President's Speech

Please read this article by giving 10 minutes from your busy life.really good....  

 The President of India DR. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam 's Speech in Hyderabad .

 Why is the media here so negative?

Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognize our own strengths, our achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success

stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why?

We are the first in milk production.

We are number one in Remote sensing satellites.

We are the second largest producer of wheat.

We are the second largest producer of rice.

Look at Dr. Sudarshan , he has transferred the tribal village into a self-sustaining, self-driving unit. There are millions of such achievements   but our media is only obsessed in the bad news and failures and disasters. I was in Tel Aviv once and I was reading the Israeli newspaper. It was the   day after a lot of attacks and bombardments and deaths had taken place. The Hamas had struck. But the front page of the newspaper had the picture of a   Jewish gentleman who in five years had transformed his desert into an orchid and a granary.   It was this inspiring picture that everyone woke up to. The gory details of killings, bombardments, deaths, were inside in the newspaper, buried among   other news.

 

In India we only read about death, sickness, terrorism, crime. Why are we so NEGATIVE? Another question: Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with

foreign things? We want foreign T. Vs, we want foreign shirts. We want foreign technology.

 

Why this obsession with everything imported. Do we not realize that self-respect comes with self-reliance? I was in Hyderabad giving this   lecture, when a 14 year old girl asked me for my autograph. I asked her what her goal in life is. She replied: I want to live in a developed India .   For her, you and I will have to build this developed India . You must proclaim. India is not an under-developed nation; it is a highly developed   nation. Do you have 10 minutes? Allow me to come back with a vengeance.

 

Got 10 minutes for your country? If yes, then read; otherwise, choice is yours.

YOU say that our government is inefficient.

YOU say that our laws are too old.

YOU say that the municipality does not pick up the garbage.

YOU say that the phones don't work, the railways are a joke,

The airline is the worst in the world, mails never reach their destination.

YOU say that our country has been fed to the dogs and is the absolute pits.

 

YOU say, say and say. What do YOU do about it?

Take a person on his way to Singapore . Give him a name - YOURS. Give him a face - YOURS. YOU walk out of the airport and you are at your International

best. In Singapore you don't throw cigarette butts on the roads or eat in the stores. YOU are as proud of their Underground links as they are. You

pay $5 (approx. Rs. 150) to drive through Orchard Road (equivalent of Mahim Causeway or Pedder Road) between 5 PM and 8 PM. YOU come back to the

parking lot to punch your parking ticket if you have over stayed in a restaurant or a shopping mall irrespective of your status identity... In

Singapore you don't say anything, DO YOU? YOU wouldn't dare to eat in public during Ramadan, in Dubai . YOU would not dare to go out without your

head covered in Jeddah. YOU would not dare to buy an employee of the telephone exchange in London at 10 pounds ( Rs.650) a month to, 'see to it

that my STD and ISD calls are billed to someone else.'YOU would not dare to speed beyond 55 mph (88 km/h) in Washington and then tell the traffic cop,

'Jaanta hai main kaun hoon (Do you know who I am?). I am so and so's son.

Take your two bucks and get lost.' YOU wouldn't chuck an empty coconut shell anywhere other than the garbage pail on the beaches in Australia and

New Zealand .

Why don't YOU spit Paan on the streets of Tokyo ? Why don't YOU use examination jockeys or buy fake certificates in Boston ??? We are still

talking of the same YOU. YOU who can respect and conform to a foreign system in other countries but cannot in your own. You who will throw papers

and cigarettes on the road the moment you touch Indian ground. If you can be an involved and appreciative citizen in an alien country, why cannot you

be the same here in India ?

 

Once in an interview, the famous Ex-municipal commissioner of Bombay , Mr. Tinaikar , had a point to make. 'Rich people's dogs are walked on the

streets to leave their affluent droppings all over the place,' he said. 'And then the same people turn around to criticize and blame the

authorities for inefficiency and dirty pavements. What do they expect the officers to do? Go down with a broom every time their dog feels the

pressure in his bowels?

In America every dog owner has to clean up after his pet has done the job. Same in Japan . Will the Indian citizen do that here?' He's right. We go to

the polls to choose a government and after that forfeit all responsibility. We sit back wanting to be pampered and expect the government to do

everything for us whilst our contribution is totally negative. We expect the government to clean up but we are not going to stop chucking garbage

all over the place nor are we going to stop to pick a up a stray piece of paper and throw it in the bin. We expect the railways to provide clean

bathrooms but we are not going to learn the proper use of bathrooms.

 

We want Indian Airlines and Air India to provide the best of food and toiletries but we are not going to stop pilfering at the least opportunity.

This applies even to the staff who is known not to pass on the service to the public. When it comes to burning social issues like those related to

women, dowry, girl child! and others, we make loud drawing room protestations and continue to do the reverse at home. Our excuse? 'It's the

whole system which has to change, how will it matter if I alone forego my sons' rights to a dowry.' So who's going to change the system?

What does a system consist of ? Very conveniently for us it consists of our neighbours, other households, other cities, other communities and the

government. But definitely not me and YOU. When it comes to us actually making a positive contribution to the system we lock ourselves along with

our families into a safe cocoon and look into the distance at countries far away and wait for a Mr.Clean to come along & work miracles for us with a

majestic sweep of his hand or we leave the country and run away.

Like lazy cowards hounded by our fears we run to America to bask in their glory and praise their system. When New York becomes insecure we run to

England . When England experiences unemployment, we take the next flight out to the Gulf. When the Gulf is war struck, we demand to be rescued and

brought home by the Indian government. Everybody is out to abuse and rape the country. Nobody thinks of feeding the system. Our conscience is

mortgaged to money.

 

Dear Indians, The article is highly thought inductive, calls for a great deal of introspection and pricks one's conscience too.... I am echoing J.

F. Kennedy 's words to his fellow Americans to relate to Indians.....

 

'ASK WHAT WE CAN DO FOR INDIA

AND DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE TO MAKE INDIA

WHAT AMERICA AND OTHER WESTERN COUNTRIES ARE TODAY'

 

Lets do what India needs from us.

 

Forward this mail to each Indian for a change instead of sending Jokes or

junk mails.

 

Thank you,

 

Dr. Abdul Kalaam

Autobiography of Software engineer ... Good one : Must read...

Look at the imagination and flow of the story. It never takes your mind away
till you complete reading this........


There was a contest in TCS to write a fictional story for 500 words max which
would start with the line " On a dark and foggy night, a small figure lay
huddled on the railway tracks leading to the Chennai station "

This is what a guy wrote for the contest....... and surprisingly, it was
adjudged the best short story:))

On a dark and foggy night, a small figure lay huddled on the railway tracks
leading to the Hyderabad station. At once I was held back to see someone in
that position during midnight with no one around. With curiosity taking the
front seat, I went near the body and tried to investigate it. There was blood
all over the body which was lying face down. It seemed that a ruthless blow
by the last train could have caused the end of this body which seemed to be
that of a guy of around my age. Amidst the gory blood flow, I could see a
folded white envelope which was fluttering in the midnight wind. Carefully I
took the blood stained envelope and was surprised to see the phrase
"appraisal letter" on it. With curiosity rising every moment, I wasted no
time in opening the envelope to see if I can find some details about the dead
guy. The tag around the body's neck and the jazzy appraisal cover gave me the
hint that he might be a software engineer. I opened the envelope to find a
shining paper on which the appraisal details where typed in flying colors.
Thunders broke into my ears and lightening struck my heart when I saw the
appraisal amount of the dead guy!!!!! My God, it was not even, as much as the
cost of the letter on which the appraisal details were printed.... My heart
poured out for the guy and huge calls were heard inside my mind saying "no
wonder, this guy died such a miserable death"...  As a fellow worker in the
same industry, I thought I should mourn for him for the sake of respect and
stood there with a heavy heart thinking of the shock that he would have
experienced when his manager had placed the appraisal letter in his hand. I
am sure his heart would have stopped and eyes would have gone blank for few
seconds looking at the near to nothing increment in his salary.

While I mourned for him, for a second my hands froze to see the employee's
name in the appraisal letter... hey, what a strange co-incidence, this guy's
name is same as mine, including the initials. This was interesting. With some
mental strength, I turned the body upside down and found myself fainted for a
second. The guy not only had my name, but also looked exactly like me. Same
looks, same built, same name.... it was me who was dead there!!!!!!!! While I
was lost in that shock, I felt someone patting on my shoulders. My heart
stopped completely, I could not breathe and sprung in fear to see who was
behind......... splash!!! Went the glass of water on my laptop screen as I
came out of my wild dream to see my manager standing behind my chair patting
on my shoulder saying, "wake up man? Come to meeting room number two. I have
your appraisal letter ready".

Housing Market Heats Up Again in New York City

Housing Market Heats Up Again in New York City

John Marshall Mantel for The New York Times

Turnouts for open houses in Manhattan are large, like this one on the Upper East Side. Wall Street bonuses have added to the 2007 boom.

Published: February 19, 2007

Since the new year began, a burst of activity has broken out in Manhattan and several Brooklyn neighborhoods as New Yorkers frenetically hunt for co-ops, condominiums and town houses, sending prices higher despite sluggish sales in many other cities.

Preliminary indications from real estate firms showed that this increased activity, with open houses jammed and bidding wars taking place, has occurred in all price ranges — from tiny studios in the East Village to red-brick mansions on the Upper East Side — in counterpoint to the heavily weighted record sales of luxury properties that led the market in the late summer and fall.

Real estate brokers and statisticians are quick to point out that not every single apartment is flying into contract. During the last quarter of 2006, the major real estate agencies differed on which way prices were headed.

But now, the three largest real estate companies in the city agree: for January, at least, both prices and the number of signed contracts rose in double-digit percentages compared with the same month in 2006.

With higher Wall Street bonuses, a strong regional economy and pent-up demand from New Yorkers who were once worried that the city's real estate market would crash, buyers' attitudes have done an about-face. "Their psychology has changed," said Frederick W. Peters, the president of the Warburg Realty Partnership. "For almost two years, they've been scared that the market would plummet and they'd end up like fools who paid too much."

Real estate experts say they see no reason for the trend to not continue, with economists predicting stable mortgage rates and a continuing city budget surplus. However, other factors may alter New Yorkers' renewed interest in buying real estate, including an expansion of the Iraq war, a changing employment picture or another terrorist attack.

Yet, there is "cautious exuberance," according to Steven L. James, director of Manhattan sales for Prudential Douglas Elliman.

A week ago, one open house attracted 100 people to an Upper West Side one-bedroom; a $2.475 million house in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn sold in a day.

Across the board, the prices of Manhattan apartments are rising. Jonathan Miller, the president of Miller Samuel, an appraisal firm, said the number of contracts signed this January was 19.4 percent higher than in January 2006. Prices were up 14.4 percent in the same time period. Inventory, which was mounting last summer, is shrinking fast.

Now, according to Mr. Miller, statistics showed that sales of studio and one-bedroom units, stagnant over the past year, were up 13.7 percent in January. "It's not like a lot of huge sales at the high end skewed the average up."

According to a report released last week by the National Association of Realtors, prices are falling in many other metropolitan areas around the country. The report covered only the last quarter of 2006, and showed a modest increase of 3.1 percent for the New York area, which includes parts of northern New Jersey.

Anecdotally, there isn't much talk of falling prices in Manhattan and in the most sought-after neighborhoods in Brooklyn, where young people looking for a break, empty nesters looking for a guest room and foreigners looking for a pied-à-terre say they want to live.

Katalin Shavely, a 30-year-old bedding designer in Manhattan, devotes her weekends to scanning the classifieds and attending open houses, searching for just the right one-bedroom apartment for less than $750,000. She can't find it. "I made a mistake," she said last week. "I should have started looking before Thanksgiving."

Mr. Miller said New Yorkers had been reluctant to buy because of the feeling of an impending crash. "Last summer, a lot of information was being dumped on the consumer: stories about the glut of condos in Miami, Washington, D.C., and Las Vegas, exacerbated by the constant debate on the blogosphere about housing bubbles, mixed together with a barrage of negative predictions," he said in a telephone interview.

Although no one can pinpoint the moment when New Yorkers started feverishly buying again, Kirk Henckels, the director of the private brokerage division of Stribling & Associates, said he thought the luxury market picked up after Labor Day.

He and others said the resurgence was partly fueled by the fall's record-setting (and well-publicized) sales of a few multimillion-dollar apartments and town houses, like the Stanford White limestone palazzo at 25 East 78th Street bought by Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg for $45 million and the Harkness mansion at 4 East 75th Street sold in October for $53 million.

Then came this year's stratospheric Wall Street bonuses, and the market exploded, real estate executives said.

why '1' iz 'one' and '2' iz 'two' etc??

The numbers we all use (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) are known as "arabic" numbers to distinguish them from the " Roman Numerals" (I, II, III, IV, V, VI, etc). Actually the arabs popularized these numbers but they were originally used by the early phonecian traders to count and keep track of their trading accounts.

Have you ever thought why .......... 1 means "one", and 2 means "two"? The roman numerals are easy to understand but what was the logic behind the phonecian numbers?

 

It's all about angles !

It's the number of angles. If one writes the numbers down (see below) on a piece of paper in their older forms, one quickly sees why. I have marked the angles with "o"s.
No 1 has one angle.
No 2 has two angles.
No 3 has three angles.
etc.

and "O" has no angles

Interesting, isn't it?
An ancient phonecian manuscript explains this and I thought it to be fascinating.

A True Love story : Moral of the story Don't cheat

Read this in full Please



A certain rich businessman had a beautiful daughter, who fell in
love with a guy who was a cleaner.

When the girl's father came to know about their love, he did not like it
at all, and so began to protest about it.

Now it happened that the two lovers decided to leave their homes for a
happy future.
The girl's father started searching for the two lovers
but could not find them.

At last, he accepted their love and asked them to come back home thru a
local newspaper. Her father said
"If you both come back I will allow you to marry the guy you love,
I accept that you loved each other truly."

So in this way, their love won and they returned home.
The couple next day went to town to shop for the wedding dress. He was
dressed in a white shirt that day. While he was crossing the road to the
other side to get some drinks for his wife,
a car came and hit him and he died on the spot.
The girl was devastated and lost her senses.
It was only after sometime that she recovered from her shock.

The funeral and cremation was the very next day because he had died
horribly.

Two nights later, the girl's mother had a dream in which she saw an old
lady. The old lady asked her mother to wash the blood stains of the guy
from her daughter's dress as soon as possible.
But her mother ignored the dream.

The next night her father had the same dream, he also ignored it.
Then the girl had the same dream the next night, she woke up in fear and
told her mother about the dream.
Her mother asked her to wash the clothes with the blood stains
immediately.

She washed the stains but some remained. Next night she again had the
same dream. She again washed the stains but some still remained.

But again the next night she had the same dream and this time the old
lady gave her a last warning to wash the blood stain, or else something
terrible would happen.
This time the girl tried her best to wash the stains, and the
clothes nearly tore, but some stains still remained.

She was very tired.

In the late evening the same day while she was alone at home, someone
knocked on the door.
When she opened the door she saw the same old lady of
her dream standing at her door.
She got very scared and fainted.

The old lady woke her up... and gave her a blue object, which shocked
the girl.
She asked "What is this...?" The old lady replied...


"This is Nirma Washing Powder"
"Washing powder nirma,Washing powder nirma
Doodh si safedi nirma se aaye,
Rangeen kapde bhi khil khil jaye,
sabki pasand nirama
Washing powder nirma,Washing powder nirma.Nirma"
10 ka 1, do pe ek free


I know how you all are feeling now...
I have been through this too.

True story from IIT Bombay...Batch 1992-96
 

a nice one....dont miss...read in ur free time...

This is a true story of a young college girl who passed away last month. Her name was Priya. She was hit by a lorry. She has a boy friend named Shankar. Both of them are true lovers. They always hang on the phone. You can never see her without her handphone. In fact she also changed her phone from Airtel to Hutch, so both of them can be on the same network, and save on the cost.

She spends half of the day talking with shankar. Priya's family knows about their relationship. Shankar is very close with Priya's family. (just imagine their love) . Before she passed away she always told her friends "If I pass away please burn me with my handphone" she also said the same thing to her parents.

After her death, people cant carry her coffin, I was there. A lot of them tried to do so but still cant , everybody including me, had tried to carry the coffin, the result is still the same. Eventually, they called their neighbour, a "bomoh" from Thailand (pak Darin), who is a friend of her father. He took a stick and started speaking to himself slowly. After a few minutes, he said "this girl misses something here". then her friends told Darin about her intentions to burn her with her phone. He then opened the coffin and place her phone and SIM card inside the casket. after that they tried to carry the coffin. It could be moved and they carried it into the van easily. All of us were shocked. (can u feel the fear. I'm shaking at this moment)

Priya's parents did not inform Shankar that Priya had passed away. After 2 weeks Shankar called Priya's mom. Shankar :...."Atte, I'm coming home today. Cook something nice for me. Dont tell Priya that I'm coming home today, i wanna surprise her." Her mother replied....."You come home first, i wanna tell you something very important." after he came, they told him the truth about Priya.

Shankar thinks that they were playing a fool. He was laughing and said "dont try to fool me - tell Priya to come out, i have a gift for her Please stop this nonsense". then they show him the original death certificate to him. They gave him proof to make him believe. (Shankar started to sweat) ..

He said... "Its not true. we spoke yesterday. She still calls me. Shankar was shaking. Suddenly, Shankar's phone rang. "see this is from Priya, see this..." he showed the phone to priya's family. all of them told him to answer.he talked using the loudspeaker mode. all of them heard his conversation.

Loud and clear, no cross lines, no humming. It is the actual voice of Priya & there is no way others could use her SIM card since it is nailed inside the coffin they were so shocked and asked for pak Darin's help again. pak Darin brought his master (tok Chen) to solve this matter. He & Darin worked for 5 hours. Then they discovered one thing...

Warm Water and Heart Attack

Warm Water and Heart Attack

 Nice to know.

 

This is a very good article. Not only about the warm water after your meal, but about heart attacks. This makes sense.. the Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals...not cold water...maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!!

Nothing to lose, everything to gain...

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will
slow down the digestion. Once this "sludge" reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

A serious note about heart attacks: You should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.

You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up.
Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive...

A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to 10people, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life !

Weekend Reading : 7 Principles of an Eagle

*7 Principles of an Eagle*


*Principle 1*

*Eagles fly alone at high altitude and not with sparrows or with other small
birds. No other bird can go to the height of the eagle. They stay away from
sparrows and ravens. *

*Eagles fly with eagles.*

*Principle 2*

*Eagles have strong vision. They have the ability to focus on something up to
five kilometers away.  When an  eagle sites   his  prey, he narrows his focus
on it and sets out to  get it.*

*No matter what the obstacle, the eagle will not move his focus from the prey
until he grabs it.*

*Have a vision and remain focused no matter what the obstacle and you will
succeed.*

*Principle 3*

*Eagles do not eat dead things. They feed only on fresh prey. Vultures eat
dead animals, but eagles will not. *

*Be careful with what you feed your eyes and ears with, especially in movies
and on TV. Steer clear of outdated and old information. Always do your
research well.*

*Principle 4*

*Eagles love the storm. When clouds gather, the eagles get excited. The eagle
uses the storm's winds to lift it higher. Once it finds the wing of the
storm, the eagle uses the raging storm to lift him above the clouds. This
gives the eagle an opportunity to glide and rest its wings. In the meantime
all the other birds hide in the leaves and branches of the trees.*

*We can use the storms of life to rise to greater heights.*
*Achievers relish challenges and use them profitably**.*

*Principle 5*

*The Eagle tests before it trusts. When a female eagle meets a male and they
want to mate, she flies down to earth with the male pursuing her and she
picks a twig. She flies back into the air with the male pursuing her. Once
she has reached a height high enough for her, she lets the twig fall to the
ground and watches it as it falls. The male chases after the twig. The faster
it falls, the faster he chases it. He has to catch it before it falls to the
ground. He then brings it back to the female eagle.*

*The female eagle grabs the twig and flies to a higher altitude and then
drops the twig for the male to chase.  This goes on for hours, with the
height increasing until the female eagle is assured that the male eagle has
mastered the art of catching the twig which shows commitment. Then and only
then, will she allow him to mate with her. *

*Whether in private life or in business, one should test commitment of people
intended for partnership**.*

*Principle 6*

*When ready to lay eggs, the female and male eagle identify a place very high
on a cliff where no predators can reach. The male flies to earth and picks
thorns and lays them on the crevice of the cliff, then flies to  earth again
to collect twigs which he lays in the intended nest. He flies back to earth
and picks thorns laying them on top of the twigs. He flies back to earth and
picks soft grass to cover the thorns. When this first layering  is complete
the male eagle runs back to earth and picks more thorns, lays  them on the
nest; runs back to get grass to lay it on top of the thorns, then plucks his
feathers to complete the nest. The thorns on the outside of the nest protect
it from possible intruders. Both male and female eagles participate in
raising the eagle family. She lays the eggs and protects them; he builds the
nest and hunts. During the time of training the young ones to fly, the mother
eagle throws the eaglets out of the nest. Because they are scared, they jump
into the nest again. Next, she throws them out and then takes off the soft
layers of the nest, leaving the thorns bare.*


*When the scared eaglets again jump into the nest, they are pricked by
thorns. Shrieking and bleeding they jump out again this time wondering why
the mother and father who love them so much are torturing them. Next, mother
eagle pushes them off the cliff into the air. As they shriek in fear, father
eagle flies out and catches them up on his back before they fall and brings
them back to the cliff. This goes on for sometime until they start flapping
their wings. They get excited at this newfound knowledge that they can fly.*

*The preparation of the nest teaches us to prepare for changes; The
preparation for the family teaches us that active participation of both
partners leads to success; being pricked by the thorns tells us that
sometimes being too comfortable where we are may result into our not
experiencing life, not progressing and not learning at all. The thorns of
life come to teach us that we need to grow, get out of the nest and live on.
We may not know it but the seemingly comfortable and safe haven may have
thorns.*

*The people who love us do not let us languish in sloth but push us hard to
grow and prosper. Even in their seemingly bad actions they have good
intentions for us.*

*Principle 7*

*When an Eagle grows old, his feathers become weak and cannot take him as
fast as he should. When he feels weak and about to die, he retires to a place
far away in the rocks. While there, he plucks out every feather on his body
until he is completely bare. He stays in this hiding place until he has grown
new feathers, then he can come out.*

*We occasionally need to shed off old habits & items that burden us without
adding to our lives..*

Hand in Hand is currently involved in implementing an Integrated Community Development Project for poverty reduction with five interconnected and interdependent sectors:

• Child Labour
• SHGs and Microfinance
• Citizens' Centres
• Health
• Environment

Hand in Hand is currently active in nine districts in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, namely: Kancheepuram, Vellore, Villupuram, Thiruvannamalai, Thiruvallur, Cuddalore, Salem, Namakkal, and Thiruvarur, as well as in Pondicherry.

The organisation is dedicated to the development of disadvantaged groups, and especially rural and tribal families, through grassroots action, research, and education. We envisage an integrated strategy to address the challenges of poverty and underdevelopment. It aims at building self-reliance of disadvantaged groups by alleviating poverty through sustained income generating programmes. Hand in Hand complements the development efforts by producing and disseminating knowledge about various development contexts, issues, and approaches through research and documentation. Additionally, the organisation extends and sustains development through capacity building of the practitioners.

At present, Hand in Hand receives funding from our support organisation Hand in Hand Sweden as well as from the Government of Tamil Nadu and the Government of India. Although their assistance has been critical for our operations, as our activities and sphere of work have grown significantly in the last two years, we are, however, now in need of major institutional support and funding. We look forward to your support and cooperation in helping us reach out and transform the lives of the thousands of people that we are supporting.

With the expansion of Self Help Groups (SHGs) and the increasing demand for microcredits and related services, two organisations have been set up: the Socio Economic and Education Development (SEED) Trust as well as Hand in Hand Micro Finance Ltd.

Vision

Hand in Hand's vision is to eradicate child labour and reduce poverty with a focus on education, employment, income generation, and empowerment.

Mission

Hand in Hand is committed to the eradication of child and bonded labour by mainstreaming deprived children into regular schools. We also work for the empowerment of women by creating micro enterprises and by promoting income generating activities and "jobs for growth". Additionally, Hand in Hand focuses on strengthening grassroots democracy by setting up Citizens Centres. Finally, we promote health and hygiene among rural populations, as well as work to protect the local environment via watershed projects and solid waste management interventions. All these projects are implemented through the Integrated Community Development Project.

Guiding principles

All of our activities are guided by the following principles:

• Pro-poor and a bottom-up approach
• Participatory learning
• Mainstreaming gender in all activities
• Transparency and accountability in all actions
• Working in coordination with local institutions

Which is better

Just think which is better?

Dad used to give us a measly Rs. 20/- per month, in that we were not only
able to eat stomachs fill, but we were able to save too!!!
Now we earn a sum of 20K, we have no idea where it goes, let alone saving
it!!
Which was better, the former or the latter???

6 subjects per year, 6 different teachers!
One project since we joined and just one manager!!
Which was better, the former or the latter???

We used to make notes; we used to study for ranks!!
Now we scan thru our mails; we struggle for our ratings!!!
Which was better, the former or the latter???

We have still not forgotten the people in the next section!!!
Now we don't even know who sits in the next cubicle!!!
Which was better, the former or the latter???

After getting back from a tiring play, we used to do our home work!!
Now who knows/cares about home; all we do is just work!!!
Which was better, the former or the latter???

We knew our history and economics!!
Now let alone reading books, we don't even catch up with the daily news!!!
Which was better, the former or the latter???

We had an aim in life; behind our backs we had our teachers!!
Now we have no idea about the future nor do we find any one who would tell us
anything!!!
Now just ask yourself, which was better, the former or the latter???

Did you know that Birth Numbers reveal your love capability...?

Did you know that Birth Numbers reveal your love capability?

By Pt. Vvidhushekhor Pandey

How good a lover are you? Adventurous. Passionate. Or Caring? To know about
how well you gel with your love, read what your Birth Number reveals.!


Date of Birth
Birth Number
1st, 10th, 19th, 28th    1
2nd, 11th, 20th, 29th    2
3rd, 12th, 21st, 30th    3
4th, 13th, 22nd, 31st    4
5th, 14th, 23rd  5
6th, 15th, 24th  6
7th, 16th, 25th  7
8th, 17th, 26th  8
9th, 18th, 27th  9

Birth Number 1:
You are single-minded in ways of achieving satisfaction. Even though you're
always on the lookout for making your love life interesting, love is like a
conquest for you. It gives you a kick to either conquer your lover or just
succumb to your partner's passions.

Straightforward sex with no messing around is your idea of making love. You
must learn to make love while making your partner happy too.
Tips: Present white or yellow-coloured gifts to your dear ones to improve the
relationship.

Birth Number 2:
You like to plan everything in advance and would like to know what, where,
when and how you'll make love. As a lover you're very caring, pleasing and
considerate. Foreplay for you means a lot of kisses and hugs, as you need to
feel nurtured and protected. You make a fairly sensual love partner!
Tips: Present yellow or pink-coloured gifts to your dear ones to improve the
relationship.

Birth Number 3:
You ooze over-confidence and this makes your lover feel good with you. As
you're quite uninhibited in love, you might make your lover blush. Your sense
of humour and light-heartedness helps in removing your partner's
insecurities. In foreplay, you may like to play hide-and-seek games and adopt
funny positions. Inventing ingenious ideas and being spontaneous is a must
for you to keep your sex life alive and kicking. You can be nominated for the
best lover award!
Tips: Present pink or purple-coloured gifts to your dear ones to improve the
relationship.

Birth Number 4:
You often feel that your love life is a struggle and try to put a lot of
effort to make it work. You take time to understand the passions of your
partner and often delay love-making a lot. Befriending your partner forms an
important part of the 'love-making' package. Your passions may not be aroused
unless you feel secure about it. But once this is attained, you would like to
take it head on and satisfy your lover many times over. Foreplay, for you
means tried and tested ways to get turned on. Be less sophisticated and more
passionate!
Tips: Present yellow, golden or brown-coloured gifts to your dear ones to
improve the relationship.

Birth Number 5:
You are adventurous and fond of constant thrills and excitement in real life.
And that's what you're in your love life too. You like to try out all kinds
of available varieties to let your relationship prosper. As you relish
spontananeity, you don't like lovers who are slow and fixed in method and
attitude. Sexually, new places and positions keep you mentally and physically
pleased. Foreplay for you means creating an environment or even buying
sensuous foods and sexy lingerie to arouse you. You start feeling bottled if
your lover cannot provide constant variety. Even though change is the only
constant thing in life you must avoid frequent changes that might trouble
your mate.
Tips: Present light blue or green-coloured gifts to your dear ones to improve
the relationship.

Birth Number 6:
Romance, love and carnal desire don't mean different things to you. Sensuous
music, aromatic candles, subtle light settings create the perfect atmosphere
to fan your flames of love. Even though style and comfort are important for
you, equally vital is the indulgence of carnal desires with your lover. Long
sessions of foreplay form a very significant part of the love-making plan.
Kissing is one of your greatest pleasures, and you purr with excitement as
you're kissed from head to toe. You are a slow and steady fellow and are sure
to win in the game of love-making.
Tips: Present white, pink or blue-coloured gifts to your dear ones to improve
the relationship.

Birth Number 7:
You are dreamy, imaginative and romantic, when in love. You are sensitive and
look for love that connects you both spiritually and emotionally. Being
philosophical, most of you develop a sense of detachment that may result in
having part-time lovers who come and go, giving you space. Foreplay is rare
for you. You follow your sexual urges and let them lead you to the act. Many
times you have a detached and clinical approach to sex. You must feel free to
express your passions.
Tips: Present magenta, orange or white-coloured gifts to your dear ones to
improve the relationship.

Birth Number 8:
You're an enigmatic lover. You're either very active or totally passive. Love
to you is a power game very often and you would like to have a sub-conscious
control over your lover. Due to your paradoxical nature, you either like
seducing or love to be seduced. You're open to try any method in foreplay, in
fact anything that could fire you up. As satisfaction is the ultimate aim,
you may go on all night to get exactly what you want! Keep it up.
Tips: Present blue or black-coloured gifts to your dear ones to improve the
relationship.

Birth Number 9:
You're an explosive lover - the passionate one. Even though you like it
really hot, you're generous enough to fulfill your lover's demands. Foreplay
to you means creating an erotic ambience which turns you on, talking
provocative words and making plenty of eye contact. You plan like a manager
and discuss like a student with your lover, strategies you're going to use
during your love-making sessions. You make a very sophisticated lover.
Tips: Present red or maroon-coloured gifts to your dear ones to improve the
relationship.
