NO LIMITS....... While a man was polishing his new car, his 4 yr old son picked stone & scratched lines on the side of the car. In anger, the man took the child's hand & hit it many times, not realizing he was using a wrench. At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple fractures. When the child say his father.... with painful eyes he asked 'Dad when will my fingers grow back?' Man was so hurt and speechless. He went back to car and kicked it a lot of times. devastated by his own actions...... sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches, child had written 'LOVE YOU DAD'. The next day that man committed suicide. . . 'Anger and Love has no limits, so let the river of life flow in Limits so that this fresh water stream is never scattered'

Be Lion in your own country-Nice One

Sun, 10 Jun 2007 08:04:52 -0500

In a poor zoo of India , a lion was frustrated as he was offered not more than 1 kg of meat a day. The lion thought its prayers were answered. when one day a Dubai Zoo Manager visited the zoo and requested the zoo management to shift the lion to Dubai Zoo. The lion was so happy and started thinking of a central A/C environment, a goat or two every day. On its first day after arrival, the lion was offered a big bag, sealed very nicely for breakfast. The lion opened it quickly but was shocked to see that it contained few bananas. The lion thought that may be they cared too much for him as they were worried about his stomach as he had recently shifted from India . The next day the same thing happened. On the third day again the same food bag of bananas was delivered. The lion was so furious; it stopped the delivery boy and blasted at him,' don't you know I am the lion...king of the Jungle..., what's wrong with your management? What nonsense is this? Why are you delivering bananas to me? The delivery boy politely said, 'Sir, I know you are the king of the jungle ... but... you have been brought here on a monkey's visa !!! ' Moral of the Story .... Better to be a Lion in your own country than a Monkey elsewhere

Hope this brings up a BIG change in YOU

A Professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it. He held it up for all to see & asked the students "How much do you think this glass weighs?" '50gms!' .... '100gms!' .....'125gms' ...the students answered. "I really don't know unless I weigh it," said the professor, "but, my question is: What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?" 'Nothing' .....the students said. 'Ok what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?' the professor asked. 'Your arm would begin to ache' said one of the student "You're right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?" "Your arm could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress & paralysis & have to go to hospital for sure!" ...... ventured another student & all the students laughed "Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?" asked the professor. 'No'.... Was the answer. "Then what caused the arm ache & the muscle stress?" The students were puzzled. "What should I do now to come out of pain?" asked professor again. "Put the glass down!" said one of the students "Exactly!" said the professor. Life's problems are something like this. Hold it for a few minutes in your head & they seem OK. Think of them for a long time & they begin to ache. Hold it even longer & they begin to paralyze you. You will not be able to do anything. It's important to think of the challenges or problems in your life, but EVEN MORE IMPORTANT is to 'PUT THEM DOWN' at the end of every day before You go to sleep. That way, you are not stressed, you wake up every day fresh &strong & can handle any issue, any challenge that comes your way! So, When you leave office today, Remember to PUT THE GLASS DOWN!'

Good article about Heart Care!!

Sat, 06 Jan 2007 02:41:07 -0600

A friend of mine, who attended a Medical lecture, wherein Dr Bhaskar Shah spoke on the subject of HEART. Dr Shah is a senior doctor and a director of ASIAN HEART INSTITUTE MUMBAI, one of the premier heart hospitals of India. Having found the talk quite useful he prepared a note on the imp points elaborated by Dr Shah to share with near and dear ones like you. The topic was DIL HAI TO SUB KUCH HAI ( IF YOUR HEART IS OK THEN YOU HAVE EVERY THING ) . These are the main points which I am trying to narrate in the speaker's words : � Facts abt the Heart o Heart pumps abt 7200 Ltrs of blood every day o It never takes rest till we are alive o Compared with other organs heart really does very very hard work o This particular area of medical science is undergoing thru a sea change. There is a vast difference in treatment if one compares 1970 vis a vis today. Now barring few circumstances angioplasty is equally good compared with open heart surgery o Due to modern day pressure the heart problems have increased multi fold even in the age group of 40 -- 45 years particularly executives who have more table work and no physical activity � Reasons for heart problems o Tobacco in any form. There is a myth that if we do not inhale smoke or fluid of tobacco ( Gutakha ) then there is ++++++++++++++++not much harm. This is wrong. The reason is tongue is very sensitive organ of our body ( eg potassium cyanide -- as soon as it is on tongue its effect is immediate). o No or very less physical activity. o Cold drinks, pizzas, butter, oil, sugar, salt etc etc o As far as Indians are concerned -- genetically they are more prone to heart diseases because ? Genetically body of Indians absorb food very fast. The reason is one wants to store any thing which is in short supply. India was having situations of drought etc in the past and hence long back people were eating more than need whenever food was available. This made a genetic peculiarity in Indians. Indians normally put weight on stomach where as people in the west put weight on butts. ? Normal Indian diet is very rich having sweets, oil, butter, ghee etc � Precautions / other points o Pl do not try to interpret your angiography blood pressure reports. A person with abnormal angiography report can have god heart and vice versa o When facing heart problem do not walk. Remain in relaxed position as far as possible. The reason is that in the relaxed position there is minimum load on the heart o Normally cases of heart attack are maximum at the time of early morning � How to prevent o Pl try to get rid of habit of tobacco in any form. It's easy said then done and very difficult. In the past you might have tried 100 time. Still no harm in trying 101st time. o Brisk walk is very good for heart. The ideal speed should be 1 mile per 15 minutes or 4 miles an hour ( or roughly 1 KM in abt 10 minutes). Unless one really walks fast , it wont help. o Physical activity and brisk walk do the same miracle that by pass surgery does. When we walk brisk -- to maintain blood levels our body forces the heart to take more blood and in this natural process few more new veins are created by the body to maintain blood circulation. That is exactly what is done by we Doctors by performing angioplasty or open heart surgery ie creating the path for circulation of the blood o The best time to walk is empty stomach. Evening time is better. Try to walk at least 5 time a week. o Swimming and cycling are also equally good o Eat healthy food like leafy vegetables, fruits etc o Abt 5 to 10 almonds and 2 wall nuts every day are good for heart o When a person with fracture comes to us. What we Doctors do. By the help of plastering we succeed in joining the broken bones. But whether it gives guarantee that there will not be any fracture in future. Similarly by doing heart surgery we remove blood clots and fat from the arteries. But if the person does not change his life style then he is going to lend in the same problems again o Do yoga & exercises o Even by doing all if you do not get relief then it is advisable to take daily medication. You may forward it to your near and dear ones

Heart Attacks and drinking warm water....

Wed, 06 Dec 2006 00:04:18 -0600

This is a very good article. Not only about the warm water after your meal, but about heart attacks. This makes sense.. the Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals...not cold water...maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain... For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this "sludge" reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a m! eal. A serious note about heart attacks: You should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive... A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to 10people, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life. Read this...It could save your life!! **Please be a true friend and send this article to all your friends you care about**

Cell fone gimmicks...dont know if it works.....

Sun, 10 Sep 2006 01:48:19 -0500

Subject: Cell fone gimmicks...dont know if it works..... THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELLPHONE COULD... There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies. Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival. Check out the things that you can do with it: - FIRST Subject: Emergency The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out of coverage area of your mobile network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out. SECOND Subject: Have you locked your keys in the car? Does your car have remote keys? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call Someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other "remote" for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk). Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a cell phone!" THIRD Subject: Hidden Battery power Imagine your cell battery is very low, you are expecting an important call and you don't have a charger. Nokia instrument comes with a reserve battery. To activate, press the keys *3370# Your cell will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell next time. AND FINALLY... FORTH How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone? To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits on your phone: * # 0 6 # A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. When your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.

A CUP OF COFFEE

Thu, 22 Jun 2006 03:51:10 -0500

Group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university lecturer. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work life Offering his guests coffee, the lecturer went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups: porcelain, plastic, glass, some plain looking and some expensive and exquisite, telling them to help themselves to hot coffee. When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the lecturer said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the better cups and are eyeing each other's cups." "Now, if Life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change." "Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it." So, don't let the cups drive you...enjoy the coffee instead........
