The difference between US and China...

Forgiveness....





There's no one definition of forgiveness. But in general, forgiveness is a decision to let go of resentments and thoughts of revenge. Forgiveness is the act of untying yourself from thoughts and feelings that bind you to the offense committed against you. This can reduce the power these feelings otherwise have over you, so that you can a live freer and happier life in the present. Forgiveness can even lead to feelings of understanding, empathy and compassion for the one who hurt you.

Forgiveness is a big thing and maybe on everyone's mind....there are loads of sites dealing with the subject!!!

Super Bowl and Malfunction....

Super Bowl should be now seen with Adult Supervision...Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction and now Porn during the game!!!
In the Tucson, Arizona area, Comcast viewers had a 30 second clip of hard core porn. This is a family show, kids must have been watching it.. I am pretty certain, for some time parents would not even be sure if this was an ad or what...what a horrific experience.
Can parents sue Comcast for it? How does one explain all this to the kids..Where are we heading to?

A few things to do before I die

A Few to do before I Die
1) Visit the Northern Lights
2) Go for an African Safari
3) Go out in Space
4) See all the wonders of the world - Pyramid, Great wall
5) Set foot on each of the seven continents. Antarctica might be a tough one, but once done and reached all seven one can truly call oneself a world traveler.
6) Make a substantial difference in someone's life. Someone who is not related to me in any way
7) Tell all the people I love and care that I love them and how much they mean in my life.

An American in Gandhi's India

How many of us know of the only American who was jailed cause he was a part of India"s Freedom Struggle and how many of us know of the man who got the Red Apples to Himachal Pradesh.

It was rather pleasant to meet Mrs Asha Sharma author of the book "An American in Gandhi's India". She's the grand daughter of this American Indian, Samuel Evans Stokes, who later was known as Satynand Stokes.



This is what Mahatama Gandhi had to say in an article in Young India on Stokes’ arrest, "This is a unique move on the part of the government. Mr Stokes is an American who has naturalised himself as a British subject who has made India his home in a manner in which perhaps no other American or Englishman has... But that he should feel with and like an Indian, share his sorrows and throw himself into the struggle, has proved too much for the government. To leave him free to criticise the government was intolerable, so his white skin has proved no protection for him..."

Resolutions 09

New Year with new resolutions, new issues and new ways to keep them at bay or rather get them sorted...
So unline every year I did not make any resolutions this year..but now as time is going by I think I should ...Keeps the tradition going...and that also means breaking the resolution in the first month but always have a good reason for it!!!
So I have decided on this year's resolution....a happy healthy life ( which includes loosing weight) But I would this year not pinpoint my resolutions but rather put them in a broad gambit...so a happy healthy life...and in case at the end of the year i am still as BIG as i am now...I would have still achieved half of my resolution...all that eating and drinking that helped me keep my BIG stature atleasr made me happy!!!!
Diplomacy with self is the word!!

FRIENDS and FRIENDSHIP!!!

The best definition I have read so far!!!! "Good friends are like bras: supportive, never leave you hanging, make you look good and are always close to your heart." I think that is as good a definition as any of the word friend I've come across. Well gals I know you can relate to it but guys you gotto find your own thing!! :)
"A friend is someone who knows everything about you, but likes you anyway," goes the saying. There is no other human relationship like that of a friend. Unlike a sister, you chose a friend—she is not given to you as a result of biology
Another piece of advice I read....
If you've had a disagreement with your friend, buy her a new lipstick and attach a note that reads, "Let's make up."

Achievement

How does one define achievement. It is defined in Thesaurus as something completed successfully; goal reached . So anything can be an achievement.
What has been your life's achievements so far. For me it has been able to drive...well so many people woiuld say it is hardly anything..but for me it is one of the biggest achievments in my life.
People who read this blog, share your achievemnts. Achievements for me are things that I never thought I would do but then I finally do...this could be different for you.

Mystery of the Hawaian Roosters - Solved!!

Phew after a long time am back on my blog, continuing from where I left last, the mystery behind the roosetrs, hens and chicken in Kuai in Hawai..
The Philipinos on the island had got the fighter cocks for their entertainment ( that explains the aggression in the roosters and hens there!!!) In1995 or so there was a big tornedo in the island and as a result the roosters with their hens and chicken got into the whirlwind and were scattered all over the island ( literally , any part of the island, no matter how remote, you will hear Cock A Doodle Doo!!!)
And ofcourse we did ask the local Hawaianswhy dont they eat them - the answer - they dont taste good!!!
And they also have a menace of goats!!!
Hearing all this my first instinct was that it is a dream place for a Sardarjie ka Dhaba!!! Fresh Tandoorie Chicken and Mutton!!!

US and the world market

This slowdown, in a very negative way, has again shown that US is still the biggest growth engine for the world. All the theories that the developing economies would take up the growth and that all economies are insulated from each other, all those has been put to rest to a very large extent!!!
Dollar rules again !!!

Raj Thackrey -

Got this mail...worth thinking about!

This is a wonderful mail circulating in favour of RAJ Thackerey have a look. We all should support Raj Thackeray and take his initiative ahead by doing more...

1.We should teach our kids that if he is second in Class, don't study harder.. just beat up the student coming first and throw him out of the school

2. Parliament should have only Delhiites as it is located in Delhi

3. Prime-minister, president and all other leaders should only be from Delhi

4. No Hindi movie should be made in Bombay . Only Marathi.

5. At every state border, buses, trains, flights should be stopped and staff changed to local men

6. All Maharashtrians working abroad or in other states should be sent back as they are SNATCHING employment from Locals

7. Lord Shiv, Ganesha and Parvati should not be worshiped in our state as they belong to north ( Himalayas )

8. Visits to Taj Mahal should be restricted to people from UP only

9. Relief for farmers in Maharashtra should not come from centre because that is the money collected as Tax from whole of India , so why should it be given to someone in Maharashtra ?

10. Let's support Kashmiri militants because they are right to killing and injuring innocent people for benefit of their state and community... ...

11. Let's throw all MNCs out of Maharashtra , why should they earn from us? We will open our own Maharashtra Microsoft, MH Pepsi and MH Marutis of the world.

12. Let's stop using cell phones, emails, TV, foreign Movies and dramas. James bond should speak Marathi

13. We should be ready to die hungry or buy food at 10 times higher price but should not accept imports from other states

14. We should not allow any industry to be setup in Maharashtra because all machinery comes from outside

15. We should STOP using local trains...Trains are not manufactured by Marathi manoos and Railway Minister is a Bihari

16.. Ensure that all our children are born, grow, live and die without ever stepping out of Maharashtra , then they will become true Marathi's

This mail should somehow reach Raj Thackrey so forward it to as many ppl as possible. This mail needs to be read by all Indians. So please help in this cause. Keep Forwarding.
