What is your COMPUTER!!!
'House' for instance, is feminine: 'la casa.
''Pencil,' however, is masculine: 'el lapiz.
'So, a student asked, 'What gender is 'computer'?
'Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class intotwo 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 Computadora'), because:
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;
2. The native language they use to communicate with othercomputers is incomprehensible to everyone else;
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory forpossible later retrieval;
and4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.
(THIS GETS BETTER!)
The women's group, however, concluded that computers should beMasculine ('el computador'), because:
1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;
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 thetime they ARE the problem;
and4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you hadwaited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.
Now what do you think the computer should be called?

With reference to the meeting held between us on the 13th of Oct. at 1500 hrs, would like to present myself as a prospective lover.
Our love affair would be on probation for a period of three months and depending on compatibility, would be made permanent. Of course, upon completion of probation, there will be continuous on the job training and performance appraisal schemes leading up to promotion from lover to spouse.
The expenses incurred for coffee and entertainment would initially be shared equally between us. Later, based on your performance, I might take up a larger share of the expenses. However I am broadminded enough to be taken care of, on your expense account.
I request you to kindly respond within 30 days of receiving this letter, failing which, this offer would be cancelled without further notice and I shall be considering someone else.
I would be happy, if you could forward this letter to your sister, if you do not wish to take up this offer.

HR Manager
The Plot is too good to Miss!! Do Read it!!
At the 1994 annual awards dinner given for Forensic Science, AAFS, and President Dr. Ron Harper Mills astounded his audience with the legal complications of a bizarre death
Here is the story:
On March 23, 1994 the medical examiner viewed the body of Ronald Opus and concluded that he died from a shotgun wound to the head. Mr. Opus had jumped from the top of a ten story building intending to commit suicide. He left a note to that effect, indicating his despondency.
As he fell past the ninth floor his life was interrupted by a shotgun blast passing through a window which killed him instantly. Neither the shooter nor the descendent were aware that a safety net had been installed just below at the eighth floor level to protect some building workers and that Ronald Opus would not have been able to complete his suicide the way he had planned.
"Ordinarily," Dr. Mills continued, "a person who sets out to commit suicide and ultimately succeeds, even though the mechanism might not be what he intended, is still defined as committing suicide."
That Mr.Opus was shot on the way to certain death, but probably would not have been successful because of the safety net, caused the medical examiner to feel that he had a homicide on his hands. The room on the ninth floor, whence the shotgun blast emanated, was occupied by a elderly man and his wife. They were arguing vigorously and he was threatening her with a shotgun. The man was so upset that when he pulled the trigger he completely missed his wife and the pellets went through the window, striking Mr Opus. When one intends to kill subject A but kills subject B in the attempt, one is guilty of the murder of subject B.
When confronted with the murder charge the old man and his wife were both adamant. They both said they thought the shotgun was unloaded. The old man said it was his long-standing habit to threaten his wife with the unloaded shotgun. He had no intention to murder her. Therefore the killing of Mr. Opus appeared to be an accident; that is, the gun had been accidentally loaded.
The continuing investigation turned up a witness who saw the old couple's son loading the shotgun about six weeks prior to the fatal accident. It transpired that the old lady had cut off her son's financial support and the son, knowing the propensity of his father to use the shotgun threateningly, loaded the gun with the exactation that his father would shoot his mother.
The case now becomes one of murder on the part of the son, for the death of Ronald Opus. Now comes the exquisite twist. Further investigation revealed that the son was, in fact, Ronald Opus. He had become increasingly despondent over the failure of his attempt to engineer his mother's murder. This led him to jump off the ten-story building on March 23rd, only to be killed by a shotgun blast passing through the ninth story window.
The son had actually murdered himself so the medical examiner closed the case as a suicide.

Honorable MEN!!!...
If a female is reading this article then just realize the value of a man; If it's a male then feel proud of after reading it! :)
"One day, while a woodcutter was cutting a branch of a tree above a river, his axe fell into the river. When he cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, "Why are you crying?"
The woodcutter replied that his axe has fallen into water, and he needed the axe to make his living.
The Lord went down into the water and reappeared with a golden axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked. The woodcutter replied, "No."
The Lord again went down and came up with a silver Axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked. Again, the woodcutter replied, "No."
The Lord went down again and came up with an iron Axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked. The woodcutter replied, "Yes."
The Lord was pleased with the man's honesty and gave him all three axes to keep, and the woodcutter went home happy.
Some time later the woodcutter was walking with his wife along the riverbank, and his wife fell into the river. When he cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked him, "Why are you crying?"
"Oh Lord, my wife has fallen into the water!"
The Lord went down into the water and came up with Mallika Sherawat."Is this your wife?" the Lord asked.
"Yes," cried the woodcutter.
The Lord was furious. "You lied! That is an untruth!"
The woodcutter replied, "Oh, forgive me, my Lord. It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I had said 'no' to Mallika Sherawat, You would have come up with Bipasha Basu. Then if I said 'no' to her, you would have come up with my wife. Had I then said 'yes,' you would have given me all three. Lord, I am a poor man, and am not able to take care of all three wives, so THAT'S why I said yes to Mallika Sherawat."
The moral of this story is: Whenever a man lies, it is
for a good and honorable reason, and for the benefit of others.
That's our story, and we're sticking to it! "WE HONORABLE MEN!!!!!!"

Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Jindagi (Modified By A Software Engineer for a Software Engineer)
Ting Ding.. Ting Ding.. Ting Ding Ding....
Kabhi kabhi aditi zindagi mein yuhi coding karna padta hai,
Kabhi kabhi aditi wo, code naa chale to ek sapna lagta hai,
Aise mein koi kaise apne fingers ko chalane se roke?
Aur kaise koi soch le everything's gonna be ok?
Kabhi kabhi to lage zindagi mein rahi naa bench aur mastiyan,
Kabhi kabhi to lage har din mushkil aur har pal ek sazaa,
Aise mein koi kaise, code karaaye, kaise ghar nikle khush hoke?
Aur kaise koi soch le everythings gonna be ok?
Soch zara jaane jaa coding ko hum kitna kostey hai,
Rote hai hum bhi agar teri screen pe koi code ko dekhte hain,
Coding to aata nahi hai magar phir bhi hum karte hai,
Ki aditi maan kabhi ,kabhi saare jahan mein code fail bhi hota hai,
Lekin coding ke baad hi, to appraisal hota hai.. รจ(too good…)
Kabhi kabhi aditi zindagi mein yuhi coding karna padta hai,
Kabhi kabhi aditi wo, code naa chale to ek sapna lagta hai,
Hey aditi hass de, hass de, hass de, hass de, hass de, hass de tu zara,
Nahi to bass thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda muskura..
Tu khush hai to lage ki jahan ki coding ho gayi,
CEO nikle office se ,aur baantten salary,
Sun to zara madhosh hawa tujhse kehne lagi,
Ki aditi wo jo code karte ek naa ek din, phir bhool jaate hain,
Aditi, jaane tu ya jaane naa, coding phir bhi kar paate hai..
Kabhi kabhi aditi zindagi mein yuhi coding karna padta hai,
Kabhi kabhi aditi wo code naa chale to ek sapna lagta hai,
Hey aditi hass de, hass de, hass de, hass de, hass de, hass de tu zara,

Brotherhood & Empathy...
That, my friend, may be categorized as ignorance, unempathetic behaviour... wonder! where does it come from? Are all people that selfish, to such an extent that we are blind to so many intricate, delicate and beautiful things in the world, that we are shielded from all the suffering and the pain in the world? And if you are reading this and have the opportunity to read this, you are for sure mostly well off than a very big majority of the population around us. When we were children there was no such segregation of the society which suddenly crops up when we grow up and become mature. Lets look at it from an outsiders perspective, we behave in a more immature manner, the more we grow old and are supposed to be mature...
The truth may be far from being blind or shielded, it may be, and to some extent it is that we have grown accustomed to seeing all this for a long time. From a time we were kids when we could do nothing about it till date when we don't want, bother or simply don't have time to look any more... and here's a paradox, we still look but not look at such things with a similar indifference, as if we still cannot influence anything around us, as if we still cannot do anything about the things happening around us.
Some wise man has very rightly said:
"Charity begins at home"
and that is as true today as it was in the past and so it would be in the times to come. Since childhood there was so many things we have always wanted to do and so many things that we never could and possibly, one among them was a innate and burning desire to help people around us. So if we were resourceful enough, or were taught to be helpful since childhood, helpful!, to all around us, to people who had a genuine need, may it be our friend, relative, neighbour or may be someone unknown, we'd probably be empathizing and helping with people around us. Now though we are too much familiar with it, we've kindof grown up on it.
We talk so much about religion, some of us even say we are really pious and devoted men, well even women. Its real sarcastic and sometimes funny when such people commit such unjust acts towards others. You'd feel like asking, where is your piety? where is your devotion? Doesn't devotion and piety ask you to be accomodative of people around you, are you not supposed to treat all men as equals, to spread harmony and brotherhood and tolerance!!?
An ocean so vast is also made up of drops of water, that is to say, when each on of us understands the importance of our individual contribution towards a target so vast, which can only be conquered by all of us believing and beginning to contribute, joining hands to overcome, and most importantly empathize with each other and each others problems, feelings and emotions. we can all join together as one and make this world a better living place.
Lets make the world a better place!..

"Reality Check" or Quarter Life Crisis???
Truth!!! though difficult is that we are beings who have all the time looked around for comfort zones and have stuck to those for dear life whenever we have happened to come across, even by accident. When we are most unaware or shall i say least expecting we get HIT!, by what?! we never realise. By the time we ever do or have ever done, its too late and the facts are laughing on our faces.
We always kept thinking we'd be there forever, our comfort zones would be there forever... a nonexistent and unreal "Forever". Life moves on, people in our lives move on... we realise we are left behind by so many... We tend to think and try to figure... what went wrong and mostly get no answers... getting more and more confused by the hour and days.. every passing moment makes us more and more confused... and we end up getting farther and farther from our friends and our loved ones, hoping to find some place where we'd be settled... settled for good!!! Times come when the feelings of security becomes strong and also when we are most insecure... we are the most confused...
Then all of a sudden, as if enlightened by the Great Gautam Buddha himself, we begin mistrusting our friends and loved ones, creating new boundaries, or rather discovering new ones, to which we keep adding new facts to the 'rights' and 'wrongs' and begin expecting others to adhere to our values and to those boundaries. and getting more and more stubborn and confused in the process of setting the self realised and a bit too many parameters for others and not finding much compliance.
Is it only us who feel this way? Can it be? Is it? For sure it isn't, and we need to realise, this is what our friends and loved ones, yes! those that we have begun to mistrust, are also going through a similar dilemma!
And now that we relate to this, we are more aware of the confusion within us, we are more aware of the confusion amongst our friends and loved ones, more aware of the divides!!! Lets pledge to reach out, and let the others know that they are not alone... We are with them and we trust them as we used to earlier... Show that we care.. Show that we love.. and then NEVER, Yes!, never we'd be alone in our lives... and never fall with no one around around to pick us up.. Never crumble when taken down unexpectedly..
Lets make our lives better!!!
