An interesting anecdote.....

This is one of the interesting anecdotes that has happened to me and I wish to narrate to you all.

I just had lunch then and was back to my seat. One of my colleagues cum subordinate by name Nitin Rai suddenly appeared in front of me with his Uncle (Yes his uncle wanted to visit his office). Nitin introduced his uncle to me and his uncle started speaking. Here are the dialogues that we shared.

Uncle : I am Nitin's uncle and I am going to give my daughter to him

Lakshmi : @#$@#$@#$

Uncle : Is Nitin really a software engineer in your company?

Lakshmi : Yes, ofcourse

Uncle : accha! good. Where does he sit?

Nitin and Lakshmi show his seating.

Uncle : what is 152?

Lakshmi : That is his seat number.

Uncle : Why is he called Nitin Rai and not Nitin Ashok?

Lakshmi : @#$@#$@ (I do not know myself) That is how it has been for years now

Uncle : Okay! What does your Company do?

I reply what our company does and stuff like that...

Uncle : Where is the factory?

Lakshmi @#$@#$@#$ what is that?

Uncle : That is where we do ding ding (expresses action) work

Lakshmi : Oh! No we do not do physical labour. We do mental Labour.

I show him computer and explain some bits of how we do daily work. Then Nitin's uncle asks lot of questions about the company employee strength, locations, etc

Uncle : How long do you know Nitin?

Lakshmi : I know him for almost 1.5 years.

Uncle : But he told me he has been working for more than 2 years here?

Lakshmi : I joined only 1.5 years ago and yes he must be working here for that long

Uncle : Are you his manager?

Lakshmi : Yes

Uncle : Why are you his manager?

Lakshmi : !@#$@$@%#%^@%@#$%@#$%

Uncle : Like you may have more experience, education, etc

Lakshmi : Yes you are right. I am a senior to him.

Uncle : How is he?

Lakshmi : Nitin is a very nice fellow and am sure you can get your daughter wedded to him

Uncle : Since you are his manager, I will give my daughter to him but if anything wrong happens you will be responsible..

Lakshmi : @#$@#^#$&$%&$%^#$%^#$%^#$%^#$%@$%@#$%^$%^%$*%^(^&)^$&%^#%#@%$@%@#$%@#$%^

Uncle : You must be earning a big fat salary isn't it?

Lakshmi : !@#$!@%%^#$&%$*%^*%$^&$%^#$^#$%^#$%^#$%&$%*^(^&*(%^^&$%^#$%@#%$@#%#@$%@#%@%

Nitin literally takes his uncle away by force :)

Ratan Tata - Something you did not know

Here is a Real Story of Ratan Tata:

So many people around the world want to know that "What is the Net Worth of Ratan Tata"?

TATA Group is running 96 businesses and out of which 28 Companies are publically listed on the various stock exchanges.
Tata Group is world's top 50 Group according to Market capitalization and
Reputation.

Have you ever thought why Ratan Tata's name is not in the list of billionaire' s club? why Ratan Tata is not a billionaire on the Forbes magazine list of billionaire people of the world?

The reason is that, TATA Group's 96 companies are held by its main Company "TATA Sons" and the main owner of this TATA Sons is not Ratan Tata but various charitable organizations developed and run by TATA Group.

Out of which JRD TATA Trust & Sir Ratan Tata Trust are the main. 65% ownership of TATA Sons which is the key holding company of the other 96 TATA Group Company is held by various charitable organizations.

So this 65% ownership ownership of Tata Sons Limited is not reflected on Ratan Tata's personal Financial Statement but on the various charitable organizations. and this is the reason why Ratan Tata is not in the list of Billionaire club.

If we put this 65% ownership of Tata Sons in Ratan TATA's own personal financial statement then Ratan Tata's Net worth can become more than $ 70 billion. and that's much more than the Warren Buffet's Current Net Worth of $ 62 billion, the world's richest person according to Forbes magazine
2008.

However, it doesn't mean that Ratan Tata is poor. In one interviews he had told the reporter that, "I have my own Capital". He is the chairman of Tata Group so obviously he earns lots of money every year as a bonus,remuneration and salary. However, Ratan Tata's Net worth is not $ 1
Billion.

He is not a billionaire on paper. but in reality he is the richest person of the world. His net worth in reality is more than Bill Gates and Warren Buffet.SO the good thing about Tata Group is that, They do Charity out of their Money...

And that is the reason TATA Group has generated so much of Goodwill over last 5 generations.

An elderly gent was invited to an old friend's home for dinner one evening.

He was impressed by the way his buddy preceded every request to his wife with endearing terms such as: Honey, My Love, Darling, Sweetheart, Pumpkin, etc.

The couple had been married almost 70 years and clearly, they were still very much in love.

While the wife was in the kitchen, the man leaned over and said to his host, 'I think it's wonderful that, after all these years, you still call your wife those loving pet names'

The old man hung his head. 'I have to tell you the truth,' he said, 'Her name slipped my mind about 10 years ago and I'm scared to death to ask her what it is!'

Warren Buffet's advice for 2009

We begin this New Year with dampened enthusiasm and dented optimism. Our happiness is diluted and our peace is threatened by the financial illness that has infected our families, organizations and nations. Everyone is desperate to find a remedy that will cure their financial illness and help them recover their financial health. They expect the financial experts to provide them with remedies, forgetting the fact that it is these experts who created this financial mess.

Every new year, I adopt a couple of old maxims as my beacons to guide my future. This self-prescribed therapy has ensured that with each passing year, I grow wiser and not older. This year, I invite you to tap into the financial wisdom of our elders along with me, and become financially wiser.

* Hard work: All hard work bring a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.

* Laziness: A sleeping lobster is carried away by the water current.

* Earnings: Never depend on a single source of income. [At least make your Investments get you second earning]

* Spending: If you buy things you don't need, you'll soon sell things you need.

* Savings: Don't save what is left after spending; Spend what is left after saving.

* Borrowings: The borrower becomes the lender's slave.

* Accounting: It's no use carrying an umbrella, if your shoes are leaking.

* Auditing: Beware of little expenses; A small leak can sink a large ship.

* Risk-taking: Never test the depth of the river with both feet. [ Have an alternate plan ready ]

* Investment: Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

I'm certain that those who have already been practicing these principles remain financially healthy. I'm equally confident that those who resolve to start practicing these principles will quickly regain their financial health.

Let us become wiser and lead a happy, healthy, prosperous and peaceful life.

Only if you believe...

Some Scientifically Proved Findings of the study Of Our Vedic Culture. Recently a programme was held, where these findings were explained by Dr. Gopalakrishnan [Indian Council of Science research], Dr. Sasikumar of ISRO Hydrebad and Anujan Bhattathiripad. The Instrument to measure the positive energy was first found by the Russians. The maps of the underground water lines were lost. They invented a device, two 'L' shaped rods which would deviate from each other if pointed towards an object that has positive energy. As flowing water has positive energy, it was easy for the Russians to find the water lines. So the government approved this as an authentic proof for measuring positive energy.

1.The effect of going to the Temple.
In the temple, the Sanctum sanctorum is completely enclosed on three sides.The effect of all energies is very high in here. The lamp that is lit radiates the heat and light energy. The ringing of the bells and the chanting of prayers gives the sound energy. The fragrance from the flowers,the burning of camphor and incense sticks give out the chemical energy.The effect of all these energies is activated by the positive energy that comes out of the idol. The water that is used for the pooja is called "holy water or Theertham" because it receives the positiveness of all these energies.When people go to the temple for the Deepaaraadhana, and the doors open up, the positive energy gushes out onto the people who are there.

The water that is sprinkled onto the people passes on the energy to all. That is the reason why, men are not allowed to wear shirts to the temple and ladies have to wear more ornaments because it is through these jewels (metal) that positive energy is absorbed in ladies. It is proved that Theertham is a very good blood purifier,as it is highly energised.Hence it is given as prasadam to the devotees.

2. Worship of Tulasi and Peepal Tree [aalmaram}
Tulasi should be worshipped by prostrating before it.As it is not tall the oxygen passed out from the plant, along with its positive energy, can be obtained only at the lower level. Whereas the Peepal tree should be worshipped by going around it, to get the full effect of the oxygen and the positive energy. The oxygen layer is very close to the leaves of the tree and as these leaves shake at the slightest breeze,it passes the energy more effectively. While going round the tree, our negative energy passes out of us through our right side and is absorbed by the tree and transformed into positive energy. This is passed on to us when we go around the tree.

3. Measuring the energy

.[This is measured with a pair of 'l'shaped rods held horizontally facing the object to be tested]

a. All flowers that are used in the temple for Pooja are proved to have positive energy.

b. Gingely oil [Nallennai] is proved to have more positive energy than other medium. Hence, best for lighting the lamp.

c. The fresh sandalwood paste given from the temple has more positive energy than the one, which is kept for a day or two.

d. The use of the traditional wick lamps is very effective in passing out the energy, as there is a regular movement for the flame. The energy is passed out through the waves of movement. So the lighting of electric lamp does not serve the purpose of passing the energy.

4. Aura and its Measurement.
There are various rings around us that form the aura of our body. The first is our 'SAREERA' OR THE BODY itself. The next is 'AATHMA' or the SOUL. The third is 'MANAS' or the MIND. The fourth is ' VIGNYANA' or KNOWLEDGE. And the last is 'AANANDAM' or HAPPINESS. This aura can be measured scientifically by the rods. A person's aura was measured and was found to be of one-foot radius. The same person was asked to chant prayers for a few minutes. Then, again, his aura was measured. The radius of the aura had increased by another foot and showed two feet. This proves the positive effect of prayers.

5. Aspects regarding sleep.

Normally children are found rolling a lot in their sleep.It is proved that they do so because their bodies can detect the positive energy even in sleep. When they roll they move to the place where there is positive Energy.If their cot is moved permanently to this place, they stop rolling. This is applicable to older people also.We are asked to sit and chant prayers before we go to bed and also chant them before getting up. It has been proved that 23% of the heart attacks occur when people lie down. This is because, a person who has been vertical the whole day suddenly lies down causing an irregularity in the heartbeats. So, to stabilise this,it is proved that sitting on the bed and chanting prayers for two minutes will be effective.And it has the same effect when done before getting up also.
It is proved that chanting 'Narayana naamam' 108 times comes to exactly two minutes.

6. Why is it considered a bad omen when a cat crosses our path when we go out?

Cat is an animal, which has only negative energy. When a cat crosses, it leaves behind, the negative energy in its path. So, when we cross this path, we are affected by the negative energy and will not succeed in our venture.

7. Any object's energy could be measured.
One such object is the cell phone. This is a thing with negative energy.This can be made positive. A picture of a God was placed on the cellphone,in such a way that the picture was facing the phone. The energy was still negative. Then the picture was turned and kept so that it faced the user.The energy immediately became positive. A small sticker of any God is sufficient to make it positive.

8. Aspects regarding energy in houses.
a. In the present living conditions,people mostly live in small houses or in flats. In such situations it is difficult to follow the 'VAASTHU SASHTRA'. It is proved that it is enough if the house has a pooja room.

This room will be able to cover the whole area of the house and harmonise the energy. Whereas in a big house the area is too much for just a small pooja room to harmonise the energy. In such cases the 'VAASTHU SASHTRA' should be followed.

b. Pictures of Gods or Goddesses,if kept in the entrance of the house, is proved to ward off all negative energy.

c. In a person's life of 60yrs, he spends nearly 20 years in bed.So the bedroom should be kept clean and bathroom must be kept closed always. This is because,we eliminate all our wastes in the bathroom.The wastes are full of negative energy. When the door is kept open,this negative energy passes out into the bedroom and affects the occupants.

d. Keeping a flower vase with plastic or artificial flowers in the corner of a room is equal to the garbage bin. It is proved that these flowers absorb all negative energies in the room caused due to arguments or ill thoughts. So, the flower vase with plastic flowers should not be kept in the centre of a room or on the dining table.This is a harmoniser of energies.Garbage bins are never kept in the centre of a room.

e. Chanting prayers in a group is very good for the house. It activates the positive energy and spreads to all parts of the house. If this is not possible, keeping tapes of devotional songs, melodious music and prayers will also give the same effect.
