Good mn!!!

Hi all,
Gm..
Have a wonderful day !!!



Within the suitcase, one sees the silhouette of a television set, and within that, a silhouette of a pig. Here, the reference is to swine flu, which got a lot of media coverage, akin to a media frenzy which eventually had a global impact on tourism, as people avoided traveling to countries where there was even a hint of swine flu reported cases.

Mothi vilayadu

First time i am writing review abt a film..
I usually circulate film review comments thru mails not in blog.. Seeing Raz's blog review abt Vamanan, induced me to post the review..
I wonder how saran directed such a film.. We(Me & husb) expected a lot as it is Saran film.. We watched on the 2nd day of the release of the film.. People were merely laughing each n every scene(Dont dare to think that is due to comedy-nu).. Obviously, due to director's thought in the story..
Dont dare to watch the film, its mere kiddish to see such a film.. Still if u r eager to watch the film, i would request to join only after the intermission,... That too 2 minutes after intermission.. Same old masala stuff in the film.. :))
Do post in ur review if u dare to watch it.. :)))))

Pleasant mng!!!

Hi all,

Jus for fun!!! :-))

If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it was, and always will be yours. If it never returns, it was never yours to begin with.
If it just sits in your room, messes up your stuff, eats your food, uses your phone, takes your money, and never behaves as if you actually set it free in the first place,

You either married it or gave birth to it.

Love,

small words BIG thought!!
A tailor was at work. He took a piece of cloth and with a pair of shining, costly, scissors, he cut the cloth into various bits.
Then he put the pair of scissors at his feet. Then he took a small needle and thread and started to sew the bits of cloth, into a fine shirt. When the spell of sewing was over, he stuck the needle on to his turban.

The tailor's son who was watching it asked him: "Father, the scissors are costly and look so beautiful. But you throw them down at your feet. This needle is worth almost nothing; you can get a dozen for an anna. Yet, you place it carefully on your head itself. Is there any reason for this illogical behaviour?"

"Yes, my son. The scissors have their function, no doubt; but they only cut the cloth into bits. The needle, on the contrary, unites the bits and enhances the value of the cloth. Therefore, the needle to me is more precious and valuable. The value of a thing depends on its utility, son, not on its cost-price or appearance."

Luv,
Viji.

small words BIG thought!!
A common trap some people fall into is that they just think positive.
They think positive.

They think positive.
They think positive.
And that's all they do.
Think.
Positive thinking works when you actually DO something.
When you DO something, take any sort of action, THEN you can think positive about the results of that action.
Don't fall into the positive thinking loop trap, where all you do is THINK.
DO.
THEN think positive about the results.
Edison tried one attempt to invent the light bulb. He failed. Had he thought negatively about the result of his action, he might not have continued but as history has shown, he thought positive.
He told himself he just found one more way NOT to invent the light bulb and that type of thinking helped him to take more action.
Do some action.
THEN think positive about those results. Let that fuel you to take more action and repeat the same thing.
And you'll finally join the ranks of those who DO, not just think.

Vg.

small words BIG thoughts!!!

Her husband committed suicide by overdosing on Valium.

Her daughter didn't talk to her for two years after that happened.

Her agent then told her she would probably never find work again after being fired by Fox.
And she was flat broke.

How in the world does somebody cope with all that?

Especially when it happened all at once?

How?

Well she did.

She looked toward the future and slowly rebuilt her personal and professional life.

She reconciled with her daughter.
She found a ton of work.

She's not flat broke anymore.

And she also just recently won the Celebrity Apprentice.

She is the one, the only - Joan Rivers.

And if she can come back from something like that, it just goes to show how much potential we all have inside ourselves to bounce back from whatever life throws at us,

No matter how hard or how fast it hits us.

small words BIG thought!!!

Reject rejection!

Remember the last time you felt the sting of rejection? It hurts, doesn't it? It might have been an unreturned phone call, an unanswered email, or an unkind comment. We often take it personally when we don't receive the kind words of appreciation we were expecting. However, ninety-nine percent of the time, it turns out that the person on the other end had no intention of hurting us. It's our own thinking that causes the problem. We become a prisoner of our own thoughts.

Before lashing out in response to rejection, make sure you have the facts straight. Most "rejections" turn out to have just been harmless talk, well-intentioned criticism, or a lack of response because of an email not getting through or an unintentional memory lapse. I learned this the hard way, mind you, but my strategy now is to wait a bit and let my frustration die down.

Then I assume the very best of the other person and try to find out what happened and where things stand between us. Only if the situation repeats itself do I consider moving away from the relationship - a rare event indeed.Is there something you're taking personally right now? Try rejecting rejection instead!

Luv,
Viji.

My Mother taught me LOGIC…“If you fall off that swing and break your neck, you can’t go to the store with me.”

My Mother taught me MEDICINE…“If you don’t stop crossing your eyes, they’re going to freeze that way.”

My Mother taught me TO THINK AHEAD…“If you don’t pass your spelling test, you’ll never get a good job!”

My Mother taught me ESP…“Put your sweater on; don’t you think that I know when you’re cold?”

My Mother taught me TO MEET A CHALLENGE…“What were you thinking? Answer me when I talk to you… Don’t talk back to me!”

My Mother taught me HUMOR…“When that lawn mower cuts off your toes, don’t come running to me.”

My Mother taught me how to BECOME AN ADULT…“If you don’t eat your vegetables, you’ll never grow up.”

My Mother taught me about GENETICS… “You are just like your father!”

My Mother taught me about my ROOTS…“Do you think you were born in a barn?”

My Mother taught me about the WISDOM of AGE…“When you get to be my age, you will understand.”

My Mother taught me about ANTICIPATION…“Just wait until your father gets home.”

My Mother taught me about RECEIVING…“You are going to get it when we get home.”
and my all time favorite thing–JUSTICE“One day you will have kids, and I hope they turn out just like YOU..then you’ll see what it’s like.”

In between all this, my Mother taught me how to Live! Thank you Mom for all I have learned these years.

small words BIG thought!!!

Total listeningFor some of us, listening is the perfect time to plan what we're going to say next. We look them straight in the eyes, nod our head and appear to give them our undivided attention. We deserve an Academy Award for our acting. But as soon as they pause for breath, we start talking about our problems. Not nice, and it will backfire on us, because what we're really communicating is "I am not interested in your problems". Is this really something we want to communicate?
If we really care about others, we should listen to them with open ears and an open heart. By doing so we are silently saying, "What you have to say is important to me, because you are important to me." While I was working on this, I put my total listening idea to the test and was amazed by the reaction. The more I listened, the more comfortable and communicative the other person became - which made me feel very good.
Practice total listening - you will be surprised by the results.
Luv,
Viji.

Hi all,

small words BIG thought!!!

Last spring I was walking in a park. A short distance ahead of me was a mom and her three-year-old daughter. The little girl was holding on to a string that was attached to a helium balloon.

All of a sudden, a sharp gust of wind took the balloon from the little girl. I braced myself for some screaming and crying.

But, no! As the little girl turned to watch her balloon go skyward, she gleefully shouted out, Wow!

I didn't realize it at that moment, but that little girl taught me something.

Later that day, I received a phone call from a person with news of an unexpected problem. I felt like responding with Oh no, what should we do But remembering that little girl, I found myself saying,
Wow, that's interesting! How can I help you

One thing's for sure - life's always going to keep us off balance with its unexpected problems. That's a given. What's not preordained is our response. We can choose to be frustrated or fascinated.

No matter what the situation, a fascinated Wow! will always beat a frustrated Oh, no.

So the next time you experience one of life's unexpected gusts, remember that little girl and make it a Wow! experience. The Wow! response always works

Jus keep this thought in mind, hv a fun-filled weekend!!

Luv,
Viji.

Embracing Imperfection

"When I was a little girl, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and extremely burned toast in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his toast, smile at my mom, and ask me how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember Watching him smear butter and jelly on that toast and eat every bite!

When I got Up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad For burning the toast. And I'll never forget what he said: 'Baby, I love burned toast.'

Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if He really liked his toast burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, 'Debbie, your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she's real tired. And besides-a little burnt toast never hurt anyone!' You know, life is full of imperfect things.....and imperfect people. I'm not the best housekeeper or cook.

What I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each other's faults - and choosing to celebrate each other's differences - is the one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship.

And that's my prayer for you today. That you will learn to take the good,the bad, and the ugly parts of your life and lay them at the feet of GOD. Because in the end, He's the only One who will be able to give you a relationship where burnt toast isn't a deal-breaker! We could extend this to any relationship in fact - as understanding is the base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or friendship!! "

something to TRY!!

Here's a very simple exercise you can do to bring some relaxation and joy into your life, as well as potentially find out some more things about yourself that you never would've found out before.

Simply write down a list of 10 things that light up your life and commit yourself to doing at least one of those things every day.

It doesn't sound all that earth shattering at first, but give it a try and I guarantee you'll be pleasantly surprised at not only the obvious results, but of the other positive results that unexpectedly arise.

Toward the end of Sunday service, the Minister asked, 'How many of you have forgiven your enemies?'
80% held up their hands.
The Minister then repeated his question.
All responded this time, except one small elderly lady.
'Mrs. Neely?'; 'Are you not willing to forgive your enemies?'
I don't have any.' She replied, smiling sweetly.
'Mrs. Neely, that is very unusual. How old are you?'
'Ninety-eight.' she replied.
'Oh, Mrs. Neely, would you please come down in front & tell us all how a person can live ninety-eight years & not have an enemy in the world?'
The little sweetheart of a lady tottered down the aisle, faced the congregation, and said:
'I've outlived the bitches.'

When two minds come together that complement one another, the ideas that come out the discussions they have can be mind blowing.

Life changing.

It's the power of the MasterMind.

You take a person who's very logical, conservative, a straight shooter and pair him/her up with somebody who's creative, sees things differently, can think up of some wild ideas, the synergy that takes place is incredible.

INCREDIBLE.

Find somebody that complements your mind.

Discuss with him/her an issue you're dealing with.

And watch the magic unfold right before your very eyes.

Your Weakness
By Author Unknown

This is a story of one 10-year-old boy who decided to study judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a devastating car accident.

The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy was doing well, so he couldn't understand why, after three months of training, the master had taught him only one move.

"Sensei," the boy finally said, "Shouldn't I be learning more moves?"

"This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you'll ever need to know," the Sensei replied. Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training.

Several months later, the Sensei took the boy to his first tournament. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy deftly used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals.

This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the referee called a time-out. He was about to stop the match when the Sensei intervened. "No," the Sensei insisted, "Let him continue."

Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a critical mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy used his move to pin him. The boy had won the match and the tournament. He was the champion.

On the way home, the boy and Sensei reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really on his mind. "Sensei, how did I win the tournament with only one move?"

"You won for two reasons," the Sensei answered. "First, you've almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. And second, the only known defence for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm."

The boy's greatest weakness had become his greatest strength.

The moral of the story – We sometimes allow our weaknesses to be our downfall rather than using them to our advantage. We tell ourselves we cannot do something because we do not feel it is our strength. But, if we didn't dwell on our weaknesses, we may find that we could succeed. The story reminds me of the quote by Thomas Edison, "Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up." We tend to give up rather than persevere. We all need to be reminded that sometimes what we perceive as our weakness could actually turn out to be our strength.

Viji.

Happy Ugadi..



Jus try out!!!

To travel the "high road" from pain to pleasure, discover some positive ways to change your outlook. Consider some of these strategies.


Sing along with your favorite music...read something that offers information that you can immediately apply....laugh at a funny movie or show.....swim several laps.....share a meal with your family or with a friend....dance, dance like you don't care who is watching....soak in a warm bath....come up with five new ideas.....get to know a stranger....tell silly jokes to friends knowing they'll probably still like you anyway....write in your journal or diary....hug and kiss your spouse.

Pick one of these and try it now. Notice how you feel before, during and after. This is one of the easiest and most fun ways to change your state. Remember it, use it and most of all enjoy it.

Drink Juice
You probably know that the antioxidants in fruits and vegetables are good for brain health (as well as health in general).
Now research from Vanderbilt University shows that drinking fruit or vegetable juice (any type) three times weekly can reduce your odds of getting Alzheimer's disease by up to 76%.
Avoid the "fruit drinks" which are mostly sugar and water, though. Drink pure fruit or vegetable juice.

Worth a Try!!

Taking 10-15 minutes to plan your entire week ahead - it does wonders for your productivity.

Rather than have a to-do list that's changing everyday, take all the things you need to do for the week and divide them separately.

That's key.
Divide them separately by days.

You can do this via sheets in Microsoft Excel.

You can do this with sheets of paper in a spiral notebook

You can do this with separate pieces of paper.

However you do it, divide it by days.

It doesn't sound all that earth shattering but try it.

It will give you a new sense of peace of mind and allow you to get a whole lot done.

Guaranteed.

The risk of successSomeone you know is successful. Most of his decisions were bang-on and he's on a winning streak. He also has made some mistakes - who doesn't? - but he learned his lessons, corrected them, and moved on. Now he's on the way to the top. Am I talking about you? Maybe the "tomorrow you"? But when I say success, I don't mean success in business alone, but also in your personal life, your studies, and your relationships. But there is a risk in success. Why do so many successful people eventually fail? Because they develop a feeling of invincibility and lose touch with reality - but reality doesn't lose touch with them.

History shows that there are no invincible armies.- Joseph Stalin

I reject your reality and substitute it for my own.- Adam Savage


The big risk of being at the top is that you become hypnotized by your success and are no longer grounded. The present crisis in the banking system proves my point. Spending $200,000 to renovate a bathroom, exclusively using a private plane, paying half a million dollars for a seminar - all these and many more lavish acts show us that the big boys at the head of the banks were out of touch with reality and that is the main reason for their downfall and our current economic disaster. Talk about costly mistakes!

Are you at the top and enjoying it? Good for you and I wish you all the best. But please stay well grounded. You don't want to risk your success!

Viji.

small words BIG thought!!! - If u miss to read this.. U miss something in ur life.. (Jus spare few min!!!)

Don’t Just Hope ….Decide!!

While waiting to pick up a friend at the airport in Portland, Oregon, I had one of those life-changing experiences that you hear other people talk about — the kind that sneaks up on you unexpectedly. This one occurred a mere two feet away from me.Straining to locate my friend among the passengers deplaning through the jet way, I noticed a man coming toward me carrying two light bags. He stopped right next to me to greet his family.First he motioned to his youngest son (maybe six years old) as he laid down his bags. They gave each other a long, loving hug. As they separated enough to look in each other’s face, I heard the father say, “It’s so good to see you, son. I missed you so much!” His son smiled somewhat shyly, averted his eyes and replied softly, “Me, too, Dad!”

Then the man stood up, gazed in the eyes of his oldest son (maybe nine or ten) and while cupping his son’s face in his hands said, “You’re already quite the young man. I love you very much, Zach!” They too hugged a most loving, tender hug.While this was happening, a baby girl (perhaps one or one-and-a-half) was squirming excitedly in her mother’s arms, never once taking her little eyes off the wonderful sight of her returning father. The man said, “Hi, baby girl!” as he gently took the child from her mother. He quickly kissed her face all over and then held her close to his chest while rocking her from side to side. The little girl instantly relaxed and simply laid her head on his shoulder, motionless in pure contentment.After several moments, he handed his daughter to his oldest son and declared, “I’ve saved the best for last!” and proceeded to give his wife the longest, most passionate kiss I ever remember seeing. He gazed into her eyes for several seconds and then silently mouthed. “I love you so much!” They stared at each other’s eyes, beaming big smiles at one another, while holding both hands.

For an instant they reminded me of newlyweds, but I knew by the age of their kids that they couldn’t possibly be. I puzzled about it for a moment then realized how totally engrossed I was in the wonderful display of unconditional love not more than an arm’s length away from me. I suddenly felt uncomfortable, as if I was invading something sacred, but was amazed to hear my own voice nervously ask, “Wow! How long have you two been married?“Been together fourteen years total, married twelve of those.” he replied, without breaking his gaze from his lovely wife’s face. “Well then, how long have you been away?” I asked. The man finally turned and looked at me, still beaming his joyous smile. “Two whole days!”

Two days? I was stunned. By the intensity of the greeting, I had assumed he’d been gone for at least several weeks - if not months. I know my expression betrayed me.I said almost offhandedly, hoping to end my intrusion with some semblance of grace (and to get back to searching for my friend), “I hope my marriage is still that passionate after twelve years!”The man suddenly stopped smiling.

He looked me straight in the eye, and with forcefulness that burned right into my soul, he told me something that left me a different person. He told me, “Don’t hope, friend… decide!” Then he flashed me his wonderful smile again, shook my hand and said, “God bless! Take care!!”
Anything that we hope for in our life is actually what we need to decide upon & work on it , instead of just hoping & praying for it to happen. Hope is just the first step, but it’s the action / decision to make the hope come true, which makes the all the difference!!

Viji.

small words BIG thought!!!

Time for a 180º turnMany of us are always looking back to a land of lost opportunities. Our mind is filled with such thoughts as, "If only I had been more careful in managing my money" or "If only I had chosen a different career" or "If only I had accepted that job." If only, if only, if only! Well, here's some good news for us if-only people. Since it's impossible to change the past, we may as well get rid of our regrets and turn toward the future. We should stop looking in the rear view mirror and look ahead, instead. Looking ahead is more interesting anyway. And safer!
Fear not for the future; weep not for the past.- Percy Bysshe ShelleyWe must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope.- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
I recommend three steps for if-only people. First, close your eyes to the disappointing scene behind you, remembering only the lesson learned. Second, carefully turn 180 degrees. Third, open your eyes to a future full of potential and surprises: new prospects; beautiful places to visit; interesting job opportunities; and wonderful new friends to make. The past has passed, it is gone, it has vanished, and the only thing we have to remember is the lesson learned.Are you an if-only person?
Take a 180º turn and look ahead
Luv,
Viji.

It is nice to be nice, but...
Someone asks us for a favour and though it's really inconvenient for us to comply, we say yes. This usually ends up in a normal give-and-take situation, but sometimes our being such a pushover can wreak havoc with our self-confidence. We risk becoming an easy victim of anyone who knows which buttons to press to manipulate our ego Being Mr. Nice Guy is nice, but we should never let it be at our expense.
The scars you acquire while exercising courage will never make you feel inferior. - D.A. BattistaYes and No are very short words,But we should think for some length of time before saying them.- Anonymous
What does being nice have to do with low self-confidence? A lot! Saying yes when we want to say no could indicate that we don't think our feelings are important and that we are more afraid of hurting someone's feelings than defending our own interests. "No" is a small word with a lot of power.
Want to say no without making enemies? Start practicing now!

Fantastic mng!!!

Hi all,
Gm...
Have a nice day ahead!!!



Worth a TRY!!!
When you start your day off, ask yourself how you feel.

See how you react to the following answers:

"Ok."

"Fine."

"Great!"

"Awesome!"

"Fantastic!"

"PHENOMENAL!"

Vocabulary is a powerful tool when we use it to our advantage.

Hi all,

Have a cool day ahead!!!
Worth a Read!! -- RUN THROUGH THE RAIN BELIEVING



I listen. That's where my stories come from. I speak. That's how I get to meet the most incredible people.
But sometimes just listening from afar is enough to fill my heart. I don't always need to say hello to bring a perfect stranger into my life. Conversations overheard are lessons in life sometimes even more powerful than those we are a part of. This brief encounter filled my day to capacity. If only they knew the gift they gave me. She must have been 6 years old, this beautiful brown haired, freckled faced image of innocence.
Her Mom looked like someone from the Walton's or a moment captured by Norman Rockwell. Not that she was old fashioned. Her brown hair was ear length with enough curl to appear natural. She had on a pair of tan shorts and light blue knit shirt. Her sneakers were white with a blue trim. She looked like a Mom.
It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the tops of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the Earth it has no time to flow down the spout. Drains in the nearby parking lot were filled to capacity and some were blocked so that huge puddles laked around parked cars. We all stood there under the awning and just inside the door of the Wal-Mart. We waited, some patiently, others aggravated because nature messed up their hurried day.
I am always mesmerized by rain fall. I get lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running, splashing so carefree as a child come pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day. Her voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught in.
"Mom, let's run through the rain," she said.
"What?" Mom asked.
"Let's run through the rain!" she repeated.
"No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit," Mom replied.
This young child waited about another minute and repeated her statement. "Mom. Let's run through the rain."
"We'll get soaked if we do," Mom said.
"No we won't, Mom. That's not what you said this morning," the young girl said as she tugged at her Mom's arm.
"This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?"
"Don't you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said,
'If Faith can get us through this, He can get us through anything!'"
The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I swear you couldn't hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently. No one came or left in the next few minutes.
Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say. Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child's life. A time when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith.
"Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's run through the rain. If we get wet, well maybe we just needed washing," Mom said.
Then off they ran. We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they darted past the cars and yes through the puddles. They held their shopping bags over their heads just in case.
They got soaked. But they were followed by a few believers who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars. Perhaps inspired by their faith and trust.
I want to believe that somewhere down the road in life, Mom will find herself reflecting back on moments they spent together, captured like pictures in the scrapbook of her cherished memories. Maybe when she watches proudly as her daughter graduates. Or as her Daddy walks her down the aisle on her wedding day.
She will laugh again. Her heart will beat a little faster. Her smile will tell the world they love each other. But only two people will share that precious moment when they ran through the rain believing that Faith would get them through.
Yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing.

small words BIG thought!!

Only 19 wordsI don't remember where I saw it, but the following sentence electrified me: "We cannot choose how we enter this world, but we can decide how we are going to leave it." Well put! Condensed into these 19 words are the basic beliefs of all religions. Some people don't agree, because control and power is all that matters to them. They live in a "me-me" world and don't care if others pay the price. Their approach may work for them for a while, but eventually they will experience a backlash.
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.- Winston ChurchillIt is every man's obligation to put back into the world at least the equivalent of what he takes out.- Albert Einstein
If we are the receivers of love, appreciation, and encouragement, we must find a way to pass it on. Not necessarily to the same person, but to whoever is in need. I am convinced that achieving a balance between receiving and giving is what enables us to live a happy life. As simple as that? Yes. Shouldn't living this balance be our highest priority? If you get a chance to improve your balance sheet, grab it!
Luv,
Viji.
