Think out of box

Below are the Interview Questions, which were asked in HR Round.....

No one will GET second chance to impress....

Very very Impressive Questions and Answers..... ...

Question 1:

You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, it's raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for a bus:

  • An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
  • An old friend who once saved your life.
  • The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.
Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing very well that there could only be one passenger in your car?

This is a moral/ethical dilem ma that was once ac tually used as part of a job application.

* You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first;
 
* or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and  this would be the perfect chance to! pay him back.

* However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.

The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer. Guess what was his answer?
 
He simply answered:

"I would give the car keys to my Old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams."
 
Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations. Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box."

Question 2:

What will you do if I run away with your sister?"

The candidate who was selected answered " I will not get a better match for my sister than you sir"

Question 3:

Interviewer (to a student girl candidate) - What is one morning you woke up & found that you were pregnant.
 
Girl - I will be very excited and take an off, to celebrate with my husband.
 
Normally an unmarried girl will be shocked to hear this, but she managed it well. Why I should think it in the wrong way, she said later when asked

Question 4:
 
Interviewer: He ordered a cup of coffee for the candidate. Coffee arrived kept before the candidate, then he asked what is before you?
 
Candidate: Instantly replied "Tea"

He got selected.
 
You know how and why did he say "TEA" when he knows very well that coffee was kept before.

(Answer: The question was "What is before you (U - alphabet) Reply was

"TEA" ( T - alphabet)

Alphabet "T" was before Alphabet "U"

Question 5:

Where Lord Rama would have celebrated his "First Diwali"?

People will start thinking of Ayodya, Mitila [Janaki's place], Lanka etc...
 
But the logic is, Diwali was a celebrated as a mark of Lord Krishna Killing Narakasura. In Dusavataar, Krishnavathaar comes after Raamavathaar.

So, Lord Rama would not have celebrated the Diwali At all!

Question 6:

The interviewer asked to the candidate "This is your last question of the interview. Please tell me the exact position of the center of this table where u have kept your files."
 
Candidate confidently put one of his finger at some point at the table and told that this was the central point at the table.

Interviewer asked how did u get to know that this being the central point of this table, then he answers quickly that

"sir u r not likely to ask any more question, as it was the last question that u promised to ask....."

And hence, he was selected as because of his quick-wittedness. .......

This is What Interviewer expects from the Interviewee. ...

Corruption in Common wealth games

Common wealth games are very close-by. Its one of the biggest event to be happen in a developing country like India. The whole world is watching keenly how well India is going to host this International event. But now our own people have made us feel so ashamed after media brought few things into limelight.

First, Corruption in Common wealth was made as a hot topic. So Kalmadi stated that there was no corruption and everything was going on very perfectly.He and his team were working hard on it.

Since this issue turned up to be big and he left he himself might have to resign, he made a member in his committee to resign.

Second,an issue started that the money was not sufficient to host the games. So they might need an 100 more crores for this for completing the pending work.

Third, even at the peak time of only one month remaining, no stadiums was up to the mark. Many were under construction. Many stadiums were waterlogged. When media questioned Kalmadi he said everything will be fine when the event begins.

Fouth, the major insult came when four international teams declared that Common Village as unlivable. What else is left to make Indians feel ashamed of ?

Added to this the over bridge near Jawaharlal Nehru Statidum collapsed injuring many which added masala to all the happenings.

Only now the Indian government has considered this to be a serious issue and have held up some meetings to discuss the progress and other pending work.

Its now too late to react. If Indian government had a overlook on these , things would have not gone so worst.

Now the whole world knows India is not fit to handle something like this.

Because of few corrupted Indians, all of us now embrassed before the whole world.

Jai HInd!!!!

Science on life after death

In 1991, Atlanta, Ga. resident Pam Reynolds had a near-death experience (NDE). Reynolds underwent surgery for a brain aneurysm, and the procedure required doctors to drain all the blood from her brain. Reynolds was kept literally brain-dead by the surgical team for a full 45 minutes. Despite being clinically dead, when Reynolds was resuscitated, she described some amazing things. She recounted experiences she had while dead -- like interacting with deceased relatives. Even more amazing is that Reynolds was able to describe aspects of the surgical procedure, down to the bone saw that was used to remove part of her skull.

What's remarkable (although not unique) about Reynolds' experience is that it is the combination of an NDE and an out-of-body-experience (OBE).Science, too, has made its own headway toward explaining these weird phenomena. Two studies on the separate aspects of Reynolds' experience were conducted in 2007. Each seems to explain how a person can have an OBE or a NDE, but do they hold up in explaining experiences like Reynolds'?

­As many as 18 percent of people brought back from death after a heart attack said they'd had a NDE . While many religious adherents might not be surprised by these accounts, the idea that human consciousness and the body exist distinctly from each other flies in the face of science. A brain-dead person should not be able to form new memories -- he shouldn't have any consciousness at all, really.

A study from the University of Kentucky has quickly gained ground among scientists as possibly the best explanation for NDEs. Researchers there theorize that the mysterious phenomenon is really an instance of the sleep disorder rapid eye movement (REM) intrusion. In this disorder, a person's mind can wake up before his body, and hallucinations and the feeling of being physically detached from his body can occur.

The Kentucky researchers believe that NDEs are actually REM intrusions triggered in the brain by traumatic events like cardiac arrest. If this is true, then this means the experiences of some people following near-death are confusion from suddenly and unexpectedly entering a dream-like state.

This theory helps explain what has always been a tantalizing aspect of the mystery of NDEs: how people can experience sights and sounds after confirmed brain death. The area where REM intrusion is triggered is found in the brain stem -- the region that controls the most basic functions of the body -- and it can operate virtually independent from the higher brain. So even after the higher regions of the brain are dead, the brain stem can conceivably continue to function, and REM intrusion could still occur [source: BBC].

BURNT BISCUITS !!

Hi friends,
          Good Evening.. Let me narrate you a  short and cute story about relationship...

"Understanding is the base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or siblings or friendship! "Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket - keep it in your own."
 
Let me start off with the story "Burnt Biscuits"...

When I was a kid, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burned biscuits in front of my dad.


      I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his biscuit, smile at my mom and ask me how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that biscuit and eat every bite!

      When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for burning the biscuits. And I'll never forget what he said: "Honey, I love burned biscuits."

        Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his biscuits burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, "Your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she's real tired. And besides - a little burnt biscuit never hurt anyone!"

        Life is full of imperfect things.....and imperfect people. I'm not the best at hardly anything, and I forget birthdays and anniversaries just like everyone else. 

       But what I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each others faults - and choosing to celebrate each others differences - is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship.

JOKES!!!!!!

 Hi friends,

          Here are some jokes to make you cool........


A foreign tourist hired a guide to take him around Delhi and Agra. At the
Red Fort at Delhi, he admired the architecture and asked how many years it
took to build.

Twenty years,. replied the guide.

You Indians are a lazy lot,. the tourist said. .In my country, this could
have been built in five..

At Agra he admired the Taj's beauty and asked how many years it took to
build.Only ten years,. said the guide.

The tourist retorted: .You Indians are slow! We can construct such
buildings in two-and-a-half..

In this fashion the tourist claimed that every building he admired could
have been built in his country in quarter the time.

Finally, when they reached the Qutab Minar, and the tourist asked what it was, the guide replied: .I don.t know. It wasn't there yesterday evening..

German Parking Garage!!

Hi friends,

How's this for an engineering feat?
 
GERMAN  PARKING GARAGE in   Munich ,  Germany 

This is pretty amazing!
Can you imagine how all this operates? 

How do they lock each  car in its cubicle for safety?
WHO CARES?
NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND COULD GET IN IT HERE.
(But believe me, the Germans WILL LOCK THAT CAR!)

Talk about German efficiency!  The two photos above were taken at a new parking garage in  Munich .  The actual space that the facility occupies is approximately only 20% of a comparable facility with the traditional design that is used primarily in the  US .

 Not only is the German structure less expensive to build, but vehicles are also 'retrieved' in less time and without the potential of being damaged by an attendant

Googly From today's Mid-Day Mumbai


Hi friends,

         

Like others, this man too, had a dream.

Like  others , he too pushed his way into the crowded train

Like others, he too wanted to get going before he got delayed

Unlike others, he slipped and fell in the gap between the train and the platform at Kandivli station.

And eight bogies went over him


Find out what happened to this man on 
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

.
The man obviously has a guardian angel and supportive bystanders who told him exactly what he shouldn’t do — move. And so, the man lay absolutely still as eight bogies of the train passed over him — centimeters from his head. Within seconds the 12-coach train passed and the man clambered out, unaided, unhurt, but too shocked to speak to us after his near-death experience

Short Story !!!!

Hi friends,

           Here is an short story.. Read and enjoy this evening...

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She reduced altitude and spotted a man below. She descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me Sir, can you help me? I promised a friend, I would meet him an hour ago but I don't know where I am."

The man below replied, "You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude."

''You must be an engineer," said the lady balloonist.

"I am", replied the man. 'How did you know?'

''Well", answered the lady in the balloon, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip even more."

The engineer below responded, "You must be in Top Management."

''I am", replied the lady balloonist, "but, how did you know?''


"Well," said the Engineer, "You don't know where you are, or where you're going. You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you, to solve your problems."

FOOL'S DAY!!!!

Hi friends,


            Do you know the reason Why "April 1st is called Fool's day???"..


             There are lot of theories but the famous one is given here:

            * Till 1500's everyone used julian calendar,in that April 1st was New Year.
            * But when it was Changed to Gregorian Calendar, the new year was also changed to Jan 1st. 
           * So it was said that only fools celebrated April 1st as New Year and the years passed by and so it was called a s"FOOL'S DAY"..

PATH TO PARADISE!!!

Hi friends,


             This is an EXCELLENT STORY.. WORTH READING.. I WAS REALLY AMAZED BY THIS STORY..

         Every Friday afternoon, after the Juma prayers, the Imam and his eleven year old son would  go out into their town and hand out "PATH TO PARADISE" and other Islamic literature.
This particular and fortunate Friday afternoon, as the time came for the Imam and his son to go to the streets with their booklets,  it was very cold outside, as well as pouring rain.
The boy bundled up in his warmest and driest clothes and said,  'OK, dad, I'm ready!'


        His dad asked, 'Ready for what' 'Dad, it's time we go out and distribute these Islamic books.' Dad responds, 'Son, it's very cold outside and it's pouring rain.' 
The boy gives his dad a surprised look, asking, 'But Dad, aren't people still going to hell, even though it's raining?'


      Dad answers, 'Son, I am not going out in this weather.'  Despondently, the boy asks, 'Dad, can I go Please' His father hesitated for a moment then said, 'Son, you can go. Here are the booklets. Be careful son.'
'Thanks, Dad!'

And with that, he was off and out into the rain. This eleven year old boy walked the streets of the town going door to door and handing everybody he met in the street a pamphlet or a booklet.

After two hours of walking in the rain, he was soaking, bone-chilled wet and down to his VERY LAST BOOKLET.He stopped on a corner and looked for someone to hand a booklet to, but the streets were totally deserted.

Then he turned toward the first home he saw and started up the Side walk to the front door and rang the door bell. He rang the bell, but nobody answered..He rang it again and again, but still no one answered. He waited but still no answer.

Finally, he turned to leave, but something stopped him. Again, he turned to the door and rang the bell and knocked loudly on the door with his fist. He waited, something holding him there on the front  porch!

He rang again and this time the door slowly opened. Standing in the doorway was a very sad-looking elderly lady. She softly asked, 'What can I do for you, son?' With radiant eyes and a smile that lit up her world, this little boy said, 'Ma'am, I'm sorry if I disturbed you, but I just want to tell you that ALLAH REALLY LOVES AND CARES FOR YOU and I came to give you my very last booklet which will tell you all about God, the real purpose of creation, and how to achieve His pleasure.' With that, he handed her his last booklet and turned to leave. She called to him as he departed. 'Thank you, son! And God Bless You!'

Next week on Friday afternoon after Juma prayers, the Imam was giving some lectures. As he concludes the lectures, he asked, 'Does anybody have questions or want to say anything?' Slowly, in the back row among the ladies, an elderly lady's voice was heard over the speaker.

'No one in this gathering knows me. I've never been here before. You see, before last Friday I was not a Muslim, and thought I could be.

My husband died few years ago, leaving me totally alone in this world.. Last Friday, being a particularly cold and rainy day, I was contemplating suicide as I had no hope left.

So I took a rope and a chair and ascended the stairway into the attic of my home.. I fastened the rope securely to a rafter in the roof then stood on the chair and fastened the other end of the rope around my neck. Standing on that chair, so lonely and broken- hearted. I was about to leap off, when suddenly the loud ringing of my doorbell downstairs startled me.

I thought, I'll wait a minute, and whoever it is will go away.

I waited and waited, but the ringing doorbell seemed to get louder and more insistent, and then the person ringing also started knocking loudly....

I thought to myself again, 'Who on earth could this be?

Nobody ever rings my bell or comes to see me.' I loosened the rope from my neck and started for the front door, all the while the bell rang louder and louder.

When I opened the door and looked I could hardly believe my eyes, for there on my front porch was the most radiant and angelic little boy I had ever seen in my life. His SMILE, oh, I could never describe it to you! The words that came from his mouth caused my heart that had long been dead TO LEAP TO LIFE as he exclaimed with a cherub-like voice, 'Ma'am, I just came to tell you that:

ALLAH REALLY LOVES AND CARES FOR YOU!'

Then he gave me this booklet, Path To Paradise that I now hold in my hand.

As the little angel disappeared back out into the cold and rain,  I closed my door and read slowly every word of this book.

Then I went up to my attic to get my rope and chair.

I wouldn't be needing them anymore.You see? I am now a Happy Vicegerent of the One True God.

Since the address of your congregation was stamped on the back of this booklet, I have come here to personally say THANK YOU to God's little angel who came just in the nick of time and by so doing, spared my soul from an eternity in hell.'

There was not a dry eye in the mosque.

The shouts of TAKBIR.. ALLAH AKBAR.. rented the air.

Imam-Dad descended from the pulpit to the front row where the little angel was seated....

He took his son in his arms and sobbed uncontrollably.

Probably no jama'at has had a more glorious moment, and probably this universe has never seen a father that was more filled with love and honor for his son...

Remember, God's message CAN make the difference in the life of  someone close to you.

GOD BLESS US ALL.

Common sense is not so common !

Hi friends,


       Many of us have Common sense. We must have heard people saying "Don't you have common sense"?? What this actually mean??? Here is a short story to explain that in detail..


          There came a big flood, and the water around Bhola's house was rising steadily..

        Bhola was standing on the porch, watching water rising all around him, when a man in a boat came along and called to Bhola, "Get in the boat and I'll get you out of here. Bhola replied, "No thanks, God will save me."

       Bhola went into the house, and the water was starting to pour in. So, he went up to the second floor.

       As he looked out, another man in a boat came along, and he called to Bhola, "Get in the boat and I'll get you out of here."

      Again, Bhola replied, "No thanks. God will save me."

       The water kept rising. So, Bhola got out onto the roof.

        A helicopter flew over, and the pilot called down to Bhola, "I'll drop you a rope,grab onto it, and I'll get you out of here."

       Again Bhola replied, "No thanks. God will save me."

      The water rose and rose, and soon nearly covered the whole house. Bhola fell in, and drowned.

         When he arrived in Heaven, he saw God, and asked Him, "Why didn't you save me from that terrible flood? Did I not show you my faith?"

        With a loving but irritated tone God replied, "What more would you have me do? I sent people in two boats and a helicopter."

Powers in the Workplace!!


Hi friends,

Discussions        Everyone has power.The issue becomes what kind of power a person has and how someone uses that power.  Here are some of the common types of power found in the workplace.

      Coercive power is associated with people who are in a position to punish others. People fear the consequences of not doing what has been asked of them.
 
     Connection power is based upon who you know.  This person knows, and has the ear of, other powerful people within the organization.

     Expert power comes from a person’s expertise (duh!).  This is commonly a person with an acclaimed skill or accomplishment.
A person who has access to valuable or important information possesses informational power.

     Legitimate power comes from the position a person holds.  This is related to a person’s title and job responsibilities.  You might also hear this referred to as positional power.

      People who are well-liked and respected can have referent power.
Reward power is based upon a person’s ability to bestow rewards.  Those rewards might come in the form of job assignments, schedules, pay or benefits.

Management Lesson!!

Hi friends,


             Here is a short and sweet Management Lesson. Just read this interesting story!!!



           A butcher watching over his shop is really surprised when he sees a dog coming inside the shop. He shoos him away. But later, the dog is back again. So, he goes over to the dog and notices' it has a note in its mouth. He takes the note and it reads, "Can I have 12 sausages and a leg of lamb, please."

        The dog has money in its mouth, as well. The butcher looks inside and, low and behold, there is a $10 note there. So he takes the money and puts the sausages and lamb in a bag, placing it in the dog's mouth. The butcher is so impressed, and since it's about closing time, he decides to shut the shop and follow the dog. So off he goes.

        The dog is walking down the street, when it comes to a level crossing the dog puts down the bag, jumps up and presses the button.Then it waits patiently, bag in mouth, for the lights to turn. They do, and it walks across the road, with the butcher following him all the way. The dog then comes to a bus stop, and starts looking at the timetable. The butcher is in awe as the dog stops a bus by pulling its left leg up and gets in it. The butcher follows the dog into the bus.

        The dog then shows a ticket, which is tied to its belt to the bus conductor. The butcher is nearly fainting at this sight, so are the other passengers in the bus.The dog then sits near the driver's seat looking outside waiting for the bus stop to come. As soon as the stop is in sight, the dog stands and wags its tail to inform the conductor.

       Then, without waiting for the bus to stop completely, it jumps out of the bus and runs to a house very close to the stop. It opens the big iron gate and rushes inside towards the door.As it approaches the wooden door, the dog suddenly changes its mind and heads towards the garden. It goes to the window, and beats its head against it several times, walks back, jumps off, and waits at the door.
 

        The butcher watches as a big guy opens the door, and starts abusing the dog, kicking him and punching him, and swearing at him.

        The butcher surprised with this, runs up, and stops the guy. "What in heaven's name are you doing? The dog is a genius. He could be on TV, for the life of me!" to which the guy responds: "You call this clever? This is the second time this week that this stupid dog's forgotten his key."
 

Moral of the story...

          You may continue to Exceed onlookers' expectations but shall always fall short of Manipulative, Crooked & Use & Throw bosses' expectations.

Migraine & allergy attacks-Some Thoughts!!


Hi,

         I wanted to express my gratitude to share valuable tips and suggestions to get relief from the dangerous drugs i had been taking to get over migraine which were completely ruining physically but also had a very adverse effect.

NOTES ON ALLERGY & MIGRANE SHARED BY HEMANT:
 
          No one has been able to get grip on Migrane and no Dr can claim "there is cure for Migrane". One has to apply his mind and check what suits him/her. Sometimes, you get amazing results. That is why people suffering from Migrane go to anyone and everyone. Whether it is proven quack, expert, home remedies, tips from friends and so on.

           All sufferers of Migrane and allergy attacks want immediate Peace and some are even willing to die than bear the pain.

          Migrane and allergy attacks can create havoc. It doesnt allow a patient to sleep as the head keeps thumping. It makes one sluggish. Active Sex Life is ruined. Migrane or an allergy attack gives a feeling as if someone is brutally torturing you in a jail.

What one needs to observe is :

1. Avoid eating : Cucumber, brinjals, curd, tamarind, sour items, bhel puris, chaat items with tamarind water, paani puri, sugary sweets, maida based items, deep fried items, drink luke warm water (with tulsi leaves and 2 pcs of clove) - have min. 2 ltrs during the day. Go low on water as evening approaches. 

Do regular steam inhalation for couple of minutes. Vacuum clean beds, pillows and car seats every fortnight. When this process is on, one must stay out of the house as inhaling dust can trigger the attack.

No loud music as it can trigger the attack. Do not see negative serials, negative talks and avoid discussing dirty gossips. The brain loves to churn all this once we go to sleep and then the trigger starts.

2. Avoid alcohol of any kind, non-veg & smoke completely (also the smell). No soft drinks, maida buiscuits or maida based rotis or anything, pickles, have brown bread and puffed rice (not white rice).

No Carpets in house and strictly avoid using deos. Avoid unhygenic areas with sharp smell ( that includes dust, paint, house or train/public urinals, restaurants, hotel rooms etc). Maintain excellent Oral hygiene 24 x7.

Strictly wear U/v sunglasses when going out. Do not go out in direct sun. Wear white cap in Summer.

3. Eat freshly cooked food. No cold water and icecreams. Avoid citric fruits. Eat seasonal fruits/salads first and then after 30-45 mins have meals. Have early dinner.

 Get ionisers installed or get A.C with ioniser. Close windows in night whenever migrane/allergy is On. You may use A.C at room temperature.

 Go low on spice, salt and white sugar. Instead have jaggery based sweets. Develop taste for mixed salads (without salt and masala or v.low idoised salt). Strictly wash vegetables with luke warm water before using them for cooking/salad.

4. Drink green tea without sugar. Eat Five Grain/marrie buiscuits. No chocolates.

5. Go for walk early morning when sound and vehicle pollution is lowest. Avoid daily head bath. Avoid late night bath. Have early morning morning 5 minutes Sun and Air bath (rising Sun and only 5 min to start with).

6. Do Pranayam (Only 3 minutes can give dramatic results) - 2 hours before eating breakfast. Listen to soft Holy Hymns regularly early morning. Smile more genuinely (not the Airhostess plastic and commercial smile). A smile relaxes 64 heart muscles.

7. Do not speak embarassing words or ask embarassing questions. Observe everything but enquire gently and innocently.

8. Avoid speaking too much on cell phones. Switch over to SMS and email communication. Radiation from cell phones can also trigger Migrane.

9. Have good back up for cleaning, washing and sweeping the house. Stay away from all these jobs as cleaning chemicals are very powerful and can also trigger attack.

10. Go to hilly region to spend some time and breathe fresh air. Try homeopathy and Reiki. It will help you to get youthful energy back.

11. Regularly trim unwanted body hair and nails.

Migrane and allergy attacks drain out youthful energy and makes the body hugely old and age faster than you can dream.

Shanvi Davis-Great American Olympian!!!

Hi,

     Shani Davis: Your Career Doesn’t Have to Be Conventional!!


                 A gold medalist in both the Torino and Vancouver Olympics, Shani Davis made history in Italy when he became the first African-American to win an individual gold medal in the Winter Games.

                A speed skater from Chicago, Davis’ unlikely journey started out as a toddler gliding along on roller skates. He skated so fast and so well that he replaced his wheels with blades at just six years old. By 16, Davis decided that he wanted to make the Olympic team. Ten years later, his lifetime of dedication has paid off enormously.

                Your career, doesn’t have to be traditional. Davis’ story reminds us that by tenaciously staying on track, our goals are realizable over the long-term. Davis is a trailblazer; he didn’t wait for others to go before him. Had he followed convention, he may never have tried out for the Olympics, let alone win multiple medals.

                  Remember: it’s your dream.

        Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t achieve something just because nobody else has.

 Hi friends,

 
              I have an informative story for you. Read this and you will find the excellent moral behind this story..


       One old man was sitting with his 25 years old son in the train.

        Train is about to leave the station.

        All passengers are settling down their seat.

      As train started young man was filled with lot of joy and curiosity.

       He was sitting on the window side.

       He went out one hand and feeling the passing air. He shouted, "Papa see all trees are going behind".

       Old man smile and admired son feelings.

      Beside the young man one couple was sitting and listing all the conversion between father and son.

    They were little awkward with the attitude of 25 years old man behaving like a small child.


    Suddenly young man again shouted, "Papa see the pond and animals. Clouds are moving with train".

     Couple was watching the young man in embarrassingly.

     Now its start raining and some of water drops touches the young man's hand.

      "Why don't you visit the Doctor and get treatment for your son."

       Old man said,

     Moral:
 
  "Never draw conclusions until you analyse all the facts and then re-check with experts before making a comment".

GEOGRAPHY FACTS!!!

Hi,


        Here are some interesting "GEOGRAPHY FACTS".. We should learn something new every day. Unfortunately, many of us are at that age where what we learn today, we forget tomorrow.

       Give it a shot anyway.
 

1. Amazon:

         The Amazon rainforest produces more than 20% the world's oxygen supply.The Amazon River pushes so much water into the Atlantic Ocean that, more than one hundred miles at sea off the mouth of the river, one can dip fresh water out of the ocean.  The volume of water in the Amazon river is greater than the next eight largest rivers in the world combined and three times the flow of all rivers in the United States ...


2. Canada:


         Canada has more lakes than the rest of the world combined. Canada is an Indian word meaning ' Big Village ...'



3. New York City:

        The term 'The Big Apple' was coined by touring jazz musicians of the 1930's who used the slang expression 'apple' for any town or city. Therefore, to play New York City is to play the big time - The Big Apple.


        There are more Irish in New York City than in Dublin , Ireland ; more Italians in New York City than in Rome, Italy ; and more Jews in New York City than in Tel Aviv, Israel .

4. Sahara Desert:


       In the Sahara Desert , there is a town named Tidikelt , Algeria , which did not receive a drop of rain for ten years.

       Technically though, the driest place on Earth is in the valleys of the Antarctic near Ross Island .. There has been no rainfall there for two million years.
 

5. Russia:

        The deepest hole ever drilled by man is the Kola Superdeep Borehole, in Russia . It reached a depth of 12,261 meters (about 40,226 feet or 7.62 miles). It was drilled for scientific research and gave up some unexpected discoveries, one of which was a huge deposit of hydrogen - so massive that the mud coming from the hole was "boiling", with it.

Never Be Late!!!

Hi,

          Lets see a short story which even happens in our life when we are late in a main conference and we might be in a situation where we have to face certain consequences. 

           Read this sample story and you will come to know the Consequences..

         A Priest was being honoured at his retirement dinner after 25 years in the parish. A leading local politician and member of the congregation was chosen to make the presentation and to give a little speech at the dinner.

         However, he was delayed, so the Priest was asked to say a few words in the meanwhile. Not being prepared to speak then, he wondered for a minute and then decided to share his experience on the first day in the parish to highlight how one should not rush to conclusions.

        'I got my first impression of the parish from the first confession I heard here. I thought I had been assigned to a terrible place. The very first person who entered my confessional told me :
    
   1. He had stolen a television set and, when questioned by the police, was able to lie his way out of it.
   2. He had stolen money from his parents,
   3. Embezzled from his employer
   4. Had an affair with his boss's wife,
   5. Taken illegal drugs, and gave VD to his neighbour.
    
     I was appalled said the Priest.

    But as the days went on, I learned that my people were not all like that and I had, indeed, come to a fine Parish full of good and loving people.'....

    Just as the Priest finished his talk, the Politician arrived full of apologies at being late.
    
    He immediately began to make the presentation and gave his talk: 'I'll never forget the first day our parish Priest arrived,' said the politician.
    
    'In fact, I had the honour of being the first person to go to him for confession.'

Honorable MEN!!!

Hi,

    Here is an short story to know about man..


            "One day, while a woodcutter was cutting a branch of a tree above a river, his axe fell into the river. When he cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, "Why are you crying?"

            The woodcutter replied that his axe has fallen into water, and he needed the axe to make his living.The Lord went down into the water and reappeared with a golden axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.

          The woodcutter replied, "No."

         The Lord again went down and came up with a silver Axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.

        Again, the woodcutter replied, "No."

       The Lord went down again and came up with an iron Axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.

         The woodcutter replied, "Yes."


         The Lord was pleased with the man's honesty and gave him all three axes to keep, and the woodcutter went home happy.

        Some time later the woodcutter was walking with his wife along the riverbank, and his wife fell into the river. When he cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked him, "Why are you crying?"

        "Oh Lord, my wife has fallen into the water!"

      The Lord went down into the water and came up with ANGELINA JOLIE ."Is this your wife?" the Lord asked..

       "Yes," cried the woodcutter.

       The Lord was furious. "You lied! That is an untruth!"

         The woodcutter replied, "Oh, forgive me, my Lord. It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I had said 'no' to ANGELINA JOLIE , You would have come up with CAMERON DIAZ . Then if I said 'no' to her, you would have come up with my wife . Had I then said 'yes,' you would have given me all three. Lord, I am a poor man, and am not able to take care
of all three wives, so THAT'S why I said yes to ANGELINA JOLIE ."

        The moral of this story is: Whenever a man lies, it is for a good and honorable reason, and for the benefit of others.

       That's our story, and we're sticking to it! - " HONORABLE MEN!!!!!!"

'3rd degree'

Hi,

How to Answer 5 Common Teacher Interview Questions!!

Hello friends,


                  When you get a call from a school administrator inviting you to interview for a teaching job, how do you feel? 
                  Happy? Elated? Excited? Nervous? Scared stiff?
 
               Preparing for a teaching interview is a lot like studying for a test. You can review commonly asked questions, think about what you’ll say beforehand, and go in to do your best. If you prepare beforehand, the interview questions will seem routine and familiar. You’ll have answers on the tip of your tongue, ready-to-go.

1. Tell us about yourself.

         This will be the first question at almost every interview. Just give a brief background in about three sentences. Tell them what colleges you graduated from, what you’re certified to teach, what your teaching & working experiences are, and why you’d love the job.

2. How do you teach to the state standards?

          School administrators love to talk about state, local, or national standards! Reassure your interviewer that everything you do ties into standards. Be sure the lesson plans in your portfolio have the state standards typed right on them. When they ask about them, pull out your lesson and show them the close ties between your teaching and the standards.

3. How will you prepare students for standardized assessments?

        There are standardized assessments at almost every grade level. Be sure you know the names of the tests. Talk about your experiences preparing students. You’ll get bonus points if you know and describe the format of the test because that will prove your familiarity.

4. Describe your discipline philosophy.

           You use lots of positive reinforcement. You are firm, but you don’t yell. You have appropriate consequences for inappropriate behavior. You have your classroom rules posted clearly on the walls. You set common routines that students follow. 
           You adhere to the school’s discipline guidelines. Also, emphasize that you suspect discipline problems will be minimal because your lessons are very interesting and engaging to students. Don’t tell the interviewer that you “send kids to the principal’s office” whenever there is a problem. You should be able to handle most discipline problems on your own. Only students who have committed very serious behavior problems should be sent to the office.

5. How do you communicate with parents?

         This question will come up at almost every elementary school interview. It’s fairly common in the middle school and high school as well. You might have a weekly parent newsletter that you send home each week. For grades 3 and up, you may require students to have an assignment book that has to be signed each night. This way, parents know what assignments are given and when projects are due. When there are discipline problems you call home and talk to parents. It’s important to have an open-door policy and invite parents to share their concerns at any time.

Windows 8 As "Windows.Next" !!!

Hi,

          With Windows 7, Microsoft appears to finally have hit the sweet spot in terms of public reception. Now that it has put the painful Vista years behind it and found a formula that works, you would think it would stick to the newly proven formula that’s earning it boatloads of cash. And yet Microsoft is hungry for more and willing to take more risks.

         Lets see how revolutionary Windows 8 will be. It is very simple – Windows.next. This is definitely not the official version.The themes that have been floated truly reflect what people have been looking for years and it will change the way people think about PCs and the way they use them. It is the future of PCs…”

        Doing something “completely different” with the next version of Windows would be a bold move for the world’s largest software firm. Set to air in 2012, according to recently leaked roadmaps, Microsoft may be planning a whopper of a surprise for the public. Microsoft has previously stated that in July it will be turning its focus onwards from Windows 7 on to designing and refining the next version of Windows.

    However and whenever Windows 8 approaches the market, we certainly hope that Microsoft continues with one of the key programs that made Windows 7 such a huge success .

Women love mobiles more than men!!!

Hi,


   Now let me discuss with you an interesting topic.. 

                           "Why Women love mobiles more than men"?

               Many girls are more interested in their mobile phones than their men as a survey revealed. In a survey of 4,000 women, four in every 10 women said they would be lost without their mobiles, but would happily go without a man in their life.


             The study claims that besides mother and mobile, women treasured their friends more than their men. Majority of the women surveyed consider their mothers to be their most prized possession followed closely by their photographs and then their mobile phone.


               Other items which made it to the list of most treasured items in a woman's life were diamond rings, pets, laptops and hair straighteners. As part of the survey, when the women were asked whether they would dump their boyfriends for money, a large chunk said they would consider doing so if offered more than $1 million in cash.

Coworker Wants Me to Keep a Secret!!


Hi friends,

             My friend was working at a company for 1 year. It’s a small company with a very emotional owner. She was hired to replace a sales representative who had worked with her for 10 years. They had become close friends, but the manager fired her unexpectedly at the end of 2008 and never talked to her again.

              The ex-employee is now working for another company. The owner of my company used to be good friends with the owners of the company she works for. For some reason, he no longer talks to these people either.

             One of my friend's coworkers and the ex-employee are very good friends. The ex-employee has been invited to attend a trade show where we will be staffing our company’s booth. However, her new employers cannot pay for her hotel costs. My friend's coworker offered to let her stay at our hotel, sharing her room. They have asked me to keep it a secret from my employer.

            They made it clear that my friend can say no to this if she is uncomfortable, but she do feel pressure to say that she will not tell her employer.

          She know that she do not want to stay at this company for long, but it still seems wrong to do this. Unfortunately, it’s a small company and she travel with this one coworker 5 times a year. She do feel disappointed if she don’t go along.

           In general, there’s nothing inherently wrong with offering to let someone stay in your company-paid hotel room.

          There appears to be bad blood between your boss and the former employee, and between your boss and the employee’s new company. Offering your boss’s enemies a resource that your boss paid for to assist them isn’t the smartest move, nor is it ethical. (Enemy may be too strong a word, but the concept stands.) It’s true that allowing her to share the room won’t cost your boss additional money, but it comes across as disloyal — and when you throw secrecy in on top of that, it forms a pretty toxic combination.

You’d be better off doing one of two things:

1. Remove the secrecy and say it’s fine with you as long as the boss knows. If the boss hasn’t shown open hostility to this ex-employee, why not just say, “Hey, she asked if she can room with us at the trade show. Any reason we should say no?”

or

2. Just tell your coworker you’re not comfortable with it. Explain that you wouldn’t feel right keeping a secret from your boss, that you can’t be in that position, and that you hope she understands.

CEO's Speech-VERY SHORT, MOST EFFECTIVE AND TRUE!!

Hi friends,

        Here is a  30 second Speech by Bryan Dyson (CEO of Coca Cola)

              "Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them - Work, Family, Health, Friends and Spirit and you're keeping all of these in the Air.


         You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.

              But the other four Balls - Family, Health, Friends and Spirit - are made of glass. If you drop one of these; they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it."

          WORK thoughtfully DURING OFFICE HOURS. Always LEAVE ON TIME(Also come on Time).

         Spend Quality Fun TIME with FAMILY & FRIENDS.

         HAVE Proper REST, Eat Healthy Food and always Eat Wisely and on time.

                   There is nothing more important than Great health.


                               Live Wisely. Live Thoughtfully.
