Direct to Heaven.........

A man in Jammu and Kashmir, decided to write a book about temples around the country. He started by flying to various pilgrimage places and started moving south from North. Going to a very large temple, he began taking photographs and making notes. He spotted a golden telephone on the wall and was intrigued with a sign which read "Rs.1000 a minute." Seeking out the religious guru he asked about the phone. The Guru answered that this golden phone is, in fact, a direct line to Heaven and if he pays the price he can talk directly to God. The man thanked the guru and continued on his way. As he continued to visit temples in Delhi, Sarnath, UP, Maharashtra, Orissa, Andhra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and all around the Country, he found more phones, with the same sign and price, and got the same answer from each Guru. But, Upon entering a temple in some area, behold, he saw the usual golden Telephone. But THIS time, the sign read "Calls:1.26 Rupees/Minute." Fascinated, he asked the Guru. "Guru, Ji, I have been in cities all across the country and in each temple, I have found this golden telephone and have been told it is a direct line to Heaven and that I could talk to God, but, in the other temples the cost was Rs.1,000 a minute. Your sign reads 1.26 Rupees/Minute. Why?" The Guru, smiling, replied, "Son, you're in Kerala now. This is God's own country... and it's a local call."
