Have a great day.

What will happen if dogs start to speak, human beings will start to bark.

TigerWoods

Have a great day.

"I lied to a lot of people, deceived a lot of people, and I also lied to myself," these are the words spoken by Golfer Tiger Woods-----There could be countless personalities like Woods, who only confess after being caught....Why not follow a self-imposed moral code to avoid such public embarrassment.

'ఫ్రెండ్స్'

Have a great day.

Oh, petty minds when will you grow!

The time has come for shedding your sheep's clothing and giving up hypocrisy. Come on, don't think you are outsmarting others with your foolish mind-set---we are competent enough to understand everything from day one. But just wanted to learn whether negative and conceited characters which we read in fairy tales and panchatantra stories during our childhood really exist in this world.

Now come out from your delusions and illusions about befooling others. In reality, you people have befooled yourself, bescheeching in enormous problems that you people have been facing of late----God bless you dear so called friends.

peace

Have a great day.

Every person is fighting against the other, but nobody knows why...piece together the fragments of brotherhood and experience peace.

Hua

Have a great day.

It's not good cheating, fighting and playing tricks with every one, and than defaming him/her with all sorts of baseless and wild allegations---I would like such persons to read the following message.

"Allow each soul to walk its path....Please don't trap genuine and honest persons, who only respond to keep one's word, for God's sake, otherwise people will stop believing even genuine friends."

Journalist

Have a great day.

We should resist to become a bureaucratic-minded journalist. Isn't it ? Because if you apologise anybody they would term it as grovelling apology, and if you don't they will term it arrogant and hot-head-----people will have their opinion anyway, just ignore them

Problem

Have a great day.

Don't create problems for others, for every one is buried with problems. The following quote found in a very good book is for those who constantly wait to add up to the problems of their friends, relatives and colleagues.

"Problems may only be avoided by exercising good judgment. Good judgment may only be gained by experiencing life's problems."

worry

Have a great day.

Choose your friends, for not everybody can become a good friend...Why worry about worries when worry itself does not worry...

politician

Have a great day.

I thought the world is full of crooks and conceited elements. But after reading the following in a famous book, my opinion changed; but it is a herculean task to spot such persons.

"We will have to learn that not all people are just, that not all people are fair, and that not all people are true. But...for every villain there is a hero, that for every crooked politician there is a great and dedicated leader, and that for every enemy there is a good friend."

Appeal

Have a great day.

Please don't cut cruel jokes on anybody, for it pushes that person into a whirlpool of negative thoughts. This will affect his performance, which is vital to the uplift of any society.

The sorry part of cutting cruel jokes is depriving the victim from sharing qualilty time with people who callthemselves as his or her friend. This is an appeal one should take it seriously.

Harmony

Have a great day.

"What do we live for if not to make life less difficult for each other ?"

1-Pray for five minutes daily.

2-Avoid any type of arguement.

3-Don't show your emotions publicly, so that you will not regret at leisure.

13-If you don't like something, speak it out.

14-Set goals and targets to maintain your focus.

15-Amend yourself instead of striving to change others.

LAW

Have a great day.

"Any law is invariably used to supress freedom of speech first, but never acts upon the guilty...Therefore, a good person ought to take care of himself/herself, for you never know about what persons-in-power will do against you for speaking the truth."

Sardar

Forward mail We all love Sardar jokes. But do you know that Sikhs are one of the hardest working prosperous and diversified communities in the world.

My friend told me about the following incident which I wish to share with you.

It has had a deep impact on my thinking.

During last vacation, his few friends came to Delhi . They rented a taxi for local sight-seeing. The driver was an old Sardar and boys being boys, these pals began cracking Sardarji jokes, just to tease the old man. But to their surprise, the fellow remained unperturbed.

At the end of the sight-seeing, they paid the cab hire-charges. The Sardar returned the change, but he gave each one of them one rupee extra and said, ''Son, since morning you have been telling Sardarji jokes..

I listened to them all and let me tell you, some of them were in bad taste. Still, I don't mind coz I know that you are young blood and are yet to see the world..

But I have one request. I am giving you one rupee each. Give it to the first Sardar beggar that you come across in this or any other city.'
My friend continued,* ' That one rupee coin is still with me. I couldn't find a single Sardar begging anywhere.'

MORAL:

The secret behind their universal success, is their willingness to do any job with utmost dedication and pride. A Sardar will drive a truck or set up a roadside garage or a dhaba, put a fruit juice stall, take up small time carpentry, ... but he will never beg on the streets.

Time-3

Time is a great reminder

"Clock is a machine of great moral value to man,
allaying his concern for the future by reminding
him what a lot of time remains to him.

For a long time it had seemed to me that life
was about to begin-real life.

But there was always some obstacle in the way,
something to be Gotten through first, some unfinished
business.

Time still to be served, or debt to be paid.
Then life would begin.

At last it dawned on me that these obstaacles were
my life."

"We all have our time machines.
Some take us back, they're called memories.
Some take us forward, they're called dreams.

You may delay but time will not.

Time-1

"Time is free but it's priceless.
You can't own it but you can use it.
You can't keept it, but you can spend it.
Once you have lost it you can never get it back.

"Time is more valuable than money.
You can get more money,
But you cannot get more time.

"We are so obsessed with doing that we have
no time and no imagination left for being.
As a result,men are valued not for what they
are but for what they do or what they have-for
theri usefulness.

"Time is really the only capital that any
human being has, and the only thing he can't
afford to lose."

Time

Lost time is never found again.

Time is the strongest force of nature that surely rules both nature and human kind.

Time has three important impressions of its nature; Past, Present and Future.

It ruled the past that is why we call it history.

It rules the present and we call it development.

And it is always prepared to rule the future, so we call it vision.

Every person has different ways to relate and value time.

We often forget to understand its importance.

Some power packed words defining time and its control on ourlives is
perfect to remind us constantly, what a beautiful gift life has given to
us, in the form of time.

Some great quotations or words of expressions are just reflections

of our state of mind, how we feel and relate with life.

To make us understand the value and power of time.

Remember; Lost time is never found again.

And , the man shouted , 'God show me a miracle.' And , a life was born.
But , the man did not notice.

So , the man cried out in despair , 'Touch me God , and let me know you are here.' Whereupon , God reached down and touched the man. But , the man brushed the butterfly away .
and walked on.

But , the man deleted it and continued crying .

Don't miss out on a blessing because it isn't packaged the way that you expect. My instructions were to send this to people that I wanted God to bless , and I picked you. Won't you please pass this to people you want to be blessed. Expect the unexpected.....Have A Great Day!"

Tendulkar

Sachin Tendulkar is the pride of India --- don't play with the pride of a nation.

Instead of advising Tendulkar what he should do his detractors should should learn the three Ds -- dedication, discipline, devotion---from him.

Dignity

"Is it because of zero tolerance policy against abusive and offensive language that makes one subjet to ridicule ? Help to maintain dignity and decorum by not ridiculing people."

Sachin Tendulkdar

Congratulations to glorious Sachin Tendulkar on completing 20 years on a cricket pitch, surviving sledgings from opponents.

Respect human life, it is too precious to waste.

Ants duty is to work 24x7...water's urge is to fill up all the ant holes. Nobody can help, that's the way people too put hurdles on the path of hardworkers.

Cohesion

"How to combine that degree of individual initiative which is necessary for progress, with the degree of social cohesion which is necessary for survival."

Don't jump to conclusions. Respect the feelings of other fellow citizens. You can't demand respect. So, "Only seek peace through action instead of reacting and responding to rotten brains...(because) a lamp is made only to burn and it must keep on burning. Its pursuit is its reward."

Smart

Smartness is good, but oversmartness irritates others-----

"The modern-minded man, although he believes profoundly in the wisdom of his period, must be presumed to be very modest about his personal powers.

"His highest hope is to think first what is about to be thought, to say what is about to be said, and to feel what is about to be felt; he has no wish to think better thoughts than his neighbours, to say things showing more insight, or to have emotions which are not those of some fashionable group, but only to be slightly ahead of others in point of time.

"Quite deliberately he suppresses what is individual in himself for the sake of the admiration of the herd.....what is the use of an eccentric opinion."

Justice

Can we expect justice ? Can we overcome castism, communalism and parochialism ?

"What a commentary is this upon human justice ! What sad prominence it gives to our human disposition to tyrannise over the weak !"

Okay

Why am I so angry, so frightened and so sad ?

I searched a lot; but could not find any satisfactory answers.

Can we get any answer from the following observations made by a great author ?

"....Enlarging (positive) objects of thoughts (can work) as antidote to the anxieties and anguish of the present, and makes possible the nearest approach to serenity that is available to a sensitive mind in our tortured and uncertain world."

Peace

"After ages during which the earth produced harmless trilobites and butterflies, evolution progressed to the point at which it generated Neros, Genghis Khans, and Hitlers. This, however, is a passing nightmare; in time the earth will become again incapable of supporting life, and peace will return."

World

Your hunger should be motivation for your success;

Your desire should be fodder for your growth;

Your impulse should be incentive for your aim;

Your persuation should be your provocation;

Your reason should be your push for work;

Your urge for knowledge should be your stiumulous.

These are the words which give comfort in unruly areas. There is nothing like putting one’s emotions in words. Enjoy how words rushing through your pen to help you out from this present state of turmoil that has been afflicting the society.

Still, you should work for the country with a nationalistic feeling and thinking at the same time for universal brotherhood.

Don’t afraid of people who don’t know their existence, but only know how to look for food----which even a bug, bird and beast do.

People take false pride in singing paeans of Lal, Bal, Pal and Gandhiji. In reality, they are cashing in on the images of these great patriots.

One can't but feel ashamed, pity and angry at those who don’t know how to lead the people...as this his world is not for sensible people, who, anyway, have taken a back seat, leaving people like .... ..... ........ , who have left things in a mess.

A place where respect and affection are equated with a strainer, you can’t expect much. Hooray !

Lawless

Staying in a lawless state is equivalent to stay in a state of mourning eternally. This reminds us to the famous quote ----

"If indeed you must be candid, be candid beautifully; otherwise keep silent, for there is a man in our neighbourhood who is dying."

Backbiting is the outcome of some persons' fear and jealousy. The following lines from a famous author can erase the two dreaded senses from their mind.

"What he had once hoped for the Flock, he now gained for himself alone; he learned to fly, and was not sorry for the price that he had paid. Jonathan Seagull discovered that boredom and fear and anger are the reasons that a gull's life is so short, and with these gone from his thought, he lived a long fine life indeed."

Ravan1

A man and his son had come to a fair where hundreds of people were celebrating the burning of Ravan's effigy.

Here is a brief dialogue between the son and his father over the effigy burning.

Son - Papa, why Ravan's effigy is being burnt.
Father - Because Ravan was an evil and pigheaded character who stole Ram's wife Sita.

Son - But the person who lighted the effigy himself is facing charges of bigamy and swindling of government funds.

The man hussed up his son and headed home without waiting the effigy to reduce to ashes.

"India's challenge is not to perfect it, but simply to make it better than it now is....

"Economic change must reach the ordinary Indian; it must, as it has done in Malaysia and Indonesia, resulting a visible improvement in the standard of living of the overwhelming majority of the people, including the poorest of the poor. This means that liberalization must produce not only shinier foreign cars for the affluent but jobs for the unemployed food for the hungry, and sending money in the hands of the needy."

Bell

Washington, DC Metro Station on a cold January morning in 2007. The man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes.

During that time approx. 2 thousand people went through the station, most of them on theirway to work. After 3 minutes a middle aged man noticed there was a musicianplaying. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurriedto meet his schedule.

Four minutes later the violinist received his first dollar; a woman threw the money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk...

Six minutes later:

A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.

10 minutes:

A 3-year old boy stopped but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. Every parent, without exception, forced their children to move on quickly.

45 minutes:

The musician played continuously. Only 6 people stopped and listened for a short while. About 20 gave money but continued to walk at their normal pace. The man collected a total of $32.

1 hour:

He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.

No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces everwritten, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars.

Two days before Joshua Bell sold out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100.

This is a true story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people's priorities.

The questions raised: in a common place environment at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?

One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be this: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments ever made.... How many other things are we missing?

Goose

"Unity of faith can ward off the destructive influences and brace the tottering structure."

This adage reminds one of the stories narrated in Chicken Soup for the soul.

A Sense of a Goose

Next fall, when you see geese heading south for the winter, flying along in ‘V’ formation, you might consider what science has discovered as to why they fly that way. As each bird flaps its wings, it creates an uplift for the bird immediately following. By flying in ‘V’ formation, the whole flock adds at least 71 percent greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own.

People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going more quickly and easily, because they are travelling on the thrust of one another.

When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go it alone---and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird in front.

If we have as much sense as a goose, we will stay in formation with those people who are headed the same way we are. When the head goose gets tired, it rotates back in the wing another goose flies point.

It is sensible to take turns doing demanding jobs,whether with people or with geese flying south.
Geese honk from behind to enourage those up front to keep up their speed.

What messages do we give when we honk from behind ?

Finally---and this is important---when a goose gets sick or is wounded by gunshot, and falls out of formation, two other geese fall out with that goose and follow it down to lend help and protection. They stay with the fallen goose until it is able to fly or until it dies; and only then do they launch out on their own, or with another formation to catch up with their group.

If we have the sense of a goose, we will stand by each other like that.

"Anger is a condition in which the tongue works faster than the mind.

You can't change the past, but you can ruin the present by worrying over the future.

The darkest moment of the night is just before dawn.

Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half shut afterwards.

All people smile in the same language.

A hug is a great gift... one size fits all. It can be given for any occasion and it's easy to exchange.

Everyone needs to be loved...especially when they do not deserve it.

The real measure of a man's wealth is what he has invested in eternity.

Love...and you shall be loved.

Everyone has beauty but not everyone sees it.

It's important for parents to live the same things they teach.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.

If you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for.

Marriage is like a game of compromise. When either one of the players stops compromising, the game is about to end.

The choice you make today will usually affect tomorrow.

Take time to laugh, for it is the music of the soul.

If anyone speaks badly of you, live so none will believe it.

Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears.

Love is strengthened by working through conflicts together.

The best thing parents can do for their children is to love each other.

Harsh words break no bones but they do break hearts.

To get out of a difficulty, one usually must go through it.

We take for granted the things that we should be giving thanks for.

Love is the only thing that can be divided without being diminished.

Happiness is enhanced by others but does not depend upon others.

For every minute you are angry with someone, you lose 60 seconds of happiness that you can never get back.

Do what you can, for who you can, with what you have, and where you are."

Happy birthday to Sunny Gavaskar.

Ana Ivanovic

Tennis player Ana Ivanovic's observation on present day competition is not only apt on the Tennis court but also in other spheres of life.

"There is really not much friendship between the girls on tour. There's so much rivalry and jealousy, so everyone just hangs out in their own camp. In the Locker room and players' lounge you can feel the jealousy.

"It's a shame, because it would be so nice if we could catch up over dinner or go shopping. But, sadly, I have no close friends on the tour," observed the Tennis star.

Ivanovic can take a famous quote of Mahatma Gandhi and try to spread among her Tennis fraternity.

"Bury the jealousies underground and cremate them whereever you like."

Federer

Congrats !

Tennis superstar Roger Federer has proved that there is always time for new beginnings.

Despite losing Rafael Nadal in the 2008 French Open and being bumped off in the Wimbledon and the Australian open there after, Federer won his 15th Grand Slam in just 7 years----a remarkable feature that the indomitable Rod Laver, Bjorn Borg, John McEnroe, Jimmy Conners and Pete Sampras could not achieve in their careers.
