kya kya socha tha mene
kya kya arma sojaye

ish dil me toofa gujar ti he
har pal hum isi ahesas me bondhe he

ajao tum jaldi mere pas ..
loutado sab khusi sare….

Let’s at least pass the Message on and enlighten ppl on what is the Importance of this Anna Hazare’s Hunger Strike….. !!!!!!!!!

1. Who is Anna Hazare?

An ex-army man. Fought 1965 Indo-Pak War

2. What’s so special about him?

He built a village Ralegaon Siddhi in Ahamad Nagar district, Maharashtra

3. So what?

This village is a self-sustained model village. Energy is produced in the village itself from solar power, biofuel and wind mills.

In 1975, it used to be a poverty clad village. Now it is one of the richest village in India. It has become a model for self-sustained, eco-friendly & harmonic village.

4. Ok,…?

This guy, Anna Hazare was awarded Padma Bhushan and is a known figure for his social activities.

5. Really, what is he fighting for?

He is supporting a cause, the amendment of a law to curb corruption in India.

6. How that can be possible?

He is advocating for a Bil, The Lok Pal Bill (The Citizen Ombudsman Bill), that will form an autonomous authority who will make politicians (ministers), beurocrats (IAS/IPS) accountable for their deeds.

8. It’s an entirely new thing right..?

In 1972, the bill was proposed by then Law minister Mr. Shanti Bhushan. Since then it has been neglected by the politicians and some are trying to change the bill to suit thier theft (corruption).

7. Oh.. He is going on a hunger strike for that whole thing of passing a Bill ! How can that be possible in such a short span of time?

The first thing he is asking for is: the government should come forward and announce that the bill is going to be passed.

Next, they make a joint committee to DRAFT the LOK PAL BILL. 50% goverment participation and 50% public participation. Because you cant trust the government entirely for making such a bill which does not suit them.

8. Fine, What will happen when this bill is passed?

A LokPal will be appointed at the centre. He will have an autonomous charge, say like the Election Commission of India. In each and every state, Lokayukta will be appointed. The job is to bring all alleged party to trial in case of corruptions within 1 year. Within 2 years, the guilty will be punished. Not like, Bofors scam or Bhopal Gas Tragedy case, that has been going for last 25 years without any result.

9. Is he alone? Whoelse is there in the fight with Anna Hazare?

Baba Ramdev, Ex. IPS Kiran Bedi, Social Activist Swami Agnivesh, RTI activist Arvind Kejriwal and many more.

Prominent personalities like Aamir Khan is supporting his cause.

10. Ok, got it. What can I do?

At least we can spread the message. How?

Putting status message, links, video, changing profile pics.

At least we can support Anna Hazare and the cause for uprooting corruption from India.

At least we can hope that his Hunger Strike does not go in vain.

At least we can pray for his good health.

Anna Hazare says bring back the Black Money.

Do u know what will happen if 1,456 Lac Crores come back?

1. India will be financially No.1

2. Each district will get Rs. 60,000 crores

& each village will get Rs. 100 crores

3. No need to pay taxes for next 20 years

4. Petrol will cost Rs. 25, Diesel 15, Milk 8

5. No need to pay any electricity bill

6. Indian borders will be stronger

than the China Wall

7. 1500 Oxford-like universitis can be opened

8. 28,000 km of rubber road (like in Paris) can be laid

9. 2,000 hospitals (with all facilities); all medicines, free

10. 95 crore people will have their own homes

Please support Anna Hazare by forwarding this message to

at least 10 Indians.

I did my job.

Similar to our WSR (Weekly Status Report – For those who are not in IT) meetings…………..

Who knows, this might come true in the near future… JJJJJJJ

Sekar (Calling his family from Amsterdam): Good Evening Mom and Dad. Where is my wife Sheela?

Dad: Just now I called her. She is on the way to home after taking our grandson Rahul from his school.

Sekar: Let us wait for her few minutes and we will start this discussion.
(By the time Sheela entered in to the house.. Sekar continue the meeting)

I hope you know the Agenda of the meeting which I had mentioned in the meeting request. Even though let me read out the agenda once again
1. Status update/Discussion on Last Week Action Items
2. Family Strategy
2. Rahul’s Education
3. Medical Insurance for Mom and Dad

I hope everyone have the printout of last week MOM (Minutes of Meeting).
Dear Mom can you please update the status of tasks which you are taking care of?

Mom: Sekar, I am taking care of kitchen module which involves making products like Sambar, Rasam, Curd Rice, Vegetable Biriyani.I am not comfortable in handling the tools for making Non Vegetarian products. You suggest some training in ELM Portal. However after making these products, I am giving to your Dad for Acceptance testing. Once he satisfied with the quality of taste, we pass it to Dining Hall. One more thing, I would like to share with you. As you have suggested during my appraisal discussion, now I have stopped crying while watching mega serials in TV

Sekar: Sounds Good.

Sekar: Now coming to Dad. Dad can you please update us?

Dad: Yes. My dear son. I have completed my tasks by paying the current bill and phone bill with in time.

Sekar: That’s good

Dad: But I couldn’t pay the premium amount of 9200.00 of the LIC plan which you had taken for tax reduction purpose.

Sekar: It doesn’t look nice dad. I have sent you the amount already and given clear instructions.
Can you explain to me what went wrong?

Dad: On Tuesday night suddenly one of our team mate (your mom) fell down on the floor when she was running to catch Rahul. Then we took her to hospital and spent that amount for her medical expenses.

Mom: Sekar, I would like to add on what your Dad said, that was true. I got heavy injury in my legs and I was in hospital for two days. So now we don’t have money to pay for the premium.

Sekar: Sheela..! Would you aware of this? As a home lead, I expect you to track these issues and send it to me on daily basis. What are you doing (With stress on ‘doing’) after coming from college?

Sheela: Will do it Sekar. You know that the college, I am working is very far from our home. Every day I come back home at 6 pm and sit with Rahul for assisting him for doing his home work.

Sekar: Ok. Coming to second Agenda point .Due to this financial crisis we need to change the strategy of running our family. I am looking for your cooperation in the following cost cutting activities. I want to see the cost benefit of 40 % in this month budget after implementing this

ü Asking servant maid to leave her job

ü Stop ordering Pizzas for dinner

ü Avoid Tooth paste and use Neem sticks/Banyan Tree Sticks

ü Switch on TV only for watching Sunday Movie and Friday Oliyum Ozhiyum(Well known program for film songs in Podigai TV)

ü Wise to listen news from our near by portion when they watch news in TV

ü Every Saturday visit our relative’s homes and spend the whole day including break fast, lunch and Dinner

ü Don’t invite anybody to our home. Sunday our relatives might come to our house. Just lock the door outside and do your work inside silently.

ü Everybody assemble in adjacent street Perumal temple on Sunday for breakfast. They provide ‘Pongal’ as ‘prasadam’ which is good in taste

ü Sheela, stop going for gym and Yoga class. Use Attural (Made up of Stone for making Dosa /idly dough), Ammikal (Replacement of Mixie) instead of grinder and Mixie. Mom please give KT to Sheela about this.

ü Don’t buy excess of things and store it in Fridge. Use big Mud pots for cool water.

ü Everybody go to bed early around 6:30 pm. Ask Rahul to do his homework when he comes back from school immediately during the hours sunlight is available. If not ask him to read under street light. He will become like Lincoln (Former US President) one day.

ü Use as much of cycle for transportation to near by places(It will help you to reduce fat and Cholesterol content)

ü I know you are eager to watch latest release ‘Vaaranam Aayiram’. Don’t plan for that. Wail till next year Diwali to watch the same movie in Kalaignar TV

If you have any clarifications contact Sheela

Coming to third point in Agenda, Sheela, can you please update me about Rahul’s Education? In which standard he is studying? Whether he got any double promotion? He was writing annual exam for third standard when I was leaving for Amsterdam.

Sheela: Sekar, I am bit worrying about his education. I have tracked his efforts, schedule in our C2.0 tool. I found 20 % in Effort variance and 35 % in schedule deviation. His learning curve goes down in the control chart which you can see in the report, I have sent you yesterday.

Sekar: Thanks for your measurements. I will review the report and we will discuss it on next week’s call. I have a client meeting now. So we will discuss the third agenda item next week. Mom and Dad, Can you please drop out from the call? I wanted to talk to Sheela about few personal things and Dad, don’t forget to circulate the MOM to everyone.

Sheela: Hello Sekar…

Sheela: Hello…Hello…

Sheela: Hello…

The man replies, "I don’t know, my wife told me to stand here." : )

Today’s life is all about pace; if you do not keep up with the rat-race, you will be left behind. It is a strange race because you do not even wish to reach the finishing line–death. However, our experience proves that pace kills.

Whether death is something to be feared or not is another matter. The question is—why do we always live as though there is light only at the end of the tunnel? Why don’t we focus on enjoying the journey itself instead of putting enjoyment on hold until the journey’s end? As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “We are always getting ready to live but never living.”

Let go of the past, don’t worry about the future

Making your past or your future the focus of your life can stop you from enjoying the present. Robert Nathan, the poet, wrote, “There is no distance on this earth as far away as yesterday.” Life is about learning, enjoying and loving. None of this can be achieved if you continue to swing like a pendulum, either ruing over your past or worrying about the future. The past is unchangeable and the future is invisible. It would be best to remove these dimensions of time from our immediate awareness if they prevent us from making the best of the present.

Awareness of the past and future has its benefits. The past should serve as a teacher but not as a master. ‘Experience is the best teacher’ is what we have been schooled to believe. However, this is not true for most of us. Research has shown that many of us make the same mistakes repeatedly; we never seem to learn from experience. Focus not on the regrets but on what caused the regret and why. Then apply these lessons in your present life. The future is something that you need to plan for, and then, concentrate on fructifying those plans; this can only be done in the present.

The Power of the NOW

When you break apart the human notion of time into innumerable moments, you find that every nanosecond was the present at some time or will be the present at some future time. Briefly put, the past and the future were and will be the ‘now’ at some point. This moment you are reading this and it is as real to you as the feel of the purest silk against your skin. But the very next second, you find that, that moment is dead, and no longer holds the same significance for you. It is merely a memory that will eventually fade into near nothingness. The only moment you truly know is the now, which is always there. Charlotte Gilman has rightly said, “Eternity is not something that begins after you are dead. It is going on all the time.”

By living in the past or the future, you are killing a life—your life. Because life is Now. Raise yourself from the living dead, wake up, and bask in the brightness of the present. Now is a very powerful word, much more powerful than the term Present, which we have learnt to brush aside as just another indicator of time. When you say ‘Now!‘ you feel shaken and stirred, like someone has poured cold water on your head. Now is your present, both literally and figuratively.

When you are sitting in the bus, do you think about where you have to go? Do you spend the entire ride worrying about whether you will be late or wondering if you will have a good time, wherever you are going? Try shifting your focus to the now for the next ride. Feel the texture of the seat, the sensation of moving along with the bus and so many other people, the rough wind blowing through the window and messing up your hair, the contrast of slums passing by juxtaposed with malls and multiplexes, the occasional act of chivalry when someone rises to let another sit, the expressions on your co-passengers faces, their clothes, the way the odour of the bus sticks to your clothes, and the countless other aspects of the whole experience.

When you do this, you might find yourself thinking about things you never thought about before—such as what would happen if you kept on riding on the bus forever? If, perhaps, life had some metaphorical similarity to a bus ride? Whether the bus driver enjoyed his work? If buses were the same in your grandmother’s time?

Break free from unnecessary shackles

Studies have shown that ninety percent of our thoughts are repeated from previous thoughts. We torture ourselves with the same mundane, uninspiring ideas everyday, so much so that we forget that things can be viewed in a new light, that the world undergoes a magical transformation every second. Capture the now and you will find unexplored vistas opening up before you. Perhaps you will come up with an idea that will stun the world; may be you will discover the key to solving the energy crisis; perhaps you will develop a new theory of metaphysics; or may be you will just feel unadulterated peace and happiness for a little while.

Just think of the treasure of good things that you will experience if you were to capture the now, every moment. This is living life the way it is meant to be lived, as a constant celebration of the fact that you are alive. Remember Margaret Bonnano’s words, “It is only possible to live happily-ever-after on a day-to-day basis.”

I found this from a site,,which is very touchy..

A little peace of mind seems hard to obtain in our daily schedule. Here are some amazing ways to find inner peace.

Reema is studying engineering. Her writing table has piles of assignments which she has to complete. She is worried about her pending term work and grades. Meanwhile she gets a text message from a friend that reminds her about project work they have to submit. Submissions have made her life topsy-turvy and deadlines have completely stressed her out. Sometimes she feels like screaming loudly, ‘give me a break’.

Our busy lives hardly give us time for ourselves. When was the last time you enjoyed your favourite book while lying on your bed? Most of us get time to read books while commuting. Reading newspaper is the task to complete when our cars get stuck in traffics. Have we forgotten to live a calm and composed life? Try finding peace with some simple techniques.

Practice meditation

Peace does not exist in the outside world, it dwells within our souls. Meditation has the power to calm down your mind completely. Regular practice of meditation is highly beneficial to cope up with stress. Meditation is like a magic spell which takes you to some other world where there is no stress and everything is peaceful. Make use of meditation music while meditating and experience tranquility and peace of mind.

Listen to music

Music has the power to uplift your moods. Some great and soothing music can immediately pull you out of the depression. No matter whether you are listening to Indian classical music or jazz, music that will soothe your mind and cheer up your mood is worth listening to. Finding peace becomes easy by listening to good music.

Control your anger

A famous quote goes ‘For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind.’ controlling your anger will help to obtain peace of mind. Anger management is the skill you have to learn in order to experience peace. It is okay to be emotional, but you need to be practical too. Manage your anger and enjoy a peaceful life.

Write a diary

Jotting down your emotions on a piece of paper is a way to release your stress. Writing your emotions will make you understand them better. Write down good and bad experiences you had and how did you feel about them. Slowly you will learn to tackle with bitter situations in life that destroy your inner peace. Find a solution for a particular problem rather than thinking why it happened to me.

Spend time with nature

What is the difference between gulping down a cold drink and sipping lemonade? That is the difference between concrete jungle and green meadows. We have forgotten the smell of fresh air as we are used to pollution in the cities. Take a break from your work or studies and go for a trek. A trail by a riverside is an amazing stress buster and thus fabulous way to find peace. Once in a year spend your time amidst trees and flowers away from the daily chaos.

Read books you like

Instead of bringing work at home, spend your Sunday afternoons reading your favorite books. There is nothing as pleasing as reading a book of your favorite author while comfortably resting under a warm blanket. Pick up some great titles that you find interesting from a local bookstall and enjoy each and every page. Peace is in things that we really enjoy doing.

Prayer

Prayer and mantras are secrets to find peace of mind. For some people chanting the name of god is a way to find peace. Chanting mantras, like the Gayatri Mantra can help you find peace. Prayers have tremendous power to let you acquire peace. Thus writer John Wooden has quoted, "There are many things that are essential to arriving at true peace of mind, and one of the most important is faith, which cannot be acquired without prayer."

Find time for yourself. When you will find time for yourself only then will you find peace within. Aromatic oils, scented candles, and melodic music will surely come for your aid, but being happy from within is the answer to your pursuit of finding peace. Exercise regularly, eat healthy food and keep smiling.

Peace of mind gets affected when our mind gets occupied with filthy emotions like anger, jealousy, sadness or envy. You will never find peace of mind until you listen to your heart, so be yourself and you will be experiencing peace soon.

VALUE LIFE
Do you value life? Do you consider it to be your greatest gift, your most valuable treasure or do you just drag
through life? Life is a beautiful journey for those who value it, for those who catch hold of it and don’t let it escape.
To them, life is more valuable than money because every fleeting moment of life that is gone is gone forever.
So, they treasure every moment, every day. They really value life. Do you value life? Do you give it all you have got?
Are you excited about life or are you just letting it slip away? Have your days, months and years escaped you?
It is not too late. Stop now. Transform your life and live.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE
What is the purpose of your life? Does your life have some meaning and direction? May be it could be your
passion to make a difference. Either you can choose to live life meaninglessly or you can get excited
about living a legacy, about doing something that will remain long after you are gone. There are countless
opportunities for each one of us to make a difference. Be it to serve suffering humanity or just by simply sharing
our life experiences. Each of these are capable of making a big difference. Life becomes beautiful when it is lived with
a purpose and still more glorious if that purpose is to make a difference
