"The effort,force,energy,velocity involved in gaining certain things in the universe is not proportionate to the same involved in losing them " . Example #1: Gaining and burning Calories depends on whether you are at your dinner table or in the Gym.When you can very happily gain loads of calories with small effort on your dinner table , it is very time consuming,rigorous task to burn even one-tenth of the calories gained when you are working out in a Gym" Example #2: It takes a month of pain,pressure from boss,subordinates,paper works,sleepless nights to see a decent bank balance at the end of the month and the same balance gives back an empty smile within 10 days when all your payment bills sweep the money from the account or when you enter a shopping mall. The velocity at which the bank balance becomes empty is higher if your spouse is accompanying you to the shopping mall. If Albert Einstein is alive, he will surely agree this and propose my name for a Nobel prize...

"With all aspects maintained constant,In an organisation, the volume of Criticism of your performance by your successor with your ex-colleagues will be directly proportionate to the volume of Criticism you did on your predecessor with your ex- colleagues who were your colleagues then" An Axiom to this theory to reduce the volume of criticism by your successor is to find your best pal to replace you!!!

Tunis-Algiers-Cairo-Benghazi-Sana'a-Manama . This looks like an itinerary for some of the beautiful locations on the Arab world. But in reality, is the route by which the revolution is travelling in that region and has created speculations all around the world for which is going to be the next destination. Despite the differences created by the political borders, the emotions of the people involved in the revolution( as what it is known)/riots ( as how it is being stated by the government) has one common underlying feel- CHANGE and ENOUGH IS ENOUGH .It is a surprising fact that all these leaders against whom people are marching today were once been highly regarded by the same people and is proving " Too much of anything is good for nothing" .It is painful to see people fleeing their own land being chased and bombarded by their own government and by their own army meant to protect them. Surely this must be a nightmare for all those rulers/ heads of state occupying the...

My post below is showing as if I have posted about 1-1-11 on 31-12-10 itself-its again a confusion depending on which side of date line we live.

A new day has come which we will write as 1-1-11 no matter you are a DD/MM/YY or MM/DD/YY follower.Living in the South pacific,closer to the international date line has an advantage of being one among few million people on earth to welcome the new year before the rest of the world. Except for the fact that we follow a calendar which has only 12 months and all the 12 months of this cycle are over and we are restarting the cycle, I hardly see any specialty about Jan 1st ( midnight of Dec31 st).May be because I am one among those few billion people who have seen transition of a Millennium in my life time, this change of year is sometime I am feeling as a common thing happening every 365 days. I am seeing in TV today about hundreds of thousands of tourists flocking and trying to get a prime spot to get the spectacular view of the firework show at the Harbour Bridge , Thousands of people gathered at Time Square in the west and Dataran Merdeka in the east and any other important spots of ...

How gifted we are for living in our own land or on a land we preferred to live for seeking employment,for having better living standards,for studies and for doing business. It is painful to be forcibly migrated to another land as a result of wars,natural calamities and living there as a refugee and to seek asylum as the living conditions in one's own land is not congenial. Visit this official website of United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees http://www.unhcr.org to know how painful it is.... and help them in some way or the other.

I was thinking this phrase " what really real is not real" which my school teacher says too often.The following are some words which I come across every now and then but every time in a different context without implying the really real meaning.... PERSONALITY The word personality means an individual's set of behaviours , traits and attitudes which are situational in nature and which makes a person distinct from other. This word is derived from a latin word " Persona" meaning mask which is not a physical one but a social mask which defines our behaviour , ways of thinking, reacting, socializing .Unfortunately I found this word being used very commonly in a wrong context referring to an individual's 'outer,tangible, visible' thing than the' inner,invisible,intangible' thing.Many a time I have seen well educated people saying things like "his personality does not suit the position" what they actually mean is his "appearan...
