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.

Help them grow like us !

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 !!!

Share this to all Tendulkar fans

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"
