Logical Fun Stuff - 2 Donkeys living together

2009-01-07T23:50:00.002+05:30

Brilliant Logics....

Real life algebra.....

Equation 1

Human = eat + sleep + work + enjoy
Donkey = eat + sleep

Therefore,
Human = Donkey + work + enjoy
Therefore,
Human - enjoy = Donkey + work

In other words,
Human that doesn't know to enjoy = Donkey that works
============ ========= ========= ========= ========= ===
Equation 2

Men = eat + sleep + earn money
Donkeys = eat + sleep
Therefore,
Men = Donkeys + earn money

Therefore,
Men - earn money = Donkeys

In other words,
Men that don't earn money = Donkeys
============ ========= ========= ========= ========= ====
Equation 3
Women = eat + sleep + spend
Donkeys = eat + sleep

Therefore,
Women = Donkeys + spend
Therefore,
Women - spend = Donkeys

In other words,
Women that don't spend = Donkeys
============ ========= ========= ========= ========= =====

To Conclude:

From Equation 2 and Equation 3:
Men that don't earn money = Women that don't spend.

So, Men earn money not to let women become Donkeys! (Postulate 1) *

And, Women spend not to let men become Donkeys! (Postulate 2) *

So, we have;
Men + Women = Donkeys + earn money + Donkeys + spend money

Therefore from Postulates 1 and 2, we can conclude,

Man + Woman = 2 Donkeys that live happily together!!

2009 Mazda 6 - looking very sporty

2008-12-31T00:20:00.000+05:30

The next version of the best and most luxury family cars in the Ford Motor Company is the recently designed “the 2009 Mazda 6” has been tested in the

United States

The Mazda6 is available in two basic trim levels Mazda6i and Mazda6 in the US. The Mazda6i is available in SV, Sport, Touring and Grand Touring trim levels while the Mazda6 s is available in Sport, Touring and Grand Touring trim levels.

The interior of the Mazda6 is meant for its luxury and it will be given a hearty welcome. When compared with the previous model, the primary gauges are back lit with an orange glow over black dials. Bright brushed metallic finishes accent the dials and steering wheel. The screen is mounted at such an angle that gives us a complete road clearance.

Honda CRZ Hybrid 2011

2008-12-31T00:15:00.000+05:30

The most awaited next-generation lightweight sports car equipped with a Honda petrol-electric hybrid system. Honda CR-Z Hybrid is expected to be released by 2011 in the US, since the design team for the Honda CR Z Hybrid is based in Europe and hence the car's release in European countries is expected much earlier by 2010 with the addition of Honda’s updated Integrated Motor Assist hybrid, to push the fuel efficiency to the next level.

The CR-Z Hybrid is expected to be an anchor for Honda’s European line. Specifically, Honda’s UK branch is handling design, while engineering and testing are taking place at Offenbach in Germany.CR-Z itself is a replacement for the popular CR X which was out of the market recently.

The interior of CR-Z is meant for its unimaginable luxury, Honda tried to combine modern high-tech with classic sporty design. The result includes an interesting mesh material on all fabric surfaces, and a lot of LED displays. The whole effect is both futuristic and funky.Hopefully, Honda won’t leave us guessing much longer.

“The fact that we will be producing cars like this – and the global hybrid – proves that hybrid cars are becoming key volume products within our range. All of this means that Honda will be selling over 1/4 million hybrids a year by 2009"

Who Owns the media in India ? Very Interesting Article

2008-12-28T15:30:00.002+05:30

*VERY INTERESTING ARTICLE....*
*
Who owns the media in India ?*

Let us see the ownership of different media agencies.
*
NDTV*: A very popular TV news media is funded by Gospels of Charity in Spain Communism. Recently it has developed a soft corner towards
Pakistan because Pakistan President has allowed only this channel to be
aired in
Pakistan . Indian CEO Prannoy Roy is co-brother of Prakash Karat, General
Secretary of the Communist party of India . His wife and Brinda Karat are
sisters.

*
India Today**:* which used to be the only national weekly which
supported BJP
is now bought by NDTV!! Since then the tone has changed drastically and
turned into Hindu bashing.

*
CNN-IBN:* This is 100 percent funded by Southern Baptist Church with its
branches in all over the world with HQ in US.. The Church annually
allocates $800 million for promotion of its channel. Its
Indian head is
Rajdeep
Sardesai and his wife Sagarika Ghosh.
*
Times group list:*

Times Of India, Mid-Day, Nav-Bharth Times, Femina, Filmfare,
Vijaya Karnataka, Times now (24- hour news channel) and many more...

Times Group is owned by Bennett & Coleman. 'World Christian Council does 80
percent of the Funding, and an Englishman and an Italian equally share
balance 20 percent. The Italian Robertio Mindo is a close relative of
Sonia Gandhi.

*Star TV:* It is run by an Australian, who is supported by St. Peters
Pontifical Church Melbourne.
*
Hindustan Times:* Owned by Birla Group, but hands have changed since
Shobana Bhartiya took over. Presently it is working in Collaboration
with Times Group.
*
The Hindu:* English daily, started over 125 years has been recently
taken over by Joshua Society, Berne , Switzerland .. N. Ram's wife is a
Swiss national.
*
Indian Express:*
Divided into two groups. The Indian Express and the New
Indian
Express (southern edition) ACTS Christian Ministries have major stake in
the Indian Express and latter is still with the Indian counterpart.
*
The Statesman:* It is controlled by Communist Party of India.
*
Asian Age and Deccan Chronicle:* Is owned by a Saudi Arabian Company
with its chief Editor M.J. Akbar.

Gujarat riots which took place in 2002 where Hindus were burnt alive,

Rajdeep Sardesai and Bharkha Dutt working for NDTV at that time got
around 5 Million Dollars from Saudi Arabia to cover only Muslim victims,
which they did very faithfully... Not a single Hindu family was
interviewed or shown on TV whose near and dear ones had been burnt
alive, it is reported.

Tarun Tejpal of < <_http://tehelka.com/>Tehelka.com_
3eTehelka.com> regularly gets blank
cheques from Arab countries to target BJP and Hindus only, it is said.

The ownership explains the control of media in India by foreigners. The
result is obvious.

PONDER OVER THIS. NOW YOU KNOW WHY EVERY ONE IS AGAINST TRUTH, HOW VERY SAD.

ONE BEDROOM FLAT WRITTEN BY AN INDIAN ENGINEER..

2008-12-22T16:21:00.001+05:30

A Bitter Reality

As the dream of most parents I had acquired a degree in
Software Engineering and joined a company based in USA, the
land of braves and opportunity. When I arrived in the USA, it
was as if a dream had come true..

Here at last I was in the place where I want to be. I decided I
would be staying in this country for about Five years in which
time I would have earned enough money to settle down in India.

My father was a government employee and after his retirement,
the only asset he could acquire was a decent one bedroom flat.

I wanted to do some thing more than him. I started feeling
homesick and lonely as the time passed. I used to call home and
speak to my parents every week using cheap international phone
cards. Two years passed, two years of Burgers at McDonald's and
pizzas and discos and 2 years watching the foreign exchange
rate getting happy whenever the Rupee value went down.

Finally I decided to get married. Told my parents that I have
only 10 days of holidays and everything must be done within
these 10 days. I got my ticket booked in the cheapest flight.
Was jubilant and was actually enjoying hopping for gifts for
all my friends back home. If I miss anyone then there will be
talks. After reaching home I spent home one week going through
all the photographs of girls and as the time was getting
shorter I was forced to select one candidate.

In-laws told me, to my surprise, that I would have to get
married in 2-3 days, as I will not get anymore holidays. After
the marriage, it was time to return to USA, after giving some
money to my parents and telling the neighbors to look after
them, we returned to USA.

My wife enjoyed this country for about two months and then she
started feeling lonely. The frequency of calling India
increased to twice in a week sometimes 3 times a week. Our
savings started diminishing.

After two more years we started to
have kids. Two lovely kids, a boy and a girl, were gifted to us
by the almighty. Every time I spoke to my parents, they asked
me to come to Indiaso that they can see their grand-children.

Every year I decide to go to India… But part work part
monetary conditions prevented it. Years went by and visiting
Indiawas a distant dream. Then suddenly one day I got a
message that my parents were seriously sick. I tried but I
couldn't get any holidays and thus could not go to India ... The
next message I got was my parents had passed away and as there
was no one to do the last rights the society members had done
whatever they could. I was depressed. My parents had passed
away without seeing their grand children.

After couple more years passed away, much to my children's
dislike and my wife's joy we returned to Indiato settle down.
I started to look for a suitable property, but to my dismay my
savings were short and the property prices had gone up during
all these years. I had to return to the USA...

My wife refused to come back with me and my children refused to
stay in India...... My 2 children and I returned to USAafter
promising my wife I would be back for good after two years.

Time passed by, my daughter decided to get married to an
American and my son was happy living in USA.... I decided that
had enough and wound-up every thing and returned to India... I
had just enough money to buy a decent 02 bedroom flat in a
well-developed locality.

Now I am 60 years old and the only time I go out of the flat is
for the routine visit to the nearby temple. My faithful wife
has also left me and gone to the holy abode.

Sometimes

I wondered was it worth all this?

My father, even after staying in India,

Had a house to his name and I too have
the same nothing more.

I lost my parents and children for just ONE EXTRA BEDROOM.

Looking out from the window I see a lot of children dancing.
This damned cable TV has spoiled our new generation and these
children are losing their values and culture because of it. I
get occasional cards from my children asking I am alright. Well
at least they remember me.

Now perhaps after I die it will be the neighbors again who will
be performing my last rights, God Bless them.

But the question
still
remains 'was all this worth it?'

I am still searching for an answer.................!!!

START THINKING

IS IT JUST FOR ONE EXTRA BEDROOM???

LIFE IS BEYOND THIS …..DON'T JUST LEAVE YOUR LIFE ……..
START LIVING IT …….
LIVE IT AS YOU WANT IT TO BE …….

Tribute, plz dont break the chain

The Passbook of Happiness...

2008-12-21T18:01:00.002+05:30

Monica married Hitesh this day. At the end of the wedding party, Monica's mother gave her a newly opened bank saving passbook. With Rs.1000 deposit amount.
Mother: 'Monica, take this passbook. Keep it as a record of your marriage life. When there's something happy and memorable happened in your new life, put some money in. Write down what it's about next to the line.

The more memorable the event is, the more money you can put in. I've done the first one for you today. Do the others with Hitesh.When you look back after years, you can know how much happiness you've had.'

Monica shared this with Hitesh when getting home. They both thought it was a great idea and were anxious to know when the second deposit can be made.

This was what they did after certain time:
- 7 Feb: Rs.100, first birthday celebration for Hitesh after marriage
- 1 Mar: Rs.300, salary raise for Monica
- 20 Mar: Rs.200, vacation trip to Bali
- 15 Apr: Rs.2000, Monica got pregnant
- 1 Jun: Rs.1000, Hitesh got promoted
..... and so on...
However, after years, they started fighting and arguing for trivial things.They didn't talk much. They regretted that they had married the most nasty people in the world.... no more love...Kind of typical nowadays, huh?

One day Monica talked to her Mother:
'Mom, we can't stand it anymore. We agree to divorce. I can't imagine how I decided to marry this guy!!!'
Mother: 'Sure, girl, that's no big deal. Just do whatever you want if you really can't stand it. But before that, do one thing first. Remember the saving passbook I gave you on your wedding day? Take out all money and spend it first. You shouldn't keep any record of such a poor marriage.'

Monica thought it was true. So she went to the bank, waiting at the queue and planning to cancel the account.
While she was waiting, she took a look at the passbook record. She looked, and looked, and looked. Then the memory of all the previous joy and happiness just came up her mind. Her eyes were then filled with tears. She left and went home.

When she was home, she handed the passbook to Hitesh, asked him to spend the money before getting divorce.
The next day, Hitesh gave the passbook back to Monica. She found a new deposit of Rs.5000.
And a line next to the record: 'This is the day I notice how much I've loved you thru out all these years. How much happiness you've brought me.'

They hugged and cried, putting the passbook back to the safe.
I don't know how much they saved .I believe the money did not matter any more after they had gone thru all the good years in their life.

How to stop cough in 5 minutes

2008-12-21T17:52:00.003+05:30

This is a must try....
We have all been kept awake by our own or someone else's cough. Try this and pass it on. The tip, and not the cough.!! ;)

ANYTHING is better than antibiotics. Even babies could benefit from this and the parents wouldn't worry about the safety of their child. And of course, it is harmless and free from any type of side-effects.
WOW! I was raised, and raised my kids with Vicks. How come I never knew this? I can't wait for my next cough. Amazing!
READ IT ALL. It works 100 percent of the time, although the scientists at the Canada Research council (who discovered it) aren't sure why.

Treatment:
To stop night time coughing in a child (or an adult, as we found out personally), put Vicks Vapor Rub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime and then cover with socks.

Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about five minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief. This works 100 percent of the time, and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly. I heard the head of the Canada Research Council describe these findings on the part of their scientists when they were investigating the effectiveness and usage of prescription cough medicines in children, as compared to alternative therapies like acupressure. I just happened to tune in to a.m. Radio and picked up this guy talking about why cough medicines in kids often do more harm than good due to the chemical makeup of these strong drugs, so I listened. It was a surprising finding and found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bedtime, and in addition to have a soothing and calming effect on sick children who then went on to sleep soundly.

My friend tried it on herself when she had a very deep constant and persistent cough a few weeks ago, and it worked 100 percent! She said it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her. The coughing stopped in a few minutes, and believe me this was a deep (incredibly annoying!) every few seconds, uncontrollable cough and she slept cough-free for hours every night she used it.

If you have children or grandchildren, pass it on. If you end up sick, try it yourself and you will be absolutely amazed.

How to stop cough in 5 minutes!!! This is a must try...

Ashif and Habib are beggars.

They beg in different areas of London.

Habib begs just as long as Ashif but only collects £2 to £3 every day.

However, Ashif brings home a suitcase FULL of £10 notes.

He drives a Mercedes, lives in a mortgage-free house and has a lot of money to spend.

A puzzled Habib asks Ashif 'I work just as long and hard as you do but how do you bring home a suitcase full of £10 notes every day?'

Ashif says, 'Look at your sign, what does it say'?
Habib's sign reads 'I have no work, a wife and 6 kids to support'.

Ashif says 'No wonder you only get £2- £3!!'

Habib says... 'So what does your sign say'?

Ashif shows Habib his sign....

It reads, 'I only need another £10 to move back to Pakistan '.

Laptop Battery Care

2008-12-20T17:49:00.001+05:30

The bane of most laptop users is the lack of a really long battery life.
There are three main types of laptop batteries:

a.. Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cd)
b.. Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH)
c.. Lithium Ion (Li-ion).

Nickel-Cadmium
This type of battery must be fully discharged and then fully recharged every
few weeks. If you don't do this, it will quickly lose battery life due to
what is known as the `memory effect'.

The memory effect means if you don't follow the above procedure, your
battery will only charge up to the percentage of the last charge. For
instance, if you discharge it to 30 per cent, it will only charge up the
remaining 70 per cent. Do this repeatedly, and the 30 per cent will become
unusable, giving you an effective 70 percent charge even though the
indicator will still show a 100 per cent charge each time you charge it.

Nickel Metal Hydride
Ni-MH batteries are similar to Ni-Cd batteri es, although they are less
susceptible to the memory effect. They also have a higher capacity.

Lithium Ion
These are the latest type of batteries, and have no real problems as far as
the memory effect is concerned. The problem with these is that they lose
their effectiveness if overcharged or left for a long time with a full
charge. Always discharge these batteries if you're going to be storing them
away.

Keep Your Battery Healthy
a.. Before the first use, charge the batteries for 12 hours or the minimum
charge time, as mentioned in the manual.
b.. For daily use, charge the battery to capacity, then run the laptop on
battery power until it is completely drained (for Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries,
this prevents the memory effect) or almost drained. (For Li-ion batteries,
this can help prevent overcharging).
c.. Don't leave your battery unused for long periods of time. Even if yo u
use AC power most of the time, use the battery regularly to keep it in good
condition. Switch off your AC adapter when the laptop is not in use. This
prevents overcharging.
To extend battery life, you can try decreasing the LCD brightness while
using your notebook. You can activate the `Standby' and `Hibernation'
power saving modes, too, for better battery life.

"SPEND MORE & SAVE LESS" - An interesting article on USA's spending

2008-12-20T17:39:00.001+05:30

"An interesting article on USA's spending", written by an Indian Economist:

Japanese save a lot. They do not spend much. Also Japan exports far more than it imports. Has an annual trade surplus of over $100 billions. Yet Japanese economy is considered weak, even collapsing. Americans spend, save little. Also US imports more than it exports. Has an annual trade deficit of over $400 billion. Yet, the American economy is considered strong and trusted to get stronger. But where from do Americans get money to spend? They borrow from Japan, China and even India. Virtually others save for the US to spend. Global savings are mostly invested in US, in dollars. India itself keeps its foreign currency assets of over $50 billions in US securities. China has sunk over $160 billion in US securities. Japan's stakes in US securities is in trillions.

Result:

The US has taken over $5 trillion from the world. So, as the world saves for the US, Americans spend freely. Today, to keep the US consumption going, that is for the US economy to work, other countries have to remit $180 billion every quarter, which is $2 billion a day, to the US! Otherwise the US economy would go for a six. So will the global economy.The result will be no different if US consumers begin consuming less. A Chinese economist asked a neat question. Who has invested more, US in China, or China in US?The US has invested in China less than half of what China has invested in US. The same is the case with India. We have invested in US over $50 billion. But the US has invested less than $20 billion in India.

Why the world is after US?

The secret lies in the American spending, that they hardly save. In fact they use their credit cards to spend their future income. That the US spends is what makes it attractive to export to the US. So US imports more than what it exports year after year.

The Result:

The world is dependent on US consumption for its growth. By its deepening culture of consumption, the US has habituated the world to feed on US consumption. But as the US needs money to finance its consumption, the world provides the money. It's like a shopkeeper providing the money to a customer so that the customer keeps buying from the shop. If the customer will not buy, the shop won't have business, unless the shopkeeper funds him. The US is like the lucky customer. And the world is like the helpless shopkeeper financier.

Who is America's biggest shopkeeper financier? Japan of course.Yet it's Japan which is regarded as weak. Modern economists complain that Japanese do not spend, so they do not grow. To force the Japanese to spend, the Japanese government exerted it self, reduced the savings rates, even charged the savers. Even then the Japanese did not spend (habits don't change, even with taxes, do they?). Their traditional postal savings alone is over$1.2 trillions, about three times the Indian GDP. Thus, savings, far from being the strength of Japan, has become its pain.

Hence, what is the lesson?

That is, a nation cannot grow unless the people spend, not save. Not just spend, but borrow and spend. Dr. Jagdish Bhagwati, the famous Indian-born economist in the US, told Manmohan Singh that Indians wastefully save. Ask them to spend, on imported cars and, seriously, even on cosmetics! This will put India on a growth curve. "Saving is sin, and spending is virtue." Before you follow this neo economics, get some fools to save so that you can borrow from them and spend...

OPEN THE WINDOWS AFTER YOU ENTER YOUR CAR

2008-12-20T17:37:00.001+05:30

According to research done by a University of California, the car dashboard, seats, air freshener will emit Benzene, a cancer-causing toxin (carcinogen). In addition to causing cancer, it poisons your bones, causes, anemia, and reduces white blood cells. Prolonged exposure will cause Leukemia, increasing the risk of cancer. It may also cause miscarriage. Acceptable Benzene level indoors is 50 mg per sq. ft.

A car parked indoors with the windows closed will contain 400-800 mg of Benzene. If parked outdoors under the sun at a temperature above 60 degrees F, the Benzene level goes up to 2,000-4,000 mg, 40 times the acceptable level. The people inside the car will inevitably inhale an excessive amount of toxins. It is recommended that you open the windows and doors to give time for the interior to air out before you enter. Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidney and liver, and is difficult for your body to expel.

If you don't have car.. then cheers…. No probs

Car Jackers (NOT A JOKE)

2008-12-20T17:34:00.002+05:30

WARNING FROM POLICE

BEWARE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE--NEW WAY TO DO CARJACKINGS (NOT A JOKE)'

Heads up everyone! Please, keep this circulating... You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside. You start the engine and shift into Reverse. When you look into the rear-view mirror to back out of your parking space, you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window. So, you shift into Park unlock your doors, and jump out of your car to remove that paper (or whatever it is that is obstructing your view. When you reach the back of your car that is when the carjackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off. They practically mow you down as they speed off in your car. And guess what? I bet your purse is still in the car. So now the carjacker has your car, your home address, your money, and your keys. Your home and your whole identity are now compromised!

BEWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED.

If you see a piece of paper stuck to your back window, just drive away. Remove the paper later. And be thankful that you read this e-mail. I hope you will forward this to friends and family, especially to women. A purse contains all kinds of personal information and identification documents, and you certainly do NOT want this to fall into the wrong hands.
