-------------
This is strange. Can you figure it out? Are you the 2% or 98% of the population?
Follow the instructions! NO PEEKING AHEAD!
Do the following exercise...!
It is guaranteed to raise an eyebrow.
There's no trick or surprise.
Just follow these instructions
Answer the questions one at a time and as quickly as you can.
Again, as quickly as you can but don't advance until you've done each of them
Now, scroll down (but not too fast, you might miss something.)
Think of a number from 1 to 10
Multiply that number by 9
If the number is a 2-digit number, add the digits together
Now subtract 5
Determine which letter in the alphabet corresponds to the number you ended up with
(Example: 1=a, 2=b, 3=c, etc.)
Think of a country that starts with that letter.
Remember the last letter of the name of that country.
Think of the name of an animal that starts with that letter.

Silly questions with smart answers
-----------------------------------
1) MARY : Some say I'm pretty. Others say
I'm ugly.What do u think,
Peter?
PETER : A bit of both. I think you're
pretty ugly.
2) Teacher : "Which is more important
to us, the sun or the moon?"
Pupil : "The moon".
Teacher : "Why?"
Pupil : "The moon gives us light at
night when we need it but the sun
gives us light only in the day time
when we don't need it".
3) Teacher : "What do you call a
person who keeps on talking when
people are no longer interested?"
Pupil : "A teacher".
4) Waiter : "Would you like your
coffee black?"
Customer : "What other colors do you
have?"
5) My father is so old that when he
was in school, history was called
current affairs.
6) Teacher : "Sam, you talk a lot !"
Sam : "It's a family tradition".
Teacher : "What do you mean?"
Sam : "Sir, my grandpa was a street
hawker, my father is a teacher".
Teacher : "What about your mother?"
Sam : "She's a woman".
7) Tom : "How should I convey the news
to my father that I've failed?"
David: "You just send a telegram:
Result declared, past year's
performance repeated".
8) Teacher : "Now, children, if I saw
a man beating a donkey and stopped
him, what virtue would I be showing?"
Student : "Brotherly love".
9) Teacher : "Now, Sam, tell me
frankly do you say prayers before
eating?"
Sam : "No sir, I don't have to, my mom
is a good cook".
10) Patient : "What are the chances of
my recovering doctor?"
Doctor : "One hundred percent. Medical
records show that nine out of ten
people die of the disease you have.
Yours is the tenth case I've treated.
The others all died".
11) Teacher : " Can anybody give an
example of COINCIDENCE? "
One Student : "Sir, my Mother and
Father got married on the same day and
at the same time."
12) Teacher : " George Washington not

tree, but also admitted doing it.

THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELLPHONE COULD DO There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies. Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival.
Check out the things that you can do with it: -
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 EMERGENCY * The Emergency Number worldwide for **Mobile** is 112 .* If you find yourself out of coverage area of your mobile network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. **Try it out.**
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 Have you locked your keys in the car? Does you car have remote keys? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other "remote" for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 Hidden Battery power Imagine your cell battery is very low , you are expecting an important call and you don't have a charger. Nokia instrument comes with a reserve battery. To activate, press the keys *3370# Your cell will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell next time.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits on your phone: * # 0 6 # A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. when your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless.You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 Be care while using your mobile phone When you try to call someone through mobile phone,don't put your mobile closer to your ears until the recipient answers. Because directly after dialing, the mobile phone would use it's maximum signaling power, which is: 2watts = 33dbi Please Be Careful, Message as received (Save your brain) Please use left ear while using cell (mobile), because if you use the right one it will affect brain directly. This is a true fact from Apollo medical team.

Now my dear friends this may sound useless to some people..!!! But this is the matter of utmost cocern in daytoday life.
In this modern life everyone is busy with thier work.. while advancements in almost all the fields has made man into a machine and the rate of bike users is increasing day by day.
now the bikes which the younger generation use is unlike the old ones... where they prefer a bike with a minimum of 150cc and bikes have become fashionable and they find it as a source of attracting the opposite sex..
And most of the bike users are speed crazed. there is no harm in speeding..unless we are careful enough to protect ourselves.. the rate of bike accidents and the death rate due to those accidents keep increasing day by day..
WHY...????
It's all because of one careless action- NOT USING HELMET..!!!
Helmet protects u from the major form of head injury and prevents the main cause for death in a bike accident.
So I request all the young bloods and guns... who are leaping at this young age...
U have still more to achieve..!!
most of them die at a very young age where there life actually starts.
BEAR A CAUSE AND WEAR A HELMET...!!!
Let us join hands for a noble cause
Pass this on to all those whom u really care..!!

Never lick envelope or stamp
One day a girl licked the envelopes and postage stamps instead of using a sponge. That very day the lady found a cut on her tongue. A week later, she noticed an abnormal swelling of her tongue. She went to the doctor, and they found nothing wrong. Her tongue was not sore or anything. A couple of days later, her tongue started to swell more, and it began to get really sore, so sore, that she could not eat. She went back to the hospital, and demanded something be done. The doctor took an x-ray of her tongue and noticed a lump. He prepared her for minor surgery. When the doctor cut her tongue open, a live cockroach crawled out!!!! There were cockroach eggs on the seal of the envelope. The egg was able to hatch inside of her tongue, because of her saliva. It was warm and moist... This is a true story reported on CNN. Andy Hume wrote: Hey, I used to work in an envelope factory. You wouldn't believe the....things that float around in those gum applicator trays. I haven't licked an envelope for years!" I used to work for a print shop (32 years ago) and we were told NEVER to lick the envelopes. I never understood why until I had to go into storage and pull out 2500 envelopes that were already printed and saw several squads of cockroaches roaming around inside a couple of boxes with eggs everywhere. They eat the glue on the envelopes. PLEASE PASS THIS ON, TO YOUR FRIENDS. After reading this you will never lick envelope or stamp

Heart attack and drinking
warm water
Please read this and forward it to those you care.
Heart Attacks and drinking warm water....
This is a very good article. Not only about the warm water after your
meal,
but about heart attacks. This makes sense.. the Chinese and Japanese
drink
hot tea with their meals...not cold water...maybe it is time we adopt
their
drinking habit while eating!!!
Nothing to lose, everything to gain...
For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to
you.
It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold
water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just c onsumed. It
will
slow down the digestion. Once this "sludge" reacts with the acid, it
will
break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food.
It
will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead
to
cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.
A serious note about heart attacks: You should know that not every
heart
attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense
pain in the jaw line.
You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart
attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of
people
who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in
the
jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The
more we know, the better chance we could survive...
Read this...It could save your life!! ..
HEALTH BYTEApple, the Wonder Fruit ( Modified)Most of us are familiar with the tale that originated from Switzerland ofWilliam Tell when an Apple was placed on the head of his son and Tell wasordered to split the apple with his arrow or lose his son. Of course Tellsucceeded in piercing the apple into two and saved his son. Again we haveheard of Adam's apple. The story goes that in the Garden of Eden, Adam atea piece of the forbidden fruit that got stuck in his throat, and thus theterm Adam’s Apple. An Adam's apple sometimes looks like a small, roundedapple just under the skin in the front of the throat, usually seen in boys.Now let’s have some interesting facts about Apples and how they aid in goodhealth
The Greek and Roman mythology refer to apples as symbols of love and beautybut Apple contain vitamins like Vitamin C, Beta-Carotene, iron andpotassium etc., The Vitamin C content may not be as good as Oranges butapples have very high mineral contents, pectins, malic acid which are goodin normalizing the intestines. Apple is good for treatment of anaemia,dysentery, heart disease, headache, eye disorders, kidney stones andpromotes vigour and vitality. Apple juice is good to overcome a liverishfeeling, further, apples are unlikely to cause allergic reactions and areexcellent means of providing essential fluids to the body.A popular saying about apples is that apples combine the best attributes ofsomething old and something new. A number of components in apples, havebeen found in studies to lower blood cholesterol with a reduced risk ofischemic heart disease, stroke, prostrate cancer, type II diabetes andasthma. A new study whose findings have been published in the Journal ofAlzheimer’s Disease is sure to bring cheers for people suffering from thisstrange disease.This study suggests that eating and drinking apples and apple juice, inconjunction with a balanced diet, can protect the brain from the effects ofoxidative stress- and that we should eat such antioxidant-rich foods.Apples are also good for treatment of the Acid reflux condition also calledgerd (gastro esophageal reflux disease).
It is well said that we should have in our diet apart from vegetables,fresh coloured fruits like Yellow Apples, Green Apples, Red Apples etc.,which are easily available considering that we have some of the best Applescoming fro m places like Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh etc., Of course importedapples like Washington apples and Australian apples are available at bigdepartmental stores. Some of the well known apple varieties are GoldenNoble, Bramleys etc., As in vegetables like carrot, the colours in fruitslike Apples are indicative of good health as shown below:Green Apples- Good for strong bones and teeth, aids in vision, anti cancerproperties.Yellow Apples- Good for heart and eyes, immune system, reduce risk of somecancersRed Apples- Good for heart, Memory function, lower risk of some cancers andto maintain urinary tract healthSo lets seize the opportunity to grab as much apples as we can in our dietfor good health for the whole family.

One day, three consultants, one from Wipro, one from Infosys and one fromTCS, went out for a walk."Why don't we prove who is the best among ourselves?"Why not, said the other two.
The Infosian said "Let's have a test. Whoever makes this monkey laugh,works for the best firm".
Being a pure logical strategist, the person from TCS tried to make themonkey Laugh by telling jokes. The monkey stayed still.As a more practical consultant, the Wipro guy tried to make funnygestures... No good, the monkey stayed put...Now, comes the Infosian.
Being the practical guy he was always trained tobe, he whispered something into the monkey's ear, and it burst out laughingat him ..The other two were astonished. So the Wipro guy said "OK, let's takeanother test. Let's make this monkey cry!!"So there they went again, applying the same methods as before.
The TCS guynarrated sad stories, the Wipro guy made sad gestures, and they failedagain...Then, the Infosian again whispered something into the monkey's ear and oh!It started crying, patting the Infosian's shoulder!The other two just could not believe their eyes! So the tcs guy said "OK,you've won twice. If you can win just this one, we will bow to you.
Let'smake this monkey run". and he barked at the monkey and ordered him to run.Of course, it stayedwhere it was.. The Wipro guy, true to his type, pushed and prodded themonkey- still No go.So...here comes Infosian, again, and whispers into the monkey's ear. TheMonkey just takes off! It runs and runs as fast as it can, as if it wasscared to death!The other two surrendered.
They Said: "OK, we give up.You're the best among us, and you work for the Best firm of the three. ButPlease, please tell us your secret," they begged him."Well", said the Infosian, "The first time I made it laugh, I told I workfor Infosys.
The next time, I told the monkey how much I get paid ...so itstarted crying.And then I told that I was here for recruitment! !!
One day, three consultants, one from Wipro, one from Infosys and one fromTCS, went out for a walk."Why don't we prove who is the best among ourselves?"Why not, said the other two.

The TCS guynarrated sad stories, the Wipro guy made sad gestures, and they failedagain...Then, the Infosian again whispered something into the monkey's ear and oh!It started crying, patting the Infosian's shoulder!The other two just could not believe their eyes! So the tcs guy said "OK,you've won twice. If you can win just this one, we will bow to you.
Let'smake this monkey run". and he barked at the monkey and ordered him to run.Of course, it stayedwhere it was.. The Wipro guy, true to his type, pushed and prodded themonkey- still No go.So...here comes Infosian, again, and whispers into the monkey's ear. TheMonkey just takes off! It runs and runs as fast as it can, as if it wasscared to death!The other two surrendered.
They Said: "OK, we give up.You're the best among us, and you work for the Best firm of the three. ButPlease, please tell us your secret," they begged him."Well", said the Infosian, "The first time I made it laugh, I told I workfor Infosys.
The next time, I told the monkey how much I get paid ...so itstarted crying.And then I told that I was here for recruitment! !!

A Wonderful Story
A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white
beards
sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said "I
don't
think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have
something to eat."
"Is the man of the house home?", they asked.
"No", she replied. "He's out."
"Then we cannot come in", they replied.
In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had
happened.
"Go tell them I am home and invite them in!"
The woman went out and invited the men in"
"We do not go into a House together," they replied.
"Why is that?" she asked.
One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said pointing to
one
of his friends, and said pointing to another one, "He is Success, and I
am
Love." Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which
one of
us you want in your home."
The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband
was
overjoyed. "How n ice!!", he said. "Since that is the case, let us
invite
Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!"
His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?"
Their daughter was listening from the other corner of the house. She
jumped
in with her own suggestion: "Would it not be better to invite Love?
Our
home will then be filled with love!"
"Let us heed our daughter's advice," said the husband to his wife.
"Go out and invite Love to be our guest."
The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, "Which one of you is
Love?
Please come in and be our guest."
Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other 2 also got
up
and followed him. Surprised, t he lady asked Wealth and Success: "I
only
invited Love, Why are you coming in?"
The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success,
the
other two of us would've stayed out, but since you invited Love,
wherever
He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth
and
Success!!!!!!"
MY WISH FOR YOU...
-Where there is pain, I wish you peace and mercy.
-Where there is self-doubting, I wish you a renewed confidence in
your
ability to work through it.
-Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion, I wish you understanding,
patience, and renewed strength.
-Where there is fear, I wish you love, and courage.

The Jana Gana Mana - Indian National Anthem was a historic video
released
January 26, 2000 to mark the 50th year of the Indian Republic. It has
the
distinction of being released by the then President of India, in the
Central Hall of the Indian Parliament. It was produced by Bharat Bala
and
Kanika Myer and published by Ministry of Culture, Youth Affairs and
Sports,
Government of India.
Bharat Bala and A. R. Rahman came together to create a historic album
called ‘Jana Gana Mana’. This was a project in which over 35 top
artistes
of the nation came together to sing or play the Indian National Anthem,
“Jana Gana Manaâ€. The project had started as “Desh Ka Salaamâ€
which was
telecast in Indian TV channels and on the web on August 15, 1999, in
which
several great Indian musicians, from the classical to the contemporary,
came together to give a soulful and modern rendition of the National
Anthem. The video was released on January 26, 2000.
The Making of the Video
Bharat Bala and Kanika had been working together on various projects
such
as Vande Mataram (1996, 1998) and Desh Ka Salaam (1999) when they
realised
that there was not a single popular rendering of the Indian National
Anthem. They thus decided to re-create the National Anthem in a year
2000
version, something that should be ‘inspiring for young people to
listen
to.’
Bharat Bala Productions roped in A R Rahman to produce the music and 60
artistes were taken to Ladakh in North India to film the video for the
instrumental version of the video. The final instrumental was a
40-piece
string section along with Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma, Vikku Vinayakram
and
other instrumental maestros of Indian classical music. Most of the
performances included two generations of maestros - fathers and sons.
In
Kanika’s words, “It was a huge musical unification… this anthem
has so much
of soul.â€
It is also notable that during the filming of the anthem with the
Ladakh
Scouts, there were about 500 jawans who fought during the Kargil war.
The
producers hoisted a huge flag about 40 feet long for the video in their
honour.
Thota Tharini, an artist based out of Madras painted what is now the
Vande
Mataram logo for the video.
Music
The music was produced and arranged by A R Rahman. The video was
produced
by Bharat Bala Productions.

Please do your part and send it on, I did mine.
It may just be one of US it saves.
STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Steps
STR OKE IDENTIFICATION: During a party, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm , Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the party. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some ?don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this... A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke... totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.
RECOGNIZING A STR OKE Thank God for the sense to remember the "3" steps, STR . Read and Learn! Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions: S *Ask the individual to SMILE . T *Ask the person to TALK , to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently: It is sunny out today.) R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS. {NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue... if the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke} If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency services immediately and describe the symptoms. This is URGENT A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.
It may just be one of US it saves.

An Amazing Love Story
He met her on a party. She was so outstanding, many guys chasing after her,while he so normal, nobody paid attention to him. At the end of the party,he invited her to have coffee with him, she was surprised, but due to beingpolite, she promised. They sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous tosay anything, she felt uncomfortable, she thought, please, let me gohome.... suddenly he asked the waiter. "would you please give me some salt?I'd like to put it in my coffee."
Everybody stared at him, so strange! His face turned red, but still, he putthe salt in his coffee and drank it. She asked him curiously; why you havethis hobby? He replied: "when I was a little boy, I was living near thesea, I like playing in the sea, I could feel the taste of the sea, justlike the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee,I always think of my childhood, think of my hometown, I miss my hometown somuch, I miss my parents who are still living there". While saying thattears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched.
That's his true feeling, from the bottom of his heart. A man who can tellout his homesickness, he must be a man who loves home, cares about home,has responsibility of home. Then she also started to speak, spoke about herfaraway hometown, her childhood, her family. That was a really nice talk,also a beautiful beginning of their story.
They continued to date. She found that actually he was a man who meets allher demands; he had tolerance, was kind hearted, warm, careful. He was sucha good person but she almost missed him! Thanks to his salty coffee!Then the story was just like every beautiful love story , the princessmarried to the prince, then they were living the happy life... And, everytime she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee e, as sheknew that's the way he liked it.
After 40 years, he passed away, left her a letter which said: "My dearest,
to you---the salty coffee. Remember the first time we dated? I was sonervous at that time, actually I wanted some sugar, but I said salt It washard for me to change so I just went ahead.I never thought that could bethe start of our communication! I tried to tell you the truth many times inmy life, but I was too afraid to do that, as I have promised not to lie toyou for anything..Now I'm dying, I afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth: I don't likethe salty coffee, what a strange bad taste.. But I have had the saltycoffee for my whole life! Since I knew you, I never feel sorry for anythingI do for you. Having you with me is my biggest happiness for my whole life.If I can live for the second time, still want to know you and have you formy whole life,even though I have to drink the salty coffee again".Her tears made the letter totally wet.Someday, someone asked her: what'sthe taste of salty coffee?It's sweet.
She replied.Love is not 2 forget but 2 forgive, not 2 c but 2 understand, not 2 hearbut 2 listen, not 2 let go but 2 HOLD ON !!!!Don't ever leave the one you love for the one you like, because the one youlike will leave you for the one they love.

How Roshan D'Mello (QA Tester) frustrates developer (Mukesh Thakur)Roshan D'Mello: Hey Mukesh, there is a bug in your code. Type a text inuser name text box and press enter. Beep sound doesn't appear.Mukesh Thakur: How can that be a bug? There is no requirement that beepsound should come. Anyway, I will assign it to offshore and get it fixed.After 2 days,Mukesh Thakur: Roshan, bug is fixed. Please verify.After another 2 days,Roshan D'Mello: I have re-opened the bug because sound is not coming insome PCs. Sound is coming in my machine, but my colleague Rajat Choudhry isnot getting the sound.After another 2 days,Mukesh Thakur: Not a bug. I observed that your friend Rajat Choudhry hasold IBM machine. Unlike your DELL machine, IBM machines do not have inbuiltspeakers. So, to hear the sound in Rajat Choudhry's machine, please usehead phones and then get the bug closed soon.Another 2 days,Roshan D'Mello: I have re-opened the bug because sound tone is differentacross different machines. Sound is coming as 'BEEP' in my machine, but mycolleague Rajat Choudhry who is having IBM machine is getting the sound as'TONG'.Mukesh Thakur: Not a bug. Get lost man. What can we do for the bug? The twomachines are built in such a way that they produce different sounds. Do youexpect the developers to rebuild the IBM processors to make them uniform?Please close it.Another 2 days,Roshan D'Mello: I have re-opened the bug because intensity of beep soundproduced on 2 different DELL machines is different. My machine producesbeep sound of intensity 10 decibels whereas my friend's machine producessound worth 20 decibels. Fix your code to make the sound uniform across allmachines.Another 2 days later,Mukesh Thakur: Once again it is not a bug. I have noticed that the volumeset is different on the two machines. Ensure that volume is same in boththe machines before I get mad and then close the bug.Another 2 days,Roshan D'Mello: I have re-opened the bug.Mukesh Thakur: What ?? Why? What more stupid reasons can be there forre-opening?Roshan D'Mello: Sound intensity is different for machines placed atdifferent locations (different buildings). So, I have re-opened it.After 2 days,Mukesh Thakur: I have made some scientists do an acoustical analysis of thetwo buildings you used for testing. They have observed that the acousticsin the two buildings varies to a large extent. That is why sound intensityis different across the 2 buildings. So, I beg you to please close thebugs.After 1 yearRoshan D'Mello: I am re-opeing the bug. During the year, I requested theclients to arrange architects to build two buildings with same acousticalfeatures, so that I can test it again. Now, when I tested, I found thatintensity of sound still varying. So, I am re-opening the defect.Mukesh Thakur: GROWLLLL.....I am really mad now. I am sure that the soundwaves of the two buildings are getting distorted due to some backgroundnoice or something. Now I need to waste time to prove that it is because ofbackground noice.Roshan D'Mello: No need for that. We will put the machines and run themin vacuum and see.Mukesh Thakur: (not alive)

Modern Panchatantra
Here is a tale from the Modern Panchatantra contributed by Syed AkhterOnce upon a time, there was a software engineer who used to developprograms on his Pentium machine, sitting under a tree on the banks of ariver. He used to earn his bread by selling those programs in the Sundaymarket.One day, while he was working, his machine tumbled off the table and fellin the river. Encouraged by the Panchatantra story of his childhood (TheWoodcutter and the Axe), he started praying to the River Goddess.The River Goddess wanted to test him and so appeared only after one monthof rigorous prayers. The engineer told her that he had lost his computer inthe river. As usual, the Goddess wanted to test his honesty.She showed him a match box and asked, "Is this your computer?"Disappointed by the Goddess' lack of computer awareness, the engineerreplied, "No."She next showed him a pocket-sized calculator and asked if that was his.Annoyed, the engineer said "No, not at all!!"Finally, she came up with his own Pentium machine and asked if it was his.The engineer, left with no option, sighed and said "Yes."The River Goddess was happy with his honesty. She was about to give him allthree items, but before she could make the offer, the engineer asked her,"Don't you know that you're supposed to show me some better computersbefore bringing up my own?"The River Goddess, angered at this, replied, "I know that, you stupididiot! The first two things I showed you were the Trillennium and theBillennium, the latest computers from IBM!" So saying, she disappeared withthe Pentium!!Moral: If you're not up-to-date with technology trends, it is better keepsilent and let people think you're a genius, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt!!!

The post lays outthe following train of thought. "An all white web page uses about 74 wattsto display, while an all black page uses only 59 watts." Google, which hasa white background and gets about "200 million queries a day" could reduceglobal energy use by 750 Megawatt-hours a year by simply changing the colorof its homepage to black.In response to this post a black version of Google emerged calledBlackle.com. According to Blackle's homepage at publication time, 4,408.917Watt hours have been saved by. Nice ideas. But how does the search measureup? Very well indeed. Give it a whirl yourself and start saving energy onesearch at a time. ::

The President of IndiaDR. A. P. J. Abdul Kalaam's Speech in Hyderabad
"I have three visions for India.In 3000 years of our history, people from all over the world have come andinvaded us, captured our lands, conquered our minds. From Alexanderonwards. The Greeks, the Turks, the Moguls, the Portuguese, the British,the French, the Dutch, all of them came and looted us, took over what wasours. Yet we have not done this to any other nation. We have not conqueredanyone. We have not grabbed their land, their culture, their history andtried to enforce our way of life on them. Why? Because we respect thefreedom of others. That is why my first vision is that of FREEDOM. Ibelieve that India got its first vision of this in 1857, when we startedthe war of independence. It is this freedom that we must protect andnurture and build on. If we are not free, no one will respect us.My second vision for India is DEVELOPMENT. For fifty years we have been adeveloping nation. It is time we see ourselves as a developed nation. Weare among top 5 nations of the world in terms of GDP. We have 10 percentgrowth rate in most areas. Our poverty levels are falling. Our achievementsare being globally recognized today. Yet we lack the self-confidence to seeourselves as a developed nation, self-reliant and self-assured. Isn't thisincorrect?I have a THIRD vision. India must stand up to the world. Because I believethat, unless India stands up to the world, no one will respect us. OnlySTRENGTH respects strength. We must be strong not only as a military powerbut also as an economic power. Both must go hand-in-hand. My good fortunewas to have worked with three great minds. Dr. Vikram Sarabhai of the Dept.of space, Professor Satish Dhawan, who succeeded him and Dr.Brahm Prakash,father of nuclear material. I was lucky to have worked with all three ofthem closely and consider this the great opportunity of my life.I see four milestones in my career:Twenty years I spent in ISRO. I was given the opportunity to be the projectdirector for India's first satellite launch vehicle, SLV3. The one thatlaunched Rohini. These years played a very important role in my life ofScientist. After my ISRO years, I joined DRDO and got a chance to be thepart of India's guided missile program. It was my second bliss when Agnimet its mission requirements in 1994. The Dept. of Atomic Energy and DRDOhad this tremendous partnership in the recent nuclear tests, on May 11 and13. This was the third bliss. The joy of participating with my team inthese nuclear tests and proving to the world that India can make it, thatwe are no longer a developing nation but one of them. It made me feel veryproud as an Indian. The fact that we have now developed for Agni a re-entrystructure, for which we have developed this new material. A very lightmaterial called carbon-carbon.One day an orthopedic surgeon from Nizam Institute of Medical Sciencesvisited my laboratory. He lifted the material and found it so light! thathe took me to his hospital and showed me his patients.There were these little girls and boys with heavy metallic calipersweighing over three Kg. each, dragging their feet around.He said to me: Please remove the pain of my patients. In three weeks, wemade these Floor reaction Orthosis 300-gram calipers and took them to theorthopedic centre. The children didn't believe their eyes. From draggingaround a three kg. load on their legs, they could now move around! Theirparents had tears in their eyes. That was my fourth bliss!Why is the media here so negative? Why are we in India so embarrassed torecognize our own strengths, our achievements? We are such a great nation.We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledgethem.Why? We are the first in milk production. We are number one in Remotesensing satellites. We are the second largest producer of wheat. We are thesecond largest producer of rice. Look at Dr. Sudarshan, he has transferredthe tribal village into a self-sustaining, self-driving unit.There are millions of such achievements but our media is only obsessed inthe bad news and failures and disasters. I was in Tel Aviv once and I wasreading the Israeli newspaper. It was the day after a lot of attacks andbombardments and deaths had taken place. The Hamas had struck. But thefront page of the newspaper had the picture of a Jewish gentleman who infive years had transformed his desert land into an orchid and a granary. Itwas this inspiring picture that everyone woke up to. The gory details ofkillings, bombardments, deaths, were inside in the newspaper, buried amongother news.In India we only read about death, sickness, terrorism, crime. Why are weso NEGATIVE?Another question: Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign things?We want foreign T.Vs, we want foreign shirts. We want foreign technology.Why this obsession with everything imported. Do we not realize thatself-respect comes with self-reliance?I was in Hyderabad giving this lecture, when a 14 year old girl asked mefor my autograph. I asked her what her goal in life is. She replied: I wantto live in a developed India. For her, you and I will have to build thisdeveloped India. You must proclaim. India is not an under-developed nation;it is a highly developed nation.Do you have 10 minutes? Allow me to come back with a vengeance. Got 10minutes for your country? If yes, then read; otherwise, choice is yours.YOU say that our government is inefficient.YOU say that our laws are too old.YOU say that the municipality does not pick up the garbage.YOU say that the phones don't work, the railways are a joke, The airline isthe worst in the world, mails never reach their destination.YOU say that our country has been fed to the dogs and is the absolute pits.YOU say, say and say.What do YOU do about it?Take a person on his way to Singapore. Give him a name - YOURS. Give him aface - YOURS.YOU walk out of the airport and you are at your International best. InSingapore you don't throw cigarette butts on the roads or eat in thestores.YOU are as proud of their Underground links as they are. You pay $5(approx. Rs.60) to drive through Orchard Road (equivalent of Mahim Causewayor Pedder Road) between 5 PM and 8 PM.YOU come back to the parking lot to punch your parking ticket if you haveover stayed in a restaurant or a shopping mall irrespective of your statusidentity. .In Singapore you don't say anything, DO YOU? YOU wouldn't dare to eat inpublic during Ramadan, in Dubai. YOU would not dare to go out without yourhead covered in Jeddah. YOU would not dare to buy an employee of thetelephone exchange in London at 10 pounds ( Rs.650) a month to, "see to itthat my STD and ISD calls are billed to someone else."YOU would not dare to speed beyond 55 mph (88 km/h) in Washington and thentell the traffic cop, "Jaanta hai main kaun hoon (Do you know who I am?).I am so and so's son. Take your two bucks and get lost."YOU wouldn't chuck an empty coconut shell anywhere other than the garbagepail on the beaches in Australia and New Zealand.Why don't YOU spit Paan on the streets of Tokyo?Why don't YOU use examination jockeys or buy fake certificates in Boston???We are still talking of the same YOU.YOU who can respect and conform to a foreign system in other countries butcannot in your own. You who will throw papers and cigarettes on the roadthe moment you touch Indian ground. If you can be an involved andappreciative citizen in an alien country, why cannot you be the same herein India?Once in an interview, the famous Ex-municipal commissioner of Bombay,Mr.Tinaikar, had a point to make. "Rich people's dogs are walked on thestreets to leave their affluent droppings all over the place," he said."And then the same people turn around to criticize and blame theauthorities for inefficiency and dirty pavements. What do they expect theofficers to do?Go down with a broom every time their dog feels the pressure in his bowels?In America every dog owner has to clean up after his pet has done the job.Same in Japan. Will the Indian citizen do that here?" He's right. We go tothe polls to choose a government and after that forfeit all responsibility.We sit back wanting to be pampered and expect the government to doeverything for us whilst our contribution is totally negative. We expectthe Government to clean up but we are not going to stop chucking garbageall over the place nor are we going to stop to pick up a stray piece ofpaper and throw it in the bin. We expect the railways to provide cleanbathrooms but we are not going to learn the proper use of bathrooms.We want Indian Airlines and Air India to provide the best of food andtoiletries but we are not going to stop pilfering at the least opportunity.This applies even to the staff who is known not to pass on the service tothe public. When it comes to burning social issues like those related towomen, dowry, girl child! and others, we make loud drawing roomprotestations and continue to do the reverse at home. Our excuse? "It's thewhole system which has to change, how will it matter if I alone forego mysons' rights to a dowry." So who's going to change the system?What does a system consist of ? Very conveniently for us it consists of ourneighbours, other households, other cities, other communities and thegovernment. But definitely not me and YOU. When it comes to us actuallymaking a positive contribution to the system we lock ourselves along withour families into a safe cocoon and look into the distance at countries faraway and wait for a Mr. Clean to come along & work miracles for us with amajestic sweep of his hand or we leave the country and run away.Like lazy cowards hounded by our fears we run to America to bask in theirglory and praise their system. When New York becomes insecure we run toEngland. When England experiences unemployment, we take the next flight outto the Gulf. When the Gulf is war struck, we demand to be rescued andbrought home by the Indian government. Everybody is out to abuse and rapethe country. Nobody thinks of feeding the system. Our conscience ismortgaged to money.Dear Indians, The article is highly thought inductive, calls for a greatdeal of introspection and pricks one's conscience too.... I am echoingJ.F.Kennedy 's words to his fellow Americans to relate to Indians....."ASK WHAT WE CAN DO FOR INDIA AND DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE TO MAKE INDIA WHATAMERICA AND OTHER WESTERN COUNTRIES ARE TODAY"Lets do what India needs from us.Forward this mail to each Indian for a change instead of sending Jokes orjunk mails.Thank you,Dr. Abdul Kalaam (PRESIDENT OF INDIA)

It is not enough to have solid answers only for the above questions. You need to be prepared for the full spectrum of questions that may be presented. For further practice, make sure you go through the required mock interview (see the "Competitive Interview Prep" Section) and for further review, look at some of the following questions:
Tell me about yourself.
What do you want to do with your life?
Do you have any actual work experience?
How would you describe your ideal job?
Why did you choose this career?
When did you decide on this career?
What goals do you have in your career?
How do you plan to achieve these goals?
How do you evaluate success?
Describe a situation in which you were successful.
What do you think it takes to be successful in this career?
What accomplishments have given you the most satisfaction in your life?
If you had to live your life over again, what would you change?
Would your rather work with information or with people?
Are you a team player?
What motivates you?
Why should I hire you?
Are you a goal-oriented person?
Tell me about some of your recent goals and what you did to achieve them.
What are your short-term goals?
What is your long-range objective?
What do you see yourself doing five years from now?
Where do you want to be ten years from now?
Do you handle conflict well?
Have you ever had a conflict with a boss or professor? How did you resolve it?
What major problem have you had to deal with recently?
Do you handle pressure well?
What is your greatest strength?
What is your greatest weakness?
If I were to ask one of your professors to describe you, what would he or she say?
Why did you choose to attend your college?
What changes would you make at your college?
How has your education prepared you for your career?
What were your favorite classes? Why?
Do you enjoy doing independent research?
Who were your favorite professors? Why?
Why is your GPA not higher?
Do you have any plans for further education?
How much training do you think you'll need to become a productive employee?
What qualities do you feel a successful manager should have?
Why do you want to work in the _____ industry?
What do you know about our company?
Why are you interested in our company?
Do you have any location preferences?
How familiar are you with the community that we're located in?
Will you relocate? In the future?
Are you willing to travel? How much?
Is money important to you?
How much money do you need to make to be happy?
What kind of salary are you looking for? Don't just read these questions--practice and rehearse the answers. Don't let the company interview be the first time you have actually formulated an answer in spoken words. It is not enough to think about them in your head--practice! Sit down with a friend, a significant other, or your roommate (an especially effective critic, given the amount of preparation to date) and go through all of the questions. Make the most of every single interview opportunity by being fully prepared!
