but i thought this happened only in india***A Japanese company (Toyota) and an American company (GeneralMotors) decided to have a canoe race on the Missouri River. Both teamspracticed long and hard to reach their peak performance before therace.**On the big day, the Japanese won by a mile.**The Americans, very discouraged and depressed, decided toinvestigate the reason for the crushing defeat. A management team madeup of senior management was formed to investigate and recommendappropriate action.**Their conclusion was the Japanese had 8 people rowing and 1 personsteering, while the American team had 8 people steering and 1 personrowing.**Feeling a deeper study was in order, American management hired aconsulting company and paid them a large amount of money for a secondopinion. They advised, of course, that too many people were steeringthe boat, while not enough people were rowing.**Not sure of how to utilize that information, but wanting to preventanother loss to the Japanese, the rowing team's management structurewas totally reorganized to 4 steering supervisors, 3 area steeringsuperintendents and 1 assistant superintendent steering manager.**They also implemented a new performance system that would give theone person rowing the boat greater incentive to work harder. It wascalled the "Rowing Team Quality First Program", with meetings, dinnersand free pens for the rower. There was discussion of getting newpaddles, canoes and other equipment, extra vacation days for practicesand bonuses.**The next year the Japanese won by two miles.**Humiliated, the American management laid off the rower for poorperformance, halted development of a new canoe, sold the paddles, andcanceled all capital investments for new equipment. The money savedwas distributed to the Senior Executives as bonuses and the nextyear's racing team was out-sourced to India.
A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a 1000 Rs. note. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this 1000 Rs. note?” Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this note to one of you but first let me do this.” He proceeded to crumple the note up. He then asked, "Who still wants it?". Still the hands were up in the air.” Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air."My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth 1000 Rs. Many times in your lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.”
You are special. Don't ever forget it! Never let yesterday's disappointments overshadow tomorrow's dreams.

A Different Stroke
Sonia Gandhi is certainly a truly sensitive Italian lady and once
again she has proved it.She has always been very sophisticated and
decent and has always been empathetic towards her rivals. When the
terrorists had attacked the Parliament She was the first one to call
on the then PM Atal Bihari Bajpayee about his safety and security, she
had asserted Mr. Chandrashekhar the Ex-PM to go for an extensive
medical treatment. She has followed a trend set by Jawaharlal Nehru
who appreciated his then rival Atal Bihari Bajpai to maintain a
cordial relation with the opposition party.
These kind gestures it seems have been understood and payed back. It
came as a pleasant surprise when the she-tank of the opposition party
(BJP) payed her homage to Rajiv Gandhi at Vir Bhumi. Though it was not
long before that they were arch rivals and Sushma Swaraj had sworn to
go bald if she lost her elections in Bareily against Sonia Gandhi. The
tables have turned , the two it seems share a close bond these days.
Both have been staunch supporters for the passing of the Women’s Bill
in the Parliament. The
sources from BJP who do not wished to be named are of the opinion that
Sonia Gandhi who is generally considered to be cold, is very warm and
spontaneous towards Sushma Swaraj. They are friendly, talk about like
two buddies sharing jokes and well-being about their family members.
It is a welcome sight to watch both of them walking out of the
Parliament chatting.
Lets all keep our fingers crossed for their budding friendship to
bloom into a strong one so that it becomes capable of facing the rough
weathers of politics and oppositions. This would bring about a
positive environment in the otherwise bickering, shouting and
mud-slinging houses and could also help reaching consensus on the
Bills to be passed.
Are the likes of Lalu Prasad, Mayawati, Mamta Banerjee, observing so
that instead of snide remarks, accusations, allegations ,unrest and
enimosity they try to deliver and serve, which are the very reasons
of their being elected

Is the steep hike in the prices of petro-products justified?
Is the steep hike in the prices of petro-products justified?
No, certainly not, it seems as if the common man in being taken for a
ride by the Government. It is presenting a totally different picture
of the reality. The petroleum companies are certainly not suffering
any kind of losses as the Government is trying to project, as the
companies have never come forward stating their losses. The former is
stressing about the under-recoveries but what kind of under-
recoveries are not specified.
All around the globe the petroleum companies are minting money even
after the hike in the prices of crude oil, eg, BP, Exxon and Shell
have made billions. Then why should we pay more for our transport and
cooking gas, as the Government has lifted its control on the companies
and has given them the liberties to fix prices of fuels on the basis
of market forces- of state controlled prices of petrol?
The reason evident of dismantling Administrative Price Mechanism (APM)
is obviously not aimed at the profits of the Public Sector Companies,
which are nine in number, but for the private oil companies who find
it hard to compete with the tight budgeting of PSUs. This apparently
can be said to be the after-effect of the agreement between the two
feuding brothers’ oil-companies. Their retail outlets were in a state
of fix because of PSUs maintaining just prices.
The hike in the prices of the petroleum products would mean increase
in the prices of other goods, that would push the existing inflation
rate of 10% even higher. It would further add to the costs of other
commodities like- cement, metals, other consumer durable items, hotels
etc. The concerned companies have to bear the burden as they cannot
immediately increase the prices on the commodities. This would make
the poor consumers have a fit. However in the end the consumers will
have to bear the brunt.

Mingling of boys and girls- a taboo?
Mingling of boys and girls- a taboo?
No certainly not., I personally do not consider that mingling of boys
and girls is against our culture. The first and foremost question is
that why do we categorize them into compartments of gender, why can’t
we treat them as individuals? We do not live a segregated life at home
or in the society, so then why the segregation in colleges and public
places.
We always raise an eyebrow when we see a boy and a girl together. Our
first reaction is “setting” or” fixing ”. It’s a very funny reaction.
Our culture has always treated both the genders equally has promoted
their mingling. History has been the evidence that we have both the
genders studying together, shouldering responsibilities.
Moreover with urbanization and metropolitan culture the mingling of
the genders is far from being considered to be a taboo. We remember
what happened in the parks of Uttar Pradesh where on the pretext of
moral policing the boys and girls were beaten up by the policemen and
it turned out that many of them were married couples.
However we do understand the high risks – of mental as well as on
moral grounds. We do need to keep a track on their whereabouts as well
as guide them from time to time. Lets be reasonable and help the boys
and girls to decide on their own limits and help them to form and
retain positive relationships, which would help them adjust with each
other in future.

MSN cricket features 'Cricketer of the Month'an abs must read..
Supposedly written by a schoolboy with all original spellings :
The original inhabitants of ancient India were called Adidases, who lived in two cities called Hariappa and Mujhe-na-Daro. These cities had the best drain system in the world and so there was no brain drain from them. Ancient India was full of myths which have been handed down from son to father. A myth is a female moth. A collection of myths is called mythology, which means stories with female caricatures. One myth says that people in olden times worshipped monkeys because they were our incestors. In olden times there were two big families in India. One was called the Pandava and the other was called the Karova. They fought amongst themselves in a battle called Mahabharat, after which India came to be known as Mera Bharat Mahan. In midevil times India was ruled by the Slave Dienasty. So named because they all died a nasty death. Then came the Tughlaqs who shifted their capital from Delhi because of its pollution. They were followed by the Mowglis. The greatest Mowgli was Akbar because he extinguished himself on the battlefield of Panipat which is in Hurryana. But his son Jehangir was peace loving; he married one Hindu wife and kept 300 porcupines. Then came Shahajahan who had 14 sons. Family planning had not been invented at that time. He also built the Taj Mahal hotel for his wife who now sleeps there. The king sent all his sons away to distant parts of India because they started quarrelling. Dara Seiko was sent to UP, Shaikh Bhakhtiyar was sent
to J & K, while Orangezip came to Bombay to fight Shivaji. However, after that they changed its name to Mumbai because Shivaji's sena did not like it. They also do not like New Delhi, so they are calling it Door Darshan. After the Mowglis came Vasco the Gama. He was an exploder who was circumcising India with a 100 foot clipper. Then came the British.They brought with them many inventions such as cricket, tramtarts and steamed railways. They were followed by the French who brought in French fries, pizzazz and laundry. But Robert Clive drove them out when he deafened Duplex who was out membered since the British had the queen on their side. Eventually, the British came to overrule India because there was too much diversity in our unity. The British overruled India for a long period.
They were great expotents and impotents. They started expoting salt from India and impoting cloth. This was not liked by Mahatma Gandhi who wanted to produce his own salt. This was called the Swedish moment. During this moment, many people burnt their lion cloths in the street and refused to wear anything else. The British became very angry at this and stopped the production of Indian testiles. In 1920, Mahatma Gandhi was married to one wife. Soon after he became the
father of the nation. In 1942 he started the Quiet India moment, so named because the British were quietly lootoing our country. In 1947, India became free and its people became freely loving. This
increased our population. Its government became a limited mockery, which means people are allowed to take the law in their own hands with the help of the police. Our constipation is the best in the world because it says that no man can be hanged twice for the same crime. It also says you cannot be put in prison if you have not paid your taxis. Another important thing about our constipation is that it can be changed. This is not possible with the British constipation because it is not written on paper. The Indian parlemint consists of two houses which are called lower and higher. This is because one Mr Honest Abe said that two houses divided against itself cannot withstand. So Pandit Nehru asked the British for freedom at midnight since the British were afraid of the dark. At midnight, on August 15, there was a tryst in parlemint in which many participated by wearing khaki and hosting the flag. Recently in India, there have been a large number of scams and a plaque. it can be dangerous because many people died of this plaque in Surat. Scams are all over India. One of these was in Bihar where holy cows were not given anything to eat by their elected leader. The other scam was in Bofor which is a small town in Switzerland. In this, a lot of Indian money was given to buy a gun which can shoot a coot. Presently India has a coalishun government made up of many parties, left, right and centre. It has started to library the economy. This means that there is now no need for a licence as the economy will be driven by itself. India is also trying to become an Asian tiger because its own tigers are being poached. Another important event this year was the Shark meeting at
Malas Dive. At this place, shark leaders agreed to share their poverty, pollution and population.
wow...what a read!!
