DO YOU KNOW YOUR EMPLOYEES
He approached the young man and calmly said to him, "How much do you earn?"
The young man was quite amazed that he was asked such A personal question, he replied, none the less, "I earn $ 2000.00 a month, Sir. Why?"
Without answering, the MD took out his wallet and removed $6000.00 cash and gave it to the young man and said, "Around here I pay people for working, not for standing around looking pretty!
Here is your 3 months salary, now GET OUT and don't come back".
The young man turned around and was quickly out of sight.
Noticing a few onlookers, the MD said in a very upset manner, "And that applies to everybody in this company".
He approached one of the onlookers and asked him, "Who's the young man I just fired?"
To which an amazing reply came - "He was the pizza delivery guy , Sir!"

SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT CREDIT CARDS
2. The expiration date on the card is “fake.” You can still use the card after its expiration date because the card number on your replacement will be the same.
3.Credit card numbers conform to the Luhn algorithm, which is just a simple checksum test on the number. What you do is start from the right and double each second digit (1111 becomes 2121), then add them all together, and you should end with a number evenly divisible by ten. If it doesn’t, it’s not a valid credit card number.
4. The first digit of the number is the Major Industry Identifier. 1/2 are for airlines, 3 is for travel/entertainment, 4/5 for banking and financial, 6 for merchandizing and financial, 7 for petroleum, 8 for telecommunications. 0 and 9 are for other assignments but you’ll likely never see them. If you look at an American Express card, you’ll see it starts with a 3, a throwback to their travel/entertainment roots.
5.The first six digits will correspond to the issuer, including the major industry identifier. 34xxxx/37xxxx are for American Express, 4xxxxx is for Visa, 51-55xxxx is for MasterCard, and 6011xx is for Discover.
The rest of the digits (except the last one, which is a checksum digit) is your account number.
6. Minors, those under the age of 18, are not obligated to pay back any charges to their credit cards (unless a parent co-signs, but then its the parent who is on the hook) because they are not allowed to enter into a binding contract.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
I wish to thank you all from the deepest corner of my heart for the honor given to your teacher on teacher's day. I pray to god to give you all success in life and may you touch the skies in your life.

TRUST IN GOD
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
MY INSPIRATION
aise ho humare karam
nekee par chale, aur badee se taley,
takey huste huey nikley dum
ye andheraa ghanaa chhaa rahaa,
tera insaan ghabara rahaa
ho rahaa bekhabar, kuch na aata najar,
sukh ka sooraj chupa ja rahaa
hai teri roshni mein jo dum
to amawas ko kar de poonam
bada kamjor hain aadmi,
abhi laakhon hain is mein kamee
par tu jo khadaa, hai dayalu bada,
teri kirpa se dharti thami
diya tune humey jab janam
too hee zelegaa hum sab ke ghum
jab julmon ka ho saamnaa,
tab tu hi humey thaamnaa
voh burai karey, hum bhalai bharey,
nahi badley ki ho kaamnaa
badh uthey pyaar ka har kadam
aur mitey bair ka ye bharam

AMRITSARIAN BOY SHINES AT ALL INDIA LEVEL
He is the only one from Punjab to clear this examination. Belonging to a middle class family, Bhatia was also selected as Assistant Commandant in 2005 and later as statistical investigator but because of his IES dream, he did not take up the posts.
INDIAN COMPANIES TARGET AFRICA
Over the last several years, major Indian groups like the Jindals, Godrej, Kirloskar, Infosys, Vedanta, Mahindra & Mahindra, Dabur and L&T, besides others, too have sought to tap the underdeveloped markets of Africa.
Essar, that now owns a 50% stake in 80,000 barrels-a-day refinery in Mombasa, said it will invest $350-450 million towards upgrade of the facility. It bought the stake from three oil majors — Shell, BP and Chevron — with the balance held by the Kenyan government. This is Essar's second business venture in Africa, where it is also a cellular operator under the Yu brand. The quest for energy security has driven companies including ONGC Videsh hold stakes in exploration blocks in the region.
