This is true.....

A group of working adults got together to visit their University lecturer. The lecturer was happy to see them. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

The Lecturer just smiled and went to the kitchen to get an assortment of cups - some porcelain, some in plastic, some in glass, some plain looking and some looked rather expensive and exquisite.

The Lecturer offered his former students the cups to get drinks for themselves.

When all the students had a cup in hand with water, the Lecturer spoke:

"If you noticed, all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal that you only want the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. What all you wanted was water, not the cup, but we unconsciously went for the better cups."

"Just like in life, if Life is Water, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold/maintain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change."

"If we only concentrate on the cup, we won't have time to enjoy/taste the water in it."

My readings and inspiration.....

I am not an avid reader yet but i started reading since others did. I cud not remember my first book but I could say some which pinned in me some inspirations.

Vanthaargal Vendraargal -- by Madhan. This tamil book is about Moghul history and i request all tamilians to read atleast the first chapter. Damn sure they will end only in the last page.. Such a nice book. Never read abt history in such a form. Excuse me bookies ( see my first line).

Recently read - Dark room by R.K. Narayanan. Good one in simple english, abt a middle class family and how a woman survives controlling her aspirations, under a man.

Reading - Great Escapes - edited by Ruskin Bond. Starting is good but shall c how it moves......

I GET BACK MY WORDS

In one of my previous posting, i remember saying there is a bug in MS WORD. Got cleared now that it is not a bug.....

=rand(99,200). This is used to fill the pages . When we create a template in MS Word and want to see how it looks after entering some text, u can very well use this command to fill the pages.,

So this is not a bug. Still more, came to know that u cant create folder by these names: con,aux, prn,nul.

They are predefined system variables started in DOS version 1.0. Each has got a meaning.
con for console, aux for auxillary devices, nul for null device and prn for printer. I doubt the last.

Hats off to Microsoft. I really admire their products even with bugs revolving.........

Hi friends,

Writing after a long gap. Got time to write....

I send morning greetings to all via mail and my friends do respond for the same. One day one of my friend told me, instead of sending as a simple wish message, make something different.

It makes sense... Y not we can give some information to others as a general booster. Started sending mails with some information. Got some good responses 2.

Happiness added when one of my friend told that he did save my mails to be read later... Just a moral support or ncouragement u can say to continue my work.

Thanks pals.
