Today...........................

Today before you think of saying an unkind word
Think of someone who can't speak
Before you complain about the taste of your food
Think of someone who has nothing to eat

Today before you complain about your husband or wife
Think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion
Before you complain about life
Think of someone who went too early to heaven

Today before you complain about your children
Think of someone who desires children but they're barren
Before you argue about your dirty house someone didn't clean or sweep
Think of the people who are living in the streets
Before whining about the distance you drive
Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet
And when you are tired and complain about your job
Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another
Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down
Put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive and still around

Life is a gift
Live it.
Enjoy it..
Celebrate it..
And fulfill it.....

History behind 12 'o' clock for Sardars....

People usually associate the dialogue BARAH BAJ GAYE (It's 12 '0' clock) with Sardars (Sikhs). It is a remark which means that they go into a 'mad' mood at twelve o' clock and start acting crazy and do all sorts of crazy things. We even say this dialogue to anybody who acts really foolish at any point of time. But not many of us are aware of the facts behind the origin of this dialogue. Here is a brief version of these facts:

"This is about the period when India was under the subjugation of the Afghans, the Mughals and the Turks. It was a habit of the marauders to loot the masses (mainly Hindus), take the spoils of war and along with them take away all their women for their pleasure. The only people who stood against these people were the Sardars. With 'guerilla' tactics, they attacked the Muslim camps and liberated the Hindu women from the clutches. The usual time of such attacks was either at noon, or midnight. The attacks were so ferocious, that the Muslims began dreading the expected attacks of the Sikhs at 12 o' clock, midnight or noon".
It was these people who coined the phrase that "Sardaron ke barah baj gaye".

And Now, THE IRONY:
The descendents of the rescued people are making fun of the rescuers!!!!! I think any person who repeats this sentence against the Sikhs is making fun of the meekness of his own lineage.

So now I guess anybody who reads this might reconsider before using this dialogue.
