Tears

Tears of joy and tears of grief
Tears of sadness and relief
Tears for every high and low
Tears that let our feelings show
Private tears and tears we share
Tears that let us know we care
Tears shed with friends in sympathy
The tears we shed in symphony

Tears at weddings births and wakes
Whatever kind of tears it takes
Happy tears and tears of pain
And sometimes tears we can't explain
To ease our hearts God gave us tears
To ease our minds to ease our fears
Tears of loss and tears of hope
God gave us tears to help us cope

Beware the man who will not cry
For he his feelings would deny
The tears we cry show our devotion
So cry your tears to fill an ocean.

Google and Microsoft Face Off

While it's heating up outside across North America, it seems there's nothing hotter than the battle being waged between Google and Microsoft.

In recent weeks, months, and in some respects years, both companies have been forced to defend themselves for their impressive places within the search and software spheres. Now the two are at each other's throats, with Google alleging that Microsoft's Windows Vista is hurting competition and should be adjusted for antitrust purposes. (Source: washingtonpost.com )

So, what's got Google so hot under the collar?

Google is upset over the way Vista runs external desktop programs. The case is similar to the one that emerged in the 1990s between Microsoft and Netscape, once a browser titan (now reduced to the recycle bin by Internet Explorer).

Microsoft trounced Netscape's case in the '90s, and critics believe they'll defeat Google here, too. Software expert Rob Helm argues "Microsoft beat Netscape in part by leveraging its relationship with PC manufacturers...This is a lot subtler." (Source: pcworld.com )

Indeed, Vista doesn't prevent Google Desktop from running, the latter just doesn't run particularly well on the new operating system (OS). That's because most of the built-in search engines (Start Menu, Windows Explorer, etc) are proprietary, and installing secondary software slows down an already demanding OS.

Although Microsoft's policy on this one is expectedly sneaky, it's hardly criminal. Most experts, including Helm, believe Google will fail if it pursues the matter deep into U.S. courts.

In all likelihood, it's the pot calling the kettle black. "Even if Microsoft's software was perfectly written, the way Google interacts with it might be bad, and either company might be at fault," said Helm.

Thoughts to Live By

"There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer, no disease that enough love will not heal, no door that enough love will not bridge, no wall that enough love will not throw down, no sin that enough love will not redeem... It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble, how hopeless the outlook, how muddled the tangle, how great the mistake. A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all. If only you could love enough, you could be the happiest and most powerful being in the world... "

Remembering 7/11.......

Homage to the victims of Mumbai Train blast.

Remembering the restless souls of 7/11 Mumbai Serial Train Blasts. It took away 209 life's and left over 700 injured.


Who is responsible for that, what is the reason behind such an act, we are yet to find an answer to those activities. The show must go on, so every thing come to normal very next day and Mumbai has again started running as before, as if nothing has ever happened.

But to day being the first anniversary of 7/11 serial train bomb blasts, we can pay a homage to those restless souls, at least by remembering those events...


Seven blasts in 11 minutes in peak hour on suburban trains on the Western Line. Mahim, Bandra, Matunga, Borivili, Mira Road, Jogeshwari and Khar. Toll: 187 killed, over 750 injured. They came as a massive jolt to our sense of security and to the Indo-Pak peace process. Life came to a grinding halt, but, typically, people were back on their routine by next morning.


A Homage to the 7/11 blast victims, remembering those lives, A Tribute to those restless souls, may god rest their souls in peace, bring cheer

ISOLATION

One of the characteristics of human beings is that we are social creatures. We need love. We need to identify to people. We need companionship. We need interaction.

Some of is need more than others, some less, but we all need others.

But others are not always there for us. Sometimes we find ourselves in a new environment. Or we are shy or socially awkward. Or somehow we just get left behind.

First, make sure you are your own best friend. Sure, we need others, but we need ourselves and our own support and encouragement.

Second, understand that loneliness and isolation is only temporary.

Third, make plans to ensure that it IS only temporary. Find an activity you enjoy and join it Sometimes we feel isolated when people at work or school don't share the same interests, but it is easier to connect with people who chare a common interest, such as acting or cricket or football.

Of course, the best way to have a friend is to be a friend, and there is no better way to meet a new friend than by offering to help them. :-)

LEARNING

Did you know that what you think of last in the day and what you think of first thing in the morning are best remembered? That's why students studying for exams review their most important or most difficult notes just before bed and over breakfast.

What if every day before bed we taught ourselves to love? Or to control our anger? Or all about how valuable we are? Or whatever self-improvement message we really need to absorb?

What if first thing in the morning we focused on that same message again? What if we did this for a month or two? Can you imagine the impact that could have on our lives?

Sure, brushing your teeth is important, but there are other vital things to do with that time, too.

Power


The world is like a stormy sea, and you are the captain of a fine vessel - the vessel of your life. The waves rock your boat to and fro. Sometimes they rock so long and hard that you feel seasick.

The waves are caused by wind and other forces beyond your control, beyond even your understanding. But the boat is controlled by your steady hand. That's right, your steady hand. You can keep the boat stable and avoid seasickness. You just have to choose to exercise your power and keep the boat from rocking. Sure, the waves will still splash, but the boat needn't rock.

Or you could let the waves control you with their power. It's your choice whose power should succeed.
