10 Signs Your Relationship Will End Badly

2011-03-14T10:47:00.000-07:00

Have you ever gotten dumped and then thought, ‘I should have seen it coming.’ Often times there are tell-tale signs that your relationship will end badly. Here are some of those signs to watch for.

   1. Your partner has always been the one to leave a relationship. If your partner has never been dumped by someone else, if they were always the one to break off previous relationships, then you can be pretty certain that your relationship will end in a similar way. Don’t expect long term commitment from this person.

   2. Your partner continues to talk about their previous partner. If your partner is always talking about their previous partner, even if it’s in a negative way, then that other person is obviously still on their mind in a big way. Chances are that they’ll get back together with them if they are given the opportunity. At the very least, you are only a secondary option in their mind.

   3. Your partner treats you with disrespect in public. Do they ridicule you in front of others? Do they reveal personal things about you to their friends? Do they ignore you at parties but give plenty of attention to other girls/guys that are there? This is a relationship that isn’t worth hanging on to and you will be better off the sooner it ends.

   4. You find out they cheated on you the first month your were together. If they were cheating on you at the beginning, then they probably still are and will continue to do so. They will either leave you for someone else or hurt you enough times that you’ll finally end it yourself.

   5. You continually catch them lying. Are they continually lying about where they were or who they were with? This is a big neon sign that a relationship with this person is going to be one of broken trust. The future is certain to bring heartbreak.

   6. You have very little in common. At the beginning of a new romance, your differences can seem insignificant, but overtime, a lack of common interests can take a toll on a relationship. You will find it hard to enjoy your times together when one of you isn’t enjoying the activities that the other does. Eventually you’ll both want to go back to doing the things you enjoy and not what the other person enjoys.

   7. They don’t like your friends. How can a person be in love with you and not like the people that you like to hang with? Common sense will tell you that if they don’t like the people you like, eventually they’ll decide that they don’t like you either.

   8. They are continually asking to borrow money. This is a big warning sign that you should not ignore. Once or twice, not a big deal, but if your partner, male or female, is always asking to borrow money from you, there’s a problem. If they get mad when you say no, then it’s time for you to head down the road in another direction. Financial dependence is a terrible basis for a relationship.

   9. They are married to someone else. Yes, there are situations where a married person divorces their spouse and marries the ‘other person,’ but it is the exception rather than the rule. If you are in a relationship with someone who is already married to someone else, you are setting yourself up for heartache

10. They don’t want you to meet their family. Don’t shrug this one off. When your partner doesn’t want you to meet their family there is usually a reason. The reason may be because they don’t want you to see what their family is like. No matter how wonderful the person may seem, if you are wanting a long term relationship with them, their family will come into play in that relationship.

Why prolong a relationship that has all the signs of leading to heartbreak? If you see the signs, the sooner you bring it to an end the better, for both you and them.

In Love, pain is blessing

2011-03-05T07:02:00.000-08:00

Love is painful, but the pain is certainly a blessing. Love is painful because love brings growth. Love demands, transforms and is painful because love gives you a new birth.

Love brings your heart into relationship -- and when the heart is in relationship there is always pain. If you avoid the pain, you will miss all pleasures of life. With love you become human; you stand erect on earth. With love you are vertical.

With love are problems. But with problems is growth -- the greater the problem, the greater the opportunity. More and more pain, too.

That's why many people never love -- it is so painful. They never become vertical.

Love never shatters you completely. It simply shatters you a little, a little bit. It shatters the crust of your ego, but the centre of the ego remains intact. Then there is a deeper pain, deeper than love, and that is of prayer -- it shatters you utterly. It is death. When you have learnt how to love, and you have learnt that the pain that love brings is a blessing in disguise, it is beautiful, then you become able and you take another step -- that step is prayer.

All lovers feel a little miserable. They would like to disappear completely, but it is not possible in human relationships. Human relationship is limited. But one learns from it, that there is a possibility: if it can happen so much in a human relationship, how much more can happen in a relationship with the Divine?

Love makes you ready to take the final jump, the quantum leap. That's what I call prayer, or you can call it meditation. You have to disappear for existence to be. Love is a training ground, a school, to learn first lessons -- of the beauty, of the blessing and benediction of disappearance; to learn that pain is blessed.

So when you are in love, or when love arises, cooperate with it, don't try resisting. People come to a compromise. The basic problem that I have been looking at is that lovers by and by come to a compromise. The compromise is: You don't hurt me, I will not hurt you. That's what marriage is. Then people become settled. They become so afraid of pain that they say, "Don't hurt me and I will not hurt you." But then when pain disappears, love also disappears. They exist together.

When you are in love, love hurts. It hurts terribly.

But never resist, never create any barrier for pain. Allow it. And by and by you will see that it was a wrong interpretation. It is not really pain. It is just that something is going so deep in you that you interpret it like a pain. You don't know anything else. You are only aware of pain in your past life, in your past experience. Whenever something penetrates deep, you interpret it as pain.

Don't use the word 'pain'. When love and love's arrow goes deep into your heart, close your eyes and don't use words -- just see what it is, and you will never see it is pain. You will see it is a benediction. You will be tremendously moved by it. You will feel joyous.

Don't use words. When something new happens to you, always allow a deep look into it without any language.

27-DAY STRIKE IN HILLS WITH SOME BREAKS

2011-01-16T10:32:00.000-08:00

Kalimpong News : Following the publication of a report on the situation in Andhra Pradesh formed to examine the situation in the State of Andhra Pradesh with reference to the demand for a separate State of Telangana as well as the demand for maintaining the present status of a united Andhra Pradesh by Srikrishna Committee a Committee for consultation on the situation in Andhra Pradesh, GJMM has called a series of strikes starting with 96 hrs strike from 12th January to 15th January.

Gorkha Janmukti Morcha, the main political organisation of Darjeeling hills spearheading the demand of Gorkhaland, has welcomed the report and announced that to protest the stepmotherly treatment of the concerned govt towards the Gorkhas it has declared a series of strikes to intensify its movement.

The 96 hours long bundh in the proposed Gorkhaland area with effect from the 12th of January will be followed by similar kind of bundh from 18 to 25 January and 29 January to 12 February, 2011. Party has further announced to organise fast-unto-death immediately from 16th February to be participated by Bimal Gurung and Roshan Giri and other 1st line leaders like Presidents and Secretaries of Sub Divisional Committees if its demand to create a separate state of Gorkhaland is not considered by the govt.

Observers feel that the decision of the GJM has put a question mark on the proposed interim set-up which the party has been bargaining till date with the govt. They also view that the Srikrishna Committee report would definitely add more fuel to the fire in other parts of the country where similar kind of demands are being raised by the different outfits.

Back home, the hill people have started to change their scheduled programmes in view of the proposed bundhs.

Appetite whetted, Morcha piles heat for statehood committee.

What is so special of the North East girls?

2011-01-16T08:40:00.000-08:00

North-East Girls

What is so special of the North East girls? We need to find out the motives of the Delhi people or other Indian's mindset that leads to frequent eve-teasing, molestation and rape of our girls?

"North East girls are very beautiful", said one of the Editors of a premier fashion and modeling magazine based in National Capital Region (NCR). "Their skins are flawless...they are little angels, we need new faces from these regions." I got this remark while working for a Fashion magazine as Executive Editor. Today, I am quoting his words in the backdrop of the recent molestation and harassment of North East girls by their landlord.

The tragic incident in the early hours of December 13, 2008 where the landlord knocked at the door of a rented room at Sikandrapur, DLF Phase-I in Gurgaon is another crime meted out to our girls in Delhi and its adjoining areas. The two girls had come to Gurgaon on December 11 in search of a suitable job. In the very week of the International Human Rights Day, our girls are humiliated and discriminated. And the law of the country is protecting the culprits, as usual.

According to a reliable source from the New Delhi-based North East Support Centre and Helpline (NESCH), the two girls were sleeping when at around 2.30 a.m. on December 13, their landlord knocked the door. The girls had suspected his attention and refused to open their door. The consequences was not good, he repeatedly barged the door, abusing them for the delay in letting him in. Frightened and hapless, the girls had pleaded for mercy. They even requested to meet them in the morning. The landlord was adamant to sneak into their room. The girls tried to call SOS of Police, which did not work out. Later they raised an alarm for a Manipuri friend, who also stays in the same locality. When they came to rescue the girls, the landlord and his gangs had beaten them and chased away. Thereafter, the two girls were tortured, abused, and molested. They were confined to secluded room and even threatened to rape them. All their belongings were looted- money, cloths and camera.

The event should not be taken lightly. We should pledge this one to be the last incidence of crime against our girls. We need to unite and come together to protect ourselves. Integrity and unity is the answer now. The north east states of India are divided into different communities and sub-castes, may be 500 groups (both officially and non officials). These fragmentation and division make us weak and powerless in any issues. Our road to solidarity is often a failure. We are unable to punish culprits in the earlier molestations or rape cases. This encourages the offenders to continue their exploitations and tortures our girls from time to time. They have taken undue advantages of the internal differences and clashes among us. Collectively, we should have a powerful voice soon!

North East girls are the most beautiful female in India. Their looks are so innocent, pure and symbol of truth and sincerity. They always respect the elders, addressing - bhaiya, uncleji, auntyji etc. This makes them extraordinary from other girls. However, they have been harassed, abused and discriminated every day. They are the cynosure of soring eyes. No one spares them - shopkeepers, auto rickshaw drivers and bus conductors. The people from mainland forget to realize these girls have travelled 4000 kilometers from their home to study and work.

There are also girls from other states of India. And not a single report of rape, molestation or eve-teasing against the girls from Madhya Pradesh, Kerala, Tamil Nadu or Bihar. However, we heard of raping and molesting foreign tourists from countries like Germany, France, Japan, China and other South Asian countries in Rajasthan, Goa or Delhi. Can we compare our girls with these foreigners? Is this the reason for sexually abusing NE girls? Are we alien here in India or some refugees from foreign countries? If they regard us as foreigner, then our struggle for a separate country is legitimate and politically acceptable? If it is a fact, then the Central government should proclaimed to the world that North Eastern states were never a part of India. Otherwise, they should protect and take necessary actions to save our integrity and community from further exploitations in Delhi or other Indian cities.

What are those physical structures in our girls that are a subject of sexual abuses and crimes? Do they have more curves than those North Indian girls, fetish or more hot (often a term used by North Indian man to describe a woman). Are our girls used to reveal their assets or body more than Bipasha, Mallika Sherawat or Rakhi Sawant? Does our girls dressed tight tops, jeans, and deep cut blouses? No one would ever find any of our girls in such wardrobe mismanagement. The people of Manipur have already designed 32 different kinds of dresses during 12th century A.D. At that time, Indians were still uncertain of what to wear and how to dress sensibly. Then it is injustice on the part of Delhi authorities to impose a dress code for the NE girls only. Instead they should dictate strict rules on Delhi's landlord, Paying Guest owners and police personals to protect and care our girls. The mainstream media should stop representing stereotype image of our girls as easily available for party, enjoyment and sex.

We also need to know why the Biharis (people from Bihar) owners and managers of small private company always search for NE girls as their Personal Secretaries or Receptionists or sales girls in shopping malls. Why the fashion photographers wants models or new face from our region for bold, inner wears or compromising photo shoots? Why so many beauty parlors recruit our innocent girls? Why we have started a so called live-in culture in rented rooms, misguiding to our landlords as brother-sister relationship. Why so many MMS scandals are uploaded online which depicts immoral acts of our own girls and boys? And why our parents and guardians do not think twice to question what type of jobs their daughters are doing - part time, freelance or full time? We need to critically analyze these unsolved myths, if we want to protect further crimes on our community.

Most of our girls are staying in posh colonies of New Friends Colony (near Jamia Milia Islamia), South Extension Part I and II, Vasant Kunj, Greater Kailash I and II, Munirka, Lajpat Nagar and Kotla in South Delhi. Every weekend, these girls will end up in some bars around Defence Colony, M- Block market of Greater Kailash or Vasant Kunj. They are also seen in McDonalds, Pizza Hut and Multiplexes like the PVR, 3C's or the WAVES. Often they have a fluent accent in US or UK English, lavish lifestyles and extravagance in Shopping Malls. No one could say they are our girls. It seems they felt inferior to converse in our own regional dialects. We could see our girls in public places like Ansal Plaza or Lodhi Gardens cajoling, hugging and kissing their so called lovers (mostly outsiders - people not from our region). When they saw us among the crowd, they used to ignore our presence. Such behaviors, if properly noticed by the outsiders would surely think the girls have no one to protect their chastity or morality. And the horrifying tales of exploitations, molestations and rapes continues like the Dhaula Kuan car rape case, Munirka business woman case and the North Campus cyber café case.

The role of state government is to deploy one of the state battalion in Delhi with a sole purpose of protecting our own sisters from the gangs of Northern India. We may approach the state government of 8 states to send security forces. It may be the Manipur Rifles, the Sikkim Police, Assam police or Nagaland police. There are battalions of Tamil Nadu police in Delhi. Such presence of our police force will discourage the people from eve teasing or harassments to our girls. Our girls may also feel safe and secure then.

The MPs from our region should collectively work, forgetting about their political affiliations and voiced for a North East Women Commission, in line with National Commission for Women (NCW). If there can be DONER to look after the development of our region, why can't we have separate women commission to protect our girls at National level. They should pressurize the centre to pass a Bill for the protection and preservation of our identity, culture and unity.

It is a good sign that many student organizations based in Delhi are expressing their support for the cause of NE states. Organizations like the Manipur Student Association of Delhi (MSAD) and Assam Student Association of Delhi (ASAD) are spearheading recent issue of molestations on our girls. We need more voluntary participations from Nagaland, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Tripura, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh to have more impact on our cause for unity and integrity. We also need International organizations like Friends of Assam and Seven Sisters (FASS) to support our mission of uniting the region. Most importantly, we should respect our traditions and cultures. We cannot duplicate other's lifestyle which have no place in our society!

Merry Christmas 2010

2010-12-22T20:19:00.000-08:00

Christmas is both a sacred religious holiday and a worldwide cultural and commercial phenomenon. For two millennia, people around the world have been observing it with traditions and practices that are both religious and secular in nature. Christians celebrate Christmas Day as the anniversary of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, a spiritual leader whose teachings form the basis of their religion. Popular customs include exchanging gifts, decorating Christmas trees, attending church, sharing meals with family and friends and, of course, waiting for Santa Claus to arrive. December 25–Christmas Day–has been a federal holiday in the United States since 1870.

Food for ur LOVE

food for LOVE : (chocablog.com image)

Make everyday a day for love and romance. With this recipe, love can't stay too far from your kitchen!

Make sure it is simple, delicious and easy-to-do. Spending too much time cooking a complicated meal is something none of us look forward to!

Red being the colour of the day, it's easy to add this vibrant colour to your Valentine's Day meals. For breakfast, you can use beautiful bright red fruit like perfect heart-shaped strawberries, deep red cranberries or even an apple to give it that special touch. Cranberry juice is a good alternative to your regular orange or apple juice. You can add dried cranberries to your morning cereal. For the slightly more adventurous, bake cranberry muffins. However, nothing can beat a crisp French toast for breakfast. There are many versions of this toast. Some believe that it was a creation of some medieval European cooks who used stale bread to feed their families with. They revived this bread with moisture and heat and ate it. Some Medieval recipes for 'French toast' suggest that it was enjoyed by the wealthy since, in those days, cookbooks were written by the rich for the rich. The recipes used the finest white bread with the crusts trimmed off, something a poor person would never do. Recipes for 'French toast' can be traced back to the Romans. One of the original French names for this dish is 'pain a la Romaine', or Roman bread.

Chocolate French Toast with fresh strawberries
Ingredients: 2/3 cup sugar; 1/3 cup cocoa powder; 1/8 tsp baking powder; 1/4 tsp salt; 1 cup milk; 4 large eggs; 1 tsp vanilla essence; 4 thick slices bread; 1/4 cup butter; icing sugar for garnishing; 200g fresh strawberries

Method: In a bowl, combine the sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well blended and no cocoa lumps remain. Pour in half of the milk and whisk until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Add the remaining milk, the eggs, and the vanilla. Whisk until blended well.

Arrange the bread in a single layer in a 9x13-inch baking dish (or similar vessel) and pour the cocoa mixture over the bread. Turn the bread once to get both sides nicely coated. Poke each bread slice repeatedly with the tines of a fork to make it absorb the batter. Let it soak, turning every 10 minutes, until the bread is well soaked.

Heat the butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. When melted and hot, carefully lift the bread slices, one at a time, from the batter to the pan. Cook until the underside is brown and lightly crisp. You can lower the flame if the slices are browning too fast. Flip and continue cooking until the slices are slightly puffed in the centre and are bouncy to the touch. Then transfer the French toast to the plate and serve immediately with strawberries dusted with icing sugar.

Accused was EMAMI cold Cream

2010-12-17T07:41:00.000-08:00

Tring Tring. . .i hate this sound.There was a time when "You n i in this beautiful world" goes my ear drum and makes me fell in HEAVEN.Unfourtunately damn dats my faith. m upset wid the world MOBILE....When i c my fellows murmebing in cell fon with their especial 1 the only world that comes in my mind is "WISH I HAD the 1" . . .them it takes me to the place where i used to whisper at night after 11.PM, since i had RELIANCE FREE night pack that i got from one of the Mobile shop in MEERUT,UP INDIA.

The day was covered with LIGHTS and candles, I was in fresh mood for shopping near by MEERUT city.It was 12:20 pm and i was in the height of enjoying the hour."Airplane : BOB ft. HARLEY WILLIAMS" was on my way."BHAYA KAHA PAR JANAH HEY ?", a riskshaw drive with long moustage and uncomed hair asked me, but the Qwery was god one 4 me, cuz i was not know where was MEERUT city...hehehe. . .I simple replied "BEGUM BRIDGE". I was known m far way from my destination.My only fellow from SIKKIM, Amir Ji was beside me. . .giving me a cute smile every time, dont know what run in his mind. So finally we reached BEGUM BRIDGE, the interesting part was I was in half paint and t-shirt. I was to repair my laptop INTEX charger, so with out looking here and there, I looked only to those shops and service center where i could fix my problem.My neck started paining some where written HCL begumpul pn.no 99923456, COMPAQ begumpul . . . . blah blah. . .sorry I coldn't find my choice. So I started stretching my eyes towards small repairing center. finally I got it. ..shit! dat was duplicate, but was fit in my system.The shop owner snatched 500 rs from my hand, without any hasitation I thanked him wid my smileless smile.

It was silent from 2 hours, and there was no any sign of being there. So I slowely put my hand in my pocket to verify whether it was there, instead a small cute "EMANI cold cream" jumped on my palm, I was shocked. . . how could this happen ? ? ? Wheres my lifeine ? ? ? "AMIR AMIR . . where is my phone ? ? ?". I fell like fallen from NiGERIA FALLS and shank as no one gonna find me now. "LYA HO !" the only words I could auter."LYA JHARACHA RIKSHAW MA. . .". I rewind the time when I was listening to music and driver asked me, "Yeah ! I had emami + my cell, I was wearing half-paint". Bullshit ! ! I was thinking EMAMI as CELL FON. OMGosh!

I missed the song that used to make me smile . . .the CONTACT from previous 3 yrs. . . if any one had to type those LOST contact den I am preety sure that it must be a PHYSICAL TORTURE. I wish no one get that cell in future.

I realised that the main accused regading loosing my cell fon was "EMAMI cold cream" . . . I was so angry wid it, but also sometimes it play vital role in my LIPS.

But no matter what c say I was in my way of gazing and thinking to reach and say "LOOK MOM M HERE".....I had a curiosity of knowing new things and implement in my life.

I still remember When I was in my IIIrd grade my mom never use to come to pick me at my school. Some day the MONSOON rain had wetted me and SUMMER sun had burnt me, I used to think. My mom doesn’t LOVE me. From ma childhood only my mama leaves me in my own foot, either the hurricanes come or earthquake, I have to resist.

Slowly the time passed and the wind changed. I moved towards JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL, there i get my first chance to hang out with my colleagues’ was in Vth grade, we get shifted to NEW DEVELOPEMENT AREA, my DAD had built a building for us of two stories.(NOW ITS 5). Since he was from GORKHA BATELLION I have to wake up early in the morning and finish my duties at right time. He too use to SHOUT at me without ny reason. Sometimes I tend to use SLANG word with in my heart, but can’t speak out. With my efforts and hard work I jumped to X grade, mama still didn’t had time to say "BEST OF LUCK"........but there is always warmth feeling in my heart "I LOVE U MOM".........and c is close 2 me forever.

Gradually the heat of teen attracted me, Namchi was my best dating spot..hahahahaha.....The word uttered at those moment blindly as if i have sneezed. We had to gib class X BOARD examination at Namchi Girls Senior Sec. School. All the boys were on the best mood for at least 1month.I got to know few of them but hardly remembered 2 or 3. That was the time when I enjoyed a lot. Gone for Samduptcha wid my fellows and many others places. I Come 2 know how girls and boys spend their time.....unfortunately I DIDNT. . .I had to go for my friend's dating alone with him(as a supporter). The FEBRUARY 2006 was awesome month in my entire teen.

I opted for DIPLOMA on 2007 and i got to know many new things which i was not aware in my entire life. I got more interested in COMPUTER SCIENCE and Tech . . .wanna know more about how the things happens and come to existence. That was my RIGHT DECISION on march 2007 when I got my CLASS X result. I have curiosity to know more new and new things. What the developed country has which we doesn’t have. If any new ideas came in ours people mind then it is said that the idea was used in European country 20 yrs. back. Those r the little things that is pulling me to know. . Y?? ? Not.. HOW? ? ?

2012: Beginning of the End or Why the World Won't End?

2010-12-05T10:42:00.000-08:00

Remember the Y2K scare? It came and went without much of a whimper because of adequate planning and analysis of the situation. Impressive movie special effects aside, Dec. 21, 2012, won't be the end of the world as we know. It will, however, be another winter solstice.

Much like Y2K, 2012 has been analyzed and the science of the end of the Earth thoroughly studied. Contrary to some of the common beliefs out there, the science behind the end of the world quickly unravels when pinned down to the 2012 timeline. Below, NASA Scientists answer several questions that we're frequently asked regarding 2012.

Question (Q): Are there any threats to the Earth in 2012? Many Internet websites say the world will end in December 2012.
Answer (A): Nothing bad will happen to the Earth in 2012. Our planet has been getting along just fine for more than 4 billion years, and credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012.

Q: What is the origin of the prediction that the world will end in 2012?
A: The story started with claims that Nibiru, a supposed planet discovered by the Sumerians, is headed toward Earth. This catastrophe was initially predicted for May 2003, but when nothing happened the doomsday date was moved forward to December 2012. Then these two fables were linked to the end of one of the cycles in the ancient Mayan calendar at the winter solstice in 2012 -- hence the predicted doomsday date of December 21, 2012.

Q: Does the Mayan calendar end in December 2012?
A: Just as the calendar you have on your kitchen wall does not cease to exist after December 31, the Mayan calendar does not cease to exist on December 21, 2012. This date is the end of the Mayan long-count period but then -- just as your calendar begins again on January 1 -- another long-count period begins for the Mayan calendar.

Q: How do NASA scientists feel about claims of pending doomsday?
A: For any claims of disaster or dramatic changes in 2012, where is the science? Where is the evidence? There is none, and for all the fictional assertions, whether they are made in books, movies, documentaries or over the Internet, we cannot change that simple fact. There is no credible evidence for any of the assertions made in support of unusual events taking place in December 2012.

Q: Is there a danger from giant solar storms predicted for 2012?
A: Solar activity has a regular cycle, with peaks approximately every 11 years. Near these activity peaks, solar flares can cause some interruption of satellite communications, although engineers are learning how to build electronics that are protected against most solar storms. But there is no special risk associated with 2012. The next solar maximum will occur in the 2012-2014 time frame and is predicted to be an average solar cycle, no different than previous cycles throughout history.

Carlos Slim Helu Is World's Richest Man

2010-10-29T14:40:00.000-07:00

CARLOS SLIM HELU

Bill Gates' reign as the world’s richest man was interrupted this year 2010 as the world’s plutocrats cashed in at a startling rate. Though the Microsoft tycoon has held the title for 14 of the last 15 years, he was overtaken by Mexican telecommunications mogul Carlos Slim Helu, according to Forbes' annual list. Slim, whose $18.5 billion in earnings over the last 12 months catapulted him into first, has reportedly amassed a fortune of $53.5 billion. The growth was due largely to shares of America Movil shooting up 35 percent. Gates, whose fortune is at approximately $53 billion, is a close second after earning $13 billion this year. Warren Buffett is third with $47 billion, $10 billion of which came from a pair of shrewd investments in Goldman Sachs and General Electric during the economic turmoil. "We've put a lot of money to work during the chaos of the last two years," Buffett wrote. "When it's raining gold, reach for a bucket, not a thimble."

Goals should be SMART. . .

2010-10-06T08:55:00.000-07:00

Goals should be SMART – Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Time-Oriented or Time-Sensitive.

They have definite tangible outcomes.

What are goals?

Goals are visions, outcomes, objectives or expectations. There are big goals and small goals.To reach that goal, you need to find out how much you need to save in a year for the next ten years, how much in a month and how much everyday. You need to make sure that you have the income and the expenses that support your daily goal. If not, extend your time frame or try to increase your income, or reduce your expenses to meet your daily goal.

“If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there”…I read somewhere.

it is a commitment, your mind will stay focused, and direct yourself towards the qualities of persistence, commitment and consistency to reach that goal.

Define/Specific:

The goal should be specific. It is not, ‘I want to have lot of money in ten years”. What is ‘lot?’ Be specific, so you can divide further to reach daily goal. Goals must be concrete. Vague and ambiguous goals cannot be reached.Goals are specific measurable targets that are designed to clarify expectations, destinations.

Short term goals:

Think of them as means to an end. When you have a short term goal aiming towards the long term goal, you see that you’re moving forward everyday. Short term goals eventually culminate to your long term goal because they are measurable. You can monitor the progress. What gets measured gets done. I remember my father had a budget goal and every night before he laid his head on the pillow, he would account for his daily expenses. He monitored it religiously. Goal setting also creates a discipline in you.

Realistic & Attainable:

Goals must be realistic and believable. If you don’t believe you can achieve a goal, you won’t pay the price for it. Only when you believe you’ll choose to stay focused and do what you need to do to get it.

Goal should encompass are areas of life. Remember to set financial, academic, professional, physical, spiritual and relationship goals. Neither can you do one after the other nor can you get away without growth in another area.. All areas are interdependent. It will create a domino effect.All areas need equal priorities. One is not more important than another. Do not compromise something for another. No goal is impossible.

Time or deadline:

Define your goal and decide by when you want it. Deadline is important. We are inherently designed to set and achieve goals. Think about, when you wake up you have your own set of actions that you do like brush your teeth, wash your face, comb your hair, read newspaper or use computer, get to school or work and so on and so forth. You can call them chores, tasks, routine but these are daily goals, have become a habit and over the course of years they are on auto pilot.

Dream big, set goals, INK it and act on it with a definite deadline. You can achieve whatever you want. Nothing is stopping you from reaching your destination except the shackles that you put around you. Remember,

Goal + Timely Action = Desired Results

Celebration of Janmasthami

2010-09-01T13:38:00.000-07:00

LORD KRISHNA

The birthday of Lord Krishna, Janmasthami will be celebrated on September 2 this year. Janmastahmi is celebrated with great enthusiasm by Hindu religion in all parts of the country. Lord Krishna was one of the avatars of Lord Vishnu. The birth of Lord Krishna is celebrated according to the Gregorian calendar. This day usually falls between August and mid-September every year. Last year, Janmasthami was celebrated on August 14. The Smartha Sects Brahmins have declared Janmasthami to be celebrated on September 1, instead of September 2. Even the government of Andhra Pradesh has announced a holiday for Janmastahmi on September 1.

Krishna Janmasthami is known by different names in different parts of the country.Â It can be called a Gokulashtami, Srikrishna Jayanti, Krishnashtami, Sree Jayanthi, Saatam Aatham, Janmashtami, and Ashtami Rohini. Â Janmasthami is celebrated on eighth day of Krishna Paksh of Shraavan month. The name of this day differs on the basis of where a person lives and what religious belief a person follows. Most people who celebrate this day observe a fast on previous day. For this year, the fast will be observed by people on September 1. The fast is followed by night-long commemoration of birth of Lord Krishna at midnight. At midnight, an idol of Lord Krishna is Â bathed and adorned with new clothes and jewelery. At the end of this fast, fast observers perform an aarti, a prayer.

This day is celebrated with enactment of Raas Lila in Mathura and Vrindavan, where Lord Krishna spent a major part of his life. Raas Lila is the dramatic enactment of flirtatious nature of Krishnaâ€™s youth period. Some other parts of the country celebrate Govinda Pathask or Dahi Handi aspects, that is, the mischievous and playful side of Krishnaâ€™s life on this day.

2010-08-31T02:54:00.000-07:00

The premier college in the hill state was crowded with students in green and grey uniform. The dress code had been enforced by the authorities from today to maintain uniformity among students hailig from different economic backgrounds.

For the girls, grey skirts with black stockings have replaced the trousers. “We are very happy about the uniform. It has brought unity and uniformity on the campus,” said Chettri.

Tadong Government College comes under Sikkim University. The monsoon semesters had started from June and the college authorities said the decision to introduce uniforms was taken at that time. “But we could not implement it then, as we had to give students time to get them stitched,” a member of the college authority said.

I GAVE 1 FOR THE ROAD...

2010-08-29T13:58:00.000-07:00

Way 2 ma new collage_DEWAN VS INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY

It was mid June 2010 I was having my daily routine to wake at 9:00 pm (but my mom wants me it at 6:00).I took a look for living room via a long crystal glass which has been my sunrays. I can clearly see the movement but I was dumb, then I get off , someone was screaming at me as if I had ruined his life…After a minute he get silence and I suffered channels. The daily ads. were at the tip of ma lips and no one can stop me on saying “WAKKA WAKKA THIZ TYM FO AFRICA…HBO…PIMP MY RIDE…”.suddenly the remote jumps on ma sister hand, and I wish, please no to “BUTTON 05”, she can see a cute smile on ma face and blamed “BHAI STOP WATCHING THIS TYPES OF VIDEOS”…(CHANNEL-V,V-TV,M-TV, etc…), it get shocked and tremble me, the battery has gone down…hehe….After half-past 10 I was on the lap on ma mother, and I couldn’t resists myself from saying “MUKH DHU ANI PUJA GAR!!!” I was 2 walk alone the long passage…then wash room….

Suddenly my eyes stuck at the piece of paper where it shouldn’t be. So I picked it lightly and starts reading. “1 FOR THE ROAD”, what the heck it is!!! I was not able 2 trap the meaning, meanwhile I read it, after a minute I realized the paper was half-broken…I blame my fate on not reading those whole passages. After having my activities I thought of a paper. is it lyrics of T-PAIN/BOW-WOW, might not. why the road matters for those celebrities…or it might be poetry by a gr8 scholars like WILLIAM SHAKESPEARS/CHETAN BHAGAT…..aah!!! leave it….!!!! I had numerous thoughts as Sir ALBERT NEWTON has never thought of it. ”but how he proposed theory of RELATIVITY???”, I heard it was also proposed by our gr8 Indian scientist SIR JAGDISH CH. BOSE….whatever!!! now how to get my ROAD???

I open the jip of ma mini baby laptop and connect the usb AIRTEL INTERNET CONNECTOR to it, and starts connecting…instead he claimed me “sorry cant find proxy???” PROXY??? Oh!! I need ma subscriber name..then access point..blah blah…I thank god dat all the words was their from NETWORKING LAB..i thanked Ranjan Sir….at last I success “SUCCESSFULLY CONECTED”. So I couldn’t stop ma finger on typing “ROAD”. GOOGLE claimed me with his thousand of links, which?wer? I was confused.oh god!!! Where should I find ma way!!! Next time a magic happens “VIDEO BY JUSTINE TIMBERLAKE..4:27 mins”, I didn’t hesitate on clicking the link..it was so sad…tears falls down my chick..how could this happen!!!so romantic…I want from quotes to poems and poetry all the way I traveled and visited different part of the world…But no way of “ROAD”.I switched my search engine 2wads a site which is known as the father of search engine, developed on 1994 by JERRY YANG & DAVID FILO, and has it headquarter at SILICON VALLEY of CALIFORNIA (U.S.A)…its none other than “YAHOOOOO!!!”….instead he has a numbers of question as if I am giving interview, “Why Road?Need?-asked by ”…prabin thakur_12-03-2007…blah blah…

Atlast I hab 2 beg GOOGLE image, I the copy of the “road” on it.YEAH!!! I I found u..now wer u go??my road!! I will complete your paragraph.i was so glad 2 see like I hir a jackpot of $1000… I lightly clicked on the path, and saved it as my desktop background image, it was so handsome..my road!!!

The link was connected to Hindustan Times, Calcutta.i gone through it, and when I found the words from where I had stuck I was so happy, like dats my happiest moment ever.i get to bed and had a dream on it, so relax..walking on the road and thinking of the poorer who walks on street and hab to relay on street…many more thought crosses my mind..people walks on street but no one give a single time on it..no one thinks of it…for those who trys to earn their daily breads and butter knows the actual meaning…

From the paragraph I get a lesson,the saying 1 FOR THE ROAD could acquire a new meaning altogether since you will be able 2 drink but not drive..
