Do good unto others what you want others do unto you

niceA nice story ..

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay,for his hungry stomach, decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. Onthe way through school, he found he had only one thin dime left and he was very hungry.

However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. The woman thought he looked hungry, so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?” “You don’t owe me anything,” she replied. “Mother has taught us,never to accept pay for a kindness.” He said…”Then I thank you from my heart.”

Love quotes ;-)

puppy_love_

Be close with someone
Who makes you happy.
But be closer with someone
Who can’t be happy without you

****************************

U cant make some love you
All you can do is to be someone
Who can be loved
The rest is upto the person
To realize your worth….

****************************

The purpose of relationship
Is not to have someone
Who is complete
But to have someone
With whom you can be complete

****************************
You can live without the person
Who says “u r mine”
But u cannot live without someone
Who says “I am yours”

jus’ li’ that!

writing 2 imp things to remember in life…

* don’t take any decisions when you are angry
* don’t make any promises when you are happy…

What is your nerd type?

Hey I recently visited Kumar’s blog (a vistor on my blog space) and found this time pass kool stuff…check it out :-) ……well below what you see is my test result…hmm, i can see few friends of mine arching eyebrows and saying…wo! this test works ;-)

What Be Your Nerd Type?

Your Result: Drama Nerd

You sure do love the spotlight and probably have a very out-going and loud personality. Or not. That’s just a stereotype, of course. Participation in the theatre is something to be very proud of. Whether you have a great voice for musicals, or astounding skills for dramas/comedies; keep up the good work. We need more entertainment these days that isn’t television and video games (not that these things are bad, necessarily.)

jus’ li’ that!

writing

“If you want something you never had,
do something you have never done.

Don’t go the way life takes you.
Take the life the way you go.

And remember you are born to live and
not living because you are born.”

Unleash your mind

I had an interesting meeting with a representative from iDiscoveri, an enterprise founded by alumni from Harvard, XLRI and IIT. Having presence in Bangalore, Gurgaon and Mumbai, this company has a unique vision of reviving the education scenario in India. Though the objective of my meeting was corporate driven but I was quite impressed with innovative ideas that form the very basis of this enterprise. So thought of blogging about it.

Slow sinking of the ship?

Well, the answer lies with the Captain (pun intended). Low fares are easy to draw in people but what is being done to retain them?

I was on a 21:30 hrs flight from Chennai to Bangalore last night. No points for guessing the flight was delayed as usual. We landed in Bangalore at 02:30 hrs! The Chennai airport with roughly around 100+ wailing kids, distressed parents and sleepy other co-passengers, waiting endlessly for their wait to end.

4/9 for Australia

In 9 years of World cup history (the first world cup was played in 1975 in England), Australia has won 4 matches. And 2007 victory is Hatrick for Australia! What is it that they are doing right and we Indians wrong? Don’t we practice enough? Or is it something else? My personal opinion is that we lack the killing spirit…. The do or die attitude which drives you to push yourself and give the best and may be team spirit as well? Not sure though.

Mr. Alphonso and Ms. Kessar get their visa clearance

mango

It is mixed emotions for me. On one hand India clears the irradiation test for its maangas (read mangoes) hence placing itself on the exporter list after 18 years. Following which now Americans get a taste of ‘raja’ of the Indian fruits. Other markets like Japan, China, Australia and New Zealand have also opened up much to the joy of mango producers. Reliance which can make business out of dust, if they have their way, have said to have planted 1 lakh mango saplings in Jamnagar, Gujarat and will be exporting mangoes worth Rs.30 crore to the US this year!
