Zindagi me kabhie lage ki zinda rehne ka ab koi maksad hi nahi,

behaal tanghaal sansoon ko khinch pana ab aur mumkin bhi nahi,

duniya ke saare gam mano tumhare kamre me hi tim tima rahe ho,

aur bakshe me padi neend ki goliyaan hi bus aakhiri sahara ho,

to jaate jaate,

is bhale manas ki ek baat zarur maanna,

un goliyoon se pehle,

kuch der ke liye hi sahi,

kisi sarkari asptaal ke bahar ja bhaithna.

Wahan jahan zindagi ko maut ne ghera hai,

par phir bhi,

har chaukhat par umeedon ka dera hai.

Kuch sunna,

kuch dekhna,

aur ho sake to kuch samjhna.

Kuch aise milenge,

jinhe pata hai apne aakhiri sansoon ka hisaab,

kuch waise,

jinhe bus himmat ka sahara hai,

aur kuch we bhi,

jinke tan par kuch bhi nahi par mann harta hi nahi.

Har ek ki kahani me kuch ek se hai rang,

har kahani me kuch panne hai berang.

Wey bhooke nange thake hare

bus un panno ko taakte rehte hai,

dawa daru na sahi,

par wo kahaanikaar kahin to hai,

kuch aur panno me wo rang zaroor funk dega,

"the end" ko kuch aur panno ke picche dhakel dega.

Aur ek tum ho,

jo apni kahaani se hi dar rahe ho,

us kahaanikaar ke bina hi "the end" kah rahe ho.

Maanaa kuch panno pe khusiyoon ka mausam zarur manda hai,

par umeedon ki choti-badi potli ke sahare hi to hum sab zinda hai.

Dil ab bhi samajh na paya ho to,

goliyaan bakshe me hi kar rahi hai tumhara intezaar,

par un goliyoon se pehle,

kisi sarkari asptaal ke chaukhat par bhaith aanaa bus ek baar.

God Meets Man in a Chatroom on Internet.

God: Hello. Did you call me?
Man: Called you? No.. who is this?

God: This is GOD. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will chat with you.

Man: I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I am actually busy now. I am in the midst of something..

God: What are you busy at? Ants are busy too.

Man: Don't know. But I cant find free time. Life has become hectic. It's rush

hour all the time.

God: Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results. Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.

Man: I understand. But I still can't figure it out. By the way, I was not expecting YOU to buzz me on instant messaging chat.

God: Well I wanted to resolve your fight for time, by giving you some clarity. In this net era, I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable with.

Man: Tell me, why has life become so complicated now?

God: Analysis is what makes it all complicated. Stop analyzing life. When you analyze, you surmise. But when you believe, you achieve.

Man: why are we then constantly unhappy?

God: Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. You are worrying because you are

analyzing. Worrying has become your habit. That's why you are not happy.

Man: But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty?

God: For humans, uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional.

Man: But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty..

God: Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.

Man: If suffering is optional, why do good people suffer?

God: Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don't suffer. With that experience, their life becomes better not bitter. Also good people see opportunity in every adversity, the opportunity which makes them turn to Me, the God.

Man: You mean to say such experience is useful?

God: Yes.

In every terms, Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.

Man: But still, why should we go through such tests? Why can't we be free from problems?

God: Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons to Enhance Mental Strength. Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance, not when you are free from problems.

Man: Frankly in the midst of so many problems, we don't know where we are heading…

God: If you look outside, you will not know where you are heading. Look inside, instead. Looking outside, you dream. Looking inside, you awaken. Eyes provide sight. Heart provides insight.

Man: Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right

direction. What should I do?

God: Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you. Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing you rode ahead. You work with the compass. Let others work with the clock.

Man: In tough times, how to stay motivated?

God: Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go. Always count your blessing, not what you are missing.

Man: What surprises you about people?

God: when they suffer they ask, "why me?" When they prosper, they never ask "Why me". Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, but few want to be on the side of the truth.

Man: Sometimes I ask, what life is, why am I here. I can't get the answer.

God: Before anything is created, the purpose is clearly defined in the mind of the Creator, i.e. Me. If you use your tiny, immature brain to philosophize and speculate what life is etc., it is only going to frustrate you more and more. Instead, use such questions to help you achieve the goal of self-realization.

Man: How can I get the best out of life?

God: Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.

Man: One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered.

God: There are no unanswered prayers. At times, the answer is NO.

Man: Thank you

for this wonderful chat. I am so happy to start the New Day with a new sense of inspiration.

God: Well. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Don't believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs. Life is not misery but discovery, discovery of true love, real happiness and perfect peace. Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live.

Asha for Education Movie 2006

Today I created a small 20 sec commercial for our Notes of Hope Advertisment at NYC. Since everybody liked it I was planning to upload it on the google video and while searching I found this video. A well made video. This movie is made for Asha Toledo's annual fundraising event RAGALAHARI in the year 2006. It showcase the essence of education in one's life, about Asha, about Asha Toledo and its projects. The theme has been conceptualized and edited by "Srikanth Pilla". Thanks Srikanth. I have decided I will try to make a similar one for our chapter too so that we can use it at various functions.

IF

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!


--Rudyard Kipling

3. Many US banks have arrangements with their foreign competitors to allow the US bank's accountholders to make ATM withdrawals at the US bank's rates. Check with your US bank to see if they have such a contract.

For instance, Bank of America has a no-fee ATM agreement with the following banks: Barclays (United Kingdom), BNP Paribas (France), Deutsche Bank (Germany), Santander Serfin (Mexico), Scotiabank (Canada), Westpac (Australia and New Zealand). Withdrawing money with a Bank of America debit card from one of these banks’ ATMs is fee-free

4. if you're planning on withdrawing from an ATM out of the US, make sure your PIN number is 4 digits, no more, no less. Many countries only allow 4-digit PIN's, and if yours is longer, it may not accept it.

5. Consolidate all your ATM Withdrawals.

A Weekend on Move. - From Fund Raising Race to Long Drive to Pool to Hiking to Lawn Tennis! I did ALL :)

The last weekend began with me getting up @ 6:00 a.m!! I don't remember when I last got up that early and especially that also on a saturday morning. I had to catch the train at 6:30 from Metropark so got ready fast and ran towards the station with my iPod, camera and an extra t-shirt.
My Destination - Riverside Park on 83rd St in uptown NYC.
Occasion - "ASHA for Education" NYC-NJ Chapter was organising its 3rd Annual 5Km Race/Walk Event.
Why I was there - To Volunteer and be part of the race.

Registration began exactly @ 8:00 a.m. I met Monel, Aniruddha and Nitin - the co-ordinators for the race. They introduced me to other members - Shikhar, Neil, Sonal, Marcos, Prutha, Sai, Jaina, Lok and Pradeep. I was bit nervous but kept a sole aim of completing the race... thought of taking one step at a time. as it has been more than 10 years since I ran even a kilometer! Moreover, it was a last minute decision to take part in the race and hence there was no so called race preparation. I knew i wud have done good if i can complete the race. With that aim set in mind i started the race at 9:00 a.m. First half of the race was bit tough. Just after 5 minutes I started to feel cramps in my legs. Somehow I pushed myself and started to run at reduced pace. The trick worked as my body got sometime to regroup its energy. I was pushing myself with that renewed energy. Finally, when one of the volunteer told that its half way and now we need to race back to starting point. I knew I can do it without stopping. :) . The simple thought - "Finish Line is not Far Away" does wonders to energy level. It pumps more adrenaline to complete the race.

I realised one more thing - LIFE BECOMES LITTLE SIMPLE IF WE HAVE A GOAL TO ACHIEVE. Hey you, SET SOME GOAL IN YOUR LIFE. DO THINGS FOR THAT GOAL. you will be the happiest person when you reach your goal. Belive Me.

Finally I completed the race in 00:30:42 minutes and at position 34 which was among the top 15%. Whatever might be the sample, being in Top 20% is always good considering the fact that it was an adhoc decision to run. Best timing among men was 00:19:50 and among women was 00:25:16. The girl who came first told that she runs 6 miles daily. So my performance was not that bad. I am a Happy person.

From 10:00 am to 12:00 noon I was with the ASHA Volunteers... helping them to wind up the race. At 1:00 I thanked everybody and left for Edison, NJ. Reached home around 3:00 and immediately left for Fairfax, VA in my Car. It was a long drive but with Himesh Reshamiyan belting out all fast paced tracks we reached Fiarfax in no time and that too with only one break at NJTP.

It was 7:30 when we reached. Puneet and eveybody were leaving for dinner so Abhi and I joined them. After dinner we went to play Pool. Roy and I started of on one of the table. I wasn't playing good and among 7 games i played, I lost all but one. But had a good time and finally we returned at Pankesh's palce around 3:00 am in early morning.

Next Morning, I got up at 6:00 and immediately wake Shah and Ajax. Last night only I had decided that I will leave for Great Falls State Park asap. At park, we did hiking and followed a simple trail of nearly 3 miles. As planned, we returned back to home around noon after grabbing a "Garden Fresh" Pizza @ Papa Johns. It was good.

Back at Pankeh's place guys were still on the bed... feeling more cosy and not in mood to go out anywhere... so Ajay and I decided to play Tennis. Later Pankesh also joined us. Three of us played tennis for nearly 3 hours with Pankesh and Ajax rotating after every set.

It was 5:00 by the time we started our return journey to NJ. Thankfully, there was no stalled traffic during our retreat. this meant we completed our return journey in exactly 4.5 hours. i was at home by 9:30 pm and one more weekend was over.

But yeah, this was a weekend which I will remember for some time. this weekend will drive me to more in coming weekends!!

Pics are coming in next entry :)

CFA Vs MBA

Following is an article published in 2004. It still gives a very simple but important perspective to assist you in your decision.

Best of Luck.


--------------------------------------------------------
CFA Vs. MBA, which is best for you?
- by Chad Sandstedt, CFA - December 13, 2004

It's a question asked by nearly every aspiring finance professional at one time or another -- is my time (and money) best spent pursuing the Chartered Financial Analyst designation or a Masters in Business Administration? There's no question that both are valuable credentials, each are capable of delivering higher salaries and better advancement prospects. However, the answer to this question depends on many factors, including your professional goals, background and resources, both in terms of time and money.

What do you want to be when you grow up?
One obvious difference between the CFA program and an MBA program is the breadth of the curriculum. A good analogy is that the curriculum of the CFA program is a foot wide and a mile deep while the curriculum of MBA programs are a mile wide and a foot deep.

If you plan on working in finance, the CFA program will provide a wealth of knowledge. However, if your career path veers out of finance, the chances that you'll be able to utilize the curriculum are limited. In contrast, an MBA program is likely to provide exposure across numerous fields of study that can be applied in almost any position, whether in finance or not. As such, potential CFA candidates are advised to step back and assess their commitment to a career in finance.

For those who are working in another field and view the CFA program as a way to break into a finance career, it may be more appropriate to first obtain a position in the field, even if it's at an entry level, to assess your commitment to a finance career before beginning the CFA program.

What's the Price of Admission?
One of the most popular motivations for enrolling in the CFA program or an MBA program is to create new career opportunities. Today, many finance jobs require either a CFA designation or an MBA. What's the cost to become qualified for these positions? While there are no exact numbers for either the CFA program or an MBA program, we can make a few assumptions that will apply to many aspiring professionals.

First, let's look at the cost of the CFA program. Our first assumption is that it takes, on average, four exams to complete all three levels of the CFA program. Enrollment and registration fees for four exams will cost $1,815 with early registration. The cost of preparation materials can vary widely between CFA candidates. At the low end of the price range is the purchase of study notes and textbooks. Realistically, many candidates require additional preparation such as study seminars, software, online programs, audio programs, video programs or flashcards. The cost of such a comprehensive study plan could be an additional $2,000 per year. Given our relatively aggressive assumption that all three exams will be successfully completed in four attempts, we will assume a fairly aggressive study plan with $1,000 of study material per year, for a total of $4,000 over four years. Therefore, the total cost of obtaining the CFA designation, including registration fees and test preparation materials, would be $5,815.

The cost of an MBA can range dramatically, from a part-time program at a state university to a full-time program at an Ivy League school, the costs may range from $20,000 on the low end to over $100,000 on the high end.

In summary, the cost of obtaining an MBA will range from four to twenty times the cost of the CFA program.

What's Your Time Horizon?
In the previous section we listed an assumption that it will take the average CFA candidate four exams to complete all three levels of the CFA program. Up until December 2003, all three levels of the CFA exam were administered just once per year. In December 2003, the Level I CFA exam was available to be taken twice per year. If a CFA candidate takes the Level I exam in December, the Level II exam the following June, and the Level III exam one year later, it would take approximately two years if you assume that studying for the Level I exam begins in June. While this is certainly an achievable task and there are people who accomplish this, it's becoming very difficult to do with lower pass rates and more demanding careers that allow less study time to prepare for each exam. Since we assume it will take four attempts to pass all three levels of the CFA program, we will assume these four exams will be completed in three years.

In contrast, most full-time MBA programs can be completed in two years. This is perhaps the biggest advantage of pursuing an MBA compared to the CFA designation, because it's likely to qualify you for a better paying job about a year earlier than the CFA program will. If you're able to increase your compensation by $30,000 with an MBA, you will be making $30,000 more than you will be making in the CFA program for an entire year.

I've developed a spreadsheet that computes the net present value of both the CFA program and an MBA program. For illustration, here's a hypothetical scenario with the following assumptions:

Current Salary: $60,000
Cost of Capital: 5%
Time to Complete CFA Program: 3 Years
Annual Cost of CFA Program: $1,938
Projected Salary Post-CFA Program: $100,000
Time to Complete MBA Program: 2 Years
Annual Cost of MBA Program: $35,000
Projected Salary Post-MBA Program: $100,000

Based on these assumptions, the Net Present Value ("NPV") of the CFA program is $204,394 while the NPV of the MBA program is $177,884. This means that, based on these assumptions, the CFA program is a better investment than an MBA program. However, a change in assumptions can change the answer. If you expect an MBA to deliver a higher salary than you expect after attaining your CFA charter, the answer may be very different. We've made this spreadsheet available so that you can use your own assumptions and see what alternative has the most value for you.

Self- Study vs. The Classroom?
Perhaps the biggest difference between the CFA program and an MBA is the learning format. The CFA exam is essentially a self-study program that allows candidates to move at their own pace and study as their schedule permits. There are no classes to attend unless you choose to sign up for a review course (for a list of review courses, visit our test prep directory). There are no pop quizzes or progress exams, rather there is the equivalent of one big "final exam" for each level where you must be ready to apply everything you've studied.

The CFA Institute does provide a recommended study timeline that can be used to gauge your progress as you approach the exam date. However, it's up to you to keep up and there will be nobody holding you to the schedule, so self-discipline is important particularly given the quantity of material covered at each level. A great number of very smart people have failed the CFA exam simply because they procrastinated and were unable to catch up.

In contrast, a traditional MBA program has a great deal of structure since it's classroom based. Each class typically consists of several quizzes and exams so it's easy to tell when you fall behind. The learning format in an MBA program is also more likely to be lecture-based, whereas the learning format for the CFA program is text-based.

So, What's Best for Me?
For those individuals who are committed to a career in finance, the CFA program offers a unique opportunity to learn while you work. Very few professions have access to comparable opportunities to earn a renowned designation through self-study at a relatively low cost. However, if you're relatively uncertain about a career in finance, an MBA may be a better choice since it applies to other fields.

In summary, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to continuing your education. Each individual brings a unique background with a unique set of goals. As such, it's important to assess your own situation to determine which opportunity is right for you before you make a significant investment of time and money.

My India on Internet. :)

India is a country of a hundred nations...

India is the land of dreams and romance... the one land all desire to see." Mark Twain wrote after his world tour, echoing the sentiments of many travellers before and after his time.

India A land of fascinating festivals, timeless traditions and majestic moments. India is unique, and so is the music - filled with change, grandeur and many surprises. Truly, it is a gateway into the world of Mystic India!

Perhaps the greatest truth India can illuminate for the billions who live on this planet is the cherished belief that there can be unity in diversity, that we share the same sky, walk the same earth, breathe the same air... that we are a single human family.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

What Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

At the base of the palm is a tight canal or “tunnel” through which tendons and nerves must pass on their way from the forearm to the hand and fingers. The nerve that passes through this narrow tunnel to reach the hand is called the Median Nerve. This narrow passage between the forearm and hand is what we call “The Carpal Tunnel”.

The Carpal Tunnel is normally quite snug and there is just barely enough room in it for the tendons and nerves that have to pass through it. If anything takes up extra room in the canal, things become too tight and the nerve in the canal becomes constricted or “pinched”. This pinching of the nerve causes numbness and tingling in the area of the hand that the nerve travels to. The condition that results when the Median Nerve is being pinched in The Carpal Tunnel is commonly referred to as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or “CTS”.

Symptoms
- Painful tingling or numbness in hand during the night, that is sometimes painful enough to disturb sleep.
- The feeling of swollen fingers when they are not.
- Tingling may develop during the day in the thumb, index, and ring fingers.
- Decreased ability to squeeze things.
- Some people with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome are unable to differentiate hot from cold by touch with their fingers.
- Have trouble tying their shoes or picking up small objects.
- Sometimes you feel a pain that goes up the arm to as high as the shoulder.
- Your doctor may also ask you to wear a splint on your wrist.


A common test for CTS is Phalen's Maneuver.
Put the backs of your hands together while keeping your arms parallel to the floor and your fingers pointing down. Hold your hands together firmly. If within a minute, you experience one, or a combination, of the symptoms, you probably have the disorder. Don't hold this position for more than the required minute.



Treatment
- Prop up your arm with pillows when you lie down.
- Avoid using your hand too much.
- Find a new way to use your hand by using a different tool.
- Try to use the other hand more often.
- Avoid bending your wrists down for long periods.
- Surgery is a last resort.

Prevention

- Maintain an average weight.
- Try not to bend, extend or twist your hands continually for long periods.
- Don't work with your arms too close or too far from your body.
- Don't rest your wrists on hard surfaces for long periods.
- Switch hands during work tasks.
- Make sure your tools aren't too big for your hands.
- Take regular breaks from repeated hand movements to give your hands and wrists time to rest.
- Don't sit or stand in the same position all day.
- If you use a keyboard a lot, adjust the height of your chair so that your forearms are level with your keyboard and you don't have to flex your wrists to type.

India Voting Rules - 49'O

Recd this info thru mail. tried searching on net but not much findings in first few pages.... anyway, i decided to put the info on my blog... i wish this info is true and (if needed) people use it more and more....

************************************
People…
Please take some time to read this entire mail. You will definitely feel its worth.

Hope some of you have already got this mail and got to know about the 49’O..
It says :

“In a particular constituency, if a voter has dislike to all of the candidates competing there,
Then he can show his dislike to all of them by registering for 49’O.
Steps for doing this :
1. while registering the name by the time of voting, convey the booth officials that “I want to go for 49’O”.
2. Register your signature in the 49’O form available there.

Done.
Now, if the number of 49’O count is larger than that of the winning candidates total vote count, then a re-election is called there.

More than all, the shameful fact is,
This 49’O is available ever since 1960, but it is in no way conveyed to the people.
Neither the government communicate this, nor did the election commission.

As long as the people are unaware of this one, the political parties are enjoying by winning the election and ditching our country.
