The one and only daily entertainment dose of every Indian. Lets check out some goods and bads of Doordarshan and our memory power. Most of the serials were of 13 episodes and so people were associated with character for 2-3 months and it made more concentrated and sensible serials. - Ramayan and Mahabharat- how can we mention doordarshan without Ramayan and Mahabharat? Literally there was Curfew like situation on Sunday mornings when these two epics were telecasted. These serials made life of Arun Govil (Ram), Mukesh Khanna (Bhisma), Punit issar (duryodhan), Rupa Ganguli (Draupadi) , Dipilka(Sita) etc.. Though technically poor, these two serials created mass histeria for TV selling. People used to do pooja of TV before starting of these serials. Harish Bhimanis voice as main samay hoon made great impact in Mahabharat. I liked Dara singh as Hanuman very much. - Malgudi Days- this serial needs a separate post. Based on R K Narayans book, made by Shankar Naag , this serial is the best of all time serials I have ever seen. and the title theme taana na taana na na I can remember it today also with R K Laxmans sketches. - Udaan- based on Kiran Bedis life, Kavita chaudhary was lead actress and serial was quite popular. Story of a girls journey to become an IPS officer. - Daane Anaar Ke one middle class family wins lottery and how behaviour of family and people related with them changes a nice story. I can recall only Neena gupta. Perhaps Gulzar wrote the title song kissa hai kahaani hai paheli hai - Mirza Ghalib- Jab Gulzar, Jagjit singh and Naseeruddn shah saath me ho to poochna hi kya?. I was too immature to understand this serial. So not much memory associated with this serial. - Humlog, Buniyaad- I was too small at that time, cant remember much except Dada Monis speech at the end of every episode. - Nukkad- Dilip Dhawan, khopdi, and other popular actors born with this serial. Directed by Aziz mirza this serial was quite populat at that time. - Cartoons- Ducktales, Telespin after Chanakya at 10:30 these two cartoons were telecasted. I can recall Uncle screwz only. - Junglebook -I can recall some characters Mowglee, Bagira, Sherkhan. Sherekhans voice was given by Nana Patekar and music was given by todays genius director Vishal Bhardwaj and lyrics was by Gulzaar saab. Remember that amar song jungle jungle baat chali hai pataa chala hai, chaddi pehen ke phool khila hai.. Akira Kurosawas name was also there in titles. Dont for what purpose. - Stoneboy- Master Ankur was as stone boy and was living on hills and a group of students goes for picnic and then bring stone boy with them - Sigma- a sci-fi serial based on space and space shuttles. - Chandrakanta- started very well but lost interest after introduction of too many characters and complicated story. Shahbaaz khan and Shikha swaroop was lead actors. I can recall two names of citiesNaugadh and Vijay gadh. But serial gave fame to Kroor Singh played by Akhilendra Mishra. - Chanakya- a truly classic serial by Dr. Chandraparakash Dwivdi (director of Pinjar) also made life of Pamod moutho(Villain of Khalnayak) - Vikram Vetaal again technically poor serial by Ramanad Sagar before Ramayan. But I liked lot as a child. Arun Govil played role of king Vikram - Vyomkesh Bakshi The best detective serial I have ever seen. Rajat kapoor( Gandhiji in Making of mahatama and seen in almost every film of Shyam Benegal like zubeida, Suraj ka saatvan ghoda, Sardar Begam) was as Vyomkesh bakshi in dhoti and kurta and K K Raina as his assistant much much better than todays CID. - Talaash- This serial was based on the search of some person. Cant remember much. But main actor was Alok Naath and directed by great Hrishikesh Mukerjee. - Rangoli- countless Sunday mornings started with Rangoli. no song was repeated. - Tenaliraman- Birbal of south India – played by Vijay Kashyap, had pure entertainment. - Phir wohi talaash- directed by Lekh tendon. I can recall only Madan Jain (one of the character in Ankush) and Nilima Azim (Shahid kapurs mother). The story was a small town boy comes to metro and falls in love with a rich and sophisticated girl. Virendra Saxena played father of Madan Jain. - Muzrim Haajir- Nutan was lead actress and Virendra singh and Navani parihaar was introduced in this serial. serial had Bengali background and I can remember goon goona, goon goona, goon goona re goon goona - Nupur- directed by Hema malini and lead actor was Sudesh Berry and had background of classical dance and music. - Circus- when shahrukh khan was top star of TV he did this serial with Renuka Shahane. I think it was directed by Aziz Mirza. Also had lots of actors of Nukkad. - Tipu sultan- this serial created lots of hype before its telecast and sanjay khan invested lots of money and hard work in it. Shahbaaz Khan became quite popular as Hyder Ali which bagged him a film as a hero Naachne waale Gaane waale directed by B. Subhash with Kadarkhan, Shakri kapoor and Shiba. - Vishwamitra- created lots of hype as this was second serial of Mukesh khanna after Mahabharat. Bhanupriya played role of Urvashi. - Kille ka rahasya- dont recall much, but I used to close my eyes when a big Punja was coming closer to camera. - 1234- a child detective serial. Can remember the song ek do teen char, chro mikar saath chale to karde chamatkar - Lok lok ki baatein, Katha saagar- serials based on different stories by different writers. - Sauda- made by B.R. chopra and story was associated with freedom movement. Can remember its title song yeh zindagi hai ek sauda - Chitrahaar- evey Wednesday and Friday at 80 clock with dinner. - Karamchand- Pankaj kapoor as karamchand (with carrot) and Sushmita mukerjee as kitty. directed by Pankaj Parashur. - Jugalbandhi- after the success of karamchand this serial was started. One of the detective was Radha Sheth and other male detective cant remember. - Fauji- First serial of SRK which made him quite popular on TV. - Tamash- directed by Govind Nihalani, the serial had huge starcast like ompuri, amrishpuri, deepa sahi etc. created some controvery also. - Manzil apni apni- lead actors were Mohan bhandari and Radha sheth. a young man goes to a village to make it a better place. - Fatichar- Pankaj Kapur as fatichar. First time I saw people leaving in huge govt. water pipes. It was humorous light comedy serial. - Mrignayani- the story was- a king attracted by beauty of a girl. Amol palekar directed this serial and Pallavi Joshi was lead actress. - Humraahi this serial gave fame to Writer Manohar shyaam joshi and Himani Shivpuri. First serial having external marital affairs. - Surbhi first interesting and entertaining information based programme. Renuka Sahane was introduced in surbhi. Sidhdharth Kak and Renuka both were host in this programme. Renukas hair cut and colgate smile were quite popular. This programme created question and answer contest first time on TV. - Guniram- story of a villager who comes to city and makes mistakes every day. Rakesh bedi played role of Guniram. - Mr. Yogi- an NRI comes to India in search of his bride. His meeting with different girls with different backgrounds and then comedy emerges. Mohan Gokhle was Mr. Yogi and director was Ketan Mehta. I cant forget the last episode where ice-cream was thrown in the party. - Mungerilal ke haseen sapne- talented Raghuvir Yaadav as Mungherilal used to see dreams of a person whichever attracts him. Perhaps director was Prakash Jha. - Kakkaji kaheen- Om puri was kakkaji. A comedy serial and kakkaji was used to laugh at the end of every sentence. - Bharat ek khoj-based on Pt. Jawaharlal Nehrus book Discovery of India, directed by Shyam Benegal. I cant recall much because serial was too heavy and I am not at that level that digest this kind of serial. In one episode Aloknath played role of Swami Vivekanand. - Lekhu- Lekhu (mohan gokhle) is villager with tremendous talent and was used by a professor ( I think aloknath) - Deviji- starring Annu kapoor and swaroop sampat- telecasted in afternoon. Then there was lots of serials like Ekkai dahai sekda, Nirmala, Gaurav, Param veer chakra, Lahun ke phool, Intezaar, Dil Dariyaa, Honee Anhonee.. which were quite popular. remember some video songs like - Mile sur mera tumhara- almost every day this song was shown. I saw it only for the scene where AB, Jeetendra and Mithun was shown together. - Sun sun mere nanhe sun- a video directed by subhash ghai at time of 1992 riots. It had Jackie shroff, Rajnikanth, chiranjeevi and bunch of starts popular at that time. And at last some irritating things on doordarshan… - The boards- Rookavat ke liye khed hai. - Same old faces in the news every day. I remember some of the names like Shammy Narang , Sarla Maheswari, Salma Sultan.. - Nritya ka Akhil Bhartiya Karyakram - Focus- a discussion programme in English based on current issues – I never seen its any episode but after some popular serial it was telecasted so I knew it.

What is swine flu? Swine flu is a respiratory disease, caused by influenza type A which infects pigs. There are many types, and the infection is constantly changing. Until now it has not normally infected humans, but the latest form clearly does, and can be spread from person to person - probably through coughing and sneezing. What is new about this type of swine flu? The World Health Organization has confirmed that at least some of the human cases are a never-before- seen version of the H1N1 strain of influenza type A. H1N1 is the same strain which causes seasonal outbreaks of flu in humans on a regular basis. But this latest version of H1N1 is different: it contains genetic material that is typically found in strains of the virus that affect humans, birds and swine. Flu viruses have the ability to swap genetic components with each other, and it seems likely that the new version of H1N1 resulted from a mixing of different versions of the virus, which may usually affect different species, in the same animal host. Pigs provide an excellent 'melting pot' for these viruses to mix and match with each other. How dangerous is it? Symptoms of swine flu in humans appear to be similar to those produced by standard, seasonal flu. These include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, chills and fatigue. Can it be treated? The US authorities say that two drugs commonly used to treat flu, Tamiflu and Relenza, seem to be effective at treating cases that have occurred there so far. However, the drugs must be administered at an early stage to be effective. Use of these drugs may also make it less likely that infected people will pass the virus on to others. What measures can I take to prevent infection? Avoid close contact with people who appear unwell and who have fever and cough. General infection control practices and good hygiene can help to reduce transmission of all viruses, including the human swine influenza. This includes covering your nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing, using a tissue when possible and disposing of it promptly. It is also important to wash your hands frequently with soap and water to reduce the spread of the virus from your hands to face or to other people and cleaning hard surfaces like door handles frequently using a normal cleaning product. If caring for someone with a flu-like illness, a mask can be worn to cover the nose and mouth to reduce the risk of transmission. The UK is looking at increasing its stockpile of masks for healthcare workers for this reason. But experts say there is no scientific evidence to support more general wearing of masks to guard against infections. Is it safe to eat pig meat? Yes. There is no evidence that swine flu can be transmitted through eating meat from infected animals. However, it is essential to cook meat properly. A temperature of 70C (158F) would be sure to kill the virus.

The angel Gabriel came to the Lord and said 'I have to talk to you urgently. We have some Indians up here in heaven and they are causing problems. They're swinging on the pearly gates, my horn is missing, they are wearing Dolce and Gabana saris instead of their white robes, they are riding Mercedes' and BMWs instead of the chariots, and they're selling their halos to people for discounted prices. They refuse to keep the stairway to Heaven clear, since they keep crouching down midway eating samosas and drinking chai. Some of them are even walking around with just one wing!'
The Lord said, 'Indians are Indians. Heaven is home to all my children. If you want to know about real problems, give Satan a call.'
Satan answered the phone, 'Hello? Damn, hold on a minute.' Satan returned to the phone, 'OK I'm back. What can I do for you?'
Gabriel replied, 'I just wanted to know what kind of problems you're having down there.'
Satan says, 'Hold on again. I need to check on something.' After about 5 minutes Satan returns to the phone and said, 'I'm back. Now, what was the question?'
Gabriel said, 'What kind of problems are you having down there?'
Satan says, 'Man, I don't believe this! Hold on.' This time Satan was gone at least 15 minutes. He returned and said, "I'm sorry Gabriel, I can't talk right now... These Indians are trying to install air conditioning and making hell a comfortable place to live in by putting out the fire. Moreover they are so tech savvy, they were trying to start a telephone connection between heaven and hell...I am having such a hard time controlling and dealing with them!! Some were trying to start a chai - pakora shop, which I had to stop...
As a clincher, Satan then said, "I am recommending to the Lord to send them back onto earth as soon as they arrive, as re-birth cases". Cheers!

While visiting India, George Bush is invited to tea with Abdul Kalam. He asks Kalam, what his leadership philosophy is. He says that, it is to surround himself with intelligent people. Bush asks how he knows if they're intelligent. "I do so by asking them the right questions," says Kalam. "Allow me to demonstrate." Bush watches as Kalam phones Manmohan Singh and says, "Mr. Prime Minister, please answer this question: Your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or sister. Who is it?" Manmohan immediately responds, "It's me, Sir !" "Correct. Thank you and good-bye" says Kalam. He hangs up and says," Did you get that, Mr. Bush?" Bush nods: "Yes Mr. President. Thanks a lot. I'll definitely be using that!" Bush, upon returning to Washington, decides he'd better put Condoleezza Rice to the test.. Bush summons her to the White House and says, "Condoleezza, I wonder if you can answer a question for me." "Why, of course, sir. What's on your mind?" Bush poses the question: "Uhh, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?" Rice was puzzled and finally asks, "Can I think about it and get back to you?" Bush agrees, and Rice leaves. Rice immediately calls a meeting of senior senators, and they puzzle over the question for several hours, but nobody can come up with an answer. Finally, in desperation, Rice calls Colin Powell and explains the problem. "Mr. Powell, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister.. Who is it?" Powell answers immediately, "It's me, of course." Much relieved, Rice rushes back to the White House, finds George Bush, and exclaims, "I know the answer, sir! I know who it is! It's our Colin Powell!" And Bush replies in disgust, "Wrong, . . it's Manmohan Singh!"

According to studies, the first letter of your first name reveals your sexual identity ... What do you think? -A- You are not particularly romantic, but you are interested in action. You mean business. With you, what you see is what you get. You have no patience for flirting and can't be bothered with someone who is trying to be coy, cute, demure, and subtly enticing. You are an up front person. When it comes to sex, it's action that counts not obscure hints. Your mate's physical attractiveness is important to you. You find the chase and challenge of the "hunt" invigorating. You are passionate and sexual as well as being much more adventurous than you appear; however, you do not go around advertising these qualities. Your physical needs are your primary concern. -B- You give off vibes of lazy sensuality. You enjoy being romanced, wined, and dined. You are very happy to receive gifts as an expression of the affection of your lover. You want to be pampered and know how to pamper your mate. You are private in your expression of endearments and particularly when it comes to lovemaking. You will hold off until everything meets with your approval. You can control your appetite and abstain from sex if need be. You require new sensations and experiences. You are willing to experiment. -C- You are a very social individual, and it is important to you to have a relationship. You require closeness and togetherness. You must be able to talk to your sex partner before, during, and after. You want the object of your affection to be socially acceptable and good looking. You see your lover as a friend and companion.

Sex to you is a pleasure to be enjoyed. You are stimulated by the eccentric and unusual, having a free and open. -E- Your greatest need is to talk. If your date is not a good listener, you have trouble relating. A person must be intellectually stimulating or you are not interested sexually. You need a friend for a lover and a companion for a bedmate. You hate disharmony and disruption, but you do enjoy a good argument once in a while it seems to stir things up. You flirt a lot, for the challenge is more important than the sexual act for you, but once you give your heart away, you are uncompromisingly loyal. When you don't have a good lover to fall asleep with, you will fall asleep with a good book. (Sometimes, in fact, you prefer a good look.) -F- You are idealistic and romantic, putting your lover on a pedestal. You look for the very best mate you can find.

You are a sensual and patient lover. -I- You have a great need to be loved, appreciated. .. Even worshipped. You enjoy luxury, sensuality, and pleasures of the flesh.

You are more sensual than sexual, but you are sometimes downright lustful. -J- You are totally simply marvelous! -K- You can be very romantic, attached to the glamour of love. Having a partner is of paramount importance to you. You are free in your expression of love and are willing to take chances, try new sexual experiences and partners, provided it's all in good taste. Brains turn you on. You must feel that your partner is intellectually stimulating, otherwise you will find it difficult to sustain the relationship. You require loving, cuddling, wining, and dining to know that you're being appreciated. -L- You are very romantic, idealistic, and somehow you believe that to love means to suffer.

Sex is serious business; thus you demand intensity and diversity, and are willing to try anything or anyone. Sometimes your passions turn to possessiveness, which must be kept in check. -P- You are very conscious of social proprieties. You wouldn't think of doing anything that might harm your image or reputation. Appearances count, therefore, you require a good-looking partner. You also require an intelligent partner. Oddly enough, you may view your partner as your enemy; A good fight stimulates those sex vibes. You are relatively free of sexual hang-ups. You are willing to experiment and try new ways of doing things. You are very social and sensual; you enjoy flirting and need a good deal of physical gratification. -Q- You require constant activity and stimulation. You have tremendous physical energy.

You need someone who can keep pace with you and who is your intellectual equal the smarter the better. You are turned on more quickly by a great mind than by a great body. However, physical attractiveness is very important to you. You have to be proud of your partner. You are privately very sexy, but you do not brag, you are willing to serve as teacher. Sex is important; you can be a very demanding playmate. -S- You are secretive, self-contained, and shy. You are very sexy, sensual, and passionate, but you do not let on to this. Only in intimate privacy will this part of your nature reveal itself. When it gets down to the nitty-gritty, you are an expert.

Music, soft lights and romantic thoughts turn you on. You fantasize, but do not tend to fall in and out of love easily. When in love, you are romantic, idealistic, mushy, and extremely intense. You enjoy having your senses and your feelings stimulated, titillated, and teased. You are a great flirt. You can make your relationships fit your dreams, oftentimes all in your own head. -U- You are enthusiastic and idealistic when in love. When not in love, you are in love with love, always looking for someone to adore. You see romance as a challenge. You are a roamer and need adventure, excitement, and freedom. You deal in potential relationships. You enjoy giving gifts and enjoy seeing your mate looking good. Your sex drive is strong and you desire instant ratification.

One fine day, an old couple around the age of 70, walks into a lawyer's office. Apparently, they are there to file a divorce. Lawyer was very puzzled, after having a chat with them, he got their story....This couple had been quarreling all their 40 over yrs of marriage nothing ever seems to go right. They hang on because of their children, afraid that it might affect their up-bringing. Now, all their children have already grown up, have their own family, there's nothing else the old couple have to worry about, all they wanted is to lead their own life free from all these years of unhappiness from their marriage, so both agree on a divorce.... Lawyer was having a hard time trying to get the papers done, because he felt that after 40 yrs of marriage at the age of 70, he couldn't understand why the old couple would still want a divorce.. While they were signing the papers, the wife told the husband.. "I really love u, but i really cant carry on anymore, I'm sorry.." "Its o.k, i understand.. " said the husband. Looking at this, the lawyer suggested a dinner together, just 3 of them,wife thought, why not, since they are still gonna be friends.. At the dining table, there was a silence of awkwardness. The first dish was roasted chicken, immediately, the old man took the drumstick for the old lady.."take this, its your favorite.." Looking at this, the lawyer thought maybe there is still a chance, but the wife was frowning when she answer.." This is always the problem, you always think so highly of yourself, never thought about how I feel, don't you know that i hate drumsticks?" Little did she know that, over the years, the husband have been trying all ways to please her, little did she know that drumsticks was the husband's favorite. Little did he know that she never thought he understand her at all, little did he know that she hates drumsticks even though all he wants is the best for her. That night, both of them couldn't sleep, toss and turn, toss and turn...after hours, the old man couldn't take it anymore, he knows that he still loves her, and he cant carry on life without her, he wants her back, he wants to tell her, he is sorry, he wanted to tell her "i love you"... He picks up the phone, starting dialing her number....ringing never stops..he never stop dialing.... On the other side, she was sad, she couldn't understand how come after all these years, he still doesn't understand her at all, she loves him a lot, but she just cant take it anymore....phone' s ringing, she refuses to answer knowing that its him..."whats the point of talking now that its over...i have ask for it and now i wanna keep it this way, if not i will lose face.."she thought...still ringing...she have decided to pull out the cord... Little did she remember, he have heart problems... The next day, she received news that he had passed away...she rushed down to his apartment, saw his body, lying on the couch still holding on to the phone...he had a heart attack when he was still trying to get through her phone line.... As sad as she could be...she will have to clear his belongings.. .when she was looking thru the drawers, she saw this insurance policy, dated from the day they got married, with the beneficiary being her... And together in those file, there was this note... "To my dearest wife, by the time you're reading this, I'm sure I'm no longer around, I bought this policy for you, though the amount is only $100k, I hope it will be able to help me continue my promise that i have made when we got married, I might not be around anymore, I want this amount of money to continue taking care of you, just like the way I will if I could have live longer. I want you to know I will always be around, by your side... " I LOVE YOU SWEET HEART" Tears flowed like river...... "When you love someone, let them know... You never know what will happen the next minute.... Learn to build a life together.. Learn to love each other. For who they are.. not what they are..."

Let's say it's 6.15pm and you're driving home (alone of course) after an unusually hard day on the job. You're really tired, and frustrated…… YOU ARE REALLY STRESSED AND UPSET …. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to radiate out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far WHAT TO DO ??? YOU HAVE BEEN TRAINED IN CPR, BUT THE GUY THAT CONDUCTED THE COURSE DID NOT TELL YOU HOW TO PERFORM IT ON YOURSELF !!! HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE? SINCE MANY PEOPLE ARE ALONE WHEN THEY SUFFER A HEART ATTACK, WITHOUT HELP, THE PERSON WHOSE HEART IS BEATING IMPROPERLY AND WHO BEGINS TO FEEL FAINT, HAS ONLY ABOUT 10 SECONDS LEFT BEFORE LOSING CONSCIOUS WHAT TO DO ?? ANSWER: DO NOT PANIC, BUT START COUGHING REPEATEDLY AND VERY VIGOROUSLY. A DEEP BREATH SHOULD BE TAKEN BEFORE EACH COUGH, THE COUGH MUST BE DEEP AND PROLONGED, AS WHEN PRODUCING SPUTUM FROM DEEP INSIDE THE CHEST. A BREATH AND A COUGH MUST BE REPEATED ABOUT EVERY TWO SECONDS WITHOUT LET-UP UNTIL HELP ARRIVES, OR UNTIL THE HEART IS FELT TO BE BEATING NORMALLY AGAIN. DEEP BREATHS GET OXYGEN INTO THE LUNGS AND COUGHING MOVEMENTS SQUEEZE THE HEART AND KEEP THE BLOOD CIRCULATING. THE SQUEEZING PRESSURE ON THE HEART ALSO HELPS IT REGAIN NORMAL RHYTHM. IN THIS WAY, HEART ATTACK VICTIMS CAN GET TO A HOSPITAL ARTICLE PUBLISHED ON N.º 240 OF JOURNAL OF GENERAL HOSPITAL ROCHESTER TELL AS MANY OTHER PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE ABOUT THIS. IT COULD SAVE THEIR LIVES !!! DON'T EVER THINK THAT YOU ARE NOT PRONE TO HEART ATTACK AS YOUR AGE IS LESS THAN 25 OR 30. NOWADAYS DUE TO THE CHANGE IN THE LIFE STYLE, HEARTATTACK IS FOUND AMONG PEOPLE OF ALL AGE GROUPS. BE A FRIEND AND PLEASE SEND THIS ARTICLE TO AS MANY FRIENDS AS POSSIBLE

A Priest dies & is awaiting his turn in line at the Heaven's Gates. Ahead of him is a guy, fashionably dressed, in dark sun glasses, a loud shirt, leather jacket & jeans. God asks him: Please tell me who are you, so that I may know whether to admit you into the kingdom of Heaven or not? The guy replies: I am Pandi, Auto driver from Chennai! God consults his ledger, smiles & says to Pandi: Please take this silken robe & gold scarf & enter the Kingdom of Heaven ... Now it is the priest's turn. He stands erect and speaks out in a booming voice: I am Pope's Assistant so & so, Head Priest of the so & so Church for the last 40 years. God consults his ledger & says to the Priest: Please take this cotton robe & enter the Kingdom of Heaven ... 'Just a minute,' says the agonized Priest. 'How is it that a foul mouthed, rash driving Auto Driver is given a Silken robe & a Golden scarf and me, a Priest, who's spent his whole life preaching your Name &goodness has to make do with a Cotton robe?' 'Results my friend, results,' shrugs God. 'While you preached, people SLEPT; but when he drove his Auto, people PRAYED' It's PERFORMANCE & not POSITION that ultimately counts!!

In what could be a Diwali gift for the common man, government on Thursday said in the Lok Sabha that an announcement on reduction of fuel prices will be made within a week, keeping in view the falling global crude prices. "The matter is being examined and an announcement would be made within a week," Petroleum Minister Murli Deora said during Question Hour in reply to a spate of supplementaries on the issue as Opposition members insisted that the fuel prices be brought down forthwith. Global crude prices have come down below $67 a barrel from a high of $147 and now the government should live upto its promise and reduce prices of petroleum products, the members said. Deora also faced wrath of members over the 'bailout' package to airlines at the cost of the common man. The petroleum minister and the Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel denied that any bailout has been given and said only deferment of outstandings has been allowed. To a question from BSP's Brajesh Pathak whether the government will give free diesel to farmers, Deora pointed out that even now, huge subsidy was being given on various petroleum products. He said the question was 'wrong'. But members of the BSP, Left and the NDA were in no mood to listen and they staged a noisy walkout. Earlier this week, Finance Minister P Chidambaram had said in the Lok Sabha that India's administered prices of petrol, diesel, LPG and kerosene were based on Indian basket at $67 a barrel. When price comes down to $67 a barrel, then oil companies are breaking even, Chidambaram had said. BJD member Braj Kishore Tripathy asked, "What is the policy of the government when global crude prices have declined." Deora said the government was waiting for further reduction in global crude prices and would consider the matter later. But as members got agitated and wanted an immediate response, he said a decision would be announced within a week.

Have you heard the story of "The Washer-man and the Foolish Donkey"?
PART – I To refresh your memory, and for the benefit of those who have not grown up listening to this moral story, it goes like this… There was once a washer man who had a donkey and a dog. One night when the whole world was sleeping, a thief broke into the house, the washer man was fast asleep but the donkey and the dog were awake. The dog decided not to bark since the master did not take good care of him and wanted to teach him a lesson. The donkey got worried and said to the dog that if he doesn't bark, the donkey will have to do something himself. The dog did not change his mind and the donkey started braying loudly. Hearing the donkey bray, the thief ran away, the master woke up and started beating the donkey for braying in the middle of the night for no reason. Moral of the story " One must not engage in duties other than his own" PART – I (Returns) Now take a new look at the same story… The washer man was a well educated man from a premier management institute. He had the fundas of looking at the bigger picture and thinking out of the box. He was convinced that there must be some reason for the donkey to bray in the night. He walked outside a little and did some fact finding, applied a bottom up approach, figured out from the ground realities that there was a thief who broke in and the donkey only wanted to alert him about it. Looking at the donkey's extra initiative and going beyond the call of the duty, he rewarded him with lot of hay and other perks and became his favorite pet. The dog's life didn't change much, except that now the donkey was more motivated in doing the dogs duties as well. In the annual appraisal the dog managed a "meets requirement". Soon the dog realized that the donkey is taking care of his duties and he can enjoy his life sleeping and lazing around. The donkey was rated as "star performer". The donkey had to live up to his already high performance standards. Soon he was over burdened with work and always under pressure and now is looking for a job rotation .....
Disclaimer: All characters in the story are not at all imaginary. Any resemblance to person living or dying of work is purely intentional.

DO NOT IGNORE THIS ……. Especially those fond of Maggi…… "CORRECT WAY OF COOKING NOODLES" The correct way to cook instant noodles without harming our bodies and health. `Normally, how we cook the instant noodles is to put the noodles into a pot with water, throw in the powder and let it cook for around 3 minutes and then it's ready to eat.
This is the WRONG method of cooking the instant noodles.
By doing this, when we actually boil the ingredients in the powder, normally with MSG, it will change the molecular structures of the MSG causing it to be toxic.
The other thing that you may or may not realize is that, the noodles are coated with wax and it will take around 4 to 5 days for the body to excrete the wax after you have taken the noodles.
CORRECT METHOD :
1. boil the noodles in a pot with water. 2. once the noodles is cooked, take out the noodles, and throw away the water which contains wax. 3. boil another pot of water till boiling and put the noodles into the hot boiling water and then shut the fire. 4. only at this stage when the fire is off, and while the water is very hot, put the ingredient with the powder into the water, to make noodle soup. 5. however, if you need dry noodles, take out the noodles and add the ingredient with the powder and toss it to get dry noodles.
Dietician's Note: If you buy plain hakka noodles which you make initially need to boil in water and discard the water. This will soften the noodles but to prevent it from sticking we need to add a tbsp of oil and also the noodles are deep fried partially to make it crunchy and then dusted with flour to prevent it from sticking while boiling.
Hence when you buy the noodles they are already made unhealthy and this is the type we use to make stir fry noodles and the regular maggi too is made the same way plus they add MSG/ ajinomoto and other chemical preservatives. A large number of patient with the ages ranging from 18-24 years are ending up with pancreatitis either as a swelling or infection of the ancreas due to regular consumption of instant noodles.... If the Frequency is more than 3 times a week, then it is very hazardous…
Please share this info and help save a life.
Very nice story !!! Don't Miss to Read it.
An elderly man in Mumbai calls his son in New York and says,
'I hate to ruin your day son, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are getting a divorce; 35 years of marriage... and that much misery is enough!'
'Dad, what are you talking about?' the son screams.
'We can't stand the sight of each other any longer,' the old man says.
'We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Hong Kong and tell her!'
Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone.
'Like heck they're getting divorced,' she shouts, 'I'll take care of this.'
She calls Mumbai immediately, and screams at the old man, 'You are not getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then , don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR??' and she hangs up. The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. 'Okay', he says, 'It's all set. They're both coming for Diwali and paying their own airfare!!'
MORAL:
No man / woman is busy in this world all 365 days.
The sky is not going to fall down if you take few days LEAVE and meet your dear ones.
OFFICE WORK IS NOT EVERYTHING IN LIFE and MONEY MAKING IS NOT EVERYTHING IN LIFE. AFTER ALL WE WORK FOR SOMEONE ELSE'S DREAM.

A Mom comes to visit her son Kumar for dinner....who lives with a room mate, a girl named Sunita.
During the course of the meal, his mother couldn't help but notice how pretty Kumar's roommate was. She had long been suspicious of a relationship between the two, and this had only made her more curious.
Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between Kumar and his roommate than met the eye.
Reading his mom's thoughts, Kumar volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Sunita and I are just roommates."
About a week later, Sunita came to Kumar saying, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the silver chutney jar. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" Kumar said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll email her, just to be sure."
So he sat down and wrote: Dear Mother: I'm not saying that you 'did' take the chutney jar from my house, I'm not saying that you 'did not' take the chutney Jar. But the fact remains that it has been missing ever since you were here for dinner. Love, Kumar
Several days later, Kumar received an email from his Mother which read Dear Son: I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with Sunita, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with Sunita. But the fact remains that if she was sleeping in her OWN bed, she would have found the chutney jar by now under the pillow... Love, Mom.
Lesson of ur life : Don't Lie to Your Mother...........especially if she is an Indian!

Fun
Dearest Ms Aarti,
I am very happy to inform you that I have fallen in Love with you since the 20th of October (Thursday). With reference to the meeting held between us on the 19th of Oct. at 1500hrs, I would like to present myself as a prospective lover. Our love affair would be on probation for a period of three months and depending on compatibility, would be made permanent. Of course, upon completion of probation, there will be continuous on the job training and performance appraisal schemes leading up to promotion from lover to spouse. The expenses incurred for coffee and entertainment would initially be shared equally between us. Later, based on your performance, I might take! up a larger share of the expenses. However I am broadminded enough to be taken care of, on your expense account.
I request you to kindly respond within 30 days of receiving this letter, failing which, this offer would be cancelled without further notice and I shall be considering someone else. I would be happy, if you could forward this letter to your sister, if you do not wish to take up this offer.
Wish you all the best!
Thanking you in anticipation,
Yours sincerely,
HR Manager
ARIES MAN He always lets other people walk in front of him, but he will get there first. He is a very careful guy and small obstacles won't make him fall easily even if he thinks life is a very serious matter. He is as romantic as any other Zodiac. He could look gentle, but inside he is as strong as steel. Once he determines to do something, he is serious about doing it well. He will keep any pressure or insult deep down inside without showing emotion. You will never see his emotions of burden or disappointment and always wonder what he thinks or feels. He will very well keep his feelings. You will never see a guy in this Zodiac involving in other people's business. He is always concerned with his own business. Sometimes he can be talkative, but he will never give anyone advice if he has not been asked. If you ask for advice, he will certainly give you one. He respects elderly and seniors, so you will see he is the type who visits his parents steadily or often. He is a slightly shy but also a stubborn person. He will find many ways to make you happy when you are with him, till you realize he is the important person for you. Once he is in the "Power Position", he will use his power gently. He is a good leader and "Gentleness" is one of his effective methods for exploiting his power. It is although he is born to be a leader. He never hides his ambition, and he is a workaholic. He will not take any position where he has no control. He will work very hard to reach his goal and satisfaction. Compliments from his boss or superior are never enough for him, he wants his deserved rewards. His deep insecurity makes him reach and collect valuable things, and by this you may think he is stingy. Actually he could easily spend money to buy things, travel or pay for things that make him happy and he thinks are necessary for his need. He cares what other people think of him and want to get good comments or compliments. Outside he looks like stone and steel, but inside he is a fragile person. He will hide and cover up weak emotions and his sadness in order to maintain and keep up his "Image". One method of cover up you could easily notice is suddenly if he is quiet, cold, or act very strong or very secure. Often, he feels insecure, even he is serious about his life and his own surroundings. This is the man who never hurries to get married, so hardly sits back and regrets about his marriage later. If he gets married, he needs to be very certain and very sure. It will take a long time for such decision, so if you tell him that you are "breaking up", you better forget him for good because he will never be coming back. He always keeps his promises. If he said he will meet you at your place in 2 hours then he will be there, unless there is a serious accident or unavoidable things happen. He hates people who are late for date or any appointment. He likes to think woman should be a follower and take care of family and working is a man's duty. He does not like to compete with his girl friend or his wife at work because competition already exists with himself and other people. He will be very proud if he can afford and care for his family. Do not try to over power him or insult him, he can not stand it. He likes to be in control of every thing, every situation. He likes a "Classy Woman", if she also comes from a good family then it is a Plus. It will make him feel proud and very egoistic about her status. Flashy type of woman, forget it. He likes a perfect or a nearly perfect housewife. He tends to be possessive. He will not tell you if he is mad at you, but will act very moody to show you instead. He likes to hear sweet words and compliments so you can get his interest that way. If he approaches you to ask you out, do not act too stubborn or fool around too much. He will get tired and just disappear. He has to feel confident when he is around you, so knowing this fact you should know what to do, right. If you want him, you have to make him feel like he is the most important person for you. He likes a kind hearted woman, polite and who can get along with his family. When he feels sad, do not leave him alone, but be very supportive. Kind words and your smile will win him over, so this strong man will be like a chick in your palm. ARIES WOMAN She thinks the world is watching her through the eye glasses of rose petal frame. She thinks people think and talk only about her good things and often gets disappointed to know the fact that they are not true and not even real, so she will feel hurt. She thinks her path has to be a beautiful one. She thinks only good things so she prepares and always makes arrangements for her to be in the right path always, quite systematic indeed. If there is no guy in her life, she will be busy with herself. This seemingly ordinary woman will push herself to meet her goal. Her face mostly will be slim and long, high cheek bone, eye brows slightly curved up, slight tall, more than short, thin lips and she will have quite a confusing or mixture of character. Sometimes, she will be very careful about the guy she will mingle with. She thinks as if she has a main CPU in her head and she could memorize everything from her childhood. When she faces problems, she will handle them and solve them very well, and at the same time showing other people that she has that capability. She can put her mind in solving problems in crisis better than many other Zodiacs. Once she determines to do a thing, nothing will stop her. Women in this Zodiac could be totally different from one woman to another woman. You could see her in the party dancing like flash dance or dirty dancing, as well you could also see her as an old fashion lady or a geek. She could be someone flashy and wanted by many men, or she could be a cold and non-social person. She will have her own way to win you over. Once she chooses you, she will need to be proud of you. "Love" is not as important to her as "Marriage". Her real goal in life is "Safety" and her position in other people's view needs to be "Secure". She plans her life, and socially lives easily and very carefully. She is also very artistic and realistic, so if you are a nobody or nothing, no chance because she loves ambition and a good life. She need lots of love, but does not want and does not believe in an occasional or unconventional love. She is a proud in nature type, so if you see a woman in this Zodiac come from a poor family, she will act like a woman from a noble family by birth anyway (certainly there are always exception). She always looks cool even when she is not. She likes to make people see her as "secure and confident" even if she is a mixed emotion and mixed character type. If she is mad, you can tell right away and she can stay moody for quite a long time. You never have all her times, for she likes to work hard and also spend some spare time working for charity. You will see woman in this zodiac a "Volunteer" for camps, and if she is in a high society, she will most likely be a president or a V.P. of a "Club". She is romantic and artistic, but being poor and unstable is certainly not in her dreams. Her beautiful imagination need to be realistic, for failure is not in her plan. A Goat always climbs high, so either she starts from a low point or a high point, she will make sure at the end she will have the best spot. She will not show her ambition, but she will show that she is satisfied with herself now. Once you look back she has already moved up again, quietly but sure. If she is your loved one, be supportive and understand her. She is stubborn, but she will listen. She will act like a gentle fragile person, but in fact she can stick you down like super glue without you knowing it. TAURUS MAN A quiet simple man who can do something unexpected to shock you. Taurus men are mostly medium tall, strong with good health, good strong body. When he talks, he likes to turn his head to one side on one direction. His body will be quite straight, facial structure tends to be square shaped more than other shapes. His eyes sparkle with liveliness. Even when he is in love, he is still a free wild bird. He is sand in your palm, the more you want to hold it, and it will slip out. If you stand and hold it still, it will stay that way. Don't set the rules and draw a line for him, he will not stay. When you are with him, he will think only of you. But an hour later he could change his mind. He is very patient with other people, but very impatient with himself. His world is always turning and it will not stop just because he loves you. If he is upset, he will show it right away. If something has gone wrong, he will blame his own carelessness instead of blaming other people. He is sincere to his friends, even to some friends he does not like. He likes to do odd things and surprise other people. He could be fully dressed in a nice suit and jump in the pool. He could slap your back so hard just to make you turn around to see he has flowers in his hand. He never wants to get too close with anyone for he thinks living in reality is living by yourself. He does not care what people think when he behaves weird. He could be walking bare feet and laughing at people who laugh at him and thinking they are so narrow minded. He does not like to follow conformity, but always wants to search for new ventures, new mysteries. He will be as interested in the life of a millionaire as much as the life of an old man selling newspaper or a sidewalk vendor. He likes to search and analyze people and things. He will analyze his friends or his girl friend, and once the mystery is gone, he will search for a new puzzle to solve. He can not easily understand things, so he will gradually learn about you till he fills up all his questions. He knows so many people, but he has a few friends. He looks for quality friends than quantity friends. He will be close with some friends shortly and move on. He always feels lonely even when surrounded by many people. He could create his own little world, and sometimes no one would understand him. He looks only for future and he thinks he lives for the future. He may wonder how many people think like he does, but he does not want to be like the others. A man with a conflict personality. He is cool, understanding, and able to work well, and very artistic. Taurus man could be an artist. He could shock you as much as he is able to calm you down when you are upset. He is a free spirit who likes adventure, but when he wants to be alone, do not touch him but let him be. He won't disappear from the crowd too long, he will be back. He will give you a straight forward opinion or comment, but will never advice what he thinks you should do. He does not like people to tell him what he should do too. He thinks each individual's dreams and thoughts should be very private. He will use his brain not his body strength, so he will let other guys compete. He has a certain satisfaction in life and hates to force him in competition. He may seem careless, but actually he is a thinker and a stubborn one. He sees anything in details and not easily trusts people till he thinks he knows them well. You can just smile and he will think why and what are you smiling about, and if you are pretending. Once he trusts you and accepts you as a friend, no one can say other wise to change that for he will not listen to gossip. He will be honest and sincere to his friends. He hates lies, so he will not tell you a lie. If he finds it is necessary to lie, he will find other ways not to tell you or avoid telling you anything. If he really has to lie, you will never be able to tell that he is lying. He can really keep secrets, so you will hardly know that he is a lonely soul. If you want this kind of guy, you have to be an interesting person. He has to be curious about you. Hell for him is "No Freedom", so if he marries you then you should know it is the biggest decision in his life. Always be interesting, and then you could have him beside you. TAURUS WOMAN A slim, moderately tall woman. Taurus woman is funny and a jolly person. Square facial bone structure, high cheek bone. Her round big eyes sparkle with wit and curiosity. You will not see many round faces in Taurus women, and mainly she will have a strong jaw line. She is a constantly changing person. If she is upset, she will not show it and will keep it to herself for a long time, and will remember them so well. If she gets really mad at you, you will suddenly become a total and complete stranger to her. She is a patient person, but always needs new excitement. She hates long talk meetings, long and endless conversations. She can be in love with you today, and one day she could act as if she has never loved you before. She is patient with what she wants to do and will never give up until she gets there. She will be very persistent in what she is doing till she has reasons for stopping her project, then she will quit. Money for Taurus woman is not the most important factor in life. She thinks of money as an instrument for assuring of a good living. She has more satisfaction in achieving her goals more than satisfaction in fine clothes and luxuries. If you like a woman who always thinks of love and romance, then you are dating the wrong girl. You can not tell her to stay at home; she likes to work and preferred not working at home. She loves animals and likes to be surrounded by animals. Love is in her head, but Freedom is in her soul. She has her own ideas about love and is afraid to show her true feelings for fear of rejection. She is not the type to talk about love, but she sure has a strange way to show it. She is not good in showing when she is in love, but if she loves you she will be honest to you than any other woman. She will be honest to her loved one, but at the same time seems distant. You will have a good relationship with her, if you allow her freedom. Do not force her to be with you in a poker game which she hates, but let her go out swinging with her friends if she wants to. She will be different than other girls, and she thinks different is one of her unique quality. She is a public figure but belongs to no one. She will not stay with you, if she thinks you are not sincere. She likes you to have a personality, but better not to compete with her. Love her, but not too much for her since she will get afraid it will limit her freedom. She always stands out of the crowd for something she dares to do. You could see her dress like a poor farmer dining in the fancy restaurant, or dress like a nun in a cocktail dress party. If you are a politician who is looking for a wife, she will make a good one because she is cleverly smart and she could get along socially with any type of crowd. She is not a jealous type because she has to know you thoroughly before accepting you in her life. She has more curiosity in life than wondering if right now you are flirting with someone else. If you keep a distance from her, or go away for a few days, she will miss you more. Even when she is dating you, she is also able to be fond of someone else; if you do not have something she is looking for. She will never disappoint you or hide behind your back to make you loose face, but she is the type who is just going to tell you to your face that "We're better off breaking up". She always remembers her first love. Taurus woman holds the best record for divorce for she does not care about how people think of her, but every thing should be done for "Happiness". She has lots of friends and is sure of herself, so you will hardly see the delays in any of her thoughts before her action. If she thinks of something, she will go ahead and do it. She has many men wanting her for her constant changes in the challenge. She can be cute and funny, but suddenly cool and tough. She has her own style of dressing up, so you could seek her dressed like an old mate today, and tomorrow she may dress like she comes from Mars. She will have that interesting hair, dress and a look unique from anyone else. She likes to learn about your dreams and you're thoughts. She has fun teasing you and making jokes. If she did something wrong, she won't hide it from you, but do not ask when she is not in the mood to talk about it. She hates to owe people money and takes promises seriously. If you promise to pay her back, you'd better pay up. If you want to make it with a Taurus woman, then do not be jealous or possessive, do not be narrow minded, do not criticize about nonsense or small and insignificant matters. Try to like her friends and let her have her privacy, then she can be very sweet to you. PISCES MAN He is very emotional and always allows himself to be very emotional. He can have a good night sleep and be in a good mood, and less than few hours at work he can be very moody. He does not understand things or try to understand things easily. If you notice him carefully, you will notice what kind of moods he is in. He is a thinker and able to do well at work and always succeed. His normal gestures mean he always looks at other people's faults, but he will not talk about it. He has the ability to know your thoughts and able to tell you what you are thinking about. He can mostly memorize all his anger, his loves. They are his important secrets and he will keep them to himself and will never let you know. He is not a very ambitious man and careless about his position in society. Wealth does not draw his attention, because he is not greedy man and well he thinks money is not something that will last. He could be very careless about his future. He does not like to fight against all odds, but instead following the stream and make life easier. Sometimes because he likes to take an easy path, this causes him very unsteady future. He is kind and slightly lazy, but it is his cute character. He hates rules and regulations. He will never look down at people. He is a polite guy and can be very aggressive when he is mad. He loves to think that he lives in a beautiful world and surrounded by nice people, so if he finds his world is cruel and not what he expects, he will live in his world instead. His other charm is that he is a funny guy, and it is his real weapon. He can tease you and yet make it look like one of his jokes. Even when he is sad, he still has that funny face, so you could hardly tell if he is mad or depressed. He likes to hide his feelings and help other people especially those who need a friend or are lonely. He will be everything that you want and everything you do not want. He has a chance to make it as much as a chance to fail. He can determine to make it work and can do it well, except when he tends to loose his energy with other important things, that's how he misses many of his good opportunities. He can be happy and content by himself. What he think is important isn't "Love", but firm status and stability. He has plenty of love for you. He is a good speaker, as much as he is a good listener. When he is with you, he wants to be happy. He understands his partner's emotions. He likes to take a long rest and sometimes being alone. If he needs to be alone, try not to disturb him. He is sensitive, quiet, shy and easily hurt. He wants to feel worthy. He can be mad and noisy, but once he calms down, he will be that happy person again. He is not a jealous or possessive guy, and if he feels jealous he will hide it. He has many friends of both sex, and he cares about his friends. He likes to have lots of friends, so you can not get jealous or else you will loose him. He likes beautiful things, so if a pretty woman walks by he will look, so do not get mad at him knowing this fact. When he is lonely or feeling sad, be close to comfort him. He does not like to take advice, so if you want him to listen or to follow your advice; you have to act as a good sample for him first. He likes a cheerful and smart woman. If you treat him like he is your special person, then he will be that special person for you. He will trust you if he is in love but try not to overdo it and spoil him too much. You have to know your worth all the time too. PISCES WOMAN She likes to be in a dream world than to be in reality. She is weak and sensitive when it's come to "Love". She can cry if her best friend is breaking up, and she can be over excited when her friend gets a new boyfriend who is good looking and rich even if it is nothing concerned to her at all. You might be surprised to see that she is shy just because shies in love. More or less it will be in Pisces woman. She loves small animals and is gifted in training animals. She has the sixth sense and she can guess what will happen next, it's her nature. Even if she has a good sixth sense, she can not pick or foresee her own choice of lover. She can not tell if she meets a sincere guy or a lone night stand guy. She likes to buy and pick her own clothes. She likes to dress cute and be cute. Pisces woman tends to be a good looking woman and she has a nice skin. Her hands and feet are small and soft. Pisces woman loves to shop for shoes as if she collects them. She is a hot lady that everyone wants. Whether she has a man in her life or not, she will never try to over power any man. It's not even in her thought. She thinks men can handle things better, and she will make her man feel that way. She is an easy going person, so being with her is easy. She is a confident woman and likes to make people who stay with her happy. She knows how to please and how to comfort a man. If something is wrong, she will try to make other people believe that it must be because of someone else, not because of her loved one. She will not push her man to be ambitious but to make him feel like he should be happy with the way he is now. She is happy with you for what you are now. A Pisces woman, if she has a bad childhood, she will always remember it and it will make her a very unhappy person. She will pity herself and feel sorry for herself. She tends to hurt herself without knowing it and is vulnerable to drugs (real drugs or just sleeping pills). She has many choices and you can never tell which path she going to take. If you love her, then hold her tight because she never knows why she did what she did or what she will do next. A complex character. You may think she is a shy innocent type and cannot hurt anyone, then you are wrong. You might think she is a fragile person who needs protection, wrong again. She has been through a lot, a tough cookie. She is a dreamer and loves the word "Love", so she is the type who will buy gifts for anyone for any occasion, especially if it is a gift for wedding or an anniversary even for someone who she does not know well. Be very careful if you fall in love with Pisces woman. She can be a totally different person before and after. She can be an angel before and later a witch, but everyone is not perfect, right? She will be soft and gentle most of the time, so not to worry. She is emotional and extremely sensitive when she frequently gets hurt. She is the type who can cry her heart out. She can have a secret fear inside, when she says she doesn't need anyone. She badly needs someone to protect her, but sometimes she can hide that feeling by being stubborn. She likes to hide her shyness and her weakness from her enemies. She does not like to follow any fixed rules. She can be a good housewife if you know how to handle her. Many men will ask to marry her because she is a 100% woman. If she wants to be sweet, she is a real angel. AQUARIUS MAN Hot-hearted man who likes to do things his way. He can suddenly decide to do something without thinking of its outcome. He is the type of guy with an inside energizer, so if you fall in love with this type of guy be "patient", even if you have to follow him a bit. His creative mind could create a fantastic idea any time. If you do not understand or can not follow him, you won't be with him for long. A man in this Zodiac is less likely to have a pale skin, and if he has a scar, it would be on his face or on his head. He moves very fast and is very energetic, and he is very self confident. He is not the type to sit down and feel sorry or regret anything for long, especially with "Love". He loves justice. He dares to show his opinion or even argue about a certain subject even if he knows it might bring him problems. A straight forward type of guy. He hardly tells lies except if he thinks its necessary and he is not a good liar anyway. He will not lie to you about a serious matter, but if he lies he will lie only about a small little thing. He is gifted with the ability to be a very social person. He could talk even about subjects that he has no knowledge of. He is interested only at the present time and look at the world positively. Many times he feels hurt because of reality, but he will not run away and he will overcome that difficulty. Even if he is a high and self confident type and centers his own thoughts on a main focus, but at the same time he is a kind, cute and polite guy. He certainly is not a mean person. He likes to help people who are in trouble even if he is not asked to. He is the type who feels sorry if you remember bad things he said to you that he had already forgotten. But you did not, believe him that he is very sorry and give him another chance. Once he decides to do something, he will put all his mind and energy in it either in his "Work", or "Love". He is the type who gambles anything in the casino, so do not even take him there. He does not like pessimistic, low energy, and depressed persons, especially with no brain. Strangely he likes to overpower this type of people to assure that he is more superior. He likes to be the first person to do something. You can see a sparkle in his eyes, once he meets a new target or new lover. Once he is in love, he will act as if he never has loved like this before. This minute he could be real sugar sweet, and later he could also be icy cold, but do not blame him for that will only chase him away. He could fall in love again with another girl and act again like he never had this kind of love before. He could really love someone, but is not a heart broken type for he thinks love is "excitement" and "Love goes on". If you date this kind of guy, do not or avoid showing your face to him with face-pack, face mask, always be presentable, nice and cute. If he is quiet, it's not because he is shy, but he is only quietly thinking. If you have a chance to ask his ex-girlfriend, she will tell you that he is not a shy or quiet type. If he is really and truly in love with you, he will never lie to you at all. How do you know if he loves you, bet on your faith! Love him and treat him steadily and do not try to find anything to argue with him, he will be with you for sure. If you are his lover or girlfriend and need to tell him something, go and say it out loud and straightforward because he hates a long boring story. He hates to play games, chasing for love or being chased, so let him call you first. He likes a confident woman who is also a good follower. If he gets mad at you, let him be for only after a short time he will be normal again. You have to like and be able to get along with his friends, but he does not have to do so with all your friends. Don't ever think you could make him jealous by flirting with other men; he will just leave instead of making a scene because he is a confident man and has to be the first in everything. AQUARIUS WOMAN If you are in love with a woman in this zodiac, be prepared to be very happy or be very sorry. She is a very busy person with her own matters similar to a guy in this zodiac. She is able to live by herself without any guy in her life, a very strong person indeed. Not because she doesn't have a dream guy, but if she can not find such person, so what. Because she thinks she could do anything that a man can do. She is a leader, a real confident type. She likes to do things by herself, such as serving herself, opening the door herself. Because she thinks waiting for a helping hand is a waste of time, and she is not patient enough to wait around for that. If she starts to ask you out, do not think she starts to flirt with you, but because she thinks it is a waste of time to wait for you to be the one who asked. She likes a COOL guy who sometimes acts like he is ignoring her, so he has a chance to show him his own confidence. She likes to guess her man's reaction, but at the same time she likes to have many men wanting her. She is a daring type who could just do thing differently from other people in her same society. She dares to fight for what she thinks belongs to others. Even if she acts confident, she mostly feels lonely and alone. If she breaks up with someone, she won't show any emotion even if deep down inside in pain and agony. Not for long she will come back to be the cheery and merry person again, because she looks at the world positively and has "Faith" in the word "Love". She has more men friends than women friends, so do not be a jealous type if you date her. She could be slightly jealous, but she hates jealous guys. She loves "Freedom" so before and after marriage, her freedom has to be the same. She likes you to trust her, even if she does not trust you anyhow. She likes to be the one who is "Right", so if you argue with her, let her win if it is not a big deal for you in that subject. She is a straight forward type, so if she does not love you anymore, she will just tell you straight to your face. Her love and relationship are always real, so if she say "It's over" be prepared to leave, she is not testing you. She is not a vulnerable type, so do not have to worry about her, she will survive by herself. If she is with you when you get sick, she will certainly take care and look after you, even look after your mean "small loan". Do not have secrets from her, she hates it and really can push her badly. When she is sad, be understanding. When she is happy, be happy with her, she likes that. You will not get bored with this type of girl. Someone who is close to her will know that deep down beneath that confident and cold hearted person, she is just as fragile as any woman. She is a funny and talkative person and she likes to tease you. Do not let her talk alone; if you do she will leave. She has many types of jobs because she believes what a man can do, I can do. If you want her to work for you, forget it. When she is in love, she will just leave her job in the day time just to come to see you, but not for long she will go back to work seriously again. Prepare to live and love with a "Working Woman" then you will be OK. If she mad, find a shelter for the "Hurricane" is here. Her bad temper will last very shortly though. She is not a revenge type and will not think of "Pay Back" time. Most people might think of her as "One of the guys", but in fact she is a 100% woman. She is easily hurt, so be nice with her. If she really loves you, then you are lucky because she is honest, truthful and will never bore you. Understand that sometimes she will be over confident and sometimes likes to have power or act bossy. CAPRICORN MAN A man in this Zodiac will have a pair of round big beautiful eyes, a nice structured jaw line. He is a good listener and can understand everything easily and clearly. He can guess what you will say before you even say it. He often shakes his head or touches his hair. He has a big built, but will tend to have small ears. He tends to have a darker shade of hair and eye color. He is likely to have a short and strong neck, broad shoulders, muscular, strong hands and grip. He has shorter fingers as compared to the man of the same size and same height in the other zodiacs. His hands can work, as well as at the same time, can protect and care for his woman. His height will be proportional to his weight. He will walk firmly and always take a big long step. As he walks, he will look around in caution with no disturbance from his problems at present or in the past. He likes to watch things built with fascination and wonder about how it is done, so you could see him watching a construction site and not getting bored. He is a good dancer. He is a careful person in instinct, so even at dance floor; he will already have to know what is in front or behind him before he will take any steps. Green is his favorite color. You will mostly see him wear green, navy, blue, or brown. In all the 12 Zodiacs, he is the one who can get the most satisfaction from possession of a beautiful thing, and cherish it as if it is very valuable to him even if it is just a crystal ballade in France. It is his luck that he hardly has to chase after women. They always come themselves without his invitation. He likes to treat his guest at his house than visiting his guest at their house. He does not like to be the centre of attention, so if you need his help, you have to look up for him. He lives his life in stability and simplicity. Every decision made is already "Sure" and carefully thought out. He will not do what he has been asked to do if he is not interested in doing it. He acts casually but in reality, he always does things seriously. He loves peaceful and quiet environment, so in his free time, he will stay at home instead of going out and looking for adventure. He loves nature and dreams of a nice and quiet house with lots of trees, or he may dream of a house in a beautiful countryside. He will let you have freedom and watch you from a distance. If you are over doing something, he will let you know by his icy cold look. He is the perfect lover in the entire Zodiac for there is nothing he will not do for his loved one. He won't allow people to laugh at him or think he is a joker; he will spend for his luxury for what it is worth. He likes neat and well dressed women, so do not be slop if you are dating this guy. If you do that, he will loose his face. He is the romantic type who would dance with you under the moon light. Love will make him shine and you will see it in his face. He will not say it out loud; you have to know it yourself. CAPRICORN WOMAN A tall, slim, cool and quiet woman. Once she is mad she can be very fierce. She can work better than some men and she is a very highly confident woman. In her opinion, a woman is not just a flower or decoration at home or at an office and certainly not a weak sex who needs protection. She likes to control and hide her weak emotions. She will never try to change anyone, but she will learn to accept them as they are. If she does not like someone, she will not comment or criticize but will completely ignore that person. She hates plastic and artificial flower because it makes her feel that you are not being sincere. She loves real flower and its scent. She loves guys who wear after shave cologne. If you are a type of a guy who wear your jeans for one month before washing, or wear an old sneaker, then you can forget about her. She loves music and nature; even there is a rare case otherwise. She loves to go picnic in nature, so if you don't have so much time for her, you can take her fishing too. She is not as jealous as an Aquarius or Leo woman, but do not cross the line O.K. Better not to see she gets mad, especially in front of public when she feels like loosing face. She loves to make up and dress perfectly and very neat, so never rush her for this matter. She has her own goals in life and does not care if you have a doctorate degree or not, if she thinks you are not bright then she will not care about you at all. She likes smart people by character not by certificate shown. If you can not show her this quality, go and take a bus and go to the next stop. She does not like a dreamer who talks about his dreams but never puts his hands in action to make it happen. Don't bother to tell her "everyone's doing it, you should do it too", or "I think you should do it, it's good for you", because she will do what she wants to do only. She is a neat and tidy person, so if your apartment is a pigsty, do not take her there. If you go out on a date with her, try to be presentable such as a nice and clean dress, clean nails or else it will be your last date. She is a cool type and will not nag, so is easy on your ears. She is sallow but sure type. She will always respect and honor you and will never try to make you loose your face. If she loves you, she will help you in anything you do. She likes to help people and expect nothing in return. If she asks you for a favor and does not get one, she will feel very disappointed. She has a high hope and a high faith and believes in her own confidence than believing in "Luck". If she is your wife, you will have a nice and clean home and a gourmet cooking. If your parents visit your house, they will be pleased. She is 3 in 1 means - a perfect mother, a perfect housewife, a perfect wife and you could sta

Shayad mere pyar ko taste Karna bhool gaye... Dil sey aisa CUT kiya ke PASTE karna bhool gaye..
Tumhare samne hain itney items Kabhi hame bhi pick karo... Hamare pyar ke ICON pe Kabhi to tum DOUBLE-CLICK karo...
Roz subha hum karte hai Itne pyar se unhe good morning... Woh humhe ghoor kar dekhte hain Jaise 0 ERRORS but 5 WARNINGS...
Ho gayi galti humse, Click ho gaya mouse Duniya ki parwaah chhodo, ban jaao meri spouse!
Tumse mila main kal to, Mere dil mein hua ek sound, Lekin aaj tum mili To kehti ho: Your file not found!
Ab aur kaho na tum, "but" ya "if" Tum ho meri zindagi ki animated gif
Aysa bhi nahin hai ke, I don't likeyour face Par dil ke computer mein, Nahin hai enough disk space

One fat guy - goes to a popular GYM in Bangalore sees an ad for a new gym guaranteeing to reduce anyone's weight by 5, 10 or 20 kilograms on the first day. So he goes and tells them he wants to lose 5 kg.
They lead him into a huge gym with all kinds of ropes and parallel bars and ladders and tell him to wait a minute. He's standing there when on the far side of the gym a door opens and out steps a beautiful girl, with a sign saying "If you catch me, I'm yours." He starts running, and just as he gets close, she starts picking up speed. Before he knows it, he's running all over the gym, up the ladders, down the ladders, across the parallel bars, here and there. And just as he's about to catch the blonde, pop, she disappears through a door. In comes the management who lead him to the showers, and then weigh him. Sure enough, he lost exactly 5kg.
He's back on the street and starts to think. "God, I was so close to catching her. If I had a little more time...
So he races back to the gym and says, "I want to lose 20 more kg.""No problem," says the manager. Again he is led to the large gym. This time he's standing by the door when it opens.
Out comes a Gorilla with a sign, "If I catch you, you're mine."

The Washer man and the Foolish Donkey"?
There was once a washer man who had a donkey and a dog. One night when the whole world was sleeping, a thief broke into the house, the washer man was fast asleep but the donkey and the dog were awake. The dog decided not to bark since the master did not take good care of him and wanted to teach him a lesson. The donkey got worried and said to the dog that if he doesn't bark, the donkey will have to do something himself. The dog did not change his mind and the donkey started braying loudly. Hearing the donkey bray, the thief ran away, the master woke up and started beating the donkey for braying in the middle of the night for no reason.
Moral of the story " One must not engage in duties other than his own"
Now take a new look at the same story…
The washer man ( J ) was a well educated man from a premier management institute. He had the fundas of looking at the bigger picture and thinking out of the box. He was convinced that there must be some reason for the donkey to bray in the night. He walked outside a little and did some fact finding, applied a bottom up approach, figured out from the ground realities that there was a thief who broke in and the donkey only wanted to alert him about it. Looking at the donkey's extra initiative and going beyond the call of the duty, he rewarded him with lot of hay and other perks and became his favorite pet. The dog's life didn't change much, except that now the donkey was more motivated in doing the dogs duties as well. In the annual appraisal the dog managed a "meets requirement" . Soon the dog realized that the donkey is taking care of his duties and he can enjoy his life sleeping and lazing around. The donkey was rated as "star performer". The donkey had to live up to his already high performance standards. Soon he was over burdened with work and always under pressure and now is looking for a job rotation…

Y = You cause a lot of trouble. Z = You're always fighting with someone. CHECK YOUR NAME MEANING AND YOU WILL FIND THAT THIS IS TRUE .............
ARIES
Your friendship must be warm and on the level. Let me put it this way, You are a fine friend and a formidable foe. With Aries, things are never done by halves. Aries expects total devotion and sincerity in friendship. In turn, he/she extends a loving and strong hand.
TAURUS
A good friend, though not a particularly brilliant one. Many times,family members and close relatives end up as friends. Yes, a Taurean can give himself/herself freely with time, and money, and practical advise.The Taurean likes friends, to be happy and in comfort. The Taurean hates to lose a friend, as the attachment is strong, and will often go out of the way to maintain a relationship. Taurean can be patient, persuasive,persistent with friends.
GEMINI
An amusing friend and according to me a good one. Gemini can return love,responds beautifully to a little appreciation. Gemini often feels-but wrongly so-that others don't do enough for him/her. You're young at heart, you could be the life of a group.Whatever others might say about you, I do maintain that you excel in human relationships.
CANCER
Your loyalty and attachments to people make you a friend worth his or her weight in gold. However, see that you do not expect too much out of friendship. Always ready to give, you are likely to be bitterly disappointed when friends do not live up to your own image of them. However, you will seldom cut your friendship ties and do much more for friends than they did for you. A good, solid friend!
LEO
As a friend you are worth your weight in pure gold. Leo is a mighty good friend. He/She does not ditch people. Leo is very warm and sincere.Your idealism and romanticism comes through very strongly here. Blessed is the person who has a Leo friend.
VIRGO
Understand, Virgo, that yours is a sign of service and communal living.It is a humane sign. Therefore, you need friends, though you may acknowledge it. In friendship, Virgo is at his best. Virgo may not be a hearty type. But Virgo will be steady and extremely reliable as a friend. Whatever advice and suggestions Virgo gives will be practical and to the point. Virgo hates to break off any relationship. A Virgo friend is a solid friend. He/She is worth the price in platinum.
LIBRA
You can give good advice to a friend and any friend who follows up will never come to grief. But if you expect Libra to give the heart also, you could be disillusioned. This does not mean that Libra is cold. It only means that you Libreans are often detached. You can be a good friend. It only means that one should not expect the impossible from a Libra. But Libra is excellent company. Libra has finesse and grace. Let me say,Libra is the lubricant in all human relationship.
SCORPIO
There's explosive element here, pure dynamite, if you ask me. However good friend you may be-and you are good-do not be secretive and wear a mask. Yes,you are discriminative in friendship and psychologically speaking,a disturbed family background, sometimes tragically so, is responsible for it. In friendships, you are intensely loyal. Though you do and can appear detached, you are ultra-sensitive, specially in pride and self-respect. You are a little too over-bearing, never a happy ground for a stable friendship. Secrets will be well kept. Do not attach too much importance to minor lapses on the part of friends. You could be betrayed, resulting in a complete severing of all ties.
SAGITTARIUS
Generous to a fault and very helpful, you evidently make a good friend. If friends follow your advise they will be happy. Yes, you can guide them very well. Your intuition comes into full play in friendship. You will do more for them than they do for you. Even if your friends fail you-and many of them will-there will be no resentment and hatred. But your own prejudices will blind you on many occasions. With Sagittarius likes and dislikes are intense.
Capricorn
Once the initial hurdles are crossed, you will prove to be the old faithful. See that snobbery does not come into the way of true friendship. While you may not be very tactful and polished in your manners and talk,you won't fail a friend in an emergency. Try to reach out more, please.
AQUARIUS
Aquarians can be better counselors than friends. The reason is that, though emotionally involved, they can think clearly and visualize situations and problems creatively. As yours is the sign of friendship, It do predict that your friends will receive both warmth and guidance from you.
PISCES
A good friend ,humane, understanding, if slightly unconventional. Yes, you can understand a person intuitively, help him without a show of exuberance.The friendship may have an unworldly touch about it. But your advise should be worth following. A word of warning. Do not expect the impossible here. People have feet of clay and so, I am afraid, do you. Accept them for what they are worth, and let not idealism crowd judgement your innate grace and diplomacy could help save an unpleasant situation.
Cheers!!!

Once upon a time a married couple celebrated their 25th marriage anniversary. They had become famous in the city for not having a single conflict in their period of 25 years. Local newspaper editors had gathered at the occasion to find out the secret of their well known "happy going marriage".
Editor: "Sir. It's amazingly unbelievable. How did you make this possible?"
Husband recalling his old honeymoon days said: "We had been to Shimla for honeymoon after marriage. Having selected the horse riding finally, we both started the ride on different horses. My horse was pretty okay but the horse on which my wife was riding seemed to be a crazy one. On the way ahead, that horse jumped suddenly, making my wife topple over. Recovering her position from the ground, she patted the horse's back and said "This is your first time". She again climbed the horse and continued with the ride. After a while, it happened again. This time she again kept calm and said "This is your second time" and continued. When the horse dropped her third time, she silently took out the revolver from the purse and shot the horse dead !! I shouted at my wife: "What did you do you psycho. You killed the poor animal. Are you crazy?". She gave a silent look and said: "This is your first time!!!"."
Husband: "That's it. We are happily married ever after."

A old man told his doctor, "I don't think my wife's hearing is as good as it used to be. What should I do?"
The doctor replied, "Try this test first. When your wife is at the sink doing dishes, stand fifteen feet behind her and ask her a question. If she doesn't respond, keep moving closer, asking the question until she hears you."
He went home and saw his wife preparing dinner. Standing fifteen feet behind her he said, "What's for dinner, honey?" Hearing no reply, he moved up to ten feet behind her and repeated the question. Still no reply, so he moved to five feet. Finally he stood directly behind her and said, "Honey, what's for dinner tonight?"
She turned around and yelled in his face, "For the fourth time, I SAID CHICKEN, you deaf old fart!"
As early as the fourth century B.C., the Romans engaged in an annual young man's rite to passage to the God Lupercus. The names of the teenage women were placed in a box and drawn at random by adolescent men; thus, a man was assigned a woman companion for the duration of the year, after which another lottery was staged. After eight hundred years of this cruel practice, the early church fathers sought to end this practice... They found an answer in Valentine, a bishop who had been martyred some two hundred years earlier.
According to church tradition St. Valentine was a priest near Rome in about the year 270 A.D. At that time the Roman Emperor Claudius-II who had issued an edict forbidding marriage.
This was around when the heyday of Roman empire had almost come to an end. Lack of quality administrators led to frequent civil strife. Learning declined, taxation increased, and trade slumped to a low, precarious level. And the Gauls, Slavs, Huns, Turks and Mongolians from Northern Europe and Asian increased their pressure on the empire's boundaries. The empire was grown too large to be shielded from external aggression and internal chaos with existing forces. Thus more of capable men were required to be recruited as soldiers and officers. When Claudius became the emperor, he felt that married men were more emotionally attached to their families, and thus, will not make good soldiers. So to assure quality soldiers, he banned marriage.
Valentine, a bishop , seeing the trauma of young lovers, met them in a secret place, and joined them in the sacrament of matrimony. Claudius learned of this "friend of lovers," and had him arrested. The emperor, impressed with the young priest's dignity and conviction, attempted to convert him to the roman gods, to save him from certain execution. Valentine refused to recognize Roman Gods and even attempted to convert the emperor, knowing the consequences fully. On February 24, 270, Valentine was executed.
"From your Valentine" While Valentine was in prison awaiting his fate, he came in contact with his jailor, Asterius. The jailor had a blind daughter. Asterius requested him to heal his daughter. Through his faith he miraculously restored the sight of Asterius' daughter. Just before his execution, he asked for a pen and paper from his jailor, and signed a farewell message to her "From Your Valentine," a phrase that lived ever after.
Valentine thus become a Patron Saint, and spiritual overseer of an annual festival. The festival involved young Romans offering women they admired, and wished to court, handwritten greetings of affection on February 14. The greeting cards acquired St.Valentine' s name.
The Valentine's Day card spread with Christianity, and is now celebrated all over the world. One of the earliest card was sent in 1415 by Charles, duke of Orleans, to his wife while he was a prisoner in the Tower of London. The card is now preserved in the British Museum.

Health
Working in a cool, comfortable office sure feels good, but there are facts about centralized air-conditioned offices that could make you catch your breath - literally. Contrary to claims of filtering out impure air, the AC ducts could actually be health hazards themselves, causing a number of air-borne diseases. "Low temperatures in air ducts are conductive to the growth of many fungi and algae, which cause infections", says Dr V. Nageshwar, consultant interventional pulmonologist at Wockhardt Hospital, Hyderabad. Breathing the air circulated through these ducts could make you sicker than you believed possible, because AC maintenance personnel have been known to have cleared out buckets of dust, packs of mould, dead rats and rotting from the ducts! The problem is so widespread that the World Health Organisation even coined a term for it Sick building Syndrome, or SBS, meaning buildings where faulty heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, among other factors, could cause a medley of ailments. And guess what seals your fate - the fact that offices seal their windows to maintain the perfect AC conditions. "Most companies do not realize that they are affecting the health of their employees in the long run. SYMPTOMS OF DUST ALLERGY ? Irritation of eyes, nose, throat ? Headache ? Dizziness and fatigability ? Breathlessness ? Chest tightness?
