Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant.
--Robert Louis Stevenson

The Ultimate one
1. Tries to begin any conversation with "In US ...." or "When I was in US..."

There once was a bear and a rabbit and they hated each other. The bear and rabbit then stumbled upon a magical talking tree.

The tree said: "I will grant you 3 wishes a piece if you will stop fighting!"

So the bear went first. "I wish all the bears in the forest are females." And all the bears in the forest turned into females.

The rabbit said: "I wish I had a helmet." Rabbit gets the helmet and the bear looks at him funny.

The bear wishes: "I wish all the bears in the country are females." The wish was granted.

The rabbit says, "I wish I have a motorcycle." By this point the bear thinks the rabbit is the stupidest thing he's ever seen.

The rabbit could wish for money and have all the motorcycles in the world.

The bear says: "I wish all the bears in the world are female." The wish is granted.

When it's the rabbit's turn to wish, he puts on his helmet, gets on his motorcycle, and says: "I wish that bear is gay."

Dushmani dushman se,
 pyar pasand se,
 khushi harek se,
 rishtey apnose,
 mohabbat mehbob se,
 ishq ashiq se,
 magar dosti dil se 
 jo hamne ki hai.. aap se...

Love your friends, not their sisters.
Love your sisters, not their friends.

What is a BEST and WORST news 
  you can hear at the SAME time ?
It is when your Girl Friend says
  YOU are the BEST KISSER 
  among all your Friends.

Life ends when you stop dreaming,
  hope ends when you stop believing
  and love ends when you stop caring.
So dream hope and love...
  Makes Life Beautiful
