BY GUESS AND BY GOSH

Gambling is an art - infact a trade of skills.
Not many cross the sea of inept risks - Drown
Only to be savaged by the jaws of the art itself.

Risks in Life are pretty much of the same calibre;
If One cant smell catastrophe when he handles gun-powder !
He has only himself to blame - Risks should be worth taking.
Do not mortgage your head to perform deadly stunts.

Value your Life. Make a value outta it. Only then Others will value U.
Assess the situation - Look before a leap, Avoid risks !

FIVE - FINGER DISCOUNT

A kid barged into a crowded toy shop.
Surfing though the collection at the retailer,
He picked up a remote car and strolled out.
FIVE - FINGER DISCOUNT !!!!

But the kid did not lose his identity.
In contemporary machine world, man pretends to be someone else.
Westernization - at what cost ?? U bury ur own identity !
Identity theft (literally) is worse than stealing at a toy shop

Its high time U discovered and preserved ur identity !

ON AN EVEN KEEL

Changes are routine of Life.
Man has learned to live with them.
Evolution is a process of progressive change
But, takes several thousand years !

Remaining the same person for a stretch of time;
is a skill - not everyone's dime :(

If our DNA was to change every now and then - MUTATIONS !
We will not be normal human beings !
Just imagine - if every cell of ours resists changes
Y cant WE ?

Be calm and do not change ; Maintain a personality !
Character should be on an even keel.

Whatever happens in Life; One has to move on.

For the whole of the nation,
Black - letter day it was !

Lets observe silence for those souls !

DELIRIUM

Two zebras are talking and one asks the other "Am I black with white stripes or white with black stripes?" The second zebra rather inconclusively replies,"Well, I do not know. Maybe U should ask God."That night he prayed to God, who, midst his busy schedule promptly replied,


"YOU ARE WHAT YOU ARE !!!!!!!"

Hard to believe, but its widely accepted like the saying -

Victory rests lightly on people who soak in the pressure and are light-footed in decision making.

Irrespective of what U are in Life, U represent either yourself or any other entity !

RAIN CHECK

More often than not, Decision - making proves to be tricky.
You never can tell what is the exact solution for a given problem.

The best methodology to be adopted is the "RAIN CHECK".
What seems wrong can turn right in the future; what seems right now can go horribly wrong as well. N' sometimes U know history can repeat itself - U will have to fall back to earlier decisions !!

So never fix in mind a particular plan or decision; Plan B is always more than handy !!!

Success is not easy; The path to glory is not trodden either .
Patience is the key - Smell of sweat is not sweet !

Bask in success ; Cherish the moment
For that , the wait is quite the worth :)

WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS

Progress is often compared to a Wheel ; Guess why ?

Each spokes of the "progress" wheel is due to several attributes that should be possessed by one to achieve glory in life.

Success seems to follow people who thrive in the moment with sheer hardwork;
Fortune favours the Brave;
Victory is for the Valour
But, Failure follows those afraid to face it !

When you start failing, it is more often a streak rather than a single incident :(
But....Wait patiently for the tide to turn ,
Form is temporary; Class is permanent !

BACK SEAT DRIVER

Once a business man had to cross a river for a stock exchange on the riverside. He boarded a boat which was rowed by a layman, whom he particularly didn't like just by the appearance and outfit. Through the course of the journey, he tried to outsmart the rower;

"Do U know bunky- jumping ? Its fun"! "

"Do U know skiing ? Its exhilarating !"

After posting the rhetoric questions, he smiled sarcastically, knowing that the rower would have no clue about them. When they were mid-way, the rower smiled sarcastically back at him; In a humble voice he asked the business man ,

"Do U know swimming ? Its not fun or exhilarating ! But certainly life-saving !!"

The business man was bamboozled by this reply because he never learnt swimming; and, the rower was pointing to a hole in the plank of the boat's bottom !!!

Moral : Before criticizing and advising others; look at yourself ! Don't be a backseat driver !!

BLUE MOON - "From Newspaper boy to President of India"

Perseverance, Hardwork and Patience, Dr.A.P.J.Abdul Kalam said, were alone the path to progress !

During his childhood, Kalam and his cousin went around the city distributing newspaper, after morning class. The family was devoid of electricity, so he had to spend hours of study under kerosene lamp - PERSEVERANCE !

At Madras Institute of Technology, for meeting a project deadline, his professor had pushed him into a state of stress. But Kalam bailed out of the situation due to intense hours of sincere and incessant efforts, even staying for long without food and sleep - HARDWORK !

His first major project , SLV- 3, failed terribly and he even admitted later that the sequel of events during those hard times had shattered part of him . But he never gave up; he persevered and was willing to put in hardwork. The next time SLV - 3 was launched, it was a grand success - PATIENCE !

A man who is an epitome and a symbol of inspiration ! We wish him a very warm birthday with all the gratitude for his service to the nation.

HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD

India vs. Australia series 2004 - 3rd ODI, Hyderabad :

Brad Hogg dismissed the Master Blaster for a mere 15 runs.  As a memo of the match, he approached Sachin for an autograph on that ball.

Sachin Tendulkar obliged to the request and added a beautiful line along with the signature;

"IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN"

Guess what .... Tendulkar faced Hogg 21 times in all - after that incident, but was never dismissed by the wily Brad Hogg

The perfect example of saying something ......exactly right !!!

APPLE OF MY EYE

This post is based on a true incident of Mother's sacrifice during the Japan Earthquake.


During the retrieval of the corpse of the victims of the earthquake, the excavation team found a woman kneeling down and supporting herself onto a pillar. She was crushed to death, but a woolen cloth was found underneath her. To everybody's surprise they found a 3 month old kid in it. A cellphone was found beside the kid with a recorded message, that swept the entire team into tears !!!


"If u survive, u must remember I love you !!"


For the woman, the child was the "apple of her eye"
