 A rare story of  a loan-shark must read & put your suggestion in the comment box......




@Salim

In a small Italian town ,hundreds of years ago, a small business owner owed a large sum of money to a loan-shark.The loan-shark was a very old,unattractive looking guy that just so happened to fancy the businessowner's daughter.

   He decided to offer the businessman to deal that would completely wipe out the debt  he owed him.However, the catch was that we would only wipe out  the debt if he could marry the bussinessman's daughter.

     Needless to say, this proposal was met with a look of disgust.

The loan-shark said that he would place two pebbles into a bag,one white & one black.

     The daughter then would have to reach into the bag & pick out a pebble.If it was black,the debt would be wiped,but the loan-shark would then marry her.If it was white, the debt would also be wiped,but the daughter wouldn't have to marry the loan-shark.

    Standing on a pebbles-strewn path in the businessman's garden, the loan-shark bent over & picked up two pebbles.While he was picking them up, the daughter noticed that he'd picked up two blacl pebbles & placed them both in the bag.He then  asked the daughter to reach into the bag & pick one.The daughter naturally had three choices as to what she could have done;

                    * Refuse to pick a pebble from the bag.

                    * Take both pebbles out of the bag and expose the loan-shark for 

                            cheating. 

                    * Pick a pebble from the bag fully well knowing it was black & sacrifice

                              herself for her   father's freedom.

She drew out a pebble from the bag, and before  looking at it 'accidentally' dropped it into the midst of the other pebbles.She  said to loan-shark;

              "oh, how clumsy of me. Never mind, if you look into the bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble I picked"

The pebble left in the bag is obviously black, & seeing as the loan-shark didn't want to be exposed,he had to play along as if the pebble the daughter dropped was white,& clear her father's debt.

Please suggest a moral after reading the story.....

  জানি না আমার জীবনে কি আছে বা আমি জীবনে কি পাবো। মানুষ আশা নামক আবেগের ওপর নির্ভর করে বেঁচে থাকে।আমিও মানুষ অতএব আমিও  আশা নিয়ে বেঁচে আছি। জীবনে যা কিছু পেয়েছি সেগুলো আমার আশার বহির্ভূত এটা এহেন সত্য। মানুষ আঘাত পেলেও যেমন বদলায় ঠিক ভালোবাসা পেলেও বদলায়। কখনও মানুষ নিজের স্বার্থের জন্য বদলায় আবার কখনও সময়ের কাছে পরাজিত হয়ে বদলায়। অতিরিক্ত ভালোবাসাও কিন্তু বদলানোর আর এক অধ্যায়।। কিন্তু এই বদলানোর পৃথিবীতে  আমি আজ এক যাযাবর। জানি না কার কাছে আমি কত টা গ্রহণযোগ্য।কারণ  আমিও  সময়ের দাস। বিষয় হলো  আমি আজ আবার একটি গল্পের সহিত উপস্থিত  হয়েছি : ছেলেটা অতি সাধারণ মধ্যবিত্ত পরিবারের জন্ম। ছোট থেকে পড়াশুনা পাগল। অনেক স্বপ্ন অনেক আশা নিয়ে পড়াশুনা  চালিয়ে গেছে।দ্বাদশ শ্রেণী উত্তীর্ণ হওয়ার পর সে বুঝতে পারে যে পারিবারিক পরিস্থিতি তার যাত্রা পথে বাঁধা হয়ে দাঁড়িয়েছে। সে সিদ্ধান্ত নেয় সে পড়াশুনার পাশাপাশি তাকে পরিবারের পাশে দাঁড়ানোর। অনেক বাঁধা বিপত্তির মধ্যে দিয়ে কোনো ভাবে বি.এ  পাশ করে।। তখনো তার উদ্দাম থেমে যায়নি। উচ্চ শিক্ষা নেওয...

All about Anglo Indian People

  Anglo-Indian, in India, a citizen of mixed Indian and, through the paternal line, European ancestry. From roughly the 18th to the early 20th century, the term referred specifically to British peopl e working in India. The meaning of the term Anglo-Indian has to some degree been in a state of flux throughout its history. It was not until the Indian census of 1911 that the term was used as a category denoting persons of mixed ethnicity. In the Government of India Act of 1935, an Anglo-Indian was formally identified as “a person whose father or any of whose other male progenitors in the male line is or was of European descent but who is a native of India.” The key points of that definition were retained when Anglo-Indians were listed as an official minority group in India’s constitution in 1950. With the diaspora of the community since that time, however, it has become ever more difficult to identify Anglo-Indians, much less to estimate the size of their population. The Anglo-In...
