ROME AND BHARATH
From a mail received
through my friend Nallasivan:
ROME
“Two beggars were
sitting side by side on a street in Rome, Italy.
One had a Cross
in front of him; the other one was holding the Star of David. Many people went
by, looked at both beggars, but only put money into the hat of the beggar
sitting behind the Cross.
The Pope came by. He
stopped to watch the throngs of people giving money to the beggar who held the
Cross while none gave to the beggar holding the Star of David. He felt sorry
for him.
Finally, the Pope
approached the beggar with the Star of David and said: "My poor fellow,
don't you understand? This is a Catholic country; this city is the seat of
Catholicism. People aren't going to give you money if you sit there with a Star
of David in front of you, especially when you're sitting beside a beggar who is
holding a Cross.
In fact, they would
probably give more money to him just out of spite!"
The beggar with the
Star of David listened to the Pope, smiled, turned to the beggar with the Cross
and said:
"Moishe, would you look who's trying to teach the Goldstein brothers about marketing?"
"Moishe, would you look who's trying to teach the Goldstein brothers about marketing?"
My response:
Good
marketing lesson.
BHARATH
I think, at the end of
Geetopadesa, there was this dialogue between Arjuna and Krishna:
"Arjuna:
'Krishna, Having been with you all these years, I was aware of all you have
been telling just now?'
Krishna: 'Then, why
did you waste my time and your time?'
Arjuna: 'I was still
uncertain about the need for a war... And you know, in love and war...
uncertainties persist till the end... I thought world should know beforehand,
what is there in your mind'"
WHICH GOT DELETED.
Hope, the new owners
of Bharatha will order a probe to know the TRUTH.
