Always know your objective first.*

During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director, "what is
the criteria that defines a patient to be institutionalized? "

"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, we offer a teaspoon, a
teacup, and a bucket to the patient and ask the patient to empty the
bathtub."

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 the
bucket as it is larger than the spoon."

No," answered the Director. "A normal person would pull the drain 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, think out of the box to full fill the objectives.

*Always know your objective first.*

A
lady in a faded grey dress and her husband, dressed in a homespun suit walked in timidly without an appointment into the Harvard University President's outer office.

The secretary could tell in a moment that such backwoods, country hicks had no business at Harvard and probably didn't even deserve to be in Harvard.

'We want to see the President,' the man said softly. 'He'll be busy all day,' the secretary snapped. 'We'll wait,' the lady replied.

For hours the secretary ignored them, hoping that the couple would finally become discouraged and go away.

They didn't and the secretary grew frustrated and finally decided to disturb the president.' Maybe if you see them for a few minutes, they'll leave,' she said to him.

The President, stern faced and with dignity, strutted toward the couple. The lady told him, 'We had a son who attended Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was happy here. But about a year ago, he was accidentally killed.

My husband and I would like to erect a memorial to him, somewhere on campus.' The president wasn't touched....

He was shocked. 'Madam,' he said, gruffly, 'we can't put up a statue for every person who attended Harvard and died. If we did, this place would look like a cemetery.

'Oh, no,' the lady explained quickly. 'We don't want to erect a statue. We thought we would like to give a building to Harvard.' The president rolled his eyes. He glanced at the gingham dress and homespun suit, and then exclaimed, 'A building!'

Do you have any earthly idea how much a building costs? We have over seven and a half million dollars in the physical buildings here at Harvard.

'For a moment the lady was silent. The president was pleased. Maybe he could get rid of them now.

The lady turned to her husband and said quietly, 'Is that all it costs to start a university? Why don't we just start our own?' Her husband nodded.

The president's face wilted in confusion and bewilderment. Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford got up and walked away, traveling to Palo Alto, California where they established the University that bears their name - Stanford University, a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about.

Most of the time we judge people by their outer appearance, which can be misleading, and in this impression only we tend to treat people badly by thinking they can do nothing for us thus we tend to loose our potential good friends, employees or customers.

Are you ready for marriage... 3 ways to find it out..

I find this very interesting...Must read it...

This one is for all those, who have been bluffed by their partners, that they are ready for the Big 'M'. Believe me you can always fool yourself to think that you are, but there are some Scientific Techniques of finding out the truth.

So it's simple now, just follow any of these listed techniques, and find it for yourself.

1: The Room Trap Technique

Technique Summary: This is a very easy and efficient way to find out.
Here's how you can do it.

One fine day enter into your bedroom, take a big iron lock, and lock your
room from inside. and then throw the key outside from the window. make
sure that you don't have anything of interest with you in the room. No
laptops, mobile,etc...

Now if you are able to stay in that room, without any problem, till
someone discovers that you have been in that room for last 2 days, without
any food, water and entertainment. It means that you are ready to Go!

Else, if you start feeling TRAPPED! and you start crying for help, you
want to get out, but you have no key and you feel helpless....then you
have got it, it's what the marriage is all about! stay away from it

2: The Credit Card Abuse Technique

Technique Summary: On one fine day go to a busy market street, and drop
your credit card on the road and you are all set, just come back to home.
and sit relaxed for month, and wait for your credit card statement to
come.

Now please go through the bill and details of how your credit card got
abused. If you can take all this and still smile and are in position to
pay the bill, then you are ready! just say those words "I do"

Else please understand that your credit card will be abused like this for
the rest of your life, and you will have to take all this with a smile on
your face. so think twice before you do the DO!

3: The Chewing Gum Technique

Technique Summary: A very simple, quick but effective technique. Go to
your nearest super store and buy a single chewing gum. Now put into your
mouth and start chewing it, enjoy the sweet flavored juices, which will
flow in your mouth for sometime, then the chewing will start turning
tasteless, and bland. now you will be tempted to spit the gum and replace
with a fresh one. so the real test starts now. You have to keep chewing
that gum for the rest of the day. no sweetness, no artificial flavors, no
juices, Just a piece of rubber in your mouth.

If you can do it successfully, then the gates of marriage are open and
also welcoming you in. Else, some relationships can become like a stale
chewing gum, and you have to get used to them, before you get into them.


Hope the above mentioned techniques, will help you in take this important
decision of life. These techniques are certified by ISO 2008 Indian Govt
Quality Process. Please note that the govt. officials were not bribed to
get this done!

For God sake dont let this anger die

I got this mail from GOONJ(NGO).And after reading this i wanted to share this to all of you...and inspite of sending mail i thought it is the broad spectrum to share this...That's why i pasted this here....its really a worth reading.......

Dear Friends,

We are smart, impulsive, self-centered people .. What a way to describe ourselves .. but if we see the reaction to Mumbai terror and a series of sms and mails going around, we don't look like this .. we seem to be very responsible citizens, fighting every moment for our rights and committed for a change .. Critisizing every single person in the government & the system ..

After a few days - a new cricket series will change the priorities for the media, the newspapers will come out with half page luring and attractive advertisements for Christmas and New Year eve celebrations. When our children will get a winter break and we'll start exploring the best deals for Manali & Shimla and we'll be worried again for our performance in our respective offices ..

But what about the quintals of wax we burnt to show our solidarity, the disgust, the call for change, millions of sms of hatred against the political system which made the mobile companies a few crore richer or the series of endless chain mails of saluting jawans and throwing bricks on politicians and systems ..

And what about intellectuals who suggested boycott of polls and the system, as a solution to get rid of these dirty politicians & I salute these intellectuals; what a suggestion.. Dont fight- run away .. go and have a picnic but dont vote .. ESCAPE & since every single person you vote for does not deserve it.. Let s create a vacuum .. Let the country be governed by the people from their drawing rooms or coffee homes ..

I often feel why do we always need a disaster to wake up, that too for a few days? Why dont we understand that there are certain disasters, which remain with us, which have become a part of our life BUT we dont want to work on those since we are too comfortable in our cocoon ..

We would probably send a hate mail to anyone who said we are the most self-centered people on this earth. When we find our house full of mosquitoes we bring a good night, if that doesnt work  we bring a spray, BUT when the municipality guy comes and fines us Rs.500/- for leaving some water in our cooler, in the name of breeding mosquito-do we ever question them on the drains maintained by them, with millions of mosquitoes & If you want water you buy a bottle or a cane, if you want in bulk you fix up an expensive RO system. Ironically the government sells its own
brand of packaged water .. Have we ever questioned  why is the tap water not drinkable? The water bill doesnt say -  bill for washing and bathing water so why should we pay separately for drinking water?

Good for us since we can afford all this .. I guess one of the reasons we the rich, the middle class dont fight all these things is because we have no moral right since we are the ones responsible for
many of these evils. How many poor people kill each other in over speeding cars? How many poor people have the confidence to jump red lights and break traffic rules since bribing a traffic cop Rs 100/- is the easy way out? How many poor people do you see standing in the middle of the road and throwing tantrums, blocking the traffic if another car make a small scratch on their vehicle and how many have motorbikes to overtake from the left at high speed??? For most of us showing concern about the country and its people means sending a chain mail of a well designed power-point, giving some ugly details or sending a series of smsand we the responsible citizens adhere to our responsibility by sending it further and &&. further.

For GODs sake please remember mere thoughts are not enough for this country to change .. What we need is an action & an initiative & means you need to add an action to a thought .. There is no dearth of people who have opinions, thoughts, and suggestions but how many of us take an initiative to do something on the field? How many of us are ready to act & Why do we need an incident or a drama to react? When the media shows dramatic pictures of a child drowning in a manhole, our highly responsible media and new breed of breaking news journalists break the news and all of us are ready to help .. but what about thousands of unnoticed open gutters across the country and scores of people falling in them .. a father throws his child in the river due to
poverty and you get a new national news- but what about millions of children dying or deserted in similar conditions? 

How many of us know that 62 children of Korku tribe in just one block of Khandwa district in MP recently died of malnutrition .. due to lack of a few kgs of basic food material .. and what have we done ..

How many of us are raising a voice against the callous and highly unprofessional attitude of most of the electronic media, where a 20 years old so called journalist with no background knowledge shows you the live commentary of Mumbai attacks with most important- first ever visuals of blood soaked faces of dead terrorists & mutilated bodies. I remember in my mass communication days there was a chapter on ethics in journalism and we often used to hate the preaching but to score marks we had to read .. and these days when most selections are based on ones acting abilities and voice quality instead of your journalistic knowledge, who thinks of ethics ? But, have we ever told the channel guys that well boycott your channel if you keep showing these dirty, misleading, dangerous and often fake stories ? 

Why dont we put pressure on the authorities to cut the electricity to hundreds of offices and houses of big people for not paying their electricity bills for years.. When the same authorities fine us for a delay of two days.. Why dont we ask the municipality the reason behind breaking the same footpath or road ten times in a year and rebuilding & what about the police stations across the country where we feel scared, to go and file a report? Why are we not raising the issue of police reforms and forcing our police to pay attention to the safety and security of people rather than hounding trucks for the extra bribe money ..

Its time to get up, wake up & and change the way we do some things in our own lives. If you disagree with me on some points dont waste your energy in replying back or sending a chain mail .. work on the points you do agree on .. Its time to take a positive action. We cant spend time in criticizing the system, the bureaucracy, the administration and so on ...

We all know the realities and we also know that the people behind these failures are enjoying themselves. They know us well, they know how good we are in criticizing them from a distance. They also know that we are busy people, we are too involved in our personal lives, office etc. Top of all they know that we are impulsive and highly self centered people & If we are able to develop our own comfort zone, we will not confront with them for the life of others ..

I somehow see the biggest fault in ourselves, in the masses, in the so called middle/upper literate class .. We are not angry enough and even if we are, we dont express it at the right place ..

In every field we need reforms &. even if we forget about the theme of India as a developed nation or a shining vision of 2020 & first lets make it a normal nation where children stop dying due to lack of 100 grams of rice, where people are not forced to eat rats due to poverty, where a lady does not sell herself for 10/-, where countless people dont suffer due to lack of a piece of second hand cloth, where children dont have to walk 5 kms to school, with no notebook or
pencil. Where a women does not become a bonded labor for a saree, or a lady does not die due to non availability of a clean piece of cloth to use as a sanitary napkin, where a family get at least a few litre of drinking water a day or where we have the basic medical facility so that people stop suffering due to non availability of basic medicines like Crocin ..

And believe me there are good hopes and chances rather a surety that all this can be changed .. We all have a series of success stories to follow- we all know a number of people who have taken initiatives and have changed the lives of millions. We are also familiar and were there, standing with the families of Nitish Katara, Priyadarshini Mattoo and Jessica Lall. Many of you were writing, walking and protesting in the heat, lighting candles, putting pressures on the authorities and the system and we all saw the results .. It was our collective power that worked &

This is the time to do it all over again, the task is much bigger and the path is too long & this time our target is not a spoiled child of a politician or a senior officer or a few terrorists who take us for
ransom, this time we are talking about changing the system, the machinery, the way we all work and think.

And to start with, people like you and I need to start understanding our own power- the power to change. The value of our voice- the voice to scream on injustice, the responsibilities of a citizen- not just to live for self but to let people around also live .. 

Its time to start using some of our unwritten fundamental rights-to get angry, to question, to raise a voice, to ask and match it with a fundamental duty: To ACT &.

With hopes & lot of confidence in us !!!

Secret face of the Sphinx revealed

The Sphinx, one of Egypt's most famous monuments and an icon of the world, may be much older than thought.
A television documentary will this week probe the secrets of the Sphinx which towers over the Giza Plateau.
A new survey by geologist Colin Reader has put forward a radical new theory that the Sphinx might have originally had an entirely different face.
He says rainwater erosion on the Sphinx's enclosure is consistent with it being created before the first pyramid.
Historical architect Dr Jonathan Foyle believes the monument may have once had a much larger face. Visual effects artists have created digital images of what the Sphinx could have looked like.

Egyptologists believe the Sphinx was built shortly after the first pyramid 4,500 years ago by the pharaoh Khafre.

The new theory will be revealed in a Channel Five documentary on Thursday December 11 at 8pm made by Atlantic Productions.

In Search Of Peace

In last Post i wrote about Mumbai Terror Attack..i wanted to Continue That..But finally i dropped my idea.  There are too many posts , to many articles on this issues all over the net..so finally i decided  not to write anything about this...

But...Yes  i want to say something Like.. Either it is the first time or second time doesn't matter , we came together, we are united ,and i want this unity for forever, i want this type of rythym forever.If you all see the epsiode step wise you can easily identify how a common man get effected..But not only common man, this  time surprisingly  celebrities, and so many famous personalities are also  with us . Whatever be the reason..either its their consiousness about their security,about their life or may be some other reason..But they are with the general public...

And i want to add a point here that we shouldn't forget that a simple person, a common man can't  make the public crazy....each one doesn't having the capability to lead..only few can and rest are followers.....

So be with them without bothering about their status symbol. Finally what we need ..A simple 

peace...So keep it searching..till then bye bye...

Next Post will be from my memorable past......

Life is about correcting mistakes(A Short Story)

Hi guys....

I just want to share this story....Somewhere i read it and found very interesting and also influencing .....Just read this short story and definetely you will find something to think....

Rutali married Hitesh this day. At the end of the wedding party,
Rutali's mother gave her a newly opened bank saving passbook with Rs.1000 deposit amount.
Mother: 'Rutali, take this passbook. Keep it as a record of your marriage life.
When there's something happy and memorable happened in your new life, put some money in.
Write down what it's about next to the line. The more memorable the event is, the more money you can put in.
I've done the first one for you today. Do the others with Hitesh.
When you look back after years, you can know how much happiness you've had.'
Rutali shared this with Hitesh when getting home.
They both thought it was a great idea and were anxious to know when the second deposit can be made.
This was what they did after certain time:
- 7 Feb: Rs.100, first birthday celebration for Hitesh after marriage
- 1 Mar: Rs.300, salary raise for Rutali
- 20 Mar: Rs.200, vacation trip to Bali
- 15 Apr: Rs.2000, Rutali got pregnant
- 1 Jun: Rs.1000, Hitesh got promoted
..... and so on...
However, after years, they started fighting and arguing for trivial things. They didn't talk much.
They regretted that they had married the nastiest people in the world.... no more love...Kind of typical nowadays, huh?
One day Rutali talked to her Mother:
'Mom, we can't stand it anymore. We agree to divorce. I can't imagine how
I decided to marry this guy!!!'
Mother: 'Sure, girl, that's no big deal. Just do whatever you want if you really can't stand it. But before that, do one thing first.
Remember the saving passbook I gave you on your wedding day? Take out all money and spend it first.
You shouldn't keep any record of such a poor marriage.'
Rutali thought it was true. So she went to the bank, waiting at the queue and planning to cancel the account.
While she was waiting, she took a look at the passbook record. She looked, and looked, and looked.
Then the memory of all the previous joy and happiness just came up her mind. Her eyes were then filled with tears. She left and went home.
When she was home, she handed the passbook to Hitesh, asked him to spend the money before getting divorce.
The next day, Hitesh gave the passbook back to Rutali. She found a new deposit of Rs.5000.
And a line next to the record: 'This is the day I notice how much I've loved you thru out all these years. How much happiness you've brought me.'
They hugged and cried, putting the passbook back to the safe.
Do you know how much money they had saved when they retired? I did not ask. I believe the money did not matter any more after they had gone thru all the good years in their life.

"When you fall, in any way,
Don't see the place where you fell, instead see the place from where you slipped.
Life is about correcting mistakes."

Terror in Mumbai

As usual around 10.30 i came back from my office. My room mate shiv was watching the India-England one day match.After such a long time we are seeing a convincing series win for india.Really i don't remember when india won the series with a huge margin like this....anyway good india..make the habbit to win...lage raho india..lage raho.......

After that i was just browsing the news channels and the Breaking news was "Suicidal attack " in mumbai...Not again.....news report was saying that at least 16 men with loaded guns are spreaded all over the main and important places in mumbai and just opening fire on people.....Till posting this article around 15 people were injured and 10 people dead....

Till now You people got clear  news  about this incident.....i m not going to describe this as i m not a eyewitness......i just want to share my thoughts that when these things will stop? when?

when people feel free to safe to roam?when?

when there will be no incidents such like this?

Now its time around 11.55 pm and still firing is going on.....News channel are saying that there are 16 teams of millitants in the bombay....they are keep firing in CST KAMA HOSPITAL...

Just now news chanel are saying that 25 people dead in this firing....firing is going on in different places in mumbai....

And what will next? So many speeches we have to hear in comming one or two days...And the speach content will be as  usual same...."we will take the action","we are not going to tollerate this type of terror strike",...bla bla bla..........Apart from that they will announce   some compensations ......Will make this political issue....some party will blame the govt .....Security agencies will  reveal some millitant group name......and the whole matter will go to sleep mode.......That's it.....

General public will come back to track to cop up with their normal life.....As they used to do.....And apart from the family who suffered, others will forget this matter......

why?why things are like this?

Are we  missing any thing?

Are we  lacking behind somewhere?

Are we   well equipped to face the terrorism?

Does our social structure is not fair?not equal?

Why people among us forced to do these things?

Who will take care all these things? 

Who will going to make a bridge between social element and anti-social element?

Answer is we only..But How? Think..Think...definetly you will find the answer........

Continue.........
