Good Morning 

A recap of our life....

  When

 

 The school reopened in June,


   


And we settled in our new desks and


 
 


Benches!


 
 
 


When we queued up in book depot,


 
 


And got our new books


 
 


And notes!


 
 
 


When we wanted two Sundays and no Mondays, yet


 
 


Managed to line up daily for the morning prayers.


 
 


We learnt writing with


 
 


Slates and pencils, and


 
 


Progressed To fountain pens and ball pens and then Micro tips!


 
 
 


When we began drawing with crayons and evolved to


 
 


Color pencils and finally sketch pens!


 
 
 


When we started calculating


 
 


First with tables and then with


 
 


Clarke's tables and advanced to


 
 


Calculators and computers!


 
 
 


When we chased one another in the


 
 


Corridors in Intervals, and returned to the classrooms


 
 


Drenched in sweat!


 
 
 


When we had lunch in classrooms, corridors,


 
 


Playgrounds,


 
 


Under the trees and even in cycle sheds!


 
 
 


When all the colors in the world,


 
 


Decorated the campus on the Second Saturdays!


 
 
 


When a single P.T. period in the week's Time Table,


 
 


Was awaited more eagerly than the monsoons!


 
 
 


When cricket was played with writing pads as bats,


 
 


And Neckties and socks rolled into balls!


 
 
 


When few played


 
 


"Kabadi" and "Kho-Kho" in scorching sun,


 
 


While others simply played


 
 


"Book cricket" in the


 
 


Confines of classroom!


 
 
 


Of fights but no conspiracies,


 
 


Of Competitions but seldom jealousy!


 
 
 


When we used to


 
 


Watch Live Cricket telecast,


 
 


In the opposite house in Intervals and Lunch breaks!


 
 
 


When few rushed at 3:45 to


 
 


"Conquer" window seats in bus!


 
 


While few others had "Big Fun", "peppermint",


 
 


"Kulfi", "milk ice!" and "sharbat!" at 4o Clock!


 
 


Gone are the days


 
 


Of Sports Day,


 
 


And the annual School Day,


 
 


And the one-month long


 
 


Preparations for them.


 
 
 


Gone are the days


 
 


Of the stressful Quarterly,


 
 


Half Yearly and Annual Exams, and the most


 
 


Enjoyed holidays after them!


 
 
 


Gone are the days


 
 


Of tenth and twelfth standards, when


 
 


We
spent almost the whole year writing revision tests!


 
 


We learnt,


 
 


We enjoyed,


 
 


We played,


 
 


We won,


 
 


We lost,


 
 


We laughed,


 
 


We cried,


 
 


We fought,


 
 


We thought.


 
 


With so much fun in them, so many friends,


 
 


So much experience, all this and more!


 
 
 


Gone are the days


 
 


When we used


 
 


To talk for hours with our friends!


 
 


Now we don't have time to say a `Hi'!


 
 
 


Gone are the days


 
 


When we played games on the road!


 
 


Now we


 
 


think about Code on the road !


 
 
 


Gone are the days


 
 


When we saw stars


 
 


Shining at Night!


 
 


Now we see stars when our code doesn't


 
 


Work!


 
 
 


Gone are the days


 
 


When we sat to chat with Friends on grounds!


 
 


Now we chat in chat rooms.....!


 
 
 


Gone are the days


 
 


Where we


 
 


studied just to pass!


 
 


Now we study to save our job!


 
 


Gone are the days


 
 


Where we had no money in our pockets and still fun filled on our hearts!!


 
 


Now we have the ATM as well as credit card but with an empty heart!!


 
 


Gone are the days


 
 


Where we shouted on the road!


 
 


Now we don't shout even at home


 
 


Gone are the days


 
 


Where we got lectures from all!


 
 


Now we give lectures to all... like the one I'm doing now....!!


 
 


Gone are the days


 
 


But not the memories, which will be


 
 


Lingering in our hearts for ever and ever and


 
 


Ever and ever and ever.....


 
 
 


Gone are the Days.... But still there are lot more Days to come in our Life!!


 
 


NO MATTER HOW BUSY YOU ARE,


 
 


DONT FORGET TO


 
 


LIVE THE LIFE THAT STILL


 
 


EXISTS......

A Best topic till date !


God created the donkey

and said to him.
"You will be a donkey. You will work un-tiringly from sunrise to sunset
carrying burdens on your back. You will eat grass,
you will have no intelligence and you will live 50 years."
The donkey answered:

"I will be a donkey, but to live
50years is much. Give me only 20years"
God granted his wish.

....................................................................

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


God created the dog



and said to him:
"You will guard the house of man. You will be his best Friend.
You will eat the scraps that he gives you and
you will live
30years.
You will be a dog. "

The dog answered:

"Sir, to live
30years is too much,give me only15 years.
" God granted his wish.
size=6>
........................................................................

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God created the monkey



and said to him:
"You will be a monkey. You will swing from branch to branch doing tricks.
You will be amusing and you will live

20
years. "
The monkey
answered:

"To live
20years is too much, give me only 10years."
God granted his wish.

....................................................................

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Finally God created man...


and said to him:
"You will be man, the only rational creature on the face of the earth.
You will use your intelligence to become master over all the animals.
You will dominate the world and you will live
20years."

Man responded:

"Sir, I will be a man but to live only

20
years is very little,
give me the
30years that the donkey refused,
the
15years that the dog did not want and
the
10years the monkey refused.
" God granted man's wish
................................................................


And since then, man lives

20
years as a man ,

marries and spends

30
years like a donkey,
working and carrying all the burdens on his back.


Then when his children are grown,
he lives
15
years like a dog taking care of the house
and eating whatever is given to him,


so that when he is old,
he can retire and live
10years like a monkey,
going from house to house and from one son or
daughter to another doing tricks to amuse his grandchildren.


That's Life.

Newton Laws for Software :)

Law 1 ..Every Software Engineer continues his state of chatting or forwarding mails unless he is assigned work by manager.


Law 2. The rate of change in the software is directly proportional to the payment received from client and takes place at the quick rate as when deadline force is applied.

Law 3. For every Use Case Manifestation there is an equal but opposite Software Implementation.
Bonus :-)


Law 4 .. Bugs can neither be created nor be removed from software by a developer. It can only be converted from one form to another. The total number of bugs in the software always remains constant.

Please read below. Very useful.

Please read below. Very useful.
 
1) Don't put your mobile closer to your ears until the recipient
answers, Because directly
 after dialing, the mobile phone would use it's maximum signaling   power, which is:   2watts = 33dbi. Please Be Careful. Please use left ear while using   cell (mobile), because if you use the right one it may affect brain directly.This is a true fact from Apollo medical team.
 
2) Do not drink APPY FIZZ . It contains cancer causing agent.
 
3) Dont eat Mentos before or after drinking Coke or Pepsi coz the person will die  immediately as the mixture becomes cyanide... Please fwd to whom u care
 
4) Don't eat kurkure because it contains high amount of plastic if U  don't Believe burn kurkure n u can see plastic melting. News report from Times of India
 
5) Avoid these tablets they are very dangerous
* D cold
* Vicks action- 500

6) Cotton Ear Buds... (Must read it)
 
Please do not show sympathy to people selling buds on roadside or at  Signals.....Just wanted to warn you people not to buy those packs of ear buds you   get at the roadside. It's made from cotton that has already been used   in hospitals.They take all the dirty, blood and pus filled cotton, wash it, bleach it  and use it to make ear buds. So, unless you want to become the first person in the world to get Herpes Zoster Oticus (a viral infection of  the inner, middle, and external ear) of the ear and that too from a  cotton bud, DON'T BUY THEM!

Please forward to all this may be helpful for someone..... ..

Use Blackle ..


Google is the second Brain to many of us.

We use it frequently.

It uses white screen which consumes high power.

Read the following.........
If Google had a black screen,

taking in Account the huge number of page views,

according to calculations, 750 mega watts/hour

per year would be saved..!!!!!!

In response, Google created a black version

of its search engine, called Blackle,

with the exact same functions as the white version,

but obviously with lower energy consumption:

Help spread the word.. Please use

http://www.blackle.com/



Info from the Wiki.. ::-
Blackle.com
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blackle is a website powered by Google Custom Search<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Custom_Search>, which was developed by Heap Media Australia.[1]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackle.com#cite_note-smh-0>[2]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackle.com#cite_note-metro-1>
Principle
The principle behind Blackle is based on the idea that the display of different colors consumes different amounts of energy on computer monitors<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_monitors>.[3]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackle.com#cite_note-Roberson-2> The creators of Blackle cite a 2002 study from Roberson, who tested a variety of CRT and LCD monitors and found that an all black screen consumed less energy than an all white screen on all of them.
The creators of Blackle state that the idea behind the site came from a blog<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog>, which estimated that a black Google would save 750 megawatt-hours<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watt-hours> a year[1]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackle.com#cite_note-smh-0>. A megawatt-hour is the equivalent of ten thousand 100 watt light bulbs burning continuously for 1 hour. On the Blackle homepage<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homepage>, the creators of Blackle provide a count of the number of watt-hours that they claim the users of Blackle have collectively saved.
Functionality
Because it is not owned by Google Inc<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google>., the Blackle site lacks many of the features of conventional Google, including the 'Cached' and 'Similar Pages' options, and it does not have as many of the corresponding links that can be found on the Google homepage. These links include items such as preferences, advanced search, language tools, images, groups, news, scholar, and the iGoogle<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IGoogle> features.
Blackle is a Google Custom Search<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Custom_Search> partner, which allows for the customization of the returned search results. As such, a search in Blackle does not necessarily return the same results as a Google search.
Criticism
The creators of Blackle have been criticized for lack of clarity regarding the type, size and manufacturer of monitor that the power usage claims refer to. One critic, a technology journalist who reviews computer hardware, tested four cathode ray tube<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathode_ray_tube> (CRT) monitors and 23 liquid crystal display<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_crystal_display> (LCD) monitors, and found that power was saved by the CRT monitors, but was less than that claimed by the blog post that inspired Blackle. The LCD monitors tested showed increased power use in the majority of cases, although most of the larger (24 inch) monitors did use less power displaying a black screen.[1]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackle.com#cite_note-smh-0>[4]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackle.com#cite_note-techlogg2-3>[5]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackle.com#cite_note-techlogg3-4>
Relative to other energy saving initiatives, it has been suggested that the energy savings of Blackle is small. For example, the Climate Savers Computing Initiative, a consortium of large software and hardware vendors that promotes efficient computing on a large scale, is forecasting a power saving of 10,000 MW by 2010. [6]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackle.com#cite_note-Submit_Express-5>

For all the CS Engineers out there…

We all know that the Lord Rama has been addressed by different names
like Janakirama, Kalyanarama, Anantharama etc.
Likewise, Krishna have different names like Gopal akrishna, Ananthakrishna etc.

One day, our Ancestors were thinking how to refer to all those names in an easy way.

You all know that our ancestors
were pioneers in mathematics. With their mathematical knowledge, they found a concept called ARRAY.
 
They decided to put all names of Rama in an array called RAMA and all  names of Krishna in an array called KRISHNA ................. ... ...
 


From then on they start referring them as "ARRAY RAMA ARRAY KRISHNA"

 

That's the reason why ISKCON sings that shloka and distributes that pamphlet to make ur prayers easy..

Google Week: 101 Tips, Tricks And Hacks

Google Week: 101 Tips, Tricks And Hacks

The ultimate collection of Google tips
 

1. The best way to begin searching harder with Google is by clicking the Advanced Search link.

 

2. This lets you search for exact phrases, "all these words", or one of the specified keywords by entering search terms into the appropriate box.

 

3. You can also define how many results you want on the page, what language and what file type you're looking for, all with menus.

 

4. Advanced Search lets you type in a Top Level Domain (like .co.uk) in the "Search within site of domain" box to restrict results.

 

5. And you can click the "Date, usage rights, numeric range and more" link to access more advanced features.

 

6. Save time – most of these advanced features are also available in Google's front page search box, as command line parameters.

 

7. Google's main search invisibly combines search terms with the Boolean construct "AND". When you enter smoke fire – it looks for smoke AND fire.

 

8. To make Google search for smoke or fire, just type smoke OR fire

 

9. Instead of OR you can type the | symbol, like this: smoke | fire

 

10. Boolean connectors like AND and OR are case sensitive. They must be upper case.

 

11. Search for a specific term, then one keyword OR another by grouping them with parentheses, like this: water (smoke OR fire)

 

12. To look for phrases, put them in quotes: "there's no smoke without fire"

 

13. Synonym search looks for words that mean similar things. Use the tilde symbol before your keyword, like this: ~eggplant

 

14.. Exclude specific key words with the minus operator. new pram -ebay excludes all results from eBay.

 

15. Common words, like I, and, then and if are ignored by Google.. These are called "stop words".

 

16. The plus operator makes sure stop words are included. Like: fish +and chips

 

17. If a stop word is included in a phrase between quote marks as a phrase, the word is searched for.

 

18. You can also ask Google to fill in a blank. Try: Christopher Columbus discovered *

 

19. Search for a numerical range using the numrange operator.. For example, search for Sony TV between £300 and £500 with the string Sony TV £300..£500

 

20. Google recognises 13 main file types through advanced search, including all Microsoft Office Document types, Lotus,

PostScript, Shockwave Flash and plain text files.

 

21. Search for any filetype directly using the modifier filetype:[filetype extension]. For example: soccer filetype:pdf

 

22. Exclude entire file types, using the same Boolean syntax we used to exclude key words earlier: rugby -filetype:doc

 

23, In fact, you can combine any Boolean search operators, as long as your syntax is correct. An example: "sausage and mash" -onions filetype:doc

 

24. Google has some very powerful, hidden search parameters, too. For example "intitle" only searches page titles. Try intitle:herbs

 

25. If you're looking for files rather than pages – give index of as the intitle: parameter. It helps you find web and FTP

directories.

 

26. The modifier inurl only searches the web address of a page: give inurl:spices a go.

 

27. Find live webcams by searching for: inurl:view/view. shtml

 

28. The modifier inanchor is very specific, only finding results in text used in page links.

 

29. Want to know how many links there are to a site? Try link:sitename – for example link:www.mozilla. org

 

30. Similarly, you can find pages that Google thinks are related in content, using the related: modifier. Use it like this: related:www.microsoft. com

 

31.. The modifier info:site_name returns information about the specified page.

 

32. Alternatively, do a normal search then click the "Similar Pages" link next to a result.

 

33. Specify a site to search with the site: modifier – like this: search tips site:www.techradar. com

 

34. The above tip works with directory sites like www.dmoz.org and dynamically generated sites.

 

35. Access Google Directory – a database of handpicked and rated sites – at directory.google. com

 

36. The Boolean operators intitle and inurl work in Google directory, as does OR.

 

37. Use the site: modifier when searching Google Images, at images.google. com. For example: dvd recorder site:www.amazon.co. uk

 

38. Similar, using "site:.com" will only return results from .com domains.

 

39. Google News (news.google. com) has its own Boolean parameters. For example "intext" pulls terms from the body of a story.

 

40. If you use the operator "source:" in Google News, you can pick specific archives. For example: heather mills source:daily_ mail

 

41. Using the "location:" filter enables you to return news from a chosen country. location:uk for example.

 

42. Similarly, Google Blogsearch (blogsearch.google. com) has its own syntax. You can search for a blog title, for example, using inblogtitle:<keyword>

 

43. The general search engine can get very specific indeed. Try movie:<name of film> to look for movie reviews.

 

44. The modifier film: works just as well!

 

45. Enter showtimes and Google will prompt you for your postcode. Enter it and it'll tell you when and where local films are showing.

 

46. For a dedicated film search page, go to www.google.co. uk/movies

 

47. If you ticked "Remember this Location" when you searched for show times, the next time you can enter the name of a current

film instead.

 

48. Google really likes movies. Try typing director: The Dark Knight into the main search box.

 

49. For cast lists, try cast: name_of_film

 

50. The modifier music: followed by a band, song or album returns music reviews.

 

51. Try searching for weather London – you'll get a full 4-day forecast.

 

52. There's also a built-in dictionary. Try define:<word> in the search box.

 

53. Google stores the content of old sites. You can search this cache direct with the syntax keyword cache:site_url

 

54. Alternatively, enter cache:site_url into Google's search box to be taken direct to the stored site.

 

55. No calculator handy? Use Google's built in features. Try typing 12*15 and hitting "Google Search".

 

56. Google's calculator converts measurements and understands natural language. Type in 14 stones in kilos, for example.

 

57. It does currency conversion too. Try 200 pounds in euros

 

58. If you know the currency code you can type 200 GBP in EUR instead for more reliable results.

 

59. And temperature! Just type: 98 f to c to convert Fahrenheit to Centigrade.

 

60. Want to know how clever Google really is? Type 2476 in roman numerals, then hit "Google Search"...

 

61. You can personalise your Google experience by creating a Google account. Go to www.google.com/ account/ then click "Create Account".

 

62. With a Google account there are lots more extras available. You'll get a free Gmail email account for one...

 

63. With your Google account, you can also personalise your front page. Click "iGoogle" to add blog and site feeds.

 

64. Click "Add a Tab" in iGoogle to add custom tabs. Google automatically populates them with suitable site suggestions.

 

65. iGoogle allows you to theme your page too. Click "Select Theme" to change the default look.

 

66. Some iGoogle themes change with time..."Sweet Dreams" is a theme that turns from day to night as you browse.

 

67. Click "More" under "Try something new" to access a full list of Google sites and new features.

 

68. "Custom Search" enables you to create a branded Google search for your own site.

 

69. An active, useful service missing from the list is "Personalised Search" – but you can access it via www.google.com/ psearch when you're logged in.

 

70. This page lists searches you have recently made – and is divided into categories. Clicking "pause" stops Google from recording your history.

 

71. Click "Trends" to see the sites you visit most, the terms you enter most often and links you've clicked on!

 

72. Personalised Search also includes a bookmark facility – which enables you to save bookmarks online and access them from anywhere.

 

73. You can add bookmarks or access your bookmarks using the iGoogle Bookmarks gadget.

 

74. Did you know you can search within your returned results? Scroll down to the bottom of the search results page to find the link.

 

75. Search locally by appending your postcode to the end of query. For example Indian food BA1 2BW finds restaurants in Bath, with addresses and phone numbers!

 

76. Looking for a map? Just add map to the end of your query, like this: Leeds map

 

77. Google finds images just as easily and lists them at the top, when you add image to the end of your search.

 

78. Google Image Search recognises faces... add &imgtype=face to the end of the returned URL in the location bar, then hit

enter to filter out pictures that aren't people.

 

79. Keeping an eye on stocks? Type stocks: followed by market ticker for the company and Google returns the data from Google Finance.

 

80. Enter the carrier and flight number in Google's main search box to return flight tracking information.

 

81. What time is it? Find out anywhere by typing time then the name of a place.

 

82. You may have noticed Google suggests alternate spellings for search terms – that's the built in spell checker!

 

83. You can invoke the spell checker directly by using spell: followed by your keyword.

 

84. Click "I'm Feeling Lucky" to be taken straight to the first page Google finds for your keyword.

 

85. Enter a statistics-based query like population of Britain into Google, and it will show you the answer at the top of its results.

 

86. If your search has none-English results, click "Translate this Page" to see it in English.

 

87. You can search foreign sites specifically by clicking "Language Tools", then choosing which countries sites to translate your query to.

 

88. Other features on the language tools page include a translator for blocks of text you can type or cut and paste.

 

89. There's also a box that you can enter a direct URL into, translating to the chosen language.

 

90. Near the language tools link, you'll see the "Search Preferences". This handy page is full of secret functionality.

 

91. You can specify which languages Google returns results in, ticking as many (or few) boxes as you like.

 

92. Google's Safe Search protects you from explicit sexual content. You can choose to filter results more stringently or switch it off completely.

 

93. Google's default of 10 results a page can be increased to up to 100 in Search Preferences, too.

 

94. You can also set Google to open your search results in a new window.

 

95. Want to see what others are searching for or improve your page rank? Go to www.google.com/ zeitgeist

 

96. Another useful, experimental search can be found at www.google.com/ trends – where you can find the hottest search terms.

 

97. To compare the performance of two or more terms, enter them into the trends search box separated by commas.

 

98. Fancy searching Google in Klingon? Go to www.google.com/ intl/xx-klingon

 

99. Perhaps the Swedish chef from the muppets is your role model instead? Check www.google.com/ intl/xx-bork

 

100. Type answer to life, the universe and everything into Google. You may be surprised by the result....

 

101. It will also tell you the number of horns on a unicorn

Only for you...



 A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package.

What food might this contain?" The mouse wondered - he was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap.

Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning :
There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"

The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, "Mr.Mouse , I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me.   I cannot be bothered by it."

The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"

The pig sympathized, but  said, I am so very sorry, Mr.Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray.

Be assured you are in my prayers."    
The mouse turned to the cow and said "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"

The cow said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse. I'm sorry for you, but it's no skin off my nose."

So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer's mousetrap alone.

That very night a sound was heard throughout the house -- like the sound  of a mousetrap catching its prey.

The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught.

The snake bit the farmer's wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital , and she returned home with a fever.

Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main Ingredient.

But his wife's sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock.

To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.

The farmer's wife did not get well; she died.

So many people came for her funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them.

The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness.

So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesn't concern you, remember -- when one of us is threatened, we are all at risk.

We are all involved in this journey called life. We must keep an eye out for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another.

REMEMBER,,,,

EACH OF US IS A VITAL THREAD IN ANOTHER PERSON'S TAPESTRY;

OUR LIVES ARE WOVEN TOGETHER FOR A REASON.

One of the best things to hold onto in this world is a Friend.

U CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE TO THE INDIAN ECONOMY BY FOLLOWING FEW SIMPLE STEPS.


Please spare a couple of minutes here........for the sake of
India ... our country.


I got this article from one of my friend, but it's true, I can see this from day to day life,

Small example
Before 5 months                              1 CAN $ = IND Rs 32
After 5 months. Now it is                1 CAN $ = IND Rs 37


Do you think Canadian Economy is booming? No, but Indian Economy is Going Down.

Our Economy is in u'r hands


INDIAN economy is in a crisis. Our country like many other ASIAN countries is undergoing a severe economic crunch. Many INDIAN industries are closing down. The INDIAN economy is in a crisis and if we do not take proper steps to control those, we will be in a critical situation.

 
More than 30000 crore rupees of foreign exchange are being siphoned out of our country on products such as cosmetics, snacks, tea, beverages...etc which are grown, produced and consumed here .


A cold drink that costs only 70 / 80 paisa to produce is sold for NINE rupees, and a major chunk of profits from these are sent abroad. This is a serious drain on INDIAN economy.


"COCA COLA "and" SPRITE " belong to the same multinational company, "COCA COLA"?


Coke advertisements says ' JO CHAHO HOJAYE, COCACOLA ENJOY'

(Whatever the hell, let it happen, you drink coke)
What can you do?

You can consider some of the better alternatives to aerated drinks.
You can drink LEMON JUICE, FRESH FRUIT JUICES, CHILLED LASSI (SWEET OR SOUR), BUTTER MILK, COCONUT WATER, JALJEERA, ENERJEE, MASALA MILK..........


Everyone deserves a healthy drink, including you!
Over and above all this, economic sanctions have been imposed on us. We have nothing against Multinational companies, but to protect our own interests we request everybody to use INDIAN products only for next two years.. With the rise in petrol prices, if we do not do this, the rupee will devalue further and we will end up paying much more for the same products in the near future.


What you can do about it?

1 . Buy only products manufactured by WHOLLY INDIAN COMPANIES.
2 . ENROLL as many people as possible for this cause.


Each individual should become a leader for this awareness.

This is the only way to save our country from severe economic crisis. You don't need to give-up your lifestyle. You just need to choose an alternate product.

All categories of products are available from WHOLLY INDIAN COMPANIES.

One of the best interviews!! !

Interviewer: Tell me about yourself.

Candidate: I am Rameshwar Kulkarni. I did my Tele Communication engineering from BabanRao Dhole-Patil Institute of Technology.

Interviewer: BabanRao Dhole-Patil Institute of Technology? I had never heard of this college before!

Candidate: Great! Even I had not heard of it before getting an admission into it. What happened is - due to cricket world cup I scored badly! in 12th.I was getting a paid seat in a good college. But my father said (I prefer to call him 'baap') - "I can not invest so much of money".(The baap actually said - "I will never waste so much of money on you"). So I had to join this college. Frankly speaking this name - BabanRao Dhole-Patil, can at the most be related to a Shetakari Mahavidyalaya.

Interviewer: ok, ok. It seems you have taken 6 years to complete your engineering.

Candidate: Actually I tried my best to finish it in 4 years. But you know, these cricket matches and football world cup, and tennis tournaments. It is difficult to concentrate. So I flunked in 2nd and 3rd year. So in all I took 4 + 2 = 7 years.

Interviewer: But 4+2 is 6..

Candidate: Oh, is it? You know I always had KT in maths. But I will try to keep this in mind. 4+2 is 6, good, thanks. These cricket matches really affect exams a lot. I think they should ban it.

Interviewer: Good to know that you want cricket matches to be banned.

Candidate: No, no... I am talking about Exams!!

Interviewer: Ok, What is your biggest achievement in life?

Candidate: Obviously, completing my Engineering. My mom never thought I would complete it. In fact, when i flunked in 3rd year, she was looking for a job for me in BEST (Bus corporation in Maharashtra) through some relative.

Interviewer: Do you have any plans of higher study?

Candidate: he he he.. Are you kidding? Completing 'lower' education itself was so much of pain!!

Interviewer: Let's talk about technical stuff. On which platforms have you worked?

Candidate: Well, I work at SEEPZ, so you can say Andheri is my current platform. Earlier I was at Vashi center. So Vashi was my platform then. As you can see I have experience of different platforms! (Vashi and Andheri are the places in Mumbai)

Interviewer: And which languages have you used?

Candidate: Marathi, Hindi, English. By the way, I can keep quiet in German, French, Russian and many other languages.

Interviewer: Why VC is better than VB?

Candidate: It is a common sense - C comes after B. So VC is a higher version than VB. I heard very soon they are coming up with a new language VD!

Interviewer: Do you know anything about Assembly Language?

Candidate: Well, I have not heard of it. But I guess, this is the language our ministers and MPs use in assembly.

Interviewer: What is your general project experience?

Candidate: My general experience about projects is - most of th! e times they are in pipeline!

Interviewer: Can you tell me about your current job?

Candidate: Sure, Currently I am working for Bata InfoTech ltd. Since joining BIL, I am on Bench. Before joining BIL, I used to think that Bench was another software like Windows.

Interviewer: Do you have any project management experience?

Candidate: No, but I gues! s it shouldn't be difficult. I know Word and Excel. I can talk a lot. I know how to dial for International phone call and use speaker facility. And very important - I know few words like - 'Showstoppers ' , 'hotfixes', 'SEI-CMM','quality' ,'versioncontrol ','deadlines' , 'Customer Satisfaction' etc. Also I can blame others for my mistakes!

Interviewer: What are your expectations from our company?

Candidate: Not much.
1. I should at least get 40,000 in hand.
2. I would like to work on a live EJB project. But it should not have deadlines. I personally feel that pressure affects natural talent.
3. I believe in flexi-timings.
4. Dress code is against basic freedom, so I would like to wear t-shirt and jeans.
5. We must have sat-sun off. I will suggest Wednesday off also, so as to avoid breakdown due to overwork.
6. I would like to go abroad 3 times a year on short term preferably 1-2 months) assignments. Personally I prefer US, Australia and Europe. But considering the fact that there is a world cup in West Indies in 2007, I don't mind going there in that period. As you can see I am modest and don't have many expectations. So can I assume my selection?

Interviewer: he he he ha ha ha. Thanks for your interest in our organization. In fact I was never entertained so much before. Welcome to OUR COMPANY .. :-))
