Murphy's Laws symbolize the error-prone nature of people and processes.
Given below is a top 10 list of Murphy's Laws.
Murphy's Law
1) If something can go wrong, it will.
2) If anything simply cannot go wrong, it will anyway.
3) Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.
4) Matter will be damaged in direct proportion to its value.
5) The chance of the bread falling with the buttered side down is directly proportional to the cost of the carpet.
6) The buddy system is essential to your survival; it gives the enemy somebody else to shoot at.
7) Technology is dominated by those who manage what they do not understand.
8) The opulence of the front office decor varies inversely with the fundamental solvency of the firm.
9) Tell a man there are 300 billion stars in the universe and he'll believe you. Tell him a bench has wet paint on it and he'll have to touch to be sure.
10) The first myth of management is that it exists.

Parents !!!
Our Parents.....
When you came into this world
They held you in their arms
You thanked them by
wailing loudly
When you were 1 yr old
They fed you and bathed you
You thanked them by
Crying all night and keeping them awake
When you were 2 yrs old
They taught you how to walk
You thanked them by
Running away when they called
When you were 3 yrs. Old
They taught you poems
You thanked them by
Not speaking a word at the school interview
When you were 4 yrs old
They took you out for meals
You thanked them by
Tossing the plate on the floor
When you were 5yrs old
They bought you crayons
You thanked them by
Spoiling all the drawing room walls
When you were 6 yrs old
They drove you to school bus
You thanked them by
crying loudly "I don't want to go??.."
When you were 7 yrs old
They bought you the best toys they found
You thanked them by saying
"my friend has got better ones !"
When you were 8 yrs old
They bought you a cricket bat
You thanked them by smashing
The neighbour's window pane
When you were 9 yrs old
They drove you to your friend's B'day Party
You thanked them by
jumping out of the car And not looking back.
When you were 10 yrs old
They paid for your music classes
You thanked them by
Never bothering to practice.
When you were 11 yrs old
They took you to a Hill Station for vacation
You thanked them by complaining
That your friends go abroad
When you were 16 yrs old
They invited your friends home on you B'day
You thanked them by asking them
To stay out and leave you and your friends alone in the room.
When you were 17 yrs old
They turned up for your School PTA meeting
You thanked them by blaming them
For embarrassing you in front of friends
when you were 18 yrs old
They taught you how to drive
You thanked them by taking the car
At every possible opportunity and Making them wait up in worry
When you were 19 yrs old
They were expecting important calls
You thanked them by
being on the Phone with friends for hours
When you were 20 yrs old
They wanted to discuss your career with you
You thanked them by saying that
Your plans are different from theirs
When you were 21 yrs old
They gifted you a two wheeler
You thanked them by leaving it at home
And roaming around in friends' cars
When you were 23 yrs old
They arranged for a job for you
You thanked them by complaining all the time
That its not 'your kind of work'
When you were 24 yrs old
They were excited to find a life partner for you
You thanked them by breaking the news
That you already have someone in mind
When you were 25 yrs old
They spent all their savings on your wedding
You thanked them by
Moving to a separate house with your spouse
When you were 30 yrs old
They called up with some advice on your baby
You thanked them by telling them
That things are different from their time
When you were 35 yrs old
They wished you on your wedding anniversary
You thanked them by going out with your wife
And leaving the kids behind for them to take care
When you were 40 yrs old
They asked your to attend a relatives' wedding
You thanked them by saying
That we are really very busy to go
When you were 45 yrs old
They wished to come over and stay with you
You thanked them by saying that your children
Had trouble 'communicating' with them
When you were 50 yrs old
They fell ill and needed your care
You thanked them by making sure
They had signed all 'property papers'
And then one day
They quietly went away
And everything you never did
Came crashing down on your face
We may find it childish and silly
To tell our parents in word that we love them
But can't we take our moments to make sure
They know this someway ?????.
There is no substitute for them
Cherish every single second spent in their care
They may not be your best friends
And you may not agree with everything they say
But this is one place you can just close your eyes
And trust blindly that whatever they are saying
Is only for your good ????..
Have different viewpoints from them
But never let it overpower love and respect.
THEY MADE YOU WHAT YOU ARE
THEY ARE NOT THE ONES TO BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED
LOVE THEM MORE THAN YOU LOVE YOURSELF
AND SHOW IT TOO ???????
LIFE IS MEANINGLESS WITHOUT THEM???..OUR PARENTS !!!

Exercise for new Mothers - Stroller Strides
The American Woman has finally realised what Indian Women always knew. Having a baby is a full time job & exercise routine.
Tired of feeling guilty of leaving your child at a creche while going to the gym for a workout ?
An enterprising young mother in the US, has formulated an exercise plan, where young mothers with New Borns meet up with their children in strollers and take a joint walk and short breaks to develop other muscles.
What is Stroller Strides?
Stroller Strides is a total fitness program for new moms that they can do with their babies. It includes Power Walking and intervals of body toning using exercise tubing and the stroller. Taught by nationally certified instructors, it's a great workout for any level of exerciser. Please get doctor's permission before starting this or any other exercise.
What do I need?
You, your baby and the stroller. Just about any kind of stroller will do so long as it's not prone to tipping. We also suggest you bring WATER, a hat or sunblock for both you and your baby, and a towel or mat for our ground exercises.
What can I expect when we meet?
Each class consists of a warm up, a power walk and "stations" where we do a variety of body toning exercises. We use exercise tubing (which we provide you with), the stroller and the outdoor environment to create our gym. If your baby is fussy, we will show you exercises that you can do with your baby.
So guess, nani & Dadi have always known best !!!

Heard about the Wing Women ?
Have u heard abt the new concept of Wingwomen. A guy pays a girl to take her out. But she is neither a prostitute or an escort. She is a Wing Woman !
A wing woman accompanies a guy to a party or a bar or any social meeting place, here he identifies a couple of wopmen he would like to meet up with or talk to but doesnt have the courage or is too shy. The Wingwoman approaches the other woman and starts a casual conversation with her, then introduces the guy as her friend. If the 2 hit it off, the wing woman slowly walks out of the picture.
This concept has taken New York by storm where men are too busy or too egoistic to meet women on their own.
Do u think it can work in India ? Do we need it in India, when there are enough obliging "aunties" who "will introduce to nice homely, educated, working girl"
Your comments ???

100 scientific things to do before you die
Scientists from a UK think tank have come up with a new take on 100 things to do before you die.
Involving ideas from the renowned evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins and astronomer Patrick Moore, the list details one hundred scientific ideas to further your intellect while at the same time having fun.
"You've only got one life, so make the most of it," say list editors Valerie Jamieson and Liz Else. "Swim in a bioluminescent lake, boil an egg with a mobile phone, or have a new species named after you."
According to Ms Jamieson and Else, the list published in the New Scientist magazine provides "the best science has to offer in the way of new experiences".
Ranging from the whacky South Pole 300 Club (where you bathe in a 200 degree Fahrenheit sauna before running to the South Pole naked in minus 100 degrees), to the slightly more accessible assisting at the birth of an animal, the scientific list has something to tempt everyone.
Other highlights include extracting your own DNA, connecting your home PC to the alien-spotting Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico, going to see Galileo's middle finger in Florence and measuring the speed of light with chocolate.
Alternatively, for £35,000 you could clone your pet cat or with a little effort learn the native American language of Choctaw - with one tense for relaying information you know to be true and a second for giving unchecked information from someone else.
