Five virtues to strive for.....
1)
You must
constantly lose your temper not on others but on yourself, when you feel you
could have done better.
2)
You should
be sincerely ashamed of yourself, when you do a deed not permitted by your
conscience.
3)
You must
get very angry and upset with yourself, if you are not
motivated to do good in thought , word or deed.
4)
You must
curse yourself if you are not inspired and prompted to do good everyday.
Cell phone manners.....
New technology has created a whole new set of etiquette
requirements. For better or worse, mobile phones are a big part in todays
modern world. This gadget is definitely for the better . If you are in an
emergency, mobile phone can be a life saver.
Many articles have appeared in newspapers or magazines
regarding the use and misuse of mobile phones. Today mobile phones are used by
everyone in society….big or small, urban or rural.
However nothing about
a mobile phone excuses the user from good telephone manners. Although most
people don’t mean to be rude many get into a sort of a bubble while talking
over the phone.. They are unaware or unconscious, unconcerned and seem to
forget the people around them. Many times we come across people talking non stop and loudly in buses , trains and other
public places creating a nuisance around. Sometimes the conversation will leak
out secret information also to the people listening which can be dangerous.
Also, you would have experienced while watching a movie and
during the climax scene a person some 2 rows ahead of you starts speaking on
his cell phone. Its such a irritation. You just cannot enjoy the movie. There are
numerous examples you would have experienced yourself….
To have good cell phone manners we need to follow certain
basic etiquette’s….
If you have to pick the call when in public, speak with a
very low tone so that no one is disturbed. Best if the call is picked up and
the matter is not urgent, tell you will call back.
Message to the caller that you will call back and cannot
take his call now..
Never pick a call when you are in a silent zone (hospital,
libraries…) and always keep the mobile in vibrate mode only.
There were
no mobile phones in the past and still people communicated effectively. If we
do not speak in public and call later the world will not end. It is just some
common sense required that will plague this problem. .......

Harbhajan Singh & Monty Panesar.....
The Mumbai test has been a contrast for the 2 sardars…. Monty
panesar and Harbhajan singh.
Both made a comeback and put in their best effort. However
Monty won the battle with his superlative bowling helping England score a easy
win over india. The difference between them was how they approached the test
match. While monty was his usual self, harbhajan was tensed and a good
performance was always on his mind which
made him falter in line and length.
The third test is a big opportunity for harbhajan who will
again get a turner as requested by Dhoni. One good test match will make all the
difference. Harbhajan is a fighter and the Calcutta test match must see him
spin India to victory.
If the batsmen put enough runs on the board, spinners will
deliver. Time for harbhajan to come back to the party.
All the best Harbhajan……….you are much better than monty……show
your class at the eden gardens.
If your WIFE is Happy...your LIFE is Happy.

Words....think before you say......
Some words heal and some words hurt.
Some cause sorrow and some cause mirth.
Some words harsh bring grief and tears.
Some words soothe troublesome fears.
Some words kill and some give life.
Some hit us hard as steel tipped knife.
Some bring hope to sinking heart.
Some cause husband and wife apart.
Harsh words come from a thoughtless mind.
Sweet words belong to a heart that is kind.
So are you, open not your mouth in haste
Think well each word, speak well in taste.

Good job England....& monty.
England defeated India in what was considered a match which India will win comfortably before the start of the test match given the turning track as asked by Dhoni. The turning track back fired and englands spinners did a fine job in comparison to indian spinners who just did not get much purchase from the wicket. The difference which i feel was the bowling styles of the spinners . Both Swan and panesar were flat and bowled much faster whereas the indians relied more on flight. With the ball coming quick the indians did not have much time to think whether to play forward or back.
Apart from bowling, englands biggest adavantage is the form of Cook. He has led from the front and his form has helped the team score enough runs to put the opposition under pressure. Pietersons knock was the turning point in the test match coz he dealt with the indian spinners ruthlessly .
Monty panesar had a great match and it was fun watching him celebrate every wicket.
with the series one all , the pressure will be on India and the spinners in particular to deliver.
England will only be keen to get the other top batsmen in form to push india to another defeat....
Good job england.......and way to go MONTY.

3 fascinating tests..........
The ongoing 3 test matches across the world have produced some of the most fascinating cricket in the last few days.....
Australia vs South africa saw aussie captain Clarke notch up his fourth double hundred this year. South Africa replied strongly with captian Smith scoring a hundred....its turning out to be a captians test.
The test between Bangaladesh and West indies saw the number 10 batsman score a hundred...only the second time in history of test cricket. Very storng reply by WI.
The test between India and England saw Pujara score his second consective hundred on a pitch which offered a lot to spinners. Everyone expected Sehwag to score a hundred in his 100th test appearance but that was not to be. Pujara impressed once again with his temparement. He was cool and always looked for poor deliveries to score. Other top indian batsmen failed to impress.
All the three test matches have seen fascinating contest between bat and ball......can we consider it the revival of test cricket !!!
Thats all from me....
Till tomorrow....

Don't Quit
Don't Quit
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh.
When care is pressing you down a bit.
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns
As every one of us sometimes learns.
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out:
Don't give up though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.
And you never can tell how close you are.
It may be near when it seems so far:
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
"If you work just for money, you'll never make it, but if you love what you're doing and you always put the customer first, success will be yours."
You do not have to make the most money to be considered a success. When it comes to happiness, money is not the most important thing. First, love what you are doing and take full pleasure in committing yourself entirely to your work and the needs of your customers. This positive outlook will determine your new found success.
one up.......3 to go.....
the second test between india and england begins on 23rd nov. best chance for india to carry on the momentum and go up 2 nil in the 4 match series.
india has to go with an additional spinner at the cost of one batsmen as most of the top order are in form. since it is going to be a turning track, harbhajan must be included in the playing 11.
best wishes to sehwag on his 100th appearance .....can we get to see a 100 from him.
Dhoni must not be worried about steve waugh's comments . the aussies have prepared pitches that have suited their bowlers.
go india......crush the englishmen.
