In today's fast pace of life we got so used to fake smiles and frowns that we totally forgot what real smile is...
It's so amazing what a simple smile can do.. it brings happiness not only to self but to everyone around us...It improves confidence, creates great impression.. There are also many proven health advantages...
i don't have to tell you more about what a great feeling seeing or experiencing a genuine smile.. experience it yourself by watching the following video...
KEEP SMILING!!!!! :) :) :)
Keep smiling... :)
If a car can talk....in its own words...'a typical day in india'....
Beautiful sunrise.. Im on the street side today coz my little bike bro n car bro got their spot in the garrage... i got my shower from maid... and im all ready togo... I just pray tht my boss leaves on time otherwise he would kick my ass to make sure my boss reaches on time... Clock is ticking n my boss is still nt out of his home.... Hmmmmmn.. Here he comes.... Holy god im dead today, my boss is running late today so im gonna hve hell of time today..
As expected boss started ripping me off from the beginning going 70-80km/h in narrow city roads.. 'oh ..oh.. watch out ...watch out.. a cabby is entering my way in wrong side '....kkkkkkrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.... my bones are ripped with my boss's hard braking...an immediate left cut... lower gear..zzzzuuuummm.. again im back.....going ... going... a signal approaching...i can see green from 1/2 km and i can see timer counting down 9sec-8sec-7sec... i am sure i cant make it.. i can see a huge damn city bus in front of me.. n my boss is trying best to get thru the signal.. but the bus stopped.. and i got stopped right behind the bus again with hardbrake.. just with couple of feet behind bus..damn it....im right behind big bum of that bus.. and its moving back n forth... holy s**t ..my heart is in my mouth...... and then all of sudden...sccrrrrrrtttttttcccccchhhhh... a biker scratches me to get in front of the line ..and asXXXle scratches me and waves to my boss.... i know i wont even get a bandaid for it...it will be there forever or i may have to undergo a major surgery to get this fixed as part of the surgery... some how.. with lefts n rights.. with sudden brakes... i reached safely after couple of hours... hmmmm.. now rest time for a while...
Evening came fast.. n my boss is ready to head out.. now he wants to reach home faster as everyone else..(i cant curse my boss.. but dumbXXX can leave early or very late to avoid this traffic and kicking my ass..and this is everyday nonsense).. now he is gonna take shortcuts to show me hell... as suspected he is turning into narrow streets and pushing me hard to get to 50kmph in the busy street.... and now i am cooperating...zzzummm..zzuummmm. ooooohh... no..no..no..noo..... hell no.... slow me down... slow me down.. i see a pothole.. slow me down... my boss didn't care.. and its too late by the time he saw it... ddhhhudd......front leg....ddhuuudd...back leg....kkkkkkkkkkrrrrr..... i can feel the shake of all my bones at once....ufff... back again to same speed...
going.. going.. and.. i see all my friends stopped ahead of me... traffic jam.. thank god.. i get to take a break now.... but my happiness didnt last long.. i see the damn old friend of mine leaving all the black smoke he can... uh ..uh.. my cough is getting more and more with the smoke.. and to make it worse.. a big citybus comes and stops right behind me... just couple of feets away... and he is trying to push me by moving the bus inches forward...ohh god.. it looks like my ass is gonna kiss the bus in fraction of seconds..frontside...'cough'.... back side 'kiss' .. cough..kiss.. cough..kiss... cough..kiss "oh god i should have born in america".. after sometime i slowly got moved.. i hope my boss understands and gets me out of this..i think he understood my prayer.. he pulled me away from the junkey old friend and the big bus..... with first and second gear most of the time..making that "drrrrr .. drrr...dddrrrrr" sound.. and moving slowly.. after couple of hours i reached home.. and now time for me to let my bones and body get some rest .... and prepare for another similar day tomorrow...
How well are we prepared ?
It is so heartbreaking to see the how Japan got impacted with Tsunami and earthquake. The unbelievable damage to a very well advanced country can be clearly be see in these pictures. When you see this video or another video it scares the hell out to imagine how nature can get angry with mankind. My condolences to all the Japanese people who are going through this tragedy :( .
it sends shivers down my spine when i think "what if this kind of natural calamity hits India or even United states ". How well our countries are prepared to handle these tragic situations ?
Northern california has earthquake threat from past several years and expectation is it can hit anytime. Are we prepared to handle basic water food and communication needs during time of crisis ? Our beloved phones and carriers loses signal now and then, and also sometimes it works only in some spots in homes and offices, will they be able to handle emergency communications ?
Thinking about India further scares me. Indian govt has permitted construction of high rise apartment complexes without basic escape routes, and i dont think there are any earthquake alarming systems. If you ask govt why, you would hear an answer "India doesn't have earthquake threats and last time it hit was in Gujarat and after that we are fine". How many people know what to do when they start feeling earthquake ? i am sure answer would be very few.
India also has nuclear reactors and constructing more now. How safe are these ? is there any authority constantly monitoring and ensuring all safety practices are in place... ?
If you are not aware of earth quake practices click here to know details. If you are educating others in a school or anywhere you can Click here to see Govt of US guidelines.
Thank you for reading and as always, i welcome your comments ..
