THOUGHT OF THE DAY
A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.

Beti
पत्नी ने पति से कहा, "कितनी देर तक समाचार पत्र पढ़ते रहोगे? यहाँ आओ और अपनी प्यारी बेटी को खाना खिलाओ". पति ने समाचार पत्र एक तरफ़ फेका और बेटी की ध्यान दिया,बेटी की आंखों में आँसू थे और सामने खाने की प्लेट. बेटी एक अच्छी लड़की है और अपनी उम्र के बच्चों से ज्यादा समझदार. पति ने खाने की प्लेट को हाथ में लिया और बेटी से बोला,"बेटी खाना क्यों नहीं खा रही हो? आओ बेटी मैं खिलाऊँ." बेटी जिसे खाना नहीं भा रहा था, सुबक सुबक कर रोने लगी और कहने लगी,"मैं पूरा खाना खा लूँगी पर एक वादा करना पड़ेगा आपको." "वादा", पति ने बेटी को समझाते हुआ कहा, "इस प्रकार कोई महँगी चीज खरीदने के लिए जिद नहीं करते." "नहीं पापा, मैं कोई महँगी चीज के लिए जिद नहीं कर रही हूँ." फिर बेटी ने धीरे धीरे खाना खाते हुये कहा, "मैं अपने सभी बाल कटवाना चाहती हूँ." पति और पत्नी दोनों अचंभित रह गए और बेटी को बहुत समझाया कि लड़कियों के लिए सिर के सारे बाल कटवा कर गंजा होना अच्छा नहीं लगता है. पर बेटी ने जवाब दिया, "पापा आपके कहने पर मैंने सड़ा खाना, जो कि मुझे अच्छा नहीं लग रहा था, खा लिया और अब वादा पूरा करने की आपकी बारी है."अंततः बेटी की जिद के आगे पति पत्नी को उसकी बात माननी ही पड़ी. अगले दिन पति बेटी को स्कूल छोड़ने गया. बेटी गंजी बहुत ही अजीब लग रही थे. स्कूल में एक महिला ने पति से कहा, "आपकी बेटी ने एक बहुत ही बड़ा काम किया है. मेरा बेटा कैंसर से पीड़ित है और इलाज में उसके सारे बाल खत्म हो गए हैं. वह् इस हालत में स्कूल नहीं आना चाहता था क्योंकि स्कूल में लड़के उसे चिढ़ाते हैं. पर आपकी बेटी ने कहा कि वह् भी गंजी होकर स्कूल आयेगी और वह् आ गई. इस कारण देखिये मेरा बेटा भी स्कूल आ गया.आप धनया हैं कि आपके ऐसी बेटी है" पति को यह सब सुनकर रोना आ गया और उसने मन ही मन सोचा कि आज बेटी ने सीखा दिया कि प्यार क्या होता है. इस पृथ्वी पर खुशहाल वह् नहीं हैं जो अपनी शर्तों पर जीते हैं बल्कि खुशहाल वे हैं जो, जिन्हें वे प्यार करते हैं, उनके लिए बदल जाते हैं!!

Sony Xperia Z3 Compact Review: The Mighty Miniature
When Sony released the Xperia Z1 Compact, a non-outsized phone with specs nearly identical to the flagship Xperia Z1, we hoped it would be the beginning of a new trend. Large screens might be nice, but users who prefer something a little easier handle had been left out of the flagship market altogether. Unlike its "mini" counterparts, the Z1 Compact boasted of a top-end processor and camera, with only the screen really scaling down to suit the smaller body.
didn't refresh the when the was released, but thankfully the company hasn't given up on the idea altogether. After skipping a generation, the brand new Z3 is here. It's a little less premium and a lot more expensive than before, which means there isn't much of a gap between it and its full-fat sibling. We're curious about whether the Z3 Compact will carry on the mission its predecessor started, or will find a new niche for itself in the market
Look and feel
The first thing that struck us about the Z3 Compact is that it has ditched the metal frame that stood out so prominently on the Z1 Compact. There's plastic all around, which gives it a slightly lower-end feel, but the aesthetics have actually improved. Sony has toned down the colours - beyond the standard black and white, you can now choose a deep orange or a pale green instead of the bright pink and yellow.
The opaque front and back sandwich a translucent middle band. The corners have the same shock-absorbing properties as the ones on the new Z3but you won't find any of its slick curved metal. The advantages of this are that the magnetic dock connector is far better concealed, and the flaps covering the ports and slots are easier to open. One thing the two siblings do have in common is that their glass backs are so smooth, they both slide around on flat surfaces like air hockey pucks.
Sony's trademark round silver power button is in its usual place on the right edge, with the volume rocker right below it. Both are too low to be used easily, and we wish Sony had placed them more appropriately considering how this phone will typically be held. There's also a dedicated two-stage camera shutter button which doubles as a shortcut to launch the camera app even when the phone is in standby.
There are twin stereo speakers on the front. Our white review model had clearly visible cutouts for the front camera and sensors. All the other variants have black front panels, which we think looks a little better. The Z3 Compact has the same IP68 rating as its sibling, which means it is resistant to damage from exposure to dust and liquids. That's always a good thing, but the tradeoff is that you'll have to deal with the fiddly side flap every time you need to plug this phone in to charge.

You can safely conclude that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the Unites States of America will not be forgotten in a while. After a rousing speech at the United Nations General Assembly, Modi shared the stage with actor Hugh Jackman, of Wolverine fame, at the famous Central Park in New York.
After performances by various artistes like Beyonce Knowles, Modi was introduced to the crowd by actor Jackman as someone who started as a "tea salesman" and went on to become Chief Minister of Gujarat and then Prime Minister of India with a huge mandate.
At the end of his speech Modi told the wildly cheering crowd "May the force be with you", quoting from Star Wars, which instantly became a source of huge amusement for people both on and offline.
