On Listening ..

We most of the times think that we are not being listened to .. and most of the times we don't even realize that WE are the ones who is not listening .. I got to know about a wonderful joke from a very humorous friend .. here it is ..

One day Santa feels desparate about a Problem he thinks his wife has..and goes to a Doctor. Santa tells the Doc. that her wife doesn't reply to his questions, or concerns ever.. She never listens..
Doctor suggests Santa to check out for the distance after which his wife loses the power of listening.
So, there Santa is.. at home and asks her wife from a considerable distance- "Sweetheart, what have you made for dinner today?
No reply.
Santa goes closer , repeats the question - "Sweetheart, what have you made for dinner today?
No reply.
Like this, Santa came next to his wife and asks- JAANU (My Love), what have you made for dinner today?
The lady turns back, gives Santa a tight slap on his face, and says -
(in Hindi- pandrah baar keh chuki hun, daal-chawal banaya hai, sunaai nahi deta kya?)
I have said 15 times - i have made rice and lentils, dont you listen ??

The lightening strikes on Santa's head- when he realises that the problem in listening was with him, and not with his wife!!!!

Don't you think, we even fail to realize our own errors in a mad race to point out others' ....
