Fwd: boss is watching? look busy - LOL :-)



A smart thought!
 
Take a look at www.redbus.in
 
Therz a link "boss is watching? look busy"
 
When you click, an excel sheet with graphics, statistics appear…!
 
So if you are on this site and suddenly your boss is watching, click this.... and it will make him/her assume that you are on a serious analysis :-)
 
Clever thought...... This should be on social networking sites or some news/cricket sites as well :-)

FW: Amazing and heart touching...................! and read it and feel... (Must Read Please)





 
Amazing and heart touching...................! and read it and feel... (Must Read Please)

    DATE WITH A WOMAN

             


            After 21 years of Marriage, my Wife wanted me to take another Woman

            out to Dinner and a Movie.

            She said I Love You but I know this other Woman loves you and would Love

            to spend some Time with You.


            The other Woman that my Wife wanted me to visit was my
            MOTHER,

            who has been a Widow for 19 years,

            but the demands of my Work and my three Children had made it possible

            to visit her only occasionally.


            That night I called to Invite her to go out for Dinner and a Movie.


            'What's wrong, are you well,'
            she asked?

            My Mother is the type of Woman who suspects that

            a Late Night Call or a Surprise Invitation is a sign of Bad News.


            'I thought that it would be pleasant to be with you,'

            I responded.


            'Just the two of us.'



            She thought about it for a moment, and then said,

            'I would like that very much.'



            That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit Nervous.
            When I arrived at her House, I noticed that she too seemed to be Nervous

            about our Date.

            She waited in the Door with her Coat on.

            She had Curled her Hair and was wearing the Dress that she had worn to

            Celebrate her last Wedding Anniversary.


            She smiled from a face that was as Radiant as an Angel's.


            'I told my Friends that I was going to go out with My Son, and they were impressed, '


            She said, as she got into the Car.


            'They can't wait to hear about our meeting'.


            We went to a Restaurant that, although not Elegant, was very Nice and Cozy.

            My Mother took my Arm as if She were the First Lady.


            After we sat down, I had to read the Menu. Large Print.

            Half way through the entries, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting

            there staring at me.


            A Nostalgic Smile was on her Lips.


            'It was I who used to have to Read the Menu when you were Small,'


            She said.


            'Then it's Time that you Relax and let me Return the Favor,'


            I responded.


            During the Dinner, we had an Agreeable Conversation, nothing

             Extra-ordinary, but catching up on recent Events of each others Life.

            We talked so much that we missed the Movie.

            As we arrived at her House later,

            She said,
            'I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.'

            I agreed.


            'How was your Dinner Date?'
            asked My Wife when I got Home.

            'Very Nice. Much more so than I could have Imagined,'
            I answered.


            A few days later, my Mother died of a Massive Heart Attack.

            It happened so suddenly that I didn't have Time to do anything for her.
            Some time later, I received an Envelope with a Copy of a Restaurant Receipt

            from the same place Mother and I had dined.


            An Attached Note Said:


            'I paid this Bill in Advance.

            I wasn't sure that I could be there;

            But nevertheless, I paid for Two Plates 
             
             
            One for You and the Other for Your Wife.

            You will never know what that Night meant for Me.
             

            I Love You,
              My Son.'


            At that moment, I understood the Importance of saying in Time:

            'I LOVE YOU!'


            and to give our Loved Ones the Time that they Deserve.

            Nothing in Life is more important than
            God and your Family.

            Give them the
            Time they Deserve, because these Things cannot be
            Put Off till
            'Some Other Time.'


            Pass This Along To Everyone

            With An
            Aging Parent,
            To A
            Child,
            To An
            Adult,
            To Anyone With A
            Parent,

            And Most Importantly,
             

            To Someone
              
             You Truly Love  


    Express the Feelings, Dont ever cheat yourself...

    India’s youngest organ donor

    Four Days old baby becomes India's youngest organ donor

    Kishore Kumar is a young Revenue Inspector in Mahabubnagar District, Andhra Pradesh.  His wife, Hymavathi, a school teacher, delivered a pre-term female baby on 8th July at Durgabai Deshmukh Hospital, Hyderabad.  Although the infant was normal for two days, she developed complications, as a result of which, the doctors ventilated her, and informed the parents that the chances of survival of the child were remote.  Unfortunately, the baby expired on the morning of 12th July.  While the parents were still in a state of shock, uncle of the baby, (also named Kishore Kumar), who is a Reporter at Saakshi newspaper broached the subject of organ donation with his namesake. He took the initiative of calling MOHAN Foundation's CEO, Mr. Raghuram and enquired if the child's organs can be used.  Mr. Raghuram mentioned to him that her heart valves and eyes can be used. 

    Kishore Kumar, Saakshi Reporter, motivated his cousin and convinced him that the child's organs can give life to other children, and that he should consider this option.  He also spoke to other members of the family who responded positively as this was going to save lives of those unfortunate children that are suffering due to absence or underdeveloped heart valves, and give vision to two people.  After obtaining a consent from the family, Mr. Raghuram, CEO of MOHAN Foundation swung into action and had the baby shifted to Innova Hospital, Secunderabad, where her heart valves and eyes were retrieved under sterile conditions.

    Unfortunately, some children are born with absence / under developed heart valves. These birth defects in the heart are called Pulmonary Atresia and Truncus Arteriosus etc. The babies born with such conditions do not have proper blood flow to the lungs. They need re-construction of blood vessel from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery (which supplies blood to the lungs). This can be done by harvesting heart valves from deceased donors. Obtaining small sized valves from the baby donors is very difficult and rare. Commercially available heart valve tubes are to be imported from abroad and are very expensive. Neonatal donors give a fresh lease of life to these unfortunate heart disease babies. 

    Baby of Hymavathi and Kishore Kumar has managed a "big achievement" in her "short span of life".  Her heart valves will breathe life in two children and two patients will enjoy the beauties of this world.

    Football - Who will win the FIFA world cup 2010?

    Math has always played its part in superstitions around the globe and football is not immune to it.

    Here is a small proof (did not verify the facts, but a funny read nevertheless!):

    1.Brazil won the world cup in 1994. b4 tat they also won in 1970.. 1970+1994=3964.. 2.Argentina won the cup in 1986.b4 tat in 1978.. 1986+1978=3964.. 3.Germany won the cup in 1990.b4 tat in 1974.. 1990+1974=3964.. 4.Brazil also won the cup in 2002.b4 tat in 1962.. 2002+1962=3964.. 5.so this time.. subtract ...2010 from the magic number 3964.. 3964-2010=1954.. 1954 world cup was won by Germany..:):):)
    We will see if this theory holds fort, either in a week's time or as early as tonight, in Germany's showdown with Spain !
