No Man is worth a woman's tears. The only one who's worth her tears is the one who knows he could but would never, ever make her cry.
A Wonderful extract from Narayana Murthy's Speech!!
LOVE YOUR JOB, BUT NEVER FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR COMPANY BCOZ U NEVER
KNOW WHEN COMPANY STOPS LOVING YOU - Narayana Murthy
Extract of Mr. Narayana Murthy's Speech during Mentor Session:
I know people who work 12 hours a day, six days a week, or more. Some
People do so because of a work emergency where the long hours are only
temporary.
Other people I know have put in these hours for years.
I don't know if they are working all these hours, but I do know they are
in the office this long.
Others put in long office hours because they are addicted to the
workplace. Whatever the reason for putting in overtime, working long
hours over the long term is harmful to the person and to the
organization.
There are things managers can do to change this for everyone's benefit.
Being in the office long hours, over long periods of time, makes way For
potential errors. My colleagues who are in the office long hours
Frequently make mistakes caused by fatigue. Correcting these mistakes
requires Their time as well as the time and energy of others. I have
seen people work Tuesday through Friday to correct mistakes made after 5
PM on Monday.
Another problem is that people who are in the office long hours are not
pleasant company. They often complain about other people (who aren't
working as hard); they are irritable, or cranky, or even angry.
Other people avoid them. Such behaviour poses problems, where work goes
much better when people work together instead of avoiding one another.
As Managers, there are things we can do to help people leave the office.
First and foremost is to set the example and go home ourselves. I work
with a manager who chides people for working long hours. His wo! ! rds
quickly lose their meaning when he sends these chiding group e-mails
with a time-stamp of 2 AM, Sunday. Second is to encourage people to put
some balance in their lives. For instance, here is a guideline I find
helpful:
1) Wake up, eat a good breakfast, and go to work.
2) Work hard and smart for eight or nine hours.
3) Go home.
4) Read the comics, watch a funny movie, dig in the
dirt, play with your kids, etc.
5) Eat well and sleep well.
This is called recreating. Doing steps 1, 3, 4, and 5 enable step 2.
Working regular hours and recreating daily are simple concepts. They are
hard for some of us because that requires personal change. They are
possible since we all have the power to choose to do them. In
considering the issue of overtime, I am reminded of my oldest son. When
he was a toddler, if people were visiting the apartment, he would not
fall asleep no matter how long the visit, and no matter what time of day
it was. He would fight off sleep until the visitors left. It was as if
he was afraid that he would miss something. Once our visitors' left, he
would go to sleep. By this time, however, he was over tired and would
scream through half the night with nightmares. He, my wife, and I, all
paid the price for his fear of missing out. Perhaps some people put in
such long hours because they don't want to miss anything when they leave
the office. The trouble with this is that events will never stop
happening. That is life!! Things happen 24 hours a day. Allowing for
little rest is not ultimately practical. So, take a nap. Things will
happen while you're asleep, but you will have the energy to catch up
when you wake.
Hence "LOVE YOUR JOB BUT NEVER FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR COMPANY"

Vajpai was giving a speech on family planning.
Laloo got angry, said ' When u don't play the game dont make the rules'.

JIN me basi JANAKI, RUM me base RAM, WHISKY me base WISHNU,
aur SHAMPAIGN me base SHYAM, Kis kis ka tyaag
karu mein, har bottle me bhagwaan.

Lady drinking Coke, macchar falls in.
Lady takes it out.
Macchar say "MAA !" lady ask why did u called ma "MAA"
macchar say "Main teri coke se nikla hoon MAA!".
-----------------------
Ladka: Janeman is dil mein aaja.
Ladki: Sandal nikalu kya?
Ladka: Pagli mandir thode hi hai, aise hi aaja!!
-----------------------
Suraj Hua Madham , chand bhi chalne laga,
mein thehra raha, zamin chalne lagi, sajna kya yehi pyaar hai ??
Nalayak, yeh pyar nahi EARTHQUAKE hai ! BHAAG
-----------------------
Itna khubsurat kaise muskura lete ho.....
Itna qatil kaise sharma lete ho.....
Kitni aasani se Jaan le lete ho.....
Kisi ne sikhaya hai... ya bachpan se hi kamine ho ?
-----------------------
ab Jab tum angdai lete ho dam hamara nikal jata hai.
Aye Jalim Deodrant lagane me tumharey bap ka kya jata hai ?!
-----------------------
Pyaar ke jaam ko aise na piyo,
ke Adha piya aur adha chod diya
Yaron yeh pyaar hai pyaar
Nahin koi Vim Bar
Jo thodasa lagaya aur bas hogaya.......!!
