What do u do when u get such mails? Actually try and do it? check ur impulse

UNBELIEVABLE ! BUT TRUE !!!

I THOUGHT THIS WAS GOING TO BE STUPID BUT WE REALLY CAN'T DO THIS.
Proof that the same side of our brain cannot do 2 different things at
once...

While sitting at your desk make clockwise circles with your right foot. While doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction.


Well I tried doing it, and I don't know if that was how it would be, but I thought the results were as predicted above...strange but true!

Someone asked me today to guide them through the good blogs around. Humm...not an easy question to answer....How do u judge which blog is "good" or bad"..

This I guess is a perennial question, answer to which are many.

Early morning tele-con

Me (as lost as always) : Hello
X : Hi Ayesha, Me X here How are u?
Me : Am doing well, how are u?
(Background process: Trying to figure why this x is sounding so cheerful, maybe becoz i am ready to blast)x: Tell me who is the contact person for Knowledge Management, you know i want to meet them and check how things are working out at your company?
Me (with a strong tinge of sarcasm in my voice) : Why do u want to know about KM? what would it help you with
X: Well, u may not know, i joined Y Company in the KM and Content Management Team
Me (voice takes a 360 degree turn): Ohh...i did not know,
X (sounding apologetic) : Oh is it? (gives me the details)

Well, this is me and my trail and errors with matching names to voices off late, Wasn't this bad, shows that age is catching up with me :(. The voice X who called this morning is very similar to one Z, who coincidently share the same name, and much to my surprise their voices also match....Uparwale, yeh kya chakar hai?

Anyways, this is just an example of me and my lost self...If anyone finds me somewhere, please let me know :(
Meanwhile read this article by JOHN BUCHANAN , till i find myself

I sometimes wonder what mood the Creator was in when he decided to make the various moods of people. the way we manipulate our moods to suit our whims and fancies is something which has been an astonishing fact for me. Forget other people, i sometimes amaze myself with my sudden turns of moods. At one minute i am sulking and the next i am as cheerful as u could think of, the vice-versa is more so prominent. The changing factors could be many, maybe a person, or someone's thoughts or some funny episode or something which was not to happen. I mean, its so very unpredictable.

Unpredictability of the human mind and action is a strange mystery, stranger than the smile of Mona Lisa. Not fretting or cribbing, this un-predictive nature, adds to the spice of life. Imagine a world where we knew whats gonna happen next, whats the fun. And human being, the most spoilt of the entire living beings, are never happy.

P.S: I am amazed at myself for coming up with this good for nothing post....tolerate please ;-)

Happiness

Happiness is a state of mind, which does not occur by itself. It is your choice to be happy or unhappy in life, or to be content with the life you have got. It is up to you how you relate yourself with the life's events and determine your joy as well as misery.

How do you feel when someone does good to you or when someone does something that hurts you? Do you start feeling the same for him or do you give it a second thought as to why you were treated so? This attitude toward life is the key to happiness. If your attitude is negative then even a good thing around you, will not bring happiness to you. You need not go anywhere in search of happiness. It is everywhere and right inside you. You can make up your mind to be happy and you will find your life more rewarding. Do not get disturbed with little obstacles and worries that come your way.


This has been submitted by my niece to her school magazine. The last sentence has me reeling from the minute I have read it. This simple line has a very strong effect on me.

RAINDROP

This leaf, so complete in itself,
Is only part of the tree.
And this tree, so complete in itself,
Is only part of the forest.
And the forest runs down from the hill to the sea,
And the sea, so complete in itself,
Rests like a raindrop
In the hand of God.

The Final Test

What a match it was...from start to finish. The Aussies would never want to remember this game except as the farewell game of Steve Waugh. Waugh bhai waugh...kya khela aapne.

The final moments were really touching. The entire stadium standing up to give a amazing farewell to this man, who has made such a big mark in the cricketing world.

As for the Indians well done guys. U seem to be getting better with the days. I just hope we have a equally amazing One day competition.

Jeeto India Jeeto!!!!

We are all ships returning home
laden with life's experience,
memories of work, good times and sorrows,
each with his special cargo;
And it is our common lot
to show the marks of the voyage,
here a shattered prow, there a patched rigging,
and every hulk turned black
by the unceasing batter of the restless wave.

May we be thankful for fair weather and smooth seas,
and in times of storm have the courage
and patience that mark every good mariner;
And, overall, may we have the cheering hope of joyful meetings,
as our ship at last drops anchor
in the still water of the eternal harbor.

Max Ehrmann
American Poet
