This is an advt for MILK POWER., the more you drink milk the more the power, which was subtly expressed by the Glass tumbler getting squeezed to the finger imprints due to the consumption of milk... Simply superb!!!

Day & Night same time!!!

The photograph attached was taken by the crew on board the Columbia
during its last mission, on a cloudless day.
The picture is of Europe and Africa when the sun is setting.
Half of the picture is in night. The bright dots you see are the cities' lights.

The top part of Africa is the Sahara Desert .

Note that the lights are already on in Holland , Paris , and Barcelona,
and that's it's still daylight in Dublin , London , Lisbon , and Madrid .

The sun is still shining on the Strait of Gibraltar . The Mediterranean Sea is
already in darkness.

In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean you can see the Azores Islands;
below them to the right are the Madeira Islands ; a bit below are the
Canary Islands; and further South, close to the farthest western point
of Africa , are the Cape Verde Islands.

Note that the Sahara is huge and can be seen clearly both during
day time and night time.

To the left, on top, is Greenland , totally frozen.

Restricted Thinking

RESTRICTED THINKING
First-grade teacher, Ms Neelam (Age 28) was having trouble with one of her students Singh jr. The teacher asked,"Singh Jr. what is your problem?" Singh Jr. answered, "I'm too smart for the first-grade. My sister is in the third-grade and I'm smarter than she is! I think I should be in the third-grade too!"

Ms Neelam had enough. She took Singh Jr. to the principal's office. While Singh Jr. waited in the outer office, the teacher explained to the principal what the situation was.

The principal told Ms Neelam he would give the boy a test and if he failed to answer any of his questions he was to go back to the first-grade and behave. She agreed. Singh Jr. was brought in and the conditions were explained to him and he agreed to take the test.

Principal: "What is 3 x 3?" Singh Jr.: "9".
Principal: "What is 6 x 6?" Singh Jr.: "36".

And so it went with every question the principal thought a third-grade should know.

The principal looks at Ms Neelam and tells her, "I think Singh Jr. can go to the third-grade." If you don't feel embarrassed please read further...

Ms Neelam says to the principal, "I have some of my own questions.

Can I ask him ?" The principal and Singh Jr. both agree.

Ms Neelam asks, "What does a cow have four of that I have only two of?
Singh Jr., after a moment "Legs."

Ms Neelam: "What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?"
Singh Jr.: "Pockets."

Singh Jr.: "Pants"

Ms Neelam: What starts with a C and ends with a T, is hairy, oval, delicious and contains thin whitish liquid?
Singh Jr.: Coconut

Ms Neelam: What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft And sticky? The principal's eyes open really wide and before he could stop the answer, Singh Jr. was taking charge.
Singh Jr.: Bubblegum

Ms Neelam: What does a man do standing up, a woman does sitting down and a dog does on three legs? The principal's eyes open really wide and before he could stop the answer...
Singh Jr.: Shake hands Ms Neelam: Now I will ask some "Who am I" sort of questions, okay? Singh Jr.: Yep.

Ms Neelam: You stick your poles inside me. You tie me down to get me up. I get wet before you do. Singh Jr.: Tent

Ms Neelam: A finger goes in me. You fiddle with me when you're bored. The best man always has me first. The Principal was looking restless, a bit tense and took one large Patiala Vodka peg. Singh Jr.: Wedding Ring

Ms Neelam: I come in many sizes. When I'm not well, I drip. When you blow me, you feel good. Singh Jr.: Nose

Ms Neelam: I have a stiff shaft. My tip penetrates. I come with a quiver.

Planting Character

 

BOYS !!!!

Nice Joke!!!!

A new lady teacher came to teach 8th standard students. As it was the
first day, she gave her intro, and asked all the students to Introduce
themselves with name and hobby. She said, "Let's start with the boys
first". Boys start giving their intro...

First boy: "My name is John, and my hobby is to see bubble in the
Bathtub".

Teacher was confused to listen but said, "Interesting. Well, Ok. In fact, we must be honest in telling the hobby. And after all there is essentially a child in each of us. So it's ok John. Yes next".

Second boy: "Myself Peter and my hobby is to see bubble in the bathtub."

Teacher now got surprised and said, "Good. I like the spirit of supporting a friend. Ok next".

Third boy: "I'm Smith and my hobby is to see bubble in the bathtub".

Teacher: "Guys are you joking or what? Please be sincere. Ok next".

This continues...

And the last boy stands up "I'm Harry and my hobby is to see Bubble in the bathtub".

Exhausted, the teacher said, "I don't think I will be able to teach un-grown boys for long. Anyway, now the girls please."

First girl: "I'm Julie and my hobby is to see birds".

Teacher: "Good. At last I got something different. Ok next".

Second girl: "I'm Ruby and I like to collect perfumes".

Teacher "Now it's like educated grown up girls. Ok next.
You sweet Girl; Yes you..."

Most beautiful girl of the class gets up:

"Maam, my name is Bubble, and my hobby is to take bath three times a day".

Nature musings

The pleasant gentle breeze
The cool and sunny morning
The green valley & the little lambs
The natures bounty

Walk by the Nature
Steals the Heart
Make Us to think of the Maker
Make us to forget the world
Make us to inhale the Nature

...Just passing thoughts on seeing this wonderful Picture!

Staying Young and Happy

STAYING YOUNG & HAPPY

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay them.

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep learning: Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain get idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's!

4. Enjoy the simple things: May be any thing, simple walk, sharing jokes, cooking.,

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and Lots of time with HIM/HER.

6. The tears happen: Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourself. LIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love: Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is .

10. Tell the people you love that you really love them, at every possible opportunity.

True friend provides

TRUE FRIEND WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH:-

Comfort on difficult days,
Smiles when sadness intrudes,
Rainbows to follow the clouds,
Laughter to kiss your lips,
Sunsets to warm your heart,
Gentle hugs when spirits sag,
Friendships to brighten your being,
Beauty for your eyes to see,
Confidence for when you doubt,
Faith so that you can believe,
Courage to know yourself,
Patience to accept the truth,
And love to complete your life.......

one minute self improvement

Can you improve your life in one minute?
The answer is yes!

Most of us find it difficult to take time out to relax, to play, to just breathe. We're in such a hurry all the time...but I know we can all find at least one minute to vastly improve our lives!

Give some of these great suggestions a try and see how the quality of your life improves!
Want to make some positive gains in your life? A lot of folks would like to improve their lifestyle, but just can't find the time to take action. If you are already living a busy lifestyle, finding the time to make a positive change CAN pose a seemingly insurmountable problem.

Still ... the highest mountain is scaled only step at a time, and the biggest goal is only accomplished one step at a time. And actually -- it's impossible to take more than one step at a time anyway.

Why not try an approach of focusing on just what you can accomplish in one minute -­ just 60 seconds. That's enough time to at least re-focus on a goal, and plan one small action to move you in your desired direction.

You can actually do quite a bit in only one minute. Here are some ways to use the power of a single minute:

Exercise for One Minute:-No time to go to the gym? OK. Forget about the next 59 minutes, and just focus on the next one minute. Perhaps do a deep breathing exercise, or one minute of push-ups or sit-ups. Or invest in one of those easy-to-use $50 home gym systems, and just do a single exercise for 1 minute. After a while you may expand to two minutes ... and wow, you have just made a 200% jump.

Relax for One:- MinuteJust relax into your chair and suck in a slow deep breath all the way down into your belly. Then open your mouth slightly, and release your breath as slowly as you can. Repeat this for just one minute to refresh your mind with increased oxygen.

Calm Your Mind:- For One MinuteYour mind is a fabulous theater, and contains wonderful visions of your favorite places. Go visit one of those places for one minute. Just relax and clear your mind wherever you may be -- in a plane, waiting in a bank line, or at your desk. Now revisit your favorite place in your mental theatre for one minute. You'll come away feeling refreshed, and a lot calmer and clearer.

Change Your Outlook for One Minute:- You can even experiment going outside your normal self for a minute. Try acting the exact opposite of how you usually act for one minute. If you tend to be introverted, think like an extrovert. If you are an engineer, think like an artist. If you are a man, think like a woman.

Re-Frame a Problem for One Minute:- Choose a problem, then select a different frame of reference to consider it from. Try considering the problem through the eyes of someone you admire. Does the problem look different? Try looking at it with the mind Albert Einstein or Bill Gates or Martha Stewart. Now how does the problem look?

Be Happy for One Minute:- Maybe you are currently overwhelmed with problems and challenges beyond your control. Try finding something to give thanks for, and focus on being grateful. Forget any current or past tragedies or disasters, and allow yourself to be happy for one minute.

You really can achieve wonders in just one minute. And these single minutes can add up to a greatly improved quality of life. Give it a try!

True Love

There was once this guy who is very much in love with his
girl.
This romantic guy folded 1,000 pieces of paper cranes as a gift
to his girl.
Although, at that time he was just a small fry in his
company,
his future doesn't seem too bright, they were very happy

together. Until one day, his girl told him she was going to

aris and will never come back. She also told him that she

cannot visualize any future for the both of them, so they went

their own ways there and then...


Heartbroken, the guy agreed. But when he regained his

confidence, he worked hard day and night, slogging his body and

mind just to make something out of himself.


Finally with all the hard work and the help of friends, this
guy had set up his own company ...

You never fail until you stop trying. One rainy day, while
this guy was driving, he saw an elderly couple sharing an umbrella in
the rain walking to some destination.

Even with the umbrella, they were still drenched. It didn't
take him long to realize they were his girl's parents.


With a heart in getting back at them, he drove slowly beside
the

couple, wanting them to spot him in his luxury sedan. He wanted

them to know that he wasn't the same any more; he had his own

company, car, condo, etc. He made it! What he saw next confused

him, the couple was walking towards a cemetery, and so he got

out of his car and followed...and he saw his girl, a photograph

of her smiling sweetly as ever at him from her tombstone and he

saw his paper cranes right beside her...


Herparents saw him. He asked them why this had happened.
They

explained,she did not leave for France at all. She was ill with

cancer. She had believed that he will make it someday, but she

did not want to be his obstacle... therefore she had chosen to

leave him. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you

want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they

have. She had wanted her parents to put his paper cranes beside

her, because, if the day comes when fate brings him to her

again...he can take some of those back with him...



Once you have loved, you will always love. For what's in
your mind may escape but what's in your heart will remain forever.


The guy just wept...The worst way to miss someone is to be

sitting right beside her knowing you can't have her, see her or

be with her ever again.........hope you understand.


Find timeto realize that there is one person who means so
much to you, for you might wake up one morning losing that person who
you thought meant nothing to you.

DO IT ANYWAY

People are often unreasonable,illogical and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind,people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful,you will win some false friends and true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank,people may cheat you;
Be honest anyway.

What you spend years building,someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness,they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today,people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have,and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis,it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

Hard work vs Smart work

Jack and Max are attending a religious service.
Jack wonders whether it would be all right to smoke while praying.
Max replies, "Why don't you ask the Priest?"
So Jack goes up to the Priest and asks, "Priest, may I smoke while I pray?"
But the Priest says, "No, my son, you may not. That's utter disrespect to our religion."
Jack goes back to his friend and tells him what the good Priest told him.
Max says, "I'm not surprised. You asked the wrong question. Let me try."
And so Max goes up to the Priest and asks, "Priest, may I pray while I smoke?"
To which the Priest eagerly replies, "By all means, my son, by all means."


Moral: The reply you get depends on the question you ask.
"Success Doesn't Need Hard Work It needs Smart Work"

Forgive and Forget

A kindergarten teacher has decided to let her class play a game.

Theteacher told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bagcontaining a few potatoes. Each potato will be given a name of a person that the child hates, so the number of potatoes that a child will put inhis/her plastic bag will depend on the number of people he/she hates.

Sowhen the day came, every child brought some potatoes with the name ofthe people he/she hated. Some had 2 potatoes; some 3 while some up to 5potatoes.The teacher then told the children to carry with them the potatoes inthe plastic bag wherever they go (even to the toilet) for 1 week. Daysafter days passed by, and the children started to complain due to theunpleasant smell let out by the rotten potatoes. Besides, those having 5 potatoes also had to carry heavier bags.

After 1 week, the children wererelieved because the game had finally ended.The teacher asked: "How did you feel while carrying the potatoes withyou for 1 week?" The children let out their frustrations and startedcomplaining of the trouble that they had to go through having to carrythe heavy and smelly potatoes wherever they go.

Then the teacher toldthem the hidden meaning behind the game.

The teacher said: "This is exactly the situation when you carry your hatred for somebody insideyour heart.The stench of hatred will contaminate your heart and you will carry itwith you wherever you go. If you cannot tolerate the smell of rottenpotatoes for just 1 week, can you imagine what is it like to have thestench of hatred in your heart for your lifetime?"

MORAL OF THE STORY:Throw away any hatred for anyone from your heart so that you will notcarry sins for a lifetime. Forgiving others is the best attitude totake. "Learn to Forgive and Forget."

Never Judge other by their appearance

A lady in a faded gingham dress and her husband, dressed in a homespun threadbare suit, stepped off the train in Boston and walked timidly without an appointment into the Harvard University President's outer office.
The secretary could tell in a moment that such backwoods, country hicks had no business at Harvard and probably didn't even deserve to be in Cambridge.
"We want to see the president," the man said softly.
"He'll be busy all day," the secretary snapped.
"We'll wait," the lady replied.
For hours the secretary ignored them, hoping that the couple would finally become discouraged and go away. They didn't and the secretary grew frustrated and finally decided to disturb the president, even though it was a chore she always regretted.
"Maybe if you see them for a few minutes, they'll leave," she said to him.
He sighed in exasperation and nodded. Someone of his importance obviously didn't have the time to spend with them, but he detested gingham dresses and homespun suits cluttering up his outer office.
The president, stern faced and with dignity, strutted toward the couple.
The lady told him, "We had a son who attended Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was happy here. But about a year ago, he was accidentally killed. My husband and I would like to erect a memorial to him, somewhere on campus."
The president wasn't touched.... He was shocked.
"Madam," he said, gruffly, "we can't put up a statue for every person who attended Harvard and died. If we did, this place would look like a cemetery."
"Oh, no," the lady explained quickly. "We don't want to erect a statue. We thought we would like to give a building to Harvard."
The president rolled his eyes. He glanced at the gingham dress and homespun suit, and then exclaimed, "A building! Do you have any earthly idea how much a building costs? We have over seven and a half million dollars in the physical buildings here at Harvard."
For a moment the lady was silent.
The president was pleased. Maybe he could get rid of them now.
The lady turned to her husband and said quietly, "Is that all it costs to start a university? Why don't we just start our own?"
Her husband nodded.
The president's face wilted in confusion and bewilderment. Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford got up and walked away, traveling to Palo Alto, California where they established the University that bears their name, Stanford University, a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about.

fantastic illusion

I had received this illusion by e-mail, worth watching the transformation. The above images from your seat in frontof the computer, Mr.Angry is on the left, and Mrs.Calmis on the right. Get up from your seat...and move back 12 feet,and PRESTO!!

They switch places!! I believe this illusion was created by PhillippeG.Schyns and Aude Oliva of the Univ. of Glasgow. This proves that we may not be seeing what's actuallythere, all the time!!
