coffee time

A man died and went to straight down to hell. The devil greeted him and
gave him a guided tour of the place. He told the man that there were three
rooms he could chose from in which to spend eternity.

The first room was full of flames so hot the man couldn't even breathe. He
told the devil that there was no way he was choosing that room. So they
moved on.

The next room they came to was full of people who were being beaten and
tortured. It looked so painful the man could not watch. He told the devil he
definitely didn't want that room, and they moved on.

The last room they came to was full of people who were just sitting around
drinking coffee and relaxing. The only thing was that they were standing
around in about two feet of poop. The man looked for a while and then told
the devil this room would be all right.

The devil gestured for him to sit down and the man took a seat. He did, sipped his coffee and felt really pleased with his choice. After a few minutes, a voice came over the loudspeaker and said, "Break time is over! Back on your heads!"

To my child

Just for this morning, I am going to smile when I see your face and laugh when I feel like crying. Just for this morning, I will let you choose what you want to wear, and smile and say how perfect it is. Just for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry, and pick you up and take you to the park to play. Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes in the sink, and let you teach me how to put that puzzle of yours together. Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off, and sit with you in the backyard and blow bubbles.. Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream and whine for the ice cream truck, and I will buy you one if he comes by. Just for this afternoon, I won't worry about what you are going to be when you grow up, or second guess every decision I have made where you are concerned. Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies, and I won't stand over you trying to fix them. Just for this afternoon, I will take us to McDonald's and buy us both a Happy Meal so you can have both toys.. Just for this evening, I will hold you in my arms and tell you a story about how you were born and how much I love you. Just! for this evening, I will let you splash in the tub and not get angry. Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we sit on the porch and count all the stars. Just for this evening, I will snuggle beside you for hours, and miss my favorite TV shows. Just for this evening when I run my finger through your hair as you pray, I will simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever given. I will think about the mothers and fathers who are searching for their missing children, the mothers and fathers who are visiting their children's graves instead of their bedrooms, and mothers and fathers who are in hospital rooms watching their children suffer senselessly, and screaming inside that they can't handle it anymore. And when I kiss you good night I will hold you a little tighter, a little longer. It is then, that I will thank God for you, and ask him for nothing, except one more day..............

My Resolution for this Year – 1024 by 768 pixels!!!!!!
What's yours???

H2O- safety

As you know chemical released by plastic water bottles can cause cancer (It is not the water that affects you but the chemical released from the bottle) How to avoid: Check the bottom of the bottle there should be a triangle sign and there will be a number on it. If the number is higher than or equal to 5 --> then this bottle is safe to use. Numbers under 5 will release the chemical. For most bottled water, the number is 1. Remember tocheck and stop reusing those bottles. Please pass on this information to your friends.

Sardar jokes







SHOCKING TRUE STORY

SHOCKING TRUE STORY :( INDIA)
A woman at a Gas nightclub (Mumbai) on Saturday night was taken by 5 men, who according to hospital and police reports, gang raped her before dumping her at Bandstand Mumbai. Unable to remember the events of the evening, tests later confirmed the repeat rapes along with traces of rohypnol in her blood. Rohypnol, date rape drug is an essentially a small sterilization pill. The drug is now being used by rapists at parties to rape AND sterilize their victims. All they have to do is drop it into the girl's drink. The girl can't remember a thing the next morning, of all that had taken place the night before. Rohypnol, which dissolves in drinks just as easily, is such that the victim doesn't conceive from the rape and the rapist needn't worry about having a paternity test identifying him months later. The Drug's affects ARE NOT TEMPORARY - they are PERMANENT. Any female that takes it WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO CONCEIVE. The weasels can get this drug from anyone who is in the vet school
or any university. It's that easy, and Rohypnol is about to break out big on campuses everywhere. Believe it or not, there are even sites on the Internet telling people how to use it. Please forward this to everyone you know, especially girls. Girls, be careful when you're out and don't leave your drink unattended. (added - Buy your own drinks, ensure bottles or cans received are unopened or sealed; don't even taste someone else's drink) There was already been a report in Singapore of girls drink been spike by Rohypnol. Please make the effort to forward this to everyone you know...for guys Pls inform all your female friends and relatives....remember you also have daughters and sisters.
Your life is God's gift to you. What you do for others is your gift to God". Please pray!!!

Resolution for the Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY - Kidspeak?

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY?
You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming. -- Alan, age 10 No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with. -- Kirsten, age 10
==============================================
WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?
Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then. -- Camille, age 10 No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married. -- Freddie, age 6 (very wise for his age)
==============================================
HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?
You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.
-- Derrick, age 8
==============================================
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?
Both don't want any more kids. -- Lori, age 8 ==============================================
WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?
Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough. -- Lynnette, age 8 (isn't she a treasure) On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.
-- Martin, age 10
==============================================
WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?
I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the news- papers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns.
-- Craig, age 9
==============================================
WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?
When they're rich. -- Pam, age 7 The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that. -- Curt, age 7 The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do.
-- Howard, age 8
==============================================
IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED? It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them.
-- Anita, age 9 (bless you child) ==============================================
HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?
There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?
-- Kelvin, age 8
==============================================
And the #1 Favorite is........
HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?
Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck.
-- Ricky, age 10

AN INSPIRING ARTICLE BY LAKSHMI MITTAL ON TATAS

I visited Jamshedpur over the weekend to see for myself an India that is fastdisappearing despite all the wolf-cries of people like Narayanamurthy and hisilk. It is one thing to talk and quite another to do and I am delighted to tellyou that Ratan Tata has kept alive the legacy of perhaps India?s finestindustrialist J.N. Tata. Something that some people doubted when Ratan tookover the House of the Tatas but in hindsight, the best thing to have happenedto the Tatas is unquestionably Ratan. I was amazed to see the extent ofcorporate philanthropy and this is no exaggeration.For the breed that talks about corporate social responsibility and talks aboutthe role of corporate India, a visit to Jamshedpur is a must. Go there and seethe amount of money they pump into keeping the town going; see the smilingfaces of workers in a region known for industrial unrest; see the standard ofliving in a city that is almost isolated from the mess in the rest of thecountry.This is not meant to be a puff piece. I have nothing to do with Tata Steel, butI strongly believe the message of hope and the message of goodness that theyare spreading is worth sharing. The fact that you do have companies in Indiawhich look at workers as human beings and who do not blow their softwaretrumpet of having changed lives. In fact, I asked Mr Muthurman, the ManagingDirector, as to why he was so quiet about all they had done and all he couldoffer in return was a smile wrapped in humility, which said it all. They havedone so much more since I last visited Jamshedpur, which was in 1992. The townhas obviously got busier but the values thankfully haven't changed. The food isstill as amazing as it always was and I gorged, as I would normally do. Ivisited the plant and the last time I did that was with Russi Mody.But the plant this time was gleaming and far from what it used to be. Greenerand cleaner and a tribute to environment management. You could have been in themountains. Such was the quality of air I inhaled! There was no belching smoke;no tired faces and so many more women workers, even on the shop floor. This istrue gender equality and not the kind that is often espoused at seminarsorganized by angry activists. I met so many old friends. Most of them have agedbut not grown old. There was a spring in the air which came from a certaincalmness which has always been the hallmark of Jamshedpur and something Isavoured for a full two days in between receiving messages of how boring anddecrepit the Lacklustre Fashion Weak was. It is at times such as this that ourcity lives seems so meaningless. Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata had created anedifice that is today a robust company and it is not about profits and aboutvaluation. It is not about who becomes a millionaire and who doesn?t. It isabout getting the job done with dignity and respect keeping the age-old valuesintact and this is what I learnt.I jokingly asked someone as to whether they ever thought of joining an Infosysor a Wipro and pat came the reply: "We are not interested in becomingcrorepatis but in making others crorepatis," which is exactly what the Tatashave done for years in and around Jamshedpur. Very few people know thatJamshedpur has been selected as a UN Global Compact City, edging out the othernominee from India, Bangalore; selected because of the quality of life, becauseof the conditions of sanitation and roads and welfare. If this is not a tributeto industrial India, then what is? Today, India needs several Jamshedpurs butit also needs this Jamshedpur to be given its fair due recognition. I am tiredof campus visits being publicised to the Infosys and the Wipros of the world.Modern India is being built in Jamshedpur as we speak. An India built on thestrength of core convictions and nothing was more apparent about that than theexperiment with truth and reality that Tata Steel is conducting at Pipla.Forty-eight tribal girls (yes, tribal girls who these corrupt and evilpoliticians only talk about but do nothing for) are being educated through aresidential program over nine months. I went to visit them and I spoke to themin a language that they have just learnt: Bengali. Eight weeks ago, they couldonly speak in Sainthali, their local dialect. But today, they are brimming witha confidence that will bring tears to your eyes. It did to mine.One of them has just been selected to represent Jharkand in the state archerycompetition. They have their own women?s football team and what?s more theyare now fond of education. It is a passion and not a burden. This was possiblebecause I guess people like Ratan Tata and Muthurman haven?t sold their soulsto some business management drivel, which tells us that we must only do businessand nothing else. The fact that not one Tata executive has been touched by theNaxalites in that area talks about the social respect that the Tatas haveearned.The Tatas do not need this piece to be praised and lauded. My intent is to sharethe larger picture that we so often miss in the haze of the slime and sleazethat politics imparts. My submission to those who use phrases such as"feel-good" and "India Shining" to first visit Jamshedpur to understand what itall means. See Tata Steel in action to know what companies can do if they wishto. And what corporate India needs to do. Murli Manohar Joshi would be betteroff seeing what Tata Steel has done by creating the Xavier Institute of TribalEducation rather than by proffering excuses for the imbroglio in the IIMs. Thisis where the Advanis and Vajpayees need to pay homage. Not to all the Sai Babasand the Hugging saints that they are so busy with. India is changing in spiteof them and they need to realise that. I couldn't have spent a more humane andwonderful weekend. Jamshedpur is an eye-opener and a role model, which shouldbe made mandatory for replication. I saw corporate India actually participatein basic nation-building, for when these tribal girls go back to theirvillages, they will return with knowledge that will truly be life-altering.Corporate India can do it but most of the time is willing to shy away. For thosecorporate leaders who are happier winning awards and being interviewed on theirchoice of clothes, my advise is visit Tata Steel, spend some days at Jamshedpurand see a nation's transformation. That is true service and true nationalism.Tata Steel will celebrate 100 years of existence in 2007. It won't be just amilestone in this company's history. It will be a milestone, to my mind ofcorporate transparency and generosity in this country. It is indeed fittingthat Ratan Tata today heads a group which has people who are committed tonation-building than just building influence and power. JRD must be smilingwherever he is. And so must Jamsetji Nusserwanji. These people today haveliterally climbed every last blue mountain. And continue to do so with vigourand passion. Thank God for the Tatas!

You can give, give and give love, and the best part is that you do not expect it back in return.You are generous enough.Seeing things in a practical light is what remains the best trait of you guys. If you are a Dove: You symbolize a very happy-go-lucky approach in life.Whatever the surroundings may be, grim or cheerful, you remain unaffected.In fact, you spread cheer wherever you go.

But otherwise, you love to help people out from difficult and tight spots when they really need you. If you are a Monkey: Very impatient and hyper!!! You want things to be done as quick as possible. At heart, you are quite simple and love if you are the center of attraction. That way, you people are unique. You would like to keep yourself safe from all the angles.

Is your birthday day 1 of the month?

Your Life
You are very curious and dedicative. When you are interested in something, everything else has to wait. This is your quality. But if you learn to be more patient and complete what you have started, you will be successful in life.
Your Love
You believe in love at first sight. You won't wait to learn more about the person. Vise versa, people who fail to impress you will hardly get a chance to be your friend. Your emotion is on the extreme. You can only love or hate, nothing in between and this often shows in your __ex-pression. Try not to end a relationship in a quarrel.



Is your birthday day 2 of the month?
Your Life

They certainlywon't be happy for very long behind a desk in a 9 to 5schedule. The bored Aries employee who has been forcedinto a square hole will typically be restless, angry, and careless with details. No amount of money wouldcompensate for being stuck in a routine job. Money infact isn't why they are working at all. They do wantto be paid fairly and need a status position tosatisfy their competitive tendenciesbut even more importantly, they'll want challengingnew projects. They typically like to have a sense ofresponsibility and need to feel needed. In return,they'll give their all and provide detailed, consistent work. They will literally work themselvesto exhaustion to prove themselves. If you want to keepyour Aries co-worker productive and happy, you'll wantto give them the opportunity to work independently or let them help and lead less experienced workers.Taurus Employee Profile===================Taureans make some of the best employees. They areloyal, hardworking, and no-nonsense. They workmethodically and follow projects through until they are complete. Some may appear to work a little tooslowly-usually because they are so careful-but theywill always finish what they start. They thrive onstructure, schedules, and routine. You'll find themdoing the same exact thing at the same time every day.Taureans, however, are not exactly the malleableworkers that they often appear to be. If they have towork in a chaotic environment, they won't be happy and will be prone to child-like temper tantrums andstubbornness. They might react similarly if they haveto work around ignorant people or at a job where thereis no obvious potential for advancement. Taureans will be very unhappy if there isn't a ladder for them toclimb. Even in the worst situations, they will find away to advance slowly, winning over the most difficultpeople who may stand in their way of progress. Taurus employees will only take so much patiently and happilybefore they feel they are being taken advantage of.They will gladly accept orders and do whatever dirtywork needs to get done, but they expect rewards. They want material gain, salary increases, and thepotential for more power. To make your Taurusemployees happy, be sure to give them projects throughwhich they will see tangible results-hopefullysomething that will allow them to express their unique creativity in addition to their practical side. Theydon't want to feel mired in details for long periodsof time. Make sure to schedule regular performance andsalary reviews. This show of respect should keep them loyal to the company.Gemini Employee Profile===================Gemini employees can have difficulty concentrating onone thing for long periods of time. They havequick-moving minds and love to talk and communicate their ideas with others. They thrive on socialinteraction -- even if their jobs don't particularlysupport it. You'll be able to find them wandering fromdesk to desk gossiping about all the sordid news inthe office. They can be powerful persuaders in theirspeech and make ideal salespeople and mediators. Theylove to negotiate and can work out the best Deal foreveryone involved. When properly stimulated, they can manage to keep their wandering mind focused andactually be quite productive. When they are bored,bogged down with mundane detail-work, or forced to work with people who they considerdroll,they can become mean-spirited and gossipy. Their moods can fluctuate vastly day to day, as well astheir productivity. It is really against their natureto be forced into an average workday schedule andenvironment. They are happier traveling. lf they arein an office they will need constant new stimulation.Most will be wanting advancement if they see this as away to escape the limitations of their jobs. This canmotivate them to put extra effort into their job. If you work with a Gemini, try to avoid getting into anydebates with them - they will surely win and it couldend in some hard feelings on your part. They will needan accepting environment-one that supports their need for multi-tasking.Cancer Employee Profile====================The Cancer employee isn't at work to feed their ego --their job is just a job and a means to get paid. Theywork steadily and are usually very reliable. You'll be able to depend on them to show up on time and do whatis necessary. They won't get involved in powerstruggles or get upset when someone advances beforethem. They are able to accept the situation becausethey see it simply as a rung on the ladder up. Theirmotivation is security. They'll want more money thelonger they've stayed at a job. They don't want tohave to worry about how they'll make ends meettomorrow so they'll need a stable position without much risk. Cancerian workers can slip into some darkmoods on occasion. During these periods productivitytends to drop-as well as everyone else's in theoffice. Their moods can be so strong everyone becomesaffected. To avoid the frequency of these occurrences,managers and co-workers should try to make the workenvironment as homey as possible-keep it well heated,cozy, and friendly. Don't press them to reveal their true inner thoughts-their tendency is to be secretiveand protective, and they could see prying as anattempt to disturb their security.Leo Employee Profile=================Leo workers want to be first and at the center of the office. Even if they can't lead, they'll look forevery opportunity to increase their own status -- andif someone else seems ahead of them, look out. Theywill make it clear that they aren't happy by pouting and complaining. They want advancement so much thatthey'll take on more responsibility and carry aheavier load than anyone else does in the office. Andthey are self-promoters. It is likely that they aretelling everyone in the office what a great job theyare doing as well as giving everyone unwanted advice.They know they are superior and want everyone to knowitas well. This arrogance can sometimes cause problems when working with management. But typically, they arejust hard workers out to demonstrate just how goodthey really are. They thrive in sales positions - theycan promote a product or company just as well as they promote themselves. Their strength and arrogance isn'tjust show either. In a crisis situation, Leos reallydemonstrate their true courage. Leos want to lead andwill be pushing for more responsibility and rewards. They are happy to train and mentor new co-workers asthey enjoy giving advice and being in positions ofauthority. If you are trying to manage a Leo employee,you'll need to give them plenty of praise,responsibility, and independence. They will certainly want to help lighten your load of managementresponsibilities. Just be careful- the next thing youknow they could be taking over your job.Virgo Employee Profile==================In the right situations Virgos love to work. They make idealemloyees, happily working late into the night to makesure everything is perfect and in order. If you arelooking for an employee who doesn't mind starting fromrock bottom in the most entry-level position at the company, hire a Virgo. They'll have no complaintsabout the position being beneath them. They areCONTENT with basic, honest hard work. Theircontentment isn't always apparent, however. They loveto complain and worry. They are quick to criticize the way things are done around the office and are thefirst ones to grumble disapprovingly at what theyconsider to be extravagance or laziness. They areblunt and honest and don't mince words over what theyfeel just isn't right. Usually, this will be brought on by someone doing ahalf-baked job or not being considerate of otherco-workers. You'll want to constantly reassure them,but this will do little to quell their anxieties. They actually enjoy worrying, and there is little you cando about it. Just give them a detail - orientedproject and let them work alone on it. You won't haveto supervise a Virgo worker. They'll check all thefacts before getting started and catch their ownerrors when they are done. To keep a Virgo employeehappy, you should also make sure their environment isorderly and calm. You should also provide smallgestures of appreciation. They don't need extravagance,just let them know you appreciate them insmall ways that won't embarrass them. They willprobably just shrug their shoulders and say, "It's nobig deal." But deep down inside they need these little reassurances.Libra Employee Profile==================Libra employees are detailed, dedicated workers withsensitive natures. Managers and co-workers sometimesfind them difficult to get a handle on. They pick up the energy of the office and are unable to prevent itfrom affecting them. Loud noise, flashy colors, anddiscordant vibrations will put them off so much thatthey will have difficulty fulfilling their obligations at work.One day they may seem like the most bright,hardworking, ambitious employee around. The next daythey might be down, irritated, and unable to produce.Co-workers shouldn't fret when Libra employees are in a dark mood.

If you want to keep your Libran worker smiling,give them the respect they are due and put them in aposition where they can project their great charm and diplomacy. They won't be CONTENT to take orders forvery long, either-make sure they are given increased responsibility.Scorpio Employee Profile====================Scorpio employees usually exude a quiet self-confidence. Theyare self-sufficient and do not depend on others for asense ofself-worth. They keep their private life separate fromwork andtake complete responsibility for their actions andtheir situation.They don't make excuses; they justtake care of business and expect everyone else to dothe same.

And if you tread on theirfire be sure to expect retaliation. They won't takeinsults or opposition lying down. If you manage aScorpio employee, be sure to follow through with your word and don't break any promises-Scorpio is keepingtrack and building up some heavy resentmentsagainst you if you do. You may not even be aware of ituntiltoo late-but when Scorpio gets too much, you'll be sure toknow. Scorpio employees will react towards thosearound themexactly as they are treated. When they get what theywant,they will be very accepting. If you are trying to workwith or motivate a Scorpio co-worker,be sure to treat them respectfully and act professionally. Give themchallenging work that allows them to utilize theirawesome self-confidence and courage.Sagittarius Employee Profile======================The Sagittarian employee is head strong, cheerful, and willingto help. They exude self-confidence and take on taskslike there's no tomorrow. They are willing to tackleeven the toughest of projects as long as it ischallenging and gets them out of the routine. Lucky for them, their shining personalities and honestenthusiasm seem like a bright spot in the office,otherwise co-workers might begin to build animositytowards someone so arrogant and extravagant. Theirtendency to exaggerate and take on more then they can handle usually results in missed deadlines anddropping the ball-not because they are lazy ofprocrastinate, but because their enthusiasm just getsthe better of them sometimes. Don't let theirnonchalance fool you-they really do care about what they are doing. They just have an easy-going attitudethat allows them to keep on smiling even when theyjustmessed up big time. Just because they are flexible andeasy-going doesn't mean they won't tell you exactly how they feel-what is working for them and what isn't.And they won't just blindly take orders - they need tounderstand the method and reason behind theprocess. If you are trying to motivate yourSagittarian employee, be sure to feed them plenty of challenging new projects and hint that some businesstrips might be on the horizon once deadlines are met.And whatever you do, try not to question theirintentions-it is the quickest way to make them upset.They aren'tcapable of deceit.Capricorn Employee Profile======================A Capricorn employee with too much to do is a happyworker. They need plenty of projects andresponsibility. There is no sadder sight than a Capricorn worker without a sense of responsibility.They need to be needed. They are covertly ambitious -usually not flashy or obvious about it-but you willusually know that they are serious and determinedabout advancing themselves. They are completelyscrupulous, so much so that they can beself-disparaging. But they are no pushovers. They canwear down even the toughest customers. Theirpersistence is incredible. Once they set their sights on a goal, they work away at it until the bitterend-whether the goal be that hard sell or the newhardware release. Capricorns don't work for free,however. They expect to be paid handsomely and begiven more and more responsibility. They need to come out ahead of the pack in the end,and they see the work environment as their primaryvehicle. They won't go in for the typical officegossip and politics, though. They want to get down tobusiness at work and see it as no place for foolingaround. With a strong sense of duty and respecttowards their superiors, it is rare they will join inon boss-bashing or knocking the system. They can getfrustrated, however, with blue sky management schemes that lack common sense, and they will interject theirdry sense of humor in the most critical ways.If they want change, they will be unyielding. If alltheir effortleads to naught the result will be deep moods of darkness anddepression with a sense of hopelessness. Keep yourCapricorn employee happy by paying them fairly andgiving them plenty of hard work. Arrange for a path ofadvancement within your organization for them. If you don't, you might find them looking for otheropportunities.Aquarius Employee Profile=====================The Aquarius employee can't tolerate unfairness in theoffice.Hair brained schemes will get the positive attention they deserve if an Aquarian has anything to do withit. They'll try to help everyone see the good side ofa bad situation if it's the last thing that they do.They are so smart-they can't help but hold management in disdain if they feel that they are being unfair andunintelligent. It isn't that they are overly ambitiousand think they could be doing a better job- just thatthey think people in power should know better. Most Aquarius workers are still looking for themselves andwill want to try their hand at a variety of jobs inthe workplace. Whatever they are doing, they will doconscientiously. They usually have strict personal codes that include a strong work ethic. Their bright,off-beat intelligence, and trustworthiness willtypically gain them many friends-in and out of work.Beneath that sometimes odd-ball behavior is solid,concrete thinking and sensitivity to co-workers. Keepyour smartAquarius co-worker happy by giving them plenty ofopportunityto learn news kills. Raises are less important tothem. No amount of money will make it worth their while to stay in a stagnant position. Don't let themget too bored or they will simply find another job aseasily as they found this one-their genius is easy tospot.

Today..........

Today before you think of saying an unkind word Think of someone who can't speak.
Before you complain about the taste of your food Think of someone who has nothing to eat . Before you complain about your husband or wife Think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion.
Today before you complain about life Think of someone who went too early to heaven.
Before you complain about your children Think of someone who desires children but they're barren.
Before you argue about your dirty house; someone didn't clean or sweep ,Think ofthe people who are living in the streets.
Before whining about the distance you drive Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.
And when you are tired and complain about your job Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.
But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another Remember thatnot one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker.
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down Put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive and still around. Life is a gift Live it... Enjoy it... Celebrate it... And fulfill it.
And while you are at it give love to someone today Love someone with what you do and the words you say Love is not meant to be kept locked inside of us and hidden.
So give it away"Give Love to someone today!"

Bholaji facing Malcom Marshal..:-)

Bholaji is selected to play for the Indian cricket team as an opening batsman. He opens the batting against West Indies. He is asked to face the very first over (with one Sunil Gavaskar as the non-striker!) from Marshall who is bowling at his fiercest...
First ball : Whizzes past Bholaji's off-stump. Bholaji doesn't move an inch. Ball goes to wicket-keeper.
Second ball : Goes right over the Bholaji's bat and just over the middle stump, somehow missing both the bat and the stumps. Bholaji is again unmoved.
Third ball : Is a bouncer. Almost decapitates the Bholaji, missing his head by a fraction of an inch. Ball goes to wicket-keeper. Bholaji doesn't move a muscle.
Fourth ball : Outside the leg-stump. Bholaji again doesn't move, and the ball shoots past him to the wicket-keeper. But this time, the umpire shouts "No Ball!"
Bholaji walks upto the umpire and tells him, "So you discovered it now? You see, I know from the very beginning that the guy has no ball in his hand!"

Good story-Is Life Being Unfair On You...

Around two weeks ago I was called to judge a talent contest at one of the city colleges. I noticed all the participants were given slips of paper with a topic written on it and told to come up and speak for three minutes. Lots were drawn as to who would be the first speaker and the next and the next. The first contestant I noticed looked a little disgruntled as he got onto the podium to address the others. "My fellow students and respected judges," he said loudly, "this is an unfair contest!" I, along with my fellow judges looked up surprised. "I have been given this paper," he continued, "to speak on a subject with just a few minutes preparation whereas those after me have more time to work on their speech. This is unfair!" He then proceeded to leave the stage and stormed out of the hall. Nobody missed him and the contest went on smoothly. I met him on the landing as I was being escorted out later. "Who said life is fair?" I asked him with a smile. He looked at me startled and I asked him to walk with me to my car. "Life," I told him, "is fighting the unfair and still winning! Do you read automobile magazines?" "Yes," he said eagerly, "I do." "Have you seen statistics shown when a new car is being introduced into the market? They talk about speed and torque and transmission and horse power." "Yes," he nodded. "But there is a line they put after all these figures. They say all this data is when there are ideal road conditions!" "Yes," he said again. "Show me ideal road conditions?" I asked him and he smiled. "The car that sells well," I continued, "is the car that will deliver power and speed and durability in the worst of roads, in potholes and mud and slush. That car is a winner!" We had reached my car and he stood by my side as I heaved myself in. "Don't look for ideal playing conditions," I said. "Fight the unfair and come out a winner!" I looked back in my rear view mirror as I drove away and saw him smile and wave and knew he would fight the unfair from now on. The fight never stops. Ask all the successful people in our own country. They fight regardless whether the battle is fair or unfair. Stop telling the world about the unfair deal you've got out of life; start battling the unfair, come out victorious..!

Good Story-Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation. Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside. The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene. One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man couldn't hear the band - he could see it. In his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words. Days and weeks passed. One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away. As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone. Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed. It faced a blank wall. The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window. The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you." Epilogue: There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations. Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled. If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy. "Today is a gift, that's why it is called the present."

Duplicates Of Credit Cards

They Would Make Duplicates Of Credit Cards Used By Customers At A Juhu Hotel TIMES NEWS NETWORK Mumbai: The next time you decide to use your credit card on a shopping trip, think again. The Mumbai police have busted a hitech credit card fraud which they believe is the crime of the future. Four gadget-savvy youngsters from Andheri, two of them software engineers, got together to earn a quick buck and ended up ripping off over Rs 3 lakh of citizens' money. The foursome were arrested bythe Juhu police on Tuesday. Interestingly, one of the boys was all set to leave for the United States for a job in a wellplaced computer firm. According to the poli ce, the mastermind of the gang is 19-year-old Leo Paul. A second-year engineering student at a Bandra college,Paul had read about a magnetic card-reading device which could storedata once you swipe a card through it. Data from at least 12 such cards could be stored at a time. Paul realised that if credit cards were swiped though the machine, the personal data of a customer stored on it could be accessed. He then teamed with Akash Kamble, a 19-year-old Lokhandwala resident, and ordered the card-reader from USA, using the internet, since it's not available in India. "The boys befriended a waiter at Kings International hotel at Juhuto take their plan ahead. Every time someone ate a meal in the hoteland paid by credit card, the waiter would discreetly swipe it through the magnetic card-reader, which is no more than 6-inches long and can be stored in the pocket,'' said investigating officer Ramesh Nangare. Once the waiter was done, he would hand over the device to Paul who would download the data from the cards on to Kamble's personal computer. The duo would then feed the data into blank cards, available in the grey market. The cards were now ready to be used inshopping malls and theatres, or to withdraw money from an ATM. Senior inspector Pradeep Shinde said that the boys forged information from more than 22 cards in this manner. The fraud came to light after officials from HSBC bank complained to the police. The cops quizzed customers whose cards had been duplicated and discovered they had all visited Hotel Kings International and paid by credit card. Investigators then caught the waiter who led them tothe four youngsters. Paul, Kamble and the two other collegians identified as Manoj Chauhan (24) and Mahesh Valani (20), have been remanded to police custody. NEW-AGE CRIME A portable magnetic cardreader can store data from around a dozen cards tha t have been swiped through it; made in China, the device was bought on the net for Rs 18,000. The card-reader is connected to a computer and the entire data is transferred there. The data is then stored in blank cards available in the grey market. These duplicate cards can now be used to buy a fortune and also withdraw money from ATMs.

Dumb things that people do.....

A woman came home to find her husband in the kitchen, shaking frantically with what looked like a wire running from his waist towards the electric kettle. Intending to jolt him away from the deadly current she whacked him with a handy plank of wood by the back door, breaking his arm in two places. Till that moment he had been happily listening to his Walkman. Swedish business consultant Ulf af Trolle labored 13 years on a book about Swedish economic solutions. He took the 250-page manuscript to be copied, only to have it reduced to 50,000 strips of paper in seconds when a worker confused the copier with the shredder Iraqi terrorist, Khay Rahnajet, didn't pay enough postage on a letter bomb. It came back with "return to sender" stamped on it. Forgetting it was the bomb, he opened it and was blown to bits. A doctor in Nairobi successfully removed a bean lodged in a young girl's ear. According to the Daily Nation, when her parents told him they didn't have enough to pay his bill, the doctor "grabbed the child and forced the bean back into her ear..." A man spoke frantically into the phone: "My wife is pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes apart!" "Is this her first child?" the doctor asked. "No, you idiot!" the man shouted. "This is her husband!" In Ohio, an unidentified man in his late twenties walked into a police station with a 9-inch wire protruding from his forehead, and calmly asked officers to give him an X-ray to help him find his brain, which he claimed had been stolen. Police were shocked to learn that the man had drilled a 6-inch deep hole in his skull with a Black & Decker power drill, and stuck the wire in to try and find the missing brain.
A 25-year-old Argentine man pushed his 20-year-old wife out of an eighth-floor window after an argument, but her fall was broken when her legs became entangled in power lines below. A police spokesperson told the state-run Telam news agency that when the husband saw the woman dangling beneath him, he apparently tried to throw himself on top of her to finish her off. He missed, however, and fell to his death. Meanwhile, the woman managed to swing over to a nearby balcony and was saved.
The crew of a trawler that sank in the Sea of Japan claimed their ship went down after "being struck by a cow which fell out of the clear blue sky". According to Flying magazine, no one believed this absurd explanation-- except the Russian military. It seems that the crew of a military cargo jet had stolen a cow they found wandering on a Siberian airfield, and loaded it aboard. While cruising at 30,000 feet, the terrified cow ran amok and jumped out of the plane.
