There Is No Shortcut To Success! 2007-09-07 08:34:28 Phil was an innocent teenager who was benevolent and generous. But like all of us, he had one great problem. He had too much faith and belief in astrology. Like each year, before the examination, he went to the astrologist. But he returned with a heavy heart because the astrologist predicted that Phil would get a very bad result in his examinations. As his nature, Phil believed in his future predictions. Still, he decided to work hard. Phil was confident that he would fail, but he believed there was no harm in working hard. Thus, determined but hopeless, yet well prepared Phil wrote his exams. He had no trust in himself. But he was amazed and overjoyed when he saw his name in the merit list. This meant that he has passed with flying colors. This incident brought immense change in Phil. He now learnt that his future was not in the hands of any other person, but in his own hands. Phil could change his future if he was strong-willed, determined and of course, if he worked Read more:Success

Hippopotamus and the Tortoise 2007-09-05 22:17:11 Hi, I recently received an e-mail, which is very inspiring. I thought I would like to share the same with you all. So, here it goes.....These are truly amazing pictures. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. NAIROBI (AFP) - A baby hippopotamus that survived theTsunami waves on the Kenyan coast has formed a strongBond with a giant male century-old tortoise in an animal Facility in the port city of Mombassa, officials said.

I Am Late! 2007-09-04 09:58:54 Has there been any incident in your life when you were late for school or office? Oh yes! I am one of the victims of this sorrowful incidence. The sharp sound of the huge alarm bell ringing echoed in my ears. I woke up warily and noticed that I was five minutes late. Thus, I hastily got ready for school. Luckily I was in time. I think there was some enrapturing news in the newspaper because my father was stuck to his seat. After a huge argument he stood up reluctantly. Without a word I sat down beside him in the car and had a fleeing glance at my watch. As expected I had very little time to reach school at the nick of the hour. Suddenly our car came to a screeching halt. As this disaster struck I was now sure that there was no chance that I would not be late for school. I cursed my lucky stars. The fierce faces of my teachers now floated before my eyes. I learnt that there was some technical failure in the car. The big and hefty machine was pushed to the mechanics gar
Path To Success 2007-10-01 12:02:42 Carl was extremely depressed as he stepped out of Mr. Claire’s (his boss) office. His boss had spoiled his wonderful day by scolding him for some work. His depression gradually turned into anger. Some time later he wondered how much power lay in Mr. Claire’s hand and soon his anger melted down into envy. Now Carl became so greedy and envious of his boss that he had a resentful and powerful urge in him to become the boss even if it was for only a day. His colleagues and friends laughed at him for his jealous desire. Some helpful friends also told him that being greedy like this would harm him in the future. One day, Carl was asking God to fulfill his desire when the direction of the wind changed. As you know, when the wind changes a person’s wish comes true. This is exactly what happened with Carl. Oh yes! He replaced Mr. Claire for one whole day. Overwhelmed with joy he resumed his exiting day ahead. This day was not as great as it should have been. The whole day Carl had to Read more:Success

Really Funny! 2007-09-28 12:03:11 Hi guys! I’m back to make you all laugh with some more funny jokes. Hope you enjoy them! The Girls Are Girls!Three girls are stranded on an island for ages. Then they find a lamp. So they rub it and out pops a genie. The genie says, “You girls have one wish each.” So the first girl says, “I wish I was back at home! And she vanishes from the island. Then the second girl says, “I wish I was back at home too.” And she vanishes from the island. Then the third girl says, “It’s lonely here without my friends gone. I wish my friends were back on the island!” A Touching Speech!Eleven people were hanging on a rope under a helicopter. The rope was not strong enough to carry them all, so they decided that one had to leave, because otherwise they were all going to fall. They weren’t able to name that person until one of them volunteered. This man gave a very touching speech. He said that he would go off the rope because he had made many sacrifices throughout his life. He ha Read more:Funny

Strange SignsWalking on the road I saw a strange sign at the nearby dry cleaners. It said “Working on the same spot since 21 years” Really FunnyA teacher took the children outdoors to create awareness of the increasing soil erosion. The students formed groups to carry out their observations when a boy came running to her. “Jack has hurt his leg” he said. The teacher went running and found Jack groaning loudly. He was gaping at a wound in his knee but the teacher became even more concerned when the boy cried” My hand, my hand”. Concerned that the injury might be even worse she asked “what’s wrong with your hand?’ “You’re standing on it!” the boy snapped! My Best InvitationWhether it’s a typographical error or an overt plea, I am not sure. But I recently got an invitation that clearly stated “The honor
The Stranger On The Street 2007-10-11 11:19:15 It was a scary night. The atmosphere was dark and serene. The storm was as fierce as a ranting bull. This wouldn’t be that bad if Carlos wasn’t traveling all alone on that scary street. No there wasn’t a single soul other than Carlos on that street. Carlos had always avoided this street throughout his life while traveling back home. But today….today it was different. He was late from work and had missed the last bus home. With no other opinion he had to walk down this route. And this is what he dreaded all his life! He had gone only halfway through the street when he saw a blurry figure standing just a mile away from him. It was a faded image and Carlos couldn’t believe if what he was seeing was a dream or a reality. The stranger was dressed in black from head to toe. A black coat, black boots and a black hat pulled low over his head. But that’s not all. Dark red spots were visible on his coat and boots. He was a really a spooky sight to see. His hat was pulled low over Read more:Stranger

My Memorable Moments! 2007-10-08 11:08:48 I woke up that morning filled with new zest and vigor. My excitement and joy knew no bounds. Why not? It was my birthday today! But there was something strange today. There wasn’t any huge card on my bedroom wall saying Happy Birthday. I looked at my bedside table in horror. There was no...no…Oh! no nicely wrapped present lying on the table. Filled with dismay and disbelief I bounded down the stairs almost jumping over three stairs at a time. I ran to the kitchen and found no one. I then went to my father’s study and my brother’s bedroom but they were both empty. Tears were on the urge to flow down my eyes when I noticed a small note lying on the table. Filled with hope that it was a sweet little birthday card I opened it. But no! It was a note telling me that my family had gone to my Aunt’s house and that there was food and milk in the refrigerator. Filled with great annoyance and deeply hurt, I spent my whole day doing nothing in particular. I didn’t even receive any Read more:Moments
Oh Lord, Bless Her Poor Soul ! 2007-10-07 11:35:00 Lying on the hard cold ground with no shelter overhead was the girl Christine. In the solemn night scene when the moon hung in the velvety sky, she was a poor sight to see. Dressed in rags, the bony structure of Christine moved along the road with nothing but a few flowers to sell. She hoped to earn a penny or two for herself. Christine had not eaten even a single morsel of food the day before. But today she was filled with heart felt desire to eat something- even if it was a small cold piece of loaf. She stood in front of the huge shop in the local street as she envied every richly dressed passer-by. She hoped that some wealthy person would come to her and relieve her of the radiant hues she was holding and also of the pain in her soul. The shimmering hues of the sun dimmed and the whispering darkness arrived. There was no one on the street except Christine. She still stood with those truly beautiful flowers hoping that someone would buy them. But now as the night time Read more:Bless

The Naughtiest Prankster! 2007-10-05 18:50:42 I woke up from the bed rubbing my eyes with laziness. I looked beside me and saw my very own image lying on the other bed. “Ah! Such a strange mirror! I said “I’m sitting on the bed and it shows me to be sleeping. And yeah, this mirror wasn’t there last night so how come it’s here now? Never mind!” As I washed my face and returned to my senses, I noticed that it wasn’t a mirror image after all! It was a living body like you and me. I woke up that girl having a really spooky feeling inside myself. It looked as if Vegna (he...he that’s her name of course!) was wearing my mask over her skull. She was just as surprised to see me as I was mind boggled! After some heated discussion, I discovered that she was my identical twin sister. Wow! Maybe…. We were separated at birth or Oh, you can assume it to be any story that you know about some twins meeting so late. Who cares? Well I didn’t. All I cared about was how much fun I could have by doing all the pranks I knew abo Read more:Prankster

: Part- I)After seeing your zealous excitement and interest that you showed to read the second part of my story I thought I’d better present the second part of it before you today itself. So here it is…… We, the twins, Vegna and myself, must have been real devils I suppose. I say so due to the stories or maybe myths I’ve heard about two twins being similar to each other. Arghhh…. Why did I play those pranks on Vegna, after all? I really acted like a fool and never thought that she too could trouble me in the same way as I did. Unluckily this is exactly what she thought and aah….did. Vegna played naughty jokes on my family and talked rudely to my friends. The next day I was amazed that none of my friends talked to me and my parents scolded me unnecessarily for something I never did. Ah, it’s my fault after all. Anyways this really made me burn with anger. To apologize for my bad beh
A Cow Sent To Jail! 2007-10-18 22:01:35 It is common to hear people being taken into police custody because of their rash driving which causes many accidents. But have you ever heard of a cow being taken into custody by the officials? I suppose not, but hold your breath because this is exactly what happened in Cambodia. A Cambodian cow was arrested by the police and was charged for causing traffic accidents. And also if the police officials are to be believed, at least six people have died in this accident. The cow was standing right in the middle of the road when a 66 year old motorcyclist crashed into him and died. According to the reports the owner of the cow could also face a 6 month jail. This is because of the new traffic law which has been formed. It says that the owner would be held responsible for any accidents caused by his animal. I pity the poor owner of this cow who has to suffer terribly due to his animal. I wonder what happened to the cow when the motorcyclist crashed into him and died. But don’t you peop
A Great Lesson! 2007-10-17 13:09:49 Ria was extremely angry with her mom before she left for school. Her mom had scolded her unnecessarily for her little brother’s mistake. He had lost her notebook and now her mother was scolding her, saying that it was all her fault. So she went to school with a sour mood. She didn’t talk to her mom even when she returned home from school that day. Her mother apologized (which was very rare) but Ria still didn’t agree. This was the third day after her fight and it was the History period going on in her class. Suddenly she was called by the principal to immediately leave for home. Ria was really taken aback but at the same time she was very glad too for not having to suffer from that horrible history lecture. How did she know that she had a terrible surprise waiting for her at home? Her father was in tears when she reached home. “Oh dear”, he gasped, “Ria you were angry with your mom. Weren’t you? But now you can’t be angry with her anymore as she.,…..she….” he Read more:Great
Cleaning Is Horrible! 2007-10-16 10:09:12 “Clean your room! Take a bath! Wash your hands!” shouted my mom. Actually this has become a routine on holidays so I didn’t care much. But today it was enough! I was more than irritated. I suppose this was the tenth time she was yelling at me when I was doing some important work. “Why do adults care so much about cleanliness after all?” I wondered aloud to myself. My parent’s room, I agree, is absolutely spick and span at all times but me, oh yes! mine is horrible. But why does it matter so much to my mother? A child’s room is supposed to be dirty after all, isn’t it? The next day I went to my friend’s house for a party and you should have seen her room. Oh it was worse than mine. Towels, books, magazines and other stuff was scattered all around and it was the same in her house too. Her mom shrieking at the top of her voice telling her to clean up! But I soon learnt why it is important to have your room as neat as a new pin. My school was going for a picnic next da Read more:Cleaning

Funny One Liners! 2007-10-27 12:50:54 humor Hi friends! Here are some rib-tickling one liners that I received as an email. Thought I’d share them with you. Hope you enjoy them! Join the army, see the world, meet interesting people, and kill them. Until I was 11, I thought my name was 'Shut Up.' 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. The road to success is always under construction. Work is fine if it doesn't take up too much of your time. When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane. Born free; Taxed to death. Everyone has a photographic memory; some people just don't have film. Life is unsure; always eat your dessert first. Smile -- it makes people wonder what you're up to. I love being a writer... what I can't stand is the paperwork. A printer consists of 3 main parts: the case, the jammed paper tra Read more:Funny

My Eccentricities!! 2007-10-27 09:09:36 Hi friends! Today I thought I’d tell you some interesting quirks about myself. I’m ashamed to tell you that till the age of seven I’d thought that the computer was the television. I soon learnt the reality as I grew older when I once switched on the computer and saw the unfamiliar desktop. I’m well known as a weather forecaster but no one except me knows the reality. Actually, when someone asks me about how the weather is going to be I look thoughtfully at the horizon and then tell them it’s going to be fine. Only I know that I’d heard about it in the morning radio. He…...he. I’ve unluckily tripped over the slightly raised area at the entrance of my house nearly fifty times and I’ve been living in this house since seven years now! I initially thought that brown chocolates were made of mud or sludge but changed my mind after eating them once. I’ve been a crazy chocolate lover since then! The worst incident of my life
The Poor Rotating Kitty! 2007-10-26 05:15:01 This morning when I woke up, I didn’t feel myself. And the reason was that ….that ….. I wasn’t myself! I had a coat of black fur with white spots on it. I had sharp claws and paws instead of the usual nails and legs. Oh yes! I had turned into a cat. I took this as a boon and decided to explore the house today. Suddenly, I remembered how curious I had been yesterday when I’d seen my mother washing clothes in our new washing machine. Strange it is, or you might think it’s craziness but I’ve always wanted to know how the inside of a washing machine would be. So today when I’d got the opportunity, I made full use of it. I quietly slipped into the washing machine and discovered this new place. It was cozy and warm but not wet. It felt really comfortable. But this was the most devastating thing! It was such a luxury that I didn’t realize I had fallen asleep inside the washing machine. And cats, as you know, are really lazy. So I too, wasn’t awake before I heard some d Read more:Rotating

My Mom's Punishment! 2007-10-22 11:28:45 It was a lucky day for me. My mother had promised to take me to a movie. Wow! It was very rare she did that and after such great movies coming up, I was really glad. She assured me that she would come back early from her workplace and take me to the theater. All this sounded like music to my ears! Hurray! I came home from school and soon got ready to leave home. I sat there eagerly waiting for a long time. As the clock struck past an hour I started loosing my patience. The time crawled away. An hour, two, three Ah it also came to four! Now you all can imagine my fury! I was extremely, mind you EXTREMELY furious. My face was red with anger. “How could she forget her promise?” I asked my irate self. I would nearly have broken all the things lying near me, when suddenly my mom entered. I yelled on the top of my lungs and reminded her of her promise. “Oh! I’m so sorry dear. I nearly forgot about that! You know, I was too busy but I’ll take you tomorrow if you wish” she said Read more:Punishment
An Interesting Bus Ride! 2007-10-21 10:43:05 Carla nearly forgot that it was her Aunt’s birthday today. But she had to go for the soccer league too. “Am I a girl with superpowers to be at two places at the same time?” Carla wondered to herself. Suddenly out of the blue her brain started to work and “Oh yes! I could do it” she shouted. “I could take the soccer equipments and dresses to Aunt’s house and after a short visit I could be off to my stadium. Hurray!” Carla hastily packed her bag and went off to the bus stand. She boarded the bus that came first. But unluckily this was the most crowded one. She sat in one corner by the window admiring the beauty of nature visible outside. Suddenly the lady beside her got up and a man came and sat down on theempty space. Carla once again tried to divert her attention towards the window but there was surely something fishy about this man. At the very next stop he got down from the bus. But surprisingly he didn’t pick up the baggage. Carla shouted out to him but he didn

A Tourist 2007-10-30 20:52:16 Hi guys! I recently went for an exciting tour to some places in India. Here I noticed many foreign tourists from different countries. To tell you the truth, they did look strange among the huge crowd of Indians. This is what I suppose got them those earnest glares. So today I decided to dawn the shoes of a foreign tourist in India and write a short autobiography upon them. So pull you socks high and enjoy this post! With a huge but flashy bag strapped on my shoulders and stomach, I traveled through those Indian streets. I had a small guide book in my hand at which I occasionally glanced to refer to and also to hide my face from those embarrassing glares. A child clad in poor clothes hindered near me begging for a penny in some language which was gibberish to me. I put an Indian note in her hand and her face lit up. Later I heard someone commenting on my foolishness saying that I had given a hundred rupee to her which was of immense value in India. I couldn’t understand why I at
