What a Shame !!!!!!!!!!

By the time you read this news, the body of Major Manish Pitambare, who 
was shot dead at Anantnag, would have been cremated with full military 
honors.
On Tuesday, this news swept across all the news channels ‘Sanjay Dutt 
relieved by court’. ‘Sirf Munna not a bhai’ ‘13 saal ka vanvaas khatam’  
’although found guilty for possession of armory, Sanjay can breath sigh 
of relief as all the TADA charges against him are withdrawn’ Then many 
personalities like Salman Khan said ‘He is a good person. We knew he 
will come out clean’.  Mr Big B said “Dutt’s family and our family have 
relations for years he’s a good kid. He is like elder brother to 
Abhishek”. His sister Priya Dutt said “we can sleep well tonight. It ’s a 
great relief”
In other news, Parliament was mad at Indian team for performing bad; 
Greg Chappell said something; Shah Rukh Khan replaces Amitabh in KBC and 
other such stuff. But most of the emphasis was given on Sanjay Dutt’s 
”phoenix like” comeback from the ashes of terrorist charges. Surfing 
through the channels, one news on BBC startled me. It read “Hisbul 
Mujahidin’s most wanted terrorist ‘Sohel Faisal’ killed in Anantnag , India . 
Indian Major leading the operation lost his life in the process. Four 
others are injured.
 
It was past midnight, I started visiting the stupid Indian channels, 
but Sanjay Dutt was still ruling. They were telling how Sanjay pleaded to 
the court saying ‘I’m the sole bread earner for my family’, ‘I have a 
daughter who is studying in US’ and so on. Then they showed how Sanjay 
was not wearing his lucky blue shirt while he was hearing the verdict 
and also how he went to every temple and prayed for the last few months. 
A suspect in Mumbai bomb blasts, convicted under armory act…was being 
transformed into a hero.
 
Sure Sanjay Dutt has a daughter; Sure he did not do any terrorist 
activity. Possessing an AK47 is considered too elementary in terrorist 
community and also one who possesses an AK47 has a right to possess a pistol 
so that again is not such a big crime; Sure Sanjay Dutt went to all the 
temples; Sure he did a lot of Gandhigiri but then………..
 
 
Major Manish H Pitambare got the information from his sources about the 
terrorists’ whereabouts. Wasting no time he attacked the camp, killed 
Hisbul Mujahidin’s supremo and in the process lost his life to the 
bullets fired from an AK47. He is survived by a wife and daughter (just like 
Sanjay Dutt) who’s only 18 months old.
 
 
Major Manish never said ‘I have a daughter’ before he took the decision 
to attack the terrorists in the darkest of nights. He never thought 
about having a family and he being the bread earner. No news channel 
covered this since they were too busy hyping a former drug addict, a suspect 
who’s linked to bomb blasts which killed hundreds. Their aim was to 
show how he defied the TADA charges and they were so successful that his 
conviction in possession of armory had no meaning. They also concluded 
that his parents in heaven must be happy and proud of him.
 
Parents of Major Manish are still living and they have to live rest of 
their lives without their beloved son. His daughter won’t ever see her 
daddy again. Finally Major Manish, to my generation is a greater hero, 
someone who laid his life in the name of this great nation.
 
So guys, u knows which news to give importance, as it is a shame for us since this Army Major’s death news was given by a foreign TV channel!!!

quotes of love

I think.........,One does not fall 'in' or 'out' of love. One grows in 
love......... coz nothing is inside and outside of love...everthing we 
do, we care, we want, exists within the love.
Love is the difficult realization that something other than oneself is 
real 
love is like a speech,any fool can start it but ending it rpuires 
cosiderable skill 
 It can b very easy 2 fall in love but it is very difficult to find 
someone who can catch you when you fall... 
 love me the most when i deserve it the least thats when i need it the 
most
 Worlds most beautiful sentence=> But, I love you........
Worlds most painful sentence => I love you, but........ 
 Many take differences as fact of life knowing nobody is perfect 
n r ready to accept their love ones as they r....
 Many want to change their love ones to become those
he/she is not n just to meet the expectation that will never b possible 
 love is not about finding the perfect person. but learning to see an 
imperfect person perfectly. 
 In life.. i found you.. 
In you .. i found life..! thats love 
 its better to lose your pride for someone you love rather than lose 
that someone you love for your useless pride 
love endures only when lovers love many things together & not merely 
each other 
  
love is like heaven but it can hurt like hell-sharon stone 
It takes only 3 seconds to say 'I Love You' ...But it takes a lifetime 
to prove it 
 
We never get what we want
We never want what we get
Wenever have what we like 
We never like what we have
Still we live...
Still we love...
Still we hope... 
 
(i belive its true)I love you, not for what you are, but for what I am 
when I am with you
 
Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.'
Mature love says: 'I need you because I love you.' 
I would rather be blind than not to see you. I would rather not hear 
anything than not to hear you, I would rather lose my voice if I didnt 
tell this to you, that I would rather lose my heart than not love you.

BEWARE OF THESE ORGANISATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!! part II

 

Thks for ur overwhelming response .. but  I was bit upset when i saw everybody has some or other difficulty with an organization but nobody coming forward with a complain. Hope with this blog some thing will change      



                                  BEWARE OF   COUNTRY CLUB, BANGALORE

 They advertise that if you take their membership, a plot of land will be
  given free of cost near Golden Spa at Coconut Grove. Please note Golden
  Spa is 35 Kns from Bangalore and the said plot of land is over 100 Kms
  from Bangalore. Based on false promises and with arrangement with Citibank
  and ICICI Bank, this team cheats the consumers of his money by asking
  payments through credit card.

                       BOOK TELESALES & RECOVERY AGENTS
  If you receive unwanted advertisement / telemarketing call from any
  company or recovery agents. Ask their telephone number and report to the
 police. File a police complaint against the Chairman of the company.
                  

                BEWARE OF   TATAINDICOM BROADBAND
  Their promises to get you a broadband connection within a week is not to
  be relied upon. Once your money is stuck (about Rs. 2000), it takes lot of
  pains to recover it back.

             CAREFUL WHEN DEALING WITH THESE COMPANIES / PRODUCTS
  LIST OF WORST COMPANIES AGAINST WHOM WE RECEIVE COMPLAINTS VERY FREQUENTLY
  AIRLINES: Air Deccan
  BANKS: ICICI bank, Citibank, Standard Chartered Bank
  BUILDERS: Parimiti Buildcon (Thane), Madras City Co-op Bldg. Soc (Chennai)
  CARS: Tata motors, Hyundai
  CREDIT CARDS: SBI credit card, Citibank, Standard Chartered
  CELLPHONE SERVICES: Tata Indicom Broadband, Airtel, BPL mobile

  (Bangalore), Country Club India Ltd. (Bangalore)
  TRANSPORTERS: Sky Packers and Movers (Mumbai), Packways Pvt. Ltd.(Mumbai),
  Sai Packers and Movers (Mumbai)

                   ARE U BEING HARASSED BY CONSUMER COURTS?
   It has been seen that consumer are being   harassed in the consumer courts when they go there to submit consumer  complaint and attend hearings. They are not being served properly by the
  clerks, and the judges keep on giving hearing dates without arriving to
  judgment. These acts are contrary to the purpose of setting up of consumer
 courts that were basically meant to help the consumers. Please inform 
  if you have experienced or witnessed harassment or corruption. Inform with
  the exact time, date, and location of the incident in writing through duly
  signed letter. Your details will not be disclosed on this website, but you
  should be ready to co-operate when action against these people is
  initiated by nabbing them through proper channel.

BEWARE OF THESE ORGANISATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!! part I

                                  BEWARE OF THESE BANKS
  Looking at the rising complaints against ICICI Bank, Citibank, and
  Standard Chartered Bank , we request consumers to properly read their
  documents and keep a record when dealing with these banks, especially
  regarding credit card and housing loan. These three banks are biggest
  defaulters and do not resolve consumer problems easily. Be aware of their
  terms in writing. Keep a perfect record of all correspondence with them.
  If they do not agree to written communication, immediately stop their
  services.
                               BEWARE OF NOKIA
  Nokia assures that their handset is covered under insurance. They even
  provide a certificate of insurance. But the condition is that if the
  handset is lost/stolen, you have to lodge an FIR to seek claims. The catch
  here is that the police station does not lodge FIR for loss of handsets,
  they only register NC. So you will never get insurance claims on basis of
  NC.
  Nokia is selling some of its degraded products that have software
  problems. If you come across such problem in a new set, do not waste your
  time in running around service centres as it is not going to help much,
  ask for a replacement with a new set.
  DO NOT BUY NOKIA 6260

                                  BEWARE OF AIR DECCAN

  Their confirmed bookings are highly unreliable and of no guarantee that u
  will be allowed to fly . The booked tickets get cancelled without
  intimation to consumer only to be known by him when he goes to the airport
  to catch his flight.

School Days Memories

Gone are the days
When the school reopened in June,
And we settled in our new desks and benches.
Gone are the days
When we queued up in book depot,
And got our new books and notes.
Gone are the days
When we wanted two Sundays and no Mondays, yet
Managed to line up daily for the morning prayers.
Gone are the days
When we chased one another in the corridors in Intervals,
And returned to the classrooms drenched in sweat.
Gone are the days
When we had lunch in classrooms, corridors,
Playgrounds, under the trees and even in cycle sheds.
Gone are the days
When a single P.T. period in the week's Time Table, Was awaited more
eagerly than the monsoons.
Gone are the days
Of fights but no conspiracies,
Of Competitions but seldom jealousy.
Gone are the days
When we used to watch Live Cricket telecast,
In the opposite house in Intervals and Lunch breaks.
 
Gone are the days
When few rushed at 5:30 to
"Conquer" window seats in our School bus.
Gone are the days
Of Sports Day, and the annual School Day,
And the one-month long preparations for them.
Gone are the days
Of the stressful Quarterly, Half Yearly and Annual Exams,
And the most enjoyed holidays after them.
Gone are the days
We learnt, we enjoyed, we played, we won, we lost, We laughed, we 
cried,
we fought, we thought.
Gone are the days
With so much fun in them, so many friends,
So much experience, all this and more.
Gone are the days
But not the memories, which will be
Lingering in our hearts for ever and ever and
Ever and ever and Ever.
I hope you went back to your Golden Olden days..........
For a while..........as I DID!!
DID u??

NarayanaMurthy's views on staying late in the office

It's half  past 8 in the office
but the lights are still on...

PCs still  running,
coffee machines still buzzing...
and who's at work?

Most of  them??? Take a closer look...

All or most specimens are ??-something  male species of the human race...
Look closer... again all or most of  them are bachelors...
and why are they sitting late? Working hard? No way!!!  

Any guesses???

Let's ask one of them...

Here's what he says... "What's  there 2 do after going home... here we get to surf, AC, phone, food,  coffee.. that is why I am working late... importantly no bossssssss!!!!!!!!!!!  
This is the scene in most research centers and software companies and other  off-shore offices.

Bachelors "time-passing" during late hours in the office  just bcoz they say they've nothing else to do...
Now what r the  consequences... read on...

"Working"(for the record only) late hours soon  becomes part of the institute or company culture.

With bosses more than eager  to provide support to those "working" late in the form of taxi vouchers, food  vouchers and of course good feedback,(oh, he's a hard worker... goes home only  to change..!!).They aren't helping things too... To hell with bosses who don't  understand the difference between "sitting" late and "working"  late!!!
Very soon, the boss start expecting all employees to put in extra  working hours.

So, My dear Bachelors let me tell you, life changes when u get  married and start having a family... office is no longer a priority, family  is... and that's when the problem starts... becoz u start having commitments at  home too.
For your boss, the earlier "hardworking" guy suddenly seems to  become a "early leaver" even if u leave an hour after regulartime... after doing  the same amount of work.
People leaving on time after doing their tasks for  the day are labeled as work-shirkers...

Girls who thankfully always (its  changing nowadays... though) leave on time are labeled as "not up to it". All  the while, the bachelors pat their own backs and carry on "working" not  realizing that they r spoiling the work culture at their own place and never  realize that they wuld have to regret at one point of time.
*So what's the  moral of the story?? *

* Very clear, LEAVE ON TIME!!!

* Never put in extra  time " *unless really needed *"

* Don't stay back un-necessarily and spoil  your company work culture which will in turn cause inconvenience to you and your  colleagues. There are hundred other things to do in the evening..
Learn  music...

Learn a foreign language...
try a sport... TT,  cricket.........

importantly Get a girl friend or gal friend, take him/her  around town...
* And for heaven's sake net cafe rates have dropped to an  all-time low (plus, no fire-walls) and try cooking for a change.

Take a tip  from the Smirnoff ad: *"Life's calling, where are you??"*

Please pass on this  message to all those colleagues And please do it before leaving time, don't stay  back till midnight to

forward this!!!
 
 

ITS A TYPICAL INDIAN  MENTALITY THAT WORKING FOR LONG HOURS MEANS VERY HARD WORKING & 100%  COMMITMENT ETC.
 

PEOPLE WHO  REGULARLY SIT LATE IN THE OFFICE DONT KNOW TO MANAGE THEIR TIME.  SIMPLE.
 

To hell with bosses  who don't understand the difference between "sitting" late and "working"  late!!!
