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

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

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

The Pancake

The Pancake

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Charles Schultz Philosophy

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

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

How did you do?

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

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

Easier?

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

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

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

(Charles Schultz)

How to Detect Lies

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

Introduction to Detecting Lies:

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

Signs of Deception:

Body Language of Lies:

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

Emotional Gestures & Contradiction

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

Interactions and Reactions

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

Verbal Context and Content

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

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

Other signs of a lie:

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

Final Notes:

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

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

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

Arranged marriage

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

Some of the questions that crop up are –

· What sort of a girl do I marry?

· Will she adjust in my family?

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

· When should I get married?

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

…. so on and so forth…

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

The Nine Rules of Arranged marriage

· Rule 1 – Magic no. 28

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

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

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

· Rule 2 -- Subset of marriage-able girls

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

· Rule 3 – Competition for girls

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

· Rule 4 -- Understanding girls

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

· Rule 5 – Society expectation

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

· Rule 6 -- Marriage between equals

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

· Rule 6 – Know yourself

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

· Rule 7 -- Girl's Beauty

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

· Rule 8 -- Taking advice

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

· Rule 9 -- Own decision

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

How to approach the selection process?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

· The receiver send similar information

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Economic Super Power India in 2020

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

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

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

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

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

Gary:
"Name as tea?"

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

Gary:
"How can I help you?"

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

Jane:
"How can I be helping you?"

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

Randy:
"How I can be helping you?"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jane:
"Yaar, I do."

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

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

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

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

Position or Performance?

Position or Performance?

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

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

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

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

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

'Results my friend, results,' shrugs God.

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

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

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

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

how you can punish the whole individual for an offence

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

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

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

pulled over, ready to receive a speeding ticket.

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

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

excuse and I'll let you go..

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

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

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

Women.... Women

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

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

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

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

"Yes granddaughter, it's me."

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

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

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

"Anything, my child."

Loretta .. Nice Joke

Sweet Loretta went to see her doctor.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder....

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

This is how it manifests:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Best 50 of Murphy's Law

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

***********

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

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

***********

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

***********

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

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

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

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

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

All great discoveries are made by mistake.

Always draw your curves, then plot your reading.

***********

Nothing ever gets built on schedule or within budget.

***********

All's well that ends.

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

***********

The first myth of management is that it exists.

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

New systems generate new problems.

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

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

Any given program, when running, is obsolete.

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

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

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

***********

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

***********

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

***********

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

***********

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

***********

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

***********

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

***********

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

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

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

All things are possible except skiing through a revolving door.

The only perfect science is hind-sight.

Everything that goes up must come down.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Right Question

There were a thousand reasons not to stop.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And for him, that was reason enough.

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

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

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

A Love Like No Other

A Love Like No Other

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

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

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

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

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

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

"What was that for?" the man asked.

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

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

The wife apologized and went on with the housework.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Modern Panchtantra Story [ IT HUMOR ]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Moral :If you're not up-to-date with technology trends, it's better to
keep your mouth shut and let people think you're a fool than to open
your mouth and remove all doubt.

10 tips for good night's sleep

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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