On Patents Hi, Well, once in a while I get myself crazed with some particular topic. This time, it was the turn of Patents. I have collected some data; and here is some part of it. Hope you find it informative and perhaps, even useful. Yours, Gautam. ****************************************************************************** Understanding Patents Brief Definition: A patent is a grant of a property right by the government to the inventor to exclude others from making, using or selling the invention. Patents differ significantly from copyrights and trademarks. All patents must be "maintained" by paying a fee to the Patent & Trademark Office at certain intervals. Failing this, patent expires and you lose exclusive rights to invention. Three Categories In the U.S., according to the current patent law, the US Patent & Trademark Office grants utility patents and plant patents last for 20 years; and design patents that last for 14 years. •Utility Patents apply to new and useful processes, machines, manufactures, compositions of matter, or any new and useful improvement of one of these. Generally speaking, if your invention does something, you should apply for a utility patent. Traditionally, utility patents have been divided into three basic types: mechanical, electrical, and chemical. (Pharmaceutical patents are a special case of chemical patents.) •Design Patents apply to new, original, and ornamental design for an article or manufacture. For ex, consider the original Macintosh computer. The plastic shell that covers all working parts is covered by a design patent, while many of the working parts it hides are covered by utility patents. •Plant Patents are granted to any person who has invented or discovered and asexually reproduced any distinct and new variety of plant, including cultivated sports, mutants, hybrids, and newly found seedlings, other than tuber-propogated plant or a plant found in an uncultivated state. Three Criteria To receive a patent the invention must meet at least the following three criteria. Usefulness Anyone who invents or discovers any new and useful process, machine, manufacture, compositions of matter, or any new and useful improvement of one of these can receive a utility patent. Novelty Your patent must, of course, be novel. That is, if the invention has been known of or described in a printed publication somewhere before you invented it, or if it has been patented or described more than one year prior to your patent application, you can't get a patent.

(Non)-obviousness A further stipulation of novelty refers to obviousness. Even if what you want to patent is not exactly described in published information, and even if you have created something with one or more differences from the most nearly similar thing known, the Patent & Trademark Office might still refuse your claims if it thinks those differences obvious. For instance, changes in materials or changes in size don't usually count for much. Patents vs. Trade Secrets A patent is a legally recognized monopoly which the government grants in exchange for disclosure of how to make and use an invention. A trade secret is something which confers a business advantage, is not generally known, and that the owner of the trade secret takes steps to maintain as a secret. Tension frequently exists between the options of keeping an invention a trade secret or filing a patent application which discloses the invention. Using a trade secret may eliminate any possibility of ever being able to patent an invention. On the other hand, the publication of a patent destroys any trade secrets which it discloses. Usually, however, the decision requires balancing various commercial, business, and legal factors. Because of the disclosure requirements of patents and the secrecy requirements of trade secrets, these two forms of intellectual property usually cannot be maintained for any one particular technology. A choice either to patent or to maintain as a trade secret must be made. Advantages of Patents In at least two situations, patents are a clear choice over trade secrets. A trade secret is of no use to protect a product which can be reverse engineered. In this situation, a patent is the only option. Similarly, trade secrets are generally of little use when dealing with an invention that is likely to be independently invented by another. For one thing, patents have a firm duration. Trade secret protection can be lost overnight if the secret is publicly disclosed, even if the disclosure was not intentional. Second, once a patent application is filed, the information which is in the application can be freely disclosed without loss of proprietary rights. Obviously, trade secrets cannot be freely disclosed and still maintained as a secret. Third, for technology which is to be licensed out, a licensee may be more willing to pay for technology that is patented. Fourth, the decision to file a patent application is not irrevocable. The act of filing a patent application does not result in loss of trade secret rights. Advantages of Trade Secrets In at least two situations, the decision is clearly in favor of trade secrets. Trade secrets are the only option when the secret covers something that is not patentable. This occurs when the trade secret concerns things like customer lists, business methods, or sources of supply. This also occurs when something that would otherwise have been patentable has been for sale or was publicly used for more than one year. Another example is when the trade secret involves something that is known. For example, if several different methods are known to make a product and a company uses one particular method to its advantage, the undisclosed use of the method can be a trade secret, although it is clearly not patentable. A second clear answer in favor of trade secrets is when the advantage due to the ownership of the technology is of very short duration. If the major competitive advantage is by being "first-tomarket" or if the technology will be obsolete in less time than it would take for a patent to issue, then a patent is of little or no use. Trade secrets also have an advantage because they can potentially last forever. A classic example is the formula for Coca-Cola, which cannot be reverse engineered. If the formula had been patented when it was first used in 1886, the formula would have been in the public domain a long time ago and would now be free to be copied by anyone. However, by maintaining the formula as a trade secret for over one hundred years, Coca-Cola has continued to dominate the world wide soft drink industry. Therefore, trade secrets may be

-5-

preferred over patents for technologies which preserve their competitive advantage for longer than the term of a patent. A further advantage of trade secrets over patents is that there are no official prosecution costs or maintenance fees in order to establish a trade secret or to keep it in force. Patenting costs may range from $15,000 to $30,000 or more. These costs are avoided if an invention is maintained as a trade secret. Conclusion Whether to seek patent protection or to maintain an invention as a trade secret is a decision which must be considered on an individual case basis by examining the specific facts related to the case. Sometimes, the decision is evident. If an invention can be reverse engineered or independently developed, if there is a need to disseminate information about the invention, or if the invention is a technology for which a licensee will only pay if it is patented, then the choice is clearly in favor of patents. On the other hand, if the secret is not patentable, if it provides an advantage which is of a shorter duration than the time that it would take to obtain a patent, or if the secret will be valuable for a very long time and it can be maintained as a trade secret during that time, then the choice is clearly in favor of trade secrets. International Patent Protection Patent protection granted to an inventor by a government is only valid in the country where the inventor requested it. The rights do not extend beyond that country. When you wish to obtain patent protection for the same invention in other country, you must file an application in each of them separately. World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) The WIPO is one of the 16 specialized agencies of the United Nations and has its intergovernmental organization with headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. Its main mission is to promote the protection of intellectual property throughout the world through cooperation among nations. (Intellectual property includes inventions, trademarks, industrial designs, and copyrights.)

India's Contribution To Mathematics INVENTION OF GEOMETRY AND TRIGONOMETRY: ************************************************************** The word 'Geometry' has emerged from the Indian word 'Gyaamiti' which means measuring the earth. The word 'Trigonometry' is similar to the word 'Trilonmiti' meaning measuring triangular form. Euclid is credited with the invention of Geometry, while the concept of Geometry in India emerged 6000 BCE from the practice of making Vedic Fire Altars in square, rectangular, and trapezoidal shapes. ZERO AND DECIMAL SYSTEM ************************************** Zero was invented in India without which the modern world cannot function. The words 'Aditi' (infinite) and 'Kham' (Zero) are found in the Vedic literature. The beginning of Decimal System can be found in the Rig Veda (6500 BCE) and other Vedas. Terms like 'Dasa' (ten), 'Sata' (100), Sahasra (1000), 'Ayuta' (10,000) etc. have been used in the Vedic literature. The number of 'Parardha' (equal to a modern Trillion- 10 ) is mentioned in Yajurveda (17.2). La Place said: "It was India that gave us the ingenious method of expressing all numbers by means of ten symbols (decimal system).. a profound and important idea which escaped the genius of Archimedes and Apollonius, two greatest men produced by antiquity." The highest prefix used in today's math for raising 10 to a power is 'D'- 10 to the power of 30 (from the Greek 'Decca'). As early as 100 BCE, the Indian mathematicians had exact names for figures up to 10 to the power of 53. In 'Anuyogdwar Sutra' written in 100 BCE, one numerical is raised as high as 10 to the power of 140. The American mathematician and historian of science, A. Seidenberg has established that the mathematics of both Old Babylonia (1900-1750 BCE) and the Egyptian Middle Kingdom (2100-1800 BCE) must have derived their mathematics from the ancient Indian Vedic Sulbasutras. BINARY NUMBERS IN INDIAN ANTIQUITY: *************************************************** B. Van Nooten (Dept. of South and SE Asian Studies, Univ. of California, Berkeley) writing on Indian mathematics said: "I have found good reason to believe that the rudiments of binary calculation were discovered in India well in advance of their discovery by the German philosopher Gottfried Leibniz in 1695." He further said: "I have tried to show that Pingala used binary notation to classify metrical verses as early as the second or third century A.D. He also knew how to convert that binary notation to a decimal notation and vice versa." Nooten also commented that "He (Pingala) may well have been the originator of the system." Weights found at Mohenjo-Daro, Harappa, and other sites show a remarkable accuracy and follow a binary system: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and up to 12,800 units. THE PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM: **************************************** The so-called Pythagorean Theorem - the square of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides- which was worked out earlier by the Indian mathematician, Baudhayana in 'Baudhayana Sulba Sutra', a treatise dating back to approx. 3000 BCE. He described it as "the area produced by the diagonal of a rectangular is equal to the sum of the area produced by it on two sides." Harappan archaeology confirms that the so called Pythagorean theorem was known and applied as early as 3000 BCE. Several massive structures and lengthy streets of the town were laid out using perfect perpendicular and parallel lines.

THE VALUE OF Pi: ********************** The ration of the circumference to the diameter of a circle is known as 'Pi', which gives its value as 3.14592657932. The old Sanskrit text of 'Baudhayana Sulbha Sutra' of 3000 BCE mentions this ratio as approx. equal to 3. Aryabhatta in 499 BCE worked out the value of Pi to the 4th decimal place, as 3(177/1250) = 3.1416. Centuries later, in 825 AD, the Arab mathematician, Mohammed Ibna Musa said that this value 62832/20000 has been given by the Hindus. MEASUREMENT OF TIME: ******************************** In 'Surya Siddhanta', Bhaskaracharya (1500 years ago) calculates the time for the earth to orbit the Sun to 9 decimal places (365.258756484). The modern accepted measurement is 365.2596 days. Between Bhaskaracharya's ancient measurement and the modern measurement, the difference is only 0.00085 days (0.0002%). India has given the world the idea of the smallest and the largest measure of time, from Krati (34,000th of a second) to Kalpa (4.32 billion years). Other measurements of time include Truti (300th of a second), Vipal (two-fifths of a second), Pal (24 seconds), Ghasi (24 minutes), Hora (hour), Divas (day), Saptah (week), Maas (month), Rutu (season), Varsha (year), Shataabada (Century), Sahasraabada (Millenium), and Yug (432 Millenia), and Mahayug (4,320,000 years). ASTRONOMY: ***************** In India the first references to the astronomy are to be found in the Rig Veda which dates back to around 6500 BCE. The five planets are mentioned in the Rig Veda (1105.10) and Brhaspati (Jupiter) is referred in RV 4.50.4 and Vena (Venus) is mentioned in RV 10.123. Ved Vyasa is considered to be a great teacher of Astronomy. Prof. S.Kak in his research book 'The Astronomical Code of the Rig Veda' has clearly shown the composition of the Rig Veda based on astronomy. The ancient Indian astronomers had calculated the circumference of the Earth to be 5000 Yojanas (one Yojana = 7.2 KMs) which is equivalent to 36000 Kms. This is quite close to the actual circumference known today. The great Indian astronomer, Aryabhata propounded the Heliocentric Theory of Gravitation, this predating Copernicus by almost one thousand years. Aryabhata Magnum Opus, the Aryabhata was translated into Latin in the 13th Century from which the European mathematicians got to know methods for calculating the areas of triangles, volumes of spheres as well as square and cube roots. Aryabhata stated that the Earth revolves around the Sun using the following specific words: "Just as a person travelling in a boat feels that the trees on the bank are moving, people on the earth feel that the Sun is moving." In his treatise "Aryabhateem" he clearly states that our earth is round, rotates on its axis, orbits the Sun and is suspended in space." Law of Gravity: ***************** The law of gravity was known to the ancient Indian astronomer, Bhaskaracharya. In his "Surya Siddhanta" he notes, "Object fall on earth due to force of attraction by the Earth. Therefore, the earth, planets, constellations, Moon and Sun are held in orbit by this attraction." It was not until the late 17th Century (in 1687), 1200 years later, Sir Isaac Newton was given the credit for discovering (i.e. re-discovering) the Law of Gravity. ****************************************************************************** Astronomy, Computer Science and Mathematics in Ancient India

Some quotes: Arya bhatta's "the length of a solar year as 365.358 days were also extremely accurate by the standards of the next thousand years". Astronomical time spans: The notion of of time spans that are truly gigantic by modern standards are rarely found in ancient civilizations as the notion of large number is rare commodity. Apart from the peoples of the Mayan civilization, the ancient Hindus appear to be the only people who even thought beyond a few thousand years. In the famed book Cosmos, physicist-astronomer-teacher Carl Sagan writes "... The dates on Mayan inscriptions also range deep into the past and occasionally far into the future. One inscription refers to a time more than a million years ago and another perhaps refers to events of 400 million years ago, ... The events memorialized may be mythical, but the time scales are pridigious". Hindu scriptures refer to time scales that vary from ordinary earth day and night to the day and night of the Brahma that are a few billion earth years long. Sagan continues, "A millennium before Europeans were wiling to divest themselves of the Biblical idea that the world was a few thousand years old, the Mayans were thinking of millions and the Hindus billions" Modern adaptations of ancient Hindu theories A brand new theory -- that of a "CYCLIC MODEL", developed by Princeton University's Paul Steinhardt and Cambridge University's Neil Turok, made its highest-profile appearance yet in April 2002, on Science Express, the Web site for the journal Science. But past incarnations of the idea have been hotly debated within the cosmological community from 2001. A jist of the claims can be found here. The PDF preprint of the entire paper can be downloaded from here. The Hindu belief that the Universe has no beginning or end, but follows a cosmic creation and dissolution can be found here. Zero also reached eastwards from India to China, where Chinese scholars Chin Chiu-Shao and Chu Shih-Chieh made use of the same symbol O for a places-based system in the 12th and 13th centuries respectively. From the time of Han (206 to 220 BC), Chinese scholars used a place-value system called the suan zi ("calculation using rods") that was a regular system that used horizontal and vertical lines that used to denote the nine numerals. Ifrah says that "Thus one could be forgiven for assuming that following the links established between India and China at the beginning of the beginning of the first millennium BC, Indian scholars were influenced by Chinese mathematicians to create their own system in an imitation of the Chinese counting method." [See 4] He goes on to argue that in suan zi, the zero appeared at a much later date. Thus the notion of zero helps one to recognize the originality of the Indian mathematicians vis-a-vis their Chinese counterparts. Ifra also establishes that the Chinese scholars overcame the difficulties the absence of zeros caused in trying to represent numbers like 1,270,000 often either using characters of their ordinary counting system (a non-positional system that did not require the use of a zero) or simply by empty spaces. After providing a sequence of clues, [in 4], Ifrah continues "It was only after the eighth century BC, and doubtless due to the influence of the Indian Buddhist missionaries, that Chinese mathematicians introduced the use of zero in the form of a little circle or dot (signs that originated in India),...". Zero reached Europe in the twelfth century when Adelard of Bath translated al-Khwarizmi's works into Latin [See 1]. Fibonacci was one of the main mathematicians who accepted the concepts of zero in Europe. (Leonardo Da Vinci has acknowledged that he found it difficult to understand the concept of zero.) However, it was not until the 17th century that zero found widespread acceptance through a lot of resistance. Regards Sandeep <<<<<>>>>>

Otherwise the US economy would go for a six. So will the global economy. The result will be no different if US consumers begin consuming less.

The world is dependent on US consumption for its growth. By its deepening culture of consumption, the US has habituated the world to feed on US consumption. But as the US needs money to finance its consumption, the world provides the money. It's like a shopkeeper providing the money to a customer so that the customer keeps buying from the shop. The customer > > will not buy, the shop won't have business, unless the shopkeeper funds him. The US is like the lucky customer. And the world is like the helpless shopkeeper financier. Who is America's biggest shopkeeper financier? Japan. Yet it is Japan which is regarded as weak. Modern economists complain that Japanese do not spend, so they do not grow. To force the Japanese to spend, the Japanese government exerted itself. Reduced the savings rates, even charged the savers. Even then the Japanese did not spend. Their traditional postal savings alone is over $1.2billions. that is. Rs.60 lakh crores, about three times the GDP of India. Thus, savings, far from being the strength of Japan, has become its pain. What is the lesson? That is, a nation

Not just spend, but borrow and spend. > >> Dr.Jagdish Bhagwati, the famous Indain-born economist in the US, told Dr.Manmohan Singh that Indians wastefully save. Ask them to spend, he said. On imported cars and, seriously, even on cosmetics! This, he Counseled, will put India on a growth curve. But like Japanese we too are not obliging. Modernists may not, but one who has read the Mahabharatha will, know. A Rishi by name Charuvaka gave the same advice when Pandavas were around, which modern economists are giving today. He told the people to spend and be happy, if need be by borrowing. No need to repay, if you cannot, he counseled. No sin would attach, he assured. > > Fortunately his advice was rejected by us thousands of years back. That is why perhaps we are alive as a nation. Our old companions are in archives today. Now we have the very same advice. That is saving as sin, and spending as virtue. > > This is central to neo-economics. Caution. Before you follow these neo-Charuvakas, get some fools to save so that you can borrow from them and spend, after you exhaust your savings. This is what US has successfully done in last two decades. <<<<<>>>>> Narayan Murthy On Leadership Narayana Murthy, The author is Chairman and Chief Mentor, Infosys Technologies.. A leader is an agent of change, and progress is about change. In the words of Robert F Kennedy, 'Progress is a nice word; but change is its motivator.'

Leadership is about raising the aspirations of followers and enthusing people with a desire to reach for the stars. For instance, Mahatma Gandhi created a vision for independence in India and raised the aspirations of our people. Leadership is about making people say, 'I will walk on water for you.' It is about creating a worthy dream and helping people achieve it. Robert Kennedy, summed up leadership best when he said, 'Others see things as they are and wonder why; I see them as they are not and say why not?' Adversity A leader has to raise the confidence of followers. He should make them understand that tough times are part of life and that they will come out better at the end of it. He has to sustain their hope, and their energy levels to handle the difficult days. There is no better example of this than Winston Churchill. His courageous leadership as prime minister for Great Britain successfully led the British people from the brink of defeat during World War II. He raised his people's hopes with the words, 'These are not dark days; these are great days -- the greatest days our country has ever lived.' Never is strong leadership more needed than in a crisis. In the words of Seneca, the Greek philosopher, 'Fire is the test of gold; adversity, of strong men.'

Values The leader has to create hope. He has to create a plausible story about a better future for the organisation: everyone should be able to see the rainbow and catch a part of it. This requires creating trust in people. And to create trust, the leader has to subscribe to a value system: a protocol for behavior that enhances the confidence, commitment and enthusiasm of the people. Compliance to a value system creates the environment for people to have high aspirations, self esteem, belief in fundamental values, confidence in the future and the enthusiasm necessary to take up apparently difficult tasks. Leaders have to walk the talk and demonstrate their

- 11 -

commitment to a value system. As Mahatma Gandhi said, 'We must become the change we want to see in the world.' Leaders have to prove their belief in sacrifice and hard work. Such behavior will enthuse the employees to make bigger sacrifices. It will help win the team's confidence, help leaders become credible, and help create trust in their ideas. Enhancing trust Trust and confidence can only exist where there is a premium on transparency. The leader has to create an environment where each person feels secure enough to be able to disclose his or her mistakes, and resolves to improve. Investors respect such organisations. Investors understand that the business will have good times and bad times. What they want you to do is to level with them at all times. They want you to disclose bad news on a proactive basis. At Infosys, our philosophy has always been, 'When in doubt, disclose.' Governance Good corporate governance is about maximising shareholder value on a sustainable basis while ensuring fairness to all stakeholders: customers, vendor-partners, investors, employees, government and society. A successful organisation tides over many downturns. The best index of success is its longevity. This is predicated on adhering to the finest levels of corporate governance. At Infosys, we have consistently adopted transparency and disclosure standards even before law mandated it. In 1995, Infosys suffered losses in the secondary market. Under Indian GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles), we were not required to make this information public. Nevertheless, we published this information in our annual report. Fearless environment Transparency about the organisation's operations should be accompanied by an open environment inside the organisation. You have to create an environment where any employee can disagree with you without fear of reprisal. In such a case, everyone makes suggestions for the common good. In the end everyone will be better off. On the other hand, at Enron, the CFO was running an empire where people were afraid to speak. In some other cases, the whistle blowers have been harassed and thrown out of the company. Managerial remuneration We have gone towards excessive salaries and options for senior management staff. At one company, the CEO's employment contract not only set out the model of the Mercedes the company would buy him, but also promised a monthly first-class air ticket for his mother, along with a cash bonus of $10 million and other benefits. Not surprisingly, this company has already filed for bankruptcy. Managerial remuneration should be based on three principles: Fairness with respect to the compensation of other employees; Transparency with respect to shareholders and employees; Accountability with respect to linking compensation with corporate performance. Thus, the compensation should have a fixed component and a variable component. The variable component should be linked to achieving long-term objectives of the firm. Senior management should swim or sink with the fortunes of the company. Senior management compensation should be reviewed by the compensation committee of the board, which should consist only of independent directors. Further, this should be approved by the shareholders. I've been asked, 'How can I ask for limits on senior management compensation when I have made millions myself?'

- 12 -

A fair question with a straightforward answer: two systems are at play here. One is that of the promoter, the risk taker and the capital markets; and the other is that of professional management and compensation structures. One cannot mix these two distinct systems, otherwise entrepreneurship will be stifled, and no new companies will come up, no progress can take place. At the same time, there has to be fairness in compensation: there cannot be huge differences between the top most and the bottom rung of the ladder within an organisation. PSPD model A well run organisation embraces and practices a sound Predictability-SustainabilityProfitability-Derisking (we call this the PSPD model at Infosys) model. Indeed, the long-term success of an organisation depends on having a model that scales up profitably. Further, every organisation must have a good derisking approach that recognises, measures and mitigates risk along every dimension. Integrity Strong leadership in adverse times helps win the trust of the stakeholders, making it more likely that they will stand by you in your hour of need. As leaders who dream of growth and progress, integrity is your most wanted attribute. Lead your teams to fight for the truth and never compromise on your values. I am confident that our corporate leaders, through honest and desirable behaviour, will reap long-term benefits for their stakeholders. Two mottos In conclusion, keep in mind two Sanskrit sentences: Sathyannasti Paro Dharma (there is no dharma greater than adherence to truth); & Satyameva jayate (truth alone triumphs). Let these be your motto for good corporate leadership. Regards Sandeep <<<<<>>>>> IIM MBAs: Wealth creators? Wealth chasers? From the high decibel noise that is being generated about the IIM fee issue, one would think that the whole country's economy depends on the IIM and their products. How relevant are the IIMs really, and what exactly is their contribution to the country? Are the IIMs national treasures, or just private clubs and nose-in-the-air gymkhanas ? Are they doing more harm than good? The IIMs are in the news for the fee cuts in the Post Graduate Program in Management, popularly known as the MBA. Some questions on what the IIM MBA is all about: Does an MBA measure his professional success by how much he earns? An annual ritual (currently on) in all the IIMs is the great tom-tomming of the pay packets of their fresh MBA graduates. How many professions have you heard of where so much noise is made of the starting salary of graduates? If this is how an IIM graduate's success is measured at the start of his career, no wonder he uses money as the measure of his success throughout his career. And this is what his institute has taught him. By this yardstick, if a company is doing badly and its low-paid manager turns it around and makes it profitable, he is less successful than a highly paid manager of an already successful company. If an IIM MBA is ever in the news, it is for how much he earns. Have you ever seen a newspaper headline like 'IIM MBA manages difficult turnaround of sinking company'?

Can only engineers manage? For some strange reason, IIM entrance tests are designed so that you have a greater chance of getting through if you an engineer. Typically, 80% of entrants to IIMs are engineers. Does this mean only engineers can manage? What if you are a lawyer wanting to manage your law firm better, or a journalist wanting to manage your newspaper better, or a biochemist wanting to manage your R&D company better? The IIMs have already decided that you are unfit to be a manager. IIM-B's web site on the contrary says 'candidates from diverse backgrounds are selected.' The MBA course is either designed to impart business skills to engineers, or the entrance tests are flawed. If it is the former, why not make an engineering degree mandatory for admission? If it is the latter, the tests must be redesigned. Why do you need engineers to sell shampoo or manage mutual funds? Typically, 80% IIM entrants are engineers, but only 10% join engineering companies. 90% sell consumer products, manage mutual funds, or join IT companies. When they do their engineering courses, these people obviously have no intention of becoming engineers. They are using their engineering education merely to give them an edge over other competitors at the IIM entrance examination. Incidentally, 30% of them are from IITs and being an IIT-IIM graduate is considered to be a badge of honor. The world over, engineers do an MBA to acquire skills to manage their engineering industry better, not to switch to alternate high paying careers. If the army promotes a raw NDA graduate as a general will you have any faith in it? The NDA teaches a person the theory of fighting and managing the army. After this he typically puts in about 35 years actual fighting on the front, logistics management, man management, etc before he can become a general. If you have started work at the bottom rung in a company (that's if you were not fortunate enough to be the heir to an existing business) you know that it takes a couple of years before you can get a reasonable grasp of what is going on around you. It can be many more years before you are good at the job. Seventy-two percent of IIM-C's graduates in 2004 have no work experience, and 20% have two years experience. After a one-and-a-half year course, the fresh MBA is thought fit to advise company presidents on how to run their business. How can you run a business without knowing what the business is all about? Exposure can never replace experience. Complete coverage: The IIMs controversy Does the IIM turn out hares rather than tortoises? An MBA is never in it for the long haul. He looks for instant personal gains. This is probably the reason why MBAs prefer to work for consumer products, finance and IT companies. You will seldom find them in manufacturing; power or telecom industries, where gestation periods are long and you require perseverance, patience and a long distance vision. The typical tenure of an MBA in a company is 2 to 3 years, while the gestation periods in the these industries are measured in decades. Is an MBA the proverbial rat which deserts the sinking ship? Every business has cycles, and has its ups and downs. The down cycle does not mean that it is sinking. It may happen because of external factors like the country's economy. You are unfit to handle a business if you cannot take the downs with the ups. An MBA is generally known to be a fair weather friend, joining a company on its rising curve and jumping ship when the going gets tough. He is trained by the IIM to be self-centric rather than company-centric.

Why should the government subsidise engineers who sell toothpaste? It is a reasonable assumption to make that an engineer joining an IIM has studied in a government subsidised college, and the government has spent Rs 400,000 on him for the course (Rs 800,000 if he has studied in an IIT. This means the taxpayer is paying for the engineering education of a person who has no intention of using his engineering. This definitely is not the intention of government subsidy of engineering education? Why don't MBAs join manufacturing companies? Manufacturing requires technical knowledge, man management and business sense. It requires dirtying your hands, leading from the front and talking straight. Maybe MBAs are incapable of this? Typically, less than 5% of IIM graduates get into manufacturing. IIM-A's professed aim, in its own words: 'It also aims to professionalise some of the vital sectors of India's economy such as agriculture, education, health, transportation, population control, energy, and public administration.' How many MBAs do you find in these areas? Are IIMs turning out wealth creators or wealth chasers? There are wealth creators, and wealth chasers. A wealth creator has a skill that enables him to create something. An organization develops around this creation, to produce and sell it and make money out of it. The creation could be a newspaper, an automobile, medical services or a thousand other things. The creator must be a highly skilled as a journalist, an automobile engineer, a doctor etc. A typical IIM MBA joins the course after 1 or 2 years of experience in industry. This is not enough to learn a skill to create anything. This is the reason that you rarely find an MBA entrepreneur. Someone else always has to create an organisation, which the MBA is then happy to manage. IIMs are not about creating entrepreneurs, individuals with a passion for ideas, for risk taking. Just 4 the of 209 IIM-B graduates this year plan to start their own enterprises or join their family businesses. Impressed? Are IIMs creating managers or leaders? A leader sets the direction, a manager follows. A manager takes care of where you are. A leader takes you to a new place. It is unlikely that you'll see an IIM MBA taking you to a new place. The professed aim of the IIMs is to create 'world-class business leaders .' They have only succeeded in creating business managers, with 'world class' being debatable. An IIM graduate is unlikely to ever be an Ambani, a Tata or a Birla. So what are the IIMs all about? About branding yourself? About getting placed in a high paying job when you graduate? About converting engineers into non-engineers? About churning out risk-averse job hoppers jumping from one safe ship to another? Are they about education at all? The IIMs want autonomy from the government. Autonomy to do what? They do not seem to be clear about what they want to do. Thanks & Best Regards, Prasad R Goswami

<<<<<>>>>> How To Choose Good Passwords From: "Anil Shende" Date: (Date Unavailable) Subject: Good Passwords You Can Remember! How to pick a good password that is hard to guess or hack and one that you can remember? That is a dilemma we all face on a frequent basis. Good Password Characteristics Good passwords have at least some of the following characteristics: · They are at least 8 characters long. Generally the longer the password the harder it is to break. · Good passwords should be a mix of both alpha and numeric characters. · No words listed in any dictionary should be used. Hackers love this and even a PC can try thousands of dictionary words in seconds. · Passwords should be easy to remember so you don’t have to write them down. Next, we will look at how to create good passwords that can be remembered. How to Create Good Passwords You Can Remember We need good passwords so that they are difficult to break, hack or guess. That way the hacker will go on to someone else and leave you alone. Examples are best: * Random and meaningless character strings or long numbers are hard to break. If you have a very good memory, so you don't have to write it down, these random strings or numbers make good passwords if they are at least 6-8 characters long. Like "abrzxtyn". Problem is even at just 8 characters these strings are hard to remember for most of us. If you have a very good memory go for it, but don't write it down and don't forget it! What if you could take a common number that is easy for you to remember and convert it into a number that is as long as you want and meaningless to anyone else? You can! * Take two words from the dictionary that are at least 4 characters each. I know I said don't use words out of a dictionary – hang on! Now reverse the order of the letters and put them back together. Example – "dump" and "blade" yields "pmud" and "edalb". Now put them together "pmudedalb". Most of us can remember two words with a little effort. * Suppose your street address is 2572 some street, USA. Take the reciprocal i.e. 1/x of the numeric address. 1/2572 = 3.8880248833592534992223950233281e-4. Drop the decimal and take as many digits as the system will allow for your password. Like the first eight digits 38880248. All you have to remember is your street address and 1/X. Now even you don't know your password until you need it! When you are ready to change your password just use the reciprocal with say, your grandma's phone number. * Or how about X^2/squareroot(x) where x is a number you can remember like grandma's phone number. Again drop decimals if need be.

- 16 -

* Oh, by the way since the most of the methods above usually yield long numbersif you need multiple passwords for systems that require or allow different password lengths just use that same long number and take the first x numbers depending on the maximum allowed password for the system. * What a deal! One number you can remember, one little old formula like 1/x and you have lots of passwords and even if you have to do division by hand (who does that anymore) you can always determine the right password. Ok, now if you really want to drive the hackers nuts: * Take that number you can remember and convert it to a different number base like binary, or octal or base 12. Most calculators will handle at least some of these conversions. Take the imaginary phone number of 2254971. Convert it to binary (base 2) 10001001101. That's 11 digits and even though it's only 0's and 1's the hacker has to get those 11 digits in exactly the right order Guessing your phone number does the hacker no good unless he also knows you converted it to binary or base 2. * One more example – suppose you pick a number that you can remember and convert it to base 15 or base 11 or base xx – that number is now C87E66B7. The best of all worlds – characters and numbers, eight places long and totally meaningless to anyone but you unless you write it down somewhere. Now that you have the idea you can create your own methods. Just remember, follow the rules for good passwords and don't share the methodology or function you used to generate your password. Even if they know some of your easy numbers it will be very difficult to determine your password. Most hackers won't waste the time, they will go on to someone else. Now you have passwords you can remember and that meet all or most of the requirements for good passwords. Also, be aware of the ways that your password can be attacked - which is discussed below.

Password Hacks/Attacks There are 4 basic ways to break a password. · Any password can be broken given enough time and computer cycles. This is called a brute force attack. Generally the longer the password the longer it takes to break it! · Dictionary attacks- The hacker just tries all or many of the words in the dictionary usually starting with the short common ones like “cat†, “dog†etc. · Personal attacks – A hacker doesn’t have to know you personally to use this kind of attack. Just your phone number, name, address etc.

· Insider attacks – someone at work sees your password written on a piece of paper, sees you type it in, or heaven forbid you give it to someone. No one can protect you against the last one but you. <<<<<>>>>>

Sanjay Tejwrika Who are the Chief Executives of CitiBank, Mckensey & Stanchart? Victor Menezes, Rajat Gupta, and Rana Talwar. We Indians are the wealthiest among all ethnic groups in America, even faring better than the whites and the natives. There are 3.22 millions of Indians in USA (1.5% of population). YET, 38% of doctors in USA are Indians. 12% scientists in USA are Indians. 36% of NASA scientists are Indians. 34% of Microsoft employees are Indians. 28% of IBM employees are Indians. 17% of INTEL scientists are Indians. 13% of XEROX employees are Indians. 99% of WIPRO employees are Indians You may know some of the following facts. These facts were recently published in a German magazine, which deals with WORLD HISTORY FACTS ABOUT INDIA. 01. India never invaded any country in her last 1000 years of history. 02. India invented the Number system. Aryabhatta invented 'zero.' 03. The world's first University was established in Takshila in 700BC. More than 10,500 students from all over the world studied more than 60 subjects. The University of Nalanda built in the 4th century BC was one of the greatest achievements of ancient India in the field of education. 04. According to the Forbes magazine, Sanskrit is the most suitable language for computer software. 05. Ayurveda is the earliest school of medicine known to humans. 06. Although western media portray modern images of India as poverty striken and underdeveloped through political corruption, India was once the richest empire on earth. 07. The art of navigation was born in the river Sindh 5000 years ago. The very word "Navigation" is derived from the Sanskrit word NAVGATIH. 08. The value of pi was first calculated by Budhayana, and he explained the concept of what is now known as the Pythagorean Theorem. British scholars have last year (1999) officially published that Budhayan's works dates to the 6th Century, which is long before the European mathematicians.

09. Algebra, trigonometry and calculus came from India. Quadratic equations were by Sridharacharya in the 11th Century; the largest numbers the Greeks and the Romans used were 106 whereas Indians used numbers as big as 1053. 10. According to the Gemmological Institute of America, up until 1896, India was the only source of diamonds to the world. 11. USA based IEEE has proved what has been a century-old suspicion amongst academics that the pioneer of wireless communication was Professor Jagdeesh Bose and not Marconi. 12. The earliest reservoir and dam for irrigation was built in Saurashtra. 13. Chess was invented in India. 14. Sushruta is the father of surgery. 2600 years ago he and health scientists of his time conducted surgeries like caesareans, cataract, fractures and urinary stones. Usage of anaesthesia was well known in ancient India. 15. When many cultures in the world were only nomadic forest dwellers over 5000 years ago, Indians established Harappan culture in Sindhu Valley (Indus Valley Civilisation). 16. The place value system, the decimal system was developed in India in 100 BC. Quotes about India. We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made. Albert Einstein. India is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend and the great grand mother of tradition. Mark Twain. If there is one place on the face of earth where all dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India. French scholar Romain Rolland. India conquered and dominated China culturally for 20 centuries without ever having to send a single soldier across her border. Hu Shih. (Former Chinese ambassador to USA) ALL OF THE ABOVE IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG, THE LIST COULD BE ENDLESS. BUT, if we don't see even a glimpse of that great India in the India that we see today, it clearly means that we are not working up to our potential; and that if we do, we could once again be an ever shining and inspiring country setting a bright path for rest of the world to follow. I hope you enjoyed it and work towards the welfare of INDIA. Say proudly, I AM AN INDIAN.

<<<<<>>>>> How To Identify Internet Hoaxes From: "Tushar" Date: Thu Mar 3, 2005 8:15 am Subject: Re: DO NOT RE-USE MINERAL WATER BOTTLES Hello Group, Internet is a too misleading area, people are always in search to spread sensitive but fake messages. It is always better to search for more material if you find something really sensitive. Chances are you will get additional information about the authenticity of the text on net the very next second you try searching it on See the following article source: (11/15/2003) If you believe everything that is forwarded to you via e-mail, you'd think that our growing dependence on plastics could be setting the stage for a widespread health epidemic. Here's another 'important warning' that's chock-full of unjustified alarm and misinformation. SAMPLE CHAIN LETTER TEXT And I thought that I was being an environmentalist for using my Aboslute bottle for months now. Darn! POISONING FROM RE-USE OF PLASTIC BOTTLES Dear all, Some of you may be in the habit of using and re-using your disposable water bottles (Wilkins, Viva, etc), keeping them in your car or at work. Not a good idea. See any of the following articles and they'll tell you why. www.algonquinc.on.ca/times/news5.html In a nutshell, the plastic (called polyethylene terephthalate or PET) used in these bottles contains a potentially carcinogenic element (something called diethylhydroxylamine or DEHA). The bottles are safe for one use only; if you must keep them longer, it should be or no more than a few days, a week max, and keep them away from heat as well. Repeated washing and rinsing can cause the plastic to break down and the carcinogens can leach into the water that YOU are drinking. Better to invest in water bottles that are really meant for multiple uses. This is not something we should be scrimping on. Take care. -------------------"Many are unaware of poisoning caused by re-using plastic bottles. Some of you may be in the habit of using and re-using your disposable mineral water bottles (eg. Evian, Aqua, Ice Mountain, Vita, etc), keeping them in your car or at work. Not a good idea.

Repeated washing and rinsing can cause the plastic to break down and the carcinogens (cancercausing chemical agents) can leach into the water that YOU are drinking. Better to invest in water bottles that are really meant for multiple uses. This is not something we should be scrimping on. Those of you with family - to please advise them, especially children." Regards Graham Bauer Workplace Health and Safety Officer Department of Natural Resources and Mines Jan Martin Crown Lands NSW END CHAIN LETTER TEXT At first glance, this one appears quite similar to an earlier chain letter, warning against microwaving food in plastic containers. Like its predecessor, we find this one to be based on little more than theory and jam-packed with misinterpretations of the facts. Also like its predecessor, this one has roots in media coverage of one person's unsupported hypothesis. The idea that reusing plastic bottles can cause compounds in the plastic to break down into carcinogenic substances comes from a 2001 Master's Thesis by a student at the University of Idaho. Despite the fact that the thesis was not subject to peer review and, thus, lacking any degree of scientific authority, several media outlets picked up on it and ran the typical "what-you-don'tknow-can-kill-you" stories. According to the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA), "DEHA, as mentioned in the email is neither regulated nor classified as a human carcinogen. Further, DEHA is not inherent in PET plastic as raw material, byproduct or decomposition product. DEHA has been cleared by FDA for food contact applications and would not pose a health risk even if present." The IBWA goes on to suggest that the student's findings could be the result of normal laboratory contamination: "DEHA is a common plasticizer used in many plastic items, many of which are found in the lab setting. For this reason, the student's detection (see comment above) is likely to have been the result of inadvertent lab contamination." While the Environmental Protection Agency had earlier labeled DEHA a toxic chemical, they reclassified it due to a lack of evidence. It is true that many organizations and bottled water companies recommend against reusing their packaging, but the rationale is far less life-threatening. Rather, they caution that most bottles are not sufficiently cleaned and dried before refilling to prevent possible bacterial contamination. Graham Bauer and Jan Martin have nothing to do with this warning other than they received it or heard the rumor themselves and passed it on, inadvertently adding their identity to the notes. The possibility of this type of "False Attribution Syndrome," combined with the relative unreliability of the medium, is why BreakTheChain.org recommends strongly against relying upon or forwarding health-related information via e-mail chain letters. Break this chain. Tushar

Pi day (source: ) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. There are two days held in honour of the mathematical constant Ï€ (Pi ): Pi Day and Pi Approximation Day. Pi day March 14 , written 3/14 in the USA date format, is the official day for Pi day derived from the common three-digit approximation for the number Ï€: 3.14. It is usually celebrated at 1:59 PM (in recognition of the six-digit approximation: 3.14159). Some, using a twenty-four-hour clock rather than a twelve hour clock, say that 1:59 PM is actually 13:59 and celebrate it at 1:59 AM instead. Parties have been held by mathematics departments of various schools around the world. This day has been celebrated in a variety of ways. Groups of people, typically pi clubs, give thought to the role that the number Ï€ has played in their lives and imagine the world without Ï€. During such an event, pi celebrants may devise alternative values for Ï€, eat pi (pie ), play pi (piñata ), or drink pi (piña colada ). The "ultimate" pi day occurred on March 14th, 1592, at 6:54 AM. When written in Americanstyle date format, this is 3/14/1592 6:54, which corresponts to the ten-digit approximation of pi: 3.141592654. However, considering this was well before any kind of standardized world time had been established, and the general population, excluding mathematicians, scholars, etc, had no concept of Ï€, the holiday went unnoticed. Pi Approximation Day Pi Approximation Day is one of two days: either July 22 (written 22/7 — 22 divided by 7 is an approximation to Ï€ — in some date formats), or April 26 , the day on which planet Earth completes approximately two Astronomical units ' worth of its annual orbit : on this day the total length of Earth's orbit, divided by the length already travelled, equals Ï€. links • The Ridiculously Enhanced Pi Page (http://www.exploratorium.edu/learning_studio/pi/) • Pi Day in Maine with Dr. Wilson's Memory Elixir (http://www.memoryelixir.com/archive4.html#pi/) • Friends of Pi – Freunde der Zahl Pi (http://pi314.at/) • One Million Digits of Pi!!!

How much do you know about Mumbai? Mumbai has the Largest Zopadpatti (slum) in Asia. Motorised taxis first appeared first on Mumbai roads in 1911. Mumbai singlehandedly handles about 25% of the domestic and 38% of the international air passenger traffic in the country. Mumbai's suburban rail systems carry a total of 2.2 billion passengers every year. Incidentally, the world's population is 6 billion. Mumbai's literacy rate is 85.6% (female: 82.7%, male: 90%) compared with India's overall literacy of 65.4%. Mumbai's per capital income is Rs 48,954. This is almost three times the national average! At the end of financial year 2002-03, Mumbai paid Rs 28,000 crore in taxes, 35% of India's collection of Rs 82,000 crore! Mumbai city and its suburbs get, on an average, 2160 mm (85 inches) of rainfall every year. As of June 2003, there are an incredible 982 villages in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. The original Walkeshwar Temple was destroyed by the Portuguese, but was rebuilt by Rama Kamath in 1715. Bombay University was founded in 1857 at the Town Hall, and was shifted to the new complex near Oval Maidan in 1874.

Heisenbug is a term used in software programming to describe a computer bug that disappears or alters its characteristics when it is researched. A common example are bugs that occur in a release-mode compile of a program but do not occur when researched under debug-mode, or some bugs caused by a race condition. The name is a pun on the physics term "Heisenberg Uncertainty principle", which is popularly believed to refer to the way observers affect the observed in quantum mechanics.

Origin and history of Marathi. (A very short essay) Marathi can be traced back far beyond the 10th century. It descends from Sanskrit through Pali, Maharashtri and Maharashtra - Apabhramsa. A gradual process of change and modification in the spoken language has led to the rise of the present Marathi. The origin and growth of Marathi literature is indebted to two important events. The first was the rise of the Jadhava dynasty whose capital was Devgiri. The Jadhava’s adopted Marathi as the court language and patronized Marathi learned men. The second event was the coming of two religious sects known as Mahanubhav Panth and Warkari Panth which adopted Marathi as the medium for preaching their doctrines of devotion. Writers of the Mahanubhav sect contributed to Marathi prose while the saint-poets of Warkari sect composed Marathi poetry. However, the latter group is regarded as the pioneers and founders of Marathi literature. Marathi literature first made its appearance in the 10th century AD and can be grouped into two ages: Ancient or Old Marathi literature (1000-1800) and Modern Marathi Literature (1800 onwards). The former consisted mainly of poetry composed in metres and restricted to the poet’s choice of words and rhythms. It was particularly devotional, narrative and pessimistic. for old Marathi poets hadn’t been able to develop satire, parody, irony and humor into their poetry. Old Marathi Literature covers about eight centuries. Its pioneers and founders were Mukundaraj (Vivekasindhu) and Dnyaneshwar (Dnyaneshwari) whose younger contemporary Namdeo (12701350) wrote devotional verses in a simple language for the people. Two centuries later came the great saint and greater poet Eknath whose Ekanathi Bhagavata is a literary masterpiece of Marathi literature. Eknath had a simple and attractive style of composing poetry and was the founder of secular poetry in Marathi. Mukteshwar (1574-1645) later developed this style, and his version of the Mahabharata is the best example of a great narrative poem in Marathi. In the history of Marathi literature, Tukaram (1608-1651) has been given a unique stature. A real genius, Tukaram’s poetry came forth from his wonderful inspirations. He was a radical reformer and has often been called Sant (saint) Tukaram. Terseness, clarity, vigor and earnestness were found in every line of his poetry. Tukaram’s associate Ramdas’ (1608-1681) Dasabodha is an inspiring and impressive piece in Marathi. 18th century poetry is well represented by Vaman Pandit (Yathartha Dipika), Raghunath Pandit (Nala Damayanti Swayamvara) and Shridhar Pandit (Pandavpratap, Harivijay and Ramvijay). However, the most versatile and voluminous writer among the poets was Moropanta (1729-1794) whose Mahabharata was the first epic poem in Marathi. The historical section of the old Marathi literature was unique as it contained both prose and poetry. The prose section contained the Bakhars that were written after the foundation of the Maratha kingdom by Shivaji. The poetry section contained the Padavas and the Katavas composed by the Shahirs. The period from 1794 to 1818 is regarded as the closing period of the Old Marathi literature and the beginning of the Modern Marathi literature. The modern period has been divided into four ages. The first period starts from 1800 to 1885, the second from 1885 to 1920, the third from 1921 to 1945, and finally the last period continues till now. In this period, almost all forms of literature in prose and poetry were developed and even scientific literature was produced. Under the British rule, attempts were made to enrich both the language and literature. The Raja of Tanjore got the first English Book translated to Marathi in 1817. Several more such attempts were made and translation work was encouraged a lot. Chhatre, Bal Shastri Jambhekar, Lokahitavadi and Jotiba Phule wrote on various topics in Marathi. The first Marathi newspaper was started in 1835, and Baba Padamji’s Yamuna Paryatan was the first Marathi novel written on social reform in 1857.

However, this period was a lean one for original poetry and only translations of Sanskrit poems were produced. Establishment of the University of Bombay in 1858 and the starting of the newspaper Kesari in 1880-81 gave a boost to the development of Modern Marathi Literature. Keshavasuta (1866-1905), the first Marathi revolutionary poet, launched Modern Marathi poetry with his first poem. In this period two groups of poets, Ravikiran Mandal and Kavi Tambi, together encouraged some great poets like Ananta Kanekar (Chandarat), Kavi Anil (Phulwat) and N G Deshpande. Poetry after 1945 explores human life in all its shades. B S Mardhekar set the fashion of this trend for P S Rage, Vinda Karandikar, Vasant Bapat and Shanta Shelke. Vishnudas Bhave was the pioneer of Marathi drama which was born in 1843. Other great dramatists were B P Kirloskar (Saubhadra), G B Deval (Sharada), R G Gadkari (Ekach Pyala), Mama Varerkar (Apporva Bangal) and P L Deshpande (Amaldar). Marathi stage is still following its rich tradition and is a very popular form of entertainment. Novels were not far behind, and the first to be published was ‘Madhali Sthiti’ by Hari Narayan Apte (1864-1919). Natha Madhav, CV Vaidya, Prof V M Joshi, V S Khandekar, Sane Guruji, Kusumvati Deshpande, Kamalabai Tilak are the prominent novelists of the Marathi language. The short story and essay forms came into existence in this period through Diwakar Krishna, H N Apte and V S Gurjar. S M Mate, Durga Bhagwat, N S Phadke are well-known essayists in Marathi, a rich language in all its forms and branches with a history of over a thousand years. It occupies a distinct position in the field of Indian Literature and will continue to do so even in the near future.

About Languages Hi everybody, By chance today I had a useful discussion with a scholar from Canada who is studying Mahabharata and Sanskrit. He mentioned that around 100 years back Heebru script and language was about to vanish from Israil and it was not used as mother tounge there but some people from Israil they started working to preserve it and they have succeeded in their endevor as now it has become a first language of Israil. Original Bible was written in Heebru script which is still followed by Jue people. He added that it is just like how in India some people are trying to preserve Sanskrit. Now as well nobody has Sanskrit as their mother tounge though our ancient scriptures (Vedas, Upanishadas, Shrimat Bhagavat Geeta Ramayana, Mahabharata etc) are written in Sanskrit. I told him about a couple of villages in Karnataka e.g Uttan where everybody speaks Sanskrit. But Sigh !! What about our other different languages? We have so much to preserve and so much work to do. He felt bad about vanishing the native languages in Canada, Australia where natives are called aborginals and not well treated. He also has an europian origin but still he feels that ancient languages and scripts must be preserved as it contains much beauty. He knows Heebru script, Greek and Devnagari along with Roman. He mentioned about Indians in Canada who can't speak their mother tounge or Hindi properly so they speak English at home. Sigh!! Though Greece is a member of europian union they have their own language and script which dominates English in all aspects. In fact English is derived from Latin and Greek languages with Roman script. It doesn't have any original thing of its own but still it is dominating al over the world. In one of our course sessions when I wrote Devnagari (Marathi) on BB (other scripts like Chines, Greek and Roman were also written on BB) and you will not believe everybody was amazed by looking at our script. It was looking really devine.....the meaningful to the word "Devnagari". If we really find evidences we have much more consistency in prononciation and writing. I really enjoy such discussions with the international community here as it is helpful in enriching and evolving myself more.............The more I am getting information about other cultures the more I feel the greatness and the truth in....."Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam"!! and feel proud of our culture as well as respect for other cultures. Just for curiosity you can do googal search for the existed scripts in the world and you will have some insight. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------BE AND MAKE --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Aparna Graduate Student, Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge,UK <<<<<>>>>>

Thomas Alwa Edison invented gramophone in the 19 th century. Edison, who had invented many other gadgets like incandescent lamp, had become a legend even in his own time. When he invented the gramophone record, which could record human voice for posterity, he wanted to record the voice of an eminent scholar on his first piece. He chose Prof. Max Muller of England, another great personality of the 19 th century. He wrote to Max Muller saying, “I want to meet you and record your voice, when should I come?” Max Muller, who had great respect for Edison, asked him to come on a suitable time when most of the scholars of the Europe would be gathering in England. Accordingly, Edison took a ship and went to England. He was introduced to the audience. All cheered Edison’s presence. Later, at the request of Edison, Max Muller came on the stage and spoke in front of the instrument. Then Edison went back to his laboratory and by afternoon came back with a disc. He played the gramophone disc from his

instrument. The audience was thrilled to here the voice of Max Muller from the instrument. They were glad that voice of great persons could be stored for the benefit of posterity. After several rounds of applause and congratulations to Thomas Alwa Edison, Max Muller came to the stage and addressed the scholars and asked them, “ you heard my original voice in the morning. Then you heard the same voice coming out from this instrument in the afternoon. Do you understand what I had said in the morning or what you heard in the afternoon?” The audience fell silent because they could not understand the language in which Max Muller had spoken. It was ‘Greek and Latin’ to them as they say. But had it been Greek or Latin, they would have definitely understood because they were from various parts of Europe. It was in a language, which the European scholars had never heard. Max Muller then explained what he had spoken. He said that the language he spoke was Sanskrit and it was the first sloka of Rig Veda, which says “Agni Meele Purohitam”. This was the first recorded public version on the gramophone plate. Why did Max Muller choose this? Addressing the audience he said, “Vedas are the oldest text of the human race. And Agni Meele Purohitam is the first verse of Rig Veda. In the most primordial time when the people of Europe were jumping like chimpanzees from tree to tree and branch to branch, when they did not know how to cover their bodies but with fig leaves, did not know agriculture and lived by hunting and lived in caves, at that remote past, Indians had attained high civilization and they gave to the world universal philosophies in the form of the Vedas.” According to Max Muller, Vedas are the oldest texts of the human race. Thus, the antiquity of the Vedas is appreciated by Max Muller and HMV.---The HMV passage goes on to say that Max Muller asked Edison to play this passage once again, this time when Agni Meele Purohitam was re-played, the entire audience stood up in silence as a mark of respect for the ancient Hindu sages, this time there were no claps and there was only a mark of respect. Dr. Albert Einstein was also a passionate follower of Hindu philosophy. “We owe a lot to Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made. I have made the Gita as the main source of my inspiration and guide for the purpose of scientific investigations and formation of my theories.” Said Albert Einstein.

From: "Prit S" <prits_17@h...> Date: Sun Oct 13, 2002 4:24 am Subject: good quotes things which u should always remember in life Everything is okay in the end. If it's not okay, then it's not the end. Most people walk in and out of your life, But only friends leave footprints in your heart. Love starts with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a tear. Don't cry over anyone who won't cry over you. If love isn't a game, why are there so many players? Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget. You can only go as far as you push. The hardest thing to do is watch the one you love, love somebody else. Don't let the past hold you back. You're missing the good stuff Life's short. Look around once in a while so you don't miss it. A best friend is like a four leaf clover, hard to find and lucky to have Best friends are the siblings God forgot to give us. When it hurts to look back, and you're scared to look ahead, you can look beside you and your best friend will be there. Good friends are like stars.... You don't always see them, but you know they are always there. Don't frown. You never know who is falling in love with your smile. What do you do when the only person who can make you stop crying is the person who made you cry? Nobody is perfect until you fall in love with them. >Someone whom you reject today, will reject you tomorrow >There are two types of people--those who come into a room and say, 'Well, >here I am!' and those who come in and say, 'Ah, there you are.' >He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a >fool forever. >A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a >song. >Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still. >The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without >trials. >The palest ink is better than the best memory. >Trust yourself. Think for yourself. Act for yourself. Speak for yourself. Be >yourself. Imitation is suicide.

>You have to recognize when the right place and the right time fuse and take >advantage of that opportunity. There are plenty of opportunities out there. >You can't sit back and wait. >To know the road ahead, ask those coming back. > Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome. Arguing with your Boss is like wrestling with a pig in mud. After a while you realize that while you are getting dirty, the pig is actually enjoying it. Help a man when he is in trouble and he will remember you when he is in trouble again. Complex problems have simple, easy to understand wrong answers. It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving. Behind every successful woman, is a man who is surprised. Whoever said money can't buy happiness, didn't know where to shop. Alcohol doesn't solve any problems, but then again, neither does milk. Most people are only alive because it is illegal to shoot them. I'm not a complete idiot, there're still some parts missing! Forgive your enemies but remember their names The number of people watching you is directly proportional to the stupidity of your action. I remember the time I was kidnapped and they sent a piece of my finger to my father. - He said he wanted more proof.

FRIENDSHIP AND LOVE Love starts with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a tear. Don't cry over anyone who won't cry over you. Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget. You can only go as far as you push. Actions speak louder than words. The hardest thing to do is watch the one you love, love somebody else. Don't let the past hold you back; you're missing the good stuff. Life's short. If you don't look around once in a while, you might miss it. A best friend is like a four leaf clover: hard to find and lucky to have. If you think that the world means nothing, think again. You might mean the world to someone else. When it hurts to look back, and you're scared to look ahead, you can look beside you and your best friend will be there True friendship never ends. Friends are forever. Good friends are like stars....You don't always see them, but you know they are always there. Don't frown. You never know who is falling in love with your smile. What do you do when the only person who can make you stop crying is the person who made you cry? NOBODY IS PERFECT UNTIL YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH THEM. (Isn't that the truth?) Everything is okay in the end. If it's not okay, then it's not the end.

Manasee Chandorkar Anger is a condition in which the tongue works faster than the mind. You can't change the past, but you can ruin the present by worrying over the future. Love...and you shall be loved. God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with Him. All people smile in the same language. A hug is a great gift... one size fits all. It can be given for any occasion and it's easy to exchange. Everyone needs to be loved... especially when they do not deserve it. The real measure of a man's wealth is what he has invested in eternity. Laughter is God's sunshine. Everyone has beauty but not everyone sees it. It's important for parents to live the same things they teach. Thank God for what you have, TRUST GOD for what you need.

If you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for. Man looks at outward appearance but the Lord looks within. The choice you make today will usually affect tomorrow. Take time to laugh, for it is the music of the soul. If anyone speaks badly of you, live so none will believe it. Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears. Love is strengthened by working through conflicts together. The best thing parents can do for their children is to love each other. Harsh words break no bones but they do break hearts. To get out of a difficulty, one usually must go through it. We take for granted the things that we should be giving thanks for. Love is the only thing that can be divided without being diminished. Happiness is enhanced by others but does not depend upon others. For every minute you are angry with someone, you lose 60 seconds of happiness that you can never get back. Do what you can, for who you can, with what you have, and where you are. Manoj kulkarni .... The man who goes alone can start today, but he who travels with another must wait till that other is ready. --Henry David Thoreau Stop worrying about the potholes in the road and enjoy the journey. --Babs Hoffman The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page. --Augustine (354-430) Man always travels along precipices... His truest obligation is to keep his balance. --Pope John Paul II If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light.

This quote was made after Ganguly called Dravid for a run and midway sent him back and Dravid was run out in the third test against the West Indies at Barbados."Ganguly has thrown a drowning man both ends of the rope." 5. Sri Lankan score is running like an Indian taximeter. 6. Statistics are like miniskirts, they reveal more than what they hide. 7. Wickets are like wives - you never know which way they will turn! 8.

9. The Indians are going to beat the Kiwis! Let me tell you, my friend that the Kiwi is the only bird in the whole world, which does not have wings! 10. As uncomfortable as a bum on a porcupine. 11. The ball whizzes past like a bumble-bee and the Indians are in the sea. 12. The Indians are finding the gaps like a pin a haystack. 13. The pitch is as dead as a dodo. 14. Deep Dasgupta is as confused as a child is in a topless bar! 15. The way Indian wickets are falling reminds of the cycle stand at Rajendra Talkies in Patiala one falls and everything else falls! 16. Indian team without Sachin is like giving Kiss without a Squeeze. 17. You cannot make Omelets without breaking the eggs. 18. Deep Dasgupta is not a Wicket Keeper, he is a goalkeeper. He must be given a free transfer to Manchester United. 19. He will fight a rattlesnake and give it the first two bites too. 20. One, who doesn't throw the dice, can never expect to score a six. 21. This quote was made after Eddie Nichols, the third umpire, ruled Shivnarine Chanderpaul 'NOT OUT' in the second test at Port of Spain T&T "Eddie Nichols is a man who cannot find his own buttocks with his two hands." 22. Anybody can pilot a ship when the sea is calm. 23. Nobody travels on the road to success without a puncture or two. 24. You got to choose between tightening your belt or losing your pants. 25. The cat with gloves catches no mice. 26. Age has been perfect fire extinguisher for flaming youth. 27. You may have a heart of gold, but so does a hard-boiled egg. 28. He is like a one-legged man in a bum kicking competition. 29. The third umpires should be changed as often as nappies and for the same reason. 30. Kumble's bowling at the moment is flat as a Dosa.

"If once a man indulges himself in murder, very soon he comes to think little of robbing; and from robbing he next comes to drinking and Sabbath-breaking, and from that to incivility and procrastination." - Thomas De Quincey (1785 - 1859) "Know your Limitations and be Content with them. Too much Ambition results in Promotion to a job you can't do!" - Anonymous When I was born I was so surprised I didn't talk for a year and a half. If your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either. Join the army, see the world, meet interesting people, and kill them. Until I was 13, I thought my name was 'Shut Up.' Remember, today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. I'm not afraid to die. I just don't want to be there when it happens. Always and never are two words you should always remember never to use. Is man one of God's blunders or is God one of man's blunders? I've never been drunk, but often I've been over served. I never drink anything stronger than gin before breakfast. I'm on a whisky diet. I've lost three days already! The road to success is always under construction. With lots of love & best wishes, - Mandar When you love someone, I believe you should be unselfish enough to give them whatever they want. A compromise is the art of dividing a cake in such a way that everyone believes he has the biggest piece. -- Ludwig Erhard Honesty is the best image. -- Tom Wilson, Ziggy (comic) Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul. -- Marilyn Monroe It only takes 20 years for a liberal to become a conservative without changing a single idea. -- Robert Anton Wilson hope u liked them....... bye n hav a nyce smyling time munndaar(mandar) Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others. -- Groucho Marx We don't know a millionth of one percent about anything. -- Thomas A.

Hence the fact that many inventions had their birth as toys. -- Eric Hoffer

Huxley I am extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end. -- Margaret Thatcher, in Observer April 4, 1989 The remarkable thing about Shakespeare is that he really is very good, in spite of all the people who say he is very good. -- Robert Graves

My favorite thing about the Internet is that you get to go into the private world of real creeps without having to smell them. -- Penn Jillette, in a Compuserve chat Acting is not being emotional, but being able to express emotion. -- Kate Reid Golf and sex are about the only things you can enjoy without being good at. -- Jimmy Demaret In this business you either sink or swim or you don't. -- David Smith Both the cockroach and the bird would get along very well without us, although the cockroach would miss us most. -- Joseph Wood Krutch To do just the opposite is also a form of imitation. -- Georg Christoph Lichtenberg It is a great ability to be able to conceal one's ability. -- Francois de La Rochefoucauld. The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age. -- Lucille Ball Oil prices have fallen lately. We include this news for the benefit of gas stations, which otherwise wouldn't learn of it for six months. -- Bill Tammeus, in Toronto's National Newspaper, 1991 An epigram often flashes light into regions where reason shines but dimly. -- Edwin P.

And love is a thing that can never go wrong; And I am Marie of Roumania. -- Dorothy Parker, Not So Deep as a Well (1937), "Comment" When I was kidnapped, my parents snapped into action. They rented out my room. -- Woody Allen Speak when you are angry--and you will make the best speech you'll ever regret. -- Laurence J. Peter The covers of this book are too far apart. -- Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary u might b thinking that why so many quotes..........but as u know i dont post daily here is the quota.......did u liked them? i'll be happy to listen from U all........n will get a boost for the exams........... bye n have a instant smyle munndaar(mandar) Moderation is a fatal thing. . . . Nothing succeeds like excess. Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much. Woman begins by resisting a man's advances and ends by blocking his retreat. Men always want to be a woman's first love. Women like to be a man's last romance. The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go. One should always play fairly when one has the winning cards. Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months. A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal. A man can't be too careful in the choice of his enemies. A pessimist is one who, when he has a choice of two evils, chooses both. The cynic knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. Bigamy is having one wife too many. Monogamy is the same. Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes. True friends stab you in the front. The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never any use to oneself. I am not young enough to know everything. I love acting. It is so much more real than life. I sometimes think that God in creating man somewhat overestimated his ability. In America, the President reigns for four years, and journalism governs for ever and ever. To lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune... to lose both seems like carelessness. It is better to be beautiful than to be good. But it is better to be good than to be ugly. The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple. One should never trust a woman who tells her real age. If she tells that, she'll tell anything. To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance. The play was a great success, but the audience was a disaster. The public is wonderfully tolerant. It forgives everything except genius. The well-bred contradict other people. The wise contradict themselves. The brain is a wonderful organ. It starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get into the office. * Robert Frost

The trouble with being punctual is that nobody's there to appreciate it. * Franklin P. Jones Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour,and it seems like a minute. THAT'S relativity." * Albert Einstein We must believe in luck. For how else can we explain the success of those we don't like? * Jean Cocturan It's amazing that the amount of news that happens in the world everyday always just exactly fits the newspaper. * Jerry Seinfeld If it were not for Thomas Edison, we would all be watching television in the dark. * Michael Landon Always and never are two words you should always remember never to use. * Wendell Johnson It matters not whether you win or lose; what matters is whether I win or lose. * Darrin Weinberg

Arguing with your Boss is like wrestling with a pig in the mud. After a while you realize that while you are getting dirty, the pig is actually enjoying it...!

SLOW DANCE Have you ever watched kids On a merry-go-round? Or listened to the rain Slapping on the ground? Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight? Or gazed at the sun into the fading night? You better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last. Do you run through each day On the fly? When you ask "How are you?" Do you hear the reply? When the day is done Do you lie in your bed With the next hundred chores Running through your head? You'd better slow down Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last. Ever told your child, We'll do it tomorrow? And in your haste, Not see his sorrow? Ever lost touch, Let a good friendship die Cause you never had time To call and say "Hi"? You'd better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last. When you run so fast to get somewhere You miss half the fun of getting there. When you worry and hurry through your day, It is like an unopened gift.... Thrown away. Life is not a race. Do take it slower Hear the music Before the song is over. Yogesh <<<<< >>>>>

The Birds that never sung... The Flowers that never bloomed... The Rains that never showered... The Wind that never blow... To those forgotten dreams.. To those unseen tears... To those lonely walks... To those silent talks... If the Oceans can tell the depth of love.. If the Mountains can speak the heights of desire.. If the Rivers can share the secrets of a search... And If the Sky can exhibit the reach of a heart.. My love... None of these could possibly tell you The pain that struck my heart When I knew That your sister was more beautiful than you. <<<<< >>>>> Hindunchya Hindustanat Hindu Rashtrala manyata nahi || Kay sangu deva tula?

May I be your endless sky; May you breathe my gentle air. May you never wonder why Each time you look for me, I'm there.? May we be for each a smile Like the warm, life-giving sun; Yet when we're in pain awhile, May our suffering be one. May we share our special days, The happiness of one for two; And if we must go separate ways, Let my love remain with you.

WENT TO A PARTY, MUM I went to a party, And remembered what you said. You told me not to drink, Mom So I had a sprite instead. I felt proud of myself, The way you said I would, That I didn't drink and drive, Though some friends said I should. I made a healthy choice, And your advice to me was right, The party finally ended, And the kids drove out of sight. I got into my car, Sure to get home in one piece, I never knew what was coming, Mom Something I expected least. Now I'm lying on the pavement, And I hear the policeman say, The kid that caused this wreck was drunk, Mom, his voice seems far away. My own blood's all around me, As I try hard not to cry. I can hear the paramedic say, This girl is going to die. I'm sure the guy had no idea, While he was flying high, ! Because he chose to drink and drive, Now I would have to die. So why do people do it, Mom Knowing that it ruins lives? And now the pain is cutting me, Like a hundred stabbing knives. Tell sister not to be afraid, Mom Tell daddy to be brave, And when I go to heaven, Put "Daddy's Girl" on my grave.

Someone should have taught him, That it's wrong to drink and drive. Maybe if his parents had, I'd still be alive. My breath is getting shorter, Mom I'm getting really scared. These are my final moments, And I'm so unprepared. I wish that you could hold me Mom, As I lie here and die. I wish that I could say, "I love you, Mom!" So I love you and good-bye. think. <<<<< >>>>> Station pe ek coolie se bahar jane ka rasta pooncha, Coolie ne kaha "bahar jaake poocho."

But I don't concern myself with that, I took a different vent, I look forward to what life holds, And not what has been spent. So strap me to the engine, As securely as I can be, I want to be out on the front, To see what I can see. I want to feel the winds of change, Blowing in my face, I want to see what life unfolds, As I move from place to place. I want to see what's coming up, Not looking at the past, Life's too short for yesterdays, It moves along too fast. So if the ride gets bumpy, While you are looking back, Go up front, and you may find, Your life has jumped the track. It's all right to remember, That's part of history, But up front's where it's happening, There's so much mystery. The enjoyment of living, Is not where we have been, It's looking ever forward, To another year and ten. It's searching all the byways, Never should you refrain, For if you want to live your life, You gotta drive the train. <<<<< >>>>>

Dear Gautam, Saprem Namaskar, Here is a nice poem for you. Hope you will like it. Regards, Anagha Joshi ....................................................... Come Back I miss you, dear freind, When you were within my reach, I failed to hold on to you. I took you for granted as a tool to get what I wanted. I have hurt you. I made you cry with my words so sharp like a sword, That tore your heart But you were ready to forgive me, and go on, as if nothing has happened. Now that you are miles away, I realize your true worth. My heart yearns for you. I just wanted to see you once, to hear your voice just once. to know that someone cares for me, more than himself Plwase come back and give ma a chance to win you back. ..............................................................................................................

Where carbon dioxide is more than oxygen, Where the road is considered to be a dustbin, Where college canteens are full and classes empty, Where Adam teasing is also making an entry, Where a cycle reaches faster than a car, Where everyone thinks himself to be a star, Where sky scrapers overlook the slum, Where houses collapse as the monoon comes, Where people first act and then think, Where there is more water in the pen than ink, Where the roads see-saw in monsoon, Where the beggars become rich soon, Where the roads are levelled when the minister arrives, Where college admission means hard cash, Where cement is frequently mixed with ash.

Woh Sterlingka popcorn, aur Cotton World mei shopping. Woh fashion Street ka nazaara, aur Nariman Points ki buldinge, Woh cinemaki queue, Woh black ki tickets, Woh Shivaji Parkka maidaan, jahaan practice karte hai cricketers, Itni cheezen kehneke baad aur kitni karoo mei baatei, Ye shehar hai aapka apnaa, Jiskaa naam hai MUMBAI !!!!

Glimpses of a Poem 2 Dear Marathi.NET Friends, Grace name is synonymous to mysterious words. Words with deep meaning and a internal rhythm. We not only get involve in the rhythm but also become overwhelmed with emotions coming from between the lines of the poem. In his book “chandramaadhaveeche Pradesh”, Grace has written a wonderful poem named “paauusgaaNe”. meghaa.nche kosaLatee parvat daree ninaade door gaav chimukaLe vaahoon jaaiil asaa kashaalaa poor Rain when takes the form of flood, it can take away all the things it has given us. Grace has achieved a dramatic effect of fear from the word mountain in the first line of this stanza. Most of the poems written by Grace are picturesque. They create an exact picture of what is happening in from on our eyes. In the third line when he says tiny village, it efficiently expresses the awareness of nature’s power of destruction. Yes in front of this nature we are really trivial, and tiny in size. When we think of our galaxy we get the feeling how small we are and then if we think about our arguments and fights between person and person we can understand how foolish we are. The village is being carried away along water in the flood and the viewer is helpless with numerous question in mind about why me? Why me? Each time I read this poem it creates a strange touchy feeling in me. Ok friends this is for today.

Flowers, Birds, You and Me Flowers I have seen since my birth… Their color Their fragrance Rhythm blended Their dance Flowers I have seen Since my birth… Unexpectedly one day You came with flowers Without a word you smiled Those were wonder hours Since then their appearance Was newer and loving for me Together they all seem As if they’re smiling for me Now I love each flower Just for you Like those pretty moments Every flower seems new Now I have for each flower Sweet blossomy explanations They have developed with me Mysterious hearty relations Birds I have seen Since my birth… Their floating In the air Lively smooth Colorful layer Birds I have seen Since my birth…

Suna hai waqt ke saath halat badal jate hain Insan badal jate hain, jazbat badal jate hain Par tum na badloge, ye aitbar karta hoon Main tumse pyaar karta hoon Main tumse pyaar karta hoon Kai din guzre, tumse bichde Kai pal beete, kai yug beete Kai baar sambhala, khud ko sanam Par thak hi gaye, jeete jeete Khai thi kasam ki lad lenge Duniya walon se, duniya se Par hay jamana jeet gaya na tum jeete, na hum jeete In haseeniyon se pyaar kya karna... In adayon se pyaar kya karna... Yeh Zakhm de kar hasa karti hain.... In bewafayon se pyaar kya karna Kehte hai dekhne se nazar lag jaati hai.... Poonam ki raat mei bahar na nikalna..... Kahee chaand tumhe na dekh le ! Wah wah wah wah...... jise dil diya woh dilli chali gayi jise pyar kiya woh italy chali gayi dil ne kaha khud khushi(suicide) kar le jalim bijali ko haath lagaya to bijali chali gayi wo aaye humari mazaar pe diya bhuja ke chaldiye baaki bacha tel sar pe laga ke chal diye Dil ki lagi kuch asi lagi, hum dil hi gawa bhetain, ye dil ka lagana kya hua ek rog laga bhetain har rahi ko manzil nahi milti, har mujrim ko saza nahi milti, mera bhi khwaish hai TajMahal banane ki, magar har kisi ko Mumtaz nahi milti kal bhi intezaar tha un ka, aaj bhi hai kal thi udaasi unhe paane ki, aaj unhe khokar udaas hai.. Raat ko jalte diye din me Bhuja karte hai Hum to tere pyaar me din raat jala karte hai SHABE RAAT THI AUR GUL KHILATHA AFFTAB PE.... KISI NE KAHA CHAND HAI MENE KAHA CHAHERA TERA.....

aaj phir hatheli per lakiroon ka samunder dekhu la tera haat ki main apna mukkadar dekhu Woh chhum chhum karke aayee, woh chhum chhum karke chalee gayee. main haar leke khada raha woh raakhi baandhke challe gayee Dil diyaa tha dilruba samjh kar... Dil diyaa tha dilruba samjh kar... Kha gayee kameeni kharbuja samajhkar! Phool hilkar padhe huvein hai, koi uttatha kyon nahin... Phool hilkar padhe huvein hai, koi uttatha kyon nahin... Ladki taher ke dekh rahi hai, koi pataatha kyon nahin!

Duniya mein pyaar to sabhi karte hai magar pyaar sabka safal nahi hota Agar pyaar sabka safal hota To pyaar ka pehla shabd adhura nahi hota Likha hai khat tumhe Kuch galat mat samajhna Saali huN tumhari Gharwali mat samajhna Na koi Manzil rahi, na koi raasta, Jab koi tamanna hi na rahi, to zindagi se kya wasta

Tumse mila main kal to, Mere dil mein hua ek sound, Lekin aaj tum mili To kehti ho: Your file not found! Ab aur kaho na tum, "but" ya "if" Tum ho meri zindagi ki animated gif Aysa bhi nahin hai ke, I don't likeyour face Par dil ke computer mein, Nahin hai enough disk space Ghar se nikalti ho tum jab, Pehen ke evening gown Too many requests se, Ho jaata hai server down Tumhaare liye pyaar ki application, Create main karoonga Tum usse debug karna, Wait main karoonga Tumhaara intezaar karte karte, Main so gaya Yeh dekho mera connection, Time out ho gaya Kya chaal hai tumhaari, Jaise chalti hai koi cat What is your ICQ number, Aao karein chat Tum jabse meri zindagi, mein aayi ho banke female, Yaad raha na ab kuch, Na postman , Na e-Mail Joh sadiyaon se hota aaya hai Woh repeat kar doonga... Tu naa mili to tujhko dil sey Ctrl+Alt+Delete kar doonga... Humse Kya Khata Hui Ki message Aanna Band Hai....... Aap hi humse naraz hain ya Web Server band hai.......

Some More Shayaris............... Aap samajhte hai, hamne aapko bhula rakha hai, Aap nahi jaante ki dil mein chupa rakha hai, Dekh naa le koi aapko aankhon mein meri, Is darr se palkon ko jhuka rakha hai Savera kya hua, sitaron ko bhul gaye, Chand kya nikla, suraj ko bhul gaye, Guzre kya kuch pal hamare bina, Aap to hum hi ko bhul gaye ………………… Wo dard hai ke jise sehe sakoon, naa keh paaon, Milega chain to ab jaan se guzarke mujhe …… Gaya phir aaj ka din bhi, udas karke mujhe …… Yaadein teri rakhi hai sambhal kar, durr kahi dil se nikalkar, Sab kuch to wapis le liya hai tumne durr jakar, In yaadon ko bhi le jate tum kisi din aakar Cheers, Radhika Hope You All Like Them ....... Pyaar nahin karna tha humse, dillagi to na ki hoti, ae bewafa beech samundar mein laakar maara, ek kashti to di hoti. Har Taraf khamoshi Ka Saaya Hai, Jise Chahate Hai hum woh ab paraya hai, Gir Pade hai hum mahobbat ki bhukh se, Aur log kehate hai ki pikar aaya hai. Zindagi jaise ek saza si ho gayi hai, gam ke sagar me is kadar kho gayi hai, tum aajao wapis yeh gujarish hai meri.... shayaad mujhe tumari aadat si hogayi hai Dua karte hai hum sar jhukaye …… Ae dost tu apni manzil ko paaye …… Agar kabhi teri rahon mein andhera aaye …… To roshni ke liye khuda hum ko jalaye …… Yaad aye kabhi, to ankhen num na karna, Hum chale bhi jaye, to gum na karna, Ye zaruri nahi, har rishtey ka koi naam ho, Par dosti ka ehsaas dil se kabhi kum na karna …… Radhika
