Yes if you are boy, your valentine can be any girl and if you are a girl then your valentine can be any boy (except the above boys in girl's list). (Special Note - no special case is discuss here).

Valentine means a partner/person in your life who loves you the most.. right buddys!! The day we landed on earth, god has gifted us two special valentine - MOM & DAD, PAPA & MUMMY, FATHER & MOTHER. Along with this two special valentine, sometimes some people are very luck (like me) to whom god gives them special offer like GET TWO and GET ONE FREE.............

So on 14th Feb Don't forget to give your life long experienced best LoVe skill to all your VALENTINES :-D

Your question how to identify your VALENTINE?

For BOYS - The girl who proposes you or the girl who accept your proposal, i think the first will not be possible so stick with the second one.

For GIRLS - Make long list of boys who proposed you or looking around you from many months, select the richest one :-D

For BOYS and GIRLS - Just chill and enjoy your life, the god will again gift you one more SPECIAL VALENTINE, just believe in his LOVE MAGIC.

CAUTION - DON'T RUN AFTER PEOPLE WHO DON'T love YOU !!

T.L.R. OF RELATIONSHIP

2011-01-21T00:33:00.000-08:00

In every relationship there exists the Love. Love does not mean Love relationship between lovers. Relationship between any two persons has three stages TRUST, LOVE, RESPONSIBILITY. With the beginning of any relation trust forms the base of the relationship. With development of the Trust it makes them to believe on each other. With passage of time this trust slowly develops into love. When they are in love with each other the relationship is perfect. To have this perfect relationship till after the last breathe a big word Responsibility comes. Love is incomplete without responsibility. As simple as this fourteen-letter word sound it is as difficult to accomplish.

Now the relation is established between two persons. Every relationship has love and the love is always accompanied by expectation. It’s true if you love someone you will definitely have more or less but some expectations from your lovesome. More is love higher are expectations. When we are not able to come up to the expectation that is the thing which affects the love between them and ultimately the relationship.

As an engineer I would define it in a better way, Expectation and Love are directly proportional to each other and breaking up of a relation is inversely proportional to not satisfying the expectation of your love some.

In short more you love someone more is the expectation and greater efforts you have to make to sustain the relationship for life time.

INDIA V/S PAKISTAN FIH World Cup

2010-02-28T09:48:00.000-08:00

FIH WORLD CUP

My first Indo-Pak hockey match i have ever seen still 21.

INDIA won the hockey match against Pakistan by 4-1.

It was a great match not because it was between INDIA and PAKISTAN. Because all Indian to gather for INDIAN HOCKEY. A great thanks to HERO HONDA who sponsored Indian hockey and DD-national who presented the live telecast otherwise i wont be able to see my great hero's of Indian hockey.

Coming to the match with the first half Indian striker played a very good game resulting into two goals. For Pakistan's player at one time it was difficult to reach the D circle of india [ sorry, if i make any mistake in describing the match as i m unaware of rules and terms used in hockey match]. I was trying to gain more knowledge from the commenter. I came to know that Pakistani player named SOHAIL ABBAS is the best penalty corner specialist. And weak point of Indian team was the penalty corner. But today i show miracles, Sohail Abbas wasn't able to convert penalty corner into goals. Our superman SANDEEP, showed a superb game he converted two penalty corner into goals. At the end of the first half score was 2-0

In the second half, Pakistan showed some aggressive attack. One thing i saw they used to hit the leg directly of Indian player to get the penalty corner. But they fail to get the full benefit of penalty corner. And with this match Indian is heading first in the pool table.

L.D Cleaning Under NAMMI.

2010-02-28T02:29:00.000-08:00

NAMMI - A TOUCH OF CARE
30th July 2009 we removed the plastic garbage from our college. The roots for this event had been sown a week ago. Deep, Pankaj, Amit and Nikunj saw the plastic garbage present in the campus. We saw that our campus was green but was not clean. So we decided to clean the college by removing the plastic wastes. We planned everything and told this idea to other friends. They also thought that it was a very good idea so they volunteered themselves and also brought their friends. Thus we made a huge team of 50+ volunteers. We met at 12:30 at a pre-decided place and then the groups were sent to 14 main places with the required materials like hand gloves and bags to collect the garbage. The volunteers performed the task with great enthusiasm and it took nearly two hours to complete the endeavor. We collected a total of 28 bags which accounted to nearly 40 kgs of garbage. We all were stunned looking at the bags. We never knew that our second home was so dirty. We dumped the garbage bags into the AMC garbage bins.This was how the whole project was a grand success.

GATE EXAM OR BETTER SAY DOOR!!

2010-02-14T07:47:00.000-08:00

14th feb First of all HAPPY VALENTINE DAY TO ALL

Very beautiful day today. I dnt know who the hell gave the idea to this GATE EXAM ppl to conduct exam on valentine day it was a day for LOVE not for FEAR!! As usual i have not prepared for exam and as usual mom ki ram khani chalu ho gaya tha jab mein bola ki, i have gate exam tomorrow "kuch to read kar. aur bas yeh computer ya friends ka saath guhmana, kabhi books leka batho". My reply mom mujha apni merji se jeena do...
Ha!! last night i watched welcome movie little bit and then slept at 12:00 bit earlier as we ppl have a date with beautiful gate ppl next morning from 9:30 to 12:30. I tried to sleep but my sweet mobile was not allowing me to sleep it was continuously beep beep..... and seriously i was getting some handsome message but again my mind was just thinking i dint want to sleep in exam hall. Setting the alarm at 6:00 & at 6:05 a.m and putting my cell in silent, i lost myself in beautiful dreams.

The alarm my most trusted thing in my life started ding dinggg dingg!!! finally at 6:30 i was able to leave my bad but it was still dragging towards it!! At 8 i got ready and i wore BLUE t-shirt as last night i got msg saying that for single guy the dress code is BLUEEEEEEEE... with a hope that i would found someone BLUEEEEE over gate exam might some girl wore blue with same intense as i have wore it!!
Now the biggest hunt i have to start was my ADMIT CARD.. where is it?? bull shit!! where i have kept i forgot... then my sweetu mom said " ya lo, apni chija thik se rahka karo" and then i said " thankssssss ". Now the next task was to gather pen, pencil, rubber. All my this weapons i put in my long and fancy pouch. My center was at Chankera college so i reached there around 9:00. Looked around and tried to find out my classmate but no one was there.

So now i have to find out my final destination i.e. my class room. It was in F block so i march towards my beloved gate gate gate... My seat was at last bench. Sat on bench and did the most favorite thing look around and find out some beautiful chicks. But i was knowing that today was a bad day because today was Sunday - so no college, no friends, and yes gate.... so in my class there were chicks but not beautiful:-( but looking around helped me one thing that before leaving home i should have read the back side admit card ... guess what i forgot??
damp!! i forgot the CALCULATOR... i was like. what an idiot i am.. i really didn't mean it:-)
It took me few minutes to get stable and to prepare myself to give exam without calc. I got the paper and i was like when sir will say to start, not because i was interested in paper but i love to break the paper seal in my own way as i did in AIEE and few more exam...

Now it was the time to start the war. I took my sword pencil and started the GATE WAR against a 65 warriors. Then i thought its valentine day today its the birthday of saint valentine who thought how to love everyone. So GATE WAR converted into GATE LOVE and 65 warriors converted into 65 beautiful girls and the great warrior pankaj's sword pencil converted into red and smoothing rose like a soft lips...

Now my main AIM was to make this 65 BEAUTIFUL GIRLS MY BELOVED IN 3 HOURS. Some girls where having there dad, boyfriends with them means NEGATIVE MARKING. For some girls my one look was enough and they just become my love slave. For some girls were sexy and bold and i loved the way they twisted me and finally i made them my love slave and i enjoyedddddd!!!!! Some were like S**t and so i rejected them and move forward. At 12:00 i have met all nice, simple, sexy, stunning girls and only s**t girls were to de dated. so i started dating them. but frankly speaking i failed to make them my love slave.

To be continued.......

Yoonhi Nahin Dil Lubhaata Koi

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na

Yoonhi Nahin Dil Lubhaata Koi
Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na
Maane Tu Ya Maane Na

Dekho Abhi Khona Nahin
Kabhi Juda Hona Nahin
Ab Khel Mein Yoohin Rahenge Hum Dono
Vaada Raha Ye Is Shaam Ka

Mera Tujhse Hai Pehle Ka Naata Koi
Yoonhi Nahin Dil Lubhaata Koi

ACT AND SAVE ENERGY

Energy is an important aspect required for the existing of human being in today’s world. We the human beings nowadays are so captivated that we can’t spend a single day without electrical energy, i.e. electricity. We all know that electricity is so much important but still we don’t care about it. The natural approach of most of the people “WE PAY FOR THE AMOUNT OF ELECTRICITY WE USE. SO WE ARE UTILISING OUR OWN ELECTRICITY”. But we want to mention here that after 10 years we will be having money but we won’t be having electrical energy, as the nonrenewable sources are going to extinguish. Remember three things…

>>“SAVING ENERGY IS A GENERATION OF ENERGY”

>>ONE SHOULD HAVE A SELF REALISATION

Wherever you are if you find any waste of energy then don’t wait or think that it’s not my duty. Just act at that time; either stop wastage of energy by some means or call the responsible person.

>>SWITCH TO MORE USE OF RENEWABLE ENERGY

HAVE ONE AND ADOPT ONE

2010-02-13T03:44:00.000-08:00

HAVE ONE ADOPT ONE

With the increase in population the world is now going with concept of “HUM DO HUMARA EK” means a couple must have one child. But NAMMI group believes that the concept of “HUM DO HUMARE DO” is still applicable but it needs just one change in the concept. That’s a couple have one their own child and adopt one orphan child.Why we should adopt, just close your eyes and make out the difference in the life of a child with hands of parents over their head and all alone in this world. Our one step will cause a change in our life but just imagine the life of children, his\her whole world will be changed with our single step. A child without parents what’s its future he\she might get into wrong path or he may live a miserable life. But if someone holds their hand and the child will definitely have a bright future. So come on Youth the time has come that we have to change our attitude and adopt such concept in our life.
