[Plz read] Real Story - Happened in Bangalore, Must read

Real Story - Happened in Bangalore, Must read

If you know some one staying in B'glore let them know this. If you are in b'lore, do go through this story COZ, its a real one.

Read this true story... and let everybody you know in and around Bangalore especially Bannerghatta Road ......

My friend lives in Malleshwaram... One day he went to Bannerghatta Road to visit his uncle for some days as his parents had to attend a wedding in Coimbatore. One evening he and some other of my college friends went to Yellahanka for a movie.

He had so much fun that he forgot that it's very late. He caught the last local bus to Bannerghatta Road ..... he reached Bannerghatta Road around midnight......

He had to walk about a mile from the bus stop to home....As he was walking alone, he could sense that the night felt very creepy as it was so dark. While walking, he was stonished to See an old creepy looking guy selling some books. It was a very unusual thing to see a thing like that.....

It got the shivers ! on him when he noticed that his old guy is unusually pale and staring at him...
The old guy said "Son why don't you get a book...it would keep you company".

Then he did something which he would regret for the rest of his life .........

My friend started to act brave & thought why not & had a look at his collections... My friend's hair started to rise up as he noticed that all the books were related to supernatural activities...but he found one that was very interesting.So he asked the old man "how much is it, uncle?"....

The old guy replied, "Well son...this is an interesting book...it's only for Rs 250.

My friend was shocked and said "but...but... it's expensive"
This time the old man stared which freaked my friend.

My friend quickly checked all his pockets & found Rs.200 & said "This is all I have." The old guy replied "It's OK son ...you can have the book for that price"

As ! my friend was just about to run for home...the old man called back & said "Son ... whatever happen, you don't ever flip the book to it's last page... remember these words or you would regret...!!!!!"

My friend nodded and never looked back .. Reaching home...he quickly asked his Uncle whether there was any new old book seller nearby? The Uncle replied "not that I know of but ..we've heard that there's 1 old man comes once in a while during full moon nights but heard that there is something creepy about it...why son?"

My friend freaked out... he told his uncle "nothing uncle...just asking". He started reading the book with the old man's words on his mind.. At night, 12 0'clock, as he went to bed, a gush of wind
blew which chilled him up to his bones. At that glimpse, he noticed the wind had blown the pages to its last page. He remembered what the old man has said! But we humans tend to have the tendency to know. Out of curiosity, he flipped to the last page & fainted... What he saw at the last page is stated below:

Don't look further down if you have a weak heart warn you

Alex : Hi John, you didn't come yesterday to office?
John : Yeah, I was in Indian Embassy for stamping.

Alex : Oh really, what happened, I heard that nowadays it has become very strict.
John : Yeah, but I managed to get it.

Alex : How long it took to get it stamped?
John : Oh, it was nasty man, long queue. Bill Gates was standing in front of me and they played with him like anything. Thats why it got delayed. I went there at 2 am itself and waited and returned by 4 pm.

Alex : Really? In India, it is a matter of an hour to get stamped for USA.
John : Yeah, but that is because who in India will be interested in coming to USA man, their economy has been booming.

Alex : So, when are you leaving?
John : Anytime, after receiving my tickets from the client in India and you know, I will be getting a chance to fly Air-India. Sort of dream come true.

Alex : How long are you going to stay in India?
John : What do you mean by how long? I will be settled in India, my company has promised me that they will process my Hara Patta.

Alex : Really, lucky person man, it is very difficult to get a Hara Patta in India.
John : Yeah, thats why, I am planning to marry an Indian girl there.

Alex : But you can find lots of US girls in Bangalore,Hyderabad and Mumbai.
John : But, I prefer Indian girls because they are beautiful and cultured.

Alex : Where did you get the offer, Bangalore?
John : Yeah, salary is good there, but cost of living is quite high, it is Rs. 1000/- for a single room accommodation.

Alex : I see, that's too much for US people, Rs.1/- = $ 100/-. Oh God!What about in Chennai, Mumbai?
John : No idea, but it is less than what we have in Bangalore. It is like the world headquarters of Software.

Alex : I heard, almost all the Indians are having one personal Robot for help.
John : You can get a BMW car for Rs. 5000/-, and a personal Robot for less than Rs. 7500/-. But my dream is to purchase Ambassador, which costs Rs.200000/- but has got a sexy design.

Alex : By the way, who is your client?
John : A pure Indian company, specializing in Embedded Software.

Alex : Oh, really, lucky to work in a pure Indian company. They are really intelligent and unlike American Bodyshoppers who have opened their Fly-by-night outfits in India. Indian companies pay you in full even when you are on bench. My friend Paul Allen, it seems,used his bench time to visit Bihar,the most livable place in India, probably world. There you have full freedom and no restrictions.You can do whatever you want! ! I wonder how that state has perfected that system.

John : Yeah man, you are right. I hope our America also follows their footsteps.

Alex : How are you going to cope with their language?
John : Why not? From my school days I have been learning Hindi as my first language here at New York.At the Consulate they tested my proficiency in Hindi and were quite impressed by my cent percent score in TOHIL i.e.Test ofHindi as International Language.

Alex : So, you are going to have fun there.
John : Yeah, I will be travelling in the world's fastest train, world's largest theme park, and the famous Bollywood where you can see actors like, Hrithik, and all. And dont forget superstar Chiranjeevi and his style.

Alex : You know, the PM is scheduled to visit US next year,he may then relax the number of visas.
John : That's true. Last month, Narayanamurthy visited White House and donated Rs. 2000/- for in! frastructure development at Silicon Valley and has promised more if we follow the model of Silicon City of Bangalore. Bill Gates also got a chance of meeting him. Very lucky person.

Alex : But, Indian government is planning to split Narayanamurthy's Infosys.
John : He is a hard worker man, he can build any number of Infosys like this. Every minute he is getting Rs. 1000/-. It seems, if you keep all his money converted as Rs. 100/- notes you can reach Pluto.

Alex : OK, Good Luck John.
John : Same to you Alex. And don't go to Consulate in a Kurta Pyjama because they will think you are too Indianised and may doubt you will ever come back and hence your Non-Immigrant Visa may get ejected. But don't forget to say "Namaste, aap kaise hai" to the Visa officer at Window 5. It seems he likes that and will not give you a visa if you don't greet him that way.

[fun] Why Bill Gates was ready to SELL OFF Microsoft

Why Bill Gates SOLD OFF Microsoft

Letter is from Banta Singh of Punjab to Mr. Bill Gates of Microsoft
Subject: Problems with my new computer
 


Dear Mr. Bill Gates,

We have bought a computer for our home and we have found some
problems,  which I want to bring to your notice.


1. There is a button 'start' but there is no 'stop' button. We request you to check this.                                                  

2. We find there is 'Run' in the menu. One of my friends clicked 'run'   he ran up to Amritsar ! So, we request you to change that to 'sit', so that we can click that by sitting.
                                                                   
3. One doubt is whether any 're-scooter' is available in system? I
find    only 're-cycle', but I own a scooter at my home.

4. There is 'Find' button but it is not working properly. My wife lost the door key and we tried a lot trace the key with this ' find' button,  but was unable to trace. Please rectify this problem.

5. My child learnt 'Microsoft word' now he wants to learn 'Microsoft sentence', so when you will provide that?

6. I brought computer, CPU, mouse and keyboard, but there is only one icon which shows 'MY Computer': when you will provide the remaining items?

7. It is surprising that windows says 'MY Pictures' but there is not
   even a single photo of mine. So when will you keep my photo in that.

8. There is 'MICROSOFT OFFICE' what about 'MICROSOFT HOME' since I use the PC at home only.
                                                                   
9. You provided 'My Recent Documents'. When you will provide 'My Past Documents'?
                                                                   
10. You provide 'My Network Places'. For God shake please do not provide   'My Secret Places'. I do not want to let my wife know where I go after my  office hours.
                                                               
Regards,

[Plz read] A Blog Posted by Singapore 's Youngest Millionaire!

A Blog Posted by Singapore 's Youngest Millionaire!
 By Adam Khoo |
 
 Some of you may already know that I travel around the region pretty frequently, having to visit and conduct seminars at my offices in Malaysia,  Indonesia , Thailand and Suzhou ( China ). I am in the airport almost every other week so I get to bump into many people who have attended my  seminars or have read my books.

Recently, someone came up to me on a plane to KL and looked rather  shocked.. He asked, 'How come a millionaire like you is  travelling  economy?' My reply was, 'That's why I am a
 millionaire'. He still looked  pretty confused. This again confirms that greatest lie ever told about  wealth (which I wrote about in my latest book 'Secrets of Self Made  Millionaires'). Many people have been brainwashed to think that  millionaires have to wear Gucci, Hugo Boss, Rolex, and sit in first class in air travel. This is why so many people never become rich  because the moment that earn more money, they think that it is only  natural that they spend more, putting them back to square one.
 
 The truth is that most self-made millionaires are frugal and only spend on  what is necessary and of value. That is why they are able to accumulate  and multiply their wealth so much faster. Over the last 7 years, I have  saved about 80% of my income while today I save only about 60% (because I  have my wife, mother in law, 2 maids, 2 kids, etc. to support). Still, it  is way above most people who save 10% of their income (if they are lucky).  I refuse to buy a first class ticket or to buy a $300 shirt because I  think that it is a complete waste of money. However, I
 happily pay $1,300  to send my 2-year old daughter to Julia Gabriel Speech and Drama without  thinking twice.
 
 When I joined the YEO (Young Entrepreneur's Organization) a few years back  (YEO is an exclusive club open to those who are under 40 and make over $1m
 a year in their own business) I discovered that those who were self-made  thought like me. Many of them with net worth well over $5m, travelled  economy class and some even drove Toyotas and Nissans (not Audis, Mercs,  BMWs).
 
 I noticed that it was only those who never had to work hard to build their  own wealth (there were also a few ministers' and tycoons' sons in the  club) who spent like there was no tomorrow. Somehow, when you did not have  to build everything from scratch, you do not really value money. This is  precisely the reason why a family's wealth (no matter how much) rarely
 lasts past the third generation. Thank God my rich dad (oh no! I sound  like Kiyosaki) foresaw this terrible possibility and refused to give me a  cent to start my business.
 
 Then some people ask me, 'What is the point in making so much money if you  don't enjoy it?' The thing is that I don't really find happiness in buying  branded clothes, jewellery or sitting first class. Even if buying  something makes me happy it is only for a while, it does not last.  Material happiness never lasts; it just gives you a quick fix. After a  while you feel lousy again and have to buy the next thing which you think  will make you happy. I always think that if you need material things to  make you happy, then you live a pretty sad and unfulfilled life.
 
 Instead, what makes ME happy is when I see my children laughing and  playing and learning so fast. What makes me happy is when I see by  companies and trainers reaching more and more people every year in so many  more countries. What makes me really happy is when I read all the emails  about how my books and seminars have touched and inspired someone's life.
 What makes me really happy is reading all your wonderful posts about how  this BLOG is inspiring you. This happiness makes me feel really good for a  long time, much much more than what a Rolex would do for me.
 
 I think the point I want to put across is that happiness must come from  doing your life's work (be in teaching, building homes, designing,  trading, winning tournaments etc.) and the money that comes is only a  by-product. If you hate what you are doing and rely on the money you earn  to make you happy by buying stuff, then I think that you are living a  meaningless life.
