Unconventional thinking

Some time ago I received a call from a colleague. He was about to give a student a zero for his answer to a physics question, while the student claimed a perfect score. The instructor and the student agreed to an impartial arbiter, and I was selected. I read the examination question: "SHOW HOW IT IS POSSIBLE TO DETERMINE THE HEIGHT OF A TALL BUILDING WITH THE AID OF A BAROMETER." The student had answered, "Take the barometer to the top of the building, attach a long rope to it, lower it to the street, and then bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of the rope is the height of the building." The student really had a strong case for full credit since he had really answered the question completely and correctly! On the other hand, if full credit were given, it could well contribute to a high grade in his physics course and to certify competence in physics, but the answer did not confirm this. I suggested that the student have another try. I gave the student six minutes to answer the question with the warning that the answer should show some knowledge of physics . At the end of five minutes, he had not written anything. I asked if he wished to give up, but he said he had many answers to this problem; he was just thinking of the best one . I excused myself for interrupting him and asked him to please go on. In the next minute, he dashed off his answer, which read: "Take the barometer to the top of the building and lean over the edge of the roof. Drop the barometer, timing its fall with a stopwatch. Then, using the formula H = 1/2 x a x t 2 , calculate the height of the building." At this point, I asked my colleague if he would give up. He conceded, and gave the student almost full credit. While leaving my colleague's office, I recalled that the student had said that he had other answers to the problem, so I asked him what they were. "Well," said the student, "there are many ways of getting the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer. For example, you could take the barometer out on a sunny day and measure the height of the barometer, the length of its shadow, and the length of the shadow of the building, and by the use of simple proportion, determine the height of the building." "Fine," I said, "and others?" "Yes," said the student, "there is a very basic measurement method you will like. In this method, you take the barometer and begin to walk up the stairs. As you climb the stairs, you mark off the length of the barometer along the wall. You then count the number of marks, and this will give you the height of the building in barometer units." "A very direct method." "Of course. If you want a more sophisticated method, you can tie the barometer to the end of a string, swing it as a pendulum, and determine the value of g at the street level and at the top of the building. From the difference between the two values of g, the height of the building, in principle, can be calculated." "On this same tact, you could take the barometer to the top of the building, attach a long rope to it, lower it to just above the street, and then swing it as a pendulum. You could then calculate the height of the building by the period of the precession". "Finally," he concluded, "there are many other ways of solving the problem. Probably the best," he said, "is to take the barometer to the basement and knock on the superintendent's door. When the superintendent answers, you speak to him as follows: 'Mr. Superintendent, here is a fine barometer. If you will tell me the height of the building, I will give you this barometer." At this point, I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional answer to this question. He admitted that he did, but said that he was fed up with high school and college instructors trying to teach him how to think. The student was Neil Bohr (known for quantum theory of physics & mechanics,hydrogen atom etc ) and the arbiter wasRutherford . THINK DIFFERENT!!!!

Difference between an engineer, physicist and a mathematician

An engineer, a physicist and a mathematician take a train ride through the Scottish countryside. Suddenly they see a sheep outside in a meadow.

The engineer says: "Wow, in Scotland all sheep are black!"

The physicist replies: "Not really; there is at least one black sheep in Scotland!"

The mathematician smiles and replies: "There is at least one sheep in Scotland with at least one black side."

Email or Success ??

A jobless man applied for the position of "office boy" at Microsoft.

The HR manager interviewed him then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.

"You are employed." He said." Give me your e-mail address and I'll send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start."

The man replied "But I don't have a computer, neither an email."

I'm sorry", said the HR manager, "If you don't have an email, that means you do not exist. And who doesn't exist, cannot have the job."

The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do, with only $10 in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a 10Kg tomato crate. He then sold the tomatoes in a door to door round.

In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital. He repeated the Operation three times, and returned home with $60.

The man realized that he can survive by this Way, and started to go everyday earlier, and return late Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles.

5 years later , the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the US .

He started to plan his family's future, and decided to have a life insurance.

He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan. When the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him his email. The man replied, "I don't have an email". The broker answered curiously, "You don't have an email, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an email?!!"

The man thought for a while and replied, "Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft!"


Moral of the story:

M1 - Internet is not the solution to your life.

M2 - If you don't have internet, and work hard, you can be a millionaire.

M3 - If you received this message by email, you are closer to being an office boy, than a millionaire. .........

Have a great day!!!


Pls Note: - Do not forward this email to me back, I'm closing all my email addresses & going to sell tomatoes!!!

Smiling after reading is not mandatory!!!

Digital Skin Grafting

Digital Skin Grafting



In this article we will explain the technique behind Super Star Rajini's European complexion in the film 'Sivaji - The Boss' (Style Song). The film "Sivaji The Boss" starring super star Rajinikant is the costliest film made in India to date. Directed by S.Shanker, Cinematography by K.V.Anand, Music by A.R.Rahman, Produced by A.V.M Productions and VFX supervised by Indian Artists (V.Srinivas M Mohan - VFX supervisor and T.K. JayaKumar - Partner)

Rajini is well known actor worldwide. People call him “Super Star” because of his unique style. He is the 2nd highest paid actor in Asia after Jackie chan.

In this film, director Shanker wanted to change Rajini's wheatish complexion to a white European complexion. As a visual effects company (Indian Artists) this was a challenging task for us because we guess nobody has executed this type of concept in the world. Thanks to Mr. Shanker for giving us this opportunity to execute his brilliant idea.

Technique behind Dark Skin to Fair Skin

To begin with, we (Indian artists) did an in-depth study of the European complexion. We found that white skin reflects more light and has less shadow when compared to dark skin and is translucent in some areas. Therefore a simple color correction of the hero's skin would not achieve the desired effect.

For the shoot a London based young white lady with a fresh complexion and flushed cheeks was chosen and with the help of Cinematographer Mr. K.V.Anand every single shot of the hero was repeated with her because lighting conditions change in every shot. After the final edit all the 630 hero shots and 630 girl shots were scanned in 4K resolution. Each of the 9000 scanned frames were rotoscoped to separate the body parts (face, hands, legs etc.). The white lady's skin was mapped onto the Super Star's image using Eyeon “Digital Fusion” software. Thus the Super Star got his glowing white complexion.

There were two difficult aspects in this project. One was matching the girl's action with the hero's action and the second was matching both of their body proportions during mapping.

Though it sounds simple, the work involved was laborious and painstaking. Great attention was paid to detail right from the shoot until the final print. It has taken 25 dedicated CG technicians almost a year to achieve this 6 ½ min. feat.

Want to get back to college again!!!

(Nice one written by a s/w guy just after completing his one year in IT industry)

I would like to express my transition from real freedom to assumed freedom. I am here talking about my transition from my college to the booming IT industry. I would like to pour my one year experience of the so called glamorous and fun filled IT industry.


We used to wander those spacious heat filled open grounds and dirty class rooms with just 50Rs. in pocket and plan the whole week with that budget. But now we wander along the well cleaned, fully air-conditioned corridors with about five to six credit cards in our pocket planning where to swipe the cards. Credit cards eagerly waiting to eat next month's salary. I can't believe that it was just one year before that the 50Rs. seemed to be lacks now, lacks seems to be nothing.



College canteen, Tea shops were the favorite hot spots where we spent hours together, having a hearty chat with our buddies forgetting the whole world. But now Cafe Day, Quickies, Baristas have taken those places. What a coffee cost 2.5Rs last year has now gone up to 50Rs a cup.



Those precious days where we used to laugh for nothing, while chatting or while playing or even when you fail in your paper because you have got 30 marks for a empty paper. But now you rarely smile except the smile for the forward you just received or the smile to your PM to impress him.



Hate ness and Ego were the words you haven't heard in those days. You smash or hit your friend for some reason and the next moment you walk along him with hands on his shoulders. But now you doesn't like the guy sitting beside you because he's getting a salary 10k greater that you or he's always being appreciated by your PM. True friends are hard to find here



In college if some one is talking badly about your college you can find your blood boiling inside even though you don't like your principal. But here loyalty is the lost word, whenever someone is talking badly about your company you join them to criticize your company. You join the company with the resignation day in the mind, is this loyalty. Don't mind I have also planned my resignation date.



You have seen the late nights only on the eve of the exam, where you rely on your friend to wake him/ her at night 1 or 2. And how can we forget those last minute tensions in exam, you remember that only just before entering the exam you find that you have forgotten to revise a important question that your friend suggested that it will surely appear on this exam. You rush back and flip those Xeroxed pages with tension. But today you work at least 2 days a week till 1 or 2 in the night to deliver something to your unknown client who is at US or UK. You are aimlessly typing at the useless word document that your PM asked you to finish with his tailor made smile. Loads of tension with calls from home, with your eye lids eager to kiss each other and you promise them to allow it a little later, cursing Bill Gates for inventing MSWord.



Writing all these to celebrate my first anniversary at this field. It seems I have been in my own desert where I have realized that I am moving from the warmth ness of the Oasis to chase a mirage. A mirage that promises a lot of thing, but still its just a mirage. When I turn back I can find thousands chasing that mirage with a ID card around their neck. I wish all the best for them.

Want to be a Lion or a Monkey

In a poor zoo of India, a lion was frustrated as he was offered not
more
than 1 kg meat a day.

The lion thought its prayers were answered when one US Zoo Manager
Visited the zoo and requested the zoo management to shift the lion to
the
US
Zoo.

The lion was so happy and started thinking of a central A/c
environment,
A Goat or two every day and a US Green Card also.

On its first day after arrival, the lion was offered a big bag, sealed
Very Nicely for breakfast.

The lion opened it quickly but was shocked to see that it contained
few
Bananas.

Then the lion thought that may be they cared too much for him as they
Were worried about his stomach as he had recently shifted from India .


The next day the same thing happened. On the third day again the same
Food
Bag of bananas was delivered.

The lion was so furious, it stopped the delivery boy and blasted at
him,
'Don't you know I am the lion...king of the Jungle..., what's wrong
with
Your management?, what nonsense is this?, why are you delivering
bananas
to
Me?'

The delivery boy politely said, 'Sir, I know you are the king of the
Jungle But... Did you know that you have been brought here on a
monkey's
Visa!!!

Moral of the story: Better to be a Lion in India than a Monkey
elsewhere!

Five Finger Prayer

This is so neat. I had never heard this before. This is beautiful - and it is surely worth making the 5 finger prayer a part of our lives.

1. Your thumb is nearest you. So begin your prayers by praying for those closest to you. They are the easiest to remember. To pray for our loved ones is, as C. S. Lewis once said, a "sweet duty."

2. The next finger is the pointing finger. Pray for those who teach, instruct and heal. This includes teachers, doctors, and ministers. They need support and wisdom in pointing others in the right direction. Keep them in your prayers.

3. The next finger is the tallest finger. It reminds us of our leaders. Pray for the president, leaders in business and industry, and administrators. These people shape our nation and guide public opinion. They need God's guidance.

4. The fourth finger is our ring finger. Surprising to many is the fact that this is our weakest finger, as any piano teacher will testify. It should remind us to pray for those who are weak, in trouble or in pain. They need your prayers day and night. You cannot pray too much for them.

5. And lastly comes our little finger - the smallest finger of all which is where we should place ourselves in relation to God and others. As the Bible says, "The least shall be the greatest among you." Your pinkie should remind you to pray for yourself. By the time you have prayed for the other four groups, your own needs will be put into proper perspective and you will be able to pray for yourself more effectively.

Priest who couldn't lie...but still got away with it

A distinguished young woman on a flight from Switzerland asked the priest beside her, Father, may I ask a favour?

Of course, what may I do for you? Well, I bought an expensive woman's electronic hair dryer for my mother's birthday that is unopened and well over the Custom's limits, and I'm afraid they'll confiscate it. Is there any way you could carry it through Customs for me? Under your robes perhaps?

I would love to help you, dear, but I must warn you: I will not lie.

With your honest face, Father, no one will question you.

When they got to Customs, she let the priest go ahead of her.

The official asked, Father, do you have anything to declare?

From the top of my head down to my waist, I have nothing to declare.

The official thought this answer strange, so asked, And what do you have to declare from your waist to the floor?

I have a marvelous instrument designed to be used on a woman, but which is, to date, unused.

Roaring with laughter, the official said, Go ahead, Father. Next

Fax from God

To: YOU
Date: TODAY
From: GOD
Subject:YOURSELF
Reference: LIFE

This is God.Today I will be handling All of your problems for you. I do Not need your help. So, have a nice day.

I love you.

P.S.

And, remember...

If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do Not attempt to resolve it yourself !! Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. I will get to it in MY TIME. All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours.




Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now.




If you find yourself stuck in traffic, don't despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.





Should you have a bad day at work; Think of the man who has been out of work for years.





Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; Think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.





Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; Think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.





Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.





Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror; Think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.





Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.





Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities; Remember, things could be worse. You could be one of them!





Should you decide to send this to a friend; Thank you, you may have touched their life in ways you will never know!

Now, you have a nice day,

God

Beware of IT Profession

Six software professionals under the age of 33 have died and 2 top executives from renowned software companies have become paralyzed because of stress-related heart ailments in the last six months in Chennai, says a study by Mitran Foundation, a Bangalore-based voluntary association of practising doctors.

"All the six who died, and the two who became invalid, had no family history of heart attacks or any pre-history of heart ailments or paralysis. They were all in their prime, between 27 and 33 years, and handled challenging projects at work in their respective companies. They worked long and continuous hours. The end struck them very suddenly, and it looked as if their hearts refused to take any more stress," said Dr Dwarakanath, director of Mitran Foundation, who has studied stress components in 40 software companies in Chennai during the last six months.

The study, conducted at a cost of Rs 45 lakhs, covered more than 4,000 software professionals from 80 companies who were in service for a minimum of three years. The email responses were scientifically tabulated and the findings were ready in 2002. Dr Dwarakanath, who was the late Dhirubhai Ambani's personal stress management consultant, said questionnaires extracting every minute detail were sent to the respondents. The personal background, family history and personal characteristics of these individuals were assessed and it was found that the stress in these professionals was only due to work pressure. All other factors were eliminated.

"Our study confirmed that the number of suicides, divorces, heart ailments, BP and diabetes patients and mental depression are the highest in the software industry. The fancy salaries of software professionals are no longer something to rejoice about," Dr Dwarakanath said.
"We found that the software industry has simply no routine. Deadlines hang before them and every day they chase new problems. During weekends more than 60 per cent of the vehicles are found parked in the office complexes. There is no physical exercise and new food habits favoured by pizza culture fuel the problem. Cervical spondilitis and wrist problems due to uncomfortable handling of the computer mouse, eye problems and discomfort in bowel movements are common.
The stress for couples where both are employed in the IT industry is the worst. The simple step of taking time off from work for three months allowed an IT couple wanting a child for years to conceive one," Dr Dwarakanath said.

M.T.R. Venukopalan, senior training coordinator, Covansys India, acknowledged that IT professionals were the most stressed individuals. "Even if the company sponsors a movie or self-care lecture, not many attend them," he said. Jyothsana, a travel coordinator for Temenos India Pvt Ltd, expressed concern for the young employees who complain of back and knee pains. She acknowledged that IT professionals require a specific eating and physical exercise routine to ease their stress. "Our lives are becoming mechanical, guided only by deadlines," she said.



So think again if you are staying late in the office regularly. Think again about your family. Think again about your social life and health.

Stop Shopping Month!!.......if u r really concerned.........

I got the below forward… Seems very true.
This is really true. Prices that have gone high because of us should come down because of us...... at least to reduce inflation.
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- -

No Sathyam Cinemas, No coffee day, No Barista, No Anjepar hotel, No Ponnusamy hotel, No Mayajaal... (You know where to go and where not to go after reading this mail...) between 16-Nov-2007 and 15-Dec-2007. It’s not just a forward. How many of you are ready to follow this? ------------ -

(below email 'Save the IT People from Debts' was wonderful and we should go through it and also forward to all our friends)

Real Estate price hike is known open robbery from IT guys by brokers / whoever it is and it's not only Flats / Real Estate, IT guys undergo open robbery from all rich shop owners / a person who wanted to become rich as fast as possible...
The salary whatever we get, it's our hard-earned money, most of the times sitting in the night, away from family functions, friends, etc...but all our money or most of the money are going to someone who just takes advantage of our stressful life (both mentally and physically) and our new western life style.
I do not find anything wrong in having a US / UK life style, but many open thieves (starting from Ministers to our local Restaurant owner) just swindling all our 'legal money' and as we do not have any other choice becoming poor / debtor day by day.
Well most of the price hikes are just unbelievable and there is absolutely no justification (few examples given below).
Chicken Biriyani (Karaikudi 3 weeks back) - Rs. 65
Today (since last 2 weeks) same Karaikudi Chicken Biriyani (believe me, there is absolutely no change) - Rs. 78, there is no justification for such a big increase.
Pop Corn (Sathyam Complex) previously (month and half back) - Rs. 20
Today (almost the same quantity) - Rs. 30 (again, i do not find any justification)
Corn in Garuda Mall previously (month back) - Rs20 Small, Rs 30 Medium and Rs 40 High
Now, No 'actual' small and real small has become 35 now and 45 for high... [Are they the farmers who have given their blood to grow this ]
(In Sathyam complex, many price hikes are really too much for no reason...)
Chips packet (Gangotree) previously (three months back) - Rs. 15
Since last two Months the same packet costs - Rs. 20 (again, I do not find any justification)
Room Clean (just once) - Rs. 200, that's bcos they cleaned IT guys room.
(The moment you say that you are from Software company, the price automatically increases... )
We guys already pays big taxes from our salaries and goes on paying other taxes too (starting from Hotel Sangeetha 'Vadai' to Scotch in a bar), it's time to think and pledge ourselves that we stop spending just for one month...
Reason(s) why we should stop spending alteast for a month:
1. 70% of the IT guys occupies the restaurants.
2. 80-90% of the IT guys goes to coffee shop, hang around places, bakeries, etc.
3. Most of the IT guys goes to Sathyam complex, Movies
If we stop going / spending just for a month, their business automatically goes down and they would have no other choice except to bring down the price, that's what happened when IT industry was down three years back.
Somehow directly or indirectly we are responsible for this unjust price hike and now, only we could prevent this open robberies, please add your comments or experiences and keep forwarding this email to all your known people, I am sure even if 25% of us realizes and acts accordingly, it could and would make lot of difference to us.
(let's try and prevent unjust price hike)
Save the IT People from Debts
* Property market in Year 2001 -2004 was quiet Ok , People were able to buy Flats in reasonable rates .
*Year 2005 -2006 , Some of the well known builders started the rates boom , flat which was at the cost of Rs.900 Sq Ft now became 2200 to 2800
Q: Are there any additional facilities ?
--> No Same Scheme/Area , Flat sold at 10 Lacks Now selling at 25 Lacks .
Q: Why Property increased so High ?
--> IT people competition to buy sweet home ..
Q: Who is going to Benfit from this Property Boom ?
--> Only Builders and some of the Politicians
Q: How is the Bank's support on Home Loans ?
--> Last Year , Bank gave the loan's at flexible mimimum rate,Now Banks has sufficient number of customers ,
(Trap) Slowly Banker's increasing interst at % 0.5 every month .
IT People Who bought house for 22 Lacks for 20 Yrs , Now became 23 Yrs with raise of 0.5 %
Q. How some IT people can face the problems in Future ?
--> Companies are Project Based , If Projects are not there then People will not be there .
Q. IT salaries are high in Market , How much actually IT-people getting in Hand ?
--> People, Who bought house of 22 Lacks to 40 Lacks They need to pay EMI
15,000 to 35,000 for 20 Yrs. If Bank keeps same interst rates .
Suppose Salary is 35- 40 K Per Month, 20K will be the EmI
Q. Is there any 'Terms & Condition or Processes to increase rates' ?
--> No , Depends on Buiders Greediness . Every builder follows the different strategies
Builder sold one flat 1500 Per Sqft in Morning and 1800 Per Sqft in the Evening ,
There are no records maitained ..
Q. Who made builders smart & greedy ?
--> Greedy IT people ..
No body is asking , Flat was sold at 12 Lacks , Why now 24 Lacks ?
Q. Is Corporation water & MESB available to all schemes ?
--> Some of the area don't have the Corporation water at all , People surviving on Water Tankers.
** MESB .. Under Table ,can be managed easily .
Q. What will be the condition If We are not able to Clear the Loan ?
--> Depends on individual capabilities
Q. What wiil be the actual 'area of living' or carpet area if the builder proposes 1000 sft?
....> The actual carpet area will be 800-850 sft only. The common area is also included in the proposal.
If two flats are in the same floor, then the builder cheats both the residents by collecting
How do Builders cheat buyers? ... Let us see with a simple example
Builder XXXX proposes a flat in a decent residential area.
Rate ( Unit Price ) - Rs. 3500 sft.
Registration - Rs. 40 per sft.
EB and drainage - Rs. 50,000
Covered Car park - Rs. 1,25,000
Corpus fund - Rs. 50000.
For a 1000 sft flat ( 850 sft carpet area ), the approximate cost will be Rs.37,65,000. In the same plot area ( measuring 2 grounds) the builder would have constructed 8 or 10 flats.
Let us see how a builder earns his profit
Total sales for the builder - 37, 65,000 *10 = 3, 76, 50000 ( 3.76 crores)
Cost of the land - Rs. 40 laks per ground
1) Total cost of the land - 80 lakhs for two ground ------- A
Total builtup area for 10 flats - 10*1000 sft = 10,000 sft
Construction cost per sft ( for normal specification) = Rs. 900 per sft
2) Total construction cost - 10,000 * 900 = Rs. 90,00,000 ------------ -- B
3) Other expenses for the builder - Rs. 20 per sft = Rs. 2,00,000 ............ ..... C
Total expenses for the builder = A+ B+C
= Rs. 80,00,000 + Rs.90,00,000 + Rs. 2,00,00
= Rs. 1,72,00,000 ( 1.72 crores approx)
Total Sales = Rs. 3.76 crores - Rs. 1.72 crores
Total profit of the builder = Rs. 2.04 crores.
Let us see the share of each resident
1. Cost of land = Divided share among the other 10 residents
= Rs. 80,00,000 / 10
= Rs. 8,00,000
2. Construction cost = Rs. 900 * 1000
= Rs. 9,00,000
3. Other expenses = Rs. 2,00,000 ( approx)
Total = Rs. 19,00,000 ( Nineteen lakhs)
The total share for each resident is Rs. 19,00,000 ( Nineteen lakhs only )
but he pays Rs. 37.5 laks for the flat.
Q. How We can stop Builders -Property Boom ?
1) IT People should think about buying flats for atleast next 1-2 Yrs .
2) Onces rates are reasonable , With some legal process get the Booking .
3) Check Facilities, Convince, Road Approach, schools & Mainly co-operation water
4) Ask Questions If I buy 1/2 BHK at 12 to 30 Lacks , Do I get reasale value in future?
5) Today you are capable for paying 1000 -3000 maintains per month ? Will will be the same case
after 20-30yrs after retirement .
6) In All, Don't stretch more to get the more & more loans other wise it will create unnecessary
pressure and tension ..
7) Read the above mentioned calculation carefully, when you are about to buy a flat pls keep this in mind.

Please read this carefully * Send it to all you know * Act quickly * Save them from debts.
We can stop the inflation.

They will find us

Rajiv and Mona are flying to Australia for a two-week vacation to celebrate their 40th anniversary. Suddenly, over the public address system, the Captain announces, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am afraid I have some very bad news. Our engines have ceased functioning and we will attempt an emergency landing.

Luckily, I see an uncharted island below us and we should be able to land on the beach. However, the odds are that we may never be rescued and will have to live on the island for the rest of our lives!"

Thanks to the skill of the flight crew, the plane lands safely on the island. An hour later Rajiv turns to his wife and asks, "Mona, did we pay our Rs.5 lakh deposit cheque yet to ICICI Bank?"

"No, sweetheart," she responds.

Rajiv, still shaken from the crash landing, then asks, "Mona, did we pay our ICICI Bank Master card yet?"

"Oh no! I'm sorry. I forgot to send the cheque," she says.

"One last thing, Mona. Did you remember to send cheques for the auto loan to them too this month?" he asks.

"Oh, forgive me, Rajiv," begged Mona. "I didn't send that one, either."

Rajiv grabs her and gives her the biggest hug in 40 years. Mona pulls away and asks him, "So, why did you hug me?"

Quick Change Artists- AMAZING !

This video is from a TV show where people said, "Hey, I have talent!"
and judges would decide if they did or did not. When this couple did
their act, there was no question. Everyone was floored. The video
is about two minutes and includes some snappy music. Also, it will
look much clearer if you don't run it full screen. The bigger the
picture the fuzzier it will look. They put on an incredible act.

Black google-BLACKLE

From today onwards, please use www.blackle.com instead of www.google.com and help to save millions in terms of energy.

Read the forwarded message below.

Forward this mail to as many friends of yours as possible.

Hi friends,

A few months ago, TreeHugger Mark Ontkush wrote a post on his blog EcoIron titled 'Black Google Would Save 750 Megawatt-hours a Year'. The post lays out the following train of thought. "An all white web page uses about 74 watts to display, while an all black page uses only 59 watts." Google, which has a white background and gets about "200 million queries a day" could reduce global energy use by 750 Megawatt-hours a year by simply changing the color of its homepage to black. (For more detailed calculations and assumptions check out the original post here.)

In response to this post a black version of Google emerged called Blackle.com. According to Blackle's homepage at publication time, 4,408.917 Watt hours have been saved by. The site encourages users to "make a difference today [by] … Blackling "energy saving tips" or visit[ing] treehugger.com a great blog dedicated to environmental awareness." Nice ideas. But how does the search measure up? Very well indeed. Give it a whirl yourself and start saving energy one search at a time.

Attitude is Everything

An old man lived alone in Minnesota. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work.

His only son, who would have helped him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his situation:

Dear Son,

I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year. I hate to misdoing the garden, because your mother always loved planting time. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over.
I know you would dig the plot, for me if you weren't in the prison.

Love,
Dad

Shortly, the old man received this telegram:

"For Heaven's sake, Dad, don't dig up the garden !!That's where I buried the GUNS!!"


At 4 a.m.the next morning, a dozen FBI agents and local police officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any guns.
Confused,the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what happened and asked him what to do next.

His son's reply was:

"Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad It's the best I could do for you from here."

NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN THE WORLD, IF YOU HAVE DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING DEEP FROM YOUR HEART, YOU CAN DO IT,. IT IS THE THOUGHT THAT MATTERS NOT WHERE YOU ARE.

Don't give me nine wives and one month

We always face situations where boss says to complete the work in no time.... take extra resources if you want..... maybe this reply can help in those situations....


It was a hot meeting at the office conference hall. All the people from the department had been called. The VP was looking much tensed.

The mood was so bad. My friend asked me -"Hey, what is this meeting all about? I told - May be they will decide on when to have the next meeting. People around smiled at each other. Then the VP started talking. It was about the recent attrition rate that was so high. Around 10 people had put in their papers. All experienced guys. It was quarter end and so work was huge. If we do not complete the work on time, we need to be paying heavy penalty said the VP. The VP turned to the manager and told "Hey - take how much ever resources you want. Recruit or take them from other departments. But complete the work in another 25 days. Take people and complete it man.

To this the sweet manager replied "Sir! Give me one wife and nine months and I shall show you results. Don't give me nine wives and one month. I cannot do anything." Everyone looked at him blank. The VP was not prepared for this answer. We looked at the manager and thought "What an Awesome Reply man!"

Marketing concepts explained easily - Professor at IIMs

1. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: "I am very rich. "Marry me!" - That's Direct Marketing"

2. You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl. One of your friends goes up to her and pointing at you says: "He's very rich. "Marry him." -That's Advertising"

3. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and get her telephone number. The next day, you call and say: "Hi, I'm very rich. "Marry me - That's Telemarketing"

4. You're at a party and see gorgeous girl. You get up and straighten your tie, you walk up to her and pour her a drink, you open the door (of the car) for her, pick up her bag after she drops it, offer her ride and then say: "By the way, I'm rich. Will you "Marry Me?" - That's Public Relations
