Do you really love him? Really? How do you know? And how many loves are we capable of even as we seek that one true love which spans a lifetime?
DO you really love him? Faced with this question, anybody is bound to dither. What is “love”? And, what is “really love?” How do you know whether you really love someone as opposed to just being fond of him or her? And, can you possibly really love more than one person at a time in a romantic and sexual manner?
Try it. Ask yourself if you really love your husband, wife or lover. If you are a mature, reasonably intelligent and honest person, you are sure to start worrying about the true definition of love. Unending discussions about the pros and cons apart, what Reality TV has managed to do is successfully stir up the cauldron of human emotions, helping us question rather than just accept or hide them; shown us that our trespasses don’t make us freaks; there are many more like us, and last but not least, revealed to us the multiple dimensions of the human personality.
When TV actor Rupa Ganguly was asked on the last episode of Sach Ka Saamna if she really loved her younger boyfriend, she replied in the affirmative. The polygraph test however caught her out, successfully preventing her from carrying the 25-lakh booty home. A visibly disappointed Rupa said, “At 42 you are not as sure of the definition of love as you are at say 25. How do you define love? I would say I love Dibyendu, but the polygraph test obviously thinks otherwise!”
And Rupa very rightly raised the question, what then is love? According to her definition of it, she loves Dibyendu, but is there another more valid definition that is followed by the polygraph machine? Does her definition differ from that of her mother’s, her sister’s, her friend’s or the rest of the world’s? And, if that is so, is that relevant? Isn’t it enough that she knows she loves her boyfriend?
And, what happens if a man and a woman who fancy themselves in love with each other, realise that they are unable to relate to each other’s definition of love? When Cordelia’s professed love for her father, King Lear, falls short of his expectations, she loses her share of the kingdom, yet that doesn’t mean she loves him any less than her silvertongued sisters, Regan and Goneril! In romantic love too, no two individuals can profess to love each other in exactly the same manner and to the same depth. Whose definition must then be followed?
The safest bet of course would be to follow your own criteria, your own definition of what love means to you. It’s how you connect to your loved one that matters more than any definitions of how you should connect! As for how do you know if you are really in love, there are as many suggestions as there are people in love. You are in love when you would rather not live life without the other person; when he or she is the first that springs to mind in happiness or grief; when the other person is a constant companion even in absentia, and when sometimes your loved one’s happiness takes precedence over yours…
Such a loving may or may not last a lifetime, but whatever the span, it soaks up your entire being. Which is why it is difficult to understand when people say they can be in love with more than one person at a time! Going back to the show, Rupa admitted in an answer to a previous question that she still loved her exhusband. The polygraph test gave its blessing for that admission. Let’s forget the debate on whether the polygraph test is the biggest liar around and focus on Rupa, who actually admitted to loving two men at the same time — her ex and her present lover.
This polyamorous (having more than one romantic or sexual relationship) admission gives rise to the debate on whether we can love two or more people at the same time? The situation called for a quick dipstick test and I asked around. Yes, came the response. Some men and women said it is possible to love more than one person at a time. Said Rema, 34, “You can love different people for different qualities and in different ways.” Kartik, 43, added, “There are different phases to loving. At one stage you may love one kind of a person, while at another stage you may be attracted to a different person. That doesn’t mean you have to necessarily stop loving the earlier person. You could be loving both of them at the same time though maybe with different intensity and in different ways.”
Dr Helen Fisher in Why We Love talks about our three mating drives — romantic love, lust and attachment. The brain circuits behind these, she says, do not always work in tandem and each of these could be focused on different people at the same time. And so, Dr Fisher concludes that human beings are “neurologically able to love more than one person at a time.”
If we believe that there is no one kind of loving, but different kinds, we have to accept that we may fall for different kinds of people simultaneously. But I would say that those who do, couldn’t be really intense lovers. For the most intense ones, the world begins and ends with the object of their affection. The extremely focused attention, obsession and goal directed behaviour is exactly what romantic love is all about. For as long as it lasts of course…

DO FUNNY GUYS ATTRACT
Do the funny guys attract the women?
It’s self-deprecating humour in men, says a study
When it comes to seducing a woman, nothing, as it turns out, works better than a man with a self-deprecating sense of humour. What’s more is that this finding is based on a two-year scientific research which found that men who can poke fun at themselves are mostly the ones that are sexual magnets for women.
As a part of the study, lead author Gil Greengross, of the University of New Mexico in the US and her colleagues asked female students to listen to tape recordings of men talking about themselves.
The women were then asked to score the men on sexual attractiveness. Greengross revealed that when it comes to the type of humour that works best at getting a woman into bed, the self-deprecating kind comes in at the top of the pack. “Many studies show that a sense of humour is sexually attractive to women but we’ve found that self-deprecating humour is the most attractive of all,” a newspaper quoted Greengross, as saying. “People who used this humour were considered to be far more desirable as mates.”
He added a note of caution however, saying that it can also draw attention to a man’s real faults, thus turning women off. “It is a risky form of humour because it can draw attention to one’s real faults, thereby diminishing the self-deprecator’s status in the eyes of others,” he said.
“Think about the secondary school child whom nobody liked, who makes fun of his shortcomings. His peers mocked him and he was considered more pathetic than he was previously. This is high-risk seduction. It is not for everyone,” he added. ANI

BOYS DON'T CRY
It's not just the women who moan, groan and whine. Men do it too. Here is the other side of being with over-expressive men!
YOU ARE dressed to kill but your man
doesn’t shower you with compliments. Instead he just says, “Nice dress.” You are feeling all under weather and all he says, “don’t behave like a cry baby.” Yet, there are times, when men are over-emotional, over-expressive. But are women ready to deal with expressive men? Till now, they moaned how men can’t express their need to be pamp e re d . V J Anusha Dandekar says, “I can never be with guys who are over-sensitive. Instead, they should be head strong. Such men are so desirable. After all, it’s women who tend to express themselves with tears.”
Meet Charu Kalra, HR consultant who says, “On regular intervals my boyfriend would give me letters describing about our best times together. It was quite sweet but then everytime I was with my friends; he would come up with cards and letters. Eventually all this started embarassing me. Why couldn’t he keep it subtle? Now that we’re no longer together is proof enough how much it irritated me.”
There are some women, who want to be with expressive men. Mansi Sharma, PR executive says, “It’s not that I like all that emotional stuff but I am happy that he pours his heart out to me.” Televison’s love guru and actor Pooja Mishra explains, “Men should never resort to over-expression. Women appreciate emotions but what
guys need to understand
is that there is a very thin line between being mushy and being pushy. If a man expresses his sensitivity with élan and panache, a woman can take it but if he over does, it’s an overkill.” Psychiatrist Sandeep Vohra agrees, “Over expression in any form is not healthy. So guys, don’t put your emotions on display.”

INCREASE ENERGY
How to Increase Your Energy Levels Naturally
Essential Water – Keep your body hydrated throughout the day. The first sign of dehydration is fatigue. Your body can’t function at capacity without that good old H2O. A steady supply of water will naturally keep things flowing–including your energy.
Improve Sleeping Habits – Often a small adjustment of your sleeping habits can already do wonders for your energy levels.
Lying in bed is not sleeping: Don’t go to bed if your not sleepy and end up lying in bed pondering and stressing. If you are drifting off at the computer, while reading, or watching TV, it’s time to get to bed. Your bedtime should and will vary from night to night. Let your body tell you when to sleep as opposed to the following the 8-hour rule.
Rise and Shine: Put an alarm and get up at the same time everyday.
Sleepy at Noon?: Try a powernap of 20 minutes in a quiet place.
Experiment and find out what your optimal sleep levels are.
Yoga, Exercising & Stretching – It sounds counter-intuitive, perhaps, but by expending energy on a regular basis, you will actually give yourself more of it in the end. The key is to set up a fairly regular schedule–about three times a week–and push to the point that you feel refreshed, not exhausted. Don’t overdo it. It may take a couple of weeks to get into the natural rhythm, so have patience and higher energy levels will follow.
Deep breathing exercise – Another great way to re-energize your body is with a quick deep breathing exercise. Sit on a chair with a straight back and breathe deeply while you focus on your breath going in – going out. At the same time use a powerful affirmation to invigorate your mind and body.
Eliminate Energy-Sappers From Your Diet – Have more alkaline-forming foods like fruits and vegetables. Avoid excess sugar and coffee as they lead to lower blood sugar levels–and less energy–after they give you an initial kick. Also one could pack some almonds and nuts for a quick and convenient protein snack.

FIND TIME
20 Great Ways to Find More Free Time
“The real problem of leisure time is how to keep others from using yours.” - Arthur Lacey
Are there a hundred different things you wish you could do with your life someday — anything from exercising to meditation or yoga to writing that novel you always wished you could write to reading more to relaxing and watching the sunrise? But perhaps you never have the time, like most people.
The truth is, we all have the same amount of time, and it’s finite and in great demand. But some of us have made the time for doing the things we love doing, and others have allowed the constant demands and pressures and responsibilities of life to dictate their days.
It’s time to move from the second group back into the first. Reclaim your time. Create the life you want and make the most of the free time you lay claim to. It’s not hard, though it does take a little bit of effort and diligence.
Not all of these will be applicable to your life — choose the ones you can apply and give them a try:
Take a time out. Freeing up your time starts with taking a step back to take a good look at your life. You need to block off at least an hour. Several hours or half a day is better. A whole day would be awesome. A weekend would be even more ideal, though not necessary practical for many folks. With this block of time, take a look at your life with some perspective. Is it what you’ve always wanted? How would you get to where you’ve always wanted to be? What do you enjoy doing, but don’t have enough time to do? What things actually fill up your day? Are there things you could drop or minimize to make more time? We’ll look at some of these things in the following items, but it starts with taking a time out to think and plan.
Find your essentials. What is it that you love to do? Make a short list of 4-5 things. These are the things you want to make room for.
Find your time-wasters. What do you spend a lot of your time on that isn’t on your essential list? Take a close look at these things and really think about whether they’re necessary, or if there are ways to reduce, minimize or eliminate these things. Sometimes you do things because you assume they’re necessary, but if you give it some thought you can find ways to drop them from your life. Figure out what you do simply to waste time — maybe surfing certain sites, watching TV, talking a lot at the water cooler, etc. You’re going to want to minimize these time-wasters to make room for the more important stuff, the stuff that makes you happy and that you love to do.
Schedule the time. As you sit down and think about your life and what you want to do, versus what you actually do, you will be looking at ways to free up time. It’s crucial that you take a blank weekly schedule (you can just write it out on a piece of paper, or use your calendar) and assign blocks for the things you love — the stuff on your essentials list. If you want to exercise, for example, when will you do it? Put the blocks of time on your schedule, and make these blocks the most important appointments of your week. Schedule the rest of your life around these blocks.
Consolidate. There are many things you do, scattered throughout your day or your week, that you might be able to consolidate in order to save time. A good example is errands — instead of running one or two a day, do them all in one day to save time and gas. Another example is email, or any kind of communication — batch process your email instead of checking and reading and responding throughout the day. Same thing with meetings, paperwork, anything that you do regularly.
Cut out meetings. This isn’t possible for everyone, but in my experience meetings take up a lot of time to get across a little information, or to make easy decisions that could be made via email or phone. As much as you can, minimize the number of meetings you hold and attend. In some cases this might mean talking to your boss and telling her that you have other priorities, and asking to be excused. In other cases this might mean asking the people holding the meeting if you can get the info in other ways. If so, you’ve saved yourself an hour or so per meeting (sometimes more).
De clutter your schedule. If you have a heavily packed schedule, full of meetings and errands and tasks and projects and appointments, you’re going to want to weed it out so that it’s not so jam-packed. Find the stuff that’s not so essential and cancel them. Postpone other stuff. Leave big blank spaces in your schedule.
Re-think your routine. Often we get stuck in a routine that’s anything but what we really want our days to be like. Is there a better way of doing things? You’re the creator of your life — make a new routine that’s more pleasant, more optimal, more filled with things you love.
Cut back on email. I mentioned email in an earlier point above, regarding consolidating, but it’s such a major part of most people’s lives that it deserves special attention. How often do you check email? How much time do you spend composing emails? If you spend a major part of your work day on email, as many people do (and as I once did), you can free up a lot of time by reducing the time you spend in email. Now, this won’t work for everyone, but it can work for many people: choose 2-3 key times during the day to process your inbox to empty, and keep your responses to 5 sentences.
Learn to say no. If you say “yes” to every request, you will never have any free time. Get super protective about your time, and say “no” to everything but the essential requests.
Keep your list to 3. When you make out your daily to-do list, just list the three Most Important Tasks you want to accomplish today. Don’t make a laundry list of tasks, or you’ll fill up all your free time. By keeping your task list small, but populated only by important tasks, you ensure that you are getting the important stuff done but not overloading yourself.
Do your Biggest Rock first. Of the three Most Important Tasks you choose for the day, pick the biggest one, or the one you’re dreading most, and do that first. Otherwise you’ll put that off as much as possible and fill your day with less important things. Don’t allow yourself to check email until that Big Rock is taken care of. It starts your day with a sense of major accomplishment, and leaves you with a lot of free time the rest of the day, because the most important thing is already done.
Delegate. If you have subordinates or coworkers who can do a task or project, try to delegate it. Don’t feel like you need to do everything yourself. If necessary, spend a little time training the person to whom you’re delegating the task, but that little time spent training will pay off in a lot of time saved later. Delegating allows you to focus on the core tasks and projects you should be focusing on.
Cut out distractions. What is there around your workspace that distracts you from the task at hand? Sometimes it’s visual clutter, or papers lying around that call for your attention and action, or email or IM notifiers on your computer that pop up at the wrong time, or the phone, or coworkers. See if you can eliminate as many of these as possible — the more you can focus, the more effective you’ll be and the less time you’ll waste. That equals time saved for the good stuff.
Disconnect. The biggest of distractions, for most people, is the Internet. My most productive times are when I’m disconnected from the grid. Now, I’m not saying you need to be disconnected all the time, but if you really want to be able to effectively complete tasks, disconnect your Internet so you can really focus. Set certain times of the day for connectivity, and only connect during those periods.
Outsource. If you can’t delegate, see if you can outsource. With the Internet, we can connect with people from all over the world. I’ve outsourced many things, from small tasks to checking email to legal work to design and editing work and more. That allows me to focus on the things I’m best at, the things I love doing, and saves me a lot of time.
Make use of your mornings. I find that mornings are the absolute best times to schedule the things I really want to do. I run, read and write in the mornings — three of the four things on my Essentials List (spending time with family is the other thing on the list). Mornings are great because your day hasn’t been filled with a bunch of unscheduled, demanding, last-minute tasks that will push back those Essentials. For example, if you schedule something for late afternoon, by the time late afternoon rolls around, you might have a dozen other things newly added to your to-do list, and you’ll put off that late-afternoon Essential. Instead, schedule it for the morning, and it’ll rarely (if ever) get pushed back.
The Golden Right-after-work Time. Other than mornings, I find the time just after work to be an incredible time for doing Essential things. Exercise, for example, is great in the 5-o’clock hour, as is spending time with family, or doing anything else relaxing.
Your evenings. The time before you go to bed is also golden, as it exists every single day, and it’s usually completely yours to schedule. What do you want to do with this time? Read? Spend time with your kids? Work on a hobby you’re passionate about? Take advantage of this time.
Lunch breaks. If the three golden times mentioned above don’t work for you, lunch breaks are another good opportunity to schedule things. Some people like to exercise, or to take quiet times, during their lunch breaks. Others use this time to work on an important personal goal or project.

For example, if you schedule something for late afternoon, by the time late afternoon rolls around, you might have a dozen other things newly added to your to-do list, and you’ll put off that late-afternoon Essential. Instead, schedule it for the morning, and it’ll rarely (if ever) get pushed back.
The Golden Right-after-work Time. Other than mornings, I find the time just after work to be an incredible time for doing Essential things. Exercise, for example, is great in the 5-o’clock hour, as is spending time with family, or doing anything else relaxing.
Your evenings. The time before you go to bed is also golden, as it exists every single day, and it’s usually completely yours to schedule. What do you want to do with this time? Read? Spend time with your kids? Work on a hobby you’re passionate about? Take advantage of this time.
Lunch breaks. If the three golden times mentioned above don’t work for you, lunch breaks are another good opportunity to schedule things. Some people like to exercise, or to take quiet times, during their lunch breaks. Others use this time to work on an important personal goal or project.
WOMEN HATE
10 THINGS WOMEN HATE ABOUT MEN
Men and women are as different as chalk and cheese. We may read tomes about men & even listen in on locker room conversations, but we’ll never quite get them! A bunch of women spell out what makes them mad at men
1 TV host Mini Mathur
Stuck to a chore Ask a man to do more than one thing at a time, and he’s likely to get cold feet. And even if he tries, he’s sure to mess up things. So, obviously women take it upon themselves to do more than their fair share. TV host Mini Mathur says, “I hate their inability to multitask. They simply are incapable of doing more than one thing, the way we women can.”
2 Actress Suchitra Pillai
Love to scoot When it comes to facing reality, men love to run away. This just makes us want to pull our hair out. But that doesn’t stop them from their propensity for escapist escapades. Actress Suchitra Pillai agrees, “A lot of men run away from confrontation. They just can’t stay and deal with things when they need to.”
3 Television actress Sangeeta Ghosh
Taking us for granted Get close to a man, and you wouldn’t be surprised that he starts taking you for granted. Men seem to have this tendency to feel so comfy that they have to be jolted a bit. So the trick is never to let them feel so secure that they start treating you like a Betty. Television actress Sangeeta Ghosh says, “I detest the way men always take things for granted and how they are so unorganised.”
4 Actress Tisca Chopra
The big male ego Why can’t men chuck their ego sometimes? And why should we take a leaf out of their book? Actress Tisca Chopra says, “People say, ‘why can’t women be more like men?’ But I want to know why can’t men be more like women! And why can’t they understand that women need 20 handbags?”
5 Miss India World Parvathi Omanakuttan
‘Fair’ game We hate it when they narrow our worth down to – “what’s she like in bed?” Says Miss India World Parvathi Omanakuttan, “I hate it when men consider women to be inferior — just objects of sexual gratification. Our religion talks about respect towards women, but women continue to be ill-treated.”
6 The stare at breasts
It’s very discomfiting when men stare at our breasts. They see women everyday, but we suppose they just can’t get used to the idea that b**bs do exist! Simran Kant, a law student says, “I hate the way they stare at my b**bs. I mean get a life guys, do we women always stare at your… you know what!”
7 Those long tresses
It just doesn’t suit some men. It gets worse when long-haired men use colourful hair bands, hair gel and even streak their hair blonde! Fashion journalist Sneha Vora admits, “I dislike guys with long hair who use loads of gel. It looks pretty disgusting. Even worse is when they wear those zig-zag hair bands!”
8 All muddled Men keep complaining when we take
long to decide between a lavender or mauve top, but honestly, they are equally indecisive about what they want emotionally. Diya Rai, a film student, while venting her ire says, “Men! Why are they so confused all the time? And it’s worse when they lay the blame for their indecisiveness on us.”
9 Fixated on sex
They are so freakishly obsessed with it all the time. Don’t they get bored of being h***y? And why is everything related to sex?! Anjali Kapoor, an investment banker squirms, “Men only hear what they want to. Whenever I tell a guy, ‘I like you,’ he thinks I mean, ‘I wanna have sex with you right now’!”
10 Hairy ways
Hairy ways We wax, thread, get ‘lasered’
and basically go through a hell lot of pain to get hair-free. But men? Gosh, they protest even if you tell them to shave. Shruti Prasad, a consultant confesses, “Oh I know what’s absolutely disgusting - men with hairy backs.”

GUY CHASING MISS PERFECT
Men want a woman they can talk to and who they can share a laugh with, says
FROM simple to sexy, coy to bindaas, homely to professional — men have eternally been chasing the elusive Miss Perfect. Has the definition changed for the metrosexual man? Or do they still want their women to be a combination of intelligence, beauty and confidence? And, at the same time, someone they could take home to their family.
“On a brighter side, the avant-garde man is more practical and accommodating. But scratch the surface and you will find that the wish list remains the same. His head is full of the ‘perfect woman’ who massages his ego, looks good, is good to his family and tosses a salad for him when he’s back… someone who fits the tagline ‘neighbour’s envy, owner’s pride’!” says Tuhin A. Sinha, 31-year-old bachelor and author of 22 Yards.
But 22-year-old Bharat Kundra, winner of Mr Grasim 2007, a software engineer and theatre actor, wants his woman-to-be everything rolled into one, but on her own terms! “In today’s fast-paced world, relationships are instant, so are material and physical pleasures. What remains are values and a sense of spirituality. I’d definitely like my woman to be at par with me or maybe ahead, but she has to have a healthy mind, body and spirit,” says Kundra.
Bharat Kundra and Tusshar Kapoor
Is the alpha woman ready to take up the challenge? “I think it’s important in this time and age to move beyond genderspecific roles in par tner ships. There isn’t a problem per se with having high expectations of a partner, especially if it’s in the spirit of growth and evolvement. It’s like that movie with the line — ‘You make me want to be a better man/woman’. I think a positive relationship can do just that,” says Advaita Kala, author of Almost Single.
For television actor Aman Verma, his woman, even though it sounds clichéd, has to be one with a sense of humour. Wit is something that really turns him on. “She has to be able to laugh, with me, at herself, at me…”
Some like humour, while some a bold attitude. Polo champion Uday Kalaan is comfortable with his woman wearing the pants, both at home and outside. “It’s unfair to expect the world of her. She can’t be everything.” For actor Tusshar Kapoor “she has to have a personality — a mix of matured outlook and beauty.”
Tuhin A Sinha and Aman Verma
The evolution is obvious in both the male as well as the female characters. If the modern man is changing nappies, then the woman is donning pants as well. For each alpha male, there’s an alpha female. This is what Andrew Go, director of Mills & Boon India, has to say: “Besides his broad shoulders and tall frame, the Mills & Boon hero has a sensitive side. He has to prove constantly to his woman that he’s worthy of her! He realises that women are more independent and empowered, hence he has to evolve too.” In short, he knows she won’t take things lying down.
So, who is Miss Perfect? When we asked around, ‘connect’ is the word that was top on the list. Most men look for a mental as well as a spiritual connect, a way to communicate. None of the guys wanted a trophy wife whom they couldn’t talk to. Career and a certain amount of values featured high on the list. It’s okay if she guzzles an occasional beer with her buddies, but her conduct and body language shouldn’t embarrass him. It’s okay if she swears, but she should respect people who matter to him. Slight jealousy is ‘sweet’ until she goes psycho!
Roll over, believers of hackneyed phrases like: “a tigress in b e d … ” , “way to a man’s heart is through his stomach”, the metrosexual man is jittery about his performance score card and as for cooking, they believe in takeaways! Take a chill pill, girls!

Power-less fridge
SEE, NO ELECTRICITY: In 1930, Einstein had patented a fridge that had no moving parts and used only pressurised gases to keep things cold
London: An Oxford electrical engineer has come up with a refrigerator that runs without electricity. Not his own idea. He has based it on a model invented by Albert Einstein in 1930.
Einstein and his colleague, Hungarian physicist Leo Szilard, patented a fridge that had no moving parts and used only pressurised gases to keep things cold. The idea is to eventually stop using modern refrigerators, which use gas that harm the environment. They work by compressing and expanding greenhouse gases called freons — far more damaging that carbon dioxide.
Almost every household in the developed world owns a fridge and its sales are rising as demand increases in developing countries.
Malcolm McCulloch, an electrical engineer at Oxford who works on green technologies, is leading a threeyear project to develop fridges that can be used in places without electricity.
The Einstein-Szilard model design was partly used in the first domestic refrigerators but the technology was abandoned when more efficient compressors became popular in the 1950s.
Einstein and Szilard’s idea avoids the need for freons. It uses ammonia, butane and water and takes advantage of the fact that liquids boil at lower temperatures when the air pressure around them is lower.
“If you go to the top of Mount Everest, water boils at a much lower temperature than it does when you’re at sea level, and that’s because the pressure is much lower up there,” says McCulloch.
At one side is the evaporator, a flask that contains butane. “If you introduce a new vapour above the butane, the liquid boiling temperature decreases and, as it boils off, it takes energy from the surroundings to do so,” says Mc-Culloch. “That’s what makes it cold.”
He is not the only one interested in environmentfriendly fridges. Engineers working at a Cambridge-based start-up company, Camfridge, are currently using magnetic fields, instead of gas, to cool things.
Managing director Neil Wilson says: “When the magnetic field is next to the alloy, it’s like compressing the gas, and when the magnetic field leaves, it’s like expanding the gas. This effect can be seen in rubber bands — when you stretch the band it gets hot, and when you let the band contract it gets cold.” IANS

Amazing India
AMAZING INDIA.
India is a country with many facets, most of which we are familiar with.
From the snowcapped peaks in Kashmir to the sandy beaches of the
south, the vast deserts of the west to the hilly region of the east,
we have seen images of this beautiful country all around. But there is so much
about India that we don’t know.
Like the fact that it is the cradle of the world’s oldest,
largest and most continuous civilization.
Did you know that India is a country that has never invaded another country?
In a history spanning 100,000 years India has remained a uniquely
peaceful nation that has at different times been ruled by different invading conquerors.
Not surprisingly, today India is the world’s largest
democracy. But that’s not all. Varanasi, an ancient Indian city is the only
city in the world that has been continuously inhabited for the longest
duration in history.
A center of learning, the world’s first university was established in
Takshashila in India in 700 B.C. Sanskrit, an ancient Indian language is the
mother of all European languages. Algebra, geometry and calculus, all originated in India.
The decimal system, ayurveda (the oldest school of
medicine known to man) and surgery (pioneered by Sushruta) also came from India.
Not surprisingly, India is the only country in the world
besides Japan and U.S.A. which has indigenously built a super computer.
It is no wonder that Albert Einstein said, “We owe a lot to the Indians,
who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery
could have been made."
. The world’s highest cricket ground is in Chail, Himachal Pradesh.
Built in 1893 after leveling a hilltop, this cricket pitch is 2,444 meters above sea level.
. India has the largest number of post offices in the world.
. The largest employer in the world is the Indian Railways, employing over a million people.
. Until 1896, India was the only source of diamonds in the world.
. The Baily Bridge is the highest bridge in the world.
It is located in the Ladakh valley between the Dras and Suru rivers in the Himalayan
Mountains. It was built by the India Army in August 1982.

Today before you think of saying an unkind word Think of someone who
can't speak
Before you complain about the taste of your food Think of someone who
has nothing to eat
Before you complain about your husband or wife Think of someone who's
crying out to God for a companion
Today before you complain about life
Think of someone who went too early to heaven
Before you complain about your children Think of someone who desires
children but they're barren
Before you argue about your dirty house; someone didn't clean or sweep
Think of the people who are living in the streets
Before whining about the distance you drive Think of someone who walks
the same distance with their feet
And when you are tired and complain about your job Think of the
unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job
But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another
Remember that not one of us is without sin and we all answer to one
maker
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down Put a smile on your
face and thank God you're alive and still around
Life is a gift
Live it...

Top 5 Foods for Healthy Hair
While external care (shampoo, conditioner, keeping the scalp clean etc.) are a must for keeping the hair healthy, a balanced diet containing hair-friendly nutrients is also of paramount importance.
Minerals like iron, calcium, potassium, selenium, magnesium etc. play a vital role in keeping the hair and scalp healthy. Protein is also crucial for ensuring good healthy hair growth.Protein deficiencies or low-quality protein can produce weak and brittle hair, and can eventually result in loss of hair color.
Let�s take a look at five super foods for hair:
Top 5 Foods for Healthy Hair
�
Whole Grains
It is widely known that whole grains have more nutrients per unit than their refined counterparts. Add to this the large quantities of fibre they have which makes them really good for our digestive system. They can be easily digested, contain a lot of antioxidants and help keep chronic diseases like cancer, diabetes, obesity and constipation at bay. All these qualities also make them �super-foods� for healthy hair.
Top 5 Foods for Healthy Hair
�
Vitamin C Foods
Vitamin C is brimming with collagen, a protein which helps in maintaining hair follicles, blood vessels and scalp. Fruits like oranges, lemons, pineapple, strawberries, guava etc are great sources of vitamin C. Green leafy vegetables also contain vitamin C and iron which is another great nutrient for healthy hair.
Top 5 Foods for Healthy Hair
Brown Rice
It is a good source of protein and it gives your hair the shine you�ve always wanted. Apart from this, it makes you feel full for longer durations and helps suppress your hunger pangs. Brown rice is also rich in vitamins and fibre.
Top 5 Foods for Healthy Hair
Dal
Legumes are widely accepted as rich sources of protein. An � cup serving of dal can easily offer about 6 gm of protein. Besides, dals are rich in minerals like potassium and magnesium. However, you should not solely depend on dal for your daily protein intake.
Top 5 Foods for Healthy Hair
Calcium-rich Foods
Calcium is also a key nutrient for maintaining hair health. Now a lot of calcium is used up by daily wear and tear and one needs to consume adequate calcium-rich foods to replenish lost calcium. Dairy products are excellent sources of calcium. So are grains. Calcium also makes your hair shine and not to forget that it also gives you healthy, stronger bones
While external care (shampoo, conditioner, keeping the scalp clean etc.) are a must for keeping the hair healthy, a balanced diet containing hair-friendly nutrients is also of paramount importance.
Minerals like iron, calcium, potassium, selenium, magnesium etc. play a vital role in keeping the hair and scalp healthy. Protein is also crucial for ensuring good healthy hair growth.Protein deficiencies or low-quality protein can produce weak and brittle hair, and can eventually result in loss of hair color.
Let�s take a look at five super foods for hair:

as we have in our blood. It's the fluid of life, so to speak.'
During the Pacific War of 1941-45, both sides in the conflict regularly used
coconut water - siphoned directly from the nut - to give emergency plasma
transfusions to wounded soldiers..
Most coconut water is still consumed fresh in tropical coastal areas - once exposed to
air, the liquid rapidly loses most of its organoleptic and nutritional characteristics,
and begins to ferment.
Coconut Water is More Nutritious than whole milk - Less fat and NO cholesterol!
Coconut Water is More Healthy than Orange Juice - Much lower calories

Painful truth for women
PAINFUL TRUTH: Women are also less likely to get the right treatment as most drugs, trialled mainly on men, are often less effective on them
London: For centuries, it has been believed that women are the more sensitive gender. Now, a new study has revealed that when it comes to pain, the fair sex are the most sensitive.
An international team has carried out the study and found that women experience more pain throughout the course of their lifetime, more often, and actually for longer duration as compared to men.
What’s interesting is that the study found that women are also less likely to get the right treatment as most drugs, trialled mainly on men, are often less effective on them, the Independent reported.
According to researchers at International Association for the Study of Pain, it is due to different hormones, body composition and central nervous systems that make women more susceptible to a range of painful conditions than men. Dr Beverly Collett of Chronic Pain Policy Coalition in Britain said, “Most doctors and nurses are unaware of these differences that has life-threatening consequences for women.”
Even ten years back, brain imaging experts at Oxford University found that women with untreated painful periods are more likely to react to other painful stimuli because of changes in the brain.
These findings suggest that untreated persistent pain makes women more susceptible to painful conditions.
“Our preliminary data suggests there are long-term health consequences of not taking monthly period pain seriously. The images show increased activity in different brain regions which suggests untreated pain permanently changes the brain and central nervous system,” said Irene Tracey of Oxford Centre for Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Brain.

How to motivate employee
The ability to motivate employees is one of the greatest skills an entrepreneur can possess. Two years ago, I realized I didn’t have this skill. So I hired a CEO who did.
Josh had 12 years in the corporate world, which included running a major department at Comcast. I knew he was seasoned, but I was still skeptical at first. We were going through some tough growing pains, and I thought that a lack of cash would make it extremely difficult to improve the company morale.
I was wrong.
With his help and the help of the great team leaders he put in place, Josh not only rebuilt the culture, but also created a passionate, hard-working team that is as committed to growing and improving the company as I am.
Here are nine things I learned from him:
Be generous with praise. Everyone wants it and it’s one of the easiest things to give. Plus, praise from the CEO goes a lot farther than you might think. Praise every improvement that you see your team members make. Once you’re comfortable delivering praise one-on-one to an employee, try praising them in front of others.
Get rid of the managers. Projects without project managers? That doesn’t seem right! Try it. Removing the project lead or supervisor and empowering your staff to work together as a team rather then everyone reporting to one individual can do wonders. Think about it. What’s worse than letting your supervisor down? Letting your team down! Allowing people to work together as a team, on an equal level with their co-workers, will often produce better projects faster. People will come in early, stay late, and devote more of their energy to solving problems.
Make your ideas theirs. People hate being told what to do. Instead of telling people what you want done; ask them in a way that will make them feel like they came up with the idea. “I’d like you to do it this way” turns into “Do you think it’s a good idea if we do it this way?”
Never criticize or correct. No one, and I mean no one, wants to hear that they did something wrong. If you’re looking for a de-motivator, this is it. Try an indirect approach to get people to improve, learn from their mistakes, and fix them. Ask, “Was that the best way to approach the problem? Why not? Have any ideas on what you could have done differently?” Then you’re having a conversation and talking through solutions, not pointing a finger.
Make everyone a leader. Highlight your top performers’ strengths and let them know that because of their excellence, you want them to be the example for others. You’ll set the bar high and they’ll be motivated to live up to their reputation as a leader.
Take an employee to lunch once a week. Surprise them. Don’t make an announcement that you’re establishing a new policy. Literally walk up to one of your employees, and invite them to lunch with you. It’s an easy way to remind them that you notice and appreciate their work.
Give recognition and small rewards. These two things come in many forms: Give a shout out to someone in a company meeting for what she has accomplished. Run contests or internal games and keep track of the results on a whiteboard that everyone can see. Tangible awards that don’t break the bank can work too. Try things like dinner, trophies, spa services, and plaques.
Throw company parties. Doing things as a group can go a long way. Have a company picnic. Organize birthday parties. Hold a happy hour. Don’t just wait until the holidays to do a company activity; organize events throughout the year to remind your staff that you’re all in it together.
Share the rewards—and the pain. When your company does well, celebrate. This is the best time to let everyone know that you’re thankful for their hard work. Go out of your way to show how far you will go when people help your company succeed. If there are disappointments, share those too. If you expect high performance, your team deserves to know where the company stands. Be honest and transparent.

social skill
Do you feel awkward in conversations with people? Are you having a difficult time of pinpointing why? Do feel it's impossible to forge lasting and meaningful connections with other kids and adults, no matter the situation? If your answer to any of these questions is "yes", then you need to look at how you attempt to interact with others, and see how your social skills can be improved to get you out there and interacting with people in no time. Here are seven proven tips to improve your social skills and get you out there.
VALIDATE YOUR OWN EMOTIONS
Many of the problems that come with poor social skills is the mistaken understanding that we look to others to validate our own emotions and worth. This is incorrect. You and you alone are responsible for the state of your own emotions, no matter what awful things someone might say to you. Be a mature adult (or kid) and take responsibility.
DON'T TRY TO THINK LOGICALLY ABOUT SOCIAL INTERACTIONS
People are not rational creatures, they are rationalizing creatures. Most awkward social interaction stems from one person attempting to logically interpret the actions or emotions of the other person, when logical simply doesn't apply. Stop trying to be logical, and much if not all of the frustration you feel will melt away.
AVOID CRITICIZING OTHERS
Socially awkward people often have a problem with learning their mental filter, and controlling their compulsion to say whatever crosses their mind, positive or negative. Learn to control your need to criticize others. Criticism is a bad verbal communication habit.
TALK LESS ABOUT YOURSELF AND MORE ABOUT OTHERS
Social interaction would be easy if everyone simply wanted to talk about the other person. Alas, it rarely works that way. Learn to be interested in other people, and find the best ways to get them interested in learning about you, without volunteering to do it for them.
FOCUS OUTWARDLY
Try to become more of an extrovert if you're introverted (even though biologically this is impossible), in all facets of your life, and shift your focus away from yourself and towards the needs of others.
STOP BLAMING OTHERS
Along the lines of the previous point, do not blame others for your own ability to communicate or interact socially. You alone are responsible for fostering good social skills in yourself.
AVOID NEGATIVITY
No one likes to be around negative people, and nothing inhibits social interaction or growth more quickly than your own negative attitude. Try to keep the condemnations and complaints to a minimum in any and all conversations.
Social skills can be tough for kids and adults. In this article are seven proven tips to improve your social skills and get you out there socializing well with others.
Follow the seven tips for effective social skills and you'll be easily making friends in no time. You can also learn about a helpful resource called Elite Social Control.

Continue reading this article for the top 11 traits you can develop to build strong self-confidence that attracts the people, job, and pleasures of life you want.
EFFECTS OF FIRST LVE
First love can be joyful, passionate and intense, but if you’re looking for happiness in later life, it’s best to avoid it altogether, says a new research. In a book related to the subject, a collection of new research papers by Britain’s leading sociologists, edited by Dr Malcolm Brynin, principal research officer at the Institute for Social and Economic Research at the University of Essex, the claims have been made.
According to Brynin, the euphoria of puppy love can damage future relationships, reports a daily. “Remarkably, it seems that the secret to longterm happiness in a relationship is to skip a first relationship,” said Brynin. “In an ideal world, you would wake up already in your second relationship,” the expert said.
While searching for the ingredients of successful long-term partnerships, Brynin found that intense first loves could set unrealistic benchmarks, against which we judge future relationships. “If you had a very passionate first relationship and allow that feeling to become your benchmark for a relationship dynamic, then it becomes inevitable that future, more adult partnerships will seem boring and a disappointment,” he said.
Adults in successful long-term partnerships are those who have taken a calm, pragmatic view of what they need from a relationship, Brynin found. “The problems start if you try not only to get everything you need for an adult relationship, but also strive for the heights of excitement and intensity you had in your first experience of love. The solution is clear: if you can protect yourself from intense passion in your first relationship, you will be happier in your later relationships,” he said.

How to motivate
Be generous with praise. Everyone wants it and it’s one of the easiest things to give. Plus, praise from the CEO goes a lot farther than you might think. Praise every improvement that you see your team members make. Once you’re comfortable delivering praise one-on-one to an employee, try praising them in front of others.
Get rid of the managers. Projects without project managers? That doesn’t seem right! Try it. Removing the project lead or supervisor and empowering your staff to work together as a team rather then everyone reporting to one individual can do wonders. Think about it. What’s worse than letting your supervisor down? Letting your team down! Allowing people to work together as a team, on an equal level with their co-workers, will often produce better projects faster. People will come in early, stay late, and devote more of their energy to solving problems.
Make your ideas theirs. People hate being told what to do. Instead of telling people what you want done; ask them in a way that will make them feel like they came up with the idea. “I’d like you to do it this way” turns into “Do you think it’s a good idea if we do it this way?”
Never criticize or correct. No one, and I mean no one, wants to hear that they did something wrong. If you’re looking for a de-motivator, this is it. Try an indirect approach to get people to improve, learn from their mistakes, and fix them. Ask, “Was that the best way to approach the problem? Why not? Have any ideas on what you could have done differently?” Then you’re having a conversation and talking through solutions, not pointing a finger.
Make everyone a leader. Highlight your top performers’ strengths and let them know that because of their excellence, you want them to be the example for others. You’ll set the bar high and they’ll be motivated to live up to their reputation as a leader.
Take an employee to lunch once a week. Surprise them. Don’t make an announcement that you’re establishing a new policy. Literally walk up to one of your employees, and invite them to lunch with you. It’s an easy way to remind them that you notice and appreciate their work.
Give recognition and small rewards. These two things come in many forms: Give a shout out to someone in a company meeting for what she has accomplished. Run contests or internal games and keep track of the results on a whiteboard that everyone can see. Tangible awards that don’t break the bank can work too. Try things like dinner, trophies, spa services, and plaques.
Throw company parties. Doing things as a group can go a long way. Have a company picnic. Organize birthday parties. Hold a happy hour. Don’t just wait until the holidays to do a company activity; organize events throughout the year to remind your staff that you’re all in it together.
Share the rewards—and the pain. When your company does well, celebrate. This is the best time to let everyone know that you’re thankful for their hard work. Go out of your way to show how far you will go when people help your company succeed. If there are disappointments, share those too. If you expect high performance, your team deserves to know where the company stands. Be honest and transparent.

giftsTake a minute. Better yet, take an entire hour or however long it takes. Close the door, light a candle, put on some soothing music and relax. Bask in the quiet serenity of these precious moments and wash away all of your cares. Recognize all that you have experienced in 2011—the good and the great, as well the challenging opportunities. Allow yourself to release anxiety, shed a few tears, reach deep within to acknowledge the wonder of your life and the possibilities ahead in the new year.

CHRISTMAS
As the magical day of spiritual blessings and gifting is on the horizon, let us take time to give a special prayer for peace on Earth and all who dwell upon her. It is so easy to get caught up in the commercialism of the season and all of the wonderful lights and decorations. If each soul simply took one moment, one breath, with one heart beat dedicated to a peaceful planet - we would all be so wonderfully blessed.
To enjoy family is one of the greatest gifts that we have to open on Christmas morning. Not everyone has family to share the day with or to talk with, or to share a wonderful meal with. So when you are offering your gratitude and thanks for your own family, please include those who don't have one in your blessings.
Ok - ok I know that sometimes family and Christmas are a recipe for disaster or indigestion, but we can change that perception in our hearts and minds and simply become an observer of human nature for the duration of our visits. Hold the vision of unity, oneness and a sense of peace on earth will calm, and comfort you through the holidays.
I have enjoyed meeting you and sharing my work of insights and inspirations. Please have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year as we begin the countdown to a better world.

LIFE SECRET
1. Feel gratitude. When you concentrate on the big picture, it's easier to exhibit feelings of gratitude. When you're grateful, you remain positive and appreciative of every joyful moment in life.
Sometimes people get too caught up in a sense of entitlement, which leads to negative feelings. Concentrating on gratitude, instead, will get you where you desire.
2. Be optimistic. Some say that life is all about optimism. And it's true! An optimistic attitude is one of the few things you need to succeed.
If you're trying to achieve a concrete goal, optimism will help you accomplish it.
If you're trying to change your mindset, optimism will make the task easier.
Optimism can be the driving force that keeps you going.
3. Exhibit the traits you desire. It was Gandhi who said that you should be the change you want to see in the world.
With these wise words in mind, you can replace wanting with some bold action. With some persistence and perseverance, you can make it happen.
4. Adopt a prosperous mindset. Take a moment to determine what prosperity means to you. Are you hoping for money, a fulfilling career, or a relationship that lasts a lifetime?
Know what you want, then adopt the right mindset. Once you do, you've then set yourself in the right direction toward your goals.
5. Find the silver lining. As you go through life, you will no doubt realize that things are not always going to go your way. But even in tough times you need to keep your chin up.
Instead of allowing negativity to consume your life, seek out the silver lining. This fresh attitude can be the difference between being held hostage and achieving your goals.
6. Take small steps. When the place you're going seems far away and unachievable, it's important to break it down into small steps.
Give yourself an achievable goal with a realistic time frame. Break that one down into smaller goals.
When you avoid getting overwhelmed, you'll gain the confidence to persevere.
You're Already There
It's a good idea to practice one of these tips at a time until you've incorporated them into your life. Perhaps you can spend a week perfecting one strategy and, then the next week, add another one to your repertoire while continuing with the first one. Soon enough, you'll be a natural at all of them!
Once you choose a powerful and positive mindset, you'll find that you've already achieved much of what you want.
Just remember: You already have the traits, mindset, and lifestyle you desire, and you know that success is inevitable, but only when you have the will to break through the obstacles in your mind!

I wish to bring you joy
Sleepless, dreamless, hopeless nights,
I wish for you to come.
To fill my eyes with tears of happiness,
and take away this glum.
I wish for you to put your hands around me,
and make me cozy and warm,
and fill my stomach with butterflies and bees,
that so gently swarm.
I wish for you to bring me joy,
when everything seems so bad,
and take me out of this unhappy mood,
that makes me feel so sad.
I wish for you to give me back the memories
that brightened up my heart,
and let us share more of them,
because I do not understand
why we ever did part.
I wish for everything to be as it was,
having soft sleeps filled with dreams and hope tonight,
so that for every coming day there is a shine of light.
Does it have to end like this?
For I'm not back in your arms,
my dreams still torn,
my heart still empty,
my life with no happiness,
my day with no future without you.
I wish for you to come.
To fill my eyes with tears of happiness,
and take away this glum.
I wish for you to put your hands around me,

You'll Say Words Of Praise,
But I Won't Hear Praise Me Now Instead !

You'll Forget My Faults
But I Won't Know Forget Then Now, Instead !

For You Never Know
When Time Will Take Them Away
From You Forever !

Dealing With Children Who Fail In Exams
Long nights, tiring days and a painful mind was what most school children and teens were going through the whole of last month. With board exams, school examinations and college exams , most kids and teenagers were in a frenzy, studying their level best to achieve a great number on their certificate.
It is almost time now for the results to be announced and for almost all kids, teenagers and parents it is a time they are griping their teeth anxiously waiting for the what the outcome might be, which is 'the results'!
There will be tears of joy when you see your child looking at her/his marks card and if something bad has to happen (God Forbid ) here is what you should do, for your child.
1. Failure is a stepping stone to success. Tell your child that you still love him/her and that failure is not the end of the road for there is always a next time to achieve something greater.
2. If your child has failed in the examination, show some support even though this kills you too. Being there by the side of your child and encouraging him/her , helps them learn from their failures.
3. Don't impose your ideas and rules at this period as the child is already in an unstable mind frame and imposing ways to study might just hinder his thought that he/she is hopeless and good for nothing. Just be there and comfort your child if he/she has failed in the examination.
4. Make you child understand that failure is a part of reality and some day or the other we all have to accept it. Listen to what he/she has to say as this is the time when you need to be a patient parent for the situation is very delicate.
5. If your child has failed in the examination, do not make the mistake of cheering them instantly thinking that they will get over it. This situation takes time to heal and it will only fade away if you are close to your child, helping him/her get over this period of failure.
6. If your child has failed in the examination, never leave them alone at any given point of time as they are capable of doing something stupid.
7. As for parents, no doubt you feel let down after your child has failed in the examination. But, if you think you are not good in handling the situation, ask for help, which the best is from a psychologist!
Go slow on your children and take one step at a time during this examination period.

GOOD IMPRESSIONS
Impressions are important: They leave an initial taste in people's mouths that can remain prevalent for the entire relationship. If you are paranoid about what kind of impression you make, run through these seven list items and see if you are consistent with them; if you are, then you will probably expose the best of yourself. If not, then work to meet these standards.
1. Dress: The absolute first impression you will make on someone will be through your clothing, because that is what is seen from a distance, and cannot change throughout your meeting. Make sure to dress according to the situation-don' t over or under dress-and maintain within the limits of good taste. If you aren't sure if what you're wearing looks good, ask people for an honest opinion. One last thought: always, and I mean always, pull up your pants
2. Hygiene: Take a shower! Brush your teeth! You must be fully bathed and groomed before you meet with someone for the first time, because scruffy looking people generally don't seem as neat and mature. Pay attention to the little elements like breath: keep a pack of mint gum with you wherever you go, and periodically check to make sure you aren't killing bugs every time you breathe out. If you sweat heavily, keep a small stick of deodorant/anti- perspirant close, and if you notice you're stinking you can freshen up. People notice the minutiae!
3. Manners: At the table and with other people be civilized, polite and respectful: keep your elbows off of the table, open doors for people and address everyone-initially, at least-by their formal title. This will make an especially good impression on senior citizens, because you will prove that you aren't one of those "new fangled punks."
4. Speech: Have clean, clear diction and speak sans "like" or "you know." It is important to be articulate because that inspires a feeling of intelligence and education in the person you are meeting with. Always leave out profanity, and whatever you do, make sure to speak loud enough for all to hear, because conversationalists are easily agitated if you force them say "excuse me?" more than a few times.
5. Discretion: Choose what to share about yourself: forget to tell everyone about that time you went camping and ruptured your appendix, then fell face first into a pile of bug infested leaves-it is rude and will alienate you from the group. Try to withhold from conversations on personal subjects like religion or more disgusting topics like personal medical care. Before you speak, think about the possible impact of what you might say, then imagine its implications in the long run.
6. Humor: Humor can be your most powerful tool or your doom, because everyone has a slightly different sense of humor. What might be hilarious to you might seem disgusting to another, or vice versa. Try to withhold from any jokes that aren't family or dinner table friendly; you can tell those later.
7. Start and End with a Bang: Whoever you are meeting with will remember how you greet them, and then in what manner you left them. If you feel you have trouble with this, practice a few different phrases in the mirror, and introduce elements like: "pleased to meet you," or "honored to make your acquaintance. " Ignore the antiquity of these phrases; it often makes them more memorable.
Making a good impression will set any relationship off on a good foot. If you are in a situation where you need to be judged at face value-such as a job interview or date-then make sure to go through this list and make sure you are within bounds of reason and good taste on all of your decisions.
1. Dress: The absolute first impression you will make on someone will be through your clothing, because that is what is seen from a distance, and cannot change throughout your meeting.

CARRIER GUIDE
The 9 most important career planning tips is listed below:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Never Stop Learning
Life-long learning is your keyword.
The world is constantly changing, and everybody is looking for new ways of doing business.
If you have decided that your current skills are good enough, you have also decided that your current job is good enough.
But if you want a career in the future, you should add regular updates to your skills and knowledge.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Ask, Listen And Learn
A good listener can learn a lot.
Listen to your co-workers, your boss, and your superiors. You can learn a lot from their experience.
Ask about issues that interest you, and listen to what they say. Let them tell you about how things work, and what you could have done better.
Most people will love to be your free tutor.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Fulfill Your Current Job
Your current job might be best place to start your career.
It is often very little that separates successful people from the average. But nothing comes free.
If you do your job well and fulfill your responsibilities, this is often the best way to start a new career.
Talk to your supervisor about things you can do. Suggest improvements. Offer your help when help is needed. In return ask for help to build a better career. It is often possible - right inside your own organization - especially if you have proved to be a valued employee.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Build Your Network
Your next career step might arise from your contact network.
Did you know that more than 50% of all jobs are obtained from contact networks?
If you have a good contact network, it is also a good place to discover future careers, to explore new trends, and to learn about new opportunities.
Spend some time building new contacts, and don�x378t forget to maintain the ones you already have.
One of the best ways to get serious information from your network is to regularly ask your contacts how they are, what they do, and what is new about their careers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Identify Your Current Job
Your current job should be identified, not assumed.
Make sure you don�x378t work with tasks you assume are important. This is waste of time and talent.
When you start in a new job, talk to your superior about your priorities. If you�x378re not sure about what is most important, then ask him. And ask him again. Often you will be surprised about the differences between what you assume, and what is really important.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Identify Your Next Job
Your dream job must be identified.
Before you start planning your future career, be sure you have identified your dream job.
In your dream job, you will be doing all the things you enjoy, and none of the things you don�x378t enjoy. What kind of job would that be?
Do you like or dislike having responsibility for other employees. Do you like to work with technology or with people? Do you want to run your own business? Do you want to be an artist, a designer or a skilled engineer? A manager?
Before building your future career your goal must be identified.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Prepare Yourself
Your dream might show up tomorrow. Be prepared.
Don�x378t wait a second. Update your CV now, and continue to update it regularly.
Tomorrow your dream job may show up right before your nose. Prepare for it with a professional CV and be ready to describe yourself as a valuable object to anyone that will try to recruit you.
If you don�x378t know how to write a CV, or how to describe yourself, start learning it now.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Pick The Right Tools
Pick the tools you can handle.
You can build your future career using a lot of different tools. Studying at W3Schools is easy. Taking a full master degree is more complicated.
You can add a lot to your career by studying books and tutorials (like the one you find at W3Schools). Doing short time courses with certification tests might add valuable weight to your CV. And don�x378t forget: Your current job is often the most valuable source of building new skills.
Don�x378t pick a tool that is too heavy for you to handle!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. Realize Your Dreams
Put your dreams into action.
Don�x378t let a busy job kill your dreams. If you have higher goals, put them into action now.
If you have plans about taking more education, getting a better job, starting your own company or something else, you should not use your daily job as a "waiting station". Your daily job will get more and more busy, you will be caught up in the rat race, and you will burn up your energy.
If you have this energy, you should use it now, to realize your dreams.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

kiss helps
1) IT HELPS PREVENT TOOTH DECAY
Dr. Peter Gorden, Dental Advisor at the British Dental
Association, explains: "After eating, your mouth is full of sugar
solution and acidic saliva, which cause plaque build up. Kissing is
nature's own cleaning process," he adds. "It stimulates salivary flow
and brings plaque levels down to normal."
2) IT RELIEVES TENSION
Stress Consultant Michelle Kay Mcnabb says, "A passionate kiss
is a great relaxation technique, when your mouth is in a kissing
position, you're almost smiling and, as our emotions and body language
are so closely linked, it's almost impossible to smile and feel tense
at the same time," she explains. "Also, your breathing becomes deeper and your eyes close when you kiss - that's what you do when you relax. It's
a perfect way to shut out the world."
3) IT HELPS YOU TO LOSE WEIGHT
A long kiss makes the metabolism burn up sugar faster than
usual," says Claire Potter, Cosmo's Fitness Consultant, "The calories
burned depend on the intensity, but you can rely on10 calories every
ten minutes."
4) IT SLOWS THE AGING PROCESS
"Kissing helps to tone ur cheek and jaw muscles, so they're
less likely to sag," adds Claire Potter.
5) IT INCREASES FITNESS LEVELS
Your heart is pumping, your pulse is racing... "If kissing is exciting, you release adrenaline into the bloodstream and your heart pumps more blood in your body," according to Dr. Susan Hotchkies. "It's a great cardiovascular workout."
6) IT'S A GOOD INDICATION OF WHAT'S TO COME
Kissing a partner gives you the perfect opportunity to check
out his/her pheromones - these are the chemical messengers that signal
sexual attraction. "The first kiss is always a good way to work out if
there's any chemistry between you, "says Paul Brown, a sexual and
marital therapist." In humans, it's thought that smells plays a vital
part in subconscious attraction, and if your pheromones aren't 'in
tune', you're unlikely to hit off in other areas."
And finally...
7) IT BOOSTS SELF-ESTEEM
There's nothing better than a passionate kiss for a major dose of feel
good factor. "In theory, when u're kissing, you're happy. And when
you're happy, you feel good about yourself," says psychotherapist Paul
Zeal.

SOMETHING WE DON'T KNOW
1. Q: Why are many coin banks shaped like pigs? A: Long ago, dishes and cookware in Europe were made of a dense orange clay called 'pygg'. When people saved coins in jars made of this clay, the jars became known as 'pygg banks.' When an English potter misunderstood the word, he made a bank that resembled a pig. And it caught on.
2. Q: Did you ever wonder why dimes, quarters and half dollars have notches, while pennies and nickels do not? A: The US Mint began putting notches on the edges of coins containing gold and silver to discourage holders from shaving off small quantities of the precious metals. Dimes, quarters and half dollars are notched because they used to contain silver. Pennies and nickels aren't notched because the metals they contain are not valuable enough to shave.
3. Q: Why do men's clothes have buttons on the right while women's clothes have buttons on the left? A: When buttons were invented, they were very expensive and worn primarily by the rich. Because wealthy women were dressed by maids, dressmakers put the buttons on the maid's right! Since most people are right-handed, it is easier to push buttons on the right through holes on the left. And that's where women's buttons have remained since.
4. Q. Why do X's at the end of a letter signify kisses? A: In the Middle Ages, when many people were unable to read or write, documents were often signed using an X. Kissing the X represented an oath to fulfill obligations specified in the document. The X and the kiss eventually became synonymous.
5. Q: Why is shifting responsibility to someone else called 'passing the buck'? A: In card games, it was once customary to pass an item, called a buck, from player to player to indicate whose turn it was to deal. If a player did not wish to assume the responsibility, he would 'pass the buck' to the next player.
6. Q: Why do people clink their glasses before drinking a toast? A: It used to be common for someone to try to kill an enemy by offering him a poisoned drink. To prove to a guest that a drink was safe, it became customary for a guest to pour a small amount of his drink into the glass of the host. Both men would drink it simultaneously. When a guest trusted his host, he would then just touch or clink the host's glass with his own.
7. Q: Why are people in the public eye said to be 'in the limelight'? A: Invented in 1825, limelight was used in lighthouses and stage lighting by burning a cylinder of lime which produced a brilliant light. In the theatre, performers on stage 'in the limelight' were seen by the audience to be the center of attention.
8. Q: Why do ships and aircraft in trouble use 'mayday' as their call for help? A: This comes from the French word m'aidez - meaning 'help me' â€" and is pronounced 'mayday.'
9. Q: Why is someone who is feeling great 'on cloud nine'?
A: Types of clouds are numbered according to the altitudes they attain, with nine being the highest cloud. If someone is said to be on cloud nine, that person is floating well above worldly cares.
10. Q: Why are zero scores in tennis called 'love'?
A: In France, where tennis first became popular, a big, round zero on the scoreboard looked like an egg and was called 'l'oeuf,' which is French for 'egg.' When tennis was introduced in the US, Americans pronounced it 'love.'
11. Q: In golf, where did the term 'Caddie' come from?
A. When Mary, later Queen of Scots, went to France as a young girl (for education & survival), Louis, King of France, learned that she loved the Scot game 'golf.' So he had the first golf course outside of Scotland built for her enjoyment. To make sure she was properly chaperoned (and guarded) while she played, Louis hired cadets from a military school to accompany her. Mary liked this a lot and when she returned to Scotland (not a very good idea in the long run), she took the practice with her. In French, the word cadet is pronounced 'ca-day' and the Scots changed it into 'caddie.' Now YOU know just about everything!
2. Q: Did you ever wonder why dimes, quarters and half dollars have notches, while pennies and nickels do not? A: The US Mint began putting notches on the edges of coins containing gold and silver to discourage holders from shaving off small quantities of the precious metals.

11. Q: In golf, where did the term 'Caddie' come from?
A. When Mary, later Queen of Scots, went to France as a young girl (for education & survival), Louis, King of France, learned that she loved the Scot game 'golf.' So he had the first golf course outside of Scotland built for her enjoyment. To make sure she was properly chaperoned (and guarded) while she played, Louis hired cadets from a military school to accompany her. Mary liked this a lot and when she returned to Scotland (not a very good idea in the long run), she took the practice with her. In French, the word cadet is pronounced 'ca-day' and the Scots changed it into 'caddie.' Now YOU know just about everything!
