Summer Camp by DESIRE Society

2009-05-11T17:26:00.004+05:30

Visited the summer camp held by DESIRE society, in the weekend.
It was a camp for HIV positive children. There were about 45 to 50 children who came for the camp. It was held for three days (8th, 9th and 10th May) at vignan school, nijampet road.
It was very nice being with those kids. The kids were all very active and healthy. Most of them are from Desire society only. Only 10 or so kids are from outside.
They conducted different games, held some competitions, and dances by kids to entertain them. Till evening they used to conduct indoor games and in the evening outdoor games like co co, cricket were held. In the night they played some movies for the kids to watch. All the three days and nights the kids spent there only in the school.
On the first day, to the inauguration of the camp, the famous music director Mr. R P Patnayak came. He spent around three hours with the kids.

Briefly about DESIRE:
DESIRE society was found by Mr.G Ravibabu. It is a society to take care about the HIV affected children. Presently it has about 45 children. Its located at IDA Bollaram, near Miyapur. It has orphans, abandoned children, all affected by HIV. A team of care takers, and a nutritionist are always with the kids. All the kids are going to the near by Government school.

Current Situation In IT industries

2009-02-11T10:17:00.001+05:30

Once upon a time the government with Ruling Party XYZ.. had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert.

Ruling Party XYZ Said.. - "Someone may steal from it at night."

So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job. Then Ruling Party XYZ Said..

- "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?"

So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies. Then Ruling Party XYZ Said -

- "How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?"

So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people. One to do the studies and one to write the reports. Then Ruling Party XYZ Said.. ,

- "How are these people going to get paid?"

So they created the following positions, a time keeper, and a payroll officer, then hired two people. Then Ruling Party XYZ Said..,

- "Who will be accountable for all of these people?"

So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary. Then Ruling Party XYZ Said..,

- "We have had this command in operation for one year and we are $18,000 over budget, we must cutback overall cost."

So they laid off the night watchman.

"This is Current Situation In IT industries"

Be careful !!!!!

XYZ Office -> A fire alarm rang at 6 PM when almost all shift employees are in office (approx 5000). As usual entire office was evacuated within 3 mins & every employee gathered outside office, in the emergency assembly area. 10 mins passed ..................................5 more mins passed.

Security Officer -> Announcement started, "Dear Employees - With melting heart I am making this announcement that for many of you it will be a last evacuation drill, as we are laying off almost 80% employee. While moving in who-so-ever ID card won't work are lay off & all their belongings will be couriered to them tomorrow. We followed this approach as we don't want to fill email box size with layoff mail in thousands & also to avoid any fight inside office". Hope you have nice career ahead. Please move in & try your luck.

Hrudaya Spandana _ by Sahaaya Foundation

2008-12-19T12:08:00.007+05:30

December 13th, 2008
The day when the rays of hope were spread in the dark world of music.

Sahaaya Foundation, found in 2007, June by Mr. Srinivas, completed the journey of 1.5 years. They used to visit Orphanages, Old age Homes on monthly basis and serve the needs there. But they wanted to do something more than just visiting and serving these homes.
They have decided to give an opportunity to a group of visually challenged students who are waiting to show their various talents in music to the world. Remember, it is not for charity, but to get more opportunities for these young people.

After the struggle for three months and some hurdles, finally the day has come.

Date: 13th December, 2008
Time: 6 30 PM
Venue: Hari Hara Kala Bhavan
Orchestra: Kishore, Rajesh, Aditya and team
Singers: Vijay, Shravya, Priyanka, rajini, Bharati
Dancers: Phani and Vijayashri
They are a group of 16 who play Jazz, Rhythm Pad, Casio, Tabla.

All the people in the group are visually challenged. But they can see everything with their senses. They are not disabled but they are all differently able.

The show was a grand success. Everyone who had attended the event had great experience. The guests (from the Film Industry) were also very happy to be a part of such an event. Nobody expected that much response… but… but… it is not just success… but a great success.

What is success after all…? Its not just money… it is something more… Now the group has opportunities knocking their doors… which was the intention of organizing the event… its now fulfilled… that is success!!

September 11, 2008

It’s been 7 years since the Twin Towers in USA got attacked. Nothing is yet clear about how it could be done. Neither the person responsible for it was caught till now.

No No… this is not to discuss about the politics or international issues.

Today I just got reminded of it when I saw the date.

Also got reminded of few incidents happened on the same day….

***

September 11, 2001

For past one month I was attending a crash course to get placement in PG. All of my friends are also attending it, since our’s was the first batch in for that Masters degree.

We gave the exam a week back.

Our trainer gave us(myself and my friends) an offer to work for their small company, but for that we had to give a test.

We finished the test yesterday and today our results are out.

All of us went to the institute in the morning and we had to wait for sometime to know the result our test.

After a long while we came to know that all of us are through.

We felt very happy… this is our first success We are now part of that company.

We decided to celebrate our first success and made a plan to go to one friend’s native place.

We have to travel tomorrow. This evening we thought of having fun out and out. We are all set for it, but the Electricity board is not!

We had a power cut through out the evening and night… we made quite a number of calls to the electricity office but got no response. After few hours we came to know that the whole city is in dark!

That’s a surprise!

The very next day morning we heard the news…. Attack on Twin Towers!

All of us were stunned… and had only one expression…

God… its’ only our first job and here is the sign!

…

A few months later… we got placed in the PG, but in different colleges. All of us used to work part-time after the college timings.

After few months we got to know the result of that sign… the company got closed!

***

Today, September 11, 2008

No no… we are not iron legs… see I am working in the same company for past 4+ years… the company is not closed… not even in loss…

Ahhh… ofcourse it got took over by another company…!!

I know... what you are thinking now… but no… you can’t say that.

Its after all a so called co-incidence… that’s all!

The uncertain origins of a foolish day

2008-04-01T16:07:00.004+05:30

Ancient cultures, including those as varied as the Romans and the Hindus, celebrated New Year's Day on or around April 1. It closely follows the vernal equinox (March 20th or March 21st.) In medieval times, much of Europe celebrated March 25, the Feast of Annunciation, as the beginning of the new year.

In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII ordered a new calendar (the Gregorian Calendar) to replace the old Julian Calendar. The new calendar called for New Year's Day to be celebrated Jan. 1. That year, France adopted the reformed calendar and shifted New Year's day to Jan. 1. According to a popular explanation, many people either refused to accept the new date, or did not learn about it, and continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April 1. Other people began to make fun of these traditionalists, sending them on "fool's errands" or trying to trick them into believing something false. Eventually, the practice spread throughout Europe.

April Fools' Day is observed throughout the Western world. Practices include sending someone on a "fool's errand," looking for things that don't exist; playing pranks; and trying to get people to believe ridiculous things.

First Day of Spring

2008-03-20T14:15:00.001+05:30

The first day of spring this year (2008) is March 20. The equinox will be at 5:48 GMT.

In general, the four seasons correspond to the relative position of the Sun to the earth. Meteorological determination of Spring is calculated when the Sun passes through the equatorial plane. When going from Winter to Spring, the Sun is moving North, and as soon as the Sun crosses the equator, we call it Spring.

What do we have/want !?

2006-08-28T20:02:00.000+05:30

Few days back i was browsing through a website where we can create our own webpage and use it to increase our network both personally and business wise.

There i saw two interesting(or which i felt as interesting) questions...
what do u have?
what do u want?

I am not sure how these questions are in relation with the purpose of that site, but these got my attention.
I was thinking for a while, say for about 15 mins and then i realized that am thinking about something which i already have, but i could not make what it is. Does it mean i don't have anything? or I don't realize what i have?

Then comes the second question, what do i want? I was thinking for this question also. Again does it mean i don't want anything? or I don't know what i want? (I guess the second one is right!)

If someone asks me these questions today, i still do not have any answers for ready. But one thing i can say for sure is that.. i have few(be it one atleast) people who think/care for me. Isn't that enough?
What more do i want/need?

Hmm... i know am being a little philosophical here.

But still i guess i want something more... which am not sure what it is...
I feel so for the reason that, am not able to say "i don't need anything more" whole heartedly.
So what do i want?
More money? No... i dont' think i've ever cared/craved for it.
Then?

Don't know... have to find it out.
If i can find it out, am sure i found my trueself.

Did you !?

Ustad Bismillah Khan Sahib (March 21, 1916 - August 21, 2006)

2006-08-23T10:21:00.000+05:30

Ustad Bismillah Khan was a shehnai maestro from India. The term "Ustad" or "Pandit" in relation to Indian classical music implies Master or Guru.

Bismillah Khan was born on March 21, 1916. Born as the second son of his parents, Paigambar Khan and Mitthan, he was christened as Qamaruddin initially, before his grandfather uttered Bismillah after looking at the newborn.

He is the third classical musician after Pt Ravi Shankar and Smt M S Subbulakshmi to be awarded Bharath Rathna, the highest civilian honour in India.

He was perhaps single handedly responsible for making the shehnai a famous classical instrument. He brought the shehnai to the center stage of Indian music with his concert in the Calcutta All India Music Conference in 1937. It was Khan Sahib who poured his heart out into Raga Kafi from the Red Fort on the eve of India’s first Republic Day ceremony, on January 26, 1950.

The applause that I get from children when I sing the bhajan Raghupati Raghav Rajaram gives me the greatest fulfillment.
~ said in 2004 while performing at a cultural programme in New Delhi to mark Gandhi Jayanti.

Mein aur Meri Shopping - Part II

2006-08-21T13:56:00.000+05:30

Hmm.. as i couldn't get, what i wanted, in Central.. i went for shopping again the next day. My colleague who came with me the previous day got what she wanted and hence didn't come with me the second day. I was alone. I had never done shopping alone earlier.

Anyways... I've decided to go. This time i opted to go to Life Style, another famous shopping mall in the city. There was so much traffic jam on the way, and by the time i reached LS it was alreay 7 PM. Luckily i've met a friend there and he agreed to give me company in my shopping.

I have started my search for the top, which i was looking for... got one but it was not too great. So i thought i will look for a better one, but couldn't get any.
There are two other showrooms near by, so we thought we'll give a try there. We went to ShopperStop, but there was no big collection and nothing was great... atleast not of my taste. We returned and it started to rain by that time, but not heavily. We thought of going back to Life Style to buy that top which was looking ok. On our way back there was another showroom - Pantaloons. We went in to it. There was also a sale going on, and as u can expect the collection was not that great, may be bacause of the sale. But that place is a good choice for buying formals. After searching there for about 20 mins one person who works there showed us a top. It was good, and i've decided to take it. But then another person came and said that that was already bought by somebody else. And to my great luck, there was no second peice.
Hmm... We drove back to Lifestyle and bought that top finally. And also bought some earrings. By the time we came out of the showroom it was almost 10 PM.

I've called home to inform that am on the way and my Dad said they are going for some marriage function. So we've decided to have our dinner outside itself. By the time we finished our dinner it was almost 10 45. And from that place my house is around 10 KM away. I can go alone, but didn't want to take risk, so asked my friend to come with me till some nearest point. We both went by my scooty.
To our great luck, when we were almost near to my colony... my scooty's back tyre got punctured. It was on a high way but due to the odd hours, there was no single shop open to get it repaired. There was no choice left for us than to drag the scooty, till my house. But we both were already very tired and could not do it, hence parked it at a bank by road side and informed the watchman there. And went home by walk from there. He gave me company till my house and retured back. By that time it was 11 45 PM. My poor friend had to again walk back till mainroad. He took a bus from there, and it was around 12 15 by the time he reached home.

I felt guilty for dragging him into all this :(
Sorry my friend. The only mistake you did was to agree for giving me company, and for that you had to bear all these.

I should thank you for being there with me, otherwise i wouldn't know what to do at that hour with that punctured scooty on the highway. Thanks dear!

Mein aur Meri Shopping - Part I

2006-08-10T17:08:00.000+05:30

Yesterday i have decided to go for shopping to buy a top. Was thinking where to shop and one of my colleuges suggested Central. She said there is a sale going on and the collection also is huge and good. Central is never my choice to shop as i never got anything there that i wanted. But as she said so, i've decided to try my luck for this time.

Had left office early with another colleague, around 5 30PM. She wanted to go her home once before going for shopping. It started to rain when we were almost near her home. She said "we'll park the scooty at her place and take an auto. By the time we return, it would stop raining and i can return home on my bike." I said "ok" though i didn't like the plan much(I prefer/like to drive). It almost stopped raining when we left her home, but we still went by auto.
It was 7 when we reached Central. Our plan was to complete shopping by 8 30, but it was 9 when we came out. As usual i didn't get anything what i wanted, but still ended up spending some Rs.500/- on some cosmetics, which i didn't plan for.We came out and started to look for an auto. It's not any tough to get an auto in Hyd, if you are ready to pay the amount they ask for. 30% of the auto drivers here love their auto meters very much and don't prefer to strain them much. Hence they themselves does the job of deciding the fair.
Believe me... we were standing on the road for 30 mins to get an auto, and it is one of the busiest junctions in Hyd!!It was really a surprise for me. We were ready to pay the fair howmuch ever they demand for, but still no one was ready to come, for some strange reason. The place where we had to go, is hardly 2KM away from the road we were standing on. We ended up asking some n no. of autos, but all of them preferred to go with empty seats. I was feeling hungry and was getting leg and back pains for standing so long. My colleague started to regret her plan of going by an auto. There were few other people praying on the road for an auto. I, now, know the importance of an auto, which i never realized!

Finally, one person(must've been an angel!) had agreed to come for the fair of Rs.30/-. It was too much for a distance of 2KM, but its ok...Thank God! At last we got in to the auto, and i could catch the expressions of those who were still praying there.
Aahhhh! Know how a Sugar patient who is not eating any sweets for years, will feel if we offer a Jangri to him...

Oh my dear great auto drivers! i bow to you all!

Priorities change with time.

2006-07-05T23:00:00.001+05:30

Just wondering how fast can things change.

Something ,which was so precious, important and loveable till sometime back, is now nothing. Simply nothing.
Something, which was not wrong till sometime back, is now suddenly turned as a mistake.
Something, which you craved for in the past, is now simply avoidable.
Something, which you termed as your treasure, is now your liability.

"Is this self-realization? or was that just a play?"
Have you ever been in a situation where you had to ask this question to yourself or to someone?

Do you ever think something like this is possible at all?
It is very much possible... both with things and with people.

Priorities change with time.

Here is one of my all time favorites...

Please Forgive Me

It still feels like our first night together
Feels like the first kiss and it's gettin' better baby
No one can better this
I'm still holdin' on and you're still the one
The first time our eyes met - it's the same feelin' i get
Only feels much stronger - i wanna love ya longer
You still turn the fire on...

So if you're feelin' lonely ... don't
You're the only one I'd ever want
I only wanna make it good
So if I love ya a little more than i should...

Please forgive me - i know not what i do
Please forgive me - i can't stop lovin' you
don't deny me - this pain i'm going through
Please forgive me - if i need ya like i do
Please believe me - every word i say is true
Please forgive me - i can't stop lovin' you

Still feels like our best times are together
Feels like the first touch
We're still gettin' closer baby
Can't get close enough
I'm still holdin' on - you're still number one
I remember the smell of your skin
I remember everything
I remember all your moves - i remember you
I remember the nights - ya know i still do

So if you're feeling lonely... don't
You're the only one i'd ever want
I only wanna make it good
So if I love ya a little more than i should

Please forgive me - i know not what i do
Please forgive me - i can't stop lovin' you
Don't deny me - this pain i'm going through
Please forgive me - if i need ya like i do
Please believe me - every word i say is true
Please forgive me - i can't stop lovin' you

One thing i'm sure of - is the way we make love
And the one thing i depend on
Is for us to stay strong
With every word and every breath i'm prayin'
That's why i'm sayin'...

Please forgive me - i know not what i do
Please forgive me - i can't stop lovin' you
Don't deny me - this pain i'm going through
Please forgive me - if i need ya like i do
Never leave me - i don't know what i'd do
Please forgive me - i can't stop lovin' you

Back into game

2006-06-15T21:28:00.000+05:30

Yes, am back. Nothing great ofcourse.
First things first...
Why did i leave the blog world?
No great reason to mention actually. I just realized(?) that all that am writing here is nothing but crap. Why to waste my time in writing crap and others' time in reading that. It makes no sense. So stopped blogging.
Good enough. Then why did i come back again?
I, now, again realized that all this crap is needed to divert myself from the usual tensions that i face both at work and at home (is it convincing?) ;)

So finally the conclusion from this confused story is that... you have to bear me again :p

Logging Off...!

2006-01-25T17:08:00.000+05:30

Hello all,
You might've noticed me not being active in blog world for quite some time. One reason for that is being a little busy with few things at work and as well as in my personal life.
These days am trying to concentrate more on one of my favourite hobbies. But that's of no reason to stop blogging.

Well... i decided to stop blogging, for no specific reason. Not sure if this will be for a period of time or forever. I might comeup with something later at some point of time, if i feel like blogging again. But i can't say when will that be, if it happens at all.

One implication of this would be... i mightn't follow all of your blogs, that i used to till now, closely. Hence less number of(or no) comments.

I wouldn't respond to comments for this post too.

Thank you Guys n Girls for all your kind comments on my posts, and for being good pals.

I wish you all a very good luck.

Good Bye.

Fantasy...

2006-01-04T12:02:00.000+05:30

a place where we can go whenever we want

a place where we can have whatever we want

a place where we can meet whomever we want

a place where we can dream however we want

some times it's the only relief that we get when we are fully occupied with wired thoughts

some times it's the only joy that drives away all the darkness around

and some times it gives us the motivation that we need, to make our dreams true!

If a drop of water falls on lake, it loses its identity.

If it falls on a Rose, it shines.

If it falls on a Shell, it becomes a pearl.

Drop is same but the company matters…

It's amazing how the simple is not so simple and the obvious is not so obvious.

Also, when we've been wrong nine times, we don't trust ourselves anymore and even when truth is presented to us, because of past failures, we doubt the obvious

...we doubt us.

Don't let past failures convince you that you can't be right, that you can't do it, that success isn't destined for you.

We don't fail because we don't succeed,
we fail because we quit,
believing that we can't win.

Four Questions

2005-12-22T09:02:00.000+05:30

There are only four questions of value in life.
What is sacred?
Of what is the spirit made?
What is worth living for?
What is worth dying for?
The answer to each is the same.

Only love.

~From the movie, "Don Juan DeMarco"

Love ... need not be the love that many of us come across in teanage! It can be any. Like our love for God, our love for our parents, our love for our friends or our love for ourselves!
It's just a pure feeling that we have for somebody!

The ability to see beauty in all is a trait that we all need, we just need our motives pure.

Hold your toungue!!

2005-12-19T11:51:00.000+05:30

I got this phrase of Bible from one of my teammates, who used to tease someone or the other always and later regret for doing so...

"When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by
a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by human beings, but no one can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers and sisters, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither
can a salt spring produce fresh water."

I miss you

Fourth Window

2005-12-07T15:18:00.000+05:30

One of my close friends used to say that my fourth window seems to be big. But i feel the same for the second window.
For those who couldn't understand what am talking about, here is the explanation. This is not something defined and stated somewhere but it is something which we both(me and my friend) used to discuss about, most of the times. This is about a person's personality.

Every person has four windows to his/her personality.
First window tells what you know about yourself and what others also know about yourself. Second window tells what you know about yourself and what others doesn't know.
Third window tells what others know about yourself but you doesn't know.
Finally, the fourth window tells what you don't know about yourself neither do others.

To me, second window is very much interesting and i like to keep it big. That doesn't mean that am an introvert. At the same time am not an extrovert too!!
What i know about myself and others dosen't know is lot more compared to what others know about me. Thats what i feel atleast. And i wish to be like that. There are hell lot of things in my life which i never shared with anyone. I have very less number of friends whom with i share most of the things, if not everything. But none of them know me enough, neither do i except them to.
What others know about myself and i doesn't konw... only others can tell about this. Most of the things that i hear from others about me... i already know. So that doesn't come here. Till now noone said anything about me that i doesn't know. Am still waiting to know about my third window... so that i know myself better!
What i know about myself and what others also know... nothing much to say about this as everyone knows ;).
What i don't know about myself neither do others... can't say anything about this as this is about what i don't know about myself :).

The Assumption

2005-12-02T15:48:00.000+05:30

A man, exiting a grocery store, was very surprised when a rather good-looking and perky young lady greeted him cheerfully by saying "Good Evening."

Her face was beaming. At least she was smiling until he gave her that "Who are you?" look. He couldn't remember having ever seen her before.

Then, she obviously realized that a mistake had been made and apologized.

She explained, "Oh, I'm so sorry. When I first saw you I thought you were the father of one of my children."
She walked on her way into the store.

The man was left staring dumbfounded after her.
More than a bit puzzled, he thought to himself, "What is the world coming to, an attractive woman who doesn't even keep track of what the father of her children look like."

However, he was also a bit flattered that he might resemble one of her former suitors. But, also hoped that nobody overheard her saying that she mistook him for being the father of one of her children.

A bit panicked, he then thought, "Could I possibly have forgotten a relationship? Could it be that I really fathered a child?"

Still stunned, he walked to his car.

He still did not realize, of course,

that she was a fifth-grade teacher at a local elementary school.

The Dog and The Leopard

2005-11-30T14:22:00.000+05:30

A wealthy man decided to go on a safari in Africa. He took his faithful pet dog along for company. One day the dog starts chasing butterflies and before long he discovers that he is lost. So, wandering about he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the obvious intention of having lunch.
The dog thinks, "Boy, I'm in deep doo doo now."
Then he noticed some bones on the ground close by, and immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat.
Just as the leopard is about to leap, the dog exclaims loudly, "Man, that was one delicious leopard. I wonder if there are any more around here?" Hearing this the leopard halts his attack in mid stride, as a look of terror comes over him, and slinks away into the trees.
"Whew," says the leopard, "That was close. That dog nearly had me."
Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard.
So, off he goes. But the dog saw him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figured that something must be up. The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard.
The leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine."
Now the dog sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back, and thinks, "What am I going to do now?"
But instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers pretending he hasn't seen them yet.
Just when they get close enough to hear, the dog says,
"Where's that monkey. I just can never trust him.
I sent him off half an hour ago to bring me another leopard, and he's still not back!!"

When The Truth Hurts

2005-11-29T14:22:00.000+05:30

One day while a family sat in the den, the youngest son who had just turned two, took a plastic child's bowling pin, turned it upside down and hit his two older brothers in the head with it.

Both his mother and father were in the room at the time, mother chose to handle this one and father chose to let her.

She took little son and had a talk with him.
Father listened in, intrigued at how this was going to go.

His mother asked him, "What were you thinking hitting your brothers in the head with that pin?"

"Were you trying to get in trouble?"
He answered "No."

"Did they do something to you that you were trying to get back at them for?"
He answered, "No."

"Are you playing some kind of game that requires you to hit them in the head?"
He answered, "No."

"Do you just need some attention?"
He answered, "No."

Frustrated and tired mother had given up on her questions and the father's curiosity was just about to explode.

She figured she had better let him say why so she asked him, "Well why did you hit your brothers in the head with a bowling pin?"

Father had already made up in his mind, honey this is a waste of time, maybe daddy should have handled this one. A child barely two doesn't understand all of these questions and can't give you an intelligent answer.
Just then the little son looked at his mother with the astuteness of a Ph.D. and answered the question as honestly as anyone have ever heard a two-year-old answer.

"Because I like it."

*****

PS : We as adults many times make all kinds of excuses of why we behave the way we do. Sometimes we just need to be honest with ourselves and admit that we do some things in life simply because we like it.

Can you do all these !!?

2005-11-29T09:54:00.000+05:30

If you can start the day without caffeine or pep pills,
If you can be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat the same food everyday and be grateful for it,
If you can understand when loved ones are too busy to give you time,
If you can overlook when people take things out on you when, through no fault of yours, something goes wrong,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can face the world without lies and deceit,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without liquor,
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs

If you can do all these things,

THEN YOU ARE PROBABLY THE FAMILY DOG :p

Love & Marriage

2005-11-28T09:18:00.000+05:30

A student asks a teacher: What is love?

The teacher said: in order to answer your question, go to the paddy field and choose the biggest paddy and come back.
But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick.

The student went to the field, go thru first row, he saw one big paddy, but he wonders....may be there is a bigger one later. Then he saw another bigger one... but may be there is an even bigger one waiting for him.Later, when he finished more than half of the paddy field, he start to realize that the paddy is not as big as the previous one he saw, he know he has missed the biggest one, and he regretted. So, he ended up went back to the teacher with empty hand.

The teacher told him, this is love... you keep looking for a better one,but when later you realize, you have already miss the person

The student asked: What is marriage then?

The teacher said: In order to answer your question, go to the corn field and choose the biggest corn and come back.
But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick.

The student went to the corn field, this time he is careful not to repeat the previous mistake, when he reach the middle of the field, he has picked one medium corn that he felt satisfied, and came back to the teacher.

The teacher told him, this time you bring back a corn.... you look for one that is just nice, and you have faith and believe this is the best one you get.... this is marriage.

Enhancing Relationships

2005-11-18T11:53:00.000+05:30

TRUST is a very important factor for all relationships. When trust is broken, it is the end of the relationship. Lack of trust leads to suspicion, suspicion generates anger, anger causes enmity and enmity may result in separation.
A telephone operator told me that one day she received a phone call. She answered, "Public Utilities Board." There was silence. She repeated, "PUB." There was still no answer. When she was going to cut off the line, she Heard a lady's voice, "Oh, so this is PUB.Sorry, I got the number from my Husband's pocket but I do not know whose number it is." Without mutual trust, just imagine what will happen to the couple if the telephone operator answered with just "hello" instead of "PUB".

NO POINTING FINGERS

A man asked his father-in-law, "Many people praised you for a successful marriage. Could you please share with me your secret?"
The father-in-law answered in a smile, "Never criticize your wife for her shortcomings or when she does something wrong. Always bear in mind that because of her shortcomings and weaknesses, she could not find a better husband than you."
We all look forward to being loved and respected. Many people are afraid of losing face. Generally, when a person makes a mistake, he would look around to find a scapegoat to point the finger at. This is the start of a war. We should always remember that when we point one finger at a person, the other four fingers are pointing at ourselves.
If we forgive the others, others will ignore our mistake too.

CREATING PERFECT RELATIONSHIPS?

A person visited the government matchmaker for marriage, SDU, and requested "I am looking for a spouse. Please help me to find a suitable one." The SDU officer said, "Your requirements, please." "Oh, good looking, polite, humorous , sporty, knowledgeable, good in singing and dancing. Willing to accompany me the whole day at home during my leisure hour, if I don't go out. Telling me interesting stories when I need companion for conversation and be silent when I want to rest." The officer listened carefully and replied, "I understand you need television."
There is a saying that a perfect match can only be found between a blind wife and a deaf husband ,because the blind wife cannot see the faults of the husband and the deaf husband cannot hear the nagging of the wife. Many couples are blind and deaf at the courting stage and dream of perpetual perfect relationship. Unfortunately, when the excitement of love wears off, they wake up and discover that marriage is not a bed of roses. The nightmare begins.

NO OVERPOWERING

Many relationships fail because one party tries to overpower another,or demands too much. People in love tend to think that love will conquer all and their spouses will change the bad habits after marriage. Actually, this is not the case. There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "It is easier to reshape a mountain or a river than a person's character."
It is not easy to change. Thus, having high expectation on changing the spouse character will cause disappointment and unpleasantness.
It would be less painful to change ourselves and lower our expectations.

RIGHT SPEECH

There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "A speech will either prosper or ruin a nation." Many relationships break off because of wrong speech. When a couple is too close with each other,we always forget mutual respect and courtesy. We may say anything without considering if it would hurt the other party.
A friend and her millionaire husband visited their construction site. A worker who wore a helmet saw her and shouted,"Hi, Emily! Remember me? We used to date in the secondary school." On the way home, her millionaire husband teased her, "Luckily you married me.Otherwise you will be the wife of a construction worker." She answered ,"You should appreciate that you married me. Otherwise, he will be the millionaire and not you."
Frequently exchanging these remarks plants the seed for a bad relationship. It's like a broken egg - cannot be reversed.

PERSONAL PERCEPTION

Different people have different perception. One man's meat could be another man's poison. A couple bought a donkey from the market. On the way home,a boy commented, "Very stupid. Why neither of them ride on the donkey?"Upon hearing that, the husband let the wife ride on the donkey. He walked besides them. Later, an old man saw it and commented, "The husband is the head of family. How can the wife ride on the donkey while the husband is on foot?" Hearing this, the wife quickly got down and let the husband ride on the donkey.
Further on the way home, they met an old Lady. She commented, "How can the man ride on the donkey but let the wife walk. He is no gentleman."
The husband thus quickly asked the wife to join him on the donkey. Then, they met a young man. He commented, "Poor donkey, how can you hold up the weight of two persons. They are cruel to you." Hearing that, the husband and wife immediately climbed down from the donkey and carried it on their shoulders.
It seems to be the only choice left. Later, on a narrow bridge, the donkey was frightened and struggled. They lost their balance and fell into the river. You can never have everyone praise you, nor will everyone condemn you. Never in the past, not at present, and never will be in the future.
Thus, do not be too bothered by others words if our conscience is clear

BE PATIENT

This is a true story which happened in the States. A man came out of his home to admire his new truck. To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint of the truck. The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's hands into pulp as punishment. When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital. Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to amputate the fingers from both the boy's hands. When the boy woke up from the surgery & saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, " Daddy,I'm sorry about your truck." Then he asked, "but when are my fingers going to grow back?" The father went home & committed suicide.
Think about this story the next time someone steps on your feet or u wish to take revenge. Think first before u lose your patience with someone u love. Trucks can be repaired.. Broken bones & hurt feelings often can't. Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and the performance. We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge.
People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever.

Objectives and Actions !!

2005-11-16T16:53:00.000+05:30

During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what is the criteria that defines a patient to be institutionalised.

"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, we offer a teaspoon, aTeacup, and a bucket to the patient and ask the patient to empty theBath tub."
1. Would you use the spoon?
2. Would you use the teacup?
3. Would you use the bucket?

"Oh, I understand," said the visitor.
"A normal person would choose theBucket as it is larger than the spoon. "

"No," answered the Director.
"A normal person would pull the plug."

He flunked..........There is a difference between an objective and actions! Unless you understand your objective; you will be wasting your time in your actions.
Know your objective first and follow it with relevant actions

We are like this visitor who answers wrongly to the question. Should always think about this message whenever we are away from our goals in life.

Very true if we could relate to our present day worries and miseries..........

The Waves

2005-11-14T14:59:00.000+05:30

One moment you have shortage. . .
The next you have excess. . .

One day you have nothing to do. . .
The next you don't have time to get it all done. . .

One day the refrigerator is empty and you are hungry. . .
The next you have a half eaten meal in front of you and you are stuffed. . .

One month you've got money to spare and you wonder what to buy
The next you've got a bounced check. . .

One moment you are full of energy and can't go to sleep. . .
The next you are drained and can't get up. . .

One day you are the center of attention. . .
The next you wonder if anyone knows you are alive. . .

It's the waves of life.
They carry us up and down and all around.
Money, friends, your relationships, your job and the rest of the list, they all vary. They all go in waves.
Life is full of stuff. I wouldn't trade my life with anyone, it's one of the most blessed that I know, but it's still full of stuff. One thing after another, one challenge after another, one situation after another, day by day, never-ending . . .
It's the waves and there is no stopping them from the outside.
You can only calm the inside, so that like a submarine, you ride deep beneath the waves.
Though a storm is raging, you are at peace.
Most are tossed and turned by waves.
Some like the sub, ride deep beneath the daily storms in peace.
Some simply surf the waves and have a lot of fun.
Some drown.
You can't stop the waves; it's the nature of the ocean of life.
You can only choose which method you will use to handle them.
You can be tossed like most.
You can drown like many.
You can surf and have fun while you can, but even a surfer gets tired and there's nowhere to sleep on a surfboard.
To ride comfortably beneath the waves requires a ship containing breath that is not our own.

That ship. . .
. . . is not crowded.

A grandmother was walking along on the beach with her young grandson when a giant wave washed over the beach. She looked and her grandson was gone, carried away by the wave.

She fell down on her knees and began praying vigorously.

"Lord PLEASE send my grandson back! PLEASE!!!"

In the next few seconds another giant wave washed over the beach and there lie her grandson, stunned but otherwise fine.

The grandmother looked at him then looked up to heaven and said,

"He was wearing a hat!"

I always wanted to have someone to hold, someone to love. And now that you've come into my life...
I've changed my mind.

I must admit, you brought religion into my life...
I never believed in Hell until I met you.

As the days go by, I think how lucky I am....
That you're not here to ruin it for me .

Happy Birthday! You look great for your age....
Almost lifelike!

When we were together, you said you'd die for me...
Now we've broken up, I think it's time to keep your promise.

You are such a good friend. If we were on a sinking ship and there was only one life jacket...
I'd miss you terribly and think of you often .

Looking back over the years that we have been together, I can't help but wonder.....
What the hell was I thinking

I'm so miserable without you...
It's almost like you're still here.

Thank you for being part of my life.....
I never knew what evil was until I met you!

How can I say this....
Your cooking kills me

I just want you to know that I'm sorry for what happened...
Especially since you survived.

Congrats on getting married...
It's not everyday you decide to ruin your life.

Someday I hope to marry...
Someone other than you.

We have been friends for a very long time...
What do you say we stop?

Are you a Reason, a Season, or a Lifetime?

People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When we figure out which one it is, we will know what to do for each person.

REASON:

When someone is in our life for a REASON. . .
It is usually to meet a need we have expressed. They have come to assist us through a difficulty, to provide us with guidance and support, to aid us physically, emotionally, or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend, and they are! They are there for the reason we need them to be.

Then, without any wrong doing on our part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.

Sometimes they die.
Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force us to take a stand.

What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. And now it is time to move on.

SEASON:

When people come into our life for a SEASON it is because our turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They bring us an experience of peace or make us laugh. They may teach us something we have never done. They usually give us an unbelievable amount of joy.
But, only for a season.

LIFETIME:

LIFETIME relationships teach us lifetime lessons; things we must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.

Our job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what we have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of our life.

It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

As someone said...
Work like you don't need the money.
Dance like no one is watching.
And love like you've never been hurt.

Grand Date :-)

2005-08-04T18:46:00.000+05:30

Grandpa and Grandma always got very excited when they recalled the old days they were together.
They made a decision, one day to make it "yesterday once more". They made a date on the river bank they used to go when they were young.
The next day, Grandpa got up at 6 a.m. in the morning, dashed to thebank, picked up a big bunch of wild flowers before sunrise, waited there for his sweetheart to come. But Grandpa ended up being disappointed as Grandma never showed up even after sunset.
Grandpa went home in such an anger. He opened the door and saw Grandma lying on the sofa with her pillow. He threw the flowers on the floor and questioned: "Why didn't you come to our date?!!"
Grandma hid her head in the pillow and replied shyly: "Mom didn't allow me to go..."

"When we were young kids growing up in America, we were told to eat our
vegetables at dinner and not leave them. Mothers said, 'think of the
starving children in India and finish the dinner.'

And now I tell my children: 'Finish your maths homework. Think of the
children in India who would make you starve, if you don't.'

One thing that comes out in myths is that at the bottom of the abyss comes the voice of salvation.

The darkest moment is the moment when the real message of transformation is going to come.

At the darkest moment comes the light.

A Glimpse Into the Future

"Invasion"

This novel offers a look into the unthinkable future ,sure,a bit far-fetched but nevertheless a pretty good read.As the title puts it ’a deadly threat to life on earth from the icy vastness of outer space’.
Mysteriously,one night,electronic equipment of all kinds begin to spark and explode throughout the city.The next morning the city is covered with countless strange black discs scattered everywhere.A college student,Beau Stark is among the first to pick up one of the discs.He encounters a sharp pain,like a bee-sting and gradually becomes infected.His flu-like symptoms signify the revival of an ancient alien virus implanted millions of years ago in mankind’s genetic code-and since then lying dormant until the hosts are sufficiently developed,that is,until now.Meanwhile,all over the nation,people and other creatures succumb to the same virus and start to behave in a bizarre fashion,as if controlled by an alien intelligence.
Beau Stark gradually assumes leadership of these infected people,his college friends realise that something truly horrifying is happening around them.As they struggle to piece together the puzzle,they soon become the prey to these group of predators.Meanwhile,on their shoulders lies the burden of saving all humanity and time is running out,fast...
Robin Cook has a strange knack of keeping you engrossed in the book.Its no less in this particular novel.One of those books which you just cant stop reading until you finish.A really good read.

I have never met a person whose greatest need was
anything other than real, unconditional love. You can
find it in a simple act of kindness toward somone who
needs help. There is no mistaking love. You feel it in
your heart. It is the common fiber of life, the flame
that heals our soul, energizes our spirit and supplies
passion to our lives. It is our connection to God and
to each other.

~ Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
