B r e a k A w a y

Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray

Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I'd pray
I could break away

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly.
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky.
Make a wish, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away.
Out of the darkness and into the sun.
But I won't forget all the ones that I love.
I'll take a risk, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away

Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jetplane
Far away
And break away

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly.
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky.
Make a wish, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away.
Out of the darkness and into the sun.
But I won't forget all the ones that I love.
I'll take a risk, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away

Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging with revolving doors
Maybe I don’t know where they’ll take me
Gotta keep movin on movin on
Fly away
Break away

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly.
Though it’s not easy to tell you goodbye
Take a risk, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away.
Out of the darkness and into the sun.
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away
Breakaway
Break away

Hurrah!! its Friendship's day...

Happy Friendship Day...

“Yaaron dosti badi hi haseen hain..
ye na ho toh, kya phir, bolo ye zindagi hain..
koi to mera hain raazdaar,
begaraj mera hain wo yaar..”


Celebrating the day for those special people who missed becoming our siblings or relatives but where very much there for us, infact understanding us and accepting us more than our parents sometimes.

No certificate is issued when a Friendship is created between two minds, irrespective of the age, caste, religion, sex, location,,, take any factor but how far are we from becoming friends?

Personality Flow Chart

Hey Friends,
 
Traverse through this Flow Chart and see what you end up in.....

They were Different....

He Rescues The Birds

 

 Once, while riding through the country with some other lawyers, Abraham Lincoln was missed from the party, and was seen loitering near a thicket of wild plum trees where the men had

 

Stopped a short time before to water their horses.

 

" Where is Lincoln?" asked one of the lawyers.

 

 " When I saw him last," answered another, " he had caught two young birds that the wind had blown out of their nest, and was hunting for the nest to put them back again."

 

As Lincoln joined them, the lawyers rallied him on his tender-heartedness, and he said: --

 

" I could not have slept unless I had restored those little birds to their mother."

-----------------------------------

 

Growing Older

 

When the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was well along in years, his hair was white but he was still a vigorous man. Someone asked him why this was so.

 

The poet pointed to an apple tree in bloom and said, " That tree is very old, but I never saw prettier blossoms on it that it now bears. That tree grows new wood each year. Like that apple tree, I try to grow a little new wood each year ."

 

-----------------------------------

 

Be A Better Person

 

A Young student approached the famous French scientist and philosopher, Blaise Pascal, and declared, " If I had your brains, I would be a better person."

 

Pondering the depth of that statement, Pascal paused momentarily before replying, " Be a better person, and you will have my brains."

Hats Off to My Bombay !!!!

Dear Terrorist,

Even if you are not reading this we don't care. Time and again you tried to disturb us and disrupt our life - killing innocent civilians by planting bombs in Important Buildings, trains, buses and cars. You have tried hard to bring death and destruction, cause panic and fear and create communal disharmony but everytime you were disgustingly unsuccessful. Do you know how we pass our life in Mumbai? How much it takes for us to earn that single rupee? If you wanted to give us a shock then we are sorry to say that you failed miserably in your ulterior motives. Better look elsewhere, not here.

We are not Hindus and Muslims or Gujaratis or Marathis or Punjabis or Bengaliies nor do we distinguish ourselves as owners or workers, govt.employees or private employees. WE ARE MUMBAIKERS (Bombay-ites, if you like). We will not allow you to disrupt our life like this. On the last few occasions when you struck (including the 7 deadly blasts in a single day killing over 250 people and injuring 500+ in 1993), we went to work next
day in full strength. This time we cleared everything within a few hours and were back to normal - the vendors placing their next order, businessmen finalizing the next deals and the office workers rushing to catch the next train. (Yes the same train you targeted)

Fathom this: Within 3 hours of the blasts, long queues of blood donating volunteers were seen outside various hospitals, where most of the injured were admitted. By
12 midnight, the hospital had to issue a notification that blood banks were full and they didn't require any more blood. The next day, attendance at schools and office was close to 100%, trains & buses were packed to the brim, and the crowds were back.


The city has simply dusted itself off and moved one - perhaps with greater vigour.

We are Bombayites and we live like brothers in times like this----- N e v e r  L o s i n g  H o p e  :) So, do not dare to threaten us with your crackers. The spirit of Mumbai is very strong and can not be harmed.

With Love,
From the Proud People of Mumbai (
Bombay)

come lets make them brothers and sisters J

 

 

So wish you all A Hearty Best Of Luck ...

Self Appraisal- By Joyson

A little boy went into a drug store, reached for a soda carton and

pulled it over to the telephone.

He climbed onto the carton so that he could reach the buttons on the

phone and proceeded to punch in seven digits.

The store-owner observed and listened to the conversation:

The boy asked, "Lady, Can you give me the job of cutting your lawn?

The woman replied, "I already have someone to cut my lawn."

"Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price of the person who

cuts your lawn now." replied boy.

The woman responded that she was very satisfied with the person who

was presently cutting her lawn.

The little boy found more perseverance and offered, "Lady, I'll even

sweep your curb and your sidewalk, so on Sunday you will have the

prettiest lawn in all of North Palm beach, Florida."

Again the woman answered in the negative. With a smile on his face,

the little boy replaced the receiver.

The store-owner, who was listening to all this, walked over to the

boy and said,

"Son... I like your attitude; I like that positive spirit and would

like to offer you a job."

The little boy replied,

"No thanks, I was just checking my performance and the job I already have.

I am the one who is working for that lady, I was talking to."

HA HA HA!!!

The wife comes home early & finds her husband in their master bedroom making love to a beautiful, young lady!
 
"You unfaithful, disrespectful pig !!
What are you doing?
How dare you do this to me the faithful wife, the mother of your children !!
I'm leaving this house, I want divorce!"
 
The husband replies "Wait, Wait a minute! Before you leave, at least listen to what happened"
 
"Hmm, I don't know, well, it'll be the last thing I will hear from you. But make it fast, you unfaithful pig, you!"
 
The husband begins to tell his story …
 
“While driving home this young lady asked for a ride.
I saw her so defenseless that I went ahead and allowed her in my car.
I noticed that she was very thin, not well dressed and very dirty.
She mentioned that at she had not eaten for 3 days.
With great compassion I brought her home and warmed up the enchiladas that I made for you last night
that you wouldn't eat because you're afraid you'll gain weight; the poor thing practically devoured them.”
 
“Since she was very dirty I asked if she wanted to take a shower.
While she was showering, I noticed her clothes were dirty and full of holes so I threw her clothes away.
Since she needed clothes, I gave her the pair of jeans that you have had for a few years,
that you can no longer wear because they are too tight on you.
I also gave her the blouse that I gave you on our anniversary and you don't wear because I don't have good taste.”
 
“I gave her the pullover that my sister gave you for Christmas that you will not wear just to bother my sister
and I also gave her the boots that you bought at the expensive boutique
that you never wore again after you saw your co-worker wearing the same pair.”

The husband continues his story . . . . .

 
"The young woman was very grateful to me and I walked her to the door.
When we got to the door she turned around and with tears coming out of her eyes, she asks me:


























 
"Sir, do you have anything else that your wife does not use?"
