Life is more strict than teacher.
Bcoz Teacher teaches lesson & then takes Exam,
But Life first takes Exam & then teaches Lessons.

Start Where You Stand.....
Start where you stand and never mind the past,
The past won't help you in beginning new,
If you have left it all behind at last
Why, that's enough, you're done with it, you're through;
This is another chapter in the book,
This is another race that you have planned,
Don't give the vanished days a backward look,
Start where you stand.
The world won't care about your old defeats
If you can start anew and win success;
The future is your time, and time is fleet
And there is much of work and strain and stress;
Forget the buried woes and dead despairs,
Here is a brand-new trial right at hand,
The future is for him who does and dares,
Start where you stand.
The past won't help you in beginning new,

WHAT MONEY CANT BUY
His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to eke out a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog. There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow
and terrifying death.
The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved.
"I want to repay you," said the nobleman. "You saved my son's life."
"No, I can't accept payment for what I did," the Scottish farmer replied, waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own son came to the door of the family hovel.
"Is that your son?" the nobleman asked. "Yes," the farmer replied proudly.
"I'll make you a deal. Let me take him and give him a good education.
If the lad is anything like his father, he'll grow to a man you can be proud of."
And that he did. In time, Farmer Fleming's son graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin.
Years afterward, the nobleman's son was stricken with pneumonia.
What saved him? Penicillin.
The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill.
His son's name? Sir Winston Churchill.
Someone once said what goes around comes around.

BE WHAT U ARE, NOT WHAT OTHERS WANT U TO BE
A person can make you feel high,
A person can make you feel low.
But only you can decide,
Which way you want to go.
A person can hurt you mentally,
A person can hurt you physically.
But only you can place,
A limit on your abilities.
A person can cause drama,
A person can cause a situation.
But only you can create,
Your own reputation.
A person can make you laugh,
A person can make you cry.
But only you can make,
Decisions for your life.
I guess what I'm trying to say,
That when you're living day to day.
Don't live by what people do,
But live by what you know is true.
A person can make you feel low.
But only you can decide,
Which way you want to go.
A person can hurt you mentally,
A person can hurt you physically.
But only you can place,
A limit on your abilities.
A person can cause drama,
A person can cause a situation.

MY WRITE UP PUBLISHED IN DAINIK BHASKAR ON VOLUNTARY BLOOD DONATION DAY
Khoon daan se bada tohfa koi nai maana jata kyu ki ye tohfa anmol hota hai. Zarurat ki bat kare to har 3 second me ek bar kisi na kisi ko blood chadane ki zarurat hoti hai. World Health Organization ne 1997 me target rakha tha ki zarurat padne par har kisi ko blood bina koi mol diye hue milna chahiye. Par Saal 2006 tak 124 me se sirf 49 desh ye target poora kar paye. Hairani ki bat ye hai ki vigyaan ab tak khoon banane ke liye koi shodh nai kar paya hai aur manav ko manav ka hi khoon diya ja sakta hai. Aaj National Voluntary Blood Donation Day pe hum blood donation se judi ek fact file de rahe hai ta ki sirf aanjane dark e karan aap is seva me peeche na reh jaye.
KIS CASE ME KITA CHAIYE BLOOD
Bone Marrow Transplant 120 units of platelets/ 20 units of red blood cells
Automobile Accident 50 units of blood
Organ Transplant 40 units of blood / 30 units of platelets
20 bags of cryoprecipitate 25 units of fresh frozen plasma
Burn Victims 20 units of platelets
Liver Transplant 10 units
Heart Surgery 6 units of blood / 6 units of platelets
1. Kansas University Medical Center ki ek research me se ye natija nikal ke aya hai ki khoon daan karne se donor ko khud ko fayda hota hai aur use heart ki rog hone ki sambhavna doosro se 30% tak kam hoti hai.
2. Ek bar blood donate karne se aap 4 zindgiya bachaate hai kyu ki is blood ko 4 bhaago me Red Cells, White Cells, Plasma & Platelets mein baanta jata hai, jo alag alag logo ke kaam aa sakte hai.
3. 18 saal se 60 saal tak aur 45 kg se jyada wajan ke insaan har 56 days baad blood donate kar sakte hai.
4. Ek normal insaan me 5 se 6 litre tak blood hota hai jisme se daan karte samay sirf 300 -400 ml blood hi ek bar me liya jata hai jo ki 24 se 48 ghanto me bina koi special diet ya medicine liye poora ho jata hai.
5. Donor ko blood donate karne se AIDS ya koi bhi aur bimaari nai ho sakti.
6. O- type blood vale log universal donors hote hai jinka blood kisi bhi blood group vale insaan ko diya ja saakta hai. Par India me sirf 38% logo ka hi ye blood group hota hai. chahe hamare India ki aadhi se jyada population blood donate karne ke liye medically fit hai, par donate karne vale sirf 1000 me 4 log hi aage ate hai.

DO YOU KNOW YOUR EMPLOYEES
On walking into the factory, the Managing Director of the Company noticed a young guy leaning against the wall, doing nothing.
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
1. Ever notice all your credit cards are of uniform shape and size? Their dimensions are governed by the ISO 7810 standard, an international standard for identification 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.

Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained. Marie Curie
MY INSPIRATION
ae maalik tere bande hum
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
aise ho humare karam

GOVT TAKES ON TEXTILE SECTOR
The government Thursday said it will release a subsidy of Rs.2,546 crore ($535 million) for the crisis-hit textile sector.The fund will reach 12,540 beneficiaries through 121 financial institutional banks. In India's annual budget presented last month, the government allocated Rs.3,140 crore for the Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS) for textile firms. Maran said that the beneficiaries would get 10 percent capital subsidy for the machinery they had purchased. The country's textile sector is facing one of its worst crises as business orders from the advanced economies like the US and Europe fell sharply due to the global slowdown.
According to the Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC), India's garment exports fell 15.4 percent in the first quarter this fiscal.

AMRITSARIAN BOY SHINES AT ALL INDIA LEVEL
Gaurav Bhatia, a PhD student of Guru Nanak Dev University, has stood third in the Indian Economic Services (IES) examination. Unlike others, he completely relied on self-study. Gaurav says, “I decided not to join any coaching centre at Delhi as such institutes were only hankering after money. Hard work is the key to success.”
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
The first Indian entity to set foot in Africa was the Tata group, which in 1977 opened an office in Zambia and sold vehicles. Since then the group's operations has expanded to tea, hotels, coal mines, telecom and soda ash, with investments over $1.5 billion across seven countries.
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.

GENEROSITY
Mahatma Gandhi went from city to city, village to village collecting funds for the Charkha Sangh. During one of his tours he addressed a meeting in Orissa. After his speech a poor old woman got up. She was bent with age, her hair was grey and her clothes were in tatters. The volunteers tried to stop her, but she fought her way to the place where Gandhiji was sitting. "I must see him," she insisted and going up to Gandhiji touched his feet. Then from the folds of her sari she brought out a copper coin and placed it at his feet. Gandhiji picked up the copper coin and put it away carefully. The Charkha Sangh funds were under the charge of Jamnalal Bajaj. He asked Gandhiji for the coin but Gandhiji refused. "I keep cheques worth thousands of rupees for the Charkha Sangh," Jamnalal Bajaj said laughingly "yet you won't trust me with a copper coin." "This copper coin is worth much more than those thousands," Gandhiji said. "If a man has several lakhs and he gives away a thousand or two, it doesn't mean much. But this coin was perhaps all that the poor woman possessed. She gave me all she had. That was very generous of her. What a great sacrifice she made. That is why I value this copper coin more than a crore of rupees."
