Although he was born in a poor family, he was raised well by his father and mother.

His father owned a welding shop, and used to work for more than 12 hours a day, so that his family could lead a comfortable life.However, Raj’s father could not earn sufficient money to provide a decent life to his family.

Raj was an average student in school, and used to score around 70 percent marks.

Since his marks weren’t very high, he could not get the desired course that he wanted to study.

Instead, he joined a bachelor’s degree course, completed the course successfully, and got a job in a company.While his life was going on with no dramatic change, his father continued to work in his welding shop, so that he did not have to depend on Raj.

After getting a permanent job, Raj’s parents wanted him to marry.

Many, many years ago, in a kingdom far, far away there lived a beautiful princess.

Every evening after dusk, Princess Rose went out on the balcony and clapped her hands.

The bird warbled its enchanting melody, and Princess Rose sang her lullaby.

Everyone in the kingdom fell asleep, but that night they only had bad dreams and nightmares.On the following day, the saddened princess asked the bird,“Tell me, golden bird, how can I make my people’s dreams so sweet again till the break of dawn?”“Black hair in rose water,” the bird chirped in reply.The princess wondered at this counsel, but abided by it, nevertheless.

Then, she dipped her hair into the rose water, and it instantly turned red again.That evening, when the bird perched on her shoulder, the radiant red glow of her hair lit up the night sky once more.

Only this time the witch also picked up all of the rose blooms in the entire kingdom.“Let’s see how you’ll break my curse now!” she sneered, filled with rage.Once again, the saddened princess asked the bird,“Tell me, golden bird, how can I make my people’s dreams so sweet again till the break of dawn?”“Black hair in rose water,” the bird chirped in reply.“But where should I find a rose?”“Black hair in rose water,” the bird chirped and flew away.The princess didn’t know what to do.

When her droppings fell on the earth, they turned into gold.

Not able to catch any bird, he decided to take some rest under the huge tree.

From the top of the tree, the bird discharged its droppings, which fell near the hunter, and turned into gold.

The hunter thought, "All these years I have been catching birds, but I have never heard of a bird's droppings turn into gold.

On his way, he thought, "If I keep this bird, I will become rich, and everyone will be suspicious.

I rather present the bird to the king, and be content with whatever he offers me in return.

Hi,What would be an adequate level of Internet service for a SMB with approx.

100 employees who are nationally dispersed in 3 primary offices?

We currently leverage many cloud services, have VOIP installed (on a separate managed connection), and will likely migrate even more of our business off-prem going forward.As we are currently saturating our 10/10 point-to-point wireless Internet at one of our locations, it seems that the only solution is more bandwidth.

MPLS and fibre appear to be popular solutions, but can be expensive depending on the region.

Are there any viable alternatives to these?

What should I be looking for?Thanks!

Once upon a time, there was a hungry fox that was looking for something to eat.

No matter how hard he tried, the fox could not find food.

Suddenly he caught sight of a big tree with a hole in it.Inside the hole was a package.

The hungry fox immediately thought that there might be food in it, and became very happy.

He jumped into the hole.

When he opened the package, he saw slices of bread, meat and fruit in it!An old woodcutter had placed the food in the tree trunk before he began to cut down trees in the forest.

High on an Oak tree one morning in JuneA fairy queen sat and played a fine tune.As she plucked on her harp strings an old Irish airHer sweet lilting music was heard everywhere.Today was a day that she yearned to be free.Far away from her kingdom she wished she could be.Sometimes being queen, her patience was tested.But after playing her harp she always felt rested.

Unbeknownst to the queen hiding right down belowWas a creature in black with a face white as snow.The creature was wearing a smile ear to earAnd the thoughts it was thinking were far from sincere.

Before the queen knew it that Banshee appearedAnd spread her black cloak and they both disappeared.The queen was then taken to cliffs by the seaAnd kept in a cave with the howling banshee.

An hour or two passed till a search had begun.The fairies looked everywhere under the sun.They tried to imagine just where she would goNo queen could they find, though they looked high and low.

The queen had been put deep into a tranceTo endlessly play for the Banshee’s wild dance.She strummed on her harp through that entire mornWhile her fingertips blistered and bleeding were torn.

The Banshee joined in with a horrible screamAnd the poor fairy wished she could wake from her dream.But she didn’t know then that back at the fortThe fairies had all gathered round to hold court.

There came a time, when the pond started drying up due to lack of rain for a few years.

It must still be full of water.

There was indeed a big lake, full of water.

There were innumerable holes in the soft earth around the lake, in which a group of hares lived.

They assembled in sorrow, "Oh dear!

We may be only small hares, but we are capable of executing my plan.

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all the others, including Love.

One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left.

Except for Love.Love was the only one who stayed.

When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat.

Love said, “Richness, can you take me with you?”Richness answered, “No, I can’t.

There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat.

Look!”“What is it?” replied Lucy’s mum.

It’s so foggy out, it’s creepy.”“There’s an interesting little shop down that alleyway,” Lucy continued.

Everything they looked at had not been good enough for Lucy.“It’s too small!” she complained about one of them that looked perfect to mum.“It’s too dark!” she argued when shown a perfectly acceptable one, according to mum.“It’s too boring!” she cried when mum tried to convince her about a very sensible option she had recommended.Mum had given up trying to convince her of anything and they were walking home, frustrated at the wasted morning.

It looks like an old junk shop if you ask me.

She followed Lucy down the alleyway, more in desperation than hope.Lucy pushed the door open, which immediately set off a bell somewhere in the back of the shop.

It started to wobble but she managed to stabilise it before it keeled over.“That was close,” said Lucy in relief.

He faced a loss in his business and lost all his money.

He replied, "If the rats have eaten it up, there is nothing that you can do.

Anyway, nothing can last forever!

"  He continued, I am eager to go for a bath in the river, please ask your boy to help me carry my belongings, and to look after them while I take my bath"  The other merchant agreed, and called his son, "Son, this is your uncle.

He kept the boy inside the cave and blocked the entrance of the cave with a big rock.

Just then, a flamingo flying above swept down and carried your boy off in its claws.

Apple’s latest iPhone will be called the iPhone X, according to a leak on Saturday.The $1tn question: how far can the new iPhone 8 take Apple?The name of the phone – rumored to be priced at close to $1,000 and set to be launched on Tuesday at the company’s multibillion-dollar new headquarters – was first reported by the Apple news website 9to5Mac.

The site reported that two other new phones would be called the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.The launch marks the 10th anniversary of the iPhone, Apple’s most successful product.

With the company’s self-driving car project Titan reportedly taking a back seat, the new phones may offer an indication of Apple’s next direction.The model names were discovered and tweeted by a game developer, Steven Troughton-Smith, from a release of software code.According to 9to5Mac, the 8 and 8 Plus will be basic upgrades on the 7 and 7 Plus models that will feature glass back panels, a new micro-processing chip and wireless inductive charging.The iPhone X is the model that has Apple fans excited.

Apple is expected to do away with the traditional home button on the front – Bloomberg reported that a series of gestures will control the phone – and to introduce a high-definition 5.8in OLED display featuring accommodations for the front camera, earpiece and 3D sensors and extending to the edges at the top, bottom and sides of the device.The operating system is also reported to include a new biometric authentication mechanism, Face ID, that uses sensors that can recognize a user looking at the display.

Another innovation is reportedly a messaging app, Animoji, that uses the 3D technology to create emojis reflecting the user’s expression.The leak may embarrass Apple, which prides itself on guarding new products and capabilities.

Soon after becoming chief executive in 2012, Tim Cook said he planned to make secrecy a priority.

Once upon a time, there was a hungry fox that was looking for something to eat.

No matter how hard he tried, the fox could not find food.

Finally he went to the edge of the forest and searched there for food.

Suddenly he caught sight of a big tree with a hole in it.Inside the hole was a package.

The hungry fox immediately thought that there might be food in it, and became very happy.

He jumped into the hole.

He had little enough to break or bite; and once, when there was a great famine in the land, he could not procure even his daily bread; and as he lay thinking in his bed one evening, rolling about for trouble, he sighed, and said to his wife, “What will become of us?

How can we feed our children, when we have no more than we can eat ourselves?”“Know, then, my husband,” answered she, “we will lead them away, quite early in the morning, into the thickest part of the wood, and there make them a fire, and give them each a little piece of bread; then we will go to our work, and leave them alone, so they will not find the way home again, and we shall be freed from them.” “No, wife,” replied he, “that I can never do.

How can you bring your heart to leave my children all alone in the wood, for the wild beasts will soon come and tear them to pieces?”“Oh, you simpleton!” said she, “then we must all four die of hunger; you had better build the coffins for us.” But she left him no peace till he agreed, saying, “Ah, but I shall regret the poor children.”The two children, however, had not gone to sleep for very hunger, and so they overheard what the stepmother said to their father.

Gretel wept bitterly, and said to Hansel, “What will become of us?” “Be quiet, Gretel,” said he; “do not cry— I will soon help you.” And as soon as their parents had fallen asleep, he got up, put on his coat, and, unlocking the back door, slipped out.

The moon shone brilliantly, and the white pebbles which lay before the door seemed like silver pieces, they glittered so brightly.

Hansel stooped down, and put as many into his pocket as it would hold; and then going back, he said to Gretel, “Be comforted, dear sister, and sleep in peace; God will not forsake us.” And so saying, he went to bed again.The next morning, before the sun arose, the wife went and awoke the two children.

They investigated the pond, and agreed that the pond was full of fishes.

He immediately assembled all other fishes and told them what they had heard.

I advise all of you to follow me.

"  But the third fish disagreed.

Those who agree with me, I advise them to stay where we belong and not go to some unknown place.

"  He further said, "O Friends, the scriptures state that when the time for one's death arrives, one is not spared.
