AC Ranking....


While researching to buy split A/C  hit an internet thread discussing this. Copying the relative ranking as is :)


General = BMW
Daikin = Mercedes
Mitsubishi = Audi
Toshiba = Jaguar
Sanyo = Volvo
Sharp = Mitsubishi
Panasonic = Honda
Hitachi = Skoda/FIAT
Whirlpool = FORD
Videocon = Maruti
Carrier = Mahindra
Blue Star = AL
Voltas = Telco
Samsung = Cycle
LG = Tri cycle
Onida = Tri cycle with one wheel missing

Needless to say higher quality comes with a higher price tag. Expect to pay steep premium for General as compared to Samsung/LG.

Why Indian Students are hated by the Americans ?



It was the first day of a school in USA and a new Indian student named Chandrasekhar Subramanian entered the fourth grade.



The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American History. Who said 'Give me Liberty , or give me Death'?"



She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Chandrasekhar, who had his hand up:?'Patrick Henry, 1775'he said.



'Very good! Who said 'Government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall not perish from the Earth?''



Again, no response except from Chandrasekhar. 'Abraham Lincoln , 1863' said Chandrasekhar.



The teacher snapped at the class, 'Class, you should be ashamed. Chandrasekhar, who is new to our country, knows more about our history than you do.'



She heard a loud whisper: 'F ___ the Indians,' 'Who said that?' she demanded. Chandrasekhar put his hand up. 'General Custer, 1862.'



At that point, a student in the back said, 'I'm gonna puke.'



The teacher glares around and asks 'All right! Now, who said that?' Again, Chandrasekhar says, 'George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991.'



Now furious, another student yells, 'Oh yeah? Suck this!'



Chandrasekhar jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher, 'Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky,1997'



Now with almost mob hysteria someone said 'You little shit. If you say anything else, I'll kill you.' Chandrasekhar frantically yells at the top of his voice, 'Michael Jackson to the child witnesses testifying against him, 2004.'



The teacher fainted. And as the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said, 'Oh shit, we're screwed!' And Chandrasekhar said quietly, 'I think it was Lehmann Brothers, November 4th, 2008'.

The Educators.. Nice one


Somewhere in the world a certain private school was facing a unique problem...

A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would
put it on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their
lipstick, they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip
prints.

Every night the maintenance man would remove them, and the next day the
girls would put them back.

Finally the principal decided that something had to be done.

She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the
maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a
major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night.
(You can just imagine the yawns from the little princesses).

To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, she asked
the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required.

He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned
the mirror with it.

Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.

There are teachers ... and then there are educators.

God is Missing............!!!!


Two little boys, ages 8 and 10, are extremely mischievous. They are always getting into trouble and their parents know all about it. If any mischief occurs in their town, the two boys are probably involved. The boys’ mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually.
So the mother sent the 8 year old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the preacher in the afternoon.
The preacher, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly,
“Do you know where God is, son?”
The boy’s mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open.

So the preacher repeated the question in an even
sterner tone, “Where is God?!”
Again, the boy made no attempt to answer. The preacher
raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy’s face and bellowed,
“Where is God?!”
The boy screamed and bolted from the room, ran directly home and dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him.When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, “what happened?”
The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, “We
are in BIG trouble this time.

Painting Is a Feeling


*******
 Painting is a feeling never spoil it,
face is book try to read it....
Love is precious being ready to sacrifice for it...
friendship is mirror try to never break it.....
*******
**** Good Morning.. ****

Obstacles helped these men earn MEGA success .. From Yahoo Campus

AT age 10, Julio was a little Spanish boy with a dream. He wanted to play football for his favourite club – Real Madrid! He played all day, practised hard and became a very good goalkeeper.
By the time he was 20, the childhood dream was beginning to come true. He was signed up to play for Real Madrid. And most football pundits were predicting that young Julio would soon become Spain’s No.1 goalkeeper.
One evening in 1963, Julio and his friends set out in a car for a night of fun. It turned out to be a night of horror, as the car they were travelling in met with a terrible accident. And young Julio – soon-to-be star goalkeeper of Real Madrid and Spain – found himself in hospital, paralysed from the waist downwards. Doctors were unsure if he’d ever be able to walk again. They were pretty sure he would never play football again.
The road to recovery was long and painful. Julio spent the night thinking about what might have been. His mind was filled with sorrow, anger, regret. To lessen the pain, he took to writing songs and poems at night, with a tear in his eye and a pen in his hand. And to increase the dexterity in his hand, a nurse gave him a guitar. He had never touched a guitar in his life! But soon Julio began strumming the guitar and also singing the songs that he had been writing.
After being bed-ridden for 18 months, Julio gradually picked up the pieces of his life. Five years after the accident, Julio entered a singing competition – and won the first prize - singing a song called “Life goes on the same!”
He never played football again. But with a guitar in hand and a song on his lips, Julio Iglesias went on to become one of the top ten singers in the history of music, selling over 300 million albums. Just imagine. If not for that accident, Julio Iglesias would have probably been just another goalkeeper in Europe!
What happened to Julio that evening in 1963 could happen to any of us. A setback or an accident – or failure - can often appear to be the end of the road. But it seldom is. When one door shuts, usually another one opens. It’s just that we get so busy staring at the closed door and banging our head against it that we fail to spot the other door opening. Learning to cope with failure is often the first – and most critical step – towards success.
Never let failure impact your sense of self-belief. You are a star, with unique talents. Didn’t clear the entrance exam to engineering college? Maybe you weren’t meant to be an engineer. That’s all.
Even Albert Einstein didn’t clear the entrance exam to join a polytechnic. But he didn’t do too badly, did he? Maybe there is a better, brighter career waiting for you. The trick is to move on and like Julio, tell yourself that “Life goes on the same”.
Several years ago, a bright little boy in a government school in Kerala had a dream. He wanted to be a doctor. He did well in school, and everybody was convinced that this little boy would someday become a fine doctor. He wrote the entrance exam – but failed to make the cut! He was devastated.
His parents were shocked. He went on to do a BSc then a Masters degree, worked with an IT firm – and later went on to found Infosys. His name? Kris Gopalakrishnan, CEO, Infosys. Just imagine. Had Kris not failed the medical entrance, he may have been in some little town in Kerala today, prescribing antibiotics for a runny nose or a nagging flu. Imagine!
Good lesson to learn from Julio. And from Kris. When one door shuts, another one opens. Just believe in yourself. Next time you are faced with a failure or a setback, look out for the other door. Push it open. And go find your place in the sun!

The Cracked Pot


A water bearer had two large pots, each hung on each end of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, and while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to the master's house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water to his master's house. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments, perfect to the end for which it was made. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do. After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream.
"I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you."
"Why?" asked the bearer. "What are you ashamed of?"
"I have been able, for these past two years, to deliver only half my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your master's house. Because of my flaws, you have to do all of this work, and you don't get full value from your efforts," the pot said.
The water bearer felt sorry for the old cracked pot, and in his compassion he said, "As we return to the master's house, I want you to notice the beautiful flowers along the path."
Indeed, as they went up the hill, the old cracked pot took notice of the sun warming the beautiful wild flowers on the side of the path, and this cheered it some. But at the end of the trail, it still felt bad because it had leaked out half its load, and so again it apologized to the bearer for its failure.
The bearer said to the pot, "Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of your path, but not on the other pot's side? That's because I have always known about your flaw, and I took advantage of it. I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back from the stream, you've watered them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate my master's table. Without you being just the way you are, he would not have this beauty to grace his house."
Each of us has our own unique flaws. We're all cracked pots. But if we will allow it, the Lord will use our flaws to grace His Father's table. Don't be afraid of your flaws. Acknowledge them, and allow Him to take advantage of them, and you, too, can be the cause of beauty in his pathway.

LET UR EGO GO

There was once a learned scientist.. 

After a lot of practice and efforts, he developed a formula and learned the art of reproducing himself. He did it so perfectly that it was impossible to tell the reproduction from the original. 


One day while doing his research, he realized that the Angel of Death was searching for him. In order to remain immortal he reproduced a dozen copies of himself. The reproduction was so meticulous that all of them looked exactly like him. Now when this Angel of Death came down, he was at a loss to know which of the thirteen before him was the original scientist, and confused, he left them all alone and returned back to heaven. 


But, not for long, for being an expert in human nature, the Angel came up with a clever idea. He said to the scientist addressing all thirteen of them, "Sir, you must be a genius to have succeeded in making such perfect reproduction formula of yourself. However, I have discovered a flaw in your work, just one tiny little flaw." 


The scientist immediately jumped out and shouted, Impossible! where is the flaw?" "Right here" said the Angel, as he picked up the scientist from among the reproductions and carried him off. 


The whole purpose of the scientist and his formula of reproduction failed as he could not control his pride and lost his life. 


So while one’s Knowledge and Skills takes one to the top of the ladder and makes one successful, however the three letter word "EGO" can pull one down immediately. 


Let go one’s Ego.

For a better India...



एक कल्पना कीजिए  .....
जिसने जन्म लिया है उसे एक दिन अवश्य मरना भी है, आपको भी 3 दिन बाद मरना है.  3 दिन बाद आपको फांसी दे दी जायेगी.  आपकी मौत निश्चित है....
अब आप उस मौत के दर्द को महसूस कीजिये ..... आपका परिवार और सब कुछ  छूट जायेगा .....
क्या आप अपने गले मे फांसी का फन्दा सोच कर कांप गये ????
अब सोचो भगत सिंह जैसे अनगिनत शहीदों को जो हंसते हंसते देश के लिये फांसी पर चढ़ गये थे  .....
महसूस करो उनके दर्द को, और देखो आज के  भ्रष्टाचार से भरे भारत को , क्या ऐसा भारत बनाने के लिये उन्होने अपनी जान की कुर्बानी दी थी ....
अब मरने की कल्पना से बाहर आइये और सोचिये ......
जब वो लोग देश के लिये मर सकते है तो क्या आप देश के लिये जी भी नहीं सकते ?????????
देश के लिये जिएँ  और अच्छा भारत बनाएँ,  अपने आप से शुरुआत  करें. आप बदलेंगे तभी देश बदलेगा .
भगवान आपको लम्बी उम्र  दे .........
अब एक और कल्पना कीजिये ...............
आप लम्बी उम्र जिएँ,  लेकिन ना आप बदलें,  ना देश बदले, 20-25 साल बाद आपके बच्चे, पोते, नाती सब एक ऐसे देश मे जी रहे हों जिसकी हालत सोमालिया आदि देशो से भी बदतर है, बेहिसाब आबादी है , हर तरफ मारकाट मची है,  कोई कानून नहीं है,  जंगलराज की सी हालत है , सभी जातियाँ कबीलों की तरह लड़  रही है . भूख से बेहाल गरीब अमीरों को लूट रहें हैं, अमीर उनपर गोलियां  चला रहे हैं ,  एक पल का भी भरोसा नहीं है कब कौन आपके बच्चों को अनाथ कर दे या बच्चो का अपहरण कर ले.  
क्या आप अपने बच्चों को ऐसा भारत देना चाहते हो ?  आप अपने  बच्चों को हर चीज देते है , अच्छी शिक्षा , अच्छे कपड़े, अच्छे गेजेट्स ....
फिर क्या आप उन्हे अच्छा भारत नहीं देंगे ??????
एक लाख अस्सी हजार करोड़  (18,00,00,00,00,000) का 2G स्पेक्ट्रम घोटाला, सत्तर हजार करोड का CWG घोटाला जैसे अनेक घोटालों ने देश को हिला कर रख दिया है. और आप चुपचाप है, आप कर भी क्या सकते है ?
आप सबकुछ कर सकते है , आप ही ने उन नेताओ को वोट देकर नेता बनाया था............
आप क्या क्या कर सकते हैं  ?
1. देश मे भ्रष्टाचार के खिलाफ सख्त कानून (जन लोकपाल) बनाने के लिये "भारत बनाम भ्रष्टाचार"  के बेनर तले देश में एक अन्दोलन चल रहा है जिसका नेतृत्व गणमान्य लोग जैसे स्वामी रामदेव, श्री रवि शंकर,   अन्ना हजारे, महमूद मदानी, दिल्ली के आर्कबिषप, किरण बेदी, अरविन्द केजरीवाल, स्वामी अग्निवेश, न्यायमूर्ति  लिंगदोह, मल्लिका साराभाइ आदि अनेक लोग कर रहे  हैं (अधिक जानकारी के लिये साइट देखें  http://www.indiaagainstcorruption.org/)
2. लोकतंत्र मे आप सबसे ताकतवर  हैं क्योंकि आप से वोट से सरकार बनती है,  सोचसमझ कर वोट दें ,  सिर्फ जाति और धर्म के आधार पर वोट ना दें .  भारत के सभी सभ्य और ईमानदार लोग भ्रष्टाचार  के खिलाफ एकजुट होकर एक वोट बैंक बना रहे  हैं आप उसमें  अपने आप को रजिस्टर करें  (http://voteforindia.org/).
3. अगर आप फेसबुक का उपयोग करते  हैं तो  जुड़ जाएं  http://www.facebook.com/IndiACor  से  ( इस लिंक पे क्लिक करे और फिर like पर क्लिक करे )
4. शक्ति संघे कलयुगे ( कलयुग में संगठन ही सबसे बड़ी  शक्ति  है ) , आज देश के सभी भ्रष्ट लोग (20% ) संगठित हैं  , जबकि हम सभी ईमानदार ( 80%) लोग बिखरे पड़े हैं , जिस से भ्रष्ट लोग हावी हैं ,  और हम  लोगो को संगठित नहीं होने देते, हमे धर्म, जाति, क्षेत्र आदि के नाम पे लड़वाते हैं जिस से हम एक ना हो. तथा देश की अधिकतर आबादी अनपढ़  बनी रहे. शोषित होने के लिये बाध्य रहे.  आप संगठित बनो, अपने दोस्तो को , पड़ोसियों को इस अन्दोलन के बारे में बताएं   (फूट डालो और राज करो की कुनीति  पहले अंग्रेज अपनाते थे अब ये नेता अपना रहे हैं )
Last but not theLeast
5. अपने सभी दोस्तों को ये ई-मेल  फॉरवर्ड करो (Forward this Email to all your friends. (सभी को नहीं तो कम से कम 5 दोस्तो को अवश्य करें, आपको भारत माँ की कसम).  आजादी की जंग में जब लोग फांसी पे हँसते हँसते चढ़ सकते हैं तो क्या आप अपने दोस्तों को एक ई-मेल भी फॉरवर्ड नहीं कर सकते?????

The Barbar Shop!


One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber replied, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The florist was pleased and left the shop. When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.

 Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The cop was happy and left the shop. The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.

Officer2: Ma’am, could you step out of your vehicle please!
The woman steps out of her vehicle.
Woman: Is there a problem sir?
Officer2: One of my officers told me that you have stolen this car and murdered the owner.

Officer2: One of my officers claims that you do not have a driving license.
The woman digs into her handbag and pulls out a clutch purse and hands it to the officer. The officer snaps opens the clutch purse and examines the license. He looks quite puzzled.
