Boo..oh! God, what is happening in my life....

Performance vs Position.

2009-01-06T09:50:00.002+05:30

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

Ahead of him is a guy, fashionably 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 Pandi, Auto driver from Chennai!

God consults his ledger, smiles & says to Pandi: 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'

"It's PERFORMANCE & not POSITION that ultimately counts."

The Challenge!

2008-12-03T14:09:00.001+05:30

The Japanese have always loved fresh fish. But the water close to Japan has not held many fish for decades. So to feed the Japanese population, fishing boats got bigger and went farther than ever. The farther the fishermen went, the longer it took to bring the fish. If the return trip took more time, the fish were not fresh. To solve this problem, fish companies installed freezers on their boats. They would catch the fish and freeze them at sea. Freezers allowed the boats to go farther and stay longer. However, the Japanese could taste the difference between fresh and frozen fish. And they did not like the taste of frozen fish.

The frozen fish brought a lower price. So, fishing companies installed fish tanks. They would catch the fish and stuff them in the tanks, fin to fin. After a little thrashing around, they were tired, dull, and lost their fresh-fish taste. The fishing industry faced an impending crisis! But today, they get fresh-tasting fish to Japan. How did they manage? To keep the fish tasting fresh, the Japanese fishing companies still put the fish in the tanks but with a small shark. The fish are challenged and hence are constantly on the move. The challenge they face keeps them alive and fresh!

Have you realized that some of us are also living in a pond but most of the time tired and dull? Basically in our lives, sharks are new challenges to keep us active. If you are steadily conquering challenges, you are happy. Your challenges keep you energized. Don't create success and revel in it in a state of inertia. You have the resources, skills and abilities to make a difference. Put a shark in your tank and see how far you can really go!

Tit bits: Doctor and Mechanic...

2008-05-22T10:37:00.000+05:30

A mechanic was removing the cylinder heads from the motor of a car when he spotted the famous heart surgeon in his shop, who was standing off to the side, waiting for the service manager to come to take a look at his car.

The mechanic shouted across the garage,"Hello Doctor!! Please come over here for a minute."

The famous surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to the mechanic.

The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked argumentatively, "So doctor, look at this. I also open hearts, take valves out, grind 'em, put in new parts, and when I finish this will work as a new one. So how come you get the big money, when you and me is doing basically the same work? "

The doctor leaned over and whispered to the mechanic.....

He said: "Try to do it when the engine is running ".

Who is Poor?

2008-02-26T16:29:00.002+05:30

The father of a very wealthy family took his daughter on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family. On their return from their trip, the father asked his daughter.

How was the trip?

It was great, Dad.

Did you see how poor people live? the father asked.

Oh yeah, said the daughter.

So, tell me, what you learned from the trip? asked the father.

The daughter answered:
I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs.
We have walls around our property to protect us; they have friends to protect them.

The girl's father was speechless

Then his daughter added,

Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are...

Isn't perspective a wonderful thing?

Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have Appreciate every single thing you have!

PS: Read the above in a journal in a old book shop.

Does god exists..!

2008-02-05T09:19:00.000+05:30

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: "I don't believe that God exists."

"Why do you say that?" asked the customer.

"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children?

If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things." The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument.

The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt.

The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist."

"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber.

"I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!" "No!" the customer exclaimed.

"Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."

"Ah, but barbers DO exist! That's what happens when people do not come to me."

"Exactly!" affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! That's what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look to Him for help. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."

I read in a journel in my office which is about a year old. Only reading and incidents makes us to understand many things in life.

Sucess of Marriage!

2008-01-10T09:28:00.000+05:30

Once upon a time a married couple celebrated their 25th marriage anniversary. They had become famous in the city for not having a single conflict in their period of 25 years. Local newspaper editors had gathered at the occasion to find out the secret of their well known "happy going marriage".

Editor: "Sir. It's amazingly unbelievable. How did you make this possible?"

Husband recalling his old honeymoon days said: "We had been to Shimla for honeymoon after marriage. Having selected the horse riding finally, we both started the ride on different horses. My horse was pretty okay but the horse on which my wife was riding seemed to be a crazy one. On the way ahead, that horse jumped suddenly, making my wife topple over. Recovering her position from the ground, she patted the horse's back and said "This is your first time". She again climbed the horse and continued with the ride. After a while, it happened again. This time she again kept calm and said "This is your second time" and continued. When the horse dropped her third time, she silently took out the revolver from the purse and shot the horse dead !! I shouted at my wife: "What did you do you psycho. You killed the poor animal. Are you crazy?" .
.
.
.
.
.
.
She gave a silent look and said: "This is your first time!!!"."
Husband:"That's it. We are happy ever after. "

So the Dean said they can have the re-test after 3 days. They thanked him and said they will be ready by that time. On the third day they appeared before the Dean. The Dean said that as this was a Special Condition Test, All four were required to sit in Separate classrooms for the test. They all agreed as they had prepared well in the last 3 days. The Test consisted of 2 questions with the total of 100 Marks.

But you also know where you stand firm, and you can draw that line.

You're open to considering every possibility - but in the end, you stand true to yourself.

Fire, Fire....run run..!!!!

2007-10-11T15:44:00.000+05:30

Today at 3:30pm it was a very calm day till that time in office. Suddenly there was panic and fear in everybody's face because of the announcement. It said, there was a fire broke out in our office lab so everybody rush to the fire exit and evacuate from the office building to the safer place. Everybody including me where looking eachother thinking of what to do. Suddenly the fire alarm broke out and signalling that there was a fire somewhere. Then everybody rushed to the fire door and starting evacuating from the building. When we came out we saw some of colleagues where in the strecher coming out of the building. Some of my other colleagues wearing some colourful(fluorscent) jacket and running here and there. we assembled in one particular area near to the security gate and they started head counting. Finally they announced it was a kind of drill, they want to see what kind of reaction we show when there was a real fire. Then i realise that its a game, not real fire. It was a good show at the end, where they told us how fast we need to react in such scenarios. And one thing i found out today that everybody cared for their own lifes including me, they dont bother about others in these kind of scenorios. This has to change accordingly, so that in this kind of scenes we have to care for others also. Finally it was a good show with some learnings....

Give and Take.

2007-09-04T16:38:00.000+05:30

Tolerance and the adjustability are the two magic words which are required now a days to sustain in this world of myseries. We are seeing lots of divorces stories in the media in which the key factor is misunderstanding. Why this misunderstanding between the life partners reduced? is that due to the Non-intimacy, work pressure or Ego...

In my childhood my father used to tell us a story which gives an example for give and take policy one have to adapt in life and how it helps us to get not only intimacy intimacy but develops good attitude between people.

Here it goes...

In a jungle there lived a elephant couple. They lived happily as there is no shortage of supplies for their living and loved each other company. Suddenly there was a shortage in the food as there was no rain in the monsoon time. There was shortage of the drinking water, both the elephants walked for a long distance in search of some drinking water. Finally they found a small pond of water which is enough for only one elephant. The male elephant told the other that u seemed very thirsty so drink first and they if there is anything remaining i will have the rest. But the female elephant told the same thing but the other way around. Then they come to the conclusion that both of them put the trunks in to the water and drink equal amount of water so that both can get rid of the thirsty to some level. Both agreed and put the trunk and started drinking water but the water level in that small pond did not reduced. Actually the story ends in the way that the male elephant thought that atleast the female elephant drink water, the same as the female elephant which thought the male elephant drink the water. They laughed at each other and started drinking water equally and left.

We can consider this story for sharing of resources what we have or height of intimacy that we can get in to if we have the tolerance or give and take policy.

Note: Picture is not taken by me. It is from the internet.

Somebody you love and Somebody you like..

2007-08-30T17:57:00.000+05:30

Infront of the person you love, your heart beats faster
But in front of the person you like, you get happy.

Infront of the person you love, winter seems like spring
But in front of the person you like, winter is just beautiful winter.

Ifyou look into the eyes of the one you love, you blush
But if you look into the eyes of the one you like, you smile.

Infront of the person you love, you can't say everything on your mind
But in front of the person you like, you can.

Infront of the person you love, you tend to get shy
But in front of the person you like, you can show your own self.

You can't look straight into the eyes of the one you love
But you can always smile into the eyes of the one you like.

When the one you love is crying, you cry with them
But when the one you like is crying, you end up comforting.

The feeling of love starts from the eye
But the feeling of like starts from the ear.

So if you stop liking a person you used to like, all you need to do is cover your ears.
But if you try to close your eyes, love turns into a drop of tear and remains in your heart forever ...

Heart or Brain..

2007-08-08T11:02:00.000+05:30

Commonly we say dont have two minds when you are taking some important decisions in life. What are these two minds? I think this refers to the "Heart" and "Brain". What is the difference between them even though both are in the single body.

For Instance, when we are thinking about some decisions we need to take in life, we will be in huge struggle like what will happen later when i do like this. and why cant i do it in the other way? what makes us to think like this. Some they say for a particular situation do what heart says! and in the other do as Brain Says!. Heart always tell what you want in life . But Brain always tell what are the way to do it and what will happen if you do it. Brain analyzes both the positive and negative things about the particular situation. There is always a conflict between the two. Heart will say lets do it. But brain say dont do, if you do this the effect will be like this ( it will simulate the scenario in the mind). So usually it is very difficult for us to take a decision. For Example, When you want a particular girl in your life. Heart will say i like the girl lets try it and get it. But brain will put a hurdle saying some after effects you may face when u approach the girl. Finally we will be in the confusing state, by which one we have to take in to account and take action.. Heart or Brain??

Snakes and Ladders.

2007-07-24T15:13:00.000+05:30

Life is full of ups and downs where we don't know when what will happen. I feel the resemblance with the snake and the ladder board game we used to play. We roll the dice which is are the actions we do in our own life. the squares which present in the board are the life paths we have to proceed. The ups and downs are mentioned in the way of ladders and snakes. There are many snakes and ladders with different sizes which leads to the different squares. In life what ever the decision we take, we are responsible for that we can blame others for it. when we play the game we will understand that it very clearly that we are rolling the dice and the result will be vary and based on the results we may be either bitten by the snake or go upwards through ladder. After all these oppurtunities and obstacles it is how we reach the end point to finish the game.I think in earlier days these types of games are played for motivating one to proceed through the life.

People who are lucky will reach top at the earliest others have to try hard and reach.

Racism...!

2007-07-10T09:42:00.000+05:30

Similiar to dieseases like Aids, Cancer..there is no cure for this social diesease called "RACISM". The below mentioned which i read in an article where there are two cases of racism and how the people reacted.

CASE I:

Many of us are aware of the Oprah Winfrey Show where her guest was Tommy Hilfiger. On the show, she asked him if the statements about race he
was accused of saying were true. Statements like"..."If I'd known African-Americans, Hispanics, Jewish and Asians would buy my clothes, I WOULD NOT have made them so nice. I wish these people would *NOT* buy my clothes, as they are made for upper class white people."
His answer to Oprah was a simple "YES".

Where after she immediately asked him to leave her show.

CASE II:

A White woman, about 50 years old, was seated next to a black man.
Disturbed by this, she called the air hostess. "Madam, what is the matter," the hostess asked. "You obviously do not see it then?" she responded. "You placed me next to a black man. I do not agree to sit next to someone from such a repugnant group. Give me an alternative seat."
"Be calm please," the hostess replied. "Almost all the places on this flight is taken. I will go to see if another place is available." The hostess went away and then came back a few minutes later. "Madam, Just as I thought, there are no other available seats in the economy class. I spoke to the captain and he informed me that there is a seat in first class.

Before the woman could say anything, the hostess continued:

"It is not usual for our company to permit someone from the economy class to sit in the first class. However, given the circumstances, the captain feels that it would be scandalous to make someone sit next to someone so disgusting." She turned to the black guy, and said, "Therefore, Sir, if you would like to, please collect your hand luggage, a seat awaits you in first class." At that moment, the other passengers who were shocked by what they had just witnessed, stood up and applauded.

The Both the passages had a huge impact on my mind. And this reminds me the incident where our father "Mr.Gandhi" had been thrown out of a train in south africa.

What will happen if you dont have healthy food?

2007-06-14T11:22:00.000+05:30

As everybody know that i had been to Taiwan for my official visit and came back with illness. It was because of the irregular and different food in there. Earlier that also i had a habit of irregular food structure which put my health upside down. After my return the effect from the food habits which i had in the pat 3 years started showning up in variety of forms with the lack of minerals such as Vitamins, Iron, Calcium etc., etc., it started showing up in the form of fatigue, muscle pain especially chest pain which worried me a lot, felt very tired. What are the Causes for all these alignments?

First thing came in to my mind is eating unhealthy food which i am having outside like fast foods, carbonated soft drinks, junk food, Ready to eat food for the past 4 years as i am staying alone in a single room with no kitchen available.

I was thinking about it and discussed about it with a doctor. She told Not only the food habits made all this alignments, the work schedule and the way we work also cause these troubles. The Main huge threat to our young and middle age society is " mind stress". Where we are getting all these stress? Mainly work. As we are straining our body too much with out giving adequete rest and fuel for it. Rest we can get through the relaxation of our mind and soul by various methods like exercising, book reading or by the way we feel relaxed.Fuel is nothing but the healthy food. We have to consider like this what will happen if we didnt use quality petrol and proper maintanence to our car or two wheeler? same thing to our body also. According to me Indian way of cooking is the best way of cooking in the whole world. In india cooking is mainly of Steam cooking or boiling the food. Frying of food material not only reduces the minerals present in the food but also increase the cholestral and carbon content. Both are not good for health. We need to regularise and make systematic changes to our daily routine to live a better and healthy life.

What are the changes happening in my life now?

Got in to a new room with the kitchen and started cooking myself. This way i can get healthy food as well as relaxation by enjoying the cooking experience. Started doing exercise by Fast walking in the morning, swimming in the evening. Both relaxes the mind as well as strengthening the body. I am recovering from my past mistakes. I feel happy now.

In this modern world how many people really conscious about spending money. You can easily find it through the spending nature of the people. I noticed this in my trip to taiwan, where there is very much less saving and more of spending. Government is encouraging the citizens to spend money but only their money, not by getting personal loans or any kind of loans,That way the money will always in the circulation instead of accumulating in one person. In Our country there are more black money than the white money and people hiding the money which they earn from the government by not paying tax. They simply say that i am hiding the money r saving it for the rainy day when there is a need for it. Not paying tax is not fine, but saving money for the rainy day is good. But as i said earlier in other countries where there is very little savings people are living a very good and happy life.

I am not able to understand which is good - Saving money of the Rainy day or just spending money what you earn?? Can you people out there help me???

Please Give me some Do's and Don'ts as a Travel Tips as i am travelling for the first time abroad and give me a list, what i have to buy for you in taiwan.

Funny things to Consider...(Actually Don't)

2007-02-20T20:17:00.000+05:30

* Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

* Don't worry about what people think, they don't do it very often.

* Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

* If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried before.

* My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.

* A person, who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention! It never fails.)

* For every action, there is an equal and opposite government program.

* Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of checks.

* Eat well, stay fit, die anyway.

* Men are from earth. Women are from earth. Deal with it!

* A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand.

* Middle age is when broadness of the mind and narrowness of the waist change places.

* Junk is something you've kept for years and throw away just a week before you need it.

* Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

* There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

* People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.

* You should not confuse your career with your life.

* Never lick a steak knife.

* The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.

* You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.

Thought for the day: Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.

Life is not about how hard you hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much can you take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!

When i heard this words in the movie i started realising and comparing it with my own life, Getting hit from every direction(Job, Home, Everywhere) and moving forward with the injuries we got as a experience for the better life.

Some thoughts to Everybody!! :-?

2007-02-05T12:13:00.000+05:30

1. Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.

2. Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.

3. Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless.

4. Don't let life slip through your fingers by living in the past, or living for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life.

5. Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

6. Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each other.

7. Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

8. Don't shut love out of your life by saying it is impossible to find time. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tight; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

9. Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you're going.

10. Don't forget a person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.

11. Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.

12. Don't use time, or words, carelessly. Neither can be retrieved. Life is not a race; rather, it is a journey to be savored each step of the way.

Sound Horn Please!

2007-01-31T10:11:00.000+05:30

Yesterday evening i was heading towards home from office, as everybody in bangalore knows how the traffic will be at this time of the day. My travel to home always from office to home will be of 16kms and it will take 1-1 1/2 hrs. I was in the traffic signal in the front row and waiting for the signal to clear in bangalore the minimum time for a Traffic signal waiting time will be 3 minutes and yesterday in that signal traffic SI was doing the Job and it took more time , as i have no work and hurry i was waiting quietly the people behind me got lots of patience and soon started sounding their horns. The Traffic SI came straight towards me and asked in kannada "Why are you making a noise?" I removed my helmet, as i dont know kannada i asked him again(What is the problem?), he told me "Why are u sounding Horn, cant you wait?. I said " I didn't do it. He said i saw you sounding the horn? I showed him how my horn in my bike sounds. Everybody around me laughed as my bike's horn sounded like somebody in a Death Bed ( My bike's battery got discharged so the bike's electrical unit got the hit). The Traffic SI got embarrassed and left the place he didn't come to our side of the road after that.

Do you people have any of these kind of funny encounter on road from anybody? :-w

Management Lesson - I

2007-01-24T13:41:00.000+05:30

A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A small rabbit saw the crow, and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long? The crow answered: "Sure, why not." So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested.

All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Management Learning:

To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.

Balance in Life.

Our life is full of mysteries filled with lots of Physical & Emotional activities. Joy & Sorrow, Success & Failure, Honesty & Dishonest and many more.

We see people feeling good when they experience good things happening in life and feeling low when they experience bad things in life. Everybody always wants the positive side of the happenings and doesn't want bad things to happen in life.

We need to have both. Integration of the Positive and the negative is needed, Which gives everyone the needed strength and move ahead in the future.

Nice ones to Read.

Do you ever notice that when you're driving, anyone going slower than you is an idiot and everyone driving faster than you is a maniac?

Moments in Life

2006-12-20T15:28:00.000+05:30

--There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!

--When the door of happiness closes, another opens; but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.

--Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

--The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

--The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

PS: These words are not originally mine. Just want to share it.

You are the Reason i am...

The below mentioned lyrics is from the song "The Reason" by "Hoobastank" is one of my favorite.

Link to this image

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
Thats why i need you to hear

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You.

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

Perfect Strangers in Bangalore.

2006-12-18T09:39:00.000+05:30

A Grey Color matiz which has me inside and my friends Anoop, Naveen, Anwin and Eddin was heading towards a place where more than 10,000 enthusiastic and excited crowd gathered to listen to the beats of Hush, Smoke on the water, highway star, Perfect Strangers and many more.. if you think these songs are from the band "Deep Purple" yes you are right.

Initially i was not in the mood to go to the concert as my friend Ajith didn't turned up for the concert as he is the Heavy Metal Fanatic and who made me to listen to Rock and Heavy metal songs but thanks to my others friends who made me to present in the concert and had a gr8 evening. First the Bangalore band "Galij Gurus" opened the evening with gr8 numbers then at around 8pm deep purple band with Ian Gillan - Lead Singer, Steve Morse - Lead Guitar, Roger Glover - Bass Guitar, Don Airey - Drums and Ian Paice - Keyboard started the show with " Rapture of the Deep" and it goes on. In the middle there was a guitar sequence from Steve Morse, i can say one thing about it as it was simple marvelous and awesome. And at the end Ian Paice cheered the crowd with his gr8 talent in the keyboard. And they played some more songs and the concert ends and everybody left the place with the great memories of the show.

We are seeing different kinds of people everyday throughout our life. Each person has different characteristics like somebody will be seen as a more rough, somebody be as soft, somebody be rough but acts like soft and viceversa, some others acts according to the situation. In animal kingdom also, chameleons which changes its body color according to the background and situation. So we are also like chameloens..What do you think of this phenomenon among humans??

Lion's Onsite Experience.

2006-11-29T15:18:00.000+05:30

As more and more Indian Tech savy people always dream about going abroad here is a small imagination story which i heard from a friend some time earlier.

In a poor zoo of India, a lion was frustrated as he was offered not more than 1 kg meat a day.
The lion thought its prayers were answered when one US Zoo Manager visited the zoo and requested the zoo management to shift the lion to the US Zoo. The lion was so happy and started thinking of a central A/c environment, a goat or two every day and a US Green Card also.

On its first day after arrival, the lion was offered a big bag, sealed very nicely for breakfast. The lion opened it quickly but was shocked to see that it contained few bananas. Then the lion thought that may be they cared too much for him as they were worried about his stomach as he had recently shifted from India. The next day the same thing happened. On the third day again the same food bag of bananas was delivered. The lion was so furious, it stopped the delivery boy and blasted at him, 'Don't you know I am the lion...king of the Jungle..., what's wrong with
your management?, what nonsense is this?, why are you delivering bananas to me?'
The delivery boy politely said, 'Sir, I know you are the king of the jungle but .. did you know that you have been brought here on a monkey's visa!!!

Moral of the story: Better to be a Lion in India than a Monkey elsewhere!

True Love.

2006-11-23T10:13:00.000+05:30

As teenagers we knew nothing of love and saw it just as a romantic imagination which was woven in the air with illusions and mirages. It was just an external projection, but actually love is a difficult as well as a deep word. Its core is formed by kindness, understanding and respect towards the individual.

Here its a little conversation between two young people.

Ajay and Vinay were watching the last World Cup over drinks and joints. They were particularly in a great mood as they got to catch up with each other and enjoy watching the sports they used to play when they were young. Ad commercials came as a break from the intensity of the match and they broke into a conversation.

Ajay said, “Doesn’t that model walk like Rini? Oh man! what a woman she is.”

Vinay: “Yes, she was only 21 and so sexy!”

Ajay: “How I wanted to woo her, but she fell for you. Lucky dog!”

Vinay: “But dude, she was terrific!”

Ajay: “Yes, 34-26-34!”

Vinay: “But why didn’t anyone of us want to marry her?”

Ajay stubbed his cigarette, stretched his leg, pulled his collar and said, “No, my friend, a wife should be different. That was not love. Love is something totally different.”

Vinay: “But we always felt that love is all about sexy figure, a good looking face that makes the temperature rise.”

Ajay: “Such women aren’t made for serious relationships. One needs a wife for life. And that commitment only comes from a woman who is homebound and dedicated to the family. We can’t handle women who are like fireflies. We can’t handle tension at home. Home should be a place where you can relax. Only a family woman can offer you all that.”

According to me that’s love: Emotional comfort or True Love

Helmet Rule for Two Wheelers in Bangalore.

2006-11-08T10:33:00.000+05:30

Finally, after two years of stuggle by the government of karnataka they implemented the compulsory helmet rule for the two wheelers espescially in bangalore from November 1 2006. But the rule starts effectively from 6th onwards as the police give time for the commuters to buy their own helmets if they dont have. Yesterday that means Nov 7th in the bangalore alone some around 3,400 people are charged for not wearing the helmets each are fined 100 rs each. So yesterday alone by the helmet penalty government earned Rs. 3 ,40,000/- One among the person who was charged for not wearing the helmet was a Police Sub inspector.

Is helmet really helpful for the people?

Yes, i saves the life when the two wheeler person met with an accident and avoids head injury which is the most common among the road accidents.

But in hyderabad college going girls have different argument.

For them it spoils the hair looks. As they are spending large amount of money to take care of their hairs. So they are not even bothered about the helmet rule. Simple they pay the fine and escapes. I saw that in NDTV news channel some time ago. So everyday if they 100rs. think about monthly and annually. Oops thats quite a lot of money.

What you people of thinking about wearing helmet while riding a two wheeler???

Money spending nature of Indians

2006-11-07T15:41:00.000+05:30

Earlier days people thought of future in mind and keep saving money in many forms like Saving Bank, Fixed deposit or even investing in buying land. They worried about the future, as there are more uncertainity in the future. That is true as we humans dont know what will happen in the future. But now a days that trend is gradually loosing its shape as we people are spending money in lots of other activities apart from necessity.Last Month my friend told me that he wants to buy a handycam and we put a budget of rs. 20,000 and we went to e-zone, koramangla, Bangalore. We saw the entry level models as we decided to buy that earler. so we choosed one model from JVC which cost 19,000. we are happy then suddenly there was another model from JVC which cost 40,000 came in the picture and we lost control and finally we purchased that. More importantly that we purchased the camera in credit card. As now a days credit card companies are sucking our money through schemes like EMI. My friend told me that he can put EMI for 20 months so that i will be paid off. This is just a example, this is what happening in india thanks to the IT boom. People lost control of everything.

When i earn 6,000 rs per month and i spend it through the month along after 25th of everymonth there will be a shortage. The same thing is happening when a person is earning 60,000rs per month.

How many people are really saving money now a days??????

Capital Punishment really worthy in india

2006-10-31T16:41:00.000+05:30

Is capital Punishment given to criminals really worthy in india??

Capital Punishments (Death penalty) are given to the people who commits very serious criminal mistakes, so that it is an example and lesson to others who are intended to do like that.

As there are death penalty has been awarded to many people before and even some criminals are executed in the punishment.

But what happens actually???

Yesterday Delhi High court gave a verdict on a rape case that was happened in 1996 that is almost 10 years back. Earlier the same case was taken in the sessions court but the accused was left free due to influential background play. But after the media and true citizens of india step in to act and again the case was taken in the high court and the death sentence was awarded to the convict.

What will happen after this? In my opinion the convict will be put in jail till the day he has to be hanged. Before the actual date the week before the family members and the convict himself file a mercy petition to the president. As the decision from the president gets delaying the convict canot be hanged before that. So he is allowed to live in this world even after the punishment is awarded.

That is the same thing happened in the Afzal the person who is the master mind behind the parliment attack, indian police and law is not able to execute the capital punishment even though he is awarded one. His mercy petition is still under verification with the government.

There are many case like this who escaped from the law due to loop holes. And there are many cases where the judgment has to be given and yet it is pending for a very long time.

Where india is moving?

Funny one but happens some where in the world..

if our kid asks him what inflation is, our answer would be:

Inflation is when I pay fifteen dollars for the ten-dollar haircut, I used to get for five dollars when I had hair.

If inflation continues to soar, you're going to have to work like a dog just to live like one.

if our kid ask us why do you go to work, our response would be:

Every day I get up and look through the Forbes list of the richest people in America. If I'm not there, I go to work.

Career Risk

2006-10-17T09:49:00.000+05:30

As we climb the corporate ladder, everyone must have faced branching roads. 1 road to enriching technical skillset, 1 road to managing people, 1 road to generate business and many many roads which are less travelled.

All you have to do is choose. That's the tough part.
2 things to note here - common questions which comes across everyone's mind.
1) Q: Why do we need to choose? - Ans: For a better living of ourselves and for others
2) Q: Will the choice be correct? - Ans: You never know until you travel midway in the road. This is called Risk.

--> People who do not wish to take risk can proceed - Take life as it comes. Trust the almighty - be happy

--> People who know what they are capable of, how much competent they are in the IT industry - They make their own paths, they not only help themselves, they help many others also. - be happy and make others also happy (Like my good friend Anoop..)

Shale Oil in india

2006-10-12T10:05:00.000+05:30

Shale Oil is the form of oil not in the liquid state but in the solid state. As everybody knew about the formation of the fossil fuels, when the dead materials like wood and many others decay for a million of years if forms the fossil fuels like coal, oil and many other minerals. In the process of transformation of the coal in to oil comes the one more product called shale oil. As this shale oils is not similiar to the oil which is currently available, As it is present in the solid state it requires different technology to extract it. The technology is available now but when extracting the oil from shale oil the rock is crushed in to powder and heated in an extreme high temperature and then it has to cooled down by pouring lots of water over it. Shale is present all over the world. The Main countries which are having the reserves of shale oil are America, Australia, India, Thailand and many others. India is having good amount of shale oil reserves estimated 14 billion tonnes which is only second to US which is having 60 billion tonnes. In india shale oil is present in Assam and Arunchal pradesh shale and coal fields. As this extracting if oil requiries lots of water assam is blessed with lots of water with the river bramaputra. As the estimated quantity of shale oil in india is 14 billion tonnes and in the current requirement calculations this oil can be extracted for morethan 100 years, and india can become a member of OPEC.

LIFE???

2005-08-29T15:00:00.000+05:30

LIFE-What does it mean?? Is it the way that every human being in this world is living or want to live??

I got a SMS some time back and i want to share it..

"Somebody once asked GOD ,What suprises you most about mankind?.God replied.. they lose their health to make money and then lose their money to restore their health. By thinking anxiously about the future they forgot the present..such that they live neither for the present nor for the future."

Every human being in this world especialy indians are going through different stages whether they want or not like.

Here i am going to tell how a male transformed through out his life as i am male.

When the child is born till he complete his college life he has to live according to the likes and dislikes of his parents.(say 0.1 to 21yrs).

Next stage is the bacheorhood:When he finishes his studies he has to choose his livings whether he wants or not.that means job.So at this point of time only a man started to think about his own life. When he started to live for himself there will lot of distractions either in the form of siblings who want his attention over them or girlfriend who occupies his whole time for her entertainment.So here again a person is not able to live for himself.

Next stage Marriage: Between 25-30 yrs of age almost every person in india is tend to tie with a girl either of his choice r by parents (simply termed as attempt sucide or planned murder).After this he has to life for the others like wife and children.

He realise and find the true life when he is in the second childhood at that point of time he can not decide abything by himself.

PS: Am also a victim for this cycle of life.

Is this the way that business all working?

For the children not by the children!!!

2005-08-17T18:51:00.000+05:30

Hai. I am a good lover of firecrackers as the festival of lights(Diwali) are fast approaching in this one of the biggest event is to burst fire crackers. As its been enjoyed by both kids as well as adults. But now a days this percentage is being shrinking due to many reasons like rules being imposed over the bursting of crackers
1) Time limit.
2) Decibel level of the fire cracker.
More than this some schools and misionaries are doing some activities among the children not to burst crackers in the festivel time as they are telling fire crackers are manufactured by children. By doing this i dont know what they are achieving, one thing i can tell they are destroying the hope of the families who are totally relay on this work. there are around one lakh people who are directly or indirectly involving in the industry for their livelihood. Here i want to tell about sivakasi where 95% of the total fire cracker is being produced. there are around 200 fireworks factories and 350 match works most of the people living here rely on this industry and printing industry which is also rely on this.
Sometimes back there is a controversy in the region that children are involving in the manufacturing of the crackers. I agree to that because there are some incidents which related to the child labouring happened. But now the things have changed now every fireworks are checked frequently to ensure that children are not involving in the manufacturing of crackers. But still the child labour is becoming a major issue in blacking out the sale of the cracker.

Let buy cracker and enjoy it!...
