hii…folks this one another story…I got from the net when i was browsing, so i thought I’ll post it out here…
Once upon a time one man was selling Hotdogs by the roadside. He was illiterate, so he never read newspapers. He was hard of hearing, so he never listened to the radio. His eyes were weak, so he never watched television. But enthusiastically, he sold lots of hotdogs. He was smart enough to offer some attractive schemes to increase his sales. His sales and profit went up. He ordered more a more raw material and buns and use to sale more. He recruited few more supporting staff to serve more customers. He started offering home deliveries. Eventually he got himself a bigger and better stove. As his business was growing, the son, who had recently graduated from College, joined his father.
Then something strange happened. The son asked, “Dad, aren’t you aware of the great recession that is coming our way?” The father replied, “No, but tell me about it.” The son said, “The international situation is terrible. The domestic situation is even worse. We should be prepared for the coming bad times” The man thought that since his son had been to college, read the papers, listened to the radio and watching TV, he thought to know and his advice should not be taken lightly.
So the next day onwards, the father cut down the his raw material order and buns, took down the colorful signboard, removed all the special schemes he was offering to the customers and was no longer as enthusiastic. He reduced his staff strength by giving layoffs. Very soon, fewer and fewer people bothered to stop at his hotdog stand.
As explained by his son suddenly his sales started coming down rapidly, same is the profit. The father said to his son, “Son, you were right. We are in the middle of a recession and crisis. I am glad you warned me ahead of time.”
The pursuit of happiness is a matter of choice…it is a positive attitude we consciously choose to express
Posted in my views on November 22, 2009 by shibsTwo men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour a day to drain the fluids from his lungs. His bed was next to the room’s only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.This is one of the those inspirational stories, that simply discribes as The pursuit of happiness is an inward journey.
The authur of this story is unknow till date, I have revieved this as a forward, It sure took my breath away…
The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation. And every afternoon when the man in the bed next to the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.
The man in the other bed would live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the outside world. The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake, the man had said. Ducks and swans played on thewater while children sailed their model boats. Lovers walked arm in arm amid flowers of every color of the rainbow. Grand old trees graced the landscape, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene. Read more »
2012…!!!

I guess people just rush to the theatres, simply because of the hype created that the world is gonna end soon. I was motivated to watch the movie because my brother told me its an awesome picture. If they had just put a decent story with these fabulous special effects, this could have really been something special.
Me and Arun went to see the movie at Inox, The special effects are mind blowing and it will keep you at the edge your seat, The movie never takes its foot off the accelerator, leaving the viewer with little time to breathe. You will be sorry if you have to take a bathroom break….lol
)
In the whole I would rate it a 3 of 5 , mainly because of the special effects. The plot is predictable and weak. I guess with the talented actors in the film they could have done much better. I felt the conservation between Chiwetel Ejiofor and his father ( not sure of the actors name ) is outstanding, hits your emotional side.
Tribute to the Indian who is living his dreams !!!

The expectations are huge, every time he is on the feild. Like my bro say’s ( die hard fan of sachin ) I can say my kid’s that I have lived in the era of sachin tendulkar. Sachin is a true motivational figure, Two decades in sport is more than a generation and he carries on and on–not wanting to think about the day he would have to stop playing the game.
here are some of those quotes that makes him stand out
” We didnt loose to a team called India…we lost to a man called sachin tendulkar ” ~ Mark Taylor
” During a Banglore test, Michael Kasprowicz, frustrated went to Dennis Lille and asked ” Do you see any weakness in Tendulkar ? ” Lillee replied, ” no Michael, as long as you walk off with your pride that’s all you can do ” ~ Sharne warne
”Beneath the helmet, under that unruly curly hair, inside the cranium, there is something we don’t know, something beyond scientific measure. Something that allows him to soar, to roam a territory of sport that, …forget us, even those who are gifted enough to play alongside him cannot even fathom. When he goes out to bat, people switch on their television sets and switch off their lives” – BBC Sports
Bike accident – one wacky story to tell!!!!
Posted in my views with tags bike accident, dharmashala, shibu tharol, splender NXG, tharol, titans 26 on November 13, 2009 by shibs
Now when I look into my left palm, i cannot see accident scars anymore, I feel must relieved. But then it wasn’t the same a couple of weeks back.
28th nov, was when the accident happened, the date was fresh in my head because that was a day prior to my travel to chennai. In the evening I was bored at home, so I headed to the near by inet cafe to annoy people who come online.
But then the systems were full and I had to head back home. On my way back home, One fellow requested for a lift ( ya…I know ), I said ” sure, Hope On “. After a moment, when the bike was in motion, a tipper lorry over took us from the right and came real close to my bike , unfortunately the hook at the edge of the lorry got clinked to the handle of my bike that forced the handle to incline at an angle and pushed me off the bike.

- Spleder Nxg
I got my first bike in my Final year; I was keen on sticking to hero Honda, simply because I was used taking Shakir’s splendor. I always knew that hero Honda an edge over the others over it’s millage.
I spent nearly a week looking for which bike to buy, I liked hero Honda’s hunk, the base price was around 65k then. But my budget was 50k.so obviously I couldn’t go with Hunk, so the next one with a lower price tag was splendor series and passion series. Passion came up to 55k ( on road ) were as the splendor series came below 48k ( on road ).
Passion was a descent buy for the price it offered but then the design was so common and didn’t offer any new features from it’s previous versions , except for it alloy wheels. That is when I gave a glance on hero Honda’s new babe in the splendor NXG.
The bike was unique from the other splendor series and had an awesome upgrade like a new body design, fuel cock lock system, new silencer design and speedometer ( only one dial ), however one disappointment is the throttle design, hero Honda has kept the U bend, I would have preferred a more linear one like the the CBZ or apache RTR. Another disappointment was the absence of self ignition (probably done to cut down cost).
Ram and me went to book the bike and later me and Arun picked the color of the bike, The first time I rode the bike, I was a bit nervous and had a crazy notion of all the possible accidents going through by head, after a couple of Days I got it registered ( TN BB 07 3560 ).
For the first few day’s it was annoying to go below 60km/hr, since it was good for the engine, and would improve the millage. Hence I had to go in the economy level till the first service. But then after that was no stop. I touched 90km/hr in tidal park road before my second service.
the chennai connection !!!!!

chennai, an amazing plaace that I spent for the pas 6yrs and I must say, I had an amazing time out here,
three years of diploma and now another 3 years of engineering. I guess I learned life, the hard way out here,
and met up some extra ordinary people over her espec. the titanz, varun, rakesh and ram’s amazing set of
friends.
One of the best places that I am gonna miss is the IIT campus, that’s one of our favourite hid out, I usually
have dinner out,the place is opposite to anna university, actually the entry is restricted but then we
have a friend out there it’s easier for us to sneak in. ( cont / )
