We started the year as just simple friends.
We have become so much more since then.
Who could have known it would progress so much.
Who could have guessed it would get this serious.

We've been through a lot this year, both good and bad.
Together we've made it through the bad times.
Together we've cherished the good moments.
Even through the bad times I was always glad we met,
never regretting getting to know you better.

Even though people began to talk,
spreading their secrets and rumors about us.
We got through it all,
and we've come out on top.

You're very special,
You mean so much to me.
I hope you understand that no
matter what happens I'll never forget you.

You're always there for me,
and I will always be there for you.
You've always been there to listen to me,
to share your advice and your caring words.

I know I can always count on you
to be there when I need you the most.
Together we've laughed, supported, encouraged,
comforted and cared for each other throughout the year.

No one knows what the future holds for us,
but I do know that no matter what
happens between us you shall remain forever
your one of my best and greatest friends I ever had
& thanks for being my good friend . . .

It's End of the Year . . .

Through all the good times & bad times you wanted to see me happy & never sad,
I found you much to late & you left so soon,
I still remember the day we met & that is something
I'll never forget,
Of all the things I've ever known,
You taught me something I value most,
You taught me how to love the ones who mean so much to me,
You showed me how to appriciate who I am & all the important things in life,
You listened to me & actually cared,
About all the stupid things I had to say,
You were there for me all the way,
And when someone hurt me & gave me pain,
You taught me how to play the game,
You told me friends will change,
They wont always stay the same,
But I shouldn't act as if it's crime,
These things happen over time,
Your weakness was my best friend,
So when your relationship came to an end,
Thats when our friendship began to fall apart,
That just totally broke my heart,
beacause I really missed kickin back with you,
I can't believe that all it took was just one shot, & you were gone,
Now I must learn to carry on,
But the memory of you will always be deep inside of me,
Now I must be strong for to cry a tear is weak,
I must stand on my two feet,
I just want you to know that no matter what I do or where I go,
I'll always remember you,
Cause deep down in my heart we will never part,
Hand in hand until the end,
Even if we weren't lovers,
We were still good friends . . .

I Will Remember You . . .

Would my voice cause you to tremble,
If I called you now ?

Would there be a stony silence,
If I called you now ?

Would you recognize my voice,
If I called you now ?

Would a smile adorn your face,
If I called you now ?

Would you know the pain I feel,
If I called you now ?

Would I make you laugh,
If I called you now ?

Would tears streak your face,
If I called you now ?

Would you say you love me,
If I called you now ?

Would you damn my soul to Hell,
If I called you now ?

Would it matter tomorrow,
If I called you now ?

Would it change my life,
If I called you now ?

Would you hang up the phone,
If I called you now . . . ?

She said she would be a true friend,
Not till now but for all the years ahead.
I could count on her without any doubt,
As she would be there to help me out.
She assured to give me her full support,
When I would need it the most.
She promised to always be my lucky guide,
When I would sometimes forget which way to ride.
All the troubles that would come my way,
She would be there to toss them away.
When ever we would have a fight,
I know she would be the one to let it slide,
She was the One, so sweet funny & kind
Whom I, definitely can never leave behind
But Why Did she Leave me Behind?
This i cannt understand
Was She wrong or I
Is this the Value of the Promises?
Is the Worth Of the Words?
Is this the meaning of Friendship. . .?

A Girl & a Boy were on a motorcycle, speeding through the night. They loved each other a lot . . .

Girl : "slow down a little.. I'm scared.."
Boy : "No, it's so fun.."
Girl : "please.. it's so scary.."
Boy : "Then say that you love me.."
Girl : "Fine.. I love you.. can you slow down now?"
Boy : "Give me a big hug.."

The girl gave him a big hug.

Girl : "Now can you slow down?"
Boy : "Can you take off my helmet and put it on..? It's uncomfortable & its bothering me while i drive.."

The next day, there was a story in the newspaper.

"A motorcycle had crashed into a building because its brakes were broken. & There were 2 people on the motorcycle, of which 1 died, & the other had survived... "

The guy knew that the brakes were broken. But, he didn't want to let the Girl to know, because he knew that the girl would have gotten scared. Instead, He was told the last time that she loved him, got a hug from her, put his helmet on her so that she can live, and died himself . . .

Sitting by the telephone, yearning for your call - to hear you speak,
Thought I saw you walk through that corridor,
As I neared - the images got distant and bleak,

Promised myself - won't keep thinking about you,
But couldn't help the heart's outburst - which kept echoing I MISS YOU . . .

I know my existence means nothing to you,
You may have not loved me for a moment - no qualm or complain,
Though accepting this truth does cause a lot of pain,

You will never know the emotions that flow when I happen to catch a glimpse of you,
They are the treasured moments that make me happy when I'm feeling blue.
My love for you grows stronger as time goes by,

For you, I could go till the ends of the earth and even vie.
I MISS YOU so much - I could just cry,
Fond memories of you are all I have - to take me through this agony and sigh . . .

Wish U Were Here . . .

To a special friend
who captured my heart
just when i lost everything
and was about to fall apart

Everytime a problem comes along,
it seems your always there.
I never would have made it,
without the friendship we share.

I miss you so much
more and more everyday
we dont even talk anymore
since this job took you away

But i will hold on
to the friendship that we have
because you are a special friend.

I never stopped to realize
How lonely I would be
I never thought the day would come
When you'd grow tired of me

Your voice was never sweeter
Than the day you said goodbye
You'll never know how much it hurt
Because I'm too big to cry

If I knew then what I know now
You'd still be kissing me
Instead there's someone else's lips
Where mine used to be

I say hello and wish you well
Each time I pass you by
But you'll never know how much it hurt
Because I'm too big to cry

You never looked so wonderful
As the day you walked away
I used to say, "I love you"
But that I could not say

I can't forget you darlin'
No matter how much I try
You'll never know how much it hurt
Because I'm too big to cry . . .

What would U do if every time U fell in love U had to say good-bye?

What would U do if every time U wanted someone & they would never be there?

What would U do if your best friend died tomorrow & U never got to tell him how U felt?

What would U do if U loved someone more than ever & U couldn't have him or her?

What would U do if U never got the chance to say I am friends with all of my family & they know I love them?

Some people love, & some people die. But, I want to tell U that U are a friend. If something happened to me tomorrow, U would be in my heart. Would I be in yours?

I miss your smile I miss your laugh,
I miss your warm and tender touch,
I miss every thing about you,
Because I love you so, so much.
You are my heart and my soul,
You are so much a part of me,
So with you up there and me down here,
It’s the hardest way to be.
We belong together,
We always have its true
So being with out you hurts so much,
Because there is no one for me but you
You probably think its silly that I am missing you already
But lying with you is where I want to be,
not lying with your teddies.

My dear Jagjit,

I am in a well here & hoping U are also in a well there. I'm writing this letter slowly, because I know U cannot read fast.

We don't live where we did when U left home. Your dad read in the newspaper that most accidents happen 20 miles from home, so we moved 20miles.

I won't be able to send the address as the last Sardar who stayed here took the house numbers with them for their new house so they would not have to change their address. Hopefully by next week we will be able to take our earlier address plate here, & that our address will remain same too.

This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine, situated right above the toilet I'm not sure it works too well. Last week I put in 3 shirts, pulled the chain & haven't seen them since.

The weather here isn't too bad. It rained only twice last week. The first time it rained for 3 days & second time for 4 days.

The coat U wanted me to send you, your Aunt said it would be a little too heavy to send in the mail with all the metal buttons, so we cut them off & put them in the pocket.

Your father has another job. He has 500 men under him. He is cutting the grass at the cemetery.

By the way I took Bahu to our club's poolside. The manager is Badmash. He told her that two piece swimming suit is not allowed in his club. We were confused as to which piece should we remove?

Your sister had a baby this morning. I haven't found out whether it is a girl or a boy, so I don't know whether U are an Aunt or Uncle.

Your uncle, Jetinder fell in the nearby well. Some men tried to pull him out, but he fought them off bravely & drowned. We cremated him & he burned for three days.

There isn't much more news this time. Nothing much has happened.

Love - Mom.

P.S. Jagjit, I was going to send U some money but by the time I realized, I had already sealed off this letter.

A couple was celebrating their golden wedding anniversary. Their domestic tranquility had long been the talk of the town. What a peaceful & loving couple". A local newspaper reporter was inquiring as to the secret of their long & happy marriage.

"Well, it dates back to our honeymoon," explained the man. "We visited the Grand Canyon & took a trip down to the bottom on the canyon by horse. We hadn't gone too far when my wife's horse stumbled. My wife quietly said, 'that's once'." We proceeded a little further & the horse stumbled again. Once more my wife quietly said, 'That's twice.' "We hadn't gone a half-mile when the horse stumbled the third time. My wife quietly removed a revolver from her purse & shot the horse dead. "I started an angry protest over her treatment of the horse, while I was shouting, she looked at me, & quietly said, 'That's once'. "And we lived happily ever after."

Untold secrets of married life

01. An F1 car is made up of 80,000 components, if it were assembled 99.9% correctly, it would still start the race with 80 things wrong!

02. Formula 1 cars have over a kilometre of cable, linked to about 100 sensors & actuators which monitor & control many parts of the car.

03. An F1 car can go from 0 to 160kph & back to 0 in FOUR seconds!!!!!!!

04. F1 car engines last only for about 2 hours of racing mostly before blowing up on the other hand we expect our engines to last us for a decent 20yrs on an average & they quite faithfully Do.... thats the extent to which the engines r pushed to perform.

05. When an F1 driver hits the brakes on his car he experiences retardation or deceleration comparable to a regular car driving through a BRICK wall at 300kmph !!!

06. An average F1 driver looses about 4kgs of weight after just one race due to the prolonged exposure to high G forces & temperatures for little over an hour (Yeah thats right!!!)

07. At 550kg a F1 car is less than half the weight of a Mini.

08. In an F1 car the engine typically revs upto 18000 rpm, (the piston travelling up & down 300 times a second!!) wheres cars like the palio, maruti 800,indica rev only upto 6000 rpm at max. Thats 3 times slower.

09. The brake discs in an F1 car have an operating temperature of approx 1000 degees Centigrade & they attain that temp while braking before almost every turn...that is why they r not made of steel but of carbon fibre which is much more harder & resistant to wear & tear & most of all has a higher melting point.

10. If a water hose were to blow off, the complete cooling system would empty in just over a second.

11. Gear cogs or ratios are used only for one race, & are replaced regularly to prevent failure, as they are subjected to very high degrees of stress.

12. The fit in the cockpit is so tight that the steering wheel must be removed for the driver to get in or out of the car. A small latch behind the wheel releases it from the column. Levers or paddles for changing gear are located on the back of the wheel. So no gearstick! The clutch levers are also on the steering wheel, located below the gear paddles.

13. To give you an idea of just how important aerodynamic design & added downforce can be, small planes can take off at slower speeds than F1 cars travel on the track.

14. Without aerodynamic downforce, high-performance racing cars have sufficient power to produce wheel spin & loss of control at 160kph. They usually race at over 300 kph.

15. The amount of aerodynamic downforce produced by the front & rear wings & the car underbody is amazing. Once the car is travelling over 160kph, an F1 car can generate enough downforce to equal it's own weight. That means it could actually hold itself to the CEILING of a tunnel & drive UPSIDE down!

16. In a street course race like the monaco grand prix, the downforce provides enough suction to lift manhole covers. Before the race all of the manhole covers on the streets have to be welded down to prevent this from happening!

17. The refuelers used in F1 can supply 12 litres of fuel per second. This means it would take just 4 seconds to fill the tank of an average 50 litre family car. They use the same refueling rigs used on US military helicopters today.

18. TOP F1 pit crews can refuel & change tyres in around 3 seconds. & 8 sec to read above point.

19. Race car tyres don't have air in them like normal car tyres. Most racing tyres have nitrogen in the tyres because nitrogen has a more consistent pressure compared to normal air. Air typically contains varying amounts of water vapour in it, which affects its expansion & contraction as a function of temperature, making the tyre pressure unpredictable.

20. During the race the tyres lose weight! Each tyre loses about 0.5kg in weight due to wear.

21. Normal tyres last 60 000 - 100 000km. Racing tyres are designed to last 90-120km (That's Khandala & back).

22. A dry-weather F1 tyre reaches peak operating performance (best grip) when tread temperature is between 900C & 1200C. (Water boils boils at 100C remember) At top speed, F1 tyres rotate 50 times a sec.

A little boy wanted Rs.50 very badly & prayed for weeks, but nothing happened. Finally he decided to write God a letter requesting the Rs.50.

When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to God, India, they decided to forward it to the Finance Minister of India as a joke.

The Finance Minister was so amused, that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy Rs.20. The Finance Minister thought this would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy, & he did not want to spoil the kid.

The little boy was delighted with Rs.20, & decided to write a thank you note to God, which read:

"Dear God: Thank you very much for sending the money. However, I noticed that you sent it through the Finance Minister in Delhi, & those donkeys deducted Rs.30 in taxes..."

Baghban: Amitabh Bachchan & Hema Malini are separated right after Holi (remember Amitabh singing Holi khele Raghubeera?). They are said to be separated for six months, ie. from March to Sept. Within that six-month period, they celebrate Valentine's Day, which falls on Feb. 14, & karva chauth, which is usually observed in Oct. There is no way these two occasions could come between March & Sept.!

Lagaan: Lagaan was shot in the late 19th century. At that time, an over in cricket used to consist of 8 balls. But in this movie, an over has 6 balls. Maybe modern cricket learnt from the movie.

Amar Akbar Anthony: Three men donate blood at the same time to the same person.

Awwal Number: Dev Anand is an omnipotent genius former cricketer, captain, army chief, commissioner, you name it. & Aamir Khan carries a huge transistor in his pocket while batting!

Khalnayak: The police tracks the villain from an MS Word Document screen! (something that office team will be interested in).

Pyar Tho Hona Hi Tha: Kajol gets off the train to use the public toilet at the railway station & the train chugs off without her. Poor girl, little did she know that every train compartment has four toilets inside.

Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi: Akshay Kumar boards a Jet Airways flight to America. Well, well, some promotion for our Jet Airways, who are yet to get the US clearances to fly to that country.

Raja Hindustani: Navneet Nishan has short hair before marriage. After tying the knot, she acquires waist-length hair overnight. What a hair-raising experience!

Raja: Dilip Tahil empties a can of petrol over Madhuri Dixit. Minutes later, Sanjay Kapoor takes the same can & pours it over Dilip Tahil. That's what I call an auto-refill !

Guddu: Manisha Koirala & Shah Rukh are seen hanging on a parachute during a song. But when the song ends, they land on a glider. What a switch above sea level !

What is lifetime validity?
Lifetime prepaid means that your cell-phone connection remains valid for life. You also get a minimal talktime, ranging from Rs 10 to Rs 100 (See: Lifetime offer). The good part is that all subsequent recharges give you full talktime. There will be no processing charges, something that is a big turn-off for prepaid customers. For instance, out of the Rs 335 an Airtel prepaid customer in Delhi pays to recharge his connection for 30 days, Rs 150 go into processing fees. Another Rs 31 go to the government as tax & he gets airtime worth only Rs 154. If he takes the lifetime validity offer, the same Rs 335 recharge will give him talktime worth Rs 302 — & that's for life. By saving on the Rs 150 processing fee, he will recover the one-time charge of Rs 990 for lifetime validity in six-seven months.

K. SRINIVAS
CEO, Airtel (Delhi)
Lifetime offer opens up new segments of the population who could not afford to go mobile earlier All this may sound great but lifetime validity is not exactly the best thing that happened to prepaid. For one, the call charges are higher than the normal prepaid rates. A local call from an Airtel prepaid connection to another Airtel number is charged at Re 1 per minute while other local calls cost Rs 2 per minute. In lifetime validity, the rate is a flat Rs 2 for all local calls. Then again, an STD call to another Airtel number is for Rs 2 a minute & around Rs 3 to other networks. But lifetime connections are charged a flat rate of Rs 3 per minute. You don't get the normal discount.

There's more bad news in store. The lifetime offer cannot be combined with any other discount scheme. This is a major drawback. Service providers offer discounted rates for a small one-time fee. By paying just Rs 25 a month, Hutch customers can get a discounted rate of 99 paise per minute to all local mobiles. By paying Rs 75 a month, all local calls & SMSs to local Hutch phones are charged 49 paise a minute while all other local calls are charged 99 paise a minute. Another plan offers STD calls at just Re 1 a minute for a monthly charge of Rs 25. But lifetime validity customers cannot avail of these offers.

MAHESH UPPAL
Telecom consultan
Locking yourself into a scheme may not work if call charges come down in future, which is likely. There are regulatory glitches as well. The licences given to cell-phone companies for operating mobile services in different circles themselves are valid for 20 years. The Telecom & Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) is looking into the feasibility of such lifetime offers considering that the validity of the service provider itself is limited. A TRAI official points out that the fine print says that the offer is valid till the licence is valid. "We need to know whether the scheme will be carried forward when the licenses are renewed & what exactly is the definition of lifetime validity when the companies themselves have a licence for a limited period," he says. TRAI will soon issue guidelines in this regard.

Who is it for?

Lifetime offer
Who is giving it: Hutch, Airtel, Idea, Reliance, Tata Indicom, MTNL & BSNL
Price: Rs 990-999
Talktime: Rs 25-100
Call rates: Rs 2 for local calls & Rs 3 for STD. No discounted rate for calls to same network.
Major draw: Validity for life & full talktime on all future recharges.
The catch: Can't combine this offer with other concessional offers. Call charges are higher than normal prepaid rates.
The target segment: Low-usage customers, like electricians, plumbers, carpenters, petty shopkeepers, delivery boys, salespersons, maidservants, milkmen, school students, etc.

Different plans suit different individuals depending on their usage pattern & budgets. For instance, there is a plan under which an SMS costs just 10 paise. Another offers very low call charges at night for people who love yakking after hours. The lifetime validity offer is suitable for low-usage customers-people who receive calls but rarely make any. Like your driver. Or the plumber, electrician or carpenter. Or even a school-going child. It is also useful for small businessmen who want to keep in touch with their employees but don't expect them to make calls. Says K. Srinivas, CEO, Airtel Delhi: "The Lifetime Prepaid opens up new segments of the population who want to go mobile but could not afford it earlier."

However, if you use your cell phone intensively, you are better off without a lifetime validity, never mind the full talktime on subsequent recharges. In any case, industry sources say that the processing fee may soon be done away, making recharging cheaper.

Lifetime choice
When one signs up for lifetime validity, he foregoes the option of switching over to another network. "Locking yourself into a scheme may not work for you if call charges come down in the future, which is likely to happen," says Mahesh Uppal, a Delhi-based telecom consultant. So, it is better to keep your options open instead of locking yourself into lifetime validity with just one service provider, & that too at a rate higher than the prevailing charges.

An Indian migrated to America, & moved into an American neighbourhood; His American neighbour went next door to wish him welcome. He was shocked to see the man from India in his nice backyard chasing ten chickens around like mad. "Must be an Indian custom," he thought to himself. Deciding he could put off the welcome till a later date, he went home.

The next day, he decided he was going to welcome the Indian man again. When he looked through his window, he saw the Indian man urinate into a cup & drink it. "Must be an Indian custom," he thought to himself. Deciding he could put off the welcome till tomorrow, he went on with other
stuff.

The third day, he was determined he had to welcome the Indian man. At his gate, he saw the Indian man with his ear pressed against a cow's big fat butt. Seeing this, he became angry & went up to the Indian man. "I'm sorry sir, I did want to wish you a warm welcome, but I cannot stand your crazy Indian customs!" He yelled in the Indian man's face.

The Indian man looked confused & answered. "Sorry sir, I think you are mistaken. These are actually American customs. I was told that in order to be a true American, you have to chase chicks, get piss drunk, & listen to bullshit."

And the inmates complied by standing up. After the anthem he yelled, "Down Nuts!" & they all sat. After a home run he yelled, "Cheer nuts!" & they all broke into applause & cheers.

Thinking things were going very well, he decided to go get a beer & a hot-dog, leaving his assistant in charge. When he returned there was a riot in progress. Finding his assistant, he asked what happened.

ALWAYS GET YOUR CREDIT CARD SWIPED IN YOUR PRESENCE!

They would make duplicates of credit cards used by customers at a Juhu Hotel

TIMES NEWS NETWORK
Mumbai: The next time you decide to use your credit card on a shopping trip, think again. The Mumbai police have busted a hitech credit card fraud which they believe is the crime of the future.

Four gadget-savvy youngsters from Andheri, two of them software engineers, got together to earn a quick buck & ended up ripping off over Rs 3 lakh of citizens' money. The foursome were arrested by the Juhu police on Tuesday.

Interestingly, one of the boys was all set to leave for the United States for a job in a wellplaced computer firm.

According to the police, the mastermind of the gang is 19-year- old Leo Paul. A second-year engineering student at a Ban! dra college, Paul had read about a magnetic card-reading device which could store data once you swipe a card through it. Data from at least 12 such cards could be stored at a time. Paul realised that if credit cards were swiped though the machine, the personal data of a customer stored on it could be accessed. He then teamed with Akash Kamble, a 19-year-old Lokhandwala resident, & ordered the card-reader from USA, using the internet, since it's not available in India.

"The boys befriended a waiter at Kings International hotel at Juhu to take their plan ahead. Every time someone ate a meal in the hotel & paid by credit card, the waiter would discreetly swipe it through the magnetic card-reader, which is no more than 6-inches long & can be stored in the pocket,'' said investigating officer Ramesh Nangare.

Once the waiter was done, he would hand over the device to Paul who would download the data from the cards on to Kamble's personal computer. The duo would then feed the data into blank cards, available in the grey market. The cards were now ready to be used in shopping malls & theatres, or to withdraw money from an ATM.

Senior inspector Pradeep Shinde said that the boys forged information from more than 22 cards in this manner. The fraud came to light after officials from HSBC bank complained to the police. The cops quizzed customers whose cards had been duplicated & discovered they had all visited Hotel Kings International & paid by credit card.

Investigators then caught the waiter who led them to the four youngsters. Paul, Kamble & the two other collegians identified as Manoj Chauhan (24) & Mahesh Valani (20), have been remanded to police custody.

NEW-AGE CRIME
A portable magnetic cardreader can store data from around a dozen cards that have been swiped through it; made in China, the device was bought on the net for Rs 18,000/-. The card-reader is connected to a computer & the entire data is transferred there. The data is then stored in blank cards available in the grey market. These duplicate cards can now be used to buy a fortune & also withdraw money from ATMs. The accused used a card-reader to transfer the data on to a PC for making a duplicate credit card.

True story:

This lady has changed her habit on the hand phone after her handbag was stolen. Her handbag which contained her mobile, credit card, purse.. etc.... was stolen. 20min later when she called her hubby, telling him what happened. Husband says "I've just received your SMS asking about our Pin number. & I've replied a little while ago". When they rushed down to the bank. Bank staff told them all the money already withdrawn. The pickpocket had actually used the stolen hand phone to sms "hubby" in the contact list & got hold of the pin number. Within 20 mins he had withdrawn all the money from the bank account.

Morale of the lesson: Do not disclose the relationship between you & the people in your contact list. Avoid using name like Home, Honey, Hubby, sweetheart, Dad, Mum etc...... & very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked thru SMS, CONFIRM by calling back.

Every minute, to and fro,
That's the way my hours go,
Bring me this, take me that,
Feed the dog, put out the cat,
Standing up I eat my toast,
Drink my coffee, thaw the roast,
Empty garbage, make the bed,
Rush to church, wash my head,
Sweep the kitchen, wax the floor,
Scrub the woodwork, clean the door,
Scour the bathtub. then myself,
Vacuum carpets, straighten shelves,
Eat a sandwich on the run,
Now my afternoon's begun.

To the soccer game I go,
When will I find time to sew?
Meet the teacher, stop a fight,
See the dentist, change a light,
Help with homework, do the wash,
Iron the clothes, put on the squash,
Shop for groceries, cash a check,
Fight the crowds, now I'm a wreck!

Dinner time it soon will be,
"What's for dinner?" Wait and see!
Dirty dishes fill the sink,
Make some popcorn and a drink,
Will they never go to bed,
Will I never get ahead?
Bring them water, get the light,
Turn off the TV, lock up the bike,
Where's my pillow, say your prayers,
Did you lock the door downstairs?

At last in bed, my spouse and I,
Too tired to talk, too weak to cry,
And in the dark I hear him say...

An eccentric philosophy professor gave a one question final exam after a semester dealing with a broad array of topics.

The class was already seated & ready to go when the professor picked up his chair, plopped it on his desk & wrote on the board: "Using everything we have learned this semester, prove that this chair does not exist."

Fingers flew, erasers erased, notebooks were filled in furious fashion. Some students wrote over 30 pages in one hour attempting to refute the existence of the chair. One member of the class however, was up & finished in less than a minute.

Weeks later when the grades were posted, the rest of the group wondered how he could have gotten an A when he had barely written anything at all.

His answer consisted of two words: "Which chair?"

You Have a Phlegmatic Temperament

Mild mannered and laid back, you take life at a slow pace.
You are very consistent - both in emotions and actions.
You tend to absorb set backs easily. You are cool and collected.

It is difficult to offend you. You can remain composed and unemotional.
You are a great friend and lover. You don't demand much of others.
While you are quiet, you have a subtle wit that your friends know well.

At your worst, you are lazy and unwilling to work at anything.
You often get stuck in a rut, without aspirations or dreams.
You can get too dependent on others, setting yourself up for abandonment.

I had been doing Tech Support for Hewlett-Packard's DeskJet division for about a month when I had a customer call with a problem I just couldn't solve. She could not print yellow. All the other colors would print fine, which truly baffled me because the only true colors are cyan, magenta, and yellow. For instance, green is a combination of cyan and yellow, but green printed fine. Every color of the rainbow printed fine except for yellow. I had the customer change ink cartridges. I had the customer delete and reinstall the drivers. Nothing worked. I asked my coworkers for help; they offered no new ideas. After over two hours of troubleshooting, I was about to tell the customer to send the printer in to us for repair when she asked quietly, "Should I try printing on a piece of white paper instead of this yellow paper?"

A man attempting to set up his new printer called the printer's tech support number, complaining about the error message: "Can't find the printer. On the phone, the man said he even held the printer up in front of the screen, but the computer still couldn't find it.

And another user was all confused about why the cursor always'moved in the opposite direction from the movement of the mouse. She also complained that the buttons were difficult to depress. She was very embarrassed when we asked her to rotate the mouse so the tail pointed away from her.

Customer: "Hello? I'm trying to dial in. I installed the software okay, and it dialed fine. I could hear that. Then I could hear the two computers connecting. But then the sound all stopped, so I picked up the phone to see if they were still connected, and I got the message, 'No carrier,' on my screen. What's wrong?"

This guy calls in to complain that he gets an "Access Denied" message every time he logs in. It turned out he was typing his username and password in capital letters. Tech Support: "Ok, let's try once more, but use lower case letters. Customer: "Uh, I only have capital letters on my keyboard."

One day, a young boy asked his Mom.
"Why are you crying?"
"Because I'm a woman" she told him.
"I don't understand," he said.
His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will, but that's okay."

Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does Mom seem to cry for no reason?"
"All women cry for no reason" was all his dad could say.

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry. Finally, he put in a call to God.

When God got back to him, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?"
God answered, "When I made woman, I decided she had to be special.

I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet her arms gentle nough to give comfort.

I gave her the inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times will come, even from her own children.

I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going and take care of her family and friends, even when everyone else gives up, through sickness and fatigue, without complaining.

I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her badly. She has the very special power to make a child's boo-boo feel better and to quell a teenager's anxieties and fears.

I gave her strength to care for her husband, despite faults, and I fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.

I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.
For all of this hard work, I also gave her a tear to shed. It is hers to use whenever needed and is her only weakness."

"When you see her cry, tell her how much you love her and all she does for everyone. And even though she may still cry, you will have made her heart feel good."

"She is special!"

A young private sought permission from his Commanding Officer to leave camp the following weekend. "You see," he explained, "my wife's expecting."

"Oh..." said the Officer, "I understand. Go ahead & tell your wife that I wish her luck."

The following week the same soldier was back again with the same explanation: "My wife's expecting."

The Officer looked surprised. "Still expecting?" he said, "Well, well, my boy, you must be pretty bothered. Of course you can have the week-end off."

When the same soldier appeared again the third week, however, the Officer lost his temper. "Don't tell me your wife is still expecting!" he bellowed.

"Yes sir!" said the soldier resolutely, "She's still expecting."

"What in heaven is she expecting?" cried the Officer.

"Me." said the soldier simply.

I hired a plumber to help me restore an old farmhouse, and after he had just finished a rough first day on the job, a flat tire made him lose an hour of work & his electric drill quit, his ancient one ton truck refused to start. As I drove him home, he sat in stony silence.

On arriving he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked toward the front door, he paused briefly at a small tree, touching the tips of the branches with both hands. Upon opening the door he had undergone an amazing transformation. His tanned face was wreathed in smiles and he hugged his two small children and gave his wife a kiss.

Afterward he walked me to the car. We passed the tree and my curiosity got the better of me. I asked him about what I had seen him do at the little tree.

"Oh, that's my trouble tree," he replied. "I know I can't help having troubles on the job, but one thing's for sure, those troubles don't belong in the house with my wife and the children. So I just hang them up on the tree every night when I come home and ask God to take care of them. Then in the morning I pick them up again." Funny thing is," he smiled", when I come out in the morning to pick them up, there aren't nearly as many as I remember hanging up the night before."

At the end of the day,
let me not dwell on my failures
or recount my disappointments.
Let my heart not be heavy over the day's frustrations,
the cold voices, and minor vexations.
Remind me that there's so much more to life than worry,
pain and trivial strife.

Let me not be blind to each tiny pleasure.
Remind me that each little blessing is something to treasure.
Let me hear children's laughter, the voice of a dear friend;
and let the warm memories revive me... when a long day ends.
And wrap me tight in your arms, once my worries depart;
never let me forget your love, lest I forget my heart.

Producer: UTV
Cast: Aamir Khan. Soha Ali Khan, Waheeda Rehman, Om Puri, Kiron Kher, Madhavan, Atul Kulkarni, Kunal Kapoor, Sharman Joshi, Anupam Kher
Must See reason: It’s an Aamir Khan-starrer directed by Rakeysh Mehra, who made his directorial debut with Aks. Though the film didn’t fare well at the Box Office, Rakeysh was accredited for his effort & guts to make such a different film. However, with Aamir Khan in a new avaatar, Rang De Basanti remains one to watch out for.

Director: Rajkumar Santoshi
Producer: Amitabh Bachchan, Keshu Ramsay
Cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Bhoomika Chawla, Aryeman
Must See reason: After Viruddh in 2005, Amitabh Bachchan will produce Family this year. It’ll be interesting to see Amitabh play an underworld kingpin in this dramatic action-packed motion flick. New talent Aryaman will also be launched in this movie.

Producer: Ritesh Sidhwani
Cast: Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Kareena Kapoor, Isha Koppikar, Mallika Sherawat
Must See reason: For starters, it’s a remake of one of AB’s biggest hits, ‘Don’ & a Shah Rukh Khan film to boot, directed by the very talented Farhan Akhtar – of Dil Chahta Hai & Lakshya fame. It’ll be interesting to see how SRK does a Bachchan, banarasi paan & all.

Krrish
Director: Rakesh Roshan
Producer: Rakesh Roshan
Cast: Rekha, Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra, Sharat Saxena, Puneet Issar, Naseeruddin Shah, Preity Zinta (Special App)

Dhoom 2
Director: Sanjay Gadhvi
Producer: Yashraj Films
Cast: Hrithik Roshan, Aishwarya Rai, Abhishek Bachchan, Uday Chopra, Bipasha Basu, Rimi Sen
Must See reason: With its bikes, hunks, sexy ladies & rocking music, Dhoom was a hit film formula. & in the tradition of the bond capers that it’s tried to emulate, this is the sequel. Hrithik & Aishwarya’s entry & the turn of events thereof will be rocking, wethinks.

Darna Zaroori Hai
Director(s): J.D. Chakravarthi, Manish Gupta, Rohit Jugraj, Sajid Khan, Jijy Philip, Prawal Raman, Vivek Shah, Ram Gopal Varma
Producer: Ram Gopal Varma
Cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Bipasha Basu, Ritesh Deshmukh, Makrand Deshpande, Randeep Hooda, Anil Kapoor, Isha Koppikar, Arjun Rampal, Mallika Sherawat, Suniel Shetty
Must See reason: Darna Zaroori Hai is the sequel of the very popular Darna Mana Hai. It’s a film that tells several stories that come together as one at the end of it all. Ram Gopal Varma known for his horror flicks, promises this to be yet another ‘chilling’ experience.

Salaam e Ishq: A Tribute to Love
Director: Nikhil Advani
Producer: Sunil Manchanda, Mukesh Talreja
Cast: Salman Khan, Sonali Bendre, Priyanka Chopra, Anil Kapoor, Juhi Chawla, Akshaye Khanna, Ayesha Takia, John Abraham, Vidya Balan, Govinda, Sohail Khan
Must See reason: After Kal Ho Naa Ho, this is Nikhil Advani’s next venture. Besides the director, the impressive list of actors in the movie will make it a crowd-puller.

Taxi No. 9211
Director: Milan Luthria
Producer: Ramesh Sippy
Cast: John Abraham, Nana Patekar, Sameera Reddy
Must See reason: Backed by the maker of the original Sholay, Ramesh Sippy, Taxi 9211 is definitely a much awaited film. Milan Luthria, who has also directed Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt in the most recent Deewar promises this to be a ‘never seen before’ flick.

Corporate
Director: Madhur Bhandarkar
Producer: Sahara One Motion Pictures
Cast: Bipasha Basu, Kay Kay Menon
Must See reason: After realistic films like Chandni Bar, Satta & Page 3, Madhur will release yet another realistic film – Corporate – that deals with the politics of the corporate world. With hard-hitting performers like Bipasha Basu & Kay Kay Menon, this one is touted to be yet another hard-hitting film from Madhur’s stable.

Janeman
Director: Shirish Kunder
Producer: Sajid Nadiadwala
Cast: Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, Preity Zinta, Anupam Kher, Tom DiNardo
Must See reason: The high point of this flick is not only its protagonist – Salman Khan – but also director Shirish Kunder. This is Shirish’s directorial debut.

The Namesake
Director: Mira Nair
Producer: Lydia Dean Pilcher, Mira nair, Lori Keith Douglas
Cast: Tabu, Irfan Khan, Kal Penn, Zuleikha Robinson
Must See reason: The Namesake is based on the best-selling novel of the same title authored by Jhumpa Lahiri. Directed by renowned filmmaker Mira Nair, this one will be a film to watch out for. We hear that Jhumpa Lahiri herself does a cameo in this one. Also, we’ll see Tabu on the silver screen after a very long time.

Umrao Jaan
Director: J.P. Dutta
Producer: J.P. Dutta
Cast: Aishwarya Rai, Abhishek Bachchan, Shabana Azmi, Suniel Shetty, Arshad Warsi, Divya Dutta, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Puru Rajkumar

Here's a story about George Dantzig - the famed mathematician whose contributions to Operations Research & systems engineering have made him immortal.

As a college student, George studied very hard & often late into the night. So late, that he overslept one morning, arriving 20 minutes late for Prof. Neyman's class. He quickly copied the two maths problems on the board, assuming they were the homework assignment. It took him several days to work through the two problems, but finally he had a breakthrough & dropped the homework on Neyman's desk the next day.

Six weeks later, on a Sunday morning, George was awakened at 8 a.m. by his excited professor. Since George was late for class, he hadn't heard the professor announce that the two unsolvable equations on the board were mathematical mind-teasers that even Einstein hadn't been able to answer. But George Dantzig, working without any thoughts of limitation, had solved not one, but two problems that had stumped mathematicians for thousands of years.

Simply put, George solved the problems because he didn't know he couldn't.

You are not limited to the life U now live. It has been accepted by U as the best U can do at this moment. Any time you're ready to go beyond the limitations currently in your life, you're capable of doing that by choosing different thoughts. All U must do is figure out how U can do it, not whether or not U can. & once U have made your mind up to do it, it's amazing how your mind begins to figure out how. A person is limited only by the thoughts that he/she chooses.

Sometimes, there is no next time, no second chance, no time out...
Sometimes, it's simply NOW or NEVER...

Three sons left home, started careers & prospered. Getting back together, they discussed the gifts that they were able to give their elderly mother for her seventieth birthday.

The first said, "I built a big house for Mom."

The second said, "I sent her a Mercedes with a driver."

The third smiled & said, "I've got you both beat. You know how Mom enjoys the Bible & you know she can't see very well. I sent her a brown parrot that can recite the entire Bible. It took 20 monks in a monastery 12 years to teach him. I had to pledge to contribute $100,000 a year for 10 years, but it was worth it. Mom just has to name the chapter & verse & the parrot will recite it."

Soon thereafter, Mom sent out letters of thanks:

She wrote to the first son, "Milton, the house you built is not practical. I live in only one room, but I have to heat, cool, & clean the whole house."

She wrote to the second son, "Marvin, I am too old to travel. I stay home all the time, so I never use the Mercedes. & the driver is so rude!"

A taxi passenger tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him a question. The driver screamed, lost control of the car, nearly hit a bus, went up on the footpath, & stopped centimeters from a shop window.

For a second everything went quiet in the cab, then the driver said: "Look mate, don't ever do that again. U scared the daylights out of me!".

The passenger apologized & said, "I didn't realize that a little tap would scare U so much."

The driver replied, "Sorry, it's not really your fault. Today is my first day as a cab driver - I've been driving a van carrying dead Bodies for the last 25 years..!!!!

Interesting Egyptian birth signs, source unknown, veracity of information disclaimed.

God of the Sacred Nile (February 3 to March 4)
Better known as the Crocodile god, Suchos guarded the treasures of ancient Egypt. Those born under this sign are attracted by beauty, & ancient wise men warned them not to be blinded by it. "Look beyond an attractive appearance & find the real man beneath" they warned, "Listen to your heart instead of what your eyes tell you."

God of Fertility (March 5 to April 9)
If U were born under this sign, don't expect to fall in love at first sight. Those ruled by Osiris need time for love to put down roots in their hearts, but it will grow stronger until it blossoms into a romance that will last a lifetime.

God of Truth (April 10 to May 2)
Ptah' s people are very sincere & have to be careful to avoid being hurt in romance. You'll find your Mr/Ms Right practically on your doorstep because you've known him/her for a long time. Because he's / she's a down-to-earth type who appreciates sincerity, he'll / she'll be attracted to U sooner or later, so don't be pushy when U recognise him /her.

God of Life (May 3 to June 16)
The hawk-headed god rules a fickle sign - those born under it have roving eyes & a passionate nature. Life for them is finding a series of Mr/Ms Rights, & they have no trouble doing it. For true romantic happiness, U need a very strong, steady type of man/woman who can tame your restless spirit & still give U the excitement U crave.

Goddess of True Love (June 17 to July 21)
Beautiful Nephtaphis watches over this most dreamily romantic of all signs. Her children are incredibly loyal to their lovers, & are actually capable of becoming one with them in body, mind & soul. For this reason they have to be careful to choose men/women as caring & considerate as themselves, or they will cruelly be taken advantage of.

God of Thunder & Lightning (July 22 to August 18)
Like their turbulent guardian, those born under this sign have quicksilver temperaments & have to keep their thermostats lowered if they want their love lives to heat up. U need an even-tempered, understanding type who can put up with your occasional outbursts.

Protector God (August 19 to September 21)
If U were lucky enough to be born under this sign, U can look forward to life-long romance that will never stop growing. Mr/Ms Right for U is the mystery man type who has a multi-faceted personality & will Forever be revealing new & fascinating aspects of himself/herself, Thereby continually giving U something new about himself for U to love.

Sun God (September 22 to October 15)
You'll have no trouble finding Mr/Ms Right because you're what every man/woman is looking for - tender, understanding, passionate, & intensely loyal. Men/Women will flock to you, so U can afford to be choosy. Pick the man/woman who is most deserving of the prize U are, & don't look back. Your only fault is a tendency to wonder if U made the right choices in the past, so keep your eyes peeled on the future.

Goddess of Miracles (October 16 to November 9)
Those born under the sign of this ancient Egypt's chief goddess have a magic touch. With a smile, they can captivate any man/woman who attracts them. Finding Mr/Ms Right is easy for Isis' sons/daughters - they can spot him/her a mile off & snare him/her with their great charm.

God of Light (November 10 to December 3)
Thoth's children have a hard time displaying their feelings, especially the romantic ones. When U meet Mr/Ms Right, show him how U feel - don't keep him/her guessing.

Goddess of Music & the Arts (December 4 to December 31)
Hathor' s children are in love with love. They tend to fall head over heels in love with the first man that shows any interest in them, & they stick to them like glue. Keep a level head & be sure he's really Mr/Ms Right. Your type of man/woman likes harmony, & U have to show him/her that U are the one who can provide it.

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His Father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence.

Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, The number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all.

He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy Now, pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.

The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound is still there.

"A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one. Friends are very rare jewels, indeed. They make U smile and encourage U to succeed. They lend an ear, they share words of praise and they always want to open their hearts to us."

YOU ARE MY FRIEND AND I AM HONORED!
Please forgive me if I have ever left a hole.

A young woman who was several months pregnant boarded a bus. When she noticed a young man smiling at her she began feeling humiliated on account of her condition. She changed her seat and he seemed more amused. She moved again and then on her third move he burst out laughing................ She had him arrested.

Then the case came before the court, the young man was asked why he acted in such a manner. His reply was:

When the lady boarded the bus I couldn't help noticing she was pregnant. She sat under an advertisement, which read: 'Coming soon: 'The Gold DustTwins'. I was even more amused when she sat under a shaving advertisement, which read: 'William's Stick Did The Trick'. Then I could not control myself any longer when on the third move she sat under an advertisement, which read: 'Dunlop Rubber would have prevented this accident.'

The case was dismissed.......

Q1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?

Q 2. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?

Q 5. This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching!

Answers
1. The third. Lions that haven't eaten in three years are dead.
2. The woman was a photographer. She shot a picture of her husband, developed it and hung it up to dry.
3. The letter "e," which is the most common letter in the English language, does not appear once in the long paragraph, and it is No. 5 Qn.
