One of the most b'ful email rcvd- A Little Dash
A Little Dash
==============
Life is like that.
Every now and then, you need to add a little dash to life.
It won`t change your story, but it will make it look a lot better.
You can do it without much money; all it takes is a little time
and effort.
When was the last time you`ve gone to a play?
It`s been that long huh?
Colleges have them, churches have them, there are many groups
that put on plays that are rather inexpensive to attend.
Do you have a pet?
When was the last time you`ve gone to a dog or cat show?
It`s been that long huh?
Most cities have them at least once a year. If you are on the
net, you can find when one is coming to your area. If you like
cats and dogs, you`ll love the show.
When was the last time you`ve gone to a comedy club?
It`s been that long huh?
Again, most cities have them. Find out when a comic will
perform who suits your style and go and laugh until the tears
fall.
When was the last time you just sat in the park and listened
to the birds sing and the soothing sounds of nature?
It`s been that long huh?
There are a hundred other things that if you stop and think,
you will realize that dashes are all around you each day.
Take a break and put a dash of spice in the everyday world.
Remember, on all of our tombstones will be the day we are born
and the day we die. The only thing in-between - is a dash.
Time flies so fast as you age that years seem to dash by.
For little or no money, and a small investment in time and
effort, make the picture of life more pleasant to look at.
Add a dash. . .

What's ur mobile number?
This post is for those girls who possess a common trait of being possessive about the numbers in their life. Be it their weight, their age or their mobile numbers. Once in a while, they maybe considerate enough and disclose the first two in the series, but when it comes to their mobile numbers, they find innumerous reasons to deny.
In this internet era, rarely is anyone detached from the networking sites. Increasing the friend list count is a mark of social acceptance or a prestigious issue. Online friendship is on the rise in youngistaan. In such an age, the fairer sex has no problem in sharing their email ids. They are comfortable in sharing personal information. They chat with their net buddies for endless hours. They can scrap or scribble incessantly. But ask them for their mobile numbers, and it seems as if lightning has struck them. The entire world’s possessive feeling overpowers them, they look at you with chary eyes and all of a sudden they become defensive.
I am not in favour of publishing mobile numbers on sites. But when a girl has accepted a friend request and is comfortable with online chatting or exchanging e-mails then why do they have a problem in sharing mobile numbers?
In my opinion, sharing an email id can prove to be rather unsafe. An email id to me is more personal than my mobile number. But who would explain it to those girls who just would not part with those “precious 10 numerals”…no matter what!

www:Wired in Wireless World
The world has stepped into 4G. We are exposed to a plethora of wireless devices. The bluetooth, the Wi-fi, the Wimax, Sony's Wireless walkman and many more.. Yes, we are accustomed to and absolutely relish this wireless life!
But see these pictures of my room. Who would say that we are living in a wireless world? When it comes to Powering On, there come all the wires. Once again we are left intertwined amidst them all.
Am fervently waiting for another tech breakthrough..for that day when there would be wireless power transfers..That will be the day when my world would become Truly Wireless!

Fire and Ice
Some say the world will end in fire
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favour fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

I or WE
Back on my blog after a loooooong time......... for a debate on I vs WE.
Personal leadership is the most studied, researched topic in American life. However romantic the idea of larger than life individual working alone and accomplishing great things may sound, the fact remains the same- seldom can success be attributed to one individual. Most of the times, it's not great men or great women, but great groups that have been responsible for success.
Great groups are formed not by putting extremely talented people together. In fact, talent alone can never result in success. The fact is that even Michealangelo worked with a group of 16 artists to paint the ceiling of Sistine Chapel- one of his most famous works. The lone ranger can only achieve as much, while a great team can break all boundaries and even do the impossible. What makes a team truly great is the fact that they are bound to each other with a "Great Dream".
Henry Ford once said, "Coming together is a beginning, working together is progress, achieving together is success." The feeling of togetherness comes when you have a shared goal.
A lot of us may feel we are good team players, for we are helpful, friendly and are actively involved in the happening of the company. This is passive leadership. The real "team players" are those who not just bring out best in themselves, but have the knack to identify the true potential of their team members and change them so much that they go ahead and do the impossible.
Jim Collins says very clearly in his book "Good to Great"- first, get the right people on the bus, wrong people off the bus and the right people in the right seat; then figure out where to drive. It is very important for an organization that before deciding the vision, mission, strategy, tactics and structure, decide on the people. An organization needs strong players and strong teams, not "one genius with a thousand helpers". A great leader is the one who has the guts to recruit people better than him & the capability to manage these people & keep them motivated. As Michael Jordan once said, "Talent wins games, but team work and intelligence wins championships." Great teams are based on similarity of spirit and diversity of strengths.
There is an old African saying- "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."

ZEROTUDE
ZERO- An important digit in mathematics but the most degraded term to belittle a person in common language.
Through this post, I just dare to change your mindset regarding zero. The same zero which was born in India, the same digit that encircles our lives. We may feel zero is a derogatory term but this zero can convert a '1' into 10, 100, 1000 and make any dumb-dog a millionaire.
Any number multiplied by zero is zero.
Zero doesn't let any digit to overpower itself. We can also make ourselves a zero. Don't let any person overpower you or influence you. Retain your qualities in all circumstances. Be yourself.. no matter what.
Any number(s) added to zero is the number(s) itself.
When zero is added to a group of numbers, it does not affect the core qualities of that group. It mixes very well in the group. This quality of zero will prove helpful while working in a team. It's good to be a zero and mingle with the team rather than dwelling in one's own ego or superiority complex no matter how important you are.
Zero divided by any number is zero.
Zero doesn't let anyone to divide, divert or mislead itself. We too should be motivated towards our goals and aims. Don't get misguided or misled by anyone. Don't let any obstacle change your inherent dreams and aspirations.
Zero cannot divide a number.
A number when divided by zero results in infinity (in mathematics) or 'not divisible' (in general terms). This quality of zero teaches us that we should not try to divide, divert or mislead persons or teams. Creating divisions of any kind is a negative trait bringing infinite problems and zero is not involved in it. Also, we should not let anyone use ourselves to cause a rift or division.
We may also imbibe these qualities in ourselves so as to increase the worthiness of anything we are attached with. We should make ourselves efficient and effective in order to add value to anything. We should know our importance and also the correct position that belongs to us.
