Special People
No matter what happens, they always understand.
They go a million miles out of their way.
They hold your hand, they bring you smiles, when a smile is exactly what you need.
They listen, and they hear what is said in the spaces between the words.
They care, and they let you know you're in their prayers.
Special people always know the perfect thing to do.
They can make your whole day just by saying something that no one else could have said.
Sometimes you feel like they share with you a secret language that others can't tune into.
Special people can guide you, inspire you, comfort you, and light up your life with laughter.
Special people understand your moods and nurture your needs, and they lovingly know just what you're after.
When your feelings come from deep inside and need to be spoken to someone; you don't have to hide them, you share ... with special people.
When good news comes, special people are the first ones you turn to.
When feelings overflow and tears need to fall, special people help you through it all.
Special people bring sunlight into your life.
They warm your world with their presence, whether they are far away or close by your side.
Special people are gifts that bring happiness, and treasures that money can't buy.
Specially for love of my life,my wife..Neha..

How to Impress a Woman!!
Step 1
Ask her about herself, her ambitions, her life. Be interested. It's a rare woman who wants to sit around all night listening to a man talk about himself. And the more you try to impress her with your tales of adventure, the less impressed she'll be.
Step 2
Be presentable. Women are notorious accessorizers, and whether she'll admit it to you or not, you are an accessory. Other women will judge her on her choice. A clean, good-smelling man with well-fitting clothes is a real prize.
Step 3
Make eye contact. A lot. And smile - in a friendly way. Don't leer.
Step 4
Be a gentleman. It's a myth that chivalry is dead, right? There are just a few women out there messing it up for the rest of us who really do like to have doors held open for us.
Step 5
Learn to dance. Women will flock to you - all of them will be impressed.
Step 6
Be funny without being crude. It's an art.
Step 7
Compliment her. Notice her shoes or her watch - something that shows you're paying attention. We'll change our clothes six times before we leave the house; it's nice to find someone who appreciates the final choice.
Step 8
It's hard for a woman not to be impressed with a man who is impressed with her. If you really like her, tell her so. You don't have to make a big deal about it, just let her know you admire her.
How to impress a woman you like!
However, what most guys don't realize is this: the best way to impress a woman on a date or at any other time is by not trying to impress her at all. Think about it - we all know that women find confidence to be one of the most attractive qualities in guys, but what is confidence exactly, and what makes a guy come across as confident with women? Well, it's exactly that - not trying to impress any woman but acting exactly the same way he would if he weren't around her - that's what makes a guy attractive and even sexually desirable to a woman - being "natural," "normal" and "himself." Virtually any way to purposely impress a woman, such as taking her out to very expensive dinners, buying her generous gifts, driving too fast, bragging about your wealth and accomplishments, etc., will only make you less attractive in her eyes because it screams insecurity: "Please like me, please take me, look how much I do for you to impress you, don't you see how much I care about you, don't you want to compensate me for all my efforts?" But guess what - women usually say "no" unless they want to take advantage of the guy. They smell insecurity and desperation on a guy who is eager to show them how much he cares about them and who does everything "too early and too much."
A woman who wants a lover and not a sponsor would much rather be with a man who doesn't need to prove himself to her but who believes in his own worth and in his ability to attract her with who he is by simply spending time with her. A truly confident guy's frame of mind is this: "I am a great guy, I am fun, funny, and interesting. I am not interested in most women, but like you, and I want to share with you my time, space. I want to share with you my knowledge, views and opinions on things because they are valuable and intersting. And if that's not enough for you - if that's not what makes you interested to be with me, then I am sorry - I am not the one for you."
This means that the next time you meet a girl and you are thinking about asking her out, you shold stop worrying once and for all about what the two of you will be doing on your date. The moment you feel the pressure to impress her by the exciting things you will be doing on your first date, you should stop and ask yourself: why do I need to impress her? Is this because it's not going to be fun for us to just spend time together over a cup of tea and while talking a simple walk together? If the answer to these questions is "yes" in your mind, this means that either you are not a good match, or you are not ready to go out and be as confident and attractive as you should be and you should work on that before you go out with the next girl.
Make no mistake about it - women can tell when you try too hard to impress them and few things turn them off more than a man's desperate attempt to seek validation and reassurance from a woman and be liked at any cost. So, remember - the best way to impress a woman is by not trying to impress her!
Impressing Woman!!
Here are some of the signs that a guy is feeling the need to "impress" the woman that he's talking to:
1) He tries to only say "cool" things, or things that will "impress" the woman.
2) He acts nervous and stilted during the conversation... sometimes coming across as "formal".
3) He tries to figure out what the woman wants to hear.
4) If he says something that the woman doesn't like, he "back-pedals" and tries to change what he said to suit the woman.
5) He doesn't say anything "risky", doesn't tease the woman, and doesn't do anything to upset her....in other words, when a guy is talking to a woman that he "likes", he's usually on his "best behavior", and he's trying to "put his best foot forward".
To say it again, MEN FEEL A POWERFUL DRIVE TO IMPRESS THE WOMAN THAT THEY "LIKE".And this drive to impress often makes them act UNNATURAL.
There's your first hint, in fact...
THE SECRET is:STOP TRYING.
If you will just STOP TRYING to impress women, instead, women will NATURALLY be "impressed" by you.
TRYING TO IMPRESS A WOMAN DOESN'T IMPRESS HER.
So let's break this down...WHY IMPRESSING WOMEN IS THE WRONG ROADWhat's wrong with trying to "impress" women, anyway?
To start with, EVERYTHING.When you intentionally try to impress a woman, you send the following messages on a "subtle" level:
1) I don't think you'll like me for who I am, so I will try to "impress" you instead.
2) I'm not comfortable enough around women to just act normal.
3) I don't have a lot of experience with attractive women.
4) I'm insecure.
5) I don't know how to make women feel comfortable with me.
Ouch.But it's the truth.Women can TELL INSTANTLY when you're "trying".
The conversation doesn't feel "normal", your body language is strange, and you can't seem to have a regular conversation.
MOST MEN DO THIS WITH MOST ATTRACTIVE WOMEN MOST OF THE TIME. IN OTHER WORDS, IT'S OLD NEWS. IT'S BORING. IT'S PREDICTABLE. AND IT DOES NOT IMPRESS AT ALL.
The bottom line is that trying to impress a woman usually has the OPPOSITE effect.It not only makes you look like a nervous guy who can't make normal conversation... it also bores the hell out of women.
WHAT TO DO INSTEAD , KEEP THE HUMOR GOING. MORE IMPORTANTLY, there are a few things you can do that will INSTANTLY impress a woman... and I mean REALLY impress her.But these things aren't OBVIOUS.The most IMPORTANT thing you can do to IMPRESS a woman is make her feel a powerful emotional ATTRACTION for you.This feeling will stay with her long after you have left and gone home.And it's the one thing that will make women pursue YOU... and try to impress YOU.
Stop trying to IMPRESS women. Stop now.

THE SINGLE LIFE:
While marriage may provide certain benefits, when you choose to stay single, you're keeping the door open for many more options and opportunities in your life. Your male independence is something you should never surrender lightly, even if you think you've met the girl of your dreams.So think twice (or maybe three times) before you take that long walk down the aisle.
If you're still not sure about it, however, here's one last reason for staying single: You don't have to deal with in-laws.

Top 10 Reasons To Remain Single....
You don't have to tolerate moodiness & nagging
Fellas, how many times have you been in the doghouse because your woman was livid for reasons you still don't understand? Relish not being the target of her inexplicable mood swings, and the calm that comes when there's no nagging. When you wake up on the couch, you'll know it's because you chose to pass out there.
Number 9
You can gain weight without worrying
Just as you can spend more time buffing up at the gym, you can also just chill and let yourself go for a little while. When you're not on the market, you don't have to worry about looking like an Adonis every day. Go ahead and wear that threadbare Metallica T-shirt and those holey boxers. Enjoy the pleasure of occasionally being a slob. Just don't go so far that you can't trim down in time for when you decide to start hunting.
Number 8
You can appreciate your independence
You can use your newfound free time for solitary fun, as well as self-improvement. Being single forces you to do things for yourself, like cook, do laundry and tidy up your pad. Being skilled at many things makes you a more complete, well-rounded person -- a great card to hold when you decide to reenter the dating market.
Furthermore, independence is a great trait, and women will likely notice that you're not the needy, clingy type.
Number 7
You can control your finances
If you've ever been in a serious relationship, you know that, sooner or later, a good chunk of your budget goes into steady lady-maintenance costs. Bachelorhood gives you full financial freedom, and you never have to worry about paying for dinner or buying presents.
However, understand that this does not mean that you will save money -- on the contrary; you might be spending more on partying, buying drinks, dressing well, and so on. But at least you are the master of every single dollar you spend.
Number 6
You have more time for activities
When you're single, you have no reason to sit around doing nothing. Want to harden your body at the gym? Play a new instrument? How about watch the Die Hard trilogy for the 11th time? Who's stopping you?
You can even use the time that you'd spend pleasing a demanding girlfriend to hang with the boys. After all, isn't neglecting your friends one of the biggest sacrifices of couplehood?
Look forward to being spontaneous, not having to answer to anyone and flirting like crazy...
Number 5
You don't have to deal with another's personal habits
You used to cringe when she used your razor to shave her legs, and the scented candles she burned in every room made you sick. Now there's no irritating habits to tolerate. You can sleep peacefully without her snoring and hog all the blankets without a care in the world. You have no one to pick up after but yourself. Give your patience a well-deserved break and live in unflustered.
Number 4
You can be spontaneous
Being single lets your break out of the numbing cycle of routine. Be daring while you can. Go on a fishing trip with your crew at the drop of a hat. Push it further and head out on a wild Spring Break surrounded by gorgeous college women. Not only will you be doing something out of the ordinary, you can do it without double-checking with someone else first. This is the height of freedom.
Number 3
You can focus on your career
Life is a juggling act in which you have to keep the many elements aloft, paying equal attention to each one. But if you let one drop, you can channel your forces to the remaining parts. In the absence of a relationship, you'll have much more time to devote to your work. You can put in those extra hours on a project to impress your boss, and even take on something else. And you don't have to worry about sacrificing your love life, as you'll be single and vigorous.
Number 2
You can be your own boss
Relationships are synonymous with compromise. You eventually have to sacrifice something you really like -- a football game or extra cheese on your pizza -- for the good of the pair. Use your single time to treat yourself a little more. In small doses, selfishness is good for the soul.
Being your own boss also means answering to no one. You went to a strip club? You got the scent of some woman's perfume all over your clothes? Enjoy not having to explain your actions.
Number 1
You can flirt as you please
Nothing is worse than that nagging voice in your head telling you that you shouldn't be talking to this killer brunette in front of you. Being single gives you the complete freedom to flirt with whomever you want, whenever you want.
It also gives you the chance to sharpen your mojo so that, before you know it, you'll be the master player on your block. Since you're unattached, take this opportunity to master the art of seduction, and who knows what rewards you'll reap.
the bright side of solitude
Everything has a good side; you just have to learn how to spot it. Society places too much importance on finding a mate, something your hormones are quick to enforce. The next time you get that pesky feeling that you have to be with someone, remember these 10 points, and you'll savor the joys of being a free man.
Few Reasons To Celebrate Ur Single Status
1) Flirting is encouraged
You don't have to feel guilty about staring at that cutie from the coffee place, or oogling a particular hotie on the street.
2) Your money is your own
If you want to blow a week’s salary in Vegas, it's entirely up to you. There's no one to nag you to put it in the bank for a rainy day.
3) All the covers are yours
No waking up cold. No pulling blankets off of someone else just so you can get a few hours sleep. (And no one snoring all night to interrupt your peaceful shut-eye.)
4) Let your spirits fly!
Having a great day? Your partner can’t come home and dampen your mood. Conversely, you don’t need to cheer up anyone else.
5) You can leave your socks anywhere you want
No one will nag you to pick them up. You also won’t have to pick up socks or underwear that isn’t yours!
6) You get to meet new people
Dating is a fun activity. You get to know new people and learn what makes them tick. You can have conversations about anything and everything - not just about your significant other's day or what your kids did in school. Best of all, in going out on different dates you'll be stretching your comfort zone and discovering new activities you might not have otherwise tried.
7) You don’t answer to anyone
If Sunday is your day to watch the game, hang out at the bookstore, or swing by every rummage sale in town, no one can tell you otherwise. If you want to go to the gym or eat popcorn for dinner? Go ahead!
8) You can devote more time to your career
Singles are sometimes envious when their married coworkers duck out at five to pick up the kids, but being on your own can have distinct advantages at work. You’re more flexible; you can bail out your boss by devoting more time to an important new project and even jump on a last-minute flight to sooth an angry client. This type of availability can make your boss take notice, and hopefully, reward you.
9) Meet your friends whenever you’d like
Married and otherwise attached folks are sometimes not as flexible as their single counterparts when it comes to keeping up with friendships. So when the guys decide to grab a beer and wings at the last minute or the girls plan an after-work get together you can easily join them without worrying about someone else’s schedule.
10) You only have one set of relatives to deal with
While it can be great to have a large family get together with both sides of an extended family, it can also be a headache at times. If you’re someone that prefers a more quiet holiday by just dealing with one goofy family (your own), being single can afford you a calmer celebration.
Advantages & Disdvantages of Arranged Marriages!!
If we leave the west for a few days and transplant ourselves into any culture that promotes arranged marriages, we will, in time, realize the logic behind this practice and appreciate the reasons why they work. Some of those reasons can be attributed to the wisdom of elders. Because they raised and cared for their children, they instinctively know what’s best for their children, which includes the decision to select a life partner.
1. Risk of incompatability is diminished
Arranged marriages presuppose that two people are perfectly matched because they belong to the same culture, share the same religious upbringing, speak the same language, and raised in more or less the same socio-economic class. These identical backgrounds make it easier for the couple to communicate with each other and understand where each “is coming from.” Decisions in the upbringing of future children and their education leave little room for disparities in their thinking because of this “likeness.”
2. Idea of divorcing is unthinkable
This is another acknowledged advantage of arranged marriages. Given that the man and woman come from a similar background and therefore share the same views of marriage and family, the chance of divorce due to irreconcilable differences is not as strong as in western cultures.
Note that it is not so much the arranged marriage per se that reduces the likelihood of divorce. As we discussed in another article, most arranged marriages no longer trigger a negative reaction because a good number of them are not forced. Parents who arrange marriages are fully aware that their children can always refuse a selected partner, in which case they simply look for another suitable partner. The input from the future groom and bride carries weight. The combination, therefore, of the parents’ wisdom and consent of the child would lead to a happier union so divorce would be unlikely.
India is the perfect example of a society where arranged marriages are still the norm and where the divorce rate is very low.
3. Extended family support has its benefits
In traditional societies, spouses sometimes live with the parents or live in the same housing compound. In times of difficulty, the couple can count on the help of their parents and in-laws for physical, emotional and financial support. When the children are born and both spouses work, finding adequate babysitters is a non-issue because the grandparents pitch in the care and nurturing of the children. The children are therefore supervised by close family members instead of by complete strangers, making them comfortable because they live in an atmosphere that they know well. Needless to add, when the couple has arguments, well-meaning elders can step in and offer advice and “arbitration” sessions.
Disadvantages of Arranged Marriages
For those who learn that arranged marriages are not necessarily forced, they adopt a more tolerant attitude towards this practice. One reason for this tolerance is that arranged marriages are a cultural trademark and should not be judged using western standards. If those who marry believe it’s “no big deal” to have their marriages arranged because it is a way of life they are accustomed to, then why should outsiders try to convince them otherwise? It’s not as if they’re being dragged into the marriage against their will or being groomed as slaves.
Nevertheless, for the sake of argument, here are some disadvantages of arranged marriages:
1. Inability to make up one’s own mind
When marriages are arranged by elders or parents, this does not encourage spouses to make up their own mind about who to marry. Instead of dating and meeting people and comparing them against one’s ideals, they leave that part of the work to someone else. Should either spouse end up unhappy after being married a few years, it can be very tempting to blame one’s parents for making an unsuitable choice.
2. Love takes second priority
“Decide with your head and not with your heart” is what parents tell their children. This philosophy tends to put love in the back burner. For people who live in societies where arranged marriages are the practice, they are convinced that if they don’t feel any passionate love when it takes place, love will bloom eventually. It is more important to consider the social and economic viability of the marriage rather than put romantic love at the forefront – which will fade anyway because romantic love is at best a superficial feeling.
3. Interference from extended family
While there are benefits to having one’s extended family close by who can offer support when needed, this proximity has pitfalls. For some Muslims and others who have, in particular, been living in the west for a long time, may find this closeness a little awkward and uncomfortable. Some marital arguments and conflicts are settled better when only the spouses are involved.

Your Life - Your Likes - You Decide!!!
A long time ago, there was an Emperor who told his horseman that if he could ride on his horse and cover as much land area as he likes, then the Emperor would give him the area of land he has covered.
Sure enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and rode as fast as possible to cover as much land area as he could. He kept on riding and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible.
When he was hungry or tired, he did not stop because he wanted to cover as much area as possible.
Came to a point when he had covered a substantial area and he was exhausted and was dying. Then he asked himself, "Why did I push myself so hard to cover so much land area? Now I am dying and I only need a very small area to bury myself."
The above story is similar with the journey of our Life.
We push very hard everyday to make more money, to gain power and recognition. We neglect our health , time with our family and to appreciate the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love.
One day when we look back , we will realize that we don't really need that much , but then we cannot turn back time for what we have missed.
Life is not about making money, acquiring power or recognition . Life is definitely not about work! Work is only necessary to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life. Life is a balance of Work and Play , Family and Personal time . You have to decide how you want to balance your Life. Define your priorities, realize what you are able to compromise but always let some of your decisions be based on your instincts. Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of Life, the whole aim of human existence.
So, take it easy, do what you want to do and appreciate nature. Life is fragile , Life is short. Do not take Life for granted. Live a balanced lifestyle and enjoy Life!
Watch your thoughts ; they become words .
Watch your words ; they become actions .
Watch your actions ; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character .
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny

Difference Between Windows repair Installation & Windows Inplace Upgrade
Here are the differences between what an In Place Upgrade and a Repair Install do.
Remember:
- An In Place Upgrade is started from within a Windows XP desktop.
- A Repair is started by booting from the Windows XP CD.
What an In Place Upgrade Does and Does Not Do.
Changes made during an In Place Upgrade:
• Rolls back any Hot-Fixes, Service Packs, and Microsoft Internet Explorer upgrades to their base versions.
• Refreshes the registry and restores default registry values.
• Reapplies default permissions.
• Re-registers Component Object Model (COM) components and Windows File Protection (WFP) files.
• Re-enumerates Plug and Play devices, including the hardware abstraction layer (HAL). Re-enumerates and changes drive letters, based on the current drives and partitions that are seen during the In-Place Upgrade.
Changes Not made during an In Place Upgrade:
• Does not change the installed components and programs.
• Does not change any passwords. Does not change third-party registry entries.
• Does not change the role of the computer, for example, changing a domain controller server into a member server.
What a Repair Install Does and Does Not Do.
Changes made during a Repair Install:
• Rolls back any Hot-fixes, Service Packs, and Microsoft Internet Explorer upgrades to their base versions. This is like Setup, so any OS supplied files are overwritten with the ones from the Windows XP CD. Additionally added files are left in-place. Drivers may change depending on the version installed and if the driver is redetected and reinstalled. What drivers are installed might be dependant on what is on the system.
• Driver Cache is flushed. So all the additional driver files are removed, including SP1.cab.
• Refreshes the registry and restores default registry values. Some values are reset to default; this is like an upgrade so some settings are migrated.
• Reapplies default permissions (if allowed to). If system account is denied access, we cannot change the file or registry settings.
• Re-registers Component Object Model (COM) components and Windows File Protection (WFP) files. All OS DLL's are registered. WFP runs at the end of GUI mode setup so the files are scanned, all the files should be overwritten, but remember the driver files may still be the ones from the SP or the driver cache folder. I think, not really sure on this, the existing catalogs stay in-place so the files can be from any catalog.
• Re-enumerates Plug and Play devices, including the hardware abstraction layer (HAL). The Hal is redetected, so this could change depending on the scenario.
• Re-enumerates and changes drive letters, based on the current drives and partitions that are seen during the Repair Install.
• Catroot folder shows some of the updated cats but not all of them.
• Some of the new INF files from the service pack remain in place; the files referenced by these INF's are removed.
• Servicepacksourcefile still exists in the registry HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup. (Layout and drvindex are gone so the most common pointers to this regkey are removed. (SFC shouldn't have an issue with entry, only newly added components)
Changes Not made during a Repair Install:
• Does not change the installed components and programs.
• Does not change any passwords.
• Does not change third-party registry entries.
• Does not change user accounts or local profiles
Good 1s...
Just remove the damn battery from the clock and Enjoy life!
2. Expecting the world to treat u fairly coz u r a good person is like
expecting the lion not to attack u coz u r a vegetarian.
Think about it.
3. Beauty isn't measured by outer appearance and what clothes we wear,
but what we are inside
. So, try going out naked tomorrow and see the admiration!
4. Don't walk as if you rule the world,
walk as if you don't care who rules the world!
That's called Attitude…! Keep on rocking!
5. Every lady hopes
that her daughter will marry a better man than she did
and is convinced that her son will never find a wife as good as his father did!!!
6. He was a good man. He never smoked, drank had no affair.
When he died, the insurance company refused the claim.
They said
, he who never lived, cannot die!
7. A man threw his wife in a pond of Crocodiles?
He's now being harassed by the Animal Rights Activists for being cruel to the Crocodiles!
8. So many options for suicide:
Poison, sleeping pills, hanging,
jumping from a building, lying on train tracks,
but we chose Marriage, slow sure!
9. Only 20 percent boys have brains, rest have girlfriends!
10. All desirable things in life are either
illegal, banned, expensive or married to someone else!
11. Laziness is our biggest enemy- Jawaharlal Nehru
We should learn to love our enemies- Mahatma Gandhi
Ab aap bataaye kiski sune bapu di ya chacha di???
12. When things go wrong, when sadness fills your heart,
When tears flows from your eyes always say these words…
Eh Ganpat, chal daru la…
13. 10% of road accidents are due to drunken driving.
Which makes it a logical statement that
90% of accidents are due to driving without drinking!
This is especially for YOU.
2. A smile from you,can bring happiness to anyone,even if they don't like you.
3. Every night,SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
4. You mean the world to someone.

9. When you think the world has turned it's back on you,take a look,you most likely turned your back on the world.
10. When you think you have no chance at getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you believe in yourself,you probably sooner or later will get it.
11.Always remember complements you received,forget about the rude remarks.
12.Always tell someone how you feel about them,you will feel much better when they know
Secrets Of Love
Love begins with our thoughts. We become what we think about. Loving thoughts create loving experiences and loving relationships. Affirmations can change our beliefs and thoughts about others and ourselves. If we want to love someone, we need to consider their needs and desires. Thinking about your ideal partner will help you recognize her when you meet her.
The Second Secret - The Power Of Respect
You cannot love anyone or anything unless you first respect them. The first person you need to respect is yourself. To begin to gain self-respect asks yourself, "What do I respect about myself?" To gain respect for others, even those you may dislike, ask yourself "What do I respect about them?"
The Third Secret - The Power Of Giving
If you want to receive love, all you have to do is give it! The more love you give, the more you will receive. To love is to give of yourself freely and unconditionally. Practice random acts of kindness. Before committing to a relationship ask not what the other person will be able to give to you, but rather what will you be able to give them. The secret formula of a happy, lifelong, loving relationship is to always focus on what you can give instead of what you can take.
The Fourth Secret - The Power Of Friendship
To find a true love, you must first find a true friend. Love does not consist of gazing into each other's eyes, but rather looking outward together in the same direction. To love someone completely you must love them for who they are, not what they look like. Friendship is the soil through which love's seeds grow. If you want to bring love into a relationship, you must first bring friendship.
The Fifth Secret - The Power Of Touch
Touch is one of the most powerful expressions of love, breaking down barriers and bonding relationships. Touch changes our physical and emotional states and makes us more receptive to love.
The Sixth Secret - The Power Of Letting Go
If you love something, let it free. If it comes back to you it's yours, if it doesn't, it never was. Even in a loving relationship, people need their own space. If we want to learn to love, we must first learn to forgive and let go of past hurts and grievances. Love means letting go of our fears, prejudices, egos and conditions. "Today I let go of all my fears, the past has no power over me - today is the beginning of a new life."
The Seventh Secret - The Power Of Communication
When we learn to communicate openly and honestly, life changes. To love someone is to communicate with them. Let the people you love know that you love them and appreciate them. Never be afraid to say those three magic words: "I Love you." Never let an opportunity pass to praise someone. Always leave someone you love with a loving word - it could be the last time you see them. If you were about to die but could make telephone calls to the people you loved, who would you call, what would you say and.. Why are you waiting?
The Eighth Secret - The Power Of Commitment
If you want to have love in abundance, you must be committed to it, and that commitment will be reflected in your thoughts and actions. Commitment is the true test of love. If you want to have loving relationships, you must be committed to loving relationships. When you are committed to someone or something, quitting is never an option. Commitment distinguishes a fragile relationship from a strong one.
The Ninth Secret - The Power Of Passion
Passion ignites love and keeps it alive. Lasting passion does not come through physical attraction alone; it comes from deep commitment, enthusiasm, interest and excitement. Passion can be recreated by recreating past experiences when you felt passionate. Spontaneity and surprises produce passion. The essence of love and happiness are the same; all we need to do is to live each day with passion.
The Tenth Secret - The Power Of Trust
Trust is essential in all loving relationships. Without it one person becomes suspicious, anxious and fearful and the other person feels wrapped and emotionally suffocated. You cannot love someone completely unless you trust them completely. Act as if your relationship with the person you love will never end. One of the ways you can tell whether a person is right for you is to ask yourself, "Do I trust them completely and unreservedly?" If the answer is "no", think carefully before making a commitment.
Relationships!!!
TRUST is a very important factor for all relationships. When trust is broken, it is the end of the relationship. Lack of trust leads to suspicion, suspicion generates anger, anger causes enmity and enmity may result in separation.
A telephone operator told me that one day she received a phone call. She answered, "Public Utilities Board." There was silence. She repeated, "PUB." There was still no answer. When she was going to cut off the line, she Heard a lady's voice, "Oh, so this is PUB . Sorry, I got the number from my Husband's pocket but I do not know whose number it is."
NO POINTING FINGERS
A man asked his father-in-law, "Many people praised you for a successful marriage. Could you please share with me your secret?"
The father-in-law answered in a smile, "Never criticize your wife for her shortcomings or when she does something wrong. Always bear in mind that because of her shortcomings and weaknesses, she could not find a better husband than
you."
We all look forward to being loved and respected. Many people are afraid of losing face. Generally, when a person makes a mistake, he would look around to find a scapegoat to point the finger at. This is the start of a war. We should always remember that when we point one finger at a person, the other four fingers are pointing at ourselves.
If we forgive others, others will ignore our mistake too.
CREATING PERFECT RELATIONSHIPS?
A person visited the government matchmaker for marriage, SDU, and requested "I am looking for a spouse. Please help me to find a suitable one." The SDU officer said, "Your requirements, please." "Oh, good looking, polite, humorous , sporty, knowledgeable, good in singing and dancing. Willing to accompany me the whole day at home during my
leisure hour, if I don't go out. Telling me interesting stories when I need companion for conversation and be silent when I want to rest." The officer listened carefully and replied, "I understand you need television."
There is a saying that a perfect match can only be found between a blind wife and a deaf husband ,because the blind wife cannot see the faults of the husband and the deaf husband cannot hear the nagging of the wife. Many couples are blind and deaf at the courting stage and dream of perpetual perfect relationship. Unfortunately, when the excitement of love wears off, they wake up and discover that marriage is not a bed of roses. The nightmare begins.
NO OVERPOWERING
Many relationships fail because one party tries to overpower another,or demands too much. People in love tend to think that love will conquer all and their spouses will change the bad habits after marriage. Actually, this is not the case. There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "It is easier to reshape a mountain or a river than a person's character."
It is not easy to change. Thus, having high expectation on changing the spouse character will cause disappointment and unpleasantness.
It would be less painful to change ourselves and lower our expectations. .
RIGHT SPEECH
There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "A speech will either prosper or ruin a nation." Many relationships break off because of wrong speech. When a couple is too close with each other,we always forget mutual respect and courtesy. We may say anything without considering if it would hurt the other party.
A friend and her millionaire husband visited their construction site. A worker who wore a helmet saw her and shouted,"Hi, Emily! Remember me? We used to date in the secondary school." On the way home, her millionaire husband teased her, "Luckily you married me.Otherwise you will be the wife of a construction worker." She answered ,"You should appreciate that you married me. Otherwise, he will be the millionaire and not you."
Frequently exchanging these remarks plants the seed for a bad relationship. It's like a broken egg - cannot be reversed.
PERSONAL PERCEPTION
Different people have different perception. One man's meat could be another man's poison. A couple bought a donkey from the market. On the way home,a boy commented, "Very stupid. Why neither of them ride on the donkey?"Upon hearing that, the husband let the wife ride on the donkey. He walked besides them. Later, an old man saw it and commented, "The husband is the head of family. How can the wife ride on the donkey while the husband is on foot?" Hearing this, the wife quickly got down and let the husband ride on the donkey.
Further on the way home, they met an old Lady. She commented, "How can the man ride on the donkey but let the wife walk. He is no gentleman."
The husband thus quickly asked the wife to join him on the donkey. Then, they met a young man. He commented, "Poor donkey, how can you hold up the weight of two persons. They are cruel to you." Hearing that, the husband and wife immediately climbed down from the donkey and carried it on their shoulders.
It seems to be the only choice left. Later, on a narrow bridge, the donkey was frightened and struggled. They lost their balance and fell into the river. You can never have everyone praise you, nor will everyone condemn you. Never in the past, not at present, and never will be in the future.
Thus, do not be too bothered by others words if our conscience is clear..
BE PATIENT
This is a true story which happened in the States. A man came out of his home to admire his new truck. To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint of the truck. The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's hands into pulp as punishment. When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital.
Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to amputate the fingers from both the boy's hands. When the boy woke up from the surgery & saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, " Daddy,I'm sorry about your truck." Then he asked, "but when are my fingers going to grow back?"
The father went home & committed suicide.
Think about this story the next time someone steps on your feet or u wish to take revenge . Think first before u lose your patience with someone u love. Trucks can be repaired.. Broken bones & hurt feelings often can't. Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and the performance. We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge.
People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever.
Ur Horoscope..
Nothing seems to ruffle you more than a lack of discipline, disloyalty
and decorum. But Arians are also known to go into a rage very easily
when challenged. Those of you who have been on the receiving end of the
Aries temper know that if not calmed down they can even get violent. But
one thing is certain if the opponent remains calm and does not react to
their outburst, Arians cool down very fast. They are also the first to
apologize, which makes them easier to forgive.
TAURUS APRIL 21 - MAY 20
You are generally quiet and have control over your emotions. It is
difficult to predict what will upset you, so when you do lose your cool,
people don't know how to react. Your temper is like that of a raging
bull, and anyone trying to pacify you will be the first one to get a
verbal bashing. You generally get upset when you are concerned or when
people accuse you of doing something wrong. You also hate being reminded
about mistakes you've made in the past. You also have the potential to
be terribly vindictive if rubbed the wrong way.
GEMINI MAY 21 - June 29
You are recognised by your cheerful disposition and your jovial nature
is easily susceptible to anger. In fact, you are the best person to have
around when there is an ugly scene at a party you can bring the warring
factions together quite diplomatically. But when you lose cool, you yell
and scream and will not listen to reason. You must have the last word in
a wordy duel. Your capacity to argue aggressively is matched only by
your seductive charm.
CANCER JUNE 21 - JULY 21
Considering how charming, caring and kind you are, you dislike
unpleasant scenes, much less creating one yourself. You have great
tolerance and rarely get provoked into losing your temper. If someone is
unreasonable or trying to create trouble, you are more likely to walk
away quietly. But that does not mean you do not have a temper. When
angry, in your effort to control your emotions, you tremble, your hands
get sweaty and sometimes you fumble for words. Tears roll down your eyes
easily and the opponent is touched by your innocence and will seek an
apology immediately.
LEO JULY 22 - AUGUST 21
If anyone has total control over their emotions, it is you. But then,
you can be described as stiff, cold and uncaring. You are known to lack
spontaneity but you really don't care about opinions. You don't like to
create scenes and will never accept invitations to a party where you
suspect the presence of an unruly lot. But your very presence seems
challenging to some and they take vicarious pleasure in your disquiet.
When angry you can use critical language. A dressing down can humiliate
your opponent, causing a strain between both of you forever.
VIRGO AUGUST 22 - SEPTEMBER 21
Most of you are gentle and have full control over your emotions but
those of you given to temper tantrums can certainly get violent. When
see things with rage, you yell and shout and tend to break things lying
close at hand. You can even harm yourself by banging your hands on a
glass top table or wall. You should never get into any argument, for you
are a sore loser. You feel that others are trying to persecute you and
don't quite respect your opinions. When hurt, you can also hold grudges
forever.
LIBRA SEPTEMBER 22 - OCTOBER 22
Did someone say that you are the charmers of the zodiac? Well, it's
true. Few have ever seen you ruffled or angry. You are very conscious of
your image, and you believe that anger distorts your face and
personality. You also think you are above things like anger. But wait
before you get into self-congratulatory mood. Your family or those very
close to you know you better. You have an unmatched temper amongst all
the zodiac signs, and what makes it worse is your capacity to justify
it.
SCORPIO OCTOBER 23 - NOVEMBER 21
Of course you don't lose your cool. But your very demeanor (manner)
projects haughtiness (arrogance, pride), pride and grand disdain
(disregard) for lesser mortals (human). Others are often found saying
that anger sits on your nose and you are raring to give your piece mind
to the first person who try to be funny with you. You are selective in
the choice of your friends, and have a low tolerance for the superfluous
(extra) types. Your tongue-lashing (attack) is generally in a soft
hissing tone for when you scream, your voice tends to get shrill and
loud and you do hate drawing attention to yourself! When upset, you are
angrier with yourself for having shown weakness, for the last thing that
Scorpio wants to show is being out of control.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 - DECEMBER 20)
You are insensible and generally have no complete control over your
emotions. You do get angry quickly and others marvel at your anger
levels even when provoked. Actually, you get tongue-tied when angry and
you will remove your anger waiting for the other person to calm down.
Then you will reason with your opponent and convince the other person in
a very gentle manner that the whole thing was just his mistake. You're
also likely to totally sever ties with someone when you're upset with
them.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 21 - JANUARY 19)
Few will believe that a hardcore practical and materialistic person like
you is capable of sensitivity and genuine emotions. You project a hard
exterior but are actually very sensitive, a trait you successfully hide
from others. You can see thing with anger but will not betray your
feelings. But then, there are times that even you cannot control your
temper. Under such circumstances you can shout and scream, more with
frustration at the situation than with anger at any particular person.
Your outbursts can shock others and can make them feel guilty too.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 - FEBRUARY 18)
You are noble and kind and dislike losing control over your emotions. It
is very rare for you to get angry. You are also the pacifier in
situations that involve arguments. It is always your endeavor to be
perfect and socially correct in your behavior and attitude, but if
misunderstood and slighted you can give in to an angry outburst. You
will shout and scream and then walk out from the scene. You cannot
easily forget the situation and will be bitter about it for a long time.
PISCES (FEBRUARY 19 - MARCH 20)
The only thing that can be said about you dreamers is that you appear
even more attractive when angry. You are very sensitive to others'
feelings, so you rarely hurt them. But when others tend to hurt you,
then things take a nasty turn. You will yell and use harsh words and
feel inclined to shake everything and everyone up. Your creative
imagination is at its best when angry, and you tend to get pretty
dramatic. When upset, you refuse to listen to reason and wish to be left
alone. But once you calm down, you repent your tantrums and seek
forgiveness. SO nobody can be upset with you for too long.
Nine words women use...
2.) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
3! .) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
4.) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.)
6.) That's Okay: This is one of the ! most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
7.) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you're welcome.
8.) Whatever: Is a women's way of saying F **K U!
9.) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking "What's wrong?" For the woman's response refer to.
रिश्ते
अपनों की ही बाँहो में मरते हुए देखा है
टूटते, बिखरते, सिसकते, कसकते
रिश्तों का इतिहास,
दिल पे लिखा है बेहिसाब!
प्यार की आँच में पक कर पक्के होते जो,
वे कब कौन सी आग में झुलसते चले जाते हैं,
झुलसते चले जाते हैं और राख हो जाते हैं!
क्या वे नियति से नियत घड़ियाँ लिखा कर लाते हैं?
कौन सी कमी कहाँ रह जाती है
कि वे अस्तित्वहीन हो जाते हैं,
या एक अरसे की पूर्ण जिन्दगी जी कर,
वे अपने अन्तिम मुकाम पर पहुँच जाते हैं!
मैंने देखे हैं कुछ रिश्ते धन-दौलत पे टिके होते हैं,
कुछ चालबाजों से लुटे होते हैं-गहरा धोखा खाए होते हैं
कुछ आँसुओं से खारे और नम हुए होते हैं,
कुछ रिश्ते अभावों में पले होते हैं-
पर भावों से भरे होते है! बड़े ही खरे होते हैं !
कुछ रिश्ते, रिश्तों की कब्र पर बने होते हैं,
जो कभी पनपते नहीं, बहुत समय तक जीते नहीं
दुर्भाग्य और दुखों के तूफान से बचते नहीं!
स्वार्थ पर बनें रिश्ते बुलबुले की तरह उठते हैं
कुछ देर बने रहते हैं और गायब हो जाते हैं;
कुछ रिश्ते दूरियों में ओझल हो जाते हैं,
जाने वाले के साथ दूर चले जाते हैं !
कुछ नजदीकियों की भेंट चढ़ जाते हैं,
कुछ शक से सुन्न हो जाते हैं !
कुछ अतिविश्वास की बलि चढ़ जाते हैं!
फिर भी रिश्ते बनते हैं, बिगड़ते हैं,
जीते हैं, मरते हैं, लड़खड़ाते हैं, लंगड़ाते हैं
तेरे मेरे उसके द्वारा घसीटे जाते हैं,
कभी रस्मों की बैसाखी पे चलाए जाते हैं!
पर कुछ रिश्ते ऐसे भी हैं
जो जन्म से लेकर बचपन जवानी - बुढ़ापे से गुजरते हुए,
बड़ी गरिमा से जीते हुए महान महिमाय हो जाते हैं !
ऐसे रिश्ते सदियों में नजर आते हैं !
जब कभी सच्चा रिश्ता नजर आया है
कृष्ण की बाँसुरी ने गीत गुनगुनाया है!
आसमां में ईद का चाँद मुस्कराया है!
या सूरज रात में ही निकल आया है!
ईद का चाँद रोज नहीं दिखता,
इन्द्रधनुष भी कभी-कभी खिलता है!
इसलिए शायद - प्यारा खरा रिश्ता
सदियों में दिखता है, मुश्किल से मिलता है पर,
दिखता है, मिलता है, यही क्या कम है .. !!!

Kissing Explained
And don't just leave kisses to the lips. Kiss their cheeks, their chin or their eyelids. This can be very seductive and romantic.
Basic Kissing Tips
Great Breath - This is very important. Make sure you brush your teeth before going out on your date. There is nothing worse than kissing someone with bad breath.
If your date consists of having something to eat before the actual kiss, make sure you have a mint on hand to take right after you finish eating. Don't take the mint just before the kiss or chew on gum. You don't want to have something in your mouth when you kiss. Moist Lips - You want your lips to be slightly moist when you kiss. Run your tongue over your lips once before you kiss. Don't wear lip gloss because that tends to make the kiss too gooey. And don't wear a lot of lipstick unless you want your partner to wear it too after the kiss. Slightly moist lips makes it easier to move your lips over your partner's and gives both you and your partner a more pleasant experience.
Positioning - Stand close to your partner. As the two of you move closer together tilt your head slightly. If you can see which way your partner's head is tilting, tilt your head slightly in the opposite direction. Close Eyes - Just before your lips meet, close your eyes. Some people prefer to leave their eyes open during the kiss. But until you know what your partner prefers, it is best to close your eyes.
Open Lips - Open your mouth slightly and place your lips over your partner's lips. Do not hold your breath! Breath through your nose. As your lips meet, press them gently over your partner's. You may wish to move your lips in a slow, circular motion or just leave them still over your partners. Closed Lips - This is like the type of kiss you'd give your grandma or aunt. Instead of opening your mouth when your lips meet, keep them closed. This is also a good way of letting your partner know this is as far as it goes. It also makes a great hello/good-bye kiss or a great first time kiss if you're nervous.
French Kissing
This is the most popular type of kiss. This involves touching your tongue with your partner's and it can be quite a pleasant experience. There are a few tips to create a great french kiss.
Open Lips - Open your lips over your partner's slightly more than you would during a regular kiss. This makes it easier to place your tongue in your partner's mouth.
Tongue - Place the tip of your tongue on the tip of your partner's tongue. Do not force your tongue too far into their mouth. If you wish, you can play with their tongue by circling theirs with your own. Have fun with it. Explore.
Lips - You may explore different ways of using your tongue. Try running the tip of your tongue over your partner's lips. Do this slowly and gently, just using the tip of your tongue.
Suck Kissing
This can be a very seductive type of kiss. Instead of French Kissing with your mouth open, while your partner's lips are parted suck on their top our bottom lip with your own, just for a second or two. Then go back to another type of kiss or try the other lip.
Nip KissingThis type of kiss has to be done carefully, but when done correctly can create a wonderful effect on your date. While suck kissing, gently bite their lip, but be VERY gentle so as not to hurt your date / partner. This kiss should only be done with someone that you've kissed a few times before, otherwise you may shock your partner.
Surprise KissingThis type of kiss is done when your partner is lying down on a sofa or the ground, either asleep or just lying with their eyes closed. Quietly approach your partner and place a small, very gentle kiss on their lips. Intensify the kiss until your partner opens their eyes or awakens.
