The siege has ended at Taj
Its been more than 57 hours now that the battle had started between the NSG commandos and the Islamic Militants which finally has come to an end. A state official says the siege has ended at Mumbai's Taj Mahal hotel and the last 3 gunmen have been killed. Over 150 people were killed and more then 300 injured when suspected Islamic militants attacked 10 sites in Mumbai. Black-clad Indian commandoes raided two luxury hotels to try to free hostages on Thursday, and explosions and gunshots shook India's financial capital a day after the attacks.
About 10 to 12 gunmen remained holed up inside the hotels and a Jewish center, Dozens of people were being held hostage at this places.
While hostages trickled out of the hotels throughout the day, witnesses said many bodies remained inside and the two-day siege showed few signs of ending quickly. Several bodies were carried out of the five-star Taj Mahal Palace and oberio & Trident Tower hotel. According to the witnesses, attackers had specifically targeted Britons and Americans inside the hotels.
A previously unknown Islamic militant group claimed responsibility for the carnage, the latest in a series of terror attacks over the past three years that have dented India's image as an industrious nation galloping toward prosperity.
The most high-profile target was the Taj Mahal hotel, a landmark of Mumbai luxury since 1903, and a favorite watering hole of the city's elite.
At least three top Indian police officers - including the chief of the anti-terror squad - were among those killed.
An Indian media report said a previously unknown group calling itself the Deccan Mujahideen claimed responsibility for the attacks in e-mails to several media outlets. There was no way to verify that claim.
Magnus Ranstorp, a terrorism specialist with the Swedish National Defense College, said there are "very strong suspicions" that the coordinated Mumbai attacks have a link to al-Qaida. He said the fact that Britons and Americans were singled out is one indicator, along with the coordinated style of the attacks.
India's prime minister blamed "external forces."
"The well-planned and well-orchestrated attacks, probably with external linkages, were intended to create a sense of panic, by choosing high profile targets and indiscriminately killing foreigners," Singh said in address to the nation.
Among the other places attacked was the 19th century Chhatrapati Shivaji railroad station - a beautiful example of Victorian Gothic architecture - where gunmen sprayed bullets into the crowded terminal, leaving the floor splattered with blood.
Other gunmen attacked Leopold's restaurant, a landmark popular with foreigners, and the police headquarters in southern Mumbai, the area where most of the attacks took place. Gunmen also attacked Cama and Albless Hospital and G.T. Hospital.

Mumbai Attacks
At least 132 people were killed and more than 300 people were injured in attacks by gunmen in India's commercial hub Mumbai.It all start on Tuesday eve at around 9.30 when small groups of gunmen armed with automatic weapons and grenades attacked the various parts of Mumbai, including Taj, Oberois and Narmian House amongst others.Even though major attacks were carried out in sothern part of Mumbai, there were few place in the north mumbai were huge blast occurred. one of the blast took place just one kilometer away from were i stay. the blast was so huge that the i could hear the blast sound even from that distance.The cab in which the blast took place was totally decimated.
It more than 36 hour now, and situation still doesn't seems to be totally under control. the NSG commandos are trying to flush out any more terrorists hiding inside the two hotels and Nariman house.
I have been glued to the news channels from the time since this incidents took place,and looking at the events which are unfolding it can be said that this was a well co-ordinated, better planned attack targeting the countries economy.
It's not often that things in terrorism alarm me. So much is a repeat of what we see almost every day, like suicide bombings. There's no real innovation in terrorism, which is why 9/11 was so terrifying, because it was so innovative and heinously clever.
But these attacks show how a handful of men, basically using weapons off the shelf, can paralyze a city and frustrate highly trained security forces. These attacks were calculated to spread alarm and anxiety - to put it quite frankly, to unhinge things - and that's exactly what they've done.

ATTITUDE
"Attitude determines altitude."
I am not quite sure who is the original author of this, but I know I
become successful, you have to have a positive I-can-do-it attitude.
But I read so much more into it. After all “success” is not the
only altitude there is. If you want to rise up and be the best person
you can be, someone others can admire for truly worthy reason, a
person you yourself can admire, adopt a sharing and caring attitude.
When we share with other people and care for other people, were rise
above the daily din. We personify the highest ideals. And no amount of
“success” as measured by dollars or titles can equal such
real-life stature.
So let’s all check our attitude for sharing and caring.
I am not quite sure who is the original author of this, but I know I

Half Truths
A Person can not be completely bad especially when the world perceives it to be like one. However nice or good; at that one moment one gives up. The bad you takes over and the good part suffocates and looks like you have no good part at all. But that's not true. It is only half truth. May be bad is easy to exaggerate and it spreads faster. Half truths are more easy to digest and spicier to chew !!
But at some moment when you clam down and be yourself; think about what has happened to you and unknowingly in comfort of your loneliness you shed those tears. That part of you which world will never see; where you are most honest and you are aware of yourself.
That moment is a complete truth. Not perceived by world; not answerable to world; but just answerable to your own self and the tears sheded in the agony of moments. That's the only complete truth.

Aversion
"Hate is a disguised form of love.
You can only hate someone that you have the capacity to love because if you are really indifferent, you cannot even get up enough energy to hate him"
I do not hate the world,
Not because I do not know
How to hate,
But because God does not want me
To hate.
I love the world,
Not because I know how to love,
But because God,
Out of His boundless Bounty,
Loves the world
In me, through me and for me
Love yourself , you have begun
Your lifelong romance.
Hate yourself., you have begun
Your lifelong battle.

HAPPY LIVING
Received this interesting mail today morning. Everything about it is, just so true... see if u feel the same.
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.'
Without mutual trust, just imagine what will happen to the couple if the telephone operator answered with just 'hello' instead of 'PUB'.
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 the 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 a nd 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. Other wise, 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 rides 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.
'Good Life starts only when you stop wanting a better One'
'Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away'
Happy Living..!!!! !!!!!

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.
'Good Life starts only when you stop wanting a better One'
'Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away'
Happy Living..!!!! !!!!!

FAILURE
Today’s topic is a sad one. The fact is, some people fail. But theydon’t fail for missing their goals. A missed goal is just deferredsuccess. There is always next time. Even if there is not an exactreplica situation next time, there is a next time.
No, people fail when they give up. When they give up, that isdeferred success aborted. People fail when they blame themselvesinstead of motivate themselves. People fail when they blame othersinstead of taking responsibility for succeeding. People fail when theychoose to fail.
As long as you persevere, you have not failed – you are squarely onthe road to success.

Live Life
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.
Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.
Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.

This Thing Called Love
There are times when we are timid and shy about expressing the love we feel. For fear of embarrassing the other person, or yourselves, we hesitate to say the actual words "I love you." So we try to communicate the idea in other words.
We say 'take care' or 'don't drive too fast' or 'be good.' But really, these are just other ways of saying 'I love you,' 'you are important to me,' 'I care what happens to you,' 'I don't want you to get hurt.' We are sometimes very strange people. The only thing we want to say, and the one thing that we should say, is the one thing we don't say. And yet, because the feeling is so real, and the need to say it is so strong, we are driven to use other words and signs to say what we really mean. And many times the meaning never gets communicated at all and the other person is left feeling unloved and unwanted .

The only thing we want to say, and the one thing that we should say, is the one thing we don't say. And yet, because the feeling is so real, and the need to say it is so strong, we are driven to use other words and signs to say what we really mean. And many times the meaning never gets communicated at all and the other person is left feeling unloved and unwanted .
Therefore, we have to LISTEN FOR LOVE in the words that people are saying to us. Sometimes the explicit words are necessary, but more often, the manner of saying things is even more important. A joyous insult carries more affection and love within the sentiments which are expressed insincerely .
An impulsive hug says I LOVE YOU even though the words might be saying very different. Any expression of a person's concern for another says I love you. Sometimes the expression is clumsy, sometimes even cruel. Sometimes we must look and listen very intently for the love that contains. But it is often there, beneath the surface. A mother may nag her son constantly about his grades or cleaning his room. The son may hear only the nagging, but if he listens carefully, he will hear the love underneath the nagging. His mother wants him to do well, to be successful. Her concern and love for her son unfortunately emerge in her nagging. But it is love all the sameA daughter comes home late, way past her curfew, and her father confronts her with angry words. The daughter may hear only the anger, but if she listens carefully, she will hear the love under the anger. "I was worried about you," the father is saying. 'Because I care about you and I love you. You are important to me. We say I love you in many ways - with birthday gifts, and little notes, with smiles and sometimes with tears. Sometimes we show our love by just keeping quiet and not saying a word, at other times by speaking out, even brusquely We show our love sometimes by impulsiveness. Many times we have to show our love by forgiving someone who has not listened to the love we have tried to express. The problem is listening for love is that we don't always understand the language of love which the other person is using. A girl may use tears or emotions to say what she wants to say, and her boyfriend may not understand her because he expects her to be talking his language. Thus, we have to force ourselves to really listen for love. The problem with our world is that people rarely listen to each other. They hear the words, but they don't listen to the actions that accompany the words or the expression on the face. Or people listen only for rejection or misunderstanding. They do not see the love that is there just beneath the surface, even if the words are angry. We have to listen for love in those around us. If we listen intently we will discover that we are a lot more loved than we realize.
Listen for love and we will find that the world is a very loving place after all:
LOVE is a happy thing.
LOVE is a happy thing.
It makes us laugh.
It makes us sing.
It makes us sad.
It makes us cry.
It makes us seek the reason why.
It makes us take.
It makes us give.
Above all else, it makes us LIVE.
It is not the presence or absence of people that makes the difference because a person need not be lonely even if he is alone. Sometimes it is good to be alone. But that does not make us lonely. It is not a matter of being present WITH someone. It is a matter of being present to someone.So remember...
If you love someone, tell them. Remember always to say what you mean. Never be afraid to express yourself. Take this opportunity to tell someone what they mean to you. Seize the day and have no regrets. Most importantly, stay close to your friends and family, for they have helped make you the person that you are today and are what it's all about anyway.

Body Language !!! Think.
Always be ready and aware! You never know when the perfect opportunity might be standing there in front of you.
That's WHY understanding body language can REALLY pump up your love life! One of the most basic instances involves our personal "space." We notice that when a stranger or someone gets too close, we feel uncomfortable. Unconsciously we know the distancing from others that is appropriate for our own culture. Every day we judge our own distance and respect the space of others by avoiding getting too close and follow our "feeling" to adjust to the correct distances from friends as opposed to acquaintances or strangers.
Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! According to experts, our non-verbal language communicates about 50% of what we really mean (voice tonality contributes 38%) while words themselves contribute a mere 7%.Our bodies send out messages constantly and often we don't recognize that we're communicating a lot more than we realize.
By familiarizing ourselves with a few basic nonverbal signals, A person's body posture, movements and positions more often tell us exactly what they mean (which may be the exact opposite of what they are saying). Many people are unaware of how loudly they communicate with their bodies.. We understand what a person indicates with their gestures and body positions and we send out our own messages - but we rarely stop to think about how we do it.
Often when a person is considered to have great intuition about other people, their understanding is actually due to careful observation of individuals, and conscious or unconscious understanding of non-verbal communication. These people can see interpret verbal and non-verbal language due to training or years of observation and analysis of people.
We need to recognize and give credibility to our own "intuition" and "feelings" about a person or situation.

WAITING
What are you waiting for? Well, you might be waiting for a lot of things. In fact, most of us spend our lives waiting. We wait for things to get batter. We wait for something exciting to happen. We wait for the kids to grow up. We wait for life to get batter.
And what happens while we are waiting? Life.
If life happens while we wait, we have very little control over our lives. If, on the other hand, we choose to stop waiting and create our ideal life, we have much more control over how our lives play out. It's OK to wait, but the results are much more arbitrary.
Either way, it's your choice.

It's Office Picnic Time.
Shangri-La Water Park,which is on the outskrits of Mumbai, to be presice it's 60Km from our office from were we started at about 9:30 am only to reach at 11:30 , a perfect place to end up in the scortching heat.
As far as I know, everybody likes getting wet, except people who are hydrophobic. There was no reason that anybody could have stopped himself/herself form getting into the pools and having fun in the water rides.
A entire day of complete independence, fun, frolic, rain dancing, swimming, enjoying the various water rides, getting our photos clicked or standing under the water fall, be it anything, we did it all…. We enjoyed it in the true spirit and all the credit goes to our office managment thanks to them for a wonderful day out.

Five rules to be happy.
1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.
What the heart gives away is never gone... It is kept in the hearts of others. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risks. Secure a special place in your heart. A certain place only you can enter. For there will come a time when you need to find yourself and only your heart will show you the way.
The measure of love is when you love without measure. In life there are very rare chances that you'll meet the person you love and loves you in return. So once you have it don't ever let go, the chance might never come your way again.
People are made to be loved and things are made to be used. That's why there's so much chaos in the world... people are being used and things are being loved.
You cannot finish a book without closing its chapters. If you want to go on, then you have to leave the past as you turn the pages of life.
Every commitment is a choice. Non-choosers and half-choosers are a puzzle to themselves and to others. They live in the immature condition of wanting to "play everything by ear."
Every once in a while ask yourself the question: If money weren't a consideration, what would I like to be doing?
It's better to lose your pride to the one you love, than to lose the one you love because of pride. We spend so much time looking for the right person to love or finding fault with those we already love, when instead we should be perfecting the love we give.
When you truly care for someone, you don't look for faults, you don't look for answers, you don't look for mistakes. Instead, you fight the mistakes, excuses.

Harmony
“The reason why the world lacks unity, and lies broken and in heaps, is, because man is disunited with himself”This year was a really auspicious year. On march 20 this year, there were four important religious festivals of four different religions. Holi (Hinduism) was celebrated with great splendor adding more colors to our lives, sacrifice of Jesus was mourned by all on the occasion of Good Friday (Christians) , the birth of the Prophet was celebrated on the occasion of Eid-e-Milad- un-Nabi (Islam) and the Parsi new year was also celebrated. All these four festivals were celebrated by all peoples throughout the world bringing all the religions and whole humanity closer. Let us all wish that all humans throughout the world irrespective of any religious or other boundaries would live united and peacefully throughout the world.
Let us all remain united with more tolerance and peace and make this world a better place to live in.

How to Face Life?
This one is a nice Poem which i came across in a mail .. hope you all like it.
Expressing oneself is hard and tough,
Especially when the road of life gets rough,
One has to face bitterness but never complain,
To spread the laughters and bury the pain.
Numerous things come to make you scare.
Even not a single helping hand left there,
“You want to mourn with shouts and cries”
You have to find strength and then try.
Your laughters have been snatched, to put you down,
But you have to smile by coming out of frown,
Never give chance to regret, that’s silly,
You have power to deal, problems seems hilly.
To unfold happiness in life you have to take a start,
Try to find peace and serenity in the depth of your heart,
Life is full of colours like a blooming flower,
You will find shiny and bright rays like a star.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
I wasn’t going to post about Valentines Day, but why hate?! So I am wishing you all a Happy Valentines Day!!!!!! Spread the love to all people. Even though we should show our love everyday, its nice to have a commercialized day to REALLY show someone you care, especially if during the whole year your too busy at work/school/etc etc. or you just don’t know how to show your appreciation. Take this day as an easy way out of doing anything else all year and make it special for that someone in your life .. if you have a someone in your life.9 Feb 2008
Drop In Tempreture
Mumbai Winter, which is raising quite a few eyebrows, It’s suddenly very cold in Mumbai and for once Mr Jackets, Ms Sweaters and Mrs Shawls have stepped out of every Mumbaikar’s cupboard and given them the much needed warmth. I hope this renewed association ( after 1962 !!! ) with Ms Sweaters and Mr Jackets remains and doesn’t become a “once in a blue moon” thing.
But my thoughts go for all the needy people out there, who don’t have or can't afford, enough woolens to keep themselves and their families warm in this weather. I think that's one reason, why Mumbai shields itself from the winter every year, but has let it’s guard down and let the cold wave drop in.
Anyhow…. I am loving this weather and selfishly wish, this kind of weather and temperature touches Mumbai every year, but also considering the poor people I sincerely hope the temperature stays put at 10 C or else life would be unbearable for them.
Without saying much, all I will express is - Mumbai experiencing sudden drop in temperature this winter is thanks to Global Warming. I won't be surprised if we start experiencing extreme temperatures in winter and summer over the years in Mumbai and around the world. Unless we - Save Mumbai. Save Earth.

Love and February
You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’
But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you..
I'm posting this simply to see different personal perspectives NOT religious observance.. .
* What is love? ( I'm NOT talking about romantic or Bollywood Love) I wish to give a short talk on love. As you all know, there is nothing on earth as important as love.
I consider love as a life, means love began since human born and since than it been crossed different rotations. Love is a gift of GOD and he distributes it into humans and especially into Mothers. Unfortunately, these days we are taking love into different prospective and the boy is considered alone without girl friend and vice versa. That kind of love is nothing less than waste of time, money, health, life, family values, energy and the list is too long.
Dating as it is currently practiced in much among our youths in the name of getting to know each others in a very deep way. What’s the bid deal with a hugging, little kiss or hand holding? There are lovers holding hands in the parks, sidewalks, this provision of Love leads to sex, and sex leads to babies or abortions and massive AIDS cases. If you think about this line of reasoning carefully, you will find some big problems.
As for money: Hah. Love leaves you bankrupt. There are the necessities of life: food, clothing, bills, perhaps even rent and gas. But love upsets one's financial priorities. Lovers have to spend money on such things as presents, flowers, presents, cologne or perfume, presents, perhaps even birth control and, oh yeah, presents. And I didn't even mention how money disappears when people go out on dates! What happens every February? Ugh. We are bombarded with hearts, Cupids, flowers and candies. (to suck your dry on overpriced) We feel the pressure of the marketing ploys of Valentine's Day.
We love other people, or we say we love other people, when we are attracted to them and when they make us feel good. we love someone because they fulfill a condition that we require before we can love them. How many times have you heard or said, "I love you because you are cute;" or "I love you because you take good care of me;" or "I love you because you are fun to be with"? We love based on feelings and emotions that can change from one moment to the next. The divorce rate is extremely high in today's society because husbands and wives supposedly stop loving one another-or they "fall out of love". They may go through a rough patch in their marriage, and they no longer "feel" love for their spouse, so they call it quits. Evidently, their marriage vow of "till death do us part" means they can part at the death of their love for their spouse rather than at their physical death.
Make it short let me say that Lovers are very un-creative people. They succumb to dullness and clinches. "I'll love you forever," a man would say to his woman and vice-versa. What does that mean, "forever?" No one loves forever. People break up. And even if they marry, they get divorced. And even if they stay married, they die. Nothing lasts forever.

New rules by ICC towards Aussies- The Cheaters
After watching the test match, I feel some rules have to be incorporated by ICC to give the other teams a perfect clarification(1) Ricky Ponting – (THE TRULY GENUINE CRICKETER OF THE CRICKET ERA AND WHOSE INTEGRITY SHOULD NOT BE DOUBTED ) should be considered as the FOURTH UMPIRE. As per the new rules, FOURTH UMPIRE decision is final and will over ride any decisions taken by any other umpires. ON-FIELD umpires can seek the assistance of RICKY PONTING even if he is not on the field. This rule is to be made, so that every team should understand the importance of the FOURTH UMPIRE.
(2) While AUSTRALIAN TEAM is bowling, If the ball flies anywhere close to the AUSTRALIAN FIELDER(WITHIN 5 metre distance), the batsman is to be considered OUT irrelevant of whether the catch was taken cleanly or grassed. Any decision for further clarification should be seeked from the FOURTH UMPIRE. This is made to ensure that the cricket is played with SPORTIVE SPIRIT by all the teams.
(3) While BATTING, AUSTRALIAN players will wait for the ON-FIELD UMPIRE decisions only (even if the catch goes to the FIFTH SLIP as the ball might not have touched the bat). Each AUSTRALIAN batsman has to be out FOUR TIMES (minimum) before he can return to the pavilion. In case of THE CRICKETER WITH INTEGRITY, this can be higher.
(4) UMPIRES should consider a huge bonus if an AUSTRALIAN player scores a century. Any wrong decisions can be ignored as they will be paid huge bonus and will receive the backing of the AUSTRALIAN team and board.
(5) All AUSTRALIAN players are eligible to keep commenting about all players on the field and the OPPONENT TEAM should never comment as they will be spoiling the spirit of the AUSTRALIAN team. Any comments made in any other language are to be considered as RACIALISM only.
(6) MATCH REFREE decisions will be taken purely on the AUSTRALIAN TEAM advices only. Player views from the other teams decisions will not be considered for hearing. MATCH REFREES are to be given huge bonus if this rule is implemented.
(7) NO VISITING TEAM should plan to win in AUSTRALIA. This is to ensure that the sportive spirit of CRICKET is maintained.
(8) THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE : If any bowler gets RICKY PONTING - “THE UNDISPUTED CRICKETER WITH INTEGTIRY IN THE GAME OF CRICKET” more than twice in a series, he will be banned for the REST OF THE SERIES. This is to ensure that the best batsman/Captain will be played to break records and create history in the game of CRICKET.
These rules will clarify better to the all the teams VISITING AUSTRALIA
