వ్యవసాయం చేస్తే పెళ్లి చేసుకోం

2011-05-28T08:57:00.000+05:30

కాలం మారుతోంది..సామాజిక పరిస్థితులు మారుతున్నాయి. అయితే మారుతున్న తీరు కొన్నిసార్లు సమాజంలోని కొన్ని వర్గాలకు ఇబ్బందికరంగా తయారవుతుంది. సమాజానికి వ్యవసాయరంగం ఎంత ముఖ్యమైనదో అందరికీ తెలుసు. కానీ క్రమేపీ ఆ రంగం పట్ల ఆదరణ తగ్గుతోంది. వ్యవసాయం చేసేవారిని చిన్నచూపు చూస్తున్నారు. చివరకి పరిస్థితి ఏరకంగా వచ్చిందంటే వ్యవసాయం చేసే యువకులను పెళ్లి చేసుకోమని యువతులు చెప్పేంతవరకు వెళ్లింది. ఒకప్పుడు ఒక యువకుడు వెనుక ఎంత భూమి ఉందని చూసేవారు. ఇప్పుడు ఏ ఉద్యోగం చేస్తున్నాడు, ఎంత సంపాదిస్తున్నాడని చూస్తున్నారు. మరి అంతా ఉద్యోగాలకే వెళ్తే వ్యవసాయం ఎవరి చేయాలి? అకాల వర్షాలు, కరువు కాటకాలు , మద్ధతుధరలు వంటి సమస్యలతో సతమతమవుతున్న రైతుబిడ్డలకు తగిన జోడీ కూడా దొరకకపోవడం సమాజానికి మంచిదా అన్నది ఆలోచించాలి. విజయవాడలో వివాహబంధం అనే సంస్థ దీనిపై ఓ సర్వే నిర్వహించింది. ఏ వృత్తిలో ఉన్నవారిని వివాహమాడతారన్న ప్రశ్నకు ఆశ్చర్యకరమైన ఫలితం వచ్చింది. సర్వేలో పాల్గొన్నవారిలో కనీసం ఒక్కరు కూడా వ్యవసాయవృత్తి దారుణ్ని పెళ్లి చేసుకోవడానికి ప్రాధాన్యత ఇవ్వలేదు. పిల్లల తల్లిదండ్రులు కూడా ఇదే ధోరణితో ఉన్నారు. దాదాపు 200మందిని ఈ సంస్థ ప్రశ్నిస్తే, అందులో ఎక్కువగా సాఫ్ట్‌వేర్ ఇంజనీర్లు, తరువాత ప్రభుత్వ ఉద్యోగులకే మొగ్గుచూపారు. ఇలా మారిపోయింది మన సమాజం....Jai Jawan Jai Kisan

ప్రజల పిలుపే జగన్ గెలుపు

2011-05-14T00:38:00.000+05:30

చేతకాని ప్రభుత్వం, చావలేని ప్రతిపక్షం
ఇది కాదు ప్రజలు కోరుకునేది
వాళ్ళ కోసమే పుట్టాడు అనిపించాలి
అనుక్షణం వారితో కలసి నడవాలి
వారి పెదాలపై చిరునవ్వు కావాలి
వారి జీవితాల్లో వెలుగులు నింపే విశ్వాసం
మాటల్లో, చేతల్లో స్పష్టత
ఒక యువ చైతన్యం ఒక యువశక్తి,
ఒక ఆత్మీయ స్పర్శ, ఒక ఓదార్పు.

అదే నేర్పు అదే నడవడిక అదే విశ్వసనీయత
వేసే ప్రతి అడుగు ప్రజల జీవితాల్లో వెలుగులు నింపేందుకే
అందుకే ఇప్పటికి అదే ఆదరణ అదే అభిమానం.
తండ్రి బాటలోనే తనయుడు
బలం, బలహీనత రెండు ప్రజలే
అందుకే ప్రజల గుండెల్లో వారి స్థానం పదిలం
ఇప్పటికి.... ఎప్పటికి.............

ప్రజల గుండెల్లో నీ స్థానం సింహాసనం,
పాలకుల గుండెల్లో నువ్వు సింహస్వప్నం.
జనం కోసం జగన్ - జగన్ కోసం మనం

Industrialists vs Businessmen

2011-03-10T00:15:00.001+05:30

A news reporter asked Jamshedji as to why Tata's are not making as much money as Reliance.

He was said to have replied, “We are industrialists. They are businessmen.

What TATA did to 26/11 Mumbai victims?

Pl. do not delete. A must read Topic for all LET THE WORLD KNOW WHAT IS "CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY"?

THE NEWS WE DO NOT KNOW!

. The Tata Gesture
1. All category of employees including those who had completed even 1 day as casuals were treated on duty during the time the hotel was closed.
2. Relief and assistance to all those who were injured and killed
3. The relief and assistance was extended to all those who died at the railway station, surroundings including the “Pav- Bha ji” vendor and the pan shop owners.
4. During the time the hotel was closed, the salaries were sent by money order.
5. A psychiatric cell was established in collaboration with Tata Institute of Social Sciences to counsel those who needed such help.
6. The thoughts and anxieties going on people’s mind was constantly tracked and where needed psychological help provided.
7. Employee outreach centers were opened where all help, food, water, sanitation, first aid and counseling was provided. 1600 employees were covered by this facility.
8. Every employee was assigned to one mentor and it was that person’s responsibility to act as a “single window” clearance for any help that the person required.
9. Ratan Tata personally visited the families of all the 80 employees who in some manner – either through injury or getting killed – were affected.
10. The dependents of the employees were flown from outside Mumbai to Mumbai and taken care off in terms of ensuring mental assurance and peace. They were all accommodated in Hotel President for 3 weeks.
11. Ratan Tata himself asked the families and dependents – as to what they wanted him to do.
12. In a record time of 20 days, a new trust was created by the Tatas for the purpose of relief of employees.
13. What is unique is that even the other people, the railway employees, the police staff, the pedestrians who had nothing to do with Tatas were covered by compensation. Each one of them was provided subsistence allowance of Rs. 10K per month for all these people for 6 months.
14. A 4 year old granddaughter of a vendor got 4 bullets in her and only one was removed in the Government hospital. She was taken to Bombay hospital and several lacs were spent by the Tatas on her to fully recover her.
15. New hand carts were provided to several vendors who lost their carts.
16. Tata will take responsibility of life education of 46 children of the victims of the terror.
17. This was the most trying period in the life of the organisation.
Senior managers including Ratan Tata were visiting funeral to funeral over the 3 days that were most horrible.
18. The settlement for every deceased member ranged from Rs. 36 to 85 lacs
[One lakh rupees tranlates to approx 2200 US $ ] in addition to the following benefits:

a. Full last salary for life for the family and dependents;

b. Complete responsibility of education of children and dependents – anywhere in the world.

c. Full Medical facility for the whole family and dependents for rest of their life.

d. All loans and advances were waived off – irrespective of the amount.

e. Counselor for life for each person

B. Epilogue

How was such passion created among the employees? How and why did they behave the way they did?

The organisation is clear that it is not something that someone can take credit for. It is not some training and development that created such behaviour. If someone suggests that – everyone laughs

It has to do with the DNA of the organisation, with the way Tata culture exists and above all with the situation that prevailed that time. The organization has always been telling that customers and guests are #1 priority

The hotel business was started by Jamshedji Tata when he was insulted in one of the British hotels and not allowed to stay there.

He created several institutions which later became icons of progress, culture and modernity. IISc is one such institute. He was told by the rulers that time that he can acquire land for IISc to the extent he could fence the same. He could afford fencing only 400 acres.

When the HR function hesitatingly made a very rich proposal to Ratan – he said – do you think we are doing enough?

The whole approach was that the organisation would spend several hundred crore in re-building the property – why not spend equally on the employees who gave their life?

This is NOT COVERED BY Any NEWS CHANNELS

Like JOKERS RUNNING NDTV, CNN-IBN, STAR NEWS, AAJTAK, ZEE NEWS , IBN These People Busy SHOWING DOGS CATS and cricketers

Forward to all people who you know to show what Ratan Tata DID for his employees and other Indians.

LET THE WORLD KNOW WHAT IS "CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY"?

ఒక నాయకుడు లేకపోతే ఏమవుతుందనుకుంటాం.ఒక నాయకుడు రాష్ట్రాన్నిబాగు చేయవచ్చు. ఒక నాయకుడు రాష్ట్రాన్ని చెడగొట్టవచ్చు. ఈ మధ్యకాలంలో ఇది మనరాష్ట్ర ప్రజలకు బాగా అనుభవంలోకి వస్తున్నవిషయం.2009 సెప్టెంబరు రెండో తేదీన ఆకస్మికంగా ఆనాటి ముఖ్యమంత్రి డాక్టర్ వై.ఎస్.రాజశేఖరరెడ్డి మరణించిన నాటి నుంచి జరిగిన పరిణామాలు గమనిస్తున్నవారందరికి ఒక నాయకుడు లేకపోతే ఇంత తేడా వస్తుందా అన్న భావన కలుగుతోంది.రాజశేఖరరెడ్డి కొన్ని తప్పులు చేసి ఉండవచ్చు.పలు అభియోగాలకు గురై ఉండవచ్చు. కాని కాంగ్రెస్ పార్టీని ఒక తాటిపై నడిపారు. ఆయన తన మాటకు ఎదురు లేకుండా నయానో, భయానో అందరిని తనదారిలో ఉంచుకున్నారు. రాజశేఖరరెడ్డి అంతా ఘనంగా చేశారని చెప్పజాలం. జలయజ్ఞం పేరుతో జరిగిన పనులలో చాలా అవకతవకలు ఉండవచ్చు. ప్రాణహిత-చేవెళ్ల వంటి ఆచరణ సాధ్యం కాని ప్రాజెక్టులను చేపట్టి ఉండవచ్చు. ఈరోజు వై.ఎస్.ను నిందిస్తున్న సీనియర్ కాంగ్రెస్ నేత జి.వెంకటస్వామి ఆ ప్రాజెక్టు ప్రారంభోత్సవానికి హాజరై వై.ఎస్ ను అపరభగీరధుడు అని కీర్తించారు. అలాగే ఇప్పుడు వీర తెలంగాణవాది లెక్క మాట్లాడుతున్న టి.జీవన్ రెడ్డి వంటి కొందరు నేతలు ఆ రోజున వై.ఎస్ క్యాబినెట్ లో ఉండి ముందుగా తెలంగాణ అభివృద్ది ముఖ్యం అని చెప్పేవారు. ఇక తెలంగాణను తామే తెస్తామని చెప్పేవారిలో ముందంజలో ఉన్న నల్లగొండ ఎమ్.పి గుత్తా సుఖేందర్ రెడ్డి కాని నూక్లియర్ డీల్ లో కాంగ్రెస్ ను బలపరిచిన నాగర్ కర్నూల్ ఎమ.పి మంధా జగన్నాధం రాజశేఖరరెడ్డి ద్వారానే కాంగ్రెస్ లోకి వచ్చారు. ఇక తన కుమారుడు ఓ హత్య కేసులో ఇరుక్కోవడంతో రాజకీయంగా కూడా తీవ్ర ఇబ్బందులు పడ్డ కె..కేశవరావు వంటివారు కూడా వై.ఎస్.తో జాగ్రత్తగా మసలేవారు. ఇక టిఆర్ఎస్ నేతలు కొందరు రాజశేఖరరెడ్డి నాయకత్వంలో కాంగ్రెస్ కు దగ్గరవడానికి కూడా స్నహాలు చేశారు. కెసిఆర్ పూర్తి నిరాశలో కూరుకుపోయిన రోజులవి. అలాంటి స్థితిలో అనూహ్యంగా ప్రమాదానికి గురై మరణించడంతో రాష్ట్రం అంతా అతలాకుతలమై పోయింది. ఒక్కసారిగా రాజకీయంగా, అభివృద్దిపరంగా గందరగోళంలో పడిపోయింది. వై.ఎస్. స్తానంలో వచ్చిన కొణిజేటి రోశయ్యగాని, ఇప్పటి ముఖ్యమంత్రి కిరణ్ కుమార్ రెడ్డిగాని అటు పాలనాపరంగాకాని, ఇటు పార్టీపరంగా కాని పట్టు సాధించలేక పోయారు. కిరణ్ కొంత ప్రయత్నం చేస్తున్నా సొంత పార్టీ నేతలే ఎక్కడా సహకరించకుండా కాంగ్రెస్ పార్టీని ప్రభుత్వాన్ని గబ్బు చేస్తున్నారు. పార్టీ అధినేత్రిగా ఉన్న సోనియాగాంధీ బిజెపి నేత కిషన్ రెడ్డి అన్నట్లు రోమ్ తగలబడుతుంటే ఫిడేల్ వాయించుకుంటున్న చక్రవర్తిలా గడుపుతున్నారు. ఈలోగా ఇక్కడి నేతలు అరాచకాలు సృష్టిస్తున్నా, ప్రజల మధ్య విద్వేషాలు రెచ్చగొడుతున్నా, తమ స్వార్ధం కోసం రాజకీయాలు నడుపుతున్నా, ఇష్టారాజ్యంగా జనం మీదపడి డబ్బు వసూళ్లు చేస్తున్నా ఒక్క మాట కూడా అనలేని పరిస్థితిలో నాయకత్వం పడిపోయింది.ప్రశాంతంగా ఉండాల్సిన రాష్ట్రాన్ని మండుతున్న కొలిమిలా చేసి ఈ నేతలు చలిమంటలు కాగుతున్నారు. తెలంగాణ సాధన పేరుతో ఏమి చేసినా నడిచిపోతుందని భావిస్తున్నారు. లక్షల మంది ఉద్యోగులు హాజరుపట్టిలో సంతకాలు చేసి పని చేయకుండా, నెలాఖరుకు జీతాలు మాత్రం తీసుకోవాలనుకుంటున్నారు. అదే సహాయ నిరాకరణ అట. రెవెన్యూ వసూళ్లు సరిగా లేకపోతే జీతాలు ఎక్కడనుంచి చెల్లిస్తారన్నస్పృహ వీరికెందుకు రాదో తెలియదు. అధికార కాంగ్రెస్ తోపాటు, విపక్ష టిడిపి కూడా ఈ బంద్ లకు మద్దతు ఇస్తోంది. ఎవరికివారు ఎక్కడ వెనుకబడిపోతామేమోనని హడావుడి పడుతున్నారు. శాసనసభలో అరాచకం సృష్టిస్తున్ననేతలు దానిని సమర్ధించుకుంటున్న తీరు చూసి సభ్య సమాజం తలదించుకోవలసిందే.. సీనియర్ నేతలుగా చెప్పుకునే కొందరు జయప్రకాష్ మీద జరిగిని దాడిని కూడా శభాష్ అనే పరిస్థితిలో పడ్డారు.ఇక బంద్ పేరిట తమకు కావలసిన మీడియాను మినహాయించి,మిగతా మీడియాను బంద్ చేయించిన తీరు నిరంకుశత్వంగా కనిపిస్తుంది. ఇదంతా చూస్తుంటే తెలంగాణ వచ్చాక ఇంకెంత నియంతృత్వంగా వీరు మారతారోనన్న అభిప్రాయ కలుగుతుంది. టిఆర్ఎస్ అధినేత కెసిఆర్ కు సొంత ఛానల్ ఉంది.ఆయన బంధువర్గానికి చెందిన మరొకరికి ఇంకో ఛానల్ ఉంది. ఆ రెంటికి, వాటితోపాటు ఇతర రాష్ట్ర యజమానికి చెందిన మరో ఛానల్ ప్రసారాలు మాత్రం అనుమతించి మిగిలిన వాటిని మాత్రం బంద్ చేసిన తీరు ఆ ఛానళ్ల వ్యాపారం పెంచుకోడానికి చేసిన యత్నమేనన్న విమర్శలకు దారితీస్తోంది. ఇంత అప్రజాస్వామికంగా జరుగుతున్నా టిఆర్ఎస్ అధినేత కెసిఆర్ కాని, రాజకీయ జెఎసి నేత కోదండరామ్ గాని ఇది తప్పని చెప్పరు. ఏకపక్షంగా ఉంటేనే అనుమతిస్తారన్నమాట. రేపో,మాపో కెసిఆర్ పత్రికను కూడా పెట్టబోతున్నారు. అప్పడు మిగిలిన పత్రికలను కూడా కొన్నాళ్లపాటు మూసివేయించుతారేమోనని కొందరు వ్యాఖ్యానిస్తున్నారు. నిజానికి ఇంత స్వేచ్చగా రాసే రోజులు కావేమోననిపిస్తుంది. ఎందుకంటే ఒకపక్క చేతకాని ప్రభుత్వం, మరోపక్క తమ ఇష్టం వచ్చినట్లే రాయాలని, చూపాలని శాసించే రాజకీయ పార్టీని అడిగే దమ్ము ఎవరికి ఉంది? చివరికి ఇలాంటి అన్యాయాలను గట్టిగా నిలదీయాల్సిన విపక్షం కూడా విఫలమైపోతోంది. ప్రతిపక్షనేత చంద్రబాబు నాయుడు ఈ పరిణామాలపై ఒక్క మాట మాట్లాడే ధైర్యం చేయలేకపోతున్నారు. పైగా శాసనసభలో అల్లర్లు సృష్టించిన తన పార్టీ సభ్యుల సస్పెన్షన్ ను కనీసం క్షమాఫణ చెప్పకుండా ఎత్తివేయమని డిమాండు చేస్తున్నారు. దీనిని బట్టి ఏమి అర్ధం అవుతుంది?చంద్రబాబు నాయుడు ఒకప్పుడు విలువల గురించి గట్టిగా చెప్పేవారు. ఈ మధ్య మీడియా ఎలా ఉండాలో బోధనలు చేస్తున్నారు. మరి అలాంటి నేత ముందుగా తన పార్టీ నేతలను అదుపులో ఉంచుకోలేకపోతున్నారు.వారిని సరైన దారిలో పెట్టలేకపోతే సరే, ఆయనే వారి దారిలోకి వెళ్లి అప్రతిష్టపాలవుతున్నారు.ప్రభుత్వం,పోలీసు వ్యవస్థల గురించి ఎంత తక్కువగా చెప్పుకుంటే అంత మంచిదేమో. రెండు సినిమాపాటలు వేశారంటూ పిచ్చి కేసులు పెట్టే పోలీసు కమిషనర్, ప్రజల మధ్య ద్వేషాలు రెచ్చగొట్టేవారిపైకాని, అలాంటి కధనాలపై కాని నోరు మెదపలేకపోతున్నారు. ఒక ప్రాంతం మనుషులు తినే బిర్యానిని పేడతో పోల్చి అమానుషంగా మాట్లాడిన నేతను కనీసం ఇది తప్పు అని చెప్పే ప్రభుత్వ నేత ఒక్కరు కూడా లేకపోవడం మన దౌర్యాగ్యం. ఎంతో చదువుకుని అందరికి సుద్దులు చెప్పేనేతలు కొందరు ఇలా సభ్యతారహితంగా మాట్లాడుతుంటే స్పందించలేని సమాజంలో మనం ఉన్నాం.ఈ దుర్భర పరిస్థితికి మనల్ని మనం నిందించుకోవడం తప్ప ఏమి చేయలేకపోతున్నాం. ఎందుకంటే దౌర్జన్యాలు చేసేవారికి మద్దతుగా మాట్లాడే నాయకులు మనకు ఉన్నారు. మన నాయకత్వం ఇంత అధ్వాన్నంగా ఉంటున్నా నోరు విప్పి మాట్లాడితే ఏమవుతుందోనన్న భయంతో జనం వణికి పోతున్నారు.బంద్ లు నిర్వహించడం ఎవరికి లాభం. రోజుల తరబడి బంద్ లు నిర్వహిస్తే ఎవరు బాధపడేది. రెక్కాడితేగాని డొక్కాడని నిరుపేదల గతి ఏమిటి?నాయకులకు గాని, వారి కుటుంబాలకుగాని ఈ బంద్ ల వల్ల పోయేదేమీ లేదు. రాష్ట్రం ఇప్పటికే ఈ గొడవల వల్ల అధోగతి పాలైందని అంతా బాధపడుతుంటే ఇంకా బంద్ లు చేసి ఎవరిని ఉద్దరిస్తారు. ఉస్మానియా యూనివర్శిటీ అంటే విద్యల నిలయంగా కాకుండా, ఉద్ర్తిక్తతలకు నిలయంగా, అదేదో నిషేధిత ప్రాంతంగా మారిందంటే ఎవరిని తప్పు పట్టాలి. విద్యార్ధులను రెచ్చగొట్టి తమ పబ్బం గడుపుకుంటున్న నేతలను అనాలా? విద్యార్ధులు తమ విద్యా సంవత్సరం పోగొట్టుకుంటే వారితోపాటు వారి తల్లిదండ్రులు ఎంతగా బాధపడతారో అర్ధం చేసుకోలేకపోతున్నారేమిటని మదనపడడం తప్ప ఏమి చేయలేని స్థితి నెలకొంది. ఇదంతా తెలంగాణ రాష్ట్ర ఏర్పాటుకువ్యతిరేకంగా రాయడం కాదు. తెలంగాణ ప్రజాస్వామిక ఆకాంక్షగా మారింది. దానిని నెరవేర్చాల్సిన బాధ్యత ప్రభుత్వంపై ఉంటుంది. దానిని సాధించవలసిన ఎమ్.పిలు, ఎమ్మెల్యేలు, ఎమ్మెల్సీలు తాము త్యాగం చేయకుండా, విద్యార్ధులనో, లేక సామాన్య జనాన్నో బలి చేస్తున్నారు. ఒక్కమాట ఆలోచించండి. నిజంగానే ఈ తెలంగాణ కాంగ్రెస్ ఎమ్.పిలు,ఎమ్మెల్యేలు అందరూ ఒక్కమాటపై నిలబడి తమ పదవులకు నిజాయితీగా రాజీనామా చేసి కూర్చుంటే తెలంగాణ రాదని ఎవరైనా అనుకుంటున్నారా? అలా చేయకుండా విద్యార్ధులను వీరు బలి చేస్తున్నారు.ఎంతో సుదీర్ఘ జీవితం గడపవలసిన వీరు గవర్నరునో, మరొకరినో నిందిస్తూ కాలం గడుపుతూ ప్రజలను మభ్యపెడుతున్నారు. ఎప్పటికప్పుడు కొత్త గడువులు పెడుతూ రాజీనామాలు చేయకుండా తప్పుకుంటున్నారు.ఇక కాంగ్రెస్ అధిష్టానం తాను భ్రష్టు పట్టడమేకాక, రాష్ట్రాన్ని కూడా భ్రష్టుపట్టంచింది. ఈ పరిస్థితి మారకపోతే రాష్ట్రానికి నిష్కృతి లేదు. ఇవన్ని చూశాక అయ్యో రాజశేఖరరెడ్డి జీవించి ఉంటే ఇవన్ని జరిగి ఉండేవి కాదుగా అని ఎవరికి వారు అనుకుంటున్నమాట నిజం. అందుకే ఏ సమాజానికైనా, ఏ రాష్టానికైనా, ఏ దేశానికైనా ఓ సమర్దుడైన నాయకుడు కావాలి. ఆ నాయకుడు లేకే ఇప్పుడు మనం అంతా నాలుగు రోడ్ల కూడలిలో నిస్సహాయంగా నిలబడ్డాం.

A Story about Onsite...!

One fine day, Vivek's PL Bhatia asks him whether he has any time for a small meeting.

Vivek obviously has time and so the two go to a conference room.

Bhatia then clears his throat and says "Vivek, there is an on-site requirement. It is in Covina , Los Angeles . It is for six months.

I can suggest your name. Do you have any problems?"

Vivek cannot believe his ears. Of course why should any one have problems going to the Sam land.

"Of course no Bhatia.. I have no problems." he says.

Bhatia looks at him very kindly and says "You better draw up your personal plans with your wife and let me know in a day or two" That's when Vivek remembers that he has a wife.

Then it strikes him that there is a himalayan problem in front of him.

Shobana is working in Wipro. She is in the middle of a project in which she is a moduleleader.

She cannot leave it all and come to Covina with Vivek.

On the otherhand it will be cruel on Vivek's part to leave her here and go to Covina for more than half a year.

Moreover, they have just been married.

Vivek can stay back. But one day he has to go..

He cannot stay back in India indefinitely. Project requirements are too demanding.

Shobana can resign Wipro and accompany Vivek.

But what is the guarantee that she would find such a nice job in such a nice company after they come back from Covina ?

So Shobana and Vivek discuss this issue. They reluctantly agree to get separated for six months.

Vivek hugs Shobana in the airport and says "I will be BACK" in a typical Arnold Scharzegger tone and then boards Delta Airways leaving Shobana in tears.

In Covina Vivek gets lots of work and his stay gets extended by two more months.

The days and months move very slowly. Vivek starts counting even minutes.

During this period, Shobana's PL Ashish Mehta calls her one day and asks her whether she has any time for a small meeting.

Shobana wonders what that meeting is..

They go to the conference room and Mehta tells her about a great on-site requirement in Berlin , Germany for their customer.

"It is for six months and you are most suited person for this. I am going to suggest your name. Do you have any problems?" Mehta asks her.

Shobana gets excited.. Berlin ! She has never been out of India .

So she instantly nods her head. Mehta then smiles and says "Okay discuss with your hubby and let me know in a day or two"

That's when Shobana gets the gravity of the situation.

It will be two months before Vivek can come home..... By the time Shobana will have left to Berlin for six months.

Shobana cannot decline this as this is an important assignment.

That night Vivek spends hundred dollars on telephone to discuss this matter with Shobana.

Finally they decide to go ahead.

Shobana breaks down in the phone and Vivek breaks down thinking about his phone bill.

And then Shobana leaves to Berlin .

One month after that,Vivek comes back to India.

Then Shobana calls him almost everyday and they discuss about all petty things on the phone.

Shobana applies for a loan to clear her telephone bills.

Vivek gets into a new project which is not yet started.

His PL Prateek Ray calls him one day and says that he has to go to Toledo Ohio for the requirement analysis of that project.

Vivek frantically says no.

Shobana is arriving next month.

He doesn't want to miss her.

But Ray assures him that the work is only for one month and that he would be back before Shobana comes to India .

Thus Vivek flies to Toledo Ohio and gets into the requirement analysis of the new project.

That's when he comes to know how difficult it is to retrieve information from the users.

You can design a system the user wants only when the user knows what he wants.

Vivek gets baffled by the questions his users

put..

"Do you think I need those fields "GMG_TYPE_HJHJ_TW" and "Auto_level_ind"?What are they by the way?"

The requirements analysis stage continues for three full months at this pace.

Shobana comes to India one month after that.

And she tells her PL that she doesn't want anymore on-site assignments.

"I understand" says Mehta and she desperately waits for Vivek to come back to India .

It has already been two months over a year since they last met.

Vivek then gets the role of an on-site coordinator for this customer.

He calls Shobana that night and they really don't know what to do.

Shobana offers to resign her job and join him in Toledo .

But she is getting 21 grand per month in Indiaand Vivek doesn't want to lose that.

"Two more months Shobana and I promise I will be back" Shobana retorts back,

"There is no solution for this problem." Vivek gets surprised.

"What are you talking about?" he asks her.

Shobana fights back her tears.

"As long as I am in Wipro I will be getting a lot of on-site opportunities. Even if I decline all of them, what about you?

You also work for a software company and there you need to go abroad almost once every quarter.

I cannot accompany you as you don't want me to resign my job here.

Does that mean we have to stay like this forever?

Vivek! I love you and I don't know how I spent fifteen months without even seeing you once.

I may not recognize you also if you come in front of me now...

Tell me Vivek, is there a solution for this problem?"

Vivek doesn't speak anything for a moment.

He then realizes the truth in her sentences.

It is a never ending problem.

But what about the 20 grand she is getting per month?

"Vivek, is money everything? Can't we comfortably live with what you are getting? Please Vivek, try to understand the situation" Shobana breaks down.

Vivek is still undecided. He married a software engineer with a hope that with two incomes he would have a good deal of money to plan their future.

"Let us face the reality, Vivek" Shobana says, "How much are you paying for the phone calls now? More than 20 grand per month.

If I am with you there will your phone bill be so astronomical? Just tell me one thing. Won't you be happy having me there with you?"

Shobana slowly turns hysterical. Vivek gets into the crux of the situation. It is true.

He has been spending around 600 to 700 dollars per month on India calls... that is far more than what Shobana is getting then.

He thinks and thinks..for two days he does nothing else but thinking.

Finally he decides that he should have Shobana with him all the time from then onwards at any cost.

Shobana gladly prepares the resignation letter and submits it.

Her PL smiles and says

"You've made the right decision Shobana.. congratulations for the bold step. I understand your problems. Anyway! you have a three months notice period here, right? We have a one month assignment in Singapore ....."

MORAL : No software professional should marry another software professional.... unless one of them is ready to resign.

మన హీరోలు పరీక్ష రాయటానికి వచ్చారు. వచ్చి ఎవరి టాలెంట్ వాళ్ళు చూపించారు.

*మహేష్:* ఎప్పుడు వచ్చామని కాదు అన్నయ్య పరీక్ష రాశామా లేదా ..? అని వెళ్ళి కూర్చున్నాడు.

The Retiring Carpenter Story

2011-02-04T11:03:00.000+05:30

(Our attitudes and choices determine our future.)

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer-contractor of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more leisurely life with his wife enjoying his extended family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. He would get by.

The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end a dedicated career.

When the carpenter finished his work, the employer came to inspect the house. He handed the front door key to the carpenter. "This is your house," he said, "my gift to you." The carpenter was shocked! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently.

So it is with us. We build our lives a day at a time, often putting less than our best into the building. Then, with a shock, we realize we have to live in the house we have built. If we could do it over, we'd do it much differently. But we cannot go back. You are the carpenter. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, erect a wall. "Life is a do-it-yourself project," someone has said. Your attitude and the choices you make today build the "house" you live in tomorrow.

చూడు బాబాయ్...కొట్టుకు చావటానికి మన మధ్య ప్యాక్షన్ గొడవలు లేవు...
భూమి మీద పుట్టిన ప్రతీ మనిషికీ ఒక హక్కుంది. ఎదగడం..
తెలిసిన పనిచేసుకుంటూ కెపాసిటీకి తగ్గట్లు ఎదగడం..
కానీ ఆ హక్కుని కబ్జా చేసి ఎదడమే నీ లాంటి లోఫర్లు హక్కు అనుకుంటారు.
హిస్టరీలో జరిగిన ప్రతీ పోరాటానికి, విప్లవానికి, యుద్దానికి ఇదే కారణం.
అవును నేను అనాధనే కానీ అనామకుడ్ని కాను...

Like Pencil & Eraser

2010-12-30T10:21:00.002+05:30

Pencil: I'm sorry....

Eraser: For what? You didn't do anything wrong.

Pencil: I'm sorry cos you get hurt because of me. Whenever I made a mistake,
you're always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you
lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time.

Eraser: That's true. But I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do this.
I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong.
Even though one day, I know I'll be gone and you'll replace me with a new one, I'm actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad. :)

I found this conversation between the pencil and the eraser very inspirational.

Parents are like the eraser whereas their children are the pencil.
They're always there for their children, cleaning up their mistakes. Sometimes along the way... they get hurt, and become smaller (older, and eventually pass on). Though their children will eventually find someone new (spouse), but parents are still happy with what they do for their children, and will always hate seeing their precious ones worrying, or sad.

This is for all parents out there.....

Philosophy

2010-12-16T14:21:00.001+05:30

Please go through Albert Einstein's philosophy.
An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty.
He asks one of his new students to stand and.....

Prof: So you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely, sir.
Prof: Is God good?
Student Sure..
Prof: Is God all-powerful?
Student: Yes.
Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him.

Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm?
(Student is silent.)
Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?

Student:Yes.
Prof: Is Satan good?
Student: No.
Prof: Where does Satan come from?
Student: From...God...
Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student:Yes.

Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't
it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student:Yes.
Prof: So who created evil?
(Student does not answer.)
Prof:Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?

Student: Yes, sir.
Prof:So, who created them?
(Student has no answer.)
Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you.
Tell me, son..Have you ever seen God?

Student:No, sir.
Prof:Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof:Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?

Student:No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Prof:Yet you still believe in Him?
Student: Yes.
Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist.

What do you say to
that, son?
Student:Nothing. I only have my faith.
Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.
Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Prof:Yes.
Student: And is there such a thing as cold?

Prof: Yes.
Student: No sir. There isn't.
(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat.

But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that.There is no such thing as cold . Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat.. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy . Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it .

(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)
Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as
darkness?
Prof:Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?
Student : You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light....But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?

Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof:Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.To view death as the opposite of

life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it.
Now tell me, Professor...Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student:Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)

Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher? (The class is in uproar.)

Student:Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?
(The class breaks out into laughter.)
Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain,
felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain,sir.
With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room is silent... The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.)
Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.
Student: That is it sir... The link between man & god is FAITH . That is all that keeps things moving & alive.

NB: I believe you have enjoyed the conversation...and if so...you'll probably want your friends/colleagues to enjoy the same...won't you?....
this is a true story, and the student was none other than.............

Albert Einstein....

ప్రపంచంలో ఇంత మంది అమ్మాయిలు ఉండగా నేను జెస్సినే ఎందుకు లవ్ చెయ్యాలి.

కర్లీ హెయిర్ మొత్తం కాదు జస్ట్ ఎక్కడ వరకో అంతే....

తను నడవడం చూస్తే నవ్వు వస్తుంది ఫన్నీ వాక్...

మంచి వాయిస్ తనది ఎవైన బాడ్ వర్డ్స్ మాట్లాడితే తనకు నచ్చదు.

ఎక్కువ చీరలే కడుతుంది అదొక స్పెషాలిటి సింపుల్ అండ్ స్లిమ్.

మేకప్ అస్సలు వాడదు. చూస్తేనే ముట్టాలి అనిపిస్తుంది.

బైక్ లో నాతొ ఎప్పుడు తిరుగుతూ ఉంటుంది.

నేను అంటే తనకి చాలా ఇష్టం కాని, సినిమాలు అంటే తనకి ఇష్టం ఉండదు.

నేను కిస్ చేశా తనని.

తన మాటల్లో ఒక మలయాళపు వాసన వస్తుంది దానికే పడిపోయాను.

జస్ట్ కౌగిలించుకుని అలాగే మూడుగంటలుపాటు అలానే తనతో ఉండిపోయా.

తానంటే అంత పిచ్చి. తన పేరు జెస్సీ జెస్సీ...

అమ్మభాషను గౌరవించుకుందాం...

2010-11-11T11:22:00.001+05:30

"ఏ జాతి సమస్త వ్యవహారాలు ఆ జాతి మాతృ భాషలోనే జరుగుతాయో ఆ జాతి సుఖపడుతుంది . అది ఎప్పటికీ విజేతగానే ఉంటుంది"

ఇంగ్లీష్ వాళ్ళ దేశాలను పరిశీలిస్తే వాళ్ళకున్న దురాక్రమనతత్వం వల్ల భౌతిక సంపదలు సమకూరటమే కాక వాళ్ళు ఆక్రమించిన దేశాల్లో ఆంగ్లభాష రాజ్యం ఏలింది . ఇకమీదట కూడా ఏలుతుందని తెలుస్తుంది . తమ జీవితంలోని అన్ని రంగాలలో తమ మాతృభాషే వాడకంలో ఉండేలా కృషి చేసారు.... ఇంట్లో ,ఆఫీసు లో ,కోర్టులో చివరకి చర్చిలో కూడా వాళ్ళ మాతృభాషలోనే వ్యవహారాలు నడుస్తాయి కాబట్టి వాళ్ళు ఎంతో సుఖపడుతున్నారు.

అందుకే... మన అమ్మభాషను గౌరవించుకుందాం... ప్రోత్సహించుకుందాం ....

నీ రాక కోసం....

How to Handle Problems Coming your Way

2010-11-03T16:38:00.000+05:30

A wealthy man decided to go on a safari in Africa. He took his faithful pet Dachshund dog along for company.

One day, the Dachshund starts chasing butterflies and before long the Dachshund discovers that he is lost. Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the obvious intention of having lunch.

The Dachshund thinks, "I'm in deep trouble 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 Dachshund exclaims loudly, Boy, 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 Dachshund! 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 Dachshund sees him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figures 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 Dachshund 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... and just when they get close enough to hear, the Dachshund says,

Where's that damn monkey? I sent him off half an hour ago to bring me another leopard."

Moral: It doesn't matter what cards you hold but how you play them!!

THE OTHER SIDE

2010-10-26T14:09:00.001+05:30

"A Father was reading a magazine and his little daughter every now and then distracted him. To keep her busy, he tore one page on which was printed the map of the world.

He tore it into pieces and asked her to go to her room and put them together to make the map again.

He was sure she would take the whole day to get it done.

But the little one came back within minutes with perfect map. When* he asked how she could do it so quickly, she said, 'Oh Dad, there is a man's face on the other side of the paper. I made the face perfect to get

the map right."" she ran outside to play leaving the father surprised.. "

Moral : There is always the other side to whatever we experience in this world.

This story indirectly teaches a lesson..whenever we come across a challenge or a puzzling situation, look at the other side...

You will be surprised to see an easy way to tackle the problem...

Always have a positive attitude in life. Even a stopped watch is right twice a day...

Story Of LIFE....

2010-08-04T10:48:00.001+05:30

GOD CREATED THE DONKEY and said to him.

You will be a donkey. You will work un-tirinly from sunrise to sunset. Carrying burdens on your back, You will eat grass. You will have no intelligence and you will have 50 years.

DONKEY ANSWERED :

I will be a donkey but to live 50 years is much. Give me only 20 years.

GOD GRANTED HIS WISH.

GOD CREATED THE DOG and said to him.

You will guard the house of man. You will be his best friend. You will eat the scraps that he gives you and you will live 30 years.You will be a dog.

THE DOG ANSWERED

Sir, to live 30 years is too much, give me only 15 years.

GOD GRANTED HIS WISH.

GOD CREATED THE MONKEY and said to him.

You will be a monkey. You will swing from branch to branch doing tricks. You will be amusing and you will live 20 years.

THE MONKEY ANSWERED

To live 20years is too much, give me only 10years.

GOD GRANTED THE WISH

FINALLY GOD CREATED MAN... and said to him.

You will be man, the only rational creature on the face of the earth. You will use your intelligence to become master over all the animals. You will dominate the world and you will live 20years.

MAN RESPONDED :

Sir, I will be a man, but to live only 20yeras is very little. Give me the 30 years that the donkey refused. The 15years that the dog did not want and the 10 years the monkey refused.

GOD GRANTED MAN'S WISH.

And since then, Man lives 20years as a man. Marries and spends 30years like a donkey. working and carrying all the burdens on his back.

Then when his children are grown, he lives 15years like a dog taking care of the house and eating whatever is given to him.

So that when he is old, he can retire and live 10years like a monkey. Going from house to house and from one son or daughter to another doing tricks to amuse his grand children.

What is Tension?

A beautiful girl asks lift from you. On the way she faints and you take her to hospital.

Doctor says ‘Congrats. You are going to become a father.’

THAT’S IT. YOU GET TENSED.

You say – ‘But that baby is not mine.’

Girl says – ‘he is only the father of my baby.’

YOU HAVE MORE TENSION.

Police comes and DNA test is done. Report comes. Which says that you can never become a father

EVEN MORE TENSION FOR YOU.

Anyhow you thank God and return home. Then you think, “At home I have 2 kids. Whose are those?”

THIS IS REAL TENSION.

Love by Swami Vivekananda

2010-06-21T11:36:00.003+05:30

I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me. Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand with some water and held it before me, and said this: "You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love."

This was how I saw it: As long as you keep your hand caring open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first cracks it finds.

This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love...they try to posses it, they demand, they expect... and just like the water spilling out of your hand, love will retrieve from you.

For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature. If there are people you love, allow them to be free beings.

# Give and don't expect.
# Advise, but don't order.
# Ask, but never demand.

It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice. It is the secret to true love. To truly practice it, you must sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an unconditional caring."

Passing thought... Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take; but by the moments that take our breath away.....

Life is beautiful!!! Live and Let Live

IF LION goes on-site...

2010-04-27T17:20:00.002+05:30

In a poor zoo of India, a lion was frustrated as he was offered not more than 1 kg meat a day.

The lion thought its prayers were answered when one US Zoo Manager visited the zoo and requested the zoo management to shift the lion to the US Zoo.

The lion was so happy and started thinking of a central A/c environment, a goat or two every day and a US Green Card also. On its first day after arrival,the lion was offered a big bag, sealed very nicely for breakfast.

The lion opened it quickly but was shocked to see that it contained few bananas. Then the lion thought that may be they cared too much for him as they were worried about his stomach as he had recently shifted from India .

The next day the same thing happened. On the third day again the same food bag of bananas was delivered.

The lion was so furious, it stopped the delivery boy and blasted at him, 'Don't you know I am the lion...king of the Jungle..., what's wrong with your management?, what nonsense is this?, why are you delivering bananas to me?'

The delivery boy politely said, 'Sir, I know you are the king of the jungle but .. Did you know that you have been brought here on a monkey's visa!!!

Moral of Story : Better to be a Lion in India than a Monkey elsewhere!!! !!

Essay from a Child

2010-04-22T14:13:00.000+05:30

A teacher from Primary School asks her students to write a essay about what they would like God to do for them...At the end of the day while marking the essays, she read one that made her very emotional.

Her husband, that had just walked in saw her crying and asked her: - What happened?

She answered - Read this. It's one of my students essays

Oh God, tonight I ask you something very special: Make me into a television. I want to take its place. Live like the TV in my house. Have my own special place, And have my family around ME. To be taken seriously when I talk.... I want to be the centre of attention and be heard without interruptions or questions. I want to receive the same special care that the TV receives when it is not working. Have the company of my dad when he arrives home from work, even when he is tired.

And I want my mom to want me when she is sad and upset, instead of ignoring me... And... I want my brothers to fight to be with me... I want to feel that family just leaves everything aside, every now and then, just to spend some time with me. And last but not least make it that I can make them all happy and entertain them...

Lord I don't ask you for much... I just want to live like every TV

At that moment the husband said:- 'My God, poor kid. What horrible parents!

She looked up at him and said:- *'That essay is our son's!!!*

Everything Possible

2010-04-09T12:10:00.000+05:30

This is an Incident that happened between the customer of General Motors and its Customer-Care Executive.

A complaint was received by the Pontiac Division of General Motors "This is the second

time I have written to you, and I don't blame you for not answering me, because I sounded crazy, but it is a fact that we have a tradition in our family of Ice-Cream for dessert after dinner each night.

But the kind of ice cream varies so, every night, after we've eaten the whole family votes on which kind of ice cream we should have and I drive down to the store to get it.

It's also a fact that I recently purchased a new Pontiac and since then my trips to the store have created a problem.

You see, every time I buy a vanilla ice-cream, when I start back from the store my car won't start. If I get any other kind of ice cream, the car starts just fine. I want you to know I'm serious about this! ; question, no matter how silly it sounds "What is there about a Pontiac that makes it not start when I get vanilla ice cream, and easy to start whenever I get any other kind?"

The Pontiac President was understandably skeptical about the letter, but sent an Engineer to check it out anyway. The latter was surprised to be greeted by a successful, obviously well educated man in a fine neighborhood. He had arranged to meet the man just after dinnertime, so the two hopped into the car and drove to the ice cream store. It was vanilla ice cream that night and, sure enough, after they came back to the car, it wouldn't start.

The Engineer returned for three more nights. The first night, they got chocolate. The car started. The second night, he got strawberry. The car started. The third night he ordered vanilla. The car failed to start.

Now the Engineer, being a logical man, refused to believe that this man's car was allergic to vanilla ice cream. He arranged, therefore, to continue his visits for as long as it took to solve the problem. And toward this end he began to take notes he jotted down all sorts of data time of day, type of gas uses, time to drive back and forth etc. In a short time, he had a clue the man

took less time to buy vanilla than any other flavor. Why? The answer was in the layout of the store. Vanilla, being the most popular flavor, was in a separate case at the front of the store for quick pickup.

All the other flavors were kept in the back of the store at a different counter where it took considerably longer to check out the flavor. Now, the question for the Engineer was why the car wouldn't start when it took less time. Once time became problem - not the vanilla ice cream Eureka!!!!

The engineer quickly came up with the answer"vapour lock". It was happening every night; but the extra time taken to get the other flavors allowed the engine to cool down sufficiently to start. When the man got vanilla, the engine was still too hot for the vapour lock to dissipate.

Remember, Even crazy looking problems are sometimes real and all problems seem to be simple only when we find the solution with a cool thinking.

Don't just say its "IMPOSSIBLE" without putting a sincere effort...

Observe the word "IMPOSSIBLE" carefully... Looking closer you will see, "I'M POSSIBLE"... What really matters is your attitude and your perception.

Communications @ WORK

2010-04-07T14:37:00.000+05:30

Today, most of the clients, colleagues and stakeholders are just a phone call or email away -- technology has made communication that simple. However, while tools like telephones and computers score high on convenience and speed, they lack the warmth and emotion that face-to-face communication provides.

Appreciating colleagues

In the words of Helen Keller, 'We are all walking with a signboard on our forehead which reads -- 'Appreciate me'.' It seems we have replaced the pat on the back with 'Thank you' and 'Good job' emails. But there is nothing that motivates someone more than seeing their boss walk up to them and appreciate them in front of everyone.

Go to your colleague's cubicle and congratulate them on the great report they sent or the presentation they made recently. I remember one of my ex-bosses who used to call us team members to his cabin just to say 'thanks' and pat our backs. The team immediately took a liking to him as most people expect a warning or feedback when the boss invites them to their cabin.

"It's difficult to build rapport over an email; I would feel much better if my boss appreciates me in person," says Ashok Krishnan, a CA with Nestle.

Criticizing or providing feedback

When you provide feedback over an email or a phone call, the receiver may have a completely different perception about its relevance. This effect is amplified when you are not communicating face-to-face. The reader or listener may think you are cold and indifferent and that's why you avoided meeting them in person to discuss the issue. A face-to-face meeting gives you the opportunity to put your point across, while being sensitive and diplomatic at the same time.

"I have noticed that colleagues often use emails to avoid confronting the real issue. If someone fails to meet their target, I would prefer they tell me in person than offer an explanation over email," says Vidhanshu Bansal, a director with Pixel Webtech.

Assigning new responsibilityThere is a great risk of the message getting diluted when a responsibility gets delegated through email or a phone call. Don't be surprised if your team does not show a sense of ownership or complete tasks on time if you are not communicating face-to-face. Nonverbal communication, such as tone of voice, facial gestures and eye contact help individuals understand the importance of a task and the need to complete it on time.

"We rely on conference calls, video conferencing and online meetings but, from my experience, there's nothing more impactful than meeting the team in person," says Delhi-based Ashu Gosh, a manager with Aviar IT Consulting.

Damage control with clients
If you haven't provided the product or service the client expected, you are putting your relationship with the client at stake. An apology mail would not suffice in a sensitive issue like this. Go to the client's office, if possible, without them having to call you for an explanation, and reassure them that the confidence they demonstrated when they gave you business was not misplaced. Your client would be pleasantly surprised that you took the time to come and meet them, especially when things went wrong.

"I used to interact on almost a daily basis with a client over emails without ever figuring out whether the person was male or female. When a report I was supposed to send got delayed, I made a rude comment about a female colleague which offended the client who happened to be a lady herself," says Deepak M.L, a manager with Convergys.

Resolving conflicts

Workplace conflicts are common in most organizations. The lack of interpersonal communication only worsens the situation. It's important to remember that 55 per cent of meaning in an interaction comes from facial and body language and 38 per cent comes from vocal inflection. Only seven per cent of an interaction's meaning is derived from the words themselves. So, trying to resolve a conflict over email or a phone call is often a bad idea.

"A colleague complained about another colleague and copied the senior management on the mail. I was surprised to see that mail translating into a flood of mails providing and seeking explanation. The person who sent the original mail was just one floor above the person who was at the receiving end. I had to sit down with both of them in person to resolve the conflict," says Kailasam R, a manager with Lufthansa Airlines.

Your communication style says a lot about you as a professional. In the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, 'You are always under examination by people around you, awarding or denying you very high prizes when you least think of it.' So leave the comfort of your cubicle and build trustworthy relationships by communicating face to face.

My Dad is the Pilot

2010-04-05T14:47:00.000+05:30

Story told by a man which is most frightening yet thought-provoking experience of his life.

He had been on a long flight.. The first warning of the approaching problems came when the sign on the airplane flashed on:

"Fasten your seat belts."

Then, after a while, a calm voice said, "We shall not be serving the beverages at this time as we are expecting a little turbulence. Please be sure your seat belt is fastened.."

As he looked around the aircraft, it became obvious that many of the passengers were becoming apprehensive. Later, the voice of the announcer said, "We are so sorry that we are unable to serve the meal at this time..

The turbulence is still ahead of us."

And then the storm broke. The ominous cracks of thunder could be heard even above the roar of the engines. Lightening lit up the darkening skies, and within moments that great plane was like a cork tossed around on a celestial ocean. One moment the airplane was lifted on terrific currents of air; the next, it dropped as if it were about to crash.

The man confessed that he shared the discomfort and fear of those around him. He said, "As I looked around the plane, I could see that nearly all the passengers were upset and alarmed. Some were praying.

The future seemed ominous and many were wondering if they would make it through the storm. And then, I suddenly saw a girl to whom the storm meant nothing. She had tucked her feet beneath her as she sat on her seat and was reading a book.

Everything within her small world was calm and orderly. Sometimes she closed her eyes, then she would read again; then she would straighten her legs, but worry and fear were not in her world. When the plane was being buffeted by the terrible storm, when it lurched this way and that, as it rose and fell with frightening severity, when all the adults were scared half to death, that marvelous child was completely composed and unafraid."

The man could hardly believe his eyes. It was not surprising therefore, that when the plane finally reached its destination and all the passengers were hurrying to disembark, he lingered to speak to the girl whom he had watched for such a long time.

Having commented about the storm and behavior of the plane, he asked why she had not been afraid.

The sweet child replied,

"Sir, my Dad is the pilot, And he is taking me home."

About Adjustment

2010-04-02T12:50:00.000+05:30

Ours was an arranged marriage. It was done the traditional way. Our Parents took care of everything. My only condition was that she should be ready to work. Our horoscopes and photos were exchanged. Everything Matched. I spoke to her over the phone. We talked about things two strangers would talk. She was a lecturer in Bangalore who felt Chemistry was more important than Hindi movies. There was no engagement. The date for marriage was fixed in 2 weeks as I could not get a vacation after that. Even the vacation time I got was just 10 days.

Everything was fixed. It was supposed to be very hectic for me. We got married and 2 days later we had to leave the country. She cried like there was no tomorrow when we left. She would not talk to me on the plane. I thought that was usual for an Indian girl. I thought she would get over it. Once home she would not talk to me. She sat in a corner staring at the TV. For the first couple of days I had to catch up on some work and did not take her mood seriously.

A week later I sat beside her and asked her, "What is wrong?"

"Why did you bring me here?"

"What do you mean? What happened?"

"I want to go home"

"This is your home"

"No. I want to go home. Please buy me a ticket"

"Look, everybody feels homesick. I did when I came here the first time. It is normal. You will get over it. Sorry I have been busy with work.

We can go out this weekend. You will meet my friends and other people who will be very friendly. Come on be a good girl"

"I hate this place. I miss my family, my friends, my college. All the people I know are not here. I want to go home"

"Think for a minute. Try to reason it out yourself. What is your plan by the way? So you want to go back and never come back?"

"Yes"

"Are you crazy?"

"If you think this is crazy then I am."

"It is ok if you do not answer this question. Is there someone else?"

"No. I want to go home. I will call 911 if you do not send me"

"First cool down. Think about it. Think about our parents. It is less than a month that we got married and now you want to return home. You very well knew that you had to come here. What were you thinking? Even if you are returning home what happens to our marriage?"

"I am not blaming you. I take the blame. It is my mistake. I can't stay so far away from my family. If you are so interested come to India"

"I am family too! What you are asking is ridiculous."

The next day she would not change her mind. I called my folks. They said that it was my decision and they would stand by me. I booked her ticket and put it in her hand the next evening. She was to leave in 2 days.

Nothing would convince her to change her mind. She was crying like a kid. Then she left.

She had done nothing for me to miss but something inside me was telling me that I was at fault. I tried to shake it off but as time grew I started feeling more guilty. I called her. She made it clear that she did not find me despicable but she would not leave her city. Her parents apologized profusely but they were helpless too.

I have had crushes. None of them were serious. There was this girl in my high school tuition whose phone no I managed to find out. Then the prettiest girl in college whom everybody loved, who talked to me once. Then the girl from my city who was at my university in USA who made me feel at home when I visited her place. I had ignored them once I crossed their paths. But Anjali was my wife. I could not ignore her.

I decided to quit my job. I went home. No one back home knew I was returning. I wanted to surprise her. I dropped off my bags at my place and went to the college she was teaching. The gate keeper would not let me in. So I had to wait outside for the classes to get over.

She walked out alone, struggling to carry her bag, tired, with slow steps. She was walking towards the bus stop. I silently followed her and went behind her and whispered, "Do you mind if I carry your bag?"

She was startled and turned to face me. Her eyes lit up. I was not sure if I could hug her. I was smiling and she had a 100 questions written all over her face. "I want to spend a week with you in this city. Show me the things that you could not miss"

That one week went in a jiffy. She was treated a kid at home with all the comforts. That explained her behaviour. Coffee was brought to her in the morning. Even her dress was laid out for her. She would have breakfast and leave. The bus journey was an hour. She would sit near the window with a book. Then once in the college she would teach her classes and come out tired in the evening. She would stand in the crowded bus carrying her bag which would look heavy. Then she would alight, go home, have a snack and would head out to a friend's place. Some times she'd stay home watching TV or listening to music. When her dad returned she would join him and they'd have dinner. Then her mom would tuck her in bed. Weekends were not much different. She would sleep late, wake up for breakfast and lie down talking on the phone. Then she would visit the temple in the evening and would have her singing lessons. Then she would eat out and would head home late.

That was her life. It was something every human being wanted - simple, content and happy. Of course to her I was a villain. I told her that I understood her. I wanted to know if it was ok if she stayed in the same city but away from her parents. Her only condition was that I should not stay at my parent's place to which I agreed. So we moved into a small apartment. She knew nothing. She had to be taught everything. She learnt. It was hard to make her understand that she had duties and she had a husband. Coffee had to be brought to her in the morning. She made the rules and broke them. She did not care for me. Sometimes she would not return home but go to her parents' place without informing me. I would have had to go bring her back.

Slowly she started realizing about married life. She would wake up before me, try to cook, agree for a movie, visit my friend's place, invite me to her college, let me dress her up, dance in front of me, teach me Chemistry, talk about her crushes, play cricket with me, make me cry for a change. She was growing mature day by day. One day she apologized for the whole thing. I brushed it aside. Finally I had her the way I wanted.

Today I am happy and content with my life. She is still there crying to get her things done. I keep reminding her how she had threatened to call the police. She laughs it away. Some times I wonder how life would have been if I had not returned. Then again some things are left as they are.

That's how life is..
There are two ways of meeting difficulties:

"You alter the difficulties, or you alter yourself to meet them"

Maturity Means...

2010-03-10T17:38:00.000+05:30

What is maturity ? Maturity is the ability to control anger and settle differences without violence or destruction. Maturity is patience.

It is the willingness to pass up immediate pleasure in favor of the long-term gain.

Maturity is perseverance, the ability to sweat out a project or a situation in spite of heavy opposition and discouraging set-backs. Maturity is the capacity to face unpleasantness and frustration, discomfort and defeat,
without complaint or collapse.

Maturity is humility. It is being big enough to say, "I was wrong." And, when right, the mature person need not experience the satisfaction of saying, "I told you so."

Maturity is the ability to make a decision and stand by it. The immature spend their lives exploring endless possibilities; then they do nothing.

Maturity means dependability, keeping one's word, coming through in a crisis. The immature are masters of the alibi. They are the confused and the disorganized. Their lives are a maze of broken promises, former friends, unfinished business, and good intentions that somehow never materialize.

Maturity is the art of living in peace with that which we cannot change, the courage to change that which should be changed -- and the wisdom to know the difference.

Moral Stories

Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.

The winner was:

A four-year-old child, whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman, who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sa there.

When his mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy just said, 'Nothing, I just helped him cry.'

On my way home one day, I stopped to watch a Little League base ball game that was being played in a park near my home. As I sat down behind the bench on the first-base line, I asked one of the boys what the score was.

'We're behind 14 to nothing,' he answered with a smile..

'Really,' I said. 'I have to say you don't look very discouraged. '

'Discouraged? ', the boy asked with a puzzled look on his face.....

'Why should we b discouraged? We haven't been up to bat yet..'

Whenever I'm disappointed with my spot in life, I stop and think about little Jamie Scott.

Jamie was trying out for a part in the school play. His mother told me that he'd set his heart on being in it, though she feared he would not be chosen.

On the day the parts were awarded, I went with her to collect him after school. Jamie rushed up to her, eyes shining with pride and excitement. 'Guess what, Mom,' he shouted, and then said those words that will remain a lesson to me.....'I've been chosen to clap and cheer.'

An eye witness account from New York City , on a cold day in December, some years ago:

A little boy, about 10-years-old, was standing before a shoe store on the roadway, barefooted, peering through the window, and shivering with cold.

A lady approached the young boy and said, 'My, but you're in such deep thought staring in that window!'

'I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes,' was the boy's reply.

The lady took him by the hand, went into the store, and asked the clerk to get half a dozen pairs of socks for the boy. She then asked if he could give her a basin of water and a towel.. He quickly brought them to her.

She took the little fellow to the back part of the store and, removing her gloves, knelt down, washed his little feet, and dried them with the towel..

By this time, the clerk had returned with the socks. Placing a pair upon the boy's feet, she purchased him a pair of shoes.

She tied up the remaining pairs of socks and gave them to him.. She patted him on the head and said, 'No doubt, you will be more comfortable now.'

As she turned to go, the astonished kid caught her by the hand, and looking up into her face, with tears in his eyes, asked her, 'Are you God's wife?'

The whole world was watching the Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar reaching his 200 runs - the first ever cricketer in the world to have done this in the 50 over international match. Parents and students and
everyone watched the miracle and excitement taking place unbelievably in front of their eyes. But one mother locked herself with her two children in their study room coaching them for the next day's exam and strictly advised everyone not to disturb them.

Guess who is this lady?

It is Sachin Tendulkar's wife Anjali Tendulkar and the children are their children Sarah and Arjun! However the kids could not resist the temptation of watching their legendry father achieving the world record and watched a few minutes of the great excitement and then went back to their study room with their most
responsible mother! Of course they enjoyed the historic event, but soon got back to what they should be doing for the next day's examination!

Do I have to elaborate the above quotation anymore? Just recall what our children were doing at this historic moment with the School Board Exam a week away!

Perhaps, focus and responsibility is in the family!

Don't Sleep Late

2010-02-22T12:06:00.000+05:30

Good rest and sound sleep is very important...

If u don't sleep well, The toxic in your body will accumulate.. affecting your health and your mood...
The main causes of liver damage are:

1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are the main cause.

2. Not urinating in the morning.

3. Too much eating.

4. Skipping breakfast.

5. Consuming too much medication.

6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener.

7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.

8. Consuming overly done foods also add to the burden of liver. Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.

We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our body to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to "schedule."

Because: Evening at 9 - 11pm : is the time for eliminating unnecessary/ toxic chemicals (de-toxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes). This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If
during this time a housewife is still in an unrelaxed state such as washing the dishes or monitoring children doing their homework, this will have a negative impact on her health.

Evening at 11pm - 1am : The de-toxification process in the liver, and ideally should be done in a deep sleep state.

Early morning 1 - 3am : de-toxification process in the gall, also ideally done in a deep sleep state.

Early morning 3 - 5am : de-toxification in the lungs. Therefore there will sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since the de-toxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process.

Morning 5 - 7am : de-toxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.

Morning 7 - 9am : absorption of nutrients in the small intestine,

You should be having breakfast at this time.

Breakfast should be earlier, before 6:30am, for those who are sick.

Breakfast before 7:30am is very beneficial to those wanting to stay fit.

Those who always skip breakfast, they should change their habits, and it is still better to eat breakfast late until 9 -10am rather than no meal at all.

Sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of removing unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4am is the time when the bone marrow produces blood.

Therefore,have a good sleep and don't sleep late.

Don't Mess with Women

2010-02-15T12:11:00.000+05:30

One morning, the husband returns the boat to their lakeside cottage after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap.

Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out.

She motors out a short distance, anchors, puts her feet up, and begins to read her book.

The peace and solitude are magnificent.

Along comes a 'Fish and Game Warden' in his boat..

He pulls up alongside the woman and says, 'Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?'

'Reading a book,' she replies, (thinking, 'Isn't that obvious?')

'You're in a Restricted Fishing Area,' he informs her.

'I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading.'

'Yes, but I see you have all the equipment.

For all I know you could start at any moment.

I'll have to take you in and write you up.'

'If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault,' says the woman.

'But I haven't even touched you,' says the Game Warden.

'That's true, but you have all the equipment.

For all I know you could start at any moment.'

'Have a nice day ma'am,' and he left.

MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think.

Non-Violence in Parenting

2010-02-15T12:05:00.000+05:30

Dr. Arun Gandhi, grandson of Mahatma Gandhi and founder of the M.K. Gandhi Institute for Non-violence, in his June 9 lecture at the University of Puerto Rico, shared the following story as an example of "non-violence in parenting":

"I was 16 years old and living with my parents at the institute my grandfather had founded 18 miles outside of Durban, South Africa , in the middle of the sugar plantations. We were deep in the country and had no neighbors, so my two sisters and I would always look forward to going to town to visit friends or go to the movies.

One day, my father asked me to drive him to town for an all-day conference, and I jumped at the chance. Since I was going to town, my mother gave me a list of groceries she needed and, since I had all day in town, my father ask me to take care of several pending chores, such as getting the car serviced. When I dropped my father off that morning, he said, ' I will meet you here at 5:00 p.m., and we will go home together. '

After hurriedly completing my chores, I went straight to the nearest movie theatre. I got so engrossed in a John Wayne double-feature that I forgot the time. It was 5:30 before I remembered. By the time I ran to the garage and got the car and hurried to where my father was waiting for me, it was almost 6:00.

He anxiously asked me, ' Why were you late? ' I was so ashamed of telling him I was watching a John Wayne western movie that I said, ' The car wasn't ready, so I had to wait,
not realizing that he had already called the garage. When he caught me in the lie, he said: ' There' s something wrong in the way I brought you up that didn' t give you the confidence to tell me the truth. In order to figure out where I went w rong with you, I'm going to walk home 18 miles and think about it. '

So, dressed in his suit and dress shoes, he began to walk home in the dark on mostly unpaved, unlit roads. I couldn't leave him, so for five-and-a-half hours I drove behind him, watching my father go through this agony for a stupid lie that I uttered. I decided then and there that I was never going to lie again.

I often think about that episode and wonder, if he had punished me the way we punish our children, whether I would have learned a lesson at all. I don't think so. I would have suffered the punishment and gone on doing the same thing. But this single non-violent action was so powerful that it is still as if it happened yesterday.

That is the power of non-violence."

Professor vs Einstein

2010-02-08T11:55:00.000+05:30

An Atheist Professor of Philosophy was speaking to his Class on the problem Science has with GOD, the ALMIGHTY. He asked one of his New Students to stand and...

Professor : So, you Believe in GOD ?
Student : Absolutely, sir.

Professor : Is GOD Good ?
Student : Sure.

Professor : Is GOD ALL - POWERFUL ?
Student : Yes.

Professor : My Brother died of Cancer even though he Prayed to GOD to Heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn't.

How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

(Student was silent )

Professor : You can't answer, can you ? Let's start again, Young Fella. Is GOD Good?
Student : Yes.

Professor : Is Satan good ?
Student : No.

Professor : Where does Satan come from ?
Student : From . . . GOD . . .

Professor : That's right. Tell Me son, is there evil in this World?
Student : Yes.

Professor : Evil is everywhere, isn't it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes.

Professor : So who created evil ?

(Student did not answer)

Professor : Is there Sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the World, don't they?
Student : Yes, sir.

Professor : So, who Created them ?

(Student had no answer)

Professor : Science says you have 5 Senses you use to Identify and Observe the World around you. Tell me, son . . . Have you ever Seen GOD?
Student : No, sir.

Professor : Tell us if you have ever Heard your GOD?
Student : No , sir.

Professor : Have you ever Felt your GOD, Tasted your GOD, Smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any Sensory Perception of GOD for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.

Professor : Yet you still Believe in HIM?
Student : Yes.

Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student : Nothing. I only have my Faith.

Professor : Yes,Faith. And that is the problem Science has.

Student : Professor, is there such a thing as Heat?
Professor : Yes.

Student : And is there such a thing as Cold?
Professor : Yes.

Student : No, sir. There isn't.

(The Lecture Theatre became very quiet with this turn of events )

Student : Sir, you can have Lots of Heat, even More Heat, Superheat, Mega Heat, White Heat, a Little Heat or No Heat. But we don't have anything called Cold. We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero which is No Heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as Cold. Cold is only a Word we use to describe the Absence of Heat. We cannot Measure Cold. Heat is Energy. Cold is Not the Opposite of Heat, sir, just the Absence of it.

(There was Pin-Drop Silence in the Lecture Theatre )

Student : What about Darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as Darkness?
Professor : Yes. What is Night if there isn't Darkness?

Student : You're wrong again, sir.

Darkness is the Absence of Something You can have Low Light, Normal Light, Bright Light, Flashing Light .

But if you have No Light constantly, you have nothing and its called

Darkness, isn't it?

In reality, Darkness isn't. If it is, were you would be able to make Darkness Darker, wouldn't you?

Professor : So what is the point you are making, Young Man ?
Student : Sir, my point is your Philosophical Premise is flawed.

Professor : Flawed ? Can you explain how?
Student : Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality.

You argue there is Life and then there is Death, a Good GOD and a Bad GOD.
You are viewing the Concept of GOD as something finite, something

we can measure.

Sir, Science can't even explain a Thought.
It uses Electricity and Magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully

understood either one.

To view Death as the Opposite of Life is to be ignorant of the fact that Death cannot exist as a Substantive Thing.

Death is Not the Opposite of Life: just the Absence of it

Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your Students that they evolved from a Monkey?

Professor : If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process, yes, of course, I do.

Student : Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shook his head with a Smile, beginning to realize where the Argument
was going )

Student : Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolution at work and Cannot even prove that this Process is an On-Going Endeavor,

Are you not teaching your Opinion, sir?
Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher?

(The Class was in Uproar )

Student : Is there anyone in the Class who has ever seen the Professor's Brain?

(The Class broke out into Laughter )

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's Brain, Felt it, touched or Smelt it? . . .

No one appears to have done so.

So, according to the Established Rules of Empirical, Stable,

Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that You have No Brain, sir.
With all due respect, sir, how do we then Trust your Lectures, sir?

(The Room was Silent. The Professor stared at the Student, his face unfathomable)

Professor : I guess you'll have to take them on Faith, son.
Student : That is it sir . . . Exactly !

The Link between Man & GOD is FAITH.
That is all that Keeps Things Alive and Moving.

That student was Albert Einstein.

So, I am told

"Technical Skill is the mastery of complexity, while Creativity is the master of simplicity....."
"Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower."

Relationship

2010-01-29T12:01:00.000+05:30

A boy and a girl were playing together. The girl had a collection of marbles. The boy had some sweets with her. The girl told the boy that he will give her all his marbles in exchange for her sweets. The boy agreed.

The girl kept the biggest and the most beautiful marble aside and gave the rest to the boy. The boy gave him all her sweets as he had promised.

That night, the boy slept peacefully. But the girl couldn't sleep as she kept wondering if the boy had hidden some sweets from her the way she had hidden her best marble.

Moral of the story: If you don't give your hundred percent in a relationship, you'll always keep doubting if the other person has given his/her hundred percent.. This is applicable for any relationship like love, employer-employee relationship etc., Give your hundred percent to everything you do and sleep peacefully………

Funny Interview

2010-01-19T11:42:00.003+05:30

Interviewer: Tell me about yourself.

Candidate: I am SAMEER GUPTA. I did my Tele Communication engineering from BabanRao Dhole-Patil Institute of Technology.

Interviewer: BabanRao Dhole-Patil Institute of Technology? I had never heard of this college before!

Candidate: Great! Even I had not heard of it before getting an admission into it. What happened is - due to cricket world cup I scored badly! In 12th.I was getting a paid seat in a good college. But my father said (I prefer to call him 'baap') - "I can not invest so much of money".(The ‘baap’ actually said - "I will never waste so much of money on you"). So I had to join this College. Frankly speaking this name - BabanRao Dhole-Patil, can at the most be related to a Shetakari Mahavidyalaya.

Interviewer: ok, ok. It seems you have taken 6 years to complete your engineering.

Candidate: Actually I tried my best to finish it in 4 years. But you Know, these cricket matches and football world cup, and tennis Tournaments. It is difficult to concentrate. So I flunked in 2nd and 3rd year. So in all I took 4 + 2 = 7 years.

Interviewer: But 4+2 is 6.

Candidate: Oh, is it? You know I always had KT in mathematics. But I will try to keep this in mind. 4+2 is 6, good, thanks. These cricket matches really affect exams a lot. I think they should ban it.

Interviewer: Good to know that you want cricket matches to be banned.

Candidate: No, no... I am talking about Exams!!

Interviewer: Ok, What is your biggest achievement in life?

Candidate: Obviously, completing my Engineering. My mom never thought I Would complete it. In fact, when I flunked in 3rd year, she was looking for a job for me in BEST (Bus corporation in Maharashtra) through some relative.

Interviewer: Do you have any plans of higher study?

Candidate: he he he… Are you kidding? Completing 'lower' education itself was so much of pain!!

Interviewer: Let's talk about technical stuff. On which platforms have you worked?

Candidate: Well, I work at SEEPZ, so you can say ‘Andheri’ is my current Platform. Earlier I was at ‘Vashi’ center. So ‘Vashi’ was my platform then. As you can see I have experience of different platforms! (Vashi and Andheri are the Places in Mumbai)

Interviewer: And which languages have you used?

Candidate: Marathi, Hindi, English. By the way, I can keep quiet in German, French, Russian and many other languages.

Interviewer: Why VC# is better than VB?

Candidate: It is a common sense - C comes after B. So VC is a higher version than VB. I heard very soon they are coming up with a new Language VD!

Interviewer: Do you know anything about Assembly Language?

Candidate: Well, I have not heard of it. But I guess, this is the Language our ministers and MPs use in assembly.

Interviewer: What is your general project experience?

Candidate: My general experience about projects is - most of the times they are in pipeline!

Interviewer: Can you tell me about your current job?

Candidate: Sure, Currently I am working for Bata InfoTech Ltd. Since Joining BIL, I am on Bench. Before joining BIL, I used to think that bench was another software like Windows.

Interviewer: Do you have any project management experience?

Candidate: No, but I guess it shouldn't be difficult. I know Word and Excel. I can talk a lot. I know how to dial for International phone call And use speaker facility. And very important - I know few words like - 'Show stoppers ' , 'hot fixes', 'SEI- CMM', 'quality', 'version control', 'deadlines', 'Customer Satisfaction' etc. Also I can blame others for my mistakes!

Interviewer: What are your expectations from our company?

Candidate: Not much.

1. I should at least get 40,000 in hand.

2. I would like to work on a live EJB project. But it should not have deadlines. I personally feel that pressure affects natural talent.

3. I believe in flexible - timings.

4. Dress code is against basic freedom, so I would like to wear t-shirt and jeans.

5. We must have sat-sun off. I will suggest Wednesday off also, so as to avoid breakdown due to overwork.

6. I would like to go abroad 3 times a year on short term preferably 2-4 months) assignments. Personally I prefer US, Australia and Europe. But considering the fact that there is a world cup in West Indies in 2007, I don't mind going there in that period. As you can see I am modest and don't have many expectations. So can I assume my selection?

Interviewer: he he he ha ha ha. Thanks for your interest in our organization. In fact I was never entertained so much before. Welcome to Microsoft…

One old man was sitting with his 25 years old son in the train.

Train is about to leave the station.

All passengers are settling down their seat.

As train started young man was filled with lot of joy andcuriosity. He was sitting on the window side.

He went out one hand and feeling the passing air. Heshouted, "Papa see all trees are going behind". Old man smile and admired son feelings.

Beside the young man one couple was sitting and listing allthe conversion between father and son.

They were little awkward with the attitude of 25years old man behaving like a small child.

Suddenly young man again shouted, "Papa see the pondand animals. Clouds are moving with train".

Couple was watching the young man in embarrassingly.

Now its start raining and some of water drops touches theyoung man's hand. He filled with joy and he closed the eyes.

He shouted again," Papa it's raining, water istouching me, see papa". Couple couldn't help themselves and ask the old man.

"Why don't you visit the Doctor and get treatment for your son.

"Old man said, " Yes, We are coming from the hospital as Todayonly my son got his eye sight for first time in his life".

Moral: "Don't draw conclusions until you know all the facts".

Don't give to the Poor

2009-12-29T11:27:00.002+05:30

A number of years ago a humanitarian organization went to Africa intending to alleviate pain and suffering. The group came upon a village that suffered from an atrocious lack of sanitation services. There was no clean drinking water or sewage disposal. Children played freely in the stream of sewage that ran through the center of the village. Infectious disease claimed the lives of many villagers each month. Clearly, the people of this village needed help.

The humanitarian group, in accordance with their mission, set to rectify the situation. They paid many thousands of dollars to contractors to come to the village and build a modern water purification and waste disposal system. The contractors came, did their work, and within a few weeks the village was given a solution to their problems. The people had clean water, any trace of sewage disappeared, and the rate of disease decreased dramatically.

The humanitarian group commended themselves on a job well done (or so they believed), and left to give charity elsewhere while the villagers lived on happily ever after.

But the story does not end here. For while the humanitarians had given the villagers a great gift, they had not solved their problems.

Several months later, another humanitarian group came upon the village. They had heard about the great gift bestowed by the previous group, and wanted to see the effects of charity first hand. Much to their surprise, they found the village more squalid than ever. Once more children wallowed in sewage. Once more disease plagued the people. As before there was no clean water or sanitation to be found.

But how could this be true? The modern sanitation and water purification systems installed should have lasted for decades. Yet, in only a few months they had fallen into disrepair. The water stations were filthy and misused. A great act of charity had been for nothing!

The humanitarians, puzzled by the situation, sought the chief of the village, and asked him why his people had wasted such a gift. This was his reply.

“How can you blame us? We are simple people who know nothing of modern machinery. The others came and bestowed it upon us, and it was a great relief. But after they left, things began to break down. We do not possess the knowledge to repair these problems, and the result is before you.”

That may be true, said the humanitarians, but what about the water stations? They have clearly been abused. Have you not the common sense to protect your own assets?

At this the chief looked at them cockeyed and replied. “And what did you expect? These people had been many years without clean water. Then you gave it to them for free in abundance. They took all they could use and more. The people did not work for those water stations. They do not own them, and they could not be persuaded to maintain them.”

The humanitarians were silent. The chief had spoken truth. The great gift alone had not been enough and the reasons could be clearly observed. Perhaps, it is human nature to abuse a gift. The humanitarians returned to their camp and thought long and hard about how they could help the villagers.

The next day the humanitarians returned, determined to rebuild the water and sanitation systems with the following conditions. The villagers would have to pay for water and sanitation. Not more than they could afford, but there would be no gift giving this time. A group of villagers would work with the contractors to build the system and would be taught how to repair every aspect of it. These villagers would in turn train others so the system would never fall into disrepair.

With these new conditions in place, the water and sanitation systems were stored. This time the people had respect for the systems because they owned them. This time they were able to repair the system when it broke down. To this day the villagers have plenty of clean water and live free of filth and disease.

Well we should always recall the very important saying whenever we help the poor

*Never give to the poor. Help the poor.*

Why Bill Gates decides to Sell OFF Microsoft?

2009-12-22T15:00:00.004+05:30

Letter from Banta Singh of Punjab to Mr. Bill Gates of Microsoft

Subject: Problems with my new computer

Dear Mr. Bill Gates,

We have bought a computer for our home and we have found some problems, which I want to bring to your notice.

1. There is a button 'start' but there is no 'stop' button. We request you to check this.
2. One doubt is whether any 're-scooter' is available in system? I find only 're-cycle', but I own a scooter at my home.

3. There is 'Find' button but it is not working properly. My wife lost the door key and we tried a lot trace the key with this 'find' button, but was unable to trace. Please rectify this problem.

4. My child learns 'Microsoft word' now he wants to learn 'Microsoft sentence', so when you will provide that?

5. I bought computer, CPU, mouse and keyboard, but there is only one icon which shows 'My Computer': when you will provide the remaining items?

6. It is surprising that windows says 'MY Pictures' but there is not even a single photo of mine. So when will you keep my photo in that.

7. There is 'MICROSOFT OFFICE' what about 'MICROSOFT HOME' since I use the PC at home only.

8. You provided 'My Recent Documents'. When you will provide 'My Past Documents'?

9. You provide 'My Network Places'. For God sake please do not provide 'My Secret Places'. I do not want to let my wife know where I go after my office hours.

Last one to Mr Bill Gates :

Sir, how is it that your name is Gates but you are selling WINDOWS!!!!

Ramayana (w)as written by BillGates

2008-11-12T10:52:00.000+05:30

When Bill Gates was in India, he had a chance 2 listen Ramayana from Atal Behari Vajpayee. After returning 2 US he wrote it in his personal Diary.
A Tabloid in US got a copy of his writings.
These are excerpts from hisdiary.
Here it goes ...LAN, LAN ago, in the SYSTEM of I/O-dhya, there ruled a PROCESSOR namedDOS-rat. Once he EXECUTED a great sacrifice PROGRAM after which his queensgave an OUTPUT of four SUNs--RAM, LSIman,BUG-rat and SED-rughana. RAM theeldest was a MICROCHIP with excellent MEMORY. His brothers, however, wereonly PERIPHERAL ICs. Once when RAM was only 16MB, he married princess'C'ta. 12years passed and DOS-rat decided to INSTALL RAM as hissuccessor. However, Queen CIE/CAE(Kayegayee), who was once offered a boonby DOS-rat for a lifesaving HELP COMMAND, took this opportunity at theinstigation of her BIOSed maid (a real plotter), and insisted that her sonBug-rat be INSTALLED and that RAM be CUT-N-PASTED to the forest for 14years.At this cruel and unexpected demand, a SURGE passed through DOS-rat and hecollapsed, power-less. RAM agreed to LOG INTO forest and 'C'ta insisted toLOGIN with him. LSI-man also resolved on LOGGING IN with his brother. Theforest was the dwelling of SPARCnakha, the TRAN-SISTOR of RAW-van,PROCESSOR of LAN-ka. Attracted by RAM's stature, she proposed that heshould marry her. RAM, politely declined. Perceiving 'C'ta to be theSOURCE CODE of her distress, she hastened to kill her. Weeping,SPARC-nakha fled to LAN-ka ,where RAW-van, moved by TRAN-SISTOR's plight,approached his uncle MAR-icha. MAR-icha REPROGRAMED himself into theformof a golden stag and drew RAM deep into the forest. Finally, tired ofchase, RAM shot the deer, which, with his last breath, cried outdesperately for LSI-man in RAM's voice.Fooled by this VIRTUAL RAM SOUND, 'C'ta urged LSI-man to his brother'said. Catching the opportunity ,RAW-van DELINKED 'C'ta from her LIBRARY andchanged her ROOT DIRECTORY to LAN-ka.RAM and LSI-man started SEARCHING for the missing 'C'ta all over theforest. They made friendship with the forest SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR SU-greevand his powerful co-processor Ha-NEUMAN.SU-greev agreed to help RAM. SU-greev ordered his PROGRAMMERS to usepowerful 'SEARCH' techniques to FIND the missing 'C'ta. His PROGRAMMERSSEARCHED all around the INTER-NETworked forests. Many tried to 'EXCITE'the birds and animals not to forget the 'WEBCRAWLERS' (Insects) and triedto 'INFO SEEK. something about 'C'ta. Some of them even shouted'YAA-HOO'but they all ended up with 'NOT FOUNDMESSAGES'. Several other SEARCHtechniques proved useless. Ha-NEUMAN devised a RISKy TECHNOLOGY and usedit to cross the seas at an astonishing CLOCK SPEED. Soon Ha-NEUMANDOWNLOADED himself into LAN-ka. After doing some local SEARCH, Ha-NEUMANfound 'C'ta weeping under a TREE STRUCTURE Ha-NEUMAN used a LOGIN ID(ring) to identify himself to 'C'ta. After DECRYPTING THE KEY, 'C'tabelieved in him and asked him to send a 'STATUS_OK' MESSAGE toRAM. Meanwhile all the raakshasa BUGS around 'C'tacaptured Ha-NEUMAN andtried to DELETE him using pyro-techniques. But Ha-NEUMAN managed to spreadchaos by spreading the VIRUS 'Fire'. Ha-NEUMAN happily pressed ESCAPE fromLAN-ka and conveyed all the STATUSMESSAGES to RAM and SU-greev. RAW-wandecided to take the all-powerful RAM head-on and prepared for thebattle. One of the RAW-wan's SUN (son) almost DELETED RAM &LSI-man with apowerful brahma-astra. But Ha-NEUMAN resorted to some ACTIVE-X gradientsand REFORMATTED RAM and LSI-man. RAM used the SOURCE CODE secrets ofRAW-wan and once for all wiped out RAW-wan's presence on earth. After thebattle, RAM got INSTALLED in I/O-dhya and spreaded his MICROSOFT WORKS andother USER FRIENDLY PROGRAMS to all USERS and every one lived happily ever

About Govt. Employees in INDIA

2008-03-17T14:19:00.000+05:30

The Four Cats:
4 men were bragging about how smart their cats were:
The first man was an Engineer, the second man was an Accountant, the third man was a Chemist & the fourth man was a Government Employee.
To show off, the Engineer called his cat, "T-square, do Ur stuff."
T-square pranced over to the desk, took out some paper and pen and promptly drew a circle, a square, and a triangle. Everyone agreed that was pretty smart.
But the Accountant said his cat could do better. He called his cat & said, " Spreadsheet, do Ur stuff."
Spreadsheet went out to the kitchen and returned with a dozen cookies. He divided them into 4 equal piles of 3 cookies... Everyone agreed that was good.
But the Chemist said his cat could do better. He called his cat & said "Measure, do Ur stuff"
Measure got up, walked to the fridge, took out a quart of milk, got a 10 ounce glass from the cupboard and poured exactly 8 ounces without spilling a drop into the glass.

THINK AGAIN If You are Working Late in Office

2008-03-14T09:53:00.002+05:30

*Mail sent by Narayan Murthy to all Infosys staff: *
It's half past 8 in the office but the lights are still on...

PCs still running,

coffee machines still buzzing...

And who's at work? Most of them ??? Take a closer look...

All or most specimens are ??

Something male species of the human race...Look closer... again all or most of them are bachelors...And why are they sitting late? Working hard? No way!!!Any guesses???

Let's ask one of them...Here's what he says...

"What's there 2 do after going home...Here we get to surf, AC, phone, food, coffee that is why I am working late...Importantly no bossssssss!! !!!!!!!!!"

This is the scene in most research centers and software companies and other off-shore offices.Bachelors "Time-passing" during late hours in the office just bcoz they say they've nothing else to do... *
Now what r the consequences. .. *"Working" (for the record only) late hours soon becomes part of the institute or company culture.With bosses more than eager to provide support to those "working" late in the form of taxi vouchers, food vouchers and of course good feedback, (oh, he's a hard worker... goes home only to change..!!).They aren't helping things too...

To hell with bosses who don't understand the difference between "sitting" late and "working" late!!!

Very soon, the boss start expecting all employees to put in extra working hours.

So, My dear Bachelors let me tell you, life changes when u get married and start having a family... office is no longer a priority, family is... and That's when the problem starts... b'coz u start having commitments at home too. For your boss, the earlier "hardworking" guy suddenly seems to become a "early leaver" even if u leave an hour after regular time... after doing the same amount of work.

People leaving on time after doing their tasks for the day are labeled as work-shirkers. ..

Girls who thankfully always (its changing nowadays... though) leave on time are labeled as "not up to it".

All the while, the bachelors pat their own backs and carry on "working" not realizing that they r spoiling the work culture at their own place and never realize that they wuld have to regret at one point of time. *

*So what's the moral of the story??

* ** Very clear, LEAVE ON TIME!!!

* Never put in extra time " *unless really needed *"

* Don't stay back un-necessarily and spoil your company work culture which will in turn cause inconvenience to you and your colleagues.

There are hundred other things to do in the evening..

Learn music...

Learn a foreign language...

Try a sport... TT, cricket..... ....

Importantly Get a girl friend or boy friend, take him/her around town...

* And for heaven's sake net cafe rates have dropped to an all-time low (plus, no fire-walls) and try cooking for a change.

Take a tip from the Smirnoff ad:

*"Life's calling, where are you??"*

Please pass on this message to all those colleagues And please do it before leaving time, don't stay back till midnight to forward this!!!

IT'S A TYPICAL INDIAN MENTALITY THAT WORKING FOR LONG HOURS MEANS VERY HARDWORKING & 100% COMMITMENT ETC.

*PEOPLE WHO REGULARLY SIT LATE IN THE OFFICE DONT KNOW TO MANAGE THEIR TIME.

Heart Touching Story

2008-03-14T09:45:00.002+05:30

A small touching story mainly for professionals...

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.

SON: "Daddy, may I ask you a question?"

DAD: "Yeah sure, what is it?" replied the man.

SON: "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"

DAD: "That`s none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily.

SON: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?"

DAD: "If you must know, I make Rs.100 an hour."

SON: "Oh," the little boy replied, with his head down.

SON: "Daddy, may I please borrow Rs.50?"

The father was furious, "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior.

" The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy`s questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?

After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think: May be there was something he really needed to buy with that Rs.50 and he really didn`t ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy`s room and opened the door.

"Are you asleep, son?" He asked.

"No daddy, I`m awake," replied the boy.

"I`ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier" said the man.

"It`s been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you.. Here`s the Rs.50 you asked for." The little boy sat straight up, smiling.

"Oh, thank you daddy!" He yelled.

Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father.

"Why do you want more money if you already have some?" the father grumbled.

"Because I didn`t have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied.

"Daddy, I have Rs.100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.

"The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness.

It`s just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that Rs.100 worth of your time with someone you love.

If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days.

But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family.

How Poor Are We....

2008-03-12T12:17:00.001+05:30

One day a father and his rich family took his son to a trip to the country with the firm purpose to show him how poor people can be. They spent a day and a night in the farm of a very poor family. When they got back from their trip the father asked his son,

"How was the trip?"

"Very good Dad!" replied his son.

"Did you see how poor people can be?" the father asked.

"Yeah!"

"And what did you learn?"

The son answered,

"I saw that we have a dog at home, and they have four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden; they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lamps in the garden; they have the stars. Our patio reaches to the front yard, they have a whole horizon."

When the little boy was finishing, his father was speechless.

His son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are!"

Our outlook on life depends on the way you look at things. What others may think as riches, others may want. The most important things in life are your friends, family, health, good humor and a positive attitude towards life.

If you have these then you have everything!

Think in Difficult Situations

2008-03-12T12:14:00.001+05:30

A small story to show us the ways to come out of a difficult situation :

Many years ago in a small Indian village,A farmer had the misfortune Of owing a large sum of money to a village moneylender.

The Moneylender , who was old and ugly, fancied the farmer's beautiful daughter. So he proposed a bargain.

He said he would forgo the farmer's debt if he could marry his Daughter. Both the farmer and his daughter were horrified by the Proposal.

So the cunning money-lender suggested that they let Providence decide the matter.

He told them that he would put a black Pebble and a white pebble into anempty money bag. Then the girl would Have to pick one pebble from the bag.

1) If she picked the black pebble, she would become his wife and her father's debt would be forgiven.

2) If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father's debt would still be forgiven.

3) But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into Jail.

They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the farmer's field. As They talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles. As he Picked them up, the sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked up two Black pebbles and put them into the bag. He then asked the girl to pick A pebble from the bag.

Now, imagine that you were standing in the field. What would you have Done if you were the girl? If you had to advise her, what would you Have told her?

Careful analysis would produce three possibilities:

1. The girl should refuse to take a pebble.

2. The girl should show that there were two black pebbles in the bag And expose the money-lender as a cheat.

3. The girl should pick a black pebble and sacrifice herself in order To save her father from his debt and imprisonment.

Take a moment to ponder over the story. The above story is used with The hope that it will make us appreciate the difference between lateral And logical thinking.

The girl's dilemma cannot be solved with Traditional logical thinking. Think of the consequences if she chooses the above logical answers.

What would you recommend to the Girl to do?

Well, here is what she did ....

The girl put her hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble. Without Looking at it, she fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-strewn path Where it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles. "Oh, how clumsy of me," she said. "But never mind, if you look into the Bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble I Picked.

"Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be assumed that she had Picked the white one. And since the money-lender dared not admit his Dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an impossible situation into An extremely advantageous one.

*MORAL OF THE STORY:*

Most complex problems do have a solution. It is only that we don't Attempt to think.

Life Goes On....

2008-03-11T16:54:00.002+05:30

And life goes on ................

Problem With Me...???

2008-03-11T16:51:00.001+05:30

A man feared his wife wasn't hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family Doctor to discuss the problem. The Doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could perform to give the Doctor a better idea about her hearing loss.

Here's what you do," said the Doctor, "stand about 40 feet away from her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and s o on until you get a response."

That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was in the den. He says to himself, "I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what happens." Then in a normal tone he asks, 'Honey, what's for dinner?"

No response.

So the husband moves to closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, "Honey, what's for dinner?"

Still no response.

Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his wife and asks, Honey, what's for dinner?"

Again he gets no response

so, He walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. "Honey, what's for dinner?"

Again there is no response.

So he walks right up behind her. "Honey, what's for dinner?"

"James, for the FIFTH time I've said, CHICKEN!"

Moral of the story:

The problem may not be with the other one as we always think, could be very much within us..!

A Women's Poem

2008-03-11T16:25:00.001+05:30

He didn't like the curry
And he didn't like my cake
He said my biscuits were too hard..
Not like his mother used to make.
I didn't prepare the coffee right
He didn't like the stew,
I didn't mend his socks
The way his mother used to do.
I pondered for an answer
I was looking for a clue.
Isn't there anything I could do
To match his mothers shoe
Then I smiled as I saw light One thing
I could definitely do
I turned around and slapped him tight..
Like his mother used to..!! :)

Doctors Vs. Engineers

2008-02-29T15:32:00.002+05:30

7 Engineers and 7 Doctors are going from PUNE to Mumbai.

So both groupsgather at Pune Station. **Both groups are desperately trying to prove their **superiority** .*

*SCENE 1 (PUNE- MUMBAI):

*---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -

*7 engineers take only 1 Ticket and 7 doctors buy all 7 tickets..*

*Doctors are desperately waiting for TC to come......* *When TC arrives,*

*All 7 Engineers get in one toilet so when TC knocks, one hand come out withthe ticket and the TC goesAway....*

*NOW on return Journey All of them don't get a direct Train to PUNE.

So they all decide to take a Passenger till Lonavala, from there they can easily geta LOCAL to PUNE *

*SCENE 2 (MUMBAI - LONAVALA):

*---------------------------------- ----------------------------- ----------- *

Doctors decided, "this time we will prove that we too are equal"....

All 7Doctors take 1 Ticket Engineers don't buy any ticket at all!!!!!..TC arrives....*

*ALL DOCTORS IN ONE TOILET. ALL ENGINEERS IN THE OPPOSITE.*

*One engineer gets out and knocks the door of Doctors toilet, One hand comeswith the tickets, he takes theticket and comes in Engg. Bathroom...

TC DRIVES out ALL the doctors fromthe toilet and they are **heavily fined.*

*SCENE 3 ( LONAVALA):

*!----------------------------------------- *

SO now both the group r on LONAVALA station. Doctors planning their move forlast chance, they board the local to Pune.

This time doctors decide that they will play the same (1 ticket) trick.

ALL Doctors take 1 tickets...Engineers BUY all 7 tickets this time...* *SO TC Comes..

All Engineers showed their tickets ................... .... **Doctors are still searching for toilet in the LOCAL train........... *

*Conclusion: **Technically intelligent people are geniuses, don't mess withEngineers. *

Joke on Govt.

2008-02-29T15:25:00.001+05:30

A little boy wanted Rs.50 very badly and prayed for weeks, but nothinghappened. Finally he decided to write God a letter requesting the Rs.50.

When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to God,INDIA,

they decided to forward it to the President of India as a joke.

The President was so amused, that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy Rs.20. The President thought this would appear to be alot of money to a little boy, and he did not want to spoil the kid. Thelittle boy was delighted with Rs.20, and decided to write a thank you note to God, which read:

"Dear God: Thank you very much for sending the money.However, I noticed that you sent it through the Rashtrapati Bhavanin New Delhi, and those donkeys deducted Rs.30 in taxes ...."

Education makes people easy to lead but difficule to drive, Easy to govern but impossible to enslave.

Story of The Day

2008-02-29T15:20:00.000+05:30

Once, a boy went to a shop with his mother.

The shop keeper looked at the small cute child and showed him a bottle with sweets and said 'Dear Child you can take the sweets but the child didn't take. The shop keeper was surprised such a small child he is and why is he not taking the sweets from the bottle.

Again he said take the sweets now his mother also heard that and said’ beta take the sweets, yet he didn’t take.The shopkeeper saw that the child was not taking the sweets So he himself took the sweets and gave to the child The child was happy to get two hands full of sweets.

When they returned home, his Mother asked him Why didn’t you take the sweets when shop keeper told you to take??The child said ''Mom, my hands are very small and if i take the sweets from my hands then i can only take few but now you see when uncle gave with his big hands, how many more sweets I got.

When we take, we may get little but when God gives, he gives us more than our expectations more than what we can hold..!!

1. He/She never bargains… No wonder things have become so costly!

2. When a cab/bus passes by and you see all the commuters in it are sleeping like they haven’t slept for years…

3. Dilbert or Calvin is their favorite cartoon…

4. Words like issues, tracker, raising requests, buzz/ping, compile, delete [unlike erase or rub it off], onsite [n not abroad is what ‘foreign land’ is called] are the ones that would be used by ‘default’…

5. Weekends are holy words… they are like a salvation one seeks for…

6. “Wazzzup”, “Hows life?”, are few obvious questions one will be greeted with which would be immediately followed by “how’s work?”

7. Salaries, work etc are always better or in good shape in other companies than the one he/she is currently in…

8. They don’t send or take things… they always forward them!

9. Drinking coffee is the most pleasurable thing they think they do in the entire day…

10. They seek a search engine in just almost everything they do… When I forget where I have kept my things at home the first thing that comes to my mind is “I wish there was a Google search for my room” J

11. Mondays are always blue…

12. All of them will have a dream to do something in life and that something would never be What they are doing right now…

The Resignation Letter

2008-02-21T15:33:00.000+05:30

A Boss looking through his Mail Box was astonished to see a mail from an Employee who was supposed to be busy working at Client side on a critical project. It had the subject - "TaTa - Bye Bye". With the worst premonition he opened the mail and read content with trembling hands:-
Dear Sir,
It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you, but I'm leaving the job. The offer was too lucrative and attractive for me to turn down. I had to abscond because I wanted to avoid a scene with the HR and you. I am sorry but I had no choice.
The project is working fine. There are only 108 issues pending, out of which only 38% issues are High Priority. Hence I am sure there is no need to worry about. The next Phase of major enhancements I have been working upon, have been completed halfway. I am sure the new person who would replace me would not understand what all I had done so far. Hence, for his and your convenience, I have taken care to remove all the work that I had been doing this far for nearly 3 months now. I am sure you will appreciate my insight and "big heart".
I am of course retaining the Originals that I had retrieved for the purpose of Passport verification with me, considering it as a parting gift from you. Of course, I will not pay the bond amount that I owe the company (since I Am breaking the bond). But I will consider this as a parting gift from our Dear company. I moving out of town since the new company is situated in another City.
Also, I have changed my contact number. So you will not be able to get in touch with me, to congratulate me. But I know your blessings are always with me. Last but not the least. I also have the Rs 12000 entrusted to me by our company's cultural events group, for the upcoming movie event. I am sure you would have wanted me to keep it with myself as an added bonus from our company. I respect you very much, hence your wish is my command.
Don't worry sir. I am 2 years experienced now, learning so much from your company. So I will surely use this knowledge to write better programs for the new company. Someday I'm sure we will meet sometime in the future. If you wish, I will surely be glad to give my employee reference for you to apply for a job in the new company which I am joining.
Your faithful employee,S. W. Engineer
At the bottom of the page were the letters "PS". Hands still trembling, the Boss read:
PS: Dearest Boss, none of the above is true. I'm am still busy working at client side. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than my "Request to reconsider my Salary Appraisal" attached with this mail. Please approve it and call when it is safe for me to come to our Office to discuss this.
My respect and Best Regards to you!

A Disappointed Salesman

2008-02-19T15:01:00.003+05:30

A disappointed salesman of Coca Cola returns from his Middle East assignment.
A friend asked, "Why weren't you successful with the Arabs?
"The salesman explained, "When I got posted in the Middle East, I was very confident that I will makes a good sales pitch as Cola is virtually unknown there.
But, I had a problem I didn't know to speak Arabic.
So, I planned to convey the message through 3 posters...
First poster, a man crawling through the hot desert sand... Totally exhausted and panting.
Second poster, the man is drinking our Cola and
Third, our man is now totally refreshed.
Then these posters were pasted all over the place" "That should have worked," said the friend.
The salesman replied, "Well, not only did I not speak Arabic, I also didn't realise that Arabs Read from Right to Left..."

" See dad, the scenery of green trees moving away is very beautiful"
This behavior from a thirty year old son made the other people feel strange about him. Every one started murmuring something or other about this son."This guy seems to be a krack.." newly married Anup whispered to his wife.
Suddenly it started raining... Rain drops fell on the travelers through the opened window. The Thirty year old son , filled with joy " see dad, how beautiful the rain is .." Anup's wife got irritated with the rain drops spoiling her new suit. Anup ," cant you see its raining, you old man, if ur son is not feeling well get him soon to a mental asylum..and dont disturb public henceforth"
The old man hesitated first and then in a low tone replied " we are on the way back from hospital, my son got discharged today morning , he was a blind by birth, last week only he got his vision, these rain and nature are new to his eyes.. Please forgive us for the inconvenience caused..."
The things we see may be right from our perspective until we know the truth. But when we know the truth our reaction to that will hurt even us. So try to understand the problem better before taking a harsh action.

One of the best interviews!!

2008-02-15T17:52:00.003+05:30

Interviewer: Tell me about yourself.
Candidate: I am Rameshwar Kulkarni. I did my Tele Communication engineering from NVSIT.
Interviewer: NVSIT sounds good. I think it might be a Good College...
Candidate: No. No.. No... NVSIT means Nakka vekata Subbamma Institute of Technology.. in Peddapuram.
Interviewer: Nakka venkata Subbamma Institute of Technology ? I had never heard of this college before!
Candidate: Great! Even I had not heard of it before getting an admission into it .. What happened is - due to cricket world cup I scored badly! in EAMCET and I got 99,999 Rank . I was getting a paid seat in a good college. But myfather said (I prefer to call him ' Abba ') - "I can not invest so much of money".( My Abba actually said - "I will never waste so much of money on you"). So I had to join this college. Frankly speaking this name -Nakka venkata Subbamma , she is a social worker From Peddapuram.
Interviewer: ok, ok. It seems you have taken 6 years to complete your engineering.
Candidate: Actually I tried my best to finish it in 4 years. But you know, these cricket matches and football world cup, and tennis tournaments. It is difficult to concentrate. So I flunked in 2nd and 3rd year. So in all I took 4 + 2 = 7 years.
Interviewer: But 4+2 is 6.
Candidate: Oh, is it? You know I always had KT in maths. But I will try to keep this in mind. 4+2 is 6, good, thanks. These cricket matches really affect exams a lot. I think they should ban it.
Interviewer: Good to know that you want cricket matches to be banned.
Candidate: No, no... I am talking about Exams!!
Interviewer: Ok, What is your biggest achievement in life?
Candidate: Obviously, completing my Engineering. My mom never thought I would complete it. In fact, when i flunked in 3rd year, she was looking for a job for me in TCS ( Tirumala Car Servicing Centre ) through some relative.
Interviewer: Do you have any plans of higher study?
Candidate: he he he.. Are you kidding? Completing 'lower' education itself was so much of pain!!Interviewer: Let's talk about technical stuff. On which platforms have you worked?
Candidate: Well, I work at SEEPZ, so you can say Ameerpet is my current platform. Earlier I was at Panjagutta center. So panjagutta was my platform then. These days I'm covering KPHB,SR Nagar areas also as there are good looking girls staying. As you can see I have experience of different platforms! ( Panjagutta and Ameerpet are the places inHyderabad )
Interviewer: And which languages have you used?
Candidate: Telugu , Hindi, English . By the way, I can keep quiet in German, French, Russian and many other languages.

Interviewer: Do you know anything about Assembly Language?
Candidate: Well, I have not heard of it. But I guess, this is the language our ministers and MPs use in assembly. I think our chief minister is expert in this language.

And very important - I know few words like - 'Showstoppers ' , 'hotfixes', 'SEI-CMM','quality' ,'versioncontrol ','deadlines' , 'Customer Satisfaction' etc. Also I can blame others for mymistakes!
Interviewer: What are your expectations from our company?
Candidate: Not much.1. I should at least get 40,000 in hand.2. I would like to work on a live EJB project. But it should not have deadlines. I personally feel that pressure affects natural talent.3. I believe in flexi-timings.4. Dress code is against basic freedom, so I would like to wear t-shirt and jeans.5. We must have sat-sun off. I will suggest Wednesday off also, so as to avoid breakdown due to overwork.6. I would like to go abroad 3 times a year on short term preferably 1-2 months) assignments. Personally I prefer US, Australia and Europe. But considering the fact that there is a world cup in West Indies in 2007, I don't mind going there in that period. As you can see I am modest and don't have many expectations. So can I assume my selection?
Interviewer: he he he ha ha ha. Thanks for your interest in our organization. In fact I was never entertained so much before. Welcome to XXX.

BPO Animals

2007-11-30T03:11:00.000+05:30

The sun has set and the night has begun, its time to go to work. The beginning of another day for a BPO employee!
The clock is always upside-down for BPO employees whose peak hours of work start in the night. So, are the crazy shift timings killing the employees? The answer to this is of course, an emphatic YES!
Many people opine that the erratic working hours, odd meals at irregular timings, and the mad rush to achieve deadlines make the employees go berserk.
Needless to say, family life also goes for a complete toss with this machinated life, leaving nothing at all for personal matters. The BPO animal wakes up at 3 pm, looks around, finds nobody. Looks outside, sees everyone working. Wonders - whether he is mad or everyone has gone bonkers. Or is he from a different planet?
In the evenings, when he actually wants to be with his family - to have the evening tea, the dinner chat, to scramble around for the TV channel to watch the daily soaps or news, he is busy talking to Smiths, Sanders or Scotts finding out why their hard disks are acting erratic.
Apart from the family life, how can one forget the health hazards associated with working in night shift for prolonged hours? The change in biological clock leads to health problems like high blood pressure. Gastrointestinal problems are inevitable for those working at nights as the body is put under chronic stress. There has been a rise in the case of abnormal heart rhythms, which result in chronic gynecological problems for women and sleep disorders for both men and women.
Sitting at the desktop for 9 hours with only three or four breaks of 10 minutes each takes a toll on one's eyes too. It is difficult to adjust the food habits and body clock setup over all these years.
A question arises at this juncture, haven’t people from other industries been working in night shifts? Think about railways, airline crew, doctors, journalists and policemen. And how can we forget about how British youth fought for industrial revolution and how Americans fought the civil war?
According to some BPO employees, the BPO industry working in night shift is an overrated hype. But this doesn’t discount from the fact that extended night shifts do take a serious toll on the health of BPO employees. What is the solution to this? More and more therapeutic sessions should be there.
Activities like Yoga or aerobics will help a lot in de-stressing. Apart from that, healthy diet can alleviate stress.
Also, there should be a team of counselors/psychologists available for twenty-four hours. They may act as mentors and also as purgatory agents if an executive needs an outlet for his/her feelings in cases of disturbed social life.
Realizing the work ailment problems the BPO employees are facing, BPO companies have their own stress-busters in place. Some like Wipro Spectramind have full-sized gymnasiums at the workplace. But in a job where time is the most critical resource, smoking a cigarette seems a faster stress-buster than to most, than a full-length game of table tennis.
Some people say that they would prefer to work in a day shift job even with a 20% cut in a salary. In the BPO employee satisfaction survey, around 27% employees admitted they would leave either because of work stress or the sheer physical strain that was too much to handle.
And, there’s another worry. For many of these 18-25 year-olds, who are also studying and taking classes during the daytime, the stress is even higher. A typical day of 24 hours then means a minimum of 18 hours work, 10-12 hours in office and the rest in college or the library.
By making the work atmosphere friendlier, attempts are being made to make the social life active in a lot of BPO industries in India. Companies hold social bonding events and parties to make the office a fun place to work. However, no serious attempts have been taken to ensure that employees’ health is being safeguarded. With more BPO industries spreading across various cities in India, we can hope that India will soon have systems and guidelines in place and that are more employee-centric.

Newton's Genius

2007-11-30T01:00:00.000+05:30

Photos: Einstein, Newton, Pascal (Left to Right)

Once all the scientists die and go to heaven.

They decide to play hide-n-seek
Unfortunately Einstein is the one who has the den.........

He is supposed to count upto 100...and then start searching....
Everyone starts hiding except Newton...... ...
Newton just draws a square of 1 meter and stands in it right in front of Einstein.
Einstein's counting 1,2,3......97, 98,99.... .100..... ...

He opens his eyes and finds Newton standing in front....... .
Einstein says " newton's out..newton's out....."
Newton denies and says "I am not out........I am not Newton......"
All the scientists come out to see how he proves that he is not Newton.
Newton says "I am standing in a square of area 1m squared.....

That makes me Newton per meter squared..... .

Since one Newton per meter squared is one Pascal,

I'm Pascal, Therefore Pascal is OUT.......!

Best in this World

If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep... you are richer than 75% of this World.

If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace... you are among the top 8% of the World's wealthy.

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness... you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.

If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation... you are ahead of 500 million people in the World.

If you can pray in mosque without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death... you are more blessed than three million people in the World..

Impossible to Possible - Real Story

2007-11-08T03:16:00.000+05:30

This is a real story that happened between the customer of General Motors and its customer-care executive.
This complaint was received by the Pontiac Division of General Motors:"This is the second time I have written to you, and I don't blame you for not answering me, because I sounded crazy, but it is a fact that we have a tradition in our family of ice cream for dessert after dinner each night.But the kind of ice cream varies so, every night, after we've eaten, the whole family votes on which kind of ice cream we should have and I drive down to the store to get it. It's also a fact that I recently purchased a new Pontiac and since then my trips to the store have created a problem.
You see, every time I buy a vanilla ice cream, when I start back from the store my car won't start. If I get any other kind of ice cream, the car starts just fine. I want you to know I'm serious about this question, no matter how silly it sounds: "What is there about a Pontiac that makes it not start when I get vanilla ice cream, and easy to start whenever I get any other kind?" "The Pontiac President was understandably sceptical about the letter, but sent an engineer to check it out anyway. The latter was surprised to be greeted by a successful, obviously well educated man in a fine neighbourhood. He had arranged to meet the man just after dinner time, so the two hopped into the car and drove to the ice cream store. It was vanilla ice cream hat night and, sure enough, after they came back to the car, it wouldn't start. The engineer returned for three more nights.
The first night, they got chocolate. The car started. The second night, he got strawberry. The car started. The third night he ordered vanilla. The car failed to start. Now the engineer, being a logical man, refused to believe that this man's car was allergic to vanilla ice cream. He arranged, therefore, to continue his visits for as long as it took to solve the problem. And toward this end he began to take notes: he jotted down all sorts of data: time of day, type of gas uses, time to drive back and forth etc. In a short time, he had a clue: the man took less time to buy vanilla than any other flavour. Why? The answer was in the layout of the store. Vanilla, being the most popular flavour, was in a separate case at the front of the store for quick pickup. All the other flavours were kept in the back of the store at a different counter where it took considerably longer to check out the flavour. Now, the question for the engineer was why the car wouldn't start when it took less time.Once time became problem - not the vanilla ice cream, the engineer quickly came up with the answer: "Vapour lock". It was happening every night; but the extra time taken to get the other flavours allowed the engine to cool down sufficiently to start. When the man got vanilla, the engine was still too hot for the vapour lock to dissipate. Remember: Even crazy looking problems are sometimes real and all problems seem to be simple only when we find the solution with a cool thinking.Don't just say its "IMPOSSIBLE" without putting a sincere effort... Observe the word "IMPOSSIBLE" carefully... You can see "I'M POSSIBLE".What really matters is your attitude and your perception.

Love Your Parents - Small Story

2007-11-03T00:08:00.000+05:30

An 80 year old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45 years old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow perched on theirwindow. The Father asked his Son,
"What is this?"The Son replied "It is a crow". After a few minutes,
the Father asked his Son the 2nd time, "What is this?" The Son said "Father, I have just now told you "It's a crow". After a little while, the old Father again asked his Son the 3rd time,What is this?"At this time some ex-pression of irritation was felt in the Son's tone when he said to his Father with a rebuff. "It's a crow, a crow". A little after, the Father again asked his Son t he 4th time, "What is this?"This time the Son shouted at his Father, "Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so manytimes 'IT IS A CROW'. Are you not able to understand this?"A little later the Father went to his room and came back with an old tattered diary, which he had maintained since his Son was born. Onopening a page, he asked his Son to read that page. When the son readit, the following words were written in the diary :-"Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My Son asked me 23 times what itwas, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a Crow. I huggedhim lovingly each time h e asked me the same question again and againfor 23 times. I did not at all feel irritated I rather felt affection for my innocent child".While the little child asked him 23 times "What is this", the Fatherhad felt no irritation in replying to the same question all 23 timesand when today the Father asked his Son the same question just 4 times, the Son felt irritated and annoyed.
So..If your parents attain old age, do not repulse them or look at them as a burden, but speak to them a gracious word, be cool, obedient, humbleand kind to them. Be considerate to your parents.From today say thisaloud, "I want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared for meever since I was a little child. They have always showered theirselfless love on me. They crossed all mountains and valleys without seeing the storm and heat to make me a person presentable in the society today".
Say a prayer to God, "I will serve my old parents in the BEST way. Iwill say all good and kind words to my dear parents, no matter how they behave".

A Wonderful Love Story

2007-11-01T00:19:00.000+05:30

A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard.
She did not recognize them.
She said "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry.
Please come in and have something to eat."
"Is the man of the house home?", they asked.
"No", she replied. "He's out."
"Then we cannot come in", they replied.
In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened.
"Go tell them I am home and invite them in!"
The woman went out and invited the men in"
"We do not go into a House together," they replied.
"Why is that?" she asked.
One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth,"
he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing to another one,
"He is Success, and I am Love." Then he added,
"Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home."
The woman went in and told her husband what was said.
Her husband was overjoyed. "How nice!!", he said.
"Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!"
His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?"
Their daughter-in-law was listening from the other corner of the house.
She jumped in with her own suggestion: "Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!"
"Let us heed our daughter-in-law's advice," said the husband to his wife.
"Go out and invite Love to be our guest."
The woman went out and asked the 3 old men,
"Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest."
Love got up and started walking toward the house.
The other 2 also got up and followed him.
Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?" The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would've stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him.
Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!!!"
=> My Wish For You....
Where there is pain, I wish you peace and mercy.
Where there is self-doubting, I wish you a renewed confidence in your ability to work through it.
Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion, I wish you understanding, patience, and renewed strength.
Where there is fear, I wish you love, and courage.

Why God Allows Pain - Small Story

2007-10-31T23:51:00.001+05:30

This is one of the best explanations of why God allows pain and suffering that I have seen...

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed.
As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.
They talked about so many things and various subjects.
When they eventually touched on the subject of God,
the barber said: "I don't believe that God exists."
"Why do you say that?" asked the customer.
"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist.
Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain.
I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things.
" The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument.
The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop.
Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard.
He looked dirty and unkempt.
The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber:
"You know what? Barbers do not exist."
"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber.
"I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"
"No!" the customer exclaimed.
"Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."
"Ah, but barbers DO exist! That's what happens when people do not come to me."
"Exactly!" affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist!
That's what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look to Him for help.
That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."
BE BLESSED & BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS !!!
