Wanna Become Rich..Some facts from WarrenBuffet
1. He bought his first share at age 11 and he now regrets that he started too late!
2. He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering newspapers.
3. He still lives in the same small 3-bedroom house in mid-town Omaha, which he bought after he got married 50 years ago. He says that he has everything he needs in that house. His house does not have a wall or a fence.
4. He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or security people around him.
5. He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world’s largest private jet company.
6. His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63 companies. He writes only one letter each year to the CEOs of these companies, giving them goals for the year. He never holds meetings or calls them on a regular basis. He has given his CEO's only two rules. Rule number 1: do not lose any of your share holder's money. Rule number 2: Do not forget rule number 1.
7. He does not socialize with the high society crowd. His past time after he gets home is to make himself some pop corn and watch Television.
8. BillGates, the world's richest man met him for the first time only 5 years ago. BillGates did not think he had anything in common with WarrenBuffet. So he had scheduled his meeting only for half hour. But when Gates met him, the meeting lasted for ten hours and Bill Gates became a devotee of WarrenBuffet.
9. WarrenBuffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on his desk.
His advice to young people: 'Stay away from credit cards and invest in yourself and Remember:
A. Money doesn't create man but it is the man who created money.
B. Live your life as simple as you are.
C. Don't do what others say, just listen to them, but do what you feel good.
D. Don't go on brand name; just wear those things in which u feel comfortable.
E. Don't waste your money on unnecessary things; just spend on them who really in need rather.
F. After all it's your life then why give chance to others to rule our life.'

What is Beautiful ?
Being beautiful is nothing but how someone keeps his/her mind and health healthy. If you think beauty is coming out external things like dressing, makeup, jewels etc, then it would not last permanently too. Because you need to maintain this beauty with cost of time and money for your sake. Every one is having our own beauty as none is alike others and every one have their own individual beauty which is to be admired and understood. Beauty is more related to mind, love, friendship, relationship etc. How we are caring others is a beauty of life. Even many people are going ahead to safe guard the stray dogs ahead of children's life. !!!!!!
Beauty of life is available in the every moment we live here. How we could visualize the happening is beauty and it is m more important of being beautiful to others by caring them. Whenever, there is rain, everyone enjoys ( if you are under shelter ) but not all could enjoy the beauty as it requires some inclination to enjoy the beauty.

Why I am not Beautiful ?
If some one comment that you are not beautiful or handsome, then that leaves a sadness forever. Then it leads to the question to themselves “Why I am not beautiful ?” and “How can I become beautiful” ? which ultimately make them to think over and find out ways to become beautiful Thanks to the aggressive marketing of the cosmetic products and shortcut shop (beauty parlors for men and women).!!! After tried out with all tiresome beauty techniques and finally they would end up without the anticipated success. This is not specific to anyone rather common to all.
Whenever, we doubt our selves about the beauty of us, first thing every one seeks a mirror help which might not reflect anything extra. But, we might spend lot of time in front mirror with various posture and angle to see your belongs ! The mirror help is needed for most the people who aged more than just 14 years or so. This is one kind of conversation with ourselves to enjoy ourselves. The we ask many questions Why my mouth is like this ? Why not my lips are like that ? Why my nose is so flat ?? Why not my nose like Late Rajivi Gandhi!! These all questions are not answered by the mirror. And the same time we know that it can not mistake the mirror. either. Shall we take the blow on our parents or your fate? These unanswered questions might not be understood for many people but when your mind matures and then you know the beauty of the life. Let us find out really what is beautiful for every one at all the time !!!!!! in “What is Beautiful”???? Blog...

Presendential candidature 2007!!!
For first time, during NDA ( BJP ruling) they thought to file a candidate who can be widely accepted by all the parties. Do you think BJP was refining of the system from putting their own loyal person as the President ? Never, its a political compulsion as they did not have the clear margin of MLAs, MPs to make their loyal candidate to win. So, they went with Abdul Kalam which was the best and obvious choice available that point of time.
Again, it was a political decision only but it paved the way to find one of the Best President which India ever had! Kalam's candidature was not influenced only by his Wisdom and technical contribution to the nation but he hailed from the Muslim community which was in the minds of the all political parties. However, he never ever showed of the identity to any particular religion or language.This is the most appreciated one from Kalam as First Citizen of the India.
Due to the nature of the chemistry available in the political parties composition, at least we are convinced to accept the UPA candidature as the first Women President of the country. I would not take this as if we are now only giving the opportunity of the women for the Highest position of the country because we accepted Indira as our Prime minister and Sonia as the national leader of this country. Given that nominating the Women candidature is not equal to the political decision of getting Kalam as our President which was done by NDA last time.
But, we have a face saving candidature to get the benefit of the mixed political chemistry which has been prevailing in our country. Having said that Why political parties can come out openly to elect someone who is aware of all the political happening but not attached to any political party and whole country would look up him/her for the wisdom, knowledge and vision .. like More Kalams as our President of the country. The same time, I would like to Kalam to go out to the countries width and breadth to inspire more children as he has been doing. Whole nation has been looking at Kalam for wisdom, knowledge and vision even he becomes former President of India.
May God bless Kalam with many more years to server and inspire our country. And wishing him to witness his Vision of India 2020 by his own EYE...

Your nightmare of identifying the Bangalore City bus routes will be solved here
Enjoy.
Wednesday, March 28, 2007
Appeal to BMTC ( Bangalore Metro Bus Transport )
Since Bangalore is a metro it is unavoidable for other state people to come here for business and work reasons. Given that, those floating population may stay here for a short duration. During that time, commuting in the city buses is really a night mare and they tend to hire a taxi or auto which again in fluxing the traffic to more and it is defeating the cause of having the public transport. What is the hurdle in taking the City bus for a new comer ? Becaue all the BMTC ( expect Route no : 138 and few new buses ) are carrying only Kannada route boards which is really an obstacle to find the correct bus.
Having English route board will some extend solve the any new comer to take up the BMTC and also the bus conductor or driver will be asked in each and every bus stop to inquire the route all the time.
As we run the public transport, we need to attract and make all the passengers to be comfortable in identifying the bus routes other wise having Kannada the route broad alone is defected by itself. You can even ask for the feedback from the conductors and drivers as in a day how many persons are asking them for the route clarity.
PLEASE CONSIDER THIS AS IT IS NOT RELATED TO ANY SENSITIVE ISSUE RATHER IT IS SENSIBLE ONE.

What is happening in Bangalore
Without a the capitation fee you can not get the admission for KG in any schools. One of the school run by real estate guys opening put in their web site that each KG admission is required to pay 50K ( Fifty Thousands Rupees !!!??? ) non-refundable fee and their anual fees comes around 30K.
The kids in the KG maximum spends 3hrs in a day in the school. I do not find any logic in taking these huge money..
But,there is no solution other than paying it !!!! Thats the reality...

How do you Pray to God !
In some temple function celebration, a father and his daughter ( 4 yrs old ) were present there. Since it was a big crowd in the temple, the father told his kid to hold his hand tightly so that kid would not be missed in the crowd. Child tried to hold her father's hand for sometime but it could not hold properly. Thinking cute child asked her father that he could not hold her father's big hand by her small hand. Child also said that you had to hold my hand and make sure that I wouldl not be missed in the crowd. If I was missed in the crowd then you have to search me and you will run into problem to trace me in the crowd.
Like the Father holds the child's hand, we have to offer ourselves to be in the hands of GOD. It is up to the GOD to sail your life successfully.

My Birthday how I was/am/willbe ...
Your birth on the 25th day of the month (7 energy) modifies your life path by giving you some special interest in technical, scientific, or other complex and often hard to understand subjects. You may become something of a perfectionist and a stickler for details. Your thinking is logical and intuitive, rational and responsible. Your feelings may run deep, but you are not very likely to let them show. This birthday makes you a more private person, more introspective and perhaps more inflexible. In friendships you are very cautious and reserved. You are probably inventive, and given to unique approaches and solutions

Know about Anger !!
source : http://eqi.org/
Anger is a powerful emotion. It can be used either in productive or counter-productive ways. It can lengthen or shorten our lives. It is like electricity. It can run large equipment or it can electrocute you.
Here are more things to know about anger:
1. It is a powerful survival tool
2. It is a response to pain (physical or psychological)
3. It is a source of energy
4. It is a secondary emotion
5. When we are angry, the brain downshifts to a lower evolutionary level
6. Prolonged anger is unhealthy
7. Repressed anger is also unhealthy
Nature has developed the emotional state we call "anger" to help us stay alive. Anger sends signals to all parts of our body to help us fight or flee. It energizes us to prepare us for action. Many years ago we were threatened by wild animals who wanted to eat us. Now we more often feel threatened by other human beings, either psychologically or physically.
When we feel energized by anger, we might ask ourselves how we put this energy to the most productive use. As with the use of other forms of energy such as electricity or oil, we might want to use it efficiently, not wastefully.
Primary vs. Secondary Feelings
Perhaps the most helpful thing to remember about anger is that it is a secondary emotion. A primary feeling is what is felt immediately before we feel angry. We always feel something else first before we get angry.
We might first feel afraid, attacked, offended, disrespected, forced, trapped, or pressured. If any of these feelings are intense enough, we think of the emotion as anger.
Geneally speaking, secondary feelings do not identify the unmet emotional need (UEN). When all I can say is "I feel angry," neither I nor any one else knows what would help me feel better. A helpful technique, then, is to always identify the primary emotion.
Here is an example. Assume someone wants us to do something we prefer not to do. At first we feel a little pressured, but not enough to get angry. When they keep pushing us, we begin to get irritated. If they continue, we get "angry". Such anger damages often relationships. One suggestion on how to avoid getting angry in this case would be to express your initial feeling by saying "I feel pressured" before the feeling has escalated to the point of destructive anger. If the person respects your feelings and does not invalidate them, they may stop their pressure. Even if they do not, I believe it is helpful to know what the specific feeling is. Knowing exactly how we feel with others and why helps us in several ways. First it raises our self-awareness in general. Second, it helps us communicate more precisely. Third, it helps us learn more quickly who respects our feelings and who we want to spend time with.
Anger as a Response to Fear
One of the primitive functions of an animal's response to fear is to frighten away the attacker. But in modern human life, we often frighten away those who we need and care about most. Besides this, prolonged anger has clear health consequences. According to Dr. Herbert Benson, these include heart attacks, hardening of the arteries, strokes, hypertension, high blood pressure, heart rate changes and metabolism, muscle and respiratory problems. (The Relaxation Response, 1975)
Responding To and Learning From Anger
Anger is an intense emotion. It is evidence that we feel strongly about something. As with every emotion, it has a lesson for us. It can teach us what we value, what we need, what we lack, what we believe and what our insecurities are. It can help us become more aware of what we feel strongly about and which emotional needs are important to us. One way to learn from anger is shown in the example below:
Instead of saying,
She never should have done that. I can't believe how irresponsible, insensitive and inconsiderate she is. What a cold- hearted, evil witch she is.
a more productive response is:
I am really upset by this. Why does it bother me so much? What specifically am I feeling? What are my primary feelings? What need do I have that is not being met? What principles of mine have been violated?
From the answers to these questions, we can decide what course of action to take in view of what our goals are. Simply being aware that we have multiple options and that we can decide to pick the best one helps soothe the anger. It may help, for instance, to ask if we really want to frighten away the person we are angry at. As soon as we "upshift" and begin to think about our options and their consequences, and make appropriate plans, we start to feel more in control and less threatened. We get out of the automatic stimulus-response mode and realize that we have choices.
There is a quote which goes like this:
Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space lies our freedom and power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and freedom. - Victor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning
It may be helpful for us to try to widen this space over our lives, and in fact this may be one of the signs of wisdom and maturity. It may give us an increased sense of control
Simply remembering that we have a choice helps us feel more in control. I have found it helpful, for example, to identify when I am feeling provoked. Once I realize this I feel more in control of my response. Not surprisingly, studies show that people feel better and are healthier when they have a sense of control over their lives. This is where the balance between upper brain and lower brain comes in. High EQ suggests that we channel our anger in productive ways to help us achieve our goals rather than to sabotage them. Keeping our goals clearly in mind at all times helps us accomplish this.
Here are some suggestions for responding to your anger:
1. Ask what you are afraid of.
2. Ask what feelings preceded the anger.
3. Ask what other feelings you are feeling.
4. Ask what you are trying to control.
5. Ask what you can control.
6. Consider your options.
7. Choose the one which will bring you the most long term happiness.
Finally, here is a technique I sometimes use to help me cope with "anger" (if I haven't already "downshifted" to a purely reactive animal instinct state). When I catch myself starting to say "I feel angry" or "I am starting to get really pissed off," I say instead, "I feel really energized." Then I ask myself how I want to channel my energy to its best use. It is a simple little technique, but sometimes it has made a big difference in how I feel and how I respond.

YOU think We are the 'BEST' Techies in IT
engineers, heres an eye opener. The ACM (association of computing
machinery) conducted a world level programming competition in which
all universities from around the world took part
http://icpc.baylor.edu/icpc/Finals/
Now many INdian colleges took part too - but the only 2 in the top 100
list were IIT Chennai (62nd position) and IIT Bombay (72). For those
of our friends in Ontario Canada, one of their colleges kicked butt -
the Univ of Waterloo came in third (congrats guys). Iran came 10th.
China had many colleges in top 10. Russia ofcourse was the topper.
Argentina came 35th, Singapore (Nat Univ) 36th and Bangladesh came in
40. Here's the hard truth - We show up on everyone's radar, not
because of quality, but because of volume. Indian consulting companies
charge dirt low prices and thats how they get projects. Its time we
got our shit straight.

Fwd: Does SUN network and DMK web URL change domain names to"co.in"!!!!!!!!! ( Thanks WWW.SUNNETWORK.IN WORKING ) Inbox
Senthil Kumar to queries, shammi
More options 8:09 pm (3 minutes ago)
Dear Sir,
I have been checking your www.sunnetwork.in URL once I sent the mail about the problem. The DMK org was quick to reply and they linked thedmk.org to dmk.in which is fine. Thanks once again for DMK party.. !
I was little disappointed as I did not receive any reply from SUN Network and the same time www.sunnetwork.in was also not functional. Whenever, I see www.sunnetwork.in URL at the end of your program telecasts I got much frustrated as the non-functional web site was being shown without much botheration.
Atlast, NOW it is working and you have made the difference by not just linking to any 'in' domains, it seems the contents are being maintained in the same URL which is really a professional one..
Thanks for doing it.. I am poor guy thinks that I was able to send my views to you !!!!!!!!!!
Whether you did read or not I just vent my feeling this way to many orgs and big personalities in the public life..

Outsourcing at its best..:)..
follows:
Ferrari has decided to take advantage of India's high unemployment
rate, and hire unemployed Indian youths from the Dharavi slums
in Mumbai. The decision to hire them was brought on by a recent
documentary on how they were able to remove a set of wheels
from a car parked in the street in less than 6 seconds without
proper equipment. Ferrari's erstwhile crew took more than 8
seconds with the right equipment. This was thought to be an
excellent yet bold move by the Ferrari management, and, as most
races are won & lost in the pits, Ferrari would have an advantage
over every other team.
However, Ferrari's expectations were exceeded, as during the
crew's first practice session; not only were 'da boyz' from
Bombay able to change the
tires in under 6 seconds, but within 12 seconds had resprayed the car,
filed
off the chassis number and sold the vehicle over to the McLaren Team!!

Mail to SunTV and DMK Party
Last few days, I have been seeing that during the end of Sun TV
Programs, the web site is mentioned as 'www.sunnetwork.in". But I am
unable to find the same.Even then, I think it should be
www.sunnetwork.co.in and it seems this also does not exist.
Also the DMK web site is thedmk.org which also does not comply with
what our Union Communication Minister asked/requested to all. Also DMK
can think of some thing constructively to give positivie news to all
Tamil/Sun viewers.
Please go on read the following.
I would really appreciate if you would have changed the web site URL
to comply with nation domain name like subnetwork.co.in. This was
mandated by Union Communication Minister and this way we can show IT
strength and be proud about India. I hope the spirit in which the
Minister talked, might have been taken in the right spirit in Sun TV
where he also has the hold :-)
Anyway Sun TV is the ultimate media to influence the people (even non
Tamil speaking too) but do not get carried away as many neutrals
viewers will be turned around opposite if more venom is injected
always like Jaya TV. I think you have a right to counter attack but
better show the good thing the TN central ministers [ irrespective of
part as all belong do UPA ] are doing rather than saying because TN
govt is not co-operating. This is known factor to every one and no
need to make the propaganda. Also what ever, you tried to emphiase on
Jaya cases were not directly influenced the voters because most of the
neutrals say that all are corrupted. So, leaving the corruption
propaganda, what good things UPA has given to TN so far. I know TN has
the greatest golden opportunity to grow if state govt also in the same
par with central.
Hence, the votes will do this in the coming election. Before that you
can not under estimate your alliances!! Let them also come in some
news in SUN TV. That way you can persuade them !! I have not seen
single shot (picture ) Vaiko recently..!!! Why this discrimination..
!!
I remember this is a best example how SUN TV exploits the
personalities for your sake!!! EVKS Enlongavan was being showed
almost every day in your news before the DMK and Cong alliance..I
firmly believe that without EVKS, you would not have smooth sailing to
Cong alliance (Applicable for either parties). Since EVKS was very
strong opposer for JJ that made obvious choice for Cong as DMK. You
have to show some glimpses of EVKS now also.. As I am a regular viewer
of Sun TV, once the alliance was done..You just ignored EVKS. I know
without his influence the Rail route from Erode to Palani could not
be taken for study. Underlying reasons may be Subbulakshmi Jagdeesan
too.. But you rarely show them in the new.. At least, Sun news can
have some slot time for the UPA ministers good work and this would
bring a good will among the UPA till TN assembly elections... This is
much needed for TN growth...
Also, you have more responsibility than any other TV in India as many
viewers outside of India also watching it. I would appreciate your
fund Tsunami contribution and coverage in
visual.. [ Audio never carried any positive news ..Sorry .. Please do
not keep your propaganda to give -ve of JJ as every body knows her :)]

Tax on Money Withdraw 10K.. to be at higher amount like 50K
In rural, people who withdraws his money will be hesitant to pay that. Please consider the hike the slab like 5OK in a day or atleast 25K..
10K limit is too less as we would do a shopping it all will be over. Also, it would be more of crushing the lower income section.. Even I withdraw 10K money, that again would be under VAT or any sale tax. How unanimosly it can be taken that 10K will be used in black!!!! If the amount is very high like in lacs then you can enforce this.
It is a good move but all the segement will be affected. This is my great concern. Hope atleast some strong feedbacks will be flowing to FM to review this..
