[Per kind courtesy : Mr Prabhakaran M A through WhatsApp ]

A man married a beautiful girl. He loved her very much. One day, she developed a skin disease. Slowly, she started to
lose her beauty. It so happened that one day her husband left for a tour. While returning, he met with an accident and
lost his eyesight. However, their married life continued as usual. But, as days passed she lost her beauty gradually. Blind
husband did not know this and there was not any difference in their married life. He continued to love her and she also
loved him very much. One day she died. Her death brought him great sorrow. He finished all her last rites and wanted
to leave that town.
A man from behind, called and said: now how will you be able to walk all alone? All these days, your wife used to help
you. He replied, I am not blind. I was acting, because if she knew I could see her ugliness, it would have pained her
more than her disease. So, I pretended to be blind. She was a very good wife. I only wanted to keep her happy.
Moral: Sometimes, it is good for us to act blind and ignore one another’s shortcomings, in order to be HAPPY.

No matter how many times the teeth bite the tongue, they still stay together in one mouth. That is the spirit
of FORGIVENESS. Even though, the eyes don’t see each other, they see things together, blink
simultaneously and cry together. That’s UNITY.

May God grant us all the spirit of forgiveness, unity and togetherness?
1. Alone I can ‘Say’ but together we can ‘Talk’.
2. Alone I can ‘Enjoy’ but together we can ‘Celebrate”
3. Alone I can ‘Smile’ but together we can ‘Laugh’.

That’s the BEAUTY of Human Relations. We are nothing without each other. STAY CONNECTED.
Quote of the Day: The razor blade is sharp but can’t cut a tree; the axe is strong but can’t cut the hair.
MORALS: Everyone is important according to his/her own unique purpose….. Never look down on anyone unless

you are admiring their shoes……

HEALTH TIPS - DIABETES
Finally, Good News for Diabetes.
A woman (65) was diabetic for the last 20+ years and was taking insulin twice a day. She used the homemade medicine
for a fortnight and now she is absolutely free of diabetes and taking all her food as normal including sweets. The doctors
have advised her to stop insulin and any other blood sugar controlling drugs.

AS RECEIVED :
Dr. Tony Almeida [Bombay Kidney Speciality Expert] made the extensive experiments with perseverance and patience
and discovered a successful treatment for diabetes. Now a days a lot of people, old men & women in particular suffer a
lot due to Diabetes.
Ingredients :

1. Wheat 100 gm.
2. Gum (of tree) – Gondhu 100 gm.
3. Barley 100 gm.
4. Black Seeds (Kalunji) 100 gm.
Method of Preparation :
 Put all the above ingredients in 5 cups of water
 Boil it for 10 minutes and put off the fire
 Filter out the seed
 Preserve water in a glass jug or bottle
How to use it?
Take one small cup of this water every day early morning when your stomach is empty. Continue this for 7 days. Next
week, repeat the same but on alternate days. With these 2 weeks of treatment, you will wonder to see that you have
become normal and can eat normal food without problem. Since these are all natural ingredients, taking them is NOT
harmful. So, those who are sceptical about this treatment, may still try it without any harm

NOTE: Please spread/share this information to as many people as you can and let them derive maximum
benefit from it.
