I am a lover, a lover who has lost his dear love...She seems to be eons away from me...Hey,do not blame her,for its not she who is moving away,but me who is hiding myself away from her...She is constantly calling out for me...Always waiting for my return...I too want to be back with her,alas, I can't...
Yes,there she is...Calling out to me with her outstretched arms...Calling me,"Oh my dear Jeffie,come back...I am missing you so much"...Yes dear,I also want to be back with you...But somehow, some invisible rift has formed between us...I am constantly in the try to be with you again...But some force,unseen and unheard of,is pulling me back and stopping me from getting to you...
Each day, I wake up assuring myself,"Yes,today I will patch up our differences.I will be back with her again"...But as helpless as I am,I am not able to...I know I owe a lot to you...I am what I am today mainly because of you...You made me the Jeffie who I am today...To run away from you is something I can't eve think of;but this is what I am doing now!!!...Oh no...I don't want to be away from you...Every single minute without you is like ages to me...But together,every hour flies by us...
Oh dear...these eyes of mine has witnessed a lot...a lot to reckon
But when the light from you do not fall in them,everything else becomes just shadows in the daylight....
Seen has lot these two eyes...Too much to bear with,
The sight of them tearing you apart,
Oh my dear,I stood there watching..helpless and weak
there were enemies who took u away from me
Pounce upon u from darkness they did,put their claws into u deep into your heart
I fought for you, brought you back to me,my soul
But then came the real villains
Snatch you away, they did not from me, but killed you moment by moment
Used they neither daggers nor claws...
but their talons and feathers hidden under the white hoods,they attacked you...faces concealed,they destroyed you
The hoods gave away and revealed the faces
Oh..Aghast...
It could not be so!!!
Neither enemy nor any foe..but our very owns who destroyed you dear
.....
Sight of this could not I bear,
no more could I help you dear
Shattered all in myself..
My heart does ache,my limbs do tremble,speechless I am before thee now
Sorry dear,I failed to rescue you from them
But.....As dear as I am to you
I will be back here for you...
No more a pacifist,here I am to rescue you
Yes dear...
Here I am to rescue you...
Here I am to rescue you...
| The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside, just before putting him into the box. "There are 5 things you need to know," he told the pencil, "Before I send you out into the world. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best pencil you can be." "1 : You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in Someone's hand." "2 : You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you'll need it to become a better pencil." "3 : You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make." "4 : The most important part of you will always be what's inside." "And 5 : On every surface you are used on, you must leave your mark. No matter what the condition, you must continue to write." The pencil understood and promised to remember, and went into the box with purpose in its heart. . . . . . . . . . . . Now replacing the place of the pencil with you. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best person you can be. 1 : You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in GOD's hand. And allow other human beings to access you for the many gifts you possess. 2 : You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, by going through various problems, but you'll need it to become a stronger person. 3 : You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make. 4 : The most important part of you will always be what's on the inside. And 5 : On every surface you walk through, you must leave your mark. No matter what the situation, you must continue to do your duties. By understanding and remembering, let us proceed with our life on this earth having a meaningful purpose in our heart.

U.S VERSION
The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house
and laying up supplies for the winter.
The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool and laughs & dances & plays
the summer away.
Come winter ,the Ant is warm and well fed. The Grasshopper has no food
or shelter so he dies out in the cold.
INDIAN Version:
The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house
and laying up supplies for the winter.
The Grasshopper thinks the Ant's a fool and laughs & dances & plays
the summer away.
Come winter, the shivering Grasshopper calls a press conference and
demands to know why the Ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed
while others are cold and starving.
NDTV, BBC, CNN show up to provide pictures of the shivering
Grasshopper next to a video of the Ant in his comfortable home with a
table filled with food.
The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be that this
poor Grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Arundhati Roy stages a demonstration in front of the Ant's house.
Medha Patkar goes on a fast along with other Grasshoppers demanding
that Grasshoppers be relocated to warmer climates during winter.
Amnesty International and Koffi Annan criticizes the Indian Government
for not upholding the fundamental rights of the Grasshopper.
The Internet is flooded with online petitions seeking support to the
Grasshopper (many promising Heaven and Everlasting Peace for prompt
support as against the wrath of God for non-compliance) .
Opposition MPs stage a walkout. Left parties call for "Bharat Bandh"
in West Bengal and Kerala demanding a Judicial Enquiry.
CPM in Kerala immediately passes a law preventing Ants from working
hard in the heat so as to bring about equality of poverty among Ants
and Grasshoppers.
BJP wants Sonia Gandhi's apology.
Lalu Prasad allocates one free coach to Grasshoppers on all Indian
Railway Trains, aptly named as the 'Grasshopper Rath'.
Finally, the Judicial Committee drafts the 'Prevention of Terrorism
Against Grasshoppers Act' [POTAGA], with effect from the beginning of
the winter.
Arjun Singh makes 'Special Reservation' for Grasshoppers in
Educational Institutions & in Government Services.
The Ant is fined for failing to comply with POTAGA and having nothing
left to pay his retroactive taxes,it's home is confiscated by the
Government and handed over to the Grasshopper in a ceremony covered by
NDTV.
Arundhati Roy calls it 'A Triumph of Justice'.
Lalu calls it 'Socialistic Justice'.
CPM calls it the 'Revolutionary Resurgence of the Downtrodden'.
Koffi Annan invites the Grasshopper to address the UN General Assembly.

Many years later...
The Ant has since migrated to the US and set up a multi-billion dollar
company in Silicon Valley ..
100s of Grasshoppers still die of starvation despite reservation
somewhere in India ...
As a result of loosing lot of hard working Ants and feeding the
Grasshoppers, India is still a developing country!!!

| Former President of India APJ Abdul Kalam : 'A Leader Should Know How to Manage Failure' Let me tell you about my experience. In 1973 I became the project director of India 's satellite launch vehicle program, commonly called the SLV-3. Our goal was to put India 's "Rohini" satellite into orbit by 1980. I was given funds and human resources -- but was told clearly that by 1980 we had to launch the satellite into space. Thousands of people worked together in scientific and technical teams towards that goal. By 1979 -- I think the month was August -- we thought we were ready. As the project director, I went to the control center for the launch. At four minutes before the satellite launch, the computer began to go through the checklist of items that needed to be checked. One minute later, the computer program put the launch on hold; the display showed that some control components were not in order. My experts -- I had four or five of them with me -- told me not to worry; they had done their calculations and there was enough reserve fuel. So I bypassed the computer, switched to manual mode, and launched the rocket. In the first stage, everything worked fine. In the second stage, a problem developed. Instead of the satellite going into orbit, the whole rocket system plunged into the Bay of Bengal . It was a big failure. That day, the chairman of the Indian Space Research Organization, Prof. Satish Dhawan, had called a press conference. The launch was at 7:00 am, and the press conference -- where journalists from around the world were present -- was at 7:45 am at ISRO's satellite launch range in Sriharikota [in Andhra Pradesh in southern India ]. Prof. Dhawan, the leader of the organization, conducted the press conference himself. He took responsibility for the failure -- he said that the team had worked very hard, but that it needed more technological support. He assured the media that in another year, the team would definitely succeed. Now, I was the project director, and it was my failure, but instead, he took responsibility for the failure as chairman of the organization. The next year, in July 1980, we tried again to launch the satellite -- and this time we succeeded. The whole nation was jubilant. Again, there was a press conference. Prof. Dhawan called me aside and told me, "You conduct the press conference today." I learned a very important lesson that day. When failure occurred, the leader of the organization owned that failure. When success came, he gave it to his team. The best management lesson I have learned did not come to me from reading a book; it came from that experience.

| Dear Mr. Bill Gates, This letter is from Banta Singh from Punjab. We have bought a computer for our home and we found problems, which I want to bring to your notice. 1. After connecting to internet we planned to open e-mail account and whenever we fill the form in Hotmail in the password column, only ****** appears, but in the rest of the fields whatever we typed appears, but we face this problem only in password field. We checked with hardware vendor Santa Singh and he said that there is no problem in keyboard. Because of this we open the e-mail account with password *****. I request you to check this as we ourselves do not know what the password is. 2. We are unable to enter anything after we click the 'shut down ' button. 3. There is a button 'start' but there is no "stop" button. We request you to check this. 4. We find there is 'Run' in the menu. One of my friend clicked 'run ' has ran upto Amritsar! So, we request you to change that to "sit", so that we can click that by sitting. 5. One doubt is that any 're-scooter' available in system? As I find only 're-cycle', but I own a scooter at my home. 6. There is 'Find' button but it is not working properly. My wife lost the door key and we tried a lot for tracing the key with this ' find', but unable to trace. Is it a bug?? 7. Every night I am not sleeping as I have to protect my 'mouse' from CAT, So I suggest u to provide one DOG to kill that cat. 8. Please confirm when u are going to give me money for winning 'HEARTS' (playing cards in games) and when are u coming to my home to collect ur money. 9. My child learnt 'Microsoft word' now he wants to learn 'Microsoft sentence', so when u will provide that? Best regards, Banta Singh |
