Quotes about India
We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made. Albert Einstein.
India is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend and the great grand mother of tradition. Mark Twain.
If there is one place on the face of earth where all dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India French scholar Romain Rolland.
India conquered and dominated China culturally for 20 centuries without ever having to send a single soldier across her border. Hu Shih (former Chinese ambassador to USA )
ALL OF THE ABOVE IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG, THE LIST COULD BE ENDLESS.
BUT, if we don't see even a glimpse of that great India in the India that we see today, it clearly means that we are not working up to our potential; and that if we do, we could once again be an ever shining and inspiring country setting a bright path for rest of the world to follow.
I hope you enjoyed it and work towards the welfare of INDIA

To All My Friends...
My Mom always told me that we could never measure our wealth by money but by our friends. She would surely be glad to meet you and know how rich I turned out to be! Tiny but wonderful seeds of blessings are sprinkled on earth each day...and I just caught one that's so nice and true..
And it's you!
I may have forgotten to say that I care. I may have failed to open up and share, but though no words have been spoken, my promise of friendship won't be broken .
Time and distance are important between friends. When a friend is in your heart, they remain there forever. I may be busy, but I assure you, you are always in my heart!
Time and distance are important between friends. When a friend is in your heart, they remain there forever. I may be busy, but I assure you, you are always in my heart!
Friends are like the walls of a house. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes you lean on them. But sometimes, it's enough to know they're just standing by.
If all my friends were to jump off a bridge, I wouldn't jump with them; I'd be at the bottom to catch them.
One tree can start a forest, one smile can start a friendship. One touch can show you care, one friend can make life worth living for.
A smile makes us look younger... while friends make us feel stronger...and they make us enjoy life.
Have a Lovely Day !Keep Smiling..........
"True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost."Please take care of your health !!
I may not be a perfect friend you are looking for. Not even the best among others.But surely i m a friend who wants to see you happy forever,ever,ever,ever and ever.
In Advance Happy Friendship Day

Story Of The Week - Creative Thinking
This is a good mail on ATTITUDE & its importance... Check it out!!
An old man lived alone in a village.
He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work.
His only son, who would have helped him, was in prison.
The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his situation:
Dear Son,
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year.
I hate to miss doing the garden, because your mother always loved planting time.
I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot.
If you were here, all my troubles would be over.
I know you would dig the plot for me, if you weren't in prison.
Love,
Dad
Shortly the old man received this telegram:
"For Heaven's sake, Dad, don't dig up the garden!! That's where I buried the GUNS!!"
At 4 a.m the next morning, a dozen FBI agents and local police officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any guns.
Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what happened, and asked him what to do next.
His son's reply was:
"Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad.. It's the best I could do for you from here."
Moral:
"NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN THE WORLD,
IF YOU HAVE DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING DEEP FROM YOUR HEART YOU CAN DO IT. IT IS THE THOUGHT THAT MATTERS.. NOT WHERE YOU ARE OR WHERE THE PERSON IS"

Oops
Oops. Today was really a mess. I really dont know why I was so toungue tied after all to run a call with my own team. Did I do that? I really dont understand where did all the courage go? I feel like a stranger to myself as if I dont know me. Its like did I ever had any confidence in life. Always there is a doubt of what if am wrong or I dont even realize what is that that has taken the confidence in me. Probably at times when you have to be submissive at certain places may be that brings a impact to the person who you are.Or probably when you hear some negative comments most of the times about you then you tend to believe that and become pessimistic about yourself. I dont know what is it.And especially the worst thing is when you fail someones trust on you. Right now I am feeling totally low and hope by morning I get back to the me I were from the me I am.

It's too late to say I LOVE YOU ...???
I was afraid of telling you, afraid of admitting it
to myself but it’s true
I began to fall in love with u,
no matter how hard I tried not to
u made me tingle every time u laughed, you made me happy
u taught me to take risks in life,
to laugh when I wanted to cry
I learned to live life the way you do,
4 myself and for who I am
2 accept the challenges and to have fun no matter what I do
Maybe you were an angel in disguise
and what they say is so true
You don’t realize what you have
until you nearly lose it, yes it is
You gave me so much love more than I could wish 4,
I didn’t see it
I didn’t feel it until you let me go,
the word goodbye made me feel it all
I tried so hard to make the pain go away
but I couldn’t do that
So I just broke down and cried, cried 4 you, I was missing you
I don’t know if this is love but the second
I let you go my heart cried
Out for you in pain, I didn’t want to lose you,
if this is god’s way of
Punishing me for nt appreciating you before
I hope it’s nt too late
Too late to tell you all the things
I wanted to but never really did
I care for you alot, this silly fight shouldn’t
come between us now that
You’re gone I am wondering is it too late?
Too late to say I love you?
