Silly wisdom:

1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just leave me alone!!!


2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a leaky tire.


3. Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.


4. Always remember you're unique. Just like everyone else.


5. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.


6. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of credit card payments.


7. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.


8. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.


9. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.


10. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.


11. There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works. (My Favourite :) )


12. Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your lips are moving.


13. There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

The Stock Market :

Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced to the
villagers that he would buy monkeys for Rs10.

The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the
forest and started catching them

The man bought thousands at Rs10 and as supply started to diminish, the
villagers stopped their effort. He further announced that he would now
buy at Rs20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started
catching monkeys again.

Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to
their farms. The offer rate increased to Rs25 and the supply of monkeys
became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone
catch it!

The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at Rs50! However, since
he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on
behalf of him.

In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers. Look at all
these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected I will sell
them to you at Rs35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell
it to him for Rs50."

The villagers squeezed up with all their savings and bought all the
monkeys.

Then they never saw the man nor his assistant, only monkeys everywhere!!!

Welcome to the "Stock" Market!!!!!

जिन्दगी अपनी जीत पर भी ना मुस्कुरा पाई

♡ मैं दो कदम चलता और एक पल को रुकता मगर...........
♡ इस एक पल जिन्दगी मुझसे चार कदम आगे बढ जाती ।
♡ मैं फिर दो कदम चलता और एक पल को रुकता और....
♡ जिन्दगी फिर मुझसे चार कदम आगे बढ जाती ।
♡ युँ ही जिन्दगी को जीतता देख मैं मुस्कुराता और....
♡ जिन्दगी मेरी मुस्कुराहट पर हैंरान होती ।
♡ ये सिलसिला यहीं चलता रहता.....
♡ फिर एक दिन मुझे हंसता देख एक सितारे ने पुछा..........
♡ " तुम हार कर भी मुस्कुराते हो ! क्या तुम्हें दुख नहीं होता हार का ? "
♡♡ तब मैंनें कहा................
♡ मुझे पता हैं एक ऐसी सरहद आयेगी जहाँ से आगे
♡ जिन्दगी चार कदम तो क्या एक कदम भी आगे ना बढ पायेगी,
♡ तब जिन्दगी मेरा इन्तज़ार करेगी और मैं......
♡ तब भी युँ ही चलता रुकता अपनी रफ्तार से अपनी धुन मैं वहाँ पहुचूंगा .......
♡ एक पल रुक कर, जिन्दगी को देख कर मुस्कुराउगा..........
♡ बीते सफर को एक नज़र देख अपने कदम फिर बढाँउगा।
♡ ठीक उसी पल मैं जिन्दगी से जीत जाउगा.........
♡ मैं अपनी हार पर भी मुस्कुराता था और अपनी जीत पर भी......
♡ मगर जिन्दगी अपनी जीत पर भी ना मुस्कुरा पाई...

The Question :
Jack and Max are walking from religious service. Jack wonders whether it would be all right to smoke while praying.

Max replies, "Why don't you ask the Priest?"

So Jack goes up to the Priest and asks, "Priest, may I smoke while I pray?
But the Priest says, "No, my son, you may not. That's utter disrespect to our religion."

Jack goes back to his friend and tells him what the good Priest told him.
Max says, "I'm not surprised. You asked the wrong question. Let me try."And so Max goes up to the Priest and asks, "Priest, may I pray while I smoke?"
To which the Priest eagerly replies, "By all means, my son. By all means."



Moral: The reply you get depends on the question you ask.



For Example: Can I work on this project while I'm on leave?
MANCHESTER: And on the seventh day, the God created MANchester!! (on a T-shirt)


1. War Meausum: This is a free entry meausum. If you don't have anywhere else to go then this place is worth visit. This is focussed on WW 1 & 2. They have some replicas, a harrier and some good presentations. Added to it, its near a good mall(whose name I always forget) and Manchester United Stadium.
2. The Manchester Art Gallery : Again free entry. This was first time I had seen art so grand. The painting are wonderful and I was amazed how can somebody make so wonderful paintings.
3. Worthington Park: A good park in Sale. It's wondeful place to spend few hours or even a day here.
4. City Center : Its large, grand and awesome. You wonder if its one large complex or something that's woven together so nicely. It's full of people and still you don't feel like a crowded place! ?You can visit here the Manchester Library, The Royal Exchange( a theater), The Picaddly Rail Station(yes, this is worth visit!) ......
5. Trafford Center : A very large mall, crowded, grand and I didn't liked it :-(
6. Rushome : A area largly inhabited by Pakistanis. Popular among people from subcountinent for 'Worlwide', a large store where you can get all the stuff that you need for an Indian kitchen.
7. Sale : The place where we live!! It's almost central to everywhere.
8. Altringham: I guses , ****!!
9. The Manchester University: One of the best English universities. See the logo below:
MANCHESTER
1824
England : The land, The country and the people:

1. The bank holiday : Its always on a Monday, except the Christmas, Boxing day and easter.
2. There is heavy council tax, but the services provided are worth it, the council does almost every thing, from cutting grass in gardens to picking garbage everyweek to roads and don't know what else!
3. Leamington Spa : It is a small and a beautiful city located between Birmingham and London. It's simply mesmerising. A relative family lives there and they have wonderful kids. I felt at home instantly there.
They have got a few miles long park that runs parallel to a small ravine. The jhule there were quite innovative.
4. The they have the compressed holidays. You work an hour extra everyday for 2 weeks and then take a leave, the compressed holiday. Isn't that cool..

What's not so good
1, Wanna have a holiday, its a great country but raising kids here is not a very pleasant experience.
2. I don't know how many cups of cofee they drink before they wash their cups!!
3. I haven't seen people this old and fat anywhere else.
4. The TV Licence!! Which country in the world requires its residents to have this kind to licence? Well, I guess they need to support BBC and organisations like that.
5. Taxes: I've started having the belief that this country is being run more by taxes than anything else..
