Diwali - six more days to go...
Another year...Another festival...Away from home...
Many times it gives a feel "what a life...being away from home and missing almost most of the festivals.."
But when we see that we are not alone to feel like this, it gives a kind of smile, "we are on same boat buddy"
Early morning phone calls, sms, mails, make us feel as if we celebrate d occasion with our beloved ones...thanks to technology!!!
got bored...another sleepless Saturday morning !!!

Face book??? - Think about it again!!!

2. Privacy settings revert to a less safe default mode after each redesign
3. Facebook ads may contain malware
4. Your real friends unknowingly make you vulnerable

The Man In The Glass
When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king for a day,
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself
And see what that man has to say.
For it isn’t your father or mother or wife
Whose judgment upon you must pass.
The fellow whose verdict counts most in you life
Is the one staring back from the glass.
You may be like Jack Horner and chisel a plum
And think you’re a wonderful guy.
But the man in the glass says you’re only a bum
If you can’t look him straight in the eye.
He’s the fellow to please-never mind all the rest,
For he’s with you clear to the end.
And you’ve passed your most dangerous, difficult test
If the man in the glass is your friend.
You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass.
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you’ve cheated the man in the glass.

Me & Me
"Screeeechhhhhhh... the open top maruti gypsy tumbled n tumbled on for 5 times before it came to rest on its top...Who is that inside...looks someone familiar to me...went near to have a close look... Oh...Oh..Oh My God... it's me...it's me who is in that wrecked gypsy...Blood blood..everywhere...am i dying?"
I woke up - drenched in sweat...Heart was thumping fast...It was 00:30... A cool, calm night.
Everyone in the home were sleeping...Came out of my room...went to kitchen.
Opened fridge to drink chill water, but changed my mind as there was orange juice...
Filled it in glass and went to balcony...It was a full moon day.
It was so amazing to watch the full moon in a dark sky through coconut tree leaves...Took a gulp of juice and a deep breathe...
The one good thing to live near a sea-shore is you can enjoy the beauty of nature, especially at night without any disturbances, as long as you wish...
Dragged a chair and tea-table to balcony from room...sat there leisurely enjoying the chill weather, cool breeze...
Closed my eyes...
The pleasantness, and the silence of the surroundings took me into past in no time...It all happened in a one such full moon night...20:00 - 23:00: those three hours, still pull my heart out from me at some nights...

Xams
I hate xams. Don’t ask me why
Right from my school days, I didn’t like the concept of exams.
Why do they value a student’s capacity by keeping exams?
Looks like our whole education system is just to test the memory capacity… how good one is in memorizing things…
Unfortunately I’m bad in it…
I can’t memorize a thing…right from my school days I used to skip “memory poem” and Miss(teacher) used to beat me with scale
Imagine how good it would be if there are no exams…
Student's skills should be identified and nurtured based on their interest
Student's skills should be identified and nurtured based on their interest
Whole education system needs a re-modification…
PS: got to study for MBA exams…catch ya later…
Answered Prayers
A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men on it were able to swim to a small, desert like island. The two survivors, not knowing what else to do, agreed that they had no other recourse but to pray to God. However, to find out whose prayer was more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.
The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the land, and he was able to eat its fruit. The other man's parcel of land remained barren.
After a week, the first man was lonely and he decided to pray for a wife. The next day, another ship was wrecked, and the only survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the land. On the other side of the island, there was nothing.
Soon the first man prayed for a house, clothes, more food. The next day, like magic, all of these were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing.
Finally, the first man prayed for a ship, so that he and his wife would leave the island. In the morning, he found a ship docked at his side of the island.
The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island. He considered the other man unworthy to receive God's blessings, since none of his prayers had been answered. As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from heaven booming, "Why are you leaving your companion on the island?"
"My blessings are mine alone, since I was the one who prayed for them," the first man answered. "His prayers were all unanswered and so he does not deserve anything."
"You are mistaken!" the voice rebuked him. "He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of my blessings."
"Tell me," the first man asked the voice, "What did he pray for that I should owe him anything?" "He prayed that all your prayers be answered."
For all we know, our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone, but those of another praying for us.
