I was in flight, was going to onsite once again. Was very happy plane takes off, n takes me to the sky. I looked outside the window, nice evening scene, feels like heaven. I just lost myself in that beauty.

Someone's voice disturbed me "excuse me sir, would you like to have something?" I turned back, and was surprise to see my beautiful old schoolmate, Saakshi.

"Hey Saakshi, is that you, how come you... Wow, you looks still the same, pretty.. In this Air-hostess suit"

"Paras, wo.....w, I can’t believe this is you.. Ohh sorry I am on my job, will talk to you later"

She left smile on my face. I coudnt believe in my eyes, It reminded me my school days memories. How crazy I was about her, always followed her after the school, wrote love letters, but never dared to give one of them. Always looking at her in the class, From last bench. She was the queen of our class. I fought with 2-3 other guys for her, how stupid I was.

I coudnt stop myself, looking at her again, I was amazed to see that, she became more beautiful then she were at school. She too looked at me and smile, then she said something to her fellow air-hostess, then they both started smiling. I was clueless that wat happened. Her colleague was also damn pretty. Oh my god, today you fulfil one of my dream.

I thought of going there and having chat with her, but I knew that, its her job, so I stopped myself. Again started looking outside the window. We were above the clouds making an awesome scene outside, also inside, because of her smile.

I got some courage, I looked at her, she understood what I desired.

She came toward me and said : "extremly sorry yaar, I couldn't talk to you much, So say how are you, where have you been these many years, and whats your success story? For what purpose you are going?"

"hmmm... I was always there, it was you who left everything after school, I searched you, so many places wherever I could, but no existence of you. Then I completed my college, got a job in such a nice company, I didn't know, my company will give me this much, still I m going for an onsite Job, don't know when will return back. You know, I got everything in my life except someone, with whom I can actually share my world, my success.

Someone..."

I looked straight into her eyes.. Those blue eyes, I think she got the answer, who is that 'someone'

With some pain in her eyes, she said, "sorry got to go,will give you my number"

I again, sat back to my seat,very silent, looking outside, and hoping some answer. It was dark outside by that time, some thunder in cloud, just like inside my heart. Then suddenly, plane started getting hiccups.. Everone got scared..

I saw Saakshi running towards mic, she made an announcement, that don't be panic as they are facing a storm outside.

But plane started shaking badly, everyone started feeling its the last moment of their lives...

I keep on watching Saakshi, and she to me...

Then something hit my back hard.. And there was a complete darkness in front of me..

Deep silent, but I could still feel the shaking plane, and people's scream..

Then someone shouted... 'Paaaaarrrrrrraaaaaasssss !!!!!'

"Paras, wake up you are again sleeping in office, wake up, I need that report urgently"

Damn.. I looked here-there, same ODC, no Onsite, no plane.. No Saakshi..

I stared at my PM in anger.. Because of you only, that plane crashed!!

I STILL DON'T KNOW, WHY IT HAPPENS DAILY BETWEEN 1 TO 2pm.

No one can catch fish in anger

On the first day, as President, Abraham Lincoln entered to give his inaugural address, just in the middle, one man stood up. He was a rich aristocrat.

He said, "Mr. Lincoln, you should not forget that your father used to make shoes for my family". And the whole senate laughed; they thought they had made a fool of Abraham Lincoln.

But Lincoln - and that type of people are made of a totally different mettle. Lincoln looked at the man and said, "Sir I know that my father used to make shoes in your house for your family, and there will be many other here... because the way he made shoes; nobody else can. He was a creator. His shoes were not just shoes, he poured his whole soul in it. I want to ask you, have you any complaint? Because I know how to make shoes myself; if you have any complaint I can make another pair of shoes. But as far as I know, nobody has ever complained about my father's shoes. He was genius, a great creator and I am proud of my father".

The whole Senate was struck dumb. They could not understand what kind of a man Abraham Lincoln was. He had made the 'Shoe Making', an art, a creativity. And he was proud because his father did the job so well that not even a single complaint had ever been heard.

It does not matter what you do. What matters is how you do it - of our own accord, with your own vision, with your own love. Then whatever you touch becomes gold. Lets us try to do things in better way

those days

How did one survive growing up in the 70's, 80's and 90's? 

We had no seatbelts, no airbags..

Cycling was like a breath of fresh air… 

No safety helmets, knee pads or elbow pads, with plenty of cardboards between spokes to make it sound like a motorbike… 

When thirsty we only drank tap water, bottled water was still a mystery… 

We kept busy collecting bits & pieces so we could build all sort of things … and we were fearless on our bicycles even when the brakes failed going downhill… 

We were showing off how tough we are, by how high we could climb trees & then jumping down….It was great fun…. 

We could stay out to play for hours, as long as we got back before dark, in time for dinner… 

We walked to school, or sometimes we even rode our bicycle. 

We had no mobile phones, but we always managed to find each other…. How? 

We lost teeth, broke arms & legs, we got cuts and bruises and bloody noses…. nobody complained as we had so much fun, it wasn't anybody's fault, only ours 

We ate everything in sight, cakes, bread, chocolate, ice-cream, sweet sugary drinks, fruits..yet, we stayed skinny by fooling around. 

And if one of us was lucky to find a 1 litre coca cola bottle we all had a swig from it & guess what? Nobody picked up any germs... 

We did not have Play Stations, MP3, Nintendo's, I-Pods, Video games, 99 Cable TV channels, DVD's, Home Cinema, Home Computers, Laptops, Chat-rooms, Internet, etc ... 

BUT, we had REAL FRIENDS!!!! 

We called on friends to come out to play, never rang the doorbell, just went around the backdoor… 

We played with sticks and stones, played cowboys and Indians, doctors and nurses, hide and seek, soccer games, over and over again… 

When we failed our exams we were given a second chance by simply repeating the same grade…without visiting psychiatrists, psychologists or counselors… 

Such were the days… 

We had freedom, success, disappointments and responsibilities. .. 

Most of all, we learned to respect others… 

By Sandeep Kodandapani

One young academically excellent person went to apply for a managerial position in a big company.

He passed the first interview, the director did the last interview,made the last decision.

The director discovered from the CV that the youth's academic achievements were excellent all the way, from the secondary school until the postgraduate r esearch, never had a year when he did not score.

The director asked, "Did you obtain any scholarships in school?" the youth answered "none".

The director asked, " Was it your father who paid for your school fees?" The youth answered, "My father passed away when I was one year old, it was my mother who paid for my school fees."

The director asked, " Where did your mother work?" The youth answered, "My mother worked as clothes cleaner. The director requested the youth to show his hands. The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect.

The director asked, " Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before?" The youth answered, "Never, my mother always wanted me to study and read more books. Furthermore, my mother can wash clothes faster than me."

The director said, "I have a request. When you go back today, go and clean your mother's hands, and then see me tomorrow morning."

The youth felt that his chance of landing the job was high. When he went back, he happily requested his mother to let him clean her hands.

His mother felt strange, happy but with mixed feelings, she showed her hands to the kid.

The youth cleaned his mother's hands slowly. His tear fell as he did that. It was the first time he noticed that his mother's hands were so wrinkled, and there were so many bruises in her hands. Some bruises were so painful that his mother shivered when they were cleaned with water.

This was the first time the youth realized that it was this pair of hands that washed the clothes everyday to enable him to pay the school fee. The bruises in the mother's hands were the price that the mother had to pay for his graduation, academic excellence and his future.

After finishing the cleaning of his mother hands, the youth quietly washed all the remaining clothes for his mother. That night, mother and son talked for a very long time.

Next morning, the youth went to the director's office.
The Director noticed the tears in the y outh's eyes, asked: " Can you tell me what have you done and learned yesterday in your house?"

The youth answered, " I cleaned my mother's hand, and also finished cleaning all the remaining clothes"

The Director asked, " please tell me your feelings."

The youth said, Number 1, I know now what is appreciation. Without my mother, there would not the successful me today. Number 2, by working together and helping my mother, only I now realize how difficult and tough it is to get something done. Number 3, I have come to appreciate the importance and value of family relationship. The director said,

" This is what I am looking for to be my manager. I want to recruit a person who can appreciate the help of others, a person who knows the sufferings of others to get things done, and a person who would not put money as his only goal in life. You are hired."

Later on, this young person worked very hard, and received the respect of his subordinates. E very employee worked diligently and as a team.

The company's performance improved tremendously.

A child, who has been protected and habitually given whatever he wanted, would develop "entitlement mentality" and would always put himself first. He would be ignorant of his parent's efforts. When he starts work, he assumes that every person must listen to him, and when he becomes a manager, he would never know the sufferings of his employees and would always blame others. For this kind of people, who may be good academically, may be successful for a while, but eventually would not feel sense of achievement. He will grumble and be full of hatred and fight for more. If we are this kind of protective parents, are we really showing love or are we destroying the kid instead?

You can let your kid live in a big house, eat a good meal, learn piano, watch a big screen TV. But when you are cutting grass, please let them experience it. After a meal, let them wash their plates and bowls together with their brothers and sisters. It is not becau se you do not have money to hire a maid, but it is because you want to love them in a right way. You want them to understand, no matter how rich their parents are, one day their hair will grow gray, same as the mother of that young person. The most important thing is your kid learns how to appreciate the effort and experience the difficulty and learns the ability to work with others to get things done.

Lost

Shared by Divya




A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. 
She reduced altitude and spotted a man below. She descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me Sir, can you help me? I promised a friend, I would meet him an hour ago but I don't know where I am."
The man below replied, "You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude."
''You must be an engineer," said the lady balloonist. "I am", replied the man. 'How did you know?'
''Well", answered the lady in the balloon, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip even more."
The engineer below responded, "You must be in Top Management." ''I am", replied the lady balloonist, "but, how did you know?''
"Well," said the Engineer, "You don't know where you are, or where you're going. You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you, to solve your problems."   

Its all about Rajani

Have you heard the one about how Rajanikanth can strangle you with a cordless phone?

What do you do to kill time when you are at the back of a serpentine line-up in front of a cinema hall selling Endhiran tickets? Tell Rajanikanth jokes, of course.

A host of one-liners extolling the Tamil superstar has the Internet buzzing ahead of the release of his mega movie Endhiran/The Robot.

Tickets for Endhiran sold out within an hour of the opening of bookings in Tamil Nadu, a week ahead of the film’s release.

Absurd in their improbability but increasingly imaginative, Rajanikanth jokes draw inspiration from the actor’s larger than life persona on and off screen.

Capable of drawing a guffaw from even the staunchest of Rajini critics, the jokes vary from witty to the downright ridiculous.

Sample this. When Rajanikanth does push-ups, he isn't lifting himself up. He is pushing the earth down.

Mostly the jokes are a fallback on veteran martial arts expert and actor Chuck Norris who can give the Tamil superstar a run for his money, which die-hard Rajini fans will undoubtedly debate.

After serving in the United States Air Force, Norris started his own martial arts school and starred in television series Walker, Texas Ranger. Multiplying and mutating over the internet, the jokes on Norris have found their way to India, only Norris is replaced with Rajanikanth.

Norris’ huge popularity started a cult-like following on the internet, which was later satirized and popularized further by late night anchors on US television such as Connan O’Brien. Jokes on Norris’ strength, physique, abilities, body hair and virility started a whole new fad in America.

Norris fans started the no-brainer “There is no such thing as evolution. It's just a list of creatures that Chuck Norris has allowed to live.” Rajini fans responded in kind: Rajanikanth once ordered a plate of idli in McDonald's, and got it.

The Norris factoids, as the jokes are popularly known, became a phenomenon in popular culture through repetition and expanded to include other figures as well.

The Rajanikanth factoids, attributing impossible feats to the action hero, have found their way through the word of mouth in college campuses, cafeterias and offices.

Circulated as forwarded mails and mobile text messages, writers of the Rajanikanth one-liners are constantly vying to outdo themselves.

Here’s the proof. Rajanikanth will attain separate statehood in 2013. Or this. Rajanikanth doesn't move at the speed of light. Light moves at the speed of Rajanikanth.

From the most common bullet jokes - the action superstar splits a bullet in two to kill two villains at one time - to killing the Dead Sea, Rajanikanth quips have found their way into Indian popular culture, irrespective of geographical boundaries.

Here are some of the Rajini one-liners from the Internet you shouldn’t miss:

• Rajnikanth can divide by zero.
• Rajanikanth can slam a revolving door.
• Rajanikanth destroyed the periodic table, because he only recognizes the element of surprise.
• Rajanikanth has counted to infinity, twice.
• Rajanikanth once got into a knife-fight. The knife lost.
• Rajanikanth never wet his bed as a child. The bed wet itself in fear.
• There are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Rajanikanth lives in Chennai.
• Rajanikanth does not own a stove, oven, or microwave, because revenge is a dish best served cold.
• Rajanikanth knows Victoria's secret.
• Water boils faster when Rajanikanth stares at it.
• Rajanikanth kills two stones with one bird.
• Google won't find Rajanikanth because you don't find Rajanikanth; Rajanikanth finds you.
• Rajanikanth can answer a missed call.
• Rajanikanth can speak Braille.
• Rajanikanth can dodge Chuck Norris' roundhouse kicks.
• Rajanikanth calls Voldemort by his name.
• Chuck Norris once met Rajanikanth. The result - He was reduced to a joke on the internet.
• Rajanikanth’s calendar goes straight from March 31st to April 2nd, no one fools Rajanikanth.
• Rajanikanth grinds his coffee with his teeth and boils the water with his own rage.
• Rajanikanth once ate an entire bottle of sleeping pills. They made him blink.
• Rajanikanth doesn’t wear a watch. He decides what time it is.
• In an average living room there are 1,242 objects Rajanikanth could use to kill you, including the room itself.
• Rajanikanth knows what women really want.
• Rajanikanth doesn't need a visa to travel abroad, he just jumps from the tallest building in Chennai and holds himself in the air while the earth rotates.
• Archaeologists unearthed an old English dictionary dating back to the year 1236. It defined “victim” as “one who has encountered Rajanikanth”.
• There is no such thing as global warming. Rajanikanth was feeling cold, so brought the sun closer to heat the earth up.

Rajanikanth's first job was as a bus conductor. There were no survivors.

From Kumar B M

Financial Management with example :)

A beggar to another beggar: I had a grand dinner at the Taj yesterday. How? The other beggar asked. First beggar: Someone gave me a Rs. 100/- note yesterday. I went to the Taj and ordered dinner worth Rs. 1,000/- and enjoyed the dinner. When the bill came, I told that I had no money. The Manager called the policeman and handed me over to him. I gave the Rs. 100/- note to the policeman and he set me free.

A wonderful example of financial management indeed!

PS: You are innovative as long as you keep your source secret! This is just another sharing :)
