always some small way you can improve upon yourself. Whether it's
broadening your knowledge or reducing your impact on the earth, there
are seemingly endless little things you can do to make a change for
the better. Here, we'll discuss 100 of these steps, and how you can go
about doing them.
Health
Good health is the foundation of a good life, so make these
improvements, and they'll resonate out to the rest of your life.

Eat breakfast every morning: Eating breakfast is important for your
health and mental power, supplying essential vitamins, minerals, and
energy for your day.
Get a good night's rest: You just can't have a happy and productive
life if you're tired all of the time, so get some quality shut eye.
Drink water: Step up your water intake to lose weight, feel better,
and improve your skin.
Eat slowly: Slow down when you eat, and you'll find that you consume
less while still feeling satisfied.
Cut down on junk food: Junk food has a nasty way of bringing your
health down, so avoid it whenever possible, opting instead for healthy
food like fresh fruits and vegetables.
Practice good dental hygiene: Researchers have found that dental
hygiene is important for more than cosmetic reasons-it can help you
chew food and even avoid heart disease.
Drink tea: Be sure to check out the powerhouse of benefits that tea
can deliver, which includes improved memory and prevention of ills
such as cavities, cancer, and heart disease.
Get some exercise: Whether you need to lose weight or not, exercise
will have a positive effect on your overall health and quality of
life.
Improve your energy: If you're feeling sluggish all day, chances are
you're just not going to feel good about yourself. So take a few steps
to boost your energy, and you'll be better in your daily life.
Intensify your workouts: Researchers have found that by doing more
intense workouts, you can enjoy similar benefits that you would with a
more relaxed workout for a longer period of time.
Enjoy fish a few times a week: Eat fish, and you'll get a serving of
Omega-3 fatty acids, which can help reduce heart disease.
Wear better shoes: Don't torture your toes with restrictive shoes all
the time-limit the amount of time you spend in uncomfortable shoes.
Protect your skin: Stay out of the sun to avoid skin damage, or use
sunblock to help.
Eat at home: It's easier and cheaper to prepare healthy foods on your
own at home, and skillfully cooking a meal is sure to impress just
about anyone.
Get tested for prediabetes: Diabetes is a disease that many Americans
are susceptible to, and by discovering it early on you can prevent it
or lessen its impact.

with a walk every day.
Lose weight: One of the best things you can do for your health and
overall quality of life is to shed a few pounds.

The Pancake

The Pancake

Six year old Brandon decided one Saturday morning to fix his parents
pancakes. He found a big bowl and spoon, pulled a chair to the
counter, opened the cupboard and pulled out the heavy flour canister,
spilling it on the floor .

He scooped some of the flour into the bowl with his hands, mixed in
most of a cup of milk and added some sugar, leaving a floury trail on
the floor which by now had a few tracks left by his kitten.

Brandon was covered with flour and getting frustrated. He wanted this
to be something very good for Mom and Dad, but it was getting very
bad. He didn't know what to do next, whether to put it all into the
oven or on the stove, (and he didn't know how the stove worked!).

Suddenly he saw his kitten licking from the bowl of mix and reached to
push her away, knocking the egg carton to the floor. Frantically he
tried to clean up this monumental mess but slipped on the eggs,
getting his pajamas white and sticky. And just then he saw Dad
standing at the door.

Big crocodile tears welled up in Brandon's eyes. All he'd wanted to do
was something good, but he'd made a terrible mess. He was sure a
scolding was coming, maybe even a spanking. But his father just
watched him.

Then, walking through the mess, he picked up his crying son, hugged
him and loved him, getting his own pajamas white and sticky in the
process.

That's how God deals with us. We try to do something good in life, but
it turns into a mess. Our marriage gets all sticky or we insult a
friend or we can't stand our job or our health goes sour.

Sometimes we just stand there in tears because we can't think of
anything else to do. That's when God picks us up and loves us and
forgives us, even though some of our mess gets all over Him.

But just because we might mess up, we can't stop trying to "make
pancakes," for God or for others. Sooner or later we'll get it right,
and then they'll be glad we tried...

Charles Schultz Philosophy

2009-01-26T12:16:00.003+05:30

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the
"Peanuts" comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the
questions. Just read the e-mail straight through, and you'll get the
point.
1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America Contest.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.
6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These
are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But
the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten.
Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.

Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:
1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with

Easier?

The lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are not the
ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards.
They are the ones that care.

Pass this on to those people who have made a difference in your life.??

"Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already
tomorrow in Australia "

(Charles Schultz)

How to Detect Lies

2009-01-26T12:16:00.001+05:30

Introduction to Detecting Lies:

The following techniques to telling if someone is lying are often used
by police, and security experts. This knowledge is also useful for
managers, employers, and for anyone to use in everyday situations
where telling the truth from a lie can help prevent you from being a
victim of fraud/scams and other deceptions.
Warning: Sometimes Ignorance is bliss; after gaining this knowledge,
you may be hurt when it is obvious that someone is lying to you.

Signs of Deception:

Body Language of Lies:

• Physical expression will be limited and stiff, with few arm and hand
movements. Hand, arm and leg movement are toward their own body the
liar takes up less space.
• A person who is lying to you will avoid making eye contact.
• Hands touching their face, throat & mouth. Touching or scratching
the nose or behind their ear. Not likely to touch his chest/heart with
an open hand.

Emotional Gestures & Contradiction

• Timing and duration of emotional gestures and emotions are off a
normal pace. The display of emotion is delayed, stays longer it would
naturally, then stops suddenly.
• Timing is off between emotions gestures/expression s and words.
Example: Someone says "I love it!" when receiving a gift, and then
smile after making that statement, rather then at the same time the
statement is made.
• Gestures/expression s don't match the verbal statement, such as
frowning when saying "I love you."
• Expressions are limited to mouth movements when someone is faking
emotions (like happy, surprised, sad, awe, )instead of the whole face.
For example; when someone smiles naturally their whole face is
involved: jaw/cheek movement, eyes and forehead push down, etc.

Interactions and Reactions

• A guilty person gets defensive. An innocent person will often go on
the offensive.
• A liar is uncomfortable facing his questioner/accuser and may turn
his head or body away.
• A liar might unconsciously place objects (book, coffee cup, etc.)
between themselves and you.

Verbal Context and Content

• A liar will use your words to make answer a question. When asked,
"Did you eat the last cookie?" The liar answers, "No, I did not eat
the last cookie."
•A statement with a contraction is more likely to be truthful: " I
didn't do it" instead of "I did not do it"
• Liars sometimes avoid "lying" by not making direct statements. They
imply answers instead of denying something directly.
• The guilty person may speak more than natural, adding unnecessary
details to convince you.... they are not comfortable with silence or
pauses in the conversation.

• A liar may leave out pronouns and speak in a monotonous tone. When a
truthful statement is made the pronoun is emphasized as much or more
than the rest of the words in a statement.
• Words may be garbled and spoken softly, and syntax and grammar may
be off. In other
words, his sentences will likely be muddled rather than emphasized

Other signs of a lie:

• If you believe someone is lying, then change subject of a
conversation quickly, a liar follows along willingly and becomes more
relaxed. The guilty wants the subject changed; an innocent person may
be confused by the sudden change in topics and will want to back to
the previous subject.
• Using humor or sarcasm to avoid a subject.

Final Notes:

Obviously, just because someone exhibits one or more of these signs
does not make them a liar. The above behaviors should be compared to a
persons base (normal) behavior whenever possible

Some TIPS for arranged marriage _ Pls take it as fun nothing Serious

2009-01-26T12:15:00.003+05:30

Arranged marriage

There are times in a person's life when he needs to take crucial
decisions on his own. Marriage is one of them. Believe me, the
decision on whom to marry is the most important decision a person will
make in his life. After marriage, your wife is the most important
person in your life. She can make or break your life. The mere thought
of this is very frightening.

Some of the questions that crop up are –

· What sort of a girl do I marry?

· Will she adjust in my family?

· How can I decide on a girl by just meeting her for a few times?

· When should I get married?

· This is my life. So, I should choose the girl I marry, but then what
if I make a mistake?

…. so on and so forth…

I will try to address these & many more questions in the following sections.

The Nine Rules of Arranged marriage

· Rule 1 – Magic no. 28

In an ideal scenario, a girl goes to college at the age of 18. By the
time she graduates, goes for her post graduation and/ or works for 1-2
years, she will be about 23- 24. This means that she has spent about 5
years away from her home. In the 5 years period, she would meet many
smart guys at college or during her first few years on job. So, in all
probability it would be difficult to find a good girl older than 24
yrs. Secondly, in Indian families there is lot of pressure on the
girl's to get married by the time they become 24-25.

Statistics says that there is a generation gap after every 5 years.
So, in such scenario, one would prefer to marry a girl who is about
3-4 years younger to you. Thus, working backwards, an ideal age for a
guy to get married is by 28. Earlier the marriage, the better it is.

Well, as we all know, in the current market scenario, there will never
be stability in our career. So, I believe there is no such thing as,
"I will marry when I settle down".

· Rule 2 -- Subset of marriage-able girls

At times you hear statements like, "I am not getting the right match,
I will look after 3 months, I will find a better match then". Well the
truth is otherwise. The subset of unmarried girl looking for a match
is fixed. From this subset, there would be girls who would get married
& there would be new girls added who would be looking for a match. The
net result is that at any given time, the variety & number of
marriage-able girls are fixed.

· Rule 3 – Competition for girls

Like all other facets of life, there is lot of competition for good
girls. In my own case, I was rejected by girls. So, if you are looking
for a girl who is post graduate, done her Engg, is working, very
beautiful, smart, from a good family etc. etc, just think again. There
are other guys who are also looking for similar girls & probably they
are better off than you in terms of career, looks personality etc.
Given a choice every guy would like to marry Aishwarya Rai, but then
for all Ashs in the world, there are many Salman Khans who also want
to marry them. So, set your expectations accordingly.

· Rule 4 -- Understanding girls

You would have met a lot of people during your life. As we all know,
its difficult to judge a person based on a few meetings. I am sure you
would agree with me that in case of girls it is even more difficult to
understand them in a few meetings. I am still trying to understand my
wife… ;-).. Understanding your spouse is a life long assignment. So,
then how do you select a girl based on a few meeting? This is where
you need to take the help of your parents/ friends & latest
technologies like email/ chat to choose your girl.

· Rule 5 – Society expectation

The selection process is tough on every one who is involved in the
process. In arranged marriage, involvement of family & society is
pretty high. You can't meet a girl 3-4 times & then say no to her. It
is bad for her future. So, you should have a good short-listing
criterion. Meet only a few girls & be sure what you are looking for.
It is for the benefit of everyone involved.

· Rule 6 -- Marriage between equals

Unlike love marriage, in arranged marriage you also marry into the
girl's family. In arranged marriages, family support plays a major
role in ensuring a successful marriage. This is where the
compatibility of social status, family values & caste/ religion plays
a major role. Its important to note that in case there is a perfect
match between the two families, the marriage is destined to succeed.

· Rule 6 – Know yourself

Unlike love marriage, in arranged marriage you first marry a person &
then fall in love. So, it's very important that you do a
self-assessment on the kind of person you would love. They say,
"Opposite attract", while they also say, "Bird of same feather flock
together". So, you take a call on what sort of person you like. Take a
pen & paper; write down the kind of attributes you are looking for in
a girl. Say, she should ideally have the looks of Sonia, the style of
Monica, the voice of Sheena, the patience of Rashmi. You will
certainly not find the perfect girl, but then you would have a good
idea of what you are looking for.. The secret here is to set some
minimum criteria for selection. Don't forget rule no.3 here.

· Rule 7 -- Girl's Beauty

A girl's looks attract, but then no one wants to end up marrying a
dumb blonde. It is like buying your bike. When you initially buy it,
you are crazy about the looks, but later on you love it for its
reliability, fuel economy & comfort level. Similarly, a girl's looks
are important, but then it should not be the most important criteria.
Later on it life, you will get bored of her looks. It is then that her
personality & behavior will make all the difference to your marriage.
I am sure your parents will be able to advice you a lot better on this
topic.

· Rule 8 -- Taking advice

As I have mentioned in the next rule, it's very important that the
final decision on whom to marry must necessarily be yours. However,
don't do the mistake of isolating yourself from the world while
planning your marriage. Discuss with your parents & very close friends
on this issue. They are your well wishers. Secondly, in such important
matters its necessary that you analyze all possibilities. Remember, I
am not suggesting that you follow others' advice, but don't forget to
take their advice.

· Rule 9 -- Own decision

All said & done, it's your marriage & your life that is at stake. Once
you are married, you & your wife are the only persons who will be
facing the music. Don't marry a girl just because your parents or
friends asked you to do so. After marriage, if things don't work out &
you end up saying, "It's because of my friends or my parents that I
married you", then your marriage is destined for disaster. If the girl
is of your choice, it is you who will be responsible for whatever
happens. That's when the marriage works out perfectly. So, ensure that
you marriage the girl of your choice.

How to approach the selection process?

From the day, a person decides to get married; the selection process
takes a minimum of 3 months. The whole process needs a lot of patience
& commitment. The ideal steps to be followed are:

· Definition phase -- Define the minimum criteria for the kind of life
partner you are looking for in terms of education, physical
appearance, social status, family values, future career plans.
Remember the Rule 3 here.

· Lead Generation phase -- Place ads in various newspapers, magazines,
websites, through friends, family friends, family societies &
association etc. You need to exhaust all possible means of getting
biodatas at one go. Remember the Rule 2 here.

· Short listing phase – Based on your selection criteria, short-list
the interesting biodatas. The general process followed for
correspondence is as follows:

· The initiator sends a one page profile of himself/ herself

· Based on the profile, the receiver sends his/her one page profile
along with request for detailed profile, photo, horoscope

· The initiator then sends the requested information along with a
request for similar information

· The receiver send similar information

· If the biodata is selected, it is passed over to the next phase

· Casual interaction phase – Based on shortlisting, about 7 to 10
biodatas are taken forwarded to this phase. The next step to follow
here is to exchange email/ chat ids. The guy & the girl then interact
for 10 – 15 days to try & judge mutual compatibility through email/
chat.

· Family interaction phase – Based on the earlier phase, about 5 leads
are taken for consideration in this phase. During this phase, the
parents get involved & check the background information about the
families to find mutual compatibility.

· The dating phase – Based on the earlier phase about 3 leads are
taken forward to this phase. During this phase, the guy & the girl
interact by going out alone for 2-3 times. The guy needs to prepare a
set of simple questions like who is your favorite star, what are your
hobbies? He needs to use his judgment to analyze the girl based on her
responses.

· The D-day phase – Finally, the D-day comes when the guy has to
select the girl he wants to spend his life with. If the process if
followed systematically, there will be no ambiguity in deciding who
should be your life partner..

Finally, my dear friends, marriage is all about compromises. In spite
of all the planning that you do, there are a lot of uncertainties in a
marriage. In fact this is the best part about marriage. Just remember
that the person you marry must be of your choice. In such case, there
would be no going back for both of you.

A few words of advice: To make your marriage a success; just believe

Economic Super Power India in 2020

2009-01-26T12:15:00.001+05:30

The year is 2020 and call centers are opening all over the West, as
the new economic power, India, outsources work to the countries where
many jobs originated. Millions of Americans, still struggling to adapt
to a global economy, are willing to accept jobs that pay them in a new
currency sweeping much of the world: EuRupees.

Some of them, eager to land one of the customer service jobs from
India, are attending special training sessions in New York City, led
by language specialist Dave Ramsey, who goes by a simpler name for his
Indian clients: Devendra Ramaswaminathan.

On this warm afternoon, the professor is teaching three ambitious
students how to communicate with Indian customers.

Professor:
"Okay, Gary, Randy and Jane, first we need to give you Indian names.
Gary, from now on, you'll be known to your customers as Gaurav. Randy,
you'll be Ranjit. And Jane, you'll be Jagadamba." Now imagine "you
just received a call from Delhi. What do you say?"

Gary:
"Name as tea?"

Professor:
"I think you mean 'namaste.' Very good. But what do you say after that?"

Gary:
"How can I help you?"

Professor:
"You're on the right track. Anyone else?"

Jane:
"How can I be helping you?"

Professor:
"Good try! You're using the correct tense, but it's not quite right.
Anyone else?"

Randy:
"How I can be helping you?"

Professor:
"Wonderful! Word order is very important. Okay, let's try some small
talk. Give me a comment that would help you make a connection with
your Indian customers."

Randy:
"It's really hot, isn't it?"

Professor:
"The heat is always a good topic, but you haven't phrased it
correctly. Try again."

Randy:
"It's deadly hot, isn't it?"

Professor:
"That's better. But your tag question can be greatly improved."

Randy:
"It's deadly hot, no?"

Professor:
"Wonderful! You can put 'no?' at the end of almost any statement. You
are understanding me, no?"

Jane:
"Yes, we are understanding you, no?"

Professor (smiles):
"We may need to review this later. But let's move on to other things.
Have you ever heard Indians use the word 'yaar'?"

Randy:
"Yes, my Indian friends use it all the time. Just last night, one of
them said to me, 'Randy, give me yaar password. I am needing it to fix
yaar computer."

Professor (laughs):
"That's a different 'yaar,' yaar. The 'yaar' that I'm talking about
means friend or buddy. You can use it if you've developed a
camaraderie with a customer. For example, you can say, 'Come on, yaar.
I am offering you the best deal.' Do you understand, Jagadamba?"

Jane:
"Yaar, I do."

Professor (smiles):
"Okay, let's talk about accents. If your client says 'I yam wery
vorried about vat I bought for my vife,' how would you respond?"

Randy:
"Please don't be vorrying, yaar. She vill be wery happy and vill give
you a vild time tonight."

Professor:
"Vunderful! I mean, wonderful. You have a bright future, Ranjit. And
so do you, Jagadamba. But Gaurav, you haven't said anything in a
while. Do you have any questions about what we've just learned?"

Gary:
"Yes, Professor, I do have one question: Wouldn't it be simpler to
learn to speak Hindi?"

Position or Performance?

Position or Performance?

A Priest dies & is awaiting his turn in line at the Heaven's Gates.

Ahead of him is a guy, nattily dressed, in dark sun glasses, a loud shirt, leather jacket & jeans.
God asks him: Please tell me who are you, so that I may know whether to admit you into the kingdom of Heaven or not?

The guy replies: I am Seenu, Auto driver from Mangalore !
God consults his ledger, smiles & says to Seenu: Please take this silken robe & gold scarf & enter the Kingdom of Heaven ..

Now it is the priest's turn. He stands erect and speaks out in a booming voice: I am Pope's Assistant so & so, Head Priest of the so & so Church for the last 40 years.
God consults his ledger & says to the Priest: Please take this cotton robe & enter the Kingdom of Heaven ...

'Just a minute,' says the agonized Priest. 'How is it that a foul mouthed, rash driving Auto Driver is given a Silken robe & a Golden scarf and me, a Priest, who's spent his whole life preaching your Name & goodness has to make do with a Cotton robe?'

'Results my friend, results,' shrugs God.

'While you preached, people SLEPT; but when he drove his Auto, people PRAYED.'

Moral of the story: It's PERFORMANCE & not POSITION that ultimately counts.

" my client is not guilty. He merely inserted his arm into a window

and stole some jewelry.His arm is not himself. I fail to see

how you can punish the whole individual for an offence

"I agree"nodded the judge. " I hereby sentence the defendant's

A man was driving well above the speed limit when a police car suddenly emerged from behind, sirens blaring. Thinking he'd out pace the cop, the

man pushed his accelerator to the floor. His car speed rose to sixty, then seventy, eighty, and ninety. Finally, the man thought, what the heck, and

pulled over, ready to receive a speeding ticket.

The police officer got out, leaned over the man and said: .

Listen, Mister, I have had a really lousy day, and I just want to go home. Give me a good

excuse and I'll let you go..

The man thought for a moment and said: .Three weeks ago my wife ran off

with a police officer. When I saw your car in my mirror, I thought you were

that officer and were trying to give her back to me...

Women.... Women

Eleven people were hanging on a rope under a helicopter, ten men and one woman. The rope was not strong enough to carry them all, so they decided that one has to drop off. Otherwise they are all going to fall.

They were not able to choose that person, but then the woman made a very touching speech. She said that she would voluntarily let go of the rope, because as a woman she was used to giving up everything for her husband and kids, and for men in general, without ever getting anything in return.

As soon as she finished her speech, all the men started clapping their hands.

The granddaughter, wide-eyed responds, "Grandma? Is that you?"

"Yes granddaughter, it's me."

"It's really you, Grandma?" the woman repeats.

"Yes, it's really me, granddaughter. "

The woman pauses a moment, "Grandma, I have just one question for you."

"Anything, my child."

Loretta .. Nice Joke

Sweet Loretta went to see her doctor.

When he inquired about her complaint she replied that she suffered from a "discharge".

He instructed her to get undressed and lie down on the examining table.

She did so. Then the doctor put on rubber gloves and began to investigate her "private area."

After a couple of seconds he asked, "How does that feel?"

"Wonderful," she replied, "but the discharge is from my left ear."

Feeling insulted, she moved to another seat and murmurred a few things under her breathe. The man next to her asked, "What happened?"

"The driver just insulted me!" she cried. Sympathetic, the man offered, "That bastard, he shouldn't have insulted you! Go, get his number. I'll hold your monkey for you."

Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder....

2008-12-24T10:05:00.003+05:30

This is how it manifests:

I decide to water my garden. As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.

As I start toward the garage, I notice mail on the porch table that I brought up from the mail box earlier.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.

I lay my car keys on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table, and notice that the can is full.

So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage first.

But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my check book off the table, and see that there is only one check left.

My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of Coke I'd been drinking.

I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Coke aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over.

The Coke is getting warm, and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye--they need water.

I put the Coke on the counter and discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning.

I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I'll be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll
water the flowers.

I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor.

So, I set the remote back on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill.

Then, I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day:
the car isn't washed
the bills aren't paid
there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter
the flowers don't have enough water,
there is still only 1 check in my check book,
I can't find the remote,
I can't find my glasses,
and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.

Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really
baffled because I know I was busy all day, and I'm really tired.

I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it, but first I'll check my e-mail....

Do me a favour. Forward this message to everyone you know, because I don't remember who I've sent it to.

Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming

The Best 50 of Murphy's Law

You can never tell which way the train went by looking at the track.

***********

Logic is a systematic method of coming to the wrong conclusion with confidence.

Whenever a system becomes completely defined, some damn fool discovers something which either abolishes the system or expands it beyond recognition.

***********

Technology is dominated by those who manage what they do not understand.

***********

If builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs, then the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization.

The opulence of the front office decor varies inversely with the fundamental solvency of the firm.

The attention span of a computer is only as long as it electrical cord.

An expert is one who knows more and more about less and less until he knows absolutely everything about nothing.

Tell a man there are 300 billion stars in the universe and he'll believe you. Tell him a bench has wet paint on it and he'll have to touch to be sure.

All great discoveries are made by mistake.

Always draw your curves, then plot your reading.

***********

Nothing ever gets built on schedule or within budget.

***********

All's well that ends.

A meeting is an event at which the minutes are kept and the hours are lost.

***********

The first myth of management is that it exists.

A failure will not appear till a unit has passed final inspection.

New systems generate new problems.

To err is human, but to really foul things up requires a computer.

We don't know one millionth of one percent about anything.

Any given program, when running, is obsolete.

A computer makes as many mistakes in two seconds as 20 men working 20 years make.

The faster a computer is, the faster it will reach a crashed state.

Nothing motivates a man more than to see his boss putting in an honest day's work.

***********

Some people manage by the book, even though they don't know who wrote the book or even what book.

***********

The primary function of the design engineer is to make things difficult for the fabricator and impossible for the serviceman.

***********

To spot the expert, pick the one who predicts the job will take the longest and cost the most.

***********

After all is said and done, a hell of a lot more is said than done.

***********

Any circuit design must contain at least one part which is obsolete, two parts which are unobtainable and three parts which are still under development.

***********

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that works.

***********

If mathematically you end up with the incorrect answer, try multiplying by the page number.

Computers are unreliable, but humans are even more unreliable. Any system which depends on human reliability is unreliable.

In designing any type of construction, no overall dimension can be totalled correctly after 4:30 p.m. On Friday. The correct total will become self-evident at 8:15 a.m. On Monday.

All things are possible except skiing through a revolving door.

The only perfect science is hind-sight.

Everything that goes up must come down.

The degree of technical competence is inversely proportional to the level of management.

One day you'll ask me,
which is more important to you,
me or your life
I'll say, My life and you'll go
and leave me with out knowing that you are my life...

It takes a couple seconds to say Hello,
but forever to say Goodbye.

When you finally find someone who
you want to spend the rest of your life with,
you want the rest of your life to start right away.

It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone,
an hour to like someone and a day to love someone -
but takes a lifetime to forget someone

For few love can last a lifetime,
but for many not knowing when to
let go can hold them back forever.

Somewhere there's someone who dreams of your smile,
and finds in your presence that life is worth while,
so when you are lonely,
remember this is true:
Somebody, somewhere is thinking of you.

If living life would mean
loving you for the rest of my life,
I would take the chance.....

The Right Question

There were a thousand reasons not to stop.

I was running late for a very important... well, whatever it was that
I was running late for that day. The freeway was busy -- I might have
caused an accident or something. Surely the Highway Patrol would be
along soon, and it's their job to help stranded motorists, isn't it?
And I had on my navy blue suit, with a light blue shirt and a silk
tie. Not exactly car-fixing clothes, you know?

Let's see -- that makes 1,004 reasons not to stop. And here's 1,005: I
am the world's worst auto mechanic. Public enemy No. 1 on the AAA's
Ten Most Wanted list. Mr. WhatsaWrench.

The first time I tried to change my car's oil myself I did fine until
I forgot to put the new oil in. The boys down at the garage had a big
laugh over that one. The next time, I remembered to put in the new oil
-- only I put it in the transmission. That triggered a letter from the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chryslers. They suggested I
get a horse.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not feeling sorry for myself. God has given me
other talents to use for the benefit of mankind. But I'm not sure how
much it would have helped that lady who was stranded by the side of
the freeway if I would have pulled over and belched on cue.

So I didn't pull over. I drove on by, just like hundreds of other
drivers on the freeway that day. And I felt guilty about it.

So I turned off at the next exit and made my way back to see if I
could at least give her a lift or something. But by the time I got
back to her, an Hispanic gentleman had pulled in behind her, and was
tinkering away at her car's engine like he knew what he was doing.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" I asked.

"No, thank you," the lady replied. "This nice man says he can fix it."

At that moment, a voice from under the hood shouted: "Okay, try it now!"

The woman reached for the key and turned it. The engine started
beautifully. "It was your serpentine belt," the man explained, wiping
his hands on his pants. "It slipped off. It's pretty worn. You want to
take that to a mechanic, get a new one put on."

The woman tried to give the freeway Samaritan some money, but he
declined and waved as she drove off. It wasn't until we started
walking toward our cars that I noticed he had five more reasons not to
stop than I did; his family was sitting in the station wagon, waiting
patiently.

"Do you stop and help people like this often?" I asked.

He shrugged. "Somebody has to," he said. "What's she going to do if
nobody helps?"

And for him, that was reason enough.

In his final sermon, given the night before his assassination, Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. took as his text the Biblical parable of the
Good Samaritan. In the story, a man is attacked by thieves and left by
the roadside. Several travelers happen upon him, but they pass by.
Eventually, someone does stop to help, although it is the one person
who might have had a reason not to. He is a Samaritan and the victim
is a Jew. Those folks didn't get along any better back then than they
do now.

According to Dr. King, those who passed by the injured man were asking
themselves the wrong question: "If I help this man, what will happen
to me?"

The Good Samaritan stopped to help because he asked the right
question: "If I don't help this man, what will happen to him?"

A Love Like No Other

A Love Like No Other

I never felt a love
Like this before
It's a love like no other
Something I have always hoped for

A love with friendship
Humour and heart
A bond so strong
It would never part

A love that makes you smile
From ear to ear
A love that is joyful
Without any fear

A love that is beautiful
From the inside out
A love with no tears,
Pain, or doubt

A love with soul
So tender and true
A love that I have found
Only in you...

A man was sitting reading his papers when his wife hit him round the Head with a frying pan.

"What was that for?" the man asked.

The wife replied "That was for the piece of paper with the name Julie on it that I found in your pants pocket".

The man then said "When I was at the races last week Julie was the name of the horse I bet on"

The wife apologized and went on with the housework.

Three days later the man is watching TV when his wife bashes him on the head with an even bigger frying pan, knocking him unconscious.

Upon re-gaining consciousness the man asked why she had hit again.

Wife replied. "Your horse called up !!!!"

Mein Tumhare Liye Sab Kuch Karta..
Magar Mujhe Kaam Tha,
Mein Tumhare Liye Doob Ke Marta,
Magar Mujhe Zukham Tha

Har karz dosti ka ada karega kaun,
Jab hum hi nahi rahenge to dosti karega kaun.
Ay khuda mere dosto ko salamat rakhna,
Verna mere jeene ki dua karega kaun.

Jawani agar diwani na hoti to
jahan mein mohabbat nahi hoti.
Ye tim timate sitarein na hote to
raat itni suhani na hoti.

Dil se tumhe kaise mita de,
Hum tumhe kaise bhoola de.
Ji to chahata hai duniya chor de,
Ya phir judai dene wale
in duniya walo ko phod de.

Modern Panchtantra Story [ IT HUMOR ]

Modern Panchtantra Story [ IT HUMOR ]

Once upon a time, there was a software engineer who used to develop
programs on his Pentium machine, sitting under a tree on the banks of
a river. He used to earn his bread by selling those programs in the
Sunday market.

One day, while he was working, his machine tumbled off the table and
fell in the river. Encouraged by the Panchatantra story of his
childhood (the woodcutter and the axe),

He started praying to the River Goddess. The River Goddess wanted to
test him and so appeared only after one month of rigorous prayers. The
engineer told her that he had lost his computer in the river.

As usual, the Goddess wanted to test his honesty. She showed him a
match box and asked, "Is this your computer ?" Disappointed by the
Goddess' lack of computer awareness, the engineer replied, "No."

She next showed him a pocket-sized calculator and asked if that was his.

Annoyed, the engineer said "No, not at all!!"

Finally, she came up with his own Pentium machine and asked if it was his.

The engineer, left with no option, sighed and said "Yes."

The River Goddess was happy with his honesty. She was about to give

Him all three items, but before she could make the offer, the engineer

Asked her, "Don't you know that you're supposed to show me some better
computers before bringing up my own ?"

The River Goddess, angered at this, replied, "I know that, you stupid
donkey! The first two things I showed you were the Trillennium and the
Billennium, the latest computers from IBM !". So saying, she
disappeared with the Pentium!!

10 tips for good night's sleep

2008-11-30T19:02:00.005+05:30

Stick to a schedule.
Erratic bedtimes do not allow for your body
to align to the proper circadian rhythms.
Mum was right when she set a time we always had to go to sleep as kids.
Also, make sure you try to keep the same schedule on weekends too,
otherwise the next morning, you'd wake later and feel overly tired.

Sleep only at night.
Avoid daytime sleep if possible.
Daytime naps steal hours from nighttime slumber.
Limit daytime sleep to 20-minute, power naps.

Exercise.
It's actually known to help you sleep better.
Your body uses the sleep period to recover
muscles and joints that have been exercised.
Twenty to thirty minutes of exercise every day
can help you sleep, but be sure to exercise in the
morning or afternoon.
Exercise stimulates the body and aerobic activity
before bedtime may make falling asleep more difficult.

Taking a hot shower or bath
before bed helps bring on sleep because
they can relax tense muscles.

Avoid eating just before bed.
Avoid eat large meals or spicy foods before bedtime.
Give yourself at least 2 hours from
when you eat to when you sleep.
This allows for digestion to happen (or at least start)
well before you go to sleep so your body can
rest well during the night,
rather than churning away your food.

Avoid caffeine.
It keeps you awake and that's now what you want
for a good nights sleep. We all know that.

Read a fiction book.
It takes you to a whole new world if you really get into it.
And then take some time to ponder over the book as you fall asleep.
I find as I read more and more, regardless of the book,
I get more tired at night and so find it easier to fall asleep.
Different for others?

Have the room slightly cooler.
I prefer this to a hot room.
I prefer to turn off the heat and allow the coolness
to circulate in and out of the windows.
If I get cold, I wear warmer clothes.
It also saves on the bills as you're not going to
require the heat all night long.

Sleep in silence.
I find sleeping with no music or TV on more easy and restful.
I guess others are different, but sleep with no distractions
is best for a clearer mind.
Avoid alcohol before bedtime.
It's a depressant; although it may make it easier to fall asleep,
it causes you to wake up during the night.
As alcohol is digested your body goes into withdrawal
from the alcohol, causing nighttime awakenings
and often nightmares for some people.

The True Meaning of LOVE - A Touching Story

2008-11-30T19:02:00.003+05:30

The True Meaning of LOVE - A Touching Story

My husband is an Engineer by profession, I love him for his steady
nature, and I love the warm feeling when I lean against his broad
shoulders. Three years of courtship and now, two years into marriage,
I would have to admit, that I am getting tired of it. The reasons of
me loving him before, has now transformed into the cause of all my
restlessness. . I am a sentimental woman and extremely sensitive when
it comes to a relationship and my feelings, I yearn for the romantic
moments, like a little girl yearning for candy. My husband, is my
complete opposite, his lack of sensitivity, and the inability of
bringing romantic moments into our marriage has disheartened me about
love. One day, I finally decided to tell him my decision, that I
wanted a divorce.

"Why?" he asked, shocked. "I am tired, there are no reasons for
everything in the world!" I answered. He kept silent the whole night,
seems to be in deep thought with a lighted cigarette at all times.

My feeling of disappointment only increased, here was a man who can't
even express his predicament, what else can I hope from him? And
finally he asked me:" What can I do to change your mind?" Somebody
said it right, it's hard to change a person's personality, and I
guess, I have started losing faith in him.

Looking deep into his eyes I slowly answered : "Here is the question,
if you can answer and convince my heart, I will change my mind, Let's
say, I want a flower located on the face of a mountain cliff, and we
both are sure that picking the flower will cause your death, will you
do it for me?" He said :" I will give you your answer tomorrow.... "
My hopes just sank by listening to his response.

I woke up the next morning to find him gone, and saw a piece of paper
with his scratchy handwriting, underneath a milk glass, on the dining
table near the front door, that goes....

My dear, "I would not pick that flower for you, but please allow me to
explain the reasons further.." This first line was already breaking my
heart. I continued reading. "When you use the computer you always mess
up the Software programs, and you cry in front of the screen, I have
to save my fingers so that I can help to restore the programs.

You always leave the house keys behind, thus I have to save my legs to
rush home to open the door for you. You love traveling but always lose
your way in a new city, I have to save my eyes to show you the way.

You always have the cramps whenever your "good friend" approaches
every month, I have to save my palms so that I can calm the cramps in
your tummy. You like to stay indoors, and I worry that you will be
infected by infantile autism. I have to save my mouth to tell you
jokes and stories to cure your boredom.

You always stare at the computer, and that will do nothing good for
your eyes, I have to save my eyes so that when we grow old, I can help
to clip your nails,and help to remove those annoying white hairs. So I
can also hold your hand while strolling down the beach, as you enjoy
the sunshine and the beautiful sand... and tell you the colour of
flowers, just like the color of the glow on your young face...

Thus, my dear, unless I am sure that there is someone who loves you
more than I do... I could not pick that flower yet, and die.. " My
tears fell on the letter, and blurred the ink of his handwriting. ...
and as I continue on reading...

"Now, that you have finished reading my answer, if you are satisfied,
please open the front door for I am standing outside bringing your
favorite bread and fresh milk...

I rush to pull open the door, and saw his anxious face, clutching
tightly with his hands, the milk bottle and loaf of bread..... Now I
am very sure that no one will ever love me as much as he does, and I
have decided to leave the flower alone...

That's life, and love. When one is surrounded by love, the feeling of
excitement fades away, and one tends to ignore the true love that lies
in between the peace and dullness.

Love shows up in all forms, even very small and cheeky forms, it has
never been a model, it could be the most dull and boring form.. .
flowers, and romantic moments are only used and appear on the surface
of the relationship. Under all this, the pillar of true love stands...
and that's our life... Love, not words win arguments...

Story # 1
It's a fine sunny day in the forest and a lion is sitting outside his
cave, lying lazily in the sun. Along comes a fox, out on a walk.

Fox: "Do you know the time, because my watch is broken"
Lion: "Oh, I can easily fix the watch for you"
Fox: "Hmm... But it's a very complicated mechanism, and your big claws
will only destroy it even more."
Lion: "Oh no, give it to me, and it will be fixed"
Fox: "That's ridiculous! Any fool knows that lazy lions with great
claws cannot fix complicated watches"
Lion: "Sure they do, give it to me and it will be fixed"

The lion disappears into his cave, and after a while he comes back
with the watch which is running perfectly. The fox is impressed, and
the lion continues to lie lazily in the sun, looking very pleased with
himself.

Soon a wolf comes along and stops to watch the lazy lion in the sun.

Wolf: "Can I come and watch TV tonight with you, because mine is broken"
Lion: "Oh, I can easily fix your TV for you"
Wolf: "You don't expect me to believe such rubbish, do you? There is
no way that a lazy lion with big claws can fix a complicated TV.
Lion: "No problem. Do you want to try it?"

The lion goes into his cave, and after a while comes back with a
perfectly fixed TV. The wolf goes away happily and amazed.

Scene : Inside the lion's cave. In one corner are half a dozen small
and intelligent looking rabbits who are busily doing very complicated
work with very detailed instruments. In the other corner lies a huge
lion looking very pleased with himself.

It's a fine sunny day in the forest and a rabbit is sitting outside
his burrow, tippy-tapping on his typewriter. Along comes a fox, out
for a walk.

Fox: "What are you working on?"
Rabbit: "My thesis."
Fox: "Hmm... What is it about?"
Rabbit: "Oh, I'm writing about how rabbits eat foxes."
Fox: "That's ridiculous ! Any fool knows that rabbits don't eat foxes!
Rabbit: "Come with me and I'll show you!"

They both disappear into the rabbit's burrow. After few minutes,
gnawing on a fox bone, the rabbit returns to his typewriter and
resumes typing.

Soon a wolf comes along and stops to watch the hardworking rabbit.
Wolf: "What's that you are writing?"
Rabbit: "I'm doing a thesis on how rabbits eat wolves."
Wolf: "you don't expect to get such rubbish published, do you?"
Rabbit: "No problem. Do you want to see why?"

The rabbit and the wolf go into the burrow and again the rabbit
returns by himself, after a few minutes, and goes back to typing.
Finally a bear comes along and asks, "What are you doing?
Rabbit: "I'm doing a thesis on how rabbits eat bears."
Bear: "Well that's absurd !"
Rabbit: "Come into my home and I'll show you"

Scene : As they enter the burrow, the rabbit introduces the bear to the lion.

Antarctica, the Coldest Beautiful Place

2008-11-30T19:00:00.001+05:30

Antarctica is on average the coldest, driest and windiest place on
Earth. 98% of Antarctica is covered by ice, which is on average 1,6
kilometers (1 mi) in thickness. As there is little precipitation, the
interior of the continent is technically the largest desert in the
world, but a frozen desert. As for the temperature, scientists
recorded the world's lowest temperature: −89 °C (−129 °F).

]

Though it's fifth-largest continent in area, its population is about
1000, at the same time there are no permanent human residents, only
those conducting and supporting scientific research and other work on
the continent. But there are lots of penguins, fur seals and
cold-adapted plants. Maybe Antarctica is so beautiful, because there
are not many people, it has no government and belongs to no country.

Enjoy beautiful pictures of the coldest place on Earth.

10 Most Poisonous Animals Around..!

2008-11-30T18:59:00.002+05:30

1. Box Jellyfish

The top prize for ï¿½The World Most Venomous Animal,ï¿½ would go to
the Box Jellyfish. It has caused at least 5,567 recorded deaths since
1954. Their venom is among the most deadly in the world. Itï¿½s toxins
attack the heart, nervous system, and skin cells. And the worst part
of it is that jelly box venom is so overpoweringly painful, that human
victims go in shock, drown or die of heart failure before even
reaching shore. Survivors experience pain weeks after the contact with
box jellies.

You have virtually no chance to survive the venomous sting, unless
treated immediately. After a sting, vinegar should be applied for a
minimum of 30 seconds. Vinegar has acetic acid, which disables the box
jellyï¿½s nematocysts that have not yet discharged into the
bloodstream (though it will not alleviate the pain). Wearing *****
hose while swimming is also a good prevention measure since it can
prevent jellies from being able to harm your legs.

Jelly box can be found in the waters around Asia and Australia.
2. King Cobra

The King Cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) is the worldï¿½s longest venomous
snake - growing up to 5.6 m (18.5 ft) in length. Ophiophagus,
literally means ï¿½snake-eaterï¿½ as it eats other snakes. One single
bite of this deadly snake can easily kill a human. This snake is even
capable of killing a full-grown Asian Elephant within 3 hours if the
larger animal is bitten in a vulnerable area such as the trunk.

Itï¿½s venom is not as toxic as other venomous snakes, but King Cobra
is capable of injecting 5 times more venom than black mamba and can
result in mortality up to 5 times faster than that of the black mamba.
It is quite widespread, ranging across South and South-east Asia,
living in dense highland forests.
3. Marbled Cone Snail

This little beautiful looking Marbled Cone snail can be as deadly as
any other animal on this list. One drop of its venom is so powerful
that it can kill more than 20 humans. If you ever happen to be in warm
salt water environment (where these snails are often found) and see
it, donï¿½t even think of picking it up. Of course, the true purpose
of its venom is to catch its prey.

Symptoms of a cone snail sting can start immediately or can be delayed
in onset for days. It results in intense pain, swelling, numbness and
tingling. Severe cases involve muscle paralysis, vision changes and
breathing failure. There is no antivenom. However, only about 30 human
deaths have been recorded from cone snail envenomation. .
4. Blue-Ringed Octopus

The Blue-Ringed Octopus is very small, only the size of a golf ball,
but its venom is so powerful that can kill a human. Actually it
carries enough poison to kill 26 adult humans within minutes, and
there is no antidote. They are currently recognized as one of the
worldï¿½s most venomous animals.

Its painless bite may seem harmless, but the deadly neurotoxins begin
working immediately resulting in muscular weakness, numbness, followed
by a cessation and breathing and ultimately death..

They can be found in tide pools in the Pacific Ocean, from Japan to Australia.
5. Death Stalker Scorpion

Contrarily to the popular belief most of the scorpions are relatively
harmless to humans as stings produce only local effects (pain,
numbness or swelling). However, the Death Starker Scorpion is highly
dangerous species because its venom is a powerful cocktail of
neurotoxins which causes an intense and unbearable pain, then fever,
followed by coma, convulsions, paralysis and death. Fortunately, while
a sting from this scorpion is extremely painful, it would be unlikely
to kill a healthy, adult human. Young children, the old, or infirm
(with a heart condition) are at the biggest risk.

Death stalker scorpions are spread in North Africa and Middle East.
________________________________
6.. Stonefish

aybe Stonefish would never win a beauty contest, but it would
definitely win the top prize for being ï¿½The World Most Venomous
Fishï¿½. Its venom causes such a severe pain that the victims of its
sting want the affected limb to be amputated. It is described as the
worst pain known to man. It is accompanied with possible shock,
paralysis, and tissue death. If not given medical attention within a
couple of hours It can be fatal to humans.

Stonefish stores its toxins in gruesome-looking spines that are
designed to hurt would-be predators.

Stonefish mostly live above the tropic of Capricorn, often found in
the shallow tropical marine waters of the Pacific and Indian oceans,
ranging from the Red Sea to the Queensland Great Barrier Reef..
7. The Brazilian wandering spider

The Brazilian Wandering Spider (Phoneutria) or banana spider appears
in the Guinness Book of World Records 2007 for the most venomous
spider and is the spider responsible for most human deaths.

This spider is believed to have the most potent neurotoxic venom of
any living spider. Only 0..006mg (0.00000021oz) is sufficient to kill
a mouse. They are also so dangerous because of their wandering nature.
They often hide during daytime in highly populated areas inside
houses, clothes, boots, and cars.

Its venomous bite causes not only intense pain, the venom of the
spider can also cause priapism - uncomfortable *****ions lasting for
many hours that lead to impotence.
8. Inland Taipan

The prize for ï¿½The Worldï¿½s Most Venomous Snakeï¿½ goes to the
Inland Taipan of Australia.. Just a single bite from this snake
contains enough venom to kill 100 human adults or an army of 250,000
mice. Its venom is at least 200 - 400 times more toxic than a common
cobra. The Inland Taiwanï¿½s extremely neurotoxic venom can kill an
adult human in as little as 45 minutes. Fortunately this snake is very
shy and there have been no documented human fatalities (all known
bites were treated with antivenin).
9. Poison Dart Frog

If you ever happen to be running through the rain forests somewhere in
Central or South America, do not ever pick up beautiful and colorful
frogs - it can be the Poison Dart Frog. This frog is probably the most
poisonous animal on earth.The 2 inch long (5cm) golden poison dart
frog has enough venom to kill 10 adult humans or 20,000 mice. Only 2
micrograms of this lethal toxin (the amount that fits on the head of a
pin) is capable of killing a human or other large mammal. They are
called ï¿½dart frogsï¿½ because indigenous Amerindiansï¿½ use of their
toxic secretions to poison the tips of their blow-darts. Poison dart
frogs keep their poison in their skins and will sicken or kill anybody
who touches or eats it.
10. Puffer Fish

Puffer Fish are the second most poisonous vertebrate on earth (the
first one is golden dart Frog). The meat of some species is a delicacy
in both Japan (as fugu) and Korea (as bok-uh) but the problem is that
the skin and certain organs of many puffer fish are very poisonous to
humans.

This puffy fish produce rapid and violent death..Pufferï¿½s poisoning
causes deadening of the tongue and lips, dizziness, vomiting, rapid
heart rate, difficulty breathing, and muscle paralysis. Victims die
from suffocation as diaphragm muscles are paralyzed.. Most of the
victims die after four to 24 hours. There is no known antidote, Most
deaths from fugu happen when untrained people catch and prepare the
fish.

Statistics show that there were 20 to 44 incidents of fugu poisoning
per year between 1996 and 2006 in all of Japan and up to six incidents
per year led to death. Since Fuguï¿½s poison can cause near
instantaneous death, only licensed chefs are allowed to prepare it.

Extra Marital affairs..

2008-11-30T18:58:00.003+05:30

Extra Marital affairs....I bet u'll laugh till u drop

~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~
The 1st Affair:
A married man was having an affair with his secretary.
One day they went her place and made love all afternoon. Exhausted,
they fell asleep and
woke up at 8 PM.
The man hurriedly dressed and told his lover to take his shoes outside
and rub them in the
grass and dirt.
He put on his shoes and drove home.
"Where have you been?" his wife demanded.
"I can't lie to you," he replied, "I'm having an affair with my
secretary. We had sex all
afternoon."
"You lying bastard!
You've been playing golf!"
The 2nd Affair:
A middle-aged couple had two beautiful daughters but always talked
about having a son.
They decided to try one last time for the son they always wanted.
The wife got pregnant and delivered a healthy baby boy.
The joyful father rushed to the nursery to see his new son.
He was horrified at the ugliest child he had ever seen.
He told his wife, "There's no way I can be the father of this baby.
Look at the two
beautiful daughters I fathered! Have you been fooling around behind my back?"
The wife smiled sweetly and replied, "Not this time!"
The 3th Affair:
A woman was in bed with her lover when she heard her husband opening
the front door.
"Hurry," she said, "stand in the corner."
She rubbed baby oil all over him, then dusted him with talcum powder.
"Don't move until I tell you," she said. "Pretend you're a statue."
"What's this?" the husband inquired as he entered the room.
"Oh it's a statue." she replied. "The Smith's bought one and I liked
it so much I got one
for us, too."
No more was said, not even when they went to bed.
Around 2 AM the husband got up, went to the kitchen and returned with
a sandwich and a beer.
"Here," he said to the statue, "have this. I stood like that for two
days at the Smith's and
nobody offered me a damned thing."
The 4th Affair:
A man walked into a cafe, went to the bar and ordered a beer.
"Certainly, Sir, that'll be one cent."
"One Cent?" the man thought.
He glanced at the menu and asked, "How much for a nice juicy steak and
a bottle of wine?"
"A nickel," the barman replied.
"A nickel?" exclaimed the man. "Where's the guy who owns this place?"
The bartender replied, "Upstairs, with my wife."
The man asked, "What's he doing upstairs with your wife?"
The bartender replied,
"The same thing I'm doing to his business down here."
The 5th Affair:
Jake was dying. His wife sat at the bedside.
He looked up and said weakly, "I have something I must confess."
"There's no need to," his wife replied.
"No," he insisted, "I want to die in peace. I slept with your sister,
your best friend, her
best friend, and your mother!"
"I know, I know," she replied. "Now just rest and let the poison work."

Smart Husband
A married couple is driving down the interstate doing 55 mph. The
husband is behind the
wheel. His wife looks over at him and says, "Honey, I know we've been
married for 15 years,
but, I want a divorce."
The husband says nothing but slowly increases speed to 60 mph.
She then says, "I don't want you to try to talk me out of it, because
I've been having an
affair with your best friend, and he's a better lover than you."
Again the husband stays quiet and just speeds up as he clenches his
hands on the wheels.
She says, "I want the house." Again the husband speeds up, and now is
doing 70 mph.
She says, "I want the kids too." The husband just keeps driving
faster, and faster, until
he's up to 80 mph.
She says, "I want the car, the checking account, and all the credit cards, too."
The husband slowly starts to veer toward a bridge overpass piling, as
she says, "Is there
anything you want?"
The husband says, "No, I've got everything I need right here."
She asks, "What's that?"
The husband replies just before they hit the wall at 90 mph, "I've got
the airbag!"
************ ********* ********
Ex-Husband

The young married couple was sitting in a fine restaurant when the
wife looks over at a
nearby table and sees a man in a drunken stupor.
The husband asks, "I notice you've been watching that man for some
time now. Do you know
him?"
"Yes" she replies, "He's my ex-husband, and has been drinking like
that since I left him
seven years ago."
"That's remarkable" the husband replies, "I wouldn't think anybody
could celebrate that
long."
************ ********* ********* **
Pretending to be married
A man and a woman who have never met before find themselves in the
same sleeping carriage of
a train.
After the initial embarrassment, they both manage to get to sleep; the
woman on the top
bunk, the man on the lower.
In the middle of the night the woman leans over and says, "I'm sorry
to bother you, but I'm
awfully cold and I was wondering if you could possibly pass me another blanket."
The man leans out and with a glint in his eye said "I've got a better
idea ... let's pretend
we're married."
"Why not," giggles the woman.
"Good," he replies. "Get your own blanket."

************ ********* ********* ***
Argument
A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the
coffee each morning.
The wife said, "You should do it, because you get up first, and then
we don't have to wait
as long to get our coffee".
The husband said, " You are in charge of the cooking around here and
you should do it,
because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee."
Wife replies, "No you should do it, and besides it is in the Bible
that the man should do
the coffee."
Husband replies, " I can't believe that, show me."
So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and shows him
at the top of several
pages, that it indeed says:

"HEBREWS"
************ ********* ********* ****

Dying Husband
A wealthy merchant of 84 married a 25-year-old fashion model. They had
a wonderful honeymoon
in Switzerland but, unfortunately, the old boy suffered a coronary and
was hospitalised.
When his young wife came to see him, the old man said, "Sweetheart,
your future has been
taken care of regardless of what happens to me. You will have an
income of $250,000 a year,
my home in Palm Springs, my ranch in Texas, my Mercedes. You'll never
need to worry about
money."
"Oh, sweetheart, please don't talk that way," his young wife
exclaimed. "You've been so good
to me already. If you go, I'll be devastated. Oh, there must be
something I can do to help
you. Please... tell me what I can do?"
"Well," the old man gasped, "you can quit pinching the inlet tube to
my oxygen supply for
starters."

What Happy People Don’t Do

2008-11-30T18:57:00.001+05:30

Happy people spend a lot of time socializing, going to church and
reading newspapers — but they don't spend a lot of time watching
television, a new study finds.

That's what unhappy people do.

Although people who describe themselves as happy enjoy watching
television, it turns out to be the single activity they engage in less
often than unhappy people, said John Robinson, a professor of
sociology at the University of Maryland and the author of the study,
which appeared in the journal Social Indicators Research.

While most large studies on happiness have focused on the demographic
characteristics of happy people — factors like age and marital status
— Dr. Robinson and his colleagues tried to identify what activities
happy people engage in. The study relied primarily on the responses of
45,000 Americans collected over 35 years by the University of
Chicago's General Social Survey, and on published "time diary" studies
recording the daily activities of participants.

"We looked at 8 to 10 activities that happy people engage in, and for
each one, the people who did the activities more — visiting others,
going to church, all those things — were more happy," Dr. Robinson
said. "TV was the one activity that showed a negative relationship.
Unhappy people did it more, and happy people did it less."

But the researchers could not tell whether unhappy people watch more
television or whether being glued to the set is what makes people
unhappy. "I don't know that turning off the TV will make you more
happy," Dr. Robinson said.

Still, he said, the data show that people who spend the most time
watching television are least happy in the long run.

Since the major predictor of how much time is spent watching
television is whether someone works or not, Dr. Robinson added, it's
possible that rising unemployment will lead to more TV time.

Healthy Nails~~~

2008-11-30T18:56:00.001+05:30

Healthy Nails

What do your nails say about your health (the following is excerpted
from - and added to - Bate's, a medical text book):
Black streaks:
Can be a sign of heart trouble.
Blue nails:
Bluish nail beds can be a sign of respiratory problems, such as
emphysema or even asthma.
A dark blue line in the nail can be a sign of skin cancer.
Brittle nails:
Signify possible iron deficiency and thyroid problems, impaired kidney
function, and circulation problems.
Brittle, soft, shiny nails without a moon:
May indicate an overactive thyroid.
Chipping, peeling, cracking or breaking Nails:
Indicator of nutritional deficiency and insufficient hydrochloric acid
and protein.
Minerals are also needed.
Darkening of nails:
May be a sign of insufficient vitamin B12.
Dark lines under the nail:
May indicate melanoma.
Depression in the nails:
Possible sign of psoriasis.
Downward curved nail ends:
Possible heart, liver, or respiratory problems. Possible iron deficiency.
Dry and brittle nails:
May indicate a lack of vitamin A, calcium or iron.
Fragile Nails with Horizontal and Vertical Ridges:
Vitamin B deficiency
Excessive dryness, rounded and curved nail ends and darkened nails:
Insufficient intake of vitamin B12
Half white, half pink nails:
Can indicate kidney problems.
Hang nails:
Can be a sign of a lack of protein, folic acid, or vitamin C.
Horizontal ridges (sometimes referred to Beau's lines):
Can indicate circulatory problems, such as Raynaud's disease, or diabetes.
Can also be caused by a severe illness, like a high fever or pneumonia.
Inversion of the nail:
Can indicate lung problems.
Nails separated from the nail bed:
A nail coming off the nail bed can be an indication of thyroid
disorder, psoriasis, or an allergic reaction to nail products
Nails raised at the base ("clubbing") with small white ends:
show a respiratory disorder such as emphysema or chronic bronchitis.
("Clubbing" with lung disorders is one condition of the nails that is
recognized by Standard Medicine.)
Pale, white nail beds:
Can be an indicator of anemia or liver problems.
Pits in the nails:
Possible sign of psoriasis.
Red beds:
a possible indicator of heart disease
Reddish-brown spots:
Can indicate a deficiency of folic acid, protein or vitamin.
Red lines at the base of the nail fold:
Can be a possible sign of lupus or connective tissue disease.
Ridges:
Possible infection.
Vertical ridges can be caused by iron deficiency, poor absorption of
vitamins and nutrients. They can be an indicator of overall poor
health or they could be a sign of kidney trouble.
Vertical ridges, as well as bumpy nails, can also indicate a tendency
to develop arthritis.
Ridges running horizontally across the nail can indicate physical or
mental stress.
Rippling of the nail surface:
May indicate psoriasis or arthritis.
Splitting nails:
may indicate hydrochloric acid deficiency.
Vertical ridges:
Not usually a cause for concern; however these ridges could be a sign
of iron deficiency.
White, pale nail beds:
Can be an indicator of anemia or liver problems.
White lines across the nail:
May indicate a liver disease, possible heart disease, high fever, or
arsenic poisoning.
White bands:
Can indicate protein deficiency.
White spots:
White spots or white lines could be symptoms of a serious disorder -
but in most cases are caused by iron or zinc deficiency. To rule out a
serious disease, it's best to see a doctor who should also test your
levels of iron and zinc. Zinc supplements are found in any drugstore.
Iron intake should be monitored by your physician.
Yellow nails:
Can indicate internal disorders long before other symptoms appear.
Some of these are problems with the lymphatic system and liver
disorders.
Yellow, thick, slow-growing nails are a possible indicator of
respiratory problems.
Yellow-tinted nails with blue color at the base may be a sign of diabetes.
Supplements for Healthy Nails:
Of all the nutritional supplements touted for treating nails that
split, break, and peel, only one has gotten a universal thumbs-up from
science: biotin.
Biotin, a B-complex vitamin, has long been used to treat damaged
hooves on horses. Since our nails are made of the same stuff
(keratin), it turns out the vitamin works for us, too.
When dermatologists first put biotin to the test in humans nearly 20
years ago, they found that extra biotin intake could increase nail
thickness up to 25 percent in women who had soft or brittle nails.
One study used 2.5 milligrams of biotin daily to help strengthen
nails, which is quite a bit -- more than most diets and multivitamins
contain.
So if you have soft nails, first ask your doctor how best to increase
your biotin intake safely. Mehmet Oz, MD and Michael Roizen, MD,
recommend getting 300 micrograms of biotin each day.
However, your diet is always your best and safest source of vitamins
and minerals, so if you want to strengthen your nails naturally, try
eating more biotin-rich nuts (peanuts, filberts, cashews, and
almonds), eggs, soybeans, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, fish (haddock and
salmon), or vegetables like chard or carrots. But if your nails are
still brittle, investigate a supplement with your doctor.

10 things you should never say to a woman

2008-11-30T18:55:00.003+05:30

Men, there are some things that should just not be said to us girls.
'What did you do to your hair?' and 'Relax' being just two of them.
Here we give you our top ten phrases to avoid to stop all hell
breaking loose.

Madame, that is by far the ugliest nose I have ever seen, and I
compliment you on it — it suits you! — Peter Sellers, "The Pink
Panther". It's true: Some comments are better left unsaid.

But as a sophisticated man of the 21st century, you already know this.
You know you're not supposed to comment on your girlfriend's weight,
or tell her that her friends are hot. And you know she probably feels
the same way you do about the phrase, "Can we still be friends?"

Additionally, you've found that honesty, while valued in most
situations, can sometimes offend. What you say to defuse tension in an
argument often stokes the fire. We understand that the female psyche
can be complicated, and we're here to demystify what may seem like
strategically placed trapdoors.
Here are 10 things most women don't want to hear:

1) "What did you do to your hair?"

Unless we've cut our own hair — this is not common — someone else did
something to our hair. It wasn't us. And most likely we've gone to a
lot of trouble and expense for it. "I like your new haircut" is
infinitely better, and shows you're paying attention. It's also far
superior to the generic "You look different," which tells us you're as
clueless as ever.

2) "They both look the same to me."

We understand you care a lot less than we do about the outfits or the
registry dishware we're asking you to compare. But they can't possibly
look exactly the same, can they? Give us something. Anything. Mentally
roll the dice and pick one, so we don't worry about your vision — or
worse, that you don't care.

3) "Relax."

A kissing cousin to "Don't get so worked up," this generally creates
the exact opposite effect you're shooting for. When you say "Relax,"
what we hear is that you think that we're being irrational over
nothing, and this makes us do anything but relax.

4) "I've got it all under control."

Ha! Famous last words. Refrain from using them if you don't want us to
take fiendish delight in your getting lost because you won't stop for
directions (if we're late, there will be fiendish fuming), or because
you're missing a piece to your flat-screen television because you said
you didn't need to read the assembly instructions.

5) "You're not one of those feminists, are you?"

Yikes. Chivalry may be nearly dead, but saying this will drive the
last spear through its heart. Feminist or not, a woman is likely to be
offended by the question. Just be yourself. Be kind, open the door,
offer to pay, and go from there. We can choose to accept or share in
your generosity.

6) "When are you due?"

Take one second to imagine a woman turning to you and responding, "I'm
not pregnant," or "I had the baby six months ago," and you'll
understand why you should eradicate this question from your
vocabulary. In one nanosecond, innocent — even considerate — curiosity
can turn to deadly, if unintentional, offense. And there's just no way
to recover from this one.

7) "You're being emotional."

In the heat of the moment this may be true. But unless you want your
partner to become more emotional or get angry, you're better off
keeping this observation and its off-limits follow-up question — "Is
it that time of month?" — to yourself.

8) "You're acting just like your mother/my mother/my ex-girlfriend."

All three are problematic. An ex should be mentioned sparingly, and
never in comparison. Why would we want to remind you of a person you
broke up with? And come to mention it, why are you thinking about her?
You see the slippery slope. Conjuring an image of our mother or your
mother can be equally grating. We want you to treat us as individuals
and not as mere products of your (or our) upbringing.

9) "You complete me."

We've seen "Jerry Maguire" and most other romantic comedies far more
often than you, and while we may (or may not) like cheesy movie lines,
they usually fail in real life. We understand that the possibility of
romance makes inexplicable things come out of a man's — and sometimes
a woman's — mouth, but keep the compliments real and honest and
sincere and say you love someone when you mean it.

10) "Do you really think you should be eating that?"

Yes. She should be eating it. Even if she told you she's given it up.

It's a Girl's World

If he is late for class, he told,
"Time and Tide wait for none".
If she is late, then the bus was late.

If a girl is dressed as a boy, she is modern, says the world.
But if a boy is dressed as a girl, " Has he escaped from the Zoo?"

If a boy talks with a girl, "I think he is trying for her"
But if a girl talks with a boy, then she is trying to be friendly.

When a girl cries, the world is convinced of her
But when a boy cries, "Come on man! Don't be a girl".

If a girl meets with an accident, then it's the mistake of others.
And if a boy meets with an accident, "I think you should learn to drive".

If a boy sits in front of a city bus, he is mannerless and cultureless brute.
But if a girl sits in the back seat, "Try to respect ladies, man!".

If a boy gets a big rank in an entrance exam, "You've to work hard".
But if a girl gets a big rank,... Still got 33! Reservation.

If there are girls in a class, the professor gives an interesting lecture,
And if there are no girls, he says,there is no class today.

If a girl does not answer during a viva, then atleast 'smile' says the examiner.
But when a boy does not answer," better luck next time".

Build A Solar Panel and Save On Costs

2008-11-23T11:01:00.001+05:30

Build A Solar Panel and Save On Costs

by Dave Tee

The advantages of renewable energy are becoming more and more apparent. Many of us would like to make free energy but the initial costs are so high.

If you have searched online to find out how to build a solar panel i am sure that what you did find seemed overly technical. This is why i recommend you buy a do it yourself guide from a reputable source which is designed specifically for those of us who are not technically minded. I am one of them but still found no problems understanding what was involved.

Solar panel costs have risen dramatically over the past few years so it makes more and more sense to spend a fun weekend with whoever wants to help making you own homemade solar power.

Think of the achievement.

Think of the lower electricity costs.

Think of the lower impact on the the planet.

And also think of the savings you are making.

The guide i talk about on my site is written by a man with a lifetime of experience in solar power and wind turbines. Yes his guide also shows you how to have a home built wind generator.

Solar energy benefits are enormous. You can cut your bills dramatically and it was you that made the free energy.

You can reap the benefits of solar energy for a fraction of the cost of buying new.For less than a few hundred dollars you will be saving masses on your electricity bill and home built solar power has other benefits. You are helping to save the planet and think how much you can boast to your friends.

So rather than purchase a solar panel why not have some fun as well as saving on energy costs and have homemade solar panels.

Good luck and make some free energy.

House of 1000 mirrors

2008-11-23T10:00:00.003+05:30

House of 1000 mirrors

Long ago in a small, far away village, there was place known as the
House of 1000 Mirrors.

A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit.
When he arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of
the house.

He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail
wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself
staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just
as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000
great smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the House, he
thought to himself, "This is a wonderful place. I will come back and
visit it often."

In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy
as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the
stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door.

When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he
growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling
back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, "That is a horrible
place, and I will never go back there again."

All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do
you see in the faces of the people you meet?

Happy Cyrus the great Day 29th october

2008-11-23T09:58:00.003+05:30

October 29th has been designated as the international day of Cyrus the
Great, king of Persia, who declared the first charter of human rights in
the world, also known as the Cyrus Cylinder. In 539 BC, Persian troops
entered the city of Babylon, without encountering any resistance. On
October 29th, Cyrus himself entered the city, assuming the titles of "King
of Babylon, King of Sumer and Akkad, King of the four corners of the
world." The Cyrus Cylinder was placed under the walls of Babylon as a
foundation deposit, following a long Babylonian tradition.

Cyrus the Great proclaimed more than 2500 years ago: "Today, I announce
that everyone is free to choose a religion. People are free to live in all
regions and take up a job provided that they never violate other's
rights." Cyrus the Great declared himself not a conqueror, but a liberator
and the rightful successor to the crown.

Iranians are proud spiritual descendants of King Cyrus the Great, the
author of the first charter of human rights. Some of Cyrus' children live
in the patch of land, called Iran. The overwhelming majority-free humans
with human beliefs-live in every country, city, and village of the earth.

Those world-wide people, one and all, irrespective of nationality, color,
or creed are "Iranians" because they all adhere to the Cyrus Charter; they
practice and defend its lofty tenets and transfer this humanity's precious
treasure to the next generation.

The ancient world held universal admiration for the beliefs and practices
of the Persians as enshrined in the Cyrus Charter of Human Rights. Even
the Greeks, the traditional adversaries of the Persians, called Cyrus "The
Lawgiver." History has recorded that Cyrus did accomplish the task for
which he was foreordained.

Alexander the Great plundered Persia. He destroyed and burned Persepolis,
the magnificent palace complex of the Achaemenid kings in the province of
Pars. Yet, Alexander paid tribute to Cyrus the Great at his tomb. This
shows how much Cyrus the Great was respected, even in the eyes of his
fierce enemies.

Cyrus the Great was an adherent to the faith of Zoroaster, which was based
on the triad of Good Thoughts, Good Speech and Good Deeds and constituted
the standard of life for the Persians. Other teachings of the faith of
Zoroaster, arguably the most ancient divine religion, have inspired the
teachings of other faiths.

Cyrus the Great has been given many names: Cyrus the enlightened
liberator, Cyrus the benevolent, Cyrus the Law-giver, Cyrus the righteous,
Cyrus the heroic conqueror, Cyrus the tolerant King, and many more. No
other man so far back in ancient history had been showered with such
accolades by kings and emperors who knew of him only by reputation.

Cyrus the Great is the founding father of Persia and the mighty Persian
Empire- perhaps the most exemplary, magnificent and just king the world
has ever seen.

An illustration of the benevolent beliefs and practices launched by this
unsurpassed historical figure goes back to the landmark action of King
Cyrus the Great of Persia. In 539 B.C., having conquered Babylon, the
benevolent King Cyrus freed the Jews from captivity and empowered them to
return to the Promised Land and build their temple.

For his acts of kindness, Cyrus the Great is immortalized in the Bible in
several passages and called "the anointed of the Lord." The Jews,
throughout recorded history, looked to Cyrus' people, the Iranians, as
their friends and protectors against oppressors such as the Seleucids and
the Romans.

In the book of Isaiah, Cyrus, the King of Persia, a non-Jew was called the
"mash'aka" by God, according to Isaiah when he wrote: "Thus said the Lord
to his 'mash'aka (anointed), to Cyrus" (Isaiah 45:1). Jeremiah also told
that Cyrus was commissioned by God to go to Jerusalem and build the Second
Temple.

"Who carry the vessels of the Lord" (v. 11b). Ezra tells the story of the
departure of the exiles from Babylonia: "King Cyrus himself brought out
the vessels of the house of the LORD that Nebuchadnezzar had carried away
from Jerusalem and placed in the house of his gods" (Ezra 1:7).

"This says the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whom I have seized by the
right, to subdue nations before him. Yes, I will open the loins of kings,
to open the two-leaved doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut.
I will go before you and make hills level; I will tear apart the bronze
doors and cut the iron bars in two. And I will give you the treasures of
darkness, even treasures in secret places, that you may know that I am the
Lord who calls you by your name, I the God of Israel" (vs.1-3 Para.)."

To Cyrus the Great, humanity was one widely dispersed family. He believed
in this tenet long before unequivocal genetic findings clearly established
that biologically there is only one human race; that the genetic variation
within a single troop of chimpanzees, for instance, is greater than that
of any two human groupings, no matter how different they may appear
physically.

What makes people different is not their biology, but the "software" that
runs them. People are as good as their software - their beliefs.

Regrettably, the Islamic Republic despotic rulers have occupied the
Iranian nation and have set out to defeat the Iranian spirit inside Iran
and extinguish Cyrus' spirit around the world through brainwashing,
coercion, and terrorist acts beyond the borders of Iran.

But once again, human decency is rising to the challenge, this time in the
voice and actions of billions of free people who proclaim: we are also
children of Cyrus the Great; we meet any challenge and pay any price to
defeat tyranny; and we will not rest until humanity is completely free of
the despotic rule of Islamofascism.

The Worlds Most Beautiful But Amazing Structures

2008-11-23T09:58:00.001+05:30

Taj Mahal,Agra, India

According to legend, the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan wanted to build the
most beautiful mausoleum on earth to express his love for his favorite
wife. Or, perhaps he was simply asserting his political power. The Taj
Mahal may have been designed by Ustad Ahmad Lahori, an Indian
architect of Persian descent. Persian, Central Asian, and Islamic
elements combine in the great white marble tomb. The Taj Mahal is just
one of many architectural wonders in a land of majestic tombs and
erotic temples.

The Forbidden City, Beijing, China

The Forbidden City was the Chinese imperial palace from the mid-Ming
Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty. It is located in the middle of
Beijing, China and now houses the Palace Museum. For almost five
centuries, it served as the home of the Emperor and his household, and
the ceremonial and political centre of Chinese government.

The Millenium Dome, London, England

The Millennium Dome, designed by Sir Richard Rogers, 1996–99. The
Millennium Dome was one of the UK's most controversial public
projects.The new millennium officially started in Greenwich, England
on 1st January 2001; The World's biggest dome was built on the
Meridian Line (The Prime Meridian of the World) in Greenwich to
celebrate this historic event.

Burj-Al-Arab Hotel ,Dubai

Considered one of the world's most luxurious hotels from the day it
opened, The Burj Al Arab is a futuristic architectural marvel towering
over the Gulf.
Its design is stunning - the Burj Al Arab is shaped like a billowing
spinnaker sail. Its height is staggering - the hotel measures 332
meters (1053 feet), making it one of the world's highest buildings.

The Burj Al Arab (means "The Arabian Tower" in Arabic) is built on a
tiny man-made sea island, a mere football kick from the Dubai
mainland. A short causeway links the hotel to the Dubai mainland.
The skyscraping Burj Al Arab is firmly rooted. Its foundation pillars
reach 40 meters (120 feet) underneath the seabed.

Hagia Sophia, Istanbul

Famous for its impressive size, remarkable architecture and beautiful
mosaics and frescoes, the massive ochre-coloured domed structure known
as Hagia Sophia is one of Istanbul's most popular attractions. It was
commissioned as a cathedral in the 6th century and remained the most
important church in Christianity for over 900 years. In the 15th
century Mehmet II conquered the city and converted it into a mosque,
adding the minarets and fountains. It functioned as such for the next
481 years until the founding of the secular Turkish Republic in 1934
when it was declared a museum. Hagia Sophia is one of the greatest
Byzantine buildings in the world, and the vast interior, with its huge
soaring dome, is extraordinary. The interior contains different
features from its time as a cathedral and then as a mosque, including
incredible Byzantine mosaics, icons and marble columns, a mihrab
(niche indicating the direction of Mecca), and Islamic calligraphy
inscriptions on the dome from the Ottoman period.

8 Amazing Holes in the world

2008-11-23T09:57:00.003+05:30

8 Amazing Holes!
These holes are not only amazing, but some of them
Are really terrifying - especially #8! The sheer scale
Of these holes reminds you of just how tiny you are.

1. Kimberley Big Hole - South Africa

Apparently the largest ever hand-dug excavation in the world,
This 1097 meter deep mine yielded over 3 tons of diamonds
Before being closed in 1914.

(Wonder how long a meter is. Ed)

=2 0

2. Glory Hole - Monticello Dam, California
A glory hole is used when a dam is at full capacity and
Water needs to be drained from the reservoir

This is the 'Glory Hole' at Monticello dam,
And it's the largest in the world of this type
Of spillway, its size enabling it to consume
14,400 cubic feet of water every second.

3. Bingham Canyon Mine, Utah

This is supposedly the largest man-made
Excavation on earth. Extraction began in 1863
And still continues today, the pit increasing in
Size constantly. In its current state the hole
Is miles deep and 2.5 miles wide.

4. Great Blue Hole , Belize

This incredible geographical phenomenon known as a
Blue hole is situated 60 miles off the mainland of Belize .
There are numerous blue holes around the world,
But none as stunning as this one.

5. Mirny Diamond Mine , Serbia

I'm pretty sure most people have seen this one.
It's an absolute beast and holds the title of largest
Open diamond mines in the world. At 525 meters
Deep, with a top diameter of 1200 meters, there's
Even a no-fly zone above the hole due to a few
Helicopters having been sucked in.

6. Diavik Mine, Canada

The mine is so huge and the area so remote
That it has its own airport with a runway large
Enough to accommodate a Boeing 737.
It looks equally cool when the surrounding
Water is frozen.

7. Sinkhole in Guatemala

These photos are of a sinkhole that occurred
Early this year in Guatemala . The hole swallowed
A dozen homes and killed at least 3 people.

And the really terrifying one?
#8

This is the famous 'Rat Hole' that you have heard about.
It is capable of swallowing trillions and trillions of U.S.
Dollars... Annually! Never to be heard from again.

A hare and a tortoise....read till end

2008-11-23T09:57:00.001+05:30

Good Morning! Have a nice day.....

Pls read the mail till end.

Once upon a time a tortoise and a hare had an argument about who was faster .

They decided to settle the argument with a race. They agreed on a route
and started off the race.
The hare shot ahead and ran briskly for some time.
Then seeing that he was far ahead of the tortoise, he thought he'd sit under
a tree for some time and relax before continuing the race. He sat under
the tree and soon fell asleep.

The tortoise plodding on overtook him and soon finished the race,
emerging as the undisputed champ.

The hare woke up
and realized that he'd lost the race.
The moral- "Slow and steady wins the race. This is the version of the
story that we've all grown up with."

THE STORY DOESN'T END HERE

there are few more interesting
things.....it continues as follows..... .

The hare was disappointed at losing the race and he did some
soul-searching.
He realized that he'd lost the race only because he had been overconfident,
careless and lax.
If he had not taken things for granted, there's no way the tortoise
could have beaten him. So he challenged the tortoise to another race.
The tortoise agreed. This time, the hare went all out and ran without
stopping from start to finish. He won by several miles.
The moral - " Fast and consistent will always beat the slow and steady.
It's good to be slow and steady; but it's better to be fast and reliable."

THE STORY DOESN'T END HERE

The tortoise did some thinking this time, and realized that there's no
way it can beat the hare in a race the way it was currently formatted.

It thought for a while, and then challenged the hare to another race, but
on a slightly different route. The hare agreed. They started off. In keeping
with his self-made commitment to be consistently fast, the hare took off and
ran at top speed until he came to a broad river. The finishing line was a
couple of kilometres on the other side of the river.

The hare sat there
wondering what to do.
In the meantime the tortoise trundled along, got into the river, swam
to the opposite bank, continued walking and finished the race.

The moral - "First identify your core competency and then change the
playing field to suit your core competency."

THE STORY STILL HASN'T ENDED

The hare and the tortoise, by this time, had become pretty good friends
and they did some thinking together.

Both realized that the last race could
have been run much better So they decided to do the last race again, but to
run as a team this time.

They started off, and this time the hare carried the tortoise till the
riverbank. There, the tortoise took over and swam
across with the hare on his back. On the opposite bank, the hare again carried
the tortoise and they reached the finishing line together. They both felt a
greater sense of satisfaction than they'd felt earlier.
The moral - "It's good to be individually brilliant and to have strong
core competencies; but unless you're able to work in a team and harness each
other's core competencies, you'll always perform below par because
there will always be situations at which you'll do poorly and someone else
does well.

Teamwork is mainly about situational leadership, letting the person
with the relevant core competency for a situation take leadership.
Note that neither the hare nor the tortoise gave up after failures. The
hare decided to work harder and put in more effort after his failure. The
tortoise changed his strategy because he was already working as hard as
he could."
In life, when faced with failure,
sometimes it is appropriate to work
harder and put in more effort.

Sometimes it is appropriate to change strategy and try something different.

And sometimes it is appropriate to do both.

The hare and the tortoise also learnt another vital lesson. When we
stop competing against a rival and instead start competing against the
situation, we perform far better.

To sum up- the story of the hare and tortoise has much to say:
Chief among them are that fast and consistent will always beat slow and
steady;work to your competencies; pooling resources and working as a
team will always beat individual performers; never give up when faced
with
failure; & finally, compete against the situation - not against a rival.

THE WORST HIJACKING
We shall never know the identity of the man who in 1976 made the most
unsuccessful hijack attempt ever. On a flight across America, he rose
from his seat, drew gun and took the stewardess hostage.
'Take me to Detroit,' he demanded.
'We're already going to Detroit,' she replied.
'Oh ... good,' he said, and sat down again.

THE WORST BANK ROBBERY
In August 1975 three men were on their way in to rob the Royal Bank of
Scotland at Rothesay, when they got stuck in the revolving doors. They
had to be helped free by the staff and, after thanking everyone,
sheepishly left the building.
A few minutes later they returned and announced their intention of
robbing the bank, but none of the staff believed them.
When they demanded 5,000 pounds in cash, the head cashier laughed at
them, convinced that it was a practical joke.. Then one of the men
jumped over the counter, but fell to the floor clutching his ankle.
The other two tried to make their getaway, but got trapped in the
revolving doors again.

THE WORST ANIMAL RESCUE
During the firemen's strike of 1978, the British Army had taken over
emergency fire fighting and on 14 January they were called out by an
elderly lady in South London to retrieve her cat which had trapped up
a tree.
They arrived with impressive haste and soon discharged their duty. So
grateful was the lady that she invited them all in for tea. Driving
off later, with fond farewells completed, they ran over the cat and
killed it!!

LAWYERS Vs INSURANCE
This is the best lawyer story of the year, decade, and probably the century.
A Charlotte, NC, lawyer purchased a box of very rare and expensive
cigars, and then insured them against fire among other things. Within
a month having smoked his entire stockpile of these great cigars and
without yet having made even his first premium payment on the policy,
the lawyer filed a claim against the insurance company.
In his claim, the lawyer stated the cigars were lost 'in a series of
small fires.'
The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason: that
the man had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion. The lawyer sued
and won!
In delivering the ruling, the judge agreed with the insurance company
that the claim was frivolous. The Judge stated, nevertheless, that the
lawyer held a policy from the company in which it had warranted that
the cigars were insurable and also guaranteed that it would insure
them against fire, without defining what is considered to be
unacceptable fire, and was obligated to pay the claim. Rather than
endure lengthy and costly appeal process, the insurance company
accepted the ruling and paid $15,000 to the lawyer for his loss of the
rare cigars lost in the 'fires.'
NOW FOR THE BEST PART... After the lawyer cashed the check, the
insurance company had him arrested on 24 counts of ARSON!!!!
With his own insurance claim and testimony from the previous case
being used against him, the lawyer was convicted of intentionally
burning his insured property and was sentenced to 24 months in jail
and a $24,000 fine.
This is a true story and was the 1st place winner in the recent
Criminal Lawyers Award Contest.

Very very Impressive Interview Questions and Answers..... ...

2008-11-23T09:55:00.003+05:30

Question 1: You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night,
it's raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you
see three people waiting for a bus:

An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
An old friend who once saved your life.
The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.

Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing very well that
there could only be one passenger in your car?

This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of
a job application.

* You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and
thus you should save her first;
* or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life,
and this would be the perfect chance to ! pay him back.
* However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.

The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble
coming up with his answer. Guess what was his answer?

He simply answered:

"I would give the car keys to my Old friend and let him take the lady
to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the
partner of my dreams."

Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought
limitations. Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box."

Question 2: What will you do if I run away with your sister?"

The candidate who was selected answered " I will not get a better
match for my sister than you sir"

Question 3: Interviewer (to a student girl candidate) - What is one
morning you woke up found that you were pregnant.

Girl - I will be very excited and take an off, to celebrate with my husband.

Normally an unmarried girl will be shocked to hear this, but she
managed it well. Why I should think it in the wrong way, she said
later when asked

Question 4: Interviewer: He ordered a cup of coffee for the candidate.
Coffee arrived kept before the candidate, then he asked what is before
you?

Candidate: Instantly replied "Tea"

He got selected.

You know how and why did he say "TEA" when he knows very well that
coffee was kept before.

(Answer: The question was "What is before you (U - alphabet)
Reply was "TEA" ( T - alphabet)

Alphabet "T" was before Alphabet "U"

Question 5: Where Lord Rama would have celebrated his "First Diwali"?
People will start thinking of Ayodya, Mitila [Janaki's place], Lanka
etc...

But the logic is, Diwali was a celebrated as a mark of Lord Krishna
Killing Narakasura. In Dusavataar, Krishnavathaar comes after
Raamavathaar.

So, Lord Rama would not have celebrated the Diwali At all!

Question 6: The interviewer asked to the candidate "This is your last
question of the interview. Please tell me the exact position of the
center of this table where u have kept your files."

Candidate confidently put one of his finger at some point at the table
and told that this was the central point at the table. Interviewer
asked how did u get to know that this being the central point of this
table, then he answers quickly that sir u r not likely to ask any more
question, as it was the last question that u promised to ask.....

And hence, he was selected as because of his quick-wittedness. ........

This is What Interviewer expects from the Interviewee. ....

NEVER LIE TO YOUR MOM

2008-11-21T10:59:00.001+05:30

NEVER LIE TO YOUR MOM

A Mom comes to visit her son Kumar for dinner.....who lives with a
girl roommate Sunita. During the course of the meal, his mother
couldn't help but notice how pretty Kumar's roommate was. She had long
been suspicious of a relationship between the two, and this had only
made her more curious.

Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she
started to wonder if there was more between Kumar and his roommate
than met the eye.

Reading his mom's thoughts, Kumar volunteered, "I know what you must
be thinking, but I assure you, Sunita and I are just roommates." About
a week later, Sunita came! To Kumar saying, "Ever since your mother
came to dinner, I've been unable to find the silver plate. You don't
suppose she took it, do you?" Kumar said ,"Well, I doubt it, but I'll
email her, jjust to be sure."

So he sat down and wrote :

Dear Mother:

I'm not saying that you 'did' take the silver plate from my house, I'm
not saying that you 'did not' take the silver plate .. But the fact
remains that it has been missing ever since you were here for dinner.

Love, Kumar

Several days later, Kumar received an email from his Mother which read

Dear Son:

I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with Sunita, and I'm not saying
that you 'do not' sleep with Sunita. But the fact remains that if she
was sleeping in her OWN bed, she would have found the silver plate by
now under the pillow...

Love,

Mom.

Lesson of the day:

Don't Lie to Your Mother...........especial ly if she is Indian !

10 Winter Skin Care Tips:

2008-11-21T10:39:00.001+05:30

For many people, the cold clear days of winter bring more than just a
rosy glow to the cheeks. They also bring uncomfortable dryness to the
skin of the face, hands, and feet. For some people, the problem is
worse than just a general tight, dry feeling: They get skin so dry it
results in flaking, cracking, even eczema (in which the skin becomes
inflamed).
"As soon as you turn the heat on indoors, the skin starts to dry out,"
Bonnie LaPlante, an esthetician with the Canyon Ranch resort in Lenox,
Mass., tells WebMD. "It doesn't matter if you heat your home using
oil, wood, or electricity. The skin gets dry."
Sound familiar? Read on to get WebMD's top 10 tips for boosting your
winter skin care regimen, so that your skin stays moist and healthy
through the winter months.

1. Seek a Specialist

If you go to your local drugstore, you'll be hard put to find a
salesperson who can give you good advice. That's why going to an
esthetician or dermatologist even once is a good investment. Such a
specialist can analyze your skin type, troubleshoot your current skin
care regimen, and give you advice on the skin care products you should
be using.
But that doesn't mean you'll be stuck buying high-end products.
"Inexpensive products work just as well as high-end ones," says David
Voron, MD, a dermatologist in Arcadia, Calif. "In fact, the extra
price you pay for the expensive stuff is often just for packaging and
marketing. What's most important is how your skin responds to the
product -- and how you like its feel, not how much money you paid for
it."

2. Moisturize More

You may have found a moisturizer that works just fine in spring and
summer. But as weather conditions change, so, too, should your skin
care routine. Find an "ointment" moisturizer that's oil-based, rather
than water-based, as the oil will create a protective layer on the
skin that retains more moisture than a cream or lotion. (Hint: Many
lotions labeled as "night creams" are oil-based.)
But choose your oils with care because not all oils are appropriate
for the face. Instead, look for "nonclogging" oils, like avocado oil,
mineral oil, primrose oil, or almond oil. Shea oil -- or butter -- is
controversial, because it can clog facial pores. And vegetable
shortening, LaPlante says, is a really bad idea. "It would just sit on
the skin," she says. "And it would be really greasy."
You can also look for lotions containing "humectants, " a class of
substances (including glycerine, sorbitol, and alpha-hydroxy acids)
that attract moisture to your skin.

3. Slather on the Sunscreen

No, sunscreen isn't just for summertime. Winter sun -- combined with
snow glare -- can still damage your skin. Try applying a
broad-spectrum sunscreen to your face and your hands (if they're
exposed) about 30 minutes before going outside. Reapply frequently if
you stay outside a long time.

4. Give Your Hands a Hand

The skin on your hands is thinner than on most parts of the body and
has fewer oil glands. That means it's harder to keep your hands moist,
especially in cold, dry weather. This can lead to itchiness and
cracking. Wear gloves when you go outside; if you need to wear wool to
keep your hands warm, slip on a thin cotton glove first, to avoid any
irritation the wool might cause.

5. Avoid Wet Gloves and Socks

Wet socks and gloves can irritate your skin and cause itching,
cracking, sores, or even a flare-up of eczema.

6. Hook Up the Humidifier

Central heating systems (as well as space heaters) blast hot dry air
throughout our homes and offices. Humidifiers get more moisture in the
air, which helps prevent your skin from drying out. Place several
small humidifiers throughout your home; they help disperse the
moisture more evenly.

7. Hydrate for Your Health, Not for Your Skin

If you've heard it once, you've heard it a thousand times: Drinking
water helps your skin stay young looking. In fact, it's a myth. Water
is good for your overall health and "the skin of someone who is
severely dehydrated will benefit from fluids. But the average person's
skin does not reflect the amount of water being drunk," Kenneth
Bielinski, MD, a dermatologist in Oak Lawn, Ill., tells WebMD "It's a
very common misconception. "
LaPlante agrees. "I see clients at the spa who drink their 10 to 12
glasses of water a day and still have superdry skin. It just doesn't
do that much."

8. Grease Up Your Feet

Yes, those minty foot lotions are lovely in the hot summer months, but
during the winter, your feet need stronger stuff. Try finding lotions
that contain petroleum jelly or glycerine instead. And use exfoliants
to get the dead skin off periodically; that helps any moisturizers you
use to sink in faster and deeper.

9. Pace the Peels

If your facial skin is uncomfortably dry, avoid using harsh peels,
masks, and alcohol-based toners or astringents, all of which can strip
vital oil from your skin. Instead, find a cleansing milk or mild
foaming cleanser, a toner with no alcohol, and masks that are "deeply
hydrating," rather than clay-based, which tends to draw moisture out
of the face. And use them a little less often.

10. Ban Superhot Baths

Sure, soaking in a burning-hot bath feels great after frolicking out
in the cold. But the intense heat of a hot shower or bath actually
breaks down the lipid barriers in the skin, which can lead to a loss
of moisture. "You're better off with just warm water," LaPlante
advises, "and staying in the water a shorter amount of time."
A lukewarm bath with oatmeal or baking soda, can help relieve skin
that is so dry it has become itchy, Bielinski notes. So, too, can
periodically reapplying your moisturizer. If those techniques don't
work, go see a dermatologist. "You may need a prescription lotion to
combat the dry skin," Bielinski says. "Or you may have a condition
that isn't simply dry skin and that requires different

Power of Positive Talk
A man was lost while driving through the countryside. As he tried to
reach for the map, he accidentally drove off the road into a ditch.
Though he wasn't injured, his car was stuck deep in the mud. So the
man walked to a nearby farm to ask for help.
"Warwick can get you out of that ditch," said the farmer, pointing to
an old mule standing in a field. The man looked at the decrepit old
mule and looked at the farmer who just stood there repeating, "Yep,
old Warwick can do the job." The man figured he had nothing to lose.
The two men and the mule made their way back to the ditch. The farmer
hitched the mule to the car. With a snap of the reins, he shouted,
"Pull, Fred! Pull, Jack! Pull, Ted! Pull, Warwick!"
And the mule pulled that car right out of the ditch. The man was
amazed. He thanked the farmer, patted the mule, and asked, "Why did
you call out all of those names before you called Warwick?"
The farmer grinned and said, "Old Warwick is just about blind. As long
as he believes he's part of a team, he doesn't mind pulling."

what is 101% ???

2008-11-21T10:09:00.003+05:30

take a look at this...

101%

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:

What Equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?

We have all been in situations where someone wants you to
GIVE OVER 100%.

How about ACHIEVING 101%?

What equals 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help
answer these questions:

If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

If:

H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K

8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98%

And:

K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E

11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%

But:

A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E

1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%

THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:

L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D

12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%

Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:

While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will
get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

HOW A SON/DAUGHTER THINKS OF HIS/HER DADDY AT DIFFERENT AGES:

At 10 Years
My daddy is good but is short tempered

At 12 Years
My daddy was very nice to me when I was young.

At 14 Years
My daddy is getting fastidious.

At 16 Years
My daddy is not in line with the current times.

At 18 Years

At 20 Years
Oh! Its becoming difficult to tolerate daddy. Wonder how Mother puts
up with him.

At 25 Years
Daddy is objecting to everything.

At 30 Years
It's becoming difficult to manage my son. I was so scared of my father
when I was young.

At 40 Years
Daddy brought me up with so much discipline. Even I should do the same.

At 45 Years
I am baffled as to how my daddy brought us up.

At 50 Years

love letter from HR executive

2008-11-21T09:40:00.001+05:30

Dearest Ms Juliet,

I
am very happy to inform you that I have fallen in Love with you since
the 14th of October (Sunday). With reference to the meeting held
between us on the 27th of July. at 1500 hrs, I would like to present
myself as a prospective lover.

Our love affair would be on
probation for a period of three months and depending on compatibility,
would be made permanent. Of course, upon completion of probation, there
will be continuous on the job training and performance appraisal
schemes leading up to promotion from lover to spouse.

The
expenses incurred for coffee and entertainment would initially be
shared equally between us. Later, based on your performance, I might
take up a larger share of the expenses. However I am broadminded enough
to be taken care of, on your expense account.

I request you to
kindly respond within 30 days of receiving this letter, failing which,
this offer would be cancelled without further notice and I shall be
considering someone else. I would be happy, if you could forward this
letter to your sister, if you do not wish to take up this offer.

Thanking you in anticipation,

Yours sincerely,

Romeo ( HR Executive )

Stock market explained

2008-11-21T09:39:00.001+05:30

The Stock Market

The
Stock Market simply illustrated. ..

Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced to the
villagers that he would buy monkeys for Rs10.

The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to
the forest and started catching them.

The man bought thousands at Rs10 and as supply started to diminish,
the villagers stopped their effort. He further announced that he would
now buy at Rs20.

This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching
monkeys again. Soon the supply diminished even further and people
started going back to their farms.

The offer rate increased to Rs25 and the supply of monkeys became so
little that it was an effort to even see a monkey let alone catch it.

The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at Rs50! However,
since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would
now buy on behalf of him.

In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers. "Look at
all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will
sell them to you at Rs35 and when the man returns from the city, you
can sell it to him for Rs50."

The villagers squeezed up with all their savings to buy the monkeys.

Then they never saw the man nor his assistant, only monkeys everywhere!!!!

This is Stock Market!

Text of Barack Obama's victory speech - Yes We Can

2008-11-21T09:38:00.001+05:30

Dear Friends,

Here is the Text Version of one of the most inspiring speech, made by
the first African-American President Barack Obama, the content and the
delivery as I was witnessing the speech on the T.V. was very much
touching and has moved me.

November 4th, 2008, Chicago, Illinois : Text of President-elect Barack
Obama's victory speech in Chicago on Tuesday, as released by his
campaign:

If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place
where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our
founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our
democracy, tonight is your answer. It's the answer told by lines that
stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never
seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the
very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time
must be different; that their voice could be that difference. It's the
answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and
Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay,
straight, disabled and not disabled - Americans who sent a message to
the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue
States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America. It's
the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to
be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put
their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the
hope of a better day. It's been a long time coming, but tonight,
because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining
moment, change has come to America.

I just received a very gracious call from Senator McCain. He fought
long and hard in this campaign, and he's fought even longer and harder
for the country he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that
most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the
service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. I congratulate him
and Governor Palin for all they have achieved, and I look forward to
working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.

I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from
his heart and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the
streets of Scranton and rode with on that train home to Delaware , the
Vice President-elect of the United States , Joe Biden. I would not be
standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend
for the last sixteen years, the rock of our family and the love of my
life, our nation's next First Lady, Michelle Obama. Sasha and Malia, I
love you both so much, and you have earned the new puppy that's coming
with us to the White House. And while she's no longer with us, I know
my grandmother is watching, along with the family that made me who I
am. I miss them tonight, and know that my debt to them is beyond
measure. To my campaign manager David Plouffe, my chief strategist
David Axelrod, and the best campaign team ever assembled in the
history of politics - you made this happen, and I am forever grateful
for what you've sacrificed to get it done. But above all, I will never
forget who this victory truly belongs to - it belongs to you. I was
never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn't start with
much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the
halls of Washington - it began in the backyards of Des Moines and the
living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston .

It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings
they had to give five dollars and ten dollars and twenty dollars to
this cause. It grew strength from the young people who rejected the
myth of their generation's apathy; who left their homes and their
families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep; from the
not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to
knock on the doors of perfect strangers; from the millions of
Americans who volunteered, and organized, and proved that more than
two centuries later, a government of the people, by the people and for
the people has not perished from this Earth. This is your victory.

I know you didn't do this just to win an election and I know you
didn't do it for me. You did it because you understand the enormity of
the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know
the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our
lifetime - two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in
a century. Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave
Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of
Afghanistan to risk their lives for us. There are mothers and fathers
who will lie awake after their children fall asleep and wonder how
they'll make the mortgage, or pay their doctor's bills, or save enough
for college. There is new energy to harness and new jobs to be
created; new schools to build and threats to meet and alliances to
repair.

The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get
there in one year or even one term, but America - I have never been
more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you -
we as a people will get there. There will be setbacks and false
starts. There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I
make as President, and we know that government can't solve every
problem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we
face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And above
all, I will ask you join in the work of remaking this nation the only
way it's been done in America for two-hundred and twenty-one years -
block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.

What began twenty-one months ago in the depths of winter must not end
on this autumn night. This victory alone is not the change we seek -
it is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot
happen if we go back to the way things were. It cannot happen without
you. So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism; of service and
responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder
and look after not only ourselves, but each other. Let us remember
that if this financial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot
have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers - in this
country, we rise or fall as one nation; as one people.

Let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and
pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.
Let us remember that it was a man from this state who first carried
the banner of the Republican Party to the White House - a party
founded on the values of self-reliance, individual liberty, and
national unity. Those are values we all share, and while the
Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a
measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have
held back our progress. As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided
than ours, "We are not enemies, but friends...though passion may have
strained it must not break our bonds of affection." And to those
Americans whose support I have yet to earn - I may not have won your
vote, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your
President too. And to all those watching tonight from beyond our
shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around
radios in the forgotten corners of our world - our stories are
singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American
leadership is at hand. To those who would tear this world down - we
will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security - we support
you. And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still
burns as bright - tonight we proved once more that the true strength
of our nation comes not from our the might of our arms or the scale of
our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy,
liberty, opportunity, and unyielding hope.

For that is the true genius of America - that America can change. Our
union can be perfected. And what we have already achieved gives us
hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow. This election had many
firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one
that's on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in
Atlanta . She's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to
make their voice heard in this election except for one thing - Ann
Nixon Cooper is 106 years old. She was born just a generation past
slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the
sky; when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons - because she
was a woman and because of the color of her skin.

And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century
in America - the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the
progress; the times we were told that we can't, and the people who
pressed on with that American creed: Yes We Can. At a time when
women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to
see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes We Can.

When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the
land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs
and a new sense of common purpose. Yes We Can. When the bombs fell on
our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness
a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes We Can.
She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham , a
bridge in Selma , and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that
"We Shall Overcome." Yes We Can. A man touched down on the moon, a
wall came down in Berlin , a world was connected by our own science
and imagination. And this year, in this election, she touched her
finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in
America , through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she
knows how America can change. Yes We Can.

America , we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so
much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves - if our children
should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so
lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see?
What progress will we have made?

This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is
our time - to put our people back to work and open doors of
opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause
of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental
truth - that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope,
and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us
that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up
the spirit of a people:

Yes We Can. Thank you, God bless you, and may God Bless the United
States of America .

good one

दिल का डॉक्टर

90 वर्षीय एक सज्जन की दस करोड़ की लाटरी लग गई। इतनी बड़ी खबर सुनकर कहीं
दादाजी खुशी से मर न जाएं, यह सोचकर उनके घरवालों ने उन्हें तुरंत
जानकारी नहीं दी। सबने तय किया कि पहले एक डॉक्टर को बुलवाया जाए फिर
उसकी मौजूदगी में उन्हें यह समाचार दिया जाए ताकि दिल का दौरा पड़ने की
हालत में वह स्थिति को संभाल सके।

शहर के जानेमाने दिल के डॉक्टर से संपर्क किया गया । डॉक्टर साहब ने
घरवालों को आश्वस्त किया - आप लोग चिंता मत करें । दादाजी को यह समाचार
मैं खुद दूंगा । उन्हें कुछ नहीं होगा, मेरी गारंटी है।

डॉक्टर साहब दादाजी के पास गए । कुछ देर इधर - उधर की बातें कीं फिर बोले
- दादाजी, मैं आपको एक शुभ समाचार देना चाहता हूं। आपके नाम दस करोड़ की
लाटरी निकली हैं।

दादाजी बोले - अच्छा ! लेकिन मैं इस उमर में इतने पैसों का क्या करूंगा ।
पर अब तूने यह खबर सुनाई है तो जा, आधी रकम मैंने तुझे दी।

डॉक्टर साहब धम् से जमीन पर गिरे और उनके प्राण पखेरू उड़ गए ।

Chand par kaali ghata chati toh hogi,
sitarao ko muskurahatt aati toh hogi,
tum laakh chupao dunya se magar,
akele mai tumhe apni shakal pe hasi aati toh hogi....

Hum TANHA hai per dil ko TANHA mat samazhna...
dil mein teri TASVEER laga rakhi hai...
Jab tumhe bhi Tanhayi mehsus ho to yaha chale aana..
Tumhare liye pagal khane se gaadi bhijwa rakhi hai....!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~

tumhari yaad dil se jaane nahi denge
tumhare jaisa dost khone nahi denge
sharafat se SMS bhejte rehna
varna kaan ke niche denge
aur fir rone bhi nahi denge

Bapu ne kaha paise udana chhod do......
Mummy ne kaha dance baar jana chhod do.....
Master ji ne kaha Padhai chhod do.....
Doston ne kaha peena chhod do......
Kahi koi yeh na keh de ki line maarna chhod do.......

Fizao mein tum ho,
Hawao mein tum ho,
Baharo mein tum ho,
Dhop mein tum ho,
Chhaon mein tum ho,
Sach hi suna tha buri atma ka
koi thikana nahi hota.

Surat par aapki fida ho kar,
humne aaapki tasvir banwai hai,
Ghar ko hamare nazar na lagey is liye,
Woh tasvir bahar gate par tangwai hai.

Jab Jab gire Baadal,
Teri Yaad aayi
Jhoom ke barsa Saawan,
Teri Yaad aayi
Bheega main, lekin phir bhi teri Yaad aayi
Kyon na aaye teri yaad?
Tune jo chatri ab tak nahi lautai...

Roshni agar rab ko ho manzoor,

To andhiyo me bhi chiraag jalte hai,

Roshni agar rab ko ho manzoor,

to andhiyo me bhi chiraag jalte hai,

chal-chal re naujawan bijli ka bill bharne chalte hai.........

Haqeeqat samjho ya fasana,
Apna samjho ya begana,
Suno dil ka afsana,
Ki garmi bahut hain,
Din mein teen baar nahana....

Ladkiyon ke college me strike thi,
Ladke bhi unke saath the
..Ladkiyon ne naara lagaya.
..HUMARI MAANGE
Pichhe se awaaz aayi SINDHUR SE BHAROï¿½.

Apni dosti ki gaadi kuch iss kadar chal padi
jaise kick maarte hi bike udd padi
dua hai na lage isme koi break
speed itni ho ki na kar sake koi isse overtake

Wo reshmi balon wali,

bhuri aankhon waali,

komal hoton waali,

naram pairo waali,

matakti hoi andheray main tunmharay pass ayegi aur bolegi

Hasino ne hasin bankar gunah kardiya,
Auro ko thik hamko bhi barbad kar diya ,
Isbarbadi ki hamne gazal banadi ,
Auro ne to thik unhone bhi wahh wahh kardiya

~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~

Ansoo tere nikale to aankhein meri ho,
Dil tera dhadke to dhadkan meri ho,
Khuda kare ki apni dosti itni gehari ho,
Baap tu bane to Mehanat meri ho!

~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~

Tera charcha hai har gali mein,
har ladki ko tera intezaar hai,
Yeh koi chamatkar nahi,
aaj Rakhi ka tyohar hai.

~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~

Rok lo, rok lo mera janaaza
Ki meri jaan aa gayi hai
Peeche mud kar dekho bhaiyo
Sharaab ki dukaan aa gayi hai

~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~

Hum tumhein pyaar karte hain DEEWANO ki tarah
Tum hame apnaao apno ki tarah
Agar tumne diya mujhe dhokha kabhi
To main tumhein phod doonga naariyal ki tarah

~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~

Ye to aajkal ka fashion hai
Har din nayi se dil lagate hain
Jaane kis mitti ke bane hain
Sudharte nahi itni maar khaate hain

~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~

Main aisa MSG hu jise murkh log padte hai,
nalayak log dusro ko forward karte hai,
gadhe delete karte hai aur pagal store kar lete hai.
Aap kya karne wale hai :-)

~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~

Najre Jhuki to Paimane bane,
Dil tute to Maikhane bane,
Kuch to jaroor khas hai aap mein..
Hum yoon hi nahi aapke Deewane Bane...!!!
