Little Joke on British Air Force

While stationed with the British Air Force, I found a memo typed on official letterhead. At the bottom of the letterhead was our motto: "Peace is our profession."

Beneath that, someone had added, "Bombing is only a hobby."

This is marketing!!!

# You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say, "I am very rich. Marry me!" That's Direct Marketing.

# You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl. One of your friends goes up to her and pointing at you says, "He's very rich. Marry him." That's Advertising.

# You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and get her telephone number. The next day you call and say, "Hi, I'm very rich. Marry me." That's Telemarketing.

# You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say, "I'm rich. Marry me" She gives you a nice hard slap on your face. That's Customer Feedback.

Computer: male or Female?

A Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine. ''House'' for instance, is feminine: ''la casa.''''Pencil,'' however, is masculine: "el lapiz.''

A student asked, "What gender is 'computer'?''

Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether ''computer'' should be a masculine or a feminine noun.

Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.


The men's group decided that ''computer'' should definitely be of the feminine gender (''la computer''), because:

1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;

2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;

3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and

4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.

The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine (''el computer''), because:

1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on and order them;

2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;

3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and

4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

Life mein bahot sikhi thi Java

Waited for the good project, par lagi na hawa

Inke na koi, project me tha naam

Inke bhi dil mein kuch aisi hi thi chaah

PM ne pucha, "Kabhi onsite Co-ordinator banne ka socha!"

Bas onsite jaaneka sunke, isne khaya bada carrot

1 saal rukne ke baad laga, bahot bada hua parrot

Bahot ho gaya kahke chodi hai isne umeed ki dori

Switch the job is the moral of the story

Jisne nahin seekha inse, life mein kaam na karna jyada

<<your company name>> mein milega bhaiyya, umeed se AADHAA

Silly, but really meaningful...

I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me. Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand with some water and held it before me, and said this: "You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love." This was how I saw it:

As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first cracks it find. This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love...they try to posses it, they demand, they expect... and just like the water spilling out of your hand, love will retrieve from you. For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature. If there is people you love, allow them to be free beings.

Give and don't expect.
Advise, but don't order.
Ask, but never demand.

It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice. It is the secret to true love. To truly practice it, you must sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an unconditional caring." Passing thought... My friend, Care for your love, as he/she is your life partner and especially a human being, Don't treat them like an asset as what to do & what not to do. Instead make them understand what’s good and what’s bad for them and make them realize the facts. Enjoy your love and make them feel special about you.
