something nice 4u

Madan Mohan Malviya was trying to build a good university; he had to
overcome many difficulties and barriers. He worked with determination
to start the university. There was a funds crisis; but he did not get
disheartened. He went from town to town, met many rich people and
traders to collect donations. He went to the King to request him for funds.
   
The king was furious, 'How dare you come to me for funds... that too
for a your university?' he roared with anger and took off his footwear
and flung it at Malviya.
   
Malviya picked up the footwear and left silently. He came directly to
the market place and began to auction the footwear. As it was the
king's footwear, many came forward to buy it. The price went up.
   
When king heard of this, he became uneasy. He thought it would be an
insult if his footwear were to be bought by someone for a pittance. So
he sent one of his attendants with the instruction, 'Buy that footwear
no matter what the bidding price be!'
   
Thus, Malviya managed to sell the king's own footwear to him, for a
huge amount. He used that money to build the Benares University known
popularly as BHU.
   
Moral: It is not what you have, but it is how you use what you have
that makes the difference in your life.

Hi Isha,

This is actually not the true story. I am telling this as I was a student of BHU. I completed my graduation from there.

The real story goes like this:

"Pt. Madan Mohan Malviya went to the king to ask for a donation for the university. The king took Panditji to a huge area and pointed to Panditji "Everything that you see beyond this point is mine."
Then the king said, 'I will give you every inch of land that you put your foot on."
On hearing this, Panditji said, OK and he walked around the boundary of the land.
Thus all the area that the boundary covered was donated to panditji.
This was where the place he built BHU.
If you have never been to BHU, please go and visit the university sometimes. It's a lovely place.
