1-0-8 Emergency Response Service

Friends,

 

Before you start reading through this email ensure that you have some 5 to 10 minutes time to read and understand about this service. 

No one would ever know when it will be a life risking emergency for any one amongst us and in those situations this will sure come handy.  As what I have heard from two other friends of mine who have made use of this service, this is really excellent and is sure a recommended service in case of an emergency. 

 

 

Thanks

Sreenath

Do not call 1-0-8 if there is no ‘serious people emergency’. It is not a number for enquiry or information gathering. Do not play around by dialing 1-0-8 as a joke.

1-0-8 The Magic Number

1) 1-0-8 is a technologically acceptable number enabling the processing of calls to occur faster

2) 1-0-8 functions effectively as a user friendly number because during a crisis situation the eye automatically searches the first digit on the number pad which is 1 and then moves downward to find 0.This is the exact order in which 1-0-8 is being laced.

3) 1-0-8 is a primordial number resonating accross countries, cultures, religions and is also a prime number to astrologers, astronomers, linguists and mathematicians.

4) 1-0-8 beads of a rosary for 108 incantations is a namajapa of a Personal God.

5) Krishna is said to have danced with 108 Gopis the ecstatic Raasa Leela on moon lit nights in Brindavan.

6) Cosmic Dancer Lord Natraja danced the 108 karanas or momentory freezes.

7) The ancient Indians were excellent mathematicians and 108 may be the product of a precise mathematical operation (eg. 1 power * 2 power 2 * 3 power 3 = 1080 which was thought to have special numerological significance.

8) Sanskrit alphabet: There are 54 letters in the Sanskrit alphabet.Each has a masculine and feminine, shiva and shakti, 54 times 2 is 108.

9) Heart Chakra : The chakras are the intersection of  energy lines and there are said to be a total of 108 energy lines converging to form the heart chakra.One of them sushuma leads to the crown chakra, and is said to be the path of self realisation.

10) The diameter of the sun is 108 times the diameter of the earth.

11) The number 108 is used in Islam to refer to God.

12) In the Jain religion , 108 are the combined virtues of five categories of  holy ones, including 12, 8, 36, 25 and 27 virtues respectively.

13) It is said that the human soul goes through 108 stages on a journey.

14) In Japan, at the end of the year, a bell is chimed 108 times to finish the old year and welcome the new one.Each ring represents one of 108 earthly temptations a person must overcome to achieve nirvana.

Date with a Woman....!!!

DATE WITH A WOMAN

 

 

After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said I love you but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you.

 

The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.

 

That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie.

 

'What's wrong, are you well,' she asked? My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news.

 

'I thought that it would be pleasant to be with you,' I responded. 'Just the two of us.'

 

She thought about it for a moment, and then said, 'I would like that very much.'

 

That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous.

 

When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary.

                                                                                                                     

She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel's.

 

'I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed, 'she said, as she got into the car. 'They can't wait to hear about our meeting'. We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady.

 

After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Large print. Half way through the entries, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips.

 

'It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small,' she said.

 

'Then it's time that you relax and let me return the favor,' I responded.

 

During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation - nothing extraordinary, but catching up on recent events of each other's life. We talked so much that we missed the movie.

 

As we arrived at her house later, she said, 'I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.' I agreed.

 

'How was your dinner date?' asked my wife when I got home. 'Very nice.

Much more so than I could have imagined,' I answered.

 

A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn't have time to do anything for her.

 

Sometime later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place mother and I had dined.

 

An attached note said: 'I paid this bill in advance. I wasn't sure that I could be there; but nevertheless, I paid for two plates - one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me.

 

I love you, son.'

 

At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: 'I LOVE YOU!' and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than God and your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till 'some other time.'

 

The source of this story may be unknown but the situation is true for most of the married couples be it with gentleman or the lady.  So lets take this chance to tribute  our one and only incomparable angel and the angels better half in our life and cherish them with more moments of joy through her life in their years to come….

 

Cheers to all those lovely hearts like mine who are feeling proud about your parents on reading this email now…!!!!!

 

 

Have a great week ahead…

Sree….

Are you planning to get married..??

Are you planning to get married..?? – Here’s wat you need to know, so read on

There are times in a person's life when he needs to take crucial decisions on his own. Marriage is one of them. Believe me, the decision on whom to marry is the most important decision a person will make in his life. After marriage, your wife is the most important person in your life. She can make or break your life. The mere thought of this is very frightening.

Some of the questions that crop up are -

a.. What sort of a girl do I marry?
b.. Will she adjust in my family?
c.. How can I decide on a girl by just meeting her for a few times?
d.. When should I get married?
e.. This is my life. So, I should choose the girl I marry, but then what if I make a mistake? .. so on and so forth.

I will try to address these & many more questions in the following sections.

The Nine Rules of Arranged marriage

Rule 1 - Magic no. 28

In an ideal scenario, a girl goes to college at the age of 18. By the time she graduates, goes for her post graduation and/ or works for 1-2 years, she will be about 23- 24. This means that she has spent about 5 years away from her home. In the 5 years period, she would meet many smart guys at college or during her first few years on job. So, in all probability it would be difficult to find a good girl older than 24 yrs. Secondly, in Indian families there is lot of pressure on the girl's to get married by the time they become 24-25.

Statistics says that there is a generation gap after every 5 years. So, in such scenario, one would prefer to marry a girl who is about 3-4 years younger to you. Thus, working backwards, an ideal age for a guy to get married is by 28. Earlier the marriage, the better it is.

 Well, as we all know, in the current market scenario, there will never be stability in our career. So, I believe there is no such thing as, "I will marry when I settle down".

 Rule 2 -- Subset of marriage-able girls

 At times you hear statements like, "I am not getting the right match, I will look after 3 months, I will find a better match then". Well the truth is otherwise. The subset of unmarried girl looking for a match is fixed. From this subset, there would be girls who would get married & there would be new girls added who would be looking for a match. The net result is that at any given time, the variety & number of marriage-able girls are fixed.

 Rule 3 - Competition for girls

 Like all other facets of life, there is lot of competition for good girls. So, if you are looking for a girl who is post graduate, done her Engg, is working, very beautiful, smart, from a good family etc. etc, just think again. There are other guys who are also looking for similar girls & probably they are better off than you in terms of career, looks personality etc. Given a choice every guy would like to marry Aishwarya Rai. So, set your expectations accordingly.

 Rule 4 -- Understanding girls

 You would have met a lot of people during your life. As we all know, its difficult to judge a person based on a few meetings. I am sure you would agree with me that in case of girls it is even more difficult to understand them in a few meetings. I know people who are still trying to understand their wife. ;-).. Understanding your spouse is a life long assignment. So, then how do you select a girl based on a few meeting? This is where you need to take the help of your parents/ friends & latest technologies like email/chat to choose your girl.

 Rule 5 - Society expectation

 The selection process is tough on every one who is involved in the process. In arranged marriage, involvement of family & society is pretty high. You can't meet a girl 3-4 times & then say no to her. It is bad for her future. So, you should have a good short-listing criterion. Meet only a few girls & be sure what you are looking for. It is for the benefit of everyone involved.

 Rule 6 -- Marriage between equals

 Unlike love marriage, in arranged marriage you also marry into the girl's family. In arranged marriages, family support plays a major role in ensuring a successful marriage. This is where the compatibility of social status, family values & caste/religion plays a major role. Its important to note that in case there is a perfect match between the two families, the marriage is destined to succeed.

 Rule 7 - Know yourself

 Unlike love marriage, in arranged marriage you first marry a person & then fall in love. So, it's very important that you do a self-assessment on the kind of person you would love. They say, "Opposite attract", while they also say, "Bird of same feather flock together". So, you take a call on what sort of person you like. Take a pen & paper; write down the kind of attributes you are looking for in a girl. Say, she should ideally have the looks of Sonia, the style of Monica, the voice of Sheena, the patience of Rashmi. You will certainly not find the perfect girl, but then you would have a good idea of what you are looking for. The secret here is to set some minimum criteria for selection. Don't forget rule no.3 here.

 Rule 8 -- Girl's Beauty

 A girl's looks attract, but then no one wants to end up marrying a dumb It is like buying your bike. When you initially buy it, you are crazy about the looks, but later on you love it for its reliability, fuel economy & comfort level. Similarly, a girl's looks are important, but then it should not be the most important criteria. Later on in life, you will get bored of her looks. It is then that her personality & behavior will make all the difference to your marriage. I am sure your parents will be able to advice you a lot better on this topic.

 Rule 9 -- Taking advice

 As I have mentioned in the next rule, it's very important that the final decision on whom to marry must necessarily be yours. However, don't do the mistake of isolating yourself from the world while planning your marriage. Discuss with your parents & very close friends on this issue. They are your well wishers. Secondly, in such important matters its necessary that you analyze all possibilities. Remember, I am not suggesting that you follow others' advice, but don't forget to take their advice.     

Rule 10 -- Own decision

 All said & done, it's your marriage & your life that is at stake. Once you are married, you & your wife are the only persons who will be facing the music. Don't marry a girl just because your parents or friends asked you to do so. After marriage, if things don't work out & you end up saying, "It's because of my friends or my parents that I married you", then your marriage is destined for disaster. If the girl is of your choice, it is you who will be responsible for whatever happens. That's when the marriage works out perfectly. So, ensure that you marry the girl of your choice.       

How to approach the selection process?

 From the day, a person decides to get married; the selection process takes a minimum of 3 months. The whole process needs a lot of patience & commitment. The ideal steps to be followed are:

 a.. Definition phase -

Define the minimum criteria for the kind of life partner you are looking for in terms of education, physical appearance, social status, family values, future career plans. Remember the Rule 3 here.

b.. Lead Generation phase -

Place ads in various newspapers, magazines, websites, through friends, family friends, family societies & association etc. You need to exhaust all possible means of getting bio-datas at one go. Remember the Rule 2 here.

c.. Short listing phase -

Based on your selection criteria, short-list the interesting bio-datas. The general process followed for correspondence is as follows:

1.     The initiator sends a one page profile of himself/herself.

2.     Based on the profile, the receiver sends his/her one page profile along with request for detailed profile, photo, horoscope.

3.     The initiator then sends the requested information along with a request for similar information.

4.     The receiver sends similar information.

5.     If the bio-data is selected, it is passed over to the next phase.

A.. Casual interaction phase -

Based on short listing, about 7 to 10 bio-datas are taken forwarded to this phase. The next step to follow here is to exchange email/ chat ids. The guy & the girl then interact for 10 - 15 days to try & judge mutual compatibility through email/chat.

B.. Family interaction phase -

Based on the earlier phase, about 5 leads are taken for consideration in this phase. During this phase, the parents get involved & check the background information about the families to find mutual compatibility.

C.. The dating phase -

Based on the earlier phase about 3 leads are taken forward to this phase. During this phase, the guy & the girl interact by going out alone for 2-3 times. The guy needs to prepare a set of simple questions like who is your favorite star, what are your hobbies? He needs to use his judgment to analyze the girl based on her responses.

D.. The D-day phase -

Finally, the D-day comes when the guy has to select the girl he wants to spend his life with. If the process if followed systematically, there will be no ambiguity in deciding who should be your life partner.

Finally, my dear friends, marriage is all about compromises. In spite of all the planning that you do, there are a lot of uncertainties in a marriage. In fact this is the best part about marriage. Just remember that the person you marry must be of your choice. In such case, there would be no going back for both of you.

A few words of advice: To make your marriage a success; just believe in the age-old virtue, "Never do anything to others that you don't like for yourself".

The World Economics...!!!

It is the month of August, on the shores of the Black Sea...
It is raining, and the little town looks totally deserted. It is tough
times, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit.
Suddenly, a rich tourist comes to town. He enters the only hotel, lays a
100 Euro note on the reception counter, and goes to inspect the rooms
upstairs in order to choose one.
The hotel proprietor takes the 100 Euro note and runs to pay his debt to
the butcher.
The butcher takes the 100 Euro note, and runs to pay his debt to the pig
grower.
The pig grower takes the 100 Euro note,
and runs to pay his debt to the supplier of his feed and fuel.
The supplier of feed and fuel takes the 100 Euro note and runs to pay his
debt to the town's prostitute that in these hard times, gave her "services"
on credit.
The hooker runs to the hotel, and pays off her debt with the 100 Euro note
to the hotel proprietor to pay for the rooms that she rented when she
brought her clients there.
The hotel proprietor then lays the 100 Euro note back on the counter so
that the rich tourist will not suspect anything.
At that moment, the tourist comes down after inspecting the rooms, and
takes his 100 Euro note, after saying that he did not like any of the
rooms, and leaves town.
No one earned anything. However, the whole town is now without debt, and
looks to the future with a lot of optimism.....
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the United States  is doing business
today...
