ONE PARAGRAPH THAT EXPLAINS LIFE!

This is something good for all of us......

Why me?

Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983. From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed: "Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"? To this Arthur Ashe replied: "The world over - 50 million children start playing tennis, 5 million learn to play tennis, 500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam, 50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals... When I was holding a cup I never asked GOD 'Why me?'. And today in pain I should not be asking GOD 'Why me?' " Happiness keeps you Sweet, Trials keep you Strong, Sorrow keeps you Human, Failure keeps you humble and Success keeps you glowing, But only Faith & Attitude Keeps you going...

Induruwa Beach....

I got a chance to be at Induruwa Beach Hotel recently for a wedding. Here are some snap shots I have taken at that time......

Identifying the Real Enemy

Modern Version of woodcutter (the axe story)

I thought this is good thing to share with you all......

Modern Version of woodcutter (the axe story)

Once upon a time, there was a software engineer who used to develop programs
on his Pentium machine, sitting under a tree on the banks of a river. He
used to earn his bread by selling those programs in the Sunday market.

One day, while he was working, his machine tumbled off the table and fell in
the river. Encouraged by the Panchatantra story of his childhood (the
woodcutter and the axe), he started praying to the River Goddess.

The River Goddess wanted to test him and so appeared only after one month of
rigorous prayers. The engineer told her that he had lost his computer in the
river.

As usual, the Goddess wanted to test his honesty. She showed him a match box
and asked, "Is this your computer ?" Disappointed by the Goddess' lack of
computer awareness, the engineer replied, "No."

She next showed him a pocket-sized calculator and asked if that was his.
Annoyed, the engineer said "No, not at all!!"

Finally, she came up with his own Pentium machine and asked if it was his.
The engineer, left with no option, sighed and said "Yes."

The River Goddess was happy with his honesty. She was about to give him all
three items, but before she could make the offer, the engineer asked her,
"Don't you know that you're supposed to show me some better computers before
bringing up my own ?"

The River Goddess, angered at this, replied, "I know that, you stupid
donkey! The first two things I showed you were the Trillennium and the
Billennium, the latest computers from IBM!". So saying, she disappeared with
the Pentium!!

Moral: If you're not up-to-date with technology trends, it's better keep
your mouth shut and let people think you're a fool than to open your mouth
and remove all doubt . . .

Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay

Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay

This is a nice film I have seen recently. Normally English films don't try to make USA down, but this does that.

This describes how best friends (originally from India and Korea but live in US) get in to trouble and named as 2 terrorists by US officers. Then it shows how the Guantanamo Bay prison and how they escape from that place. Fianally they came to know that President Bush also aware of the things happening on Guantanamo Bay.

This is a Comady, but some bad wordings and nude sceens are there. So be cairfull. :)



I came to know today that there is a previous film too named Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle and hope to see that soon. ALso they are planning to release the 3rd movie this year.

A Woman's Poem ...........

This is a nice one I found one of the chain mails I received.

A Woman's Poem ...........

He didn't like the curry
And he didn't like my cake.
He said my biscuits were too hard...
Not like his mother used to make.


I didn't prepare the coffee right
He didn't like the stew,
I didn't mend his socks
The way his mother used to do.


I pondered for an answer
I was looking for a clue.
Isn't there anything I could do
To match his mothers shoe


Then I smiled as I saw light
One thing I could definitely do
I turned around and slapped him tight...
Like his mother used to do!!!!!
