नवजात बच्चे के बारे ज्ञान की बातें...


  • हर दस में से करीब चार बच्चे किसी जन्मजात निशाँ के साथ दुनिया में आतें हैं|नवजात शिशुयों की घ्राण इन्द्रियां तेज होती हैं|जनम के एक हफ्ते तक वे अपनी माँ को उसकी गंध से पहचान लेते हैं|
  • हर नवजात शिशु की नाक बंदर की तरह होती है,क्यूंकि तब उसकी नाक की हड्डी विकसित नहीं होती|सभी बच्चो का रंग लालिमा लिए होता है,क्यूंकि उनके खून में लाल रक्त कणिकाएं ज्यादा होती हैं|
  • बच्चों की नज़र ज्यादा दूर तक नही जाती है|उनकी नज़रें आठ इंच तक ही केन्द्रित हो सकती हैं|इसलिए अगर आप चाहतें हैं की बच्चा आपको साफ़-साफ़ देख सके,तो आपको उसके समीप जाना होगा|
  • बहुत छोटे बच्चे सीधी रेखाओं वाली आकृतियों की बजाय घुमावदार लाइने देखना पसंद करतें हैं|पुरानी मान्यता के विपरीत,वे वर्णाध नहीं होता,बल्कि उन्हें लाल और नीले जैसे प्राथमिक रंगों को देखना भाता है|

Bhagvat Gita - Profound Profundities !


*Bhagavat Gita** ? *

*19th Chapter*
*
*
Arjun*: Hey Vasudev, how can I do the most heinous and unpardonable act of
forwarding junk mail that I receive, to my friends, relatives and revered
elders?

Krishna: Hey Paartha, at this moment, none of them is your friend or foe,
relative or in-law, young or old and good or evil. You have no escape from
following your Net-Dharma. Make haste to log on and send off the junk mail
to one and all. That is the only Karma expected of you and Dharma you must
follow.*

*Arjun: Hey Murari ! Do not implore me to do something that pricks my
conscience and stirs my soul.

Krishna: O Kunti-Puthra, you are caught in the vicious circle of the Maya.
In this material world, you are committed to no one except to yourself, your
Dharma and your mouse. Junk mails have existed for the last 25 years and
will remain long after you are gone. Rise above the Maya and perform your
bounden duty.

Arjun: Lord Krishna, pray and enlighten me on how junk mail is related to
the Maya.

Krishna: Vatsa, junk mail is the 6th element in the universe ? Aap, Vaayu,
Jal, Agni, Aakaash and Junk Mail. It is at the same time animate and
inanimate, living and dead beat. It overloads the system and fills up the
hard disk. But it serves one great purpose. It leads people to believe that
they are filling their time in an intellectual pursuit by reading and
reforwarding junk mail. It gives them a sense of achievement without
investing their intellect and efforts. Like the Atman that leaves one's
physical body and moves on to another, the junk mail moves from system to
system and never gets deleted or dies.

Arjun: Great Giridhaari, kindly tell me what the true attributes of junk
mail are.

Krishna: Neither fire can burn it, nor air can evaporate it. Neither can it
be conquered nor can it be defeated. Junk mail is omnipresent and immortal
like your noble and eternal soul. Unlike an arrow shot from your bow, many a
time the junk mail forwarded by you, will even return to you safely after
some months or even years, allowing you to re-re-forward it to the same
people.

Arjun: Great Saarathi, my salutations to you. You have opened my eyes to the
cult of junk mail. I was lost in the Maya and have been reading all the junk
mail that I keep receiving and doing no other Karma. Now on, I will just
press the "Forward" button without reading any of it and send it to all and
sundry, friends and foes, relatives and in-laws, young and old. That will
surely bring them to their knees in this epochal battle of Good against
Evil, in the Kurukshetra. *
*
Krishna: Arjuna, victory or defeat is not in your hands. Do not ponder over
the fruits of your labour. Just keep forwarding junk mail and make one and
all go bananas reading it and you will have done your supreme duty.
Tathastu.*

CORPORATE LESSONS


CORPORATE LESSON # 1

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is
finishing up her shower when the doorbell rings. After
a few seconds of arguing over which
one should go and answer the doorbell, the wife gives
up, quickly wraps herself up in a towel and runs
downstairs.

When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next
door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, "I'll
give you $ 800 just to drop that towel that you have
on". After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her
towel and stands naked in front of Bob. Bob has a
close look at her for a few seconds, hands over $800
and quietly leaves. Confused, but excited about her
good fortune, the woman wraps back up in the towel and
goes upstairs.

When she gets back to the bathroom, her husband asks
from the shower "Who was that?" "It was Bob the next
door neighbour," she replies. "Great," the husband
says, "did he say anything about the $! 800 he owes
me?"

After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand
up her leg. The nun looked at him and immediately
said, "Father, remember psalm 9?" The priest was
flustered and apologised profusely. He forced himself
to remove his hand. However,
he was unable to remove his eyes from her leg.

Further on, while changing gear, he let his hand slide
up her leg again. The nun once again said, "Father,
remember psalm 129?" Once again
the priest apologised. "Sorry sister, but the mind is
weak." Arriving at the convent, the nun got out, gave
him a meaningful glance and went on her way. On his
arrival at the church, the priest rushed to retrieve a
bible and looked up psalm 9. It Said, "Go forth and
seek; further up, you will find glory."

CORPORATE LESSON #6

A little mouse living on a farm was looking
through a crack in the wall one day and
saw the farmer and his wife opening a
package. The mouse was intrigued by what
food the package may contain. He was aghast
to discover that it was a mouse trap.

The mouse ran to the farmyard warning
everyone "there is a mouse trap in the
house, there is a mouse trap in the house."


The chicken raised his head and said "Mr.
Mouse, I can tell you this trap is a grave
concern to you, but it has no consequence
to me and I cannot be bothered with it."
The mouse turned to the pig "I am so very
sorry Mr. Mouse, but the trap is no concern
of mine either."

The mouse then turned to the bull,
"sounds like you have a problem Mr. Mouse,
but not one that concerns me."

The mouse returned to the house, head
down and dejected that no one would help
him or was concerned about his dilemma.
He knew he had to face the trap on his own.


That night the sound of a trap catching
its prey was heard throughout the house.
The farmer's wife rushed to see what was
caught. In the darkness she could not see
that it was a venomous snake who's tail the
trap had caught.



The snake bit the farmers wife.
The wife caught a bad fever and the
farmer knew the best way to treat a fever
was with chicken soup. The farmer took
his hatchet to the farmyard to get the
soups main ingredient.

The wife got sicker and friends and
neighbors came by to take turns sitting
with her round the clock. The farmer
knew he had to feed them, so he butchered
the pig. The farmer wife did not get
better, in fact she died and so many
friends and family came to her funeral
that the farmer had to slaughter the bull
to feed all of them.


Moral of the Story: "So the next time we
hear that one of our teammates is facing a
problem and think it does not concern or
effect us, let us remember that when anyone
of us is in trouble, we are all at risk. "


Married life enjoy!


Take a BREAK... ENJOY THE JOKE!!

* They say that marriage makes a man dizzy, and it's true. As soon as I got a wife, I lost my balance at the bank.

* Men want 3 qualities in wives: Economist in kitchen, artist in home & devil in bed. But they get artist in kitchen, devil in home & economist in Bed.

* Q: Why do women live longer than men?
Shopping never causes heart attacks, but paying the bill does!

* Before marriage: Roses are red, sky is blue. U r beautiful, I luv u.
* After marriage: Roses are dead, I'm blue.. U r my headache, one day I'll kill u.
* Getting married is very much like going to a restaurant with friends. You order what you want, and then when you see what the other person has, you wish you had ordered that.

Man: Is there any way for long life?
Dr: Get married..
Man: Will it help?
Dr: No, but the thought of long life will never come.

* Why do couples hold hands during their wedding?
It's a formality just like two boxers shaking hands before the fight begins!

Dead Trees : Wonderful

Dead Trees


It's a common story you hear all the time. What starts out as an accident turns into something amazing. So it was for Kevin Day, a graphic designer who's created a beautiful and moving story about one dead tree.

For over five years now, Day has been photographing the same tree on different days, through different seasons and in different lighting conditions. His most popular shot was taken one very early morning on August 18, 2005. He reminisces, it was "when the sun rose directly behind the tree from my best viewpoint and the early morning mist lingered and the dissipated at just the right moment, I couldn't take shots quick enough, the light was changing by the second and I could feel myself actually getting emotional and excited by taking photos of a dead tree!"

The unretouched photo, with the sun peeking through the tree's core, became his inspiration. With most of the work done by the sun and the mist, it was the photo that convinced Day that he had to make a set.

Another one of his most popular photos he calls African Sunset. Viewed an astounding 29,000 times, the photo looks like it could have been taken on an African savannah, rather than on a nondescript park in Berkshire, UK.

I was able to get in touch with Day to ask him a few questions. I wanted to know how he had the discipline to take photos of the same tree hundreds of times all the while making them look so incredibly beautiful and different. Here is what he said.

"I guess to shoot a series outdoors you need to be able to maintain an interest over a period of time, so make sure you enjoy the subject matter, and as I have said the most important/changeable factor is the light, so select a subject that looks at its best or comes alive when the light is at its most variable during the seasons - dawn or dusk. What I did enjoy about photographing the same subject over a prolonged period was that through repetition I discovered the best positions and angles for the shots so after a while I could concentrate more on getting the exposures to match what I wanted rather than concentrating on composition."

He continues, "For 5 years now I have been photographing it and I can overlay my most recent shot on top of one of the original ones and only the very smallest twigs have disappeared - most probably down to wind damage - I think that is what has fascinated me more than anything else, there is this wonderful old tree unchanging over the years and yet I can take hundreds of photos of it during the seasons and very few of them look the same. It is all about the change all around the constant."
