Just an effort to make u smile...
A little girl walked to and from school daily. Though the weather that morning was questionable and clouds were forming, she made her daily trek to the elementary school. As the afternoon progressed, the winds whipped up, along with thunder and lightning. The mother of the little girl felt concerned that her daughter would be frightened as she walked home from school and she herself feared that the electrical storm might harm her child. Following the roar of thunder, lightning, like a flaming word, would cut through the sky. Full of concern, the mother quickly got into her car and drove along the route to her child's school.
As she did so, she saw her little girl walking along, but at each flash of lightning, the child would stop, look up and smile. Another and another were to follow quickly and with each, the little girl would look at the streak of light and smile.
When the mother's car drove up beside the child, she lowered the window and called to her, "What are you doing? Why do you keep stopping?" The child answered, "I am trying to look pretty, God keeps taking my picture".

Story of Making Taj Mahal
A yellowish copy of an old portrait appears in every travel booklet in India. The portrayed lady gently gazes upon tourists from all over the world.
Her dark eyes were once softly shining like deep water in moonlight. Her exquisite beauty once cast a spell on a king. She married him in 1612, when he was still Prince Khurram. He fell for her at first sight when they were both 15 in 1607. Ever since that time, it had been Khurram’s dream to marry her. But before his wish came true, he had to marry a Persian princess first for political reasons. His beloved, therefore, had to settle for the strange role of second wife in his harem.
In Khurram’s heart, however, she was always first. Even before Prince Khurram became King Shah Jahan, he had changed her name from Arjmand Banu Begam to Mumtaz Mahal, which meant “the most beautiful crown of the palace.”
Once in a war, Shah Jahan missed Mumtaz so much that he wrote a poem to her :
When my mind and body hungered for you My spirit burned to death Your love reaching from a far Breathed life into my dead ashes. As the love of God once did to create men Visitors pass through the gate house to enter the Taj Mahal. The gate is made of red sandstone and marble. He was more and more attached to her through the years of marriage. War had been the only cause of his departure from her. But later, even war could not separate them anymore. She began to go to the battlefield with him, even when she was pregnant.
She was the only woman that bore him children. She gave birth to 14 children in 19 years of marriage. However, the 14th childbirth took her life.
For seven days and seven nights after her death, the King didn’t eat. On the eighth day, he finally walked out of his chamber. The servants and guards were all shocked to see that his hair had turned from black to gray. He put on white mourning clothes and ordered the construction of a most beautiful monument. The chosen material was pure white marble, symbolizing his flawless memory of her.
After 17 years of toil by more than 20,000 craftsmen and laborers, the miraculous construction of the mausoleum was completed. The year was 1648. Mirrored by a crystal clear manmade pond in front and the slate blue Yamuna River behind, the peerless monument was named the Taj Mahal.
In 1666, when Shah Jahan was on his deathbed, his last wish was to be carried to a window facing the Taj Mahal, to whisper again the name of his lifelong love. With the flow of the Yamuna River, hundreds of years have passed. Now, in 2006, the Taj Mahal is still located in Agra, the kingdom’s old capital city.

SWEET STORY of PENCIL & ERASER
Pencil : You know, I'm really sorry.
Eraser: For what? You didn't do anything wrong.
Pencil: I'm sorry, 'cause you get hurt because of me. Whenever I make a mistake, you're always there to erase it. But as you make my mistake vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller every time.
Eraser: That's true, but I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though, one of these days, I know I'll be gone and you have to replace me with a new one, I'm actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad.

Why Moon & Sun Appear at Different time?
This how it begins.....
A long time ago in the great big sky there was a big mushy cloud.
Inside that big mushy cloud, there lived a lovely couple it's Mr. Sun & The Lady Moon.
They were such a great couple, they never fought with each other & they livedhappily, always full of smile and laughter together.
But one day....................
Mr. Sun & The Lady Moon had a great fight..
" What are you doing here, moon? " asked Mr. Sun
" I was looking for you my dear, why are you walkin alone? " said The Lady Moon
" I don't want to see you anymore! " he shouted
" But why? " asked The Lady Moon
" You think i don't know? I saw you were kissing with Mars " answered Mr. Sun
" You Saw what?? Uh oh..no..
we were not kissing! " answered The Lady Moon
" So you think i'm blind?! " he said
" No my love no.. it wasn't like what you think, it was just a friend kiss not a french kiss.." said The Lady Moon panickly
" Oh Moon! you're such a smartass liar, you don't evenan ass! Just go away and leave me alone " said Mr. Sun
" But it was an accident, really! I have nofeeling at all for Mars, he's Venus boyfriend.. " said The Lady Moon
" So? Liar!! Just leave me alone. GO AWAY! " asked Mr. Sun
" Please calm down Sun, please reduce the fire in you.. yiu are burning with jealousy. You could hurt our friend, The Earth.. you're heat will reduce Earth's shield.." begged The Lady Moon
" Who cares! Why should i other about others while my feelings is really hurt!! You broke my heart Moon.. You broke it.." said Mr. Sun
" I'm sorry.. i'm so sorry.. i didn't mean to hurt your feeling Sun..." said The Lady Moon
" Yadaa yadaa.. You said you love me, but why you did that?!" asked Mr. Sun
" You think by saying sorry would fix the dmage you've done?? It's not that simple Lady Moonron. You've lied, and i can't believe you anymore" said Mr. Sun
" But but.. I was going to tell you.. I just need to find the right time. Even if i tell you, you'll be very mad" said The Moon
" OF COURSE I WILL BE MAD! ARGHHHHH... You fickle b*tch! You should just kiss Uranus." Said Mr. Sun on the top of his anger
The Lady Moon can't stand it so she ran away, far far away from Mr. Sun..
That's why we can only see Mr. Sun in the day time and The Lady Moon in the night with her twinkling tear drops " The stars ". Sometimes Lady Moon is still there when the morning comes, she wants to see Mr. Sun, even just from behind the clouds.
SO HOW ABOUT THE ECLIPSE ?
The Lady Moon and Mr. sun are actually still love each other so much, and sometimes it really hurts realizing how they miss each other.
So when they cloud not bear the feeling of wanting to meet, they would come across each other briefly and would caused darkness to The Earth...
It's called total eclipse of the heart!
