The Mousetrap
It is just one of those 'forwards' usually sent by my good friend Kishan Thakker. You might have read it elsewhere and if so my apologies. But I loved it essentially for the excellent message it conveyes. Somehow you tend to identify yourself with the mouse (at least I did).

Hi, I need your advice. How does one cope with all the blogs that are being posted and manage to read and give comments as well?  This is a genuine dilemma as I know how I jump when I see any intimation of comment posted and rush to read the comment.

 ONE WORD BLOGI wonder if I could write one word blog.

Forgiving in the same spirit
Rabbi Nahum of Chernobyl was the object of constant insults from a shopkeeper. One day, the man’s business began to go downhill.   ‘It must be the rabbi, asking for vengeance from God,’ he thought.
