Dear All,

 

Good day. This  is a true story that happened in Japan.

 

In order to renovate the house,  someone in Japan breaks open the wall.  Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between  the wooden walls.  When tearing down the walls, he found that  there was a lizard stuck there  because a nail from outside hammered into one of its feet.  He sees this, feels pity, and at the same time curious,  as when he checked the nail,  it was nailed 5 years ago when the house was first built  !!!

 

What happened?  The lizard has survived in such position for 5 years!  In a dark wall partition for 5 years without moving,  it is impossible and mind-boggling.  Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 5 years!  without moving a single step--since its foot was nailed!

 

So he stopped his work and observed the lizard,  what it has been doing, and what and how it has been  eating.

 Later, not knowing from where it came, appears another  lizard,  with food in its mouth.

 

Ah! He was stunned and touched deeply...  For the lizard that was stuck by nail,  another lizard has been feeding it for the past 5 years...  Imagine? it has been doing that untiringly for 5 long  years,  without giving up hope on its partner.

 

Imagine what a small creature can do  that a creature blessed with a brilliant mind can't.

 

Please never abandon your loved ones.  Lesson from the  Story:

 

Never Say you are Busy When They Really Need You ...

 

You May Have The Entire World At Your Feet. But You Might Be The Only World To Them..

 

A Moment of negligence might break the very heart  which loves you thru all odds..

 

Before you say something just remember..  it takes a moment to Break  but an entire lifetime to  make...

 

"Happiness keeps you Sweet, Trials keep you Strong ,Sorrow keeps you Human, Failure keeps you humble and Success keeps you glowing, but only Faith & Attitude Keeps you going... "

 

Have a loving evening!

Take care, Live Fair!!!

Operating since January 2010, Maharajas' Express is the newest luxury train of Indian Railways and easily one of the most expensive one in Asia. For 8 days this pan Indian train takes guests on a ride across the best and the most prominent destinations of the country - Taj Mahal, the Khajuraho temples, wildlife environs of Ranthambore, Fatehpur Sikri and the holy bathing Ghats of Varanasi. The cheapest rate per person per day is a whopping US$ 800 for a Deluxe cabin. The next two slabs are US$ 900 and US$ 1,400. And the Presidential Suite comes for US$ 2,500.

This train is a joint venture between Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) and Cox and Kings India Ltd. The tour is being promoted as 'Luxury travel like no other' and not without reason. The Maharajas' Express will have 88 passengers (a normal III AC coach packs in 72) living in suites fit for a prince. All food and drinks are complimentary.

 

The train comprises 24 carriages which include accommodation, dining, bar, lounge, generator and store cars. Each guest carriage has been designed to recreate the opulence of Maharaja Style living. Elegantly decorated, the interiors of the cabin exude the finesse of exquisite workmanship. Sylvan parquets, intricate carvings and palette of soft hues characterize the interiors of the train. All cabins have individual temperature control, LCD television sets, DVD players, direct dial telephones, internet, even live television and electronic safe-deposit box.

Carriages are fitted with panoramic windows to offer the vista of rolling landscape as train travels through some of the most fascinating landscapes and countryside of India. The train also has an observation lounge called the Rajah Club with a private bar. Besides these cars the train also has two elegantly appointed dining cars that offer an array of sumptuous cuisine to the guests. The Bar of the train serves an eclectic mix of wines from across the world in a serene and relaxing ambience. A high-end boutique in the train houses some perfect and intimate memorabilia to cherish this royal sojourn for a life time.
