Its a personal address to all my dear readers at Indian friend Finder!!
I have been constantly churning out copy paste/ borrowed items and a very few of my own(without claiming any as mine)from my in-box/other sites and from God knows where for quite some time.And I have been enjoying your company in my journey of sharing funny..not so funny and and at times serious stuff which have been drawing good readership and even some nice comments!
But of late I observe that the readership has shown a very luke- warm response towards my posts. Of late some blogs ( which I dare say are real quality stuff)have failed to attract even a single comment! And in the same breath I observe that people here have shown unusually high level of interest for a new comer, charming little girl(sensensensation)for whatever she had to say , (mostly concerning her personal life) by flocking to her blogs like a flock of sheep and offering comments which pale all others to way too insignificance! And of late one of our veteran blogger re-appearing has almost lionised the entire viewership, whose exit was mired in serious controversy almost dividing the blog-space vertically in to two warring camps one jumping at the jugular of the other so warmongering we had all become!
Of course I do not have quarrel with her or with the many visitors to her blogs(I personally have seen some of her posts which are nice to say the least!)and of course not at all with the old warhorse re-appearing but wonder whether we are all showing some unhealthy behaviour which needs some introspection!
By the way I find that the cute little girl has disappeared after appearing in the blog horizon like a meteor and steadily rising to reach some where in the top ten without any body noticing and suddenly making her exit again without so much as saying a word!
So friends, it is time for me to say good bye to all of you and it is a really painful decision for me to leave the company of you all who have been my pillars of strength all through my stay here as a blogger!!
Sayonara!!

The son of a businessman comes to his father one day and says, "I want you to marry a girl of my choice, she is good looking , from a decent family and above all I love her"
Father : "But I have given words to Bill Gates to get his daughter as your bride!"
Son : "Well, in that case...ok.. I will marry the girl of your choice"
Next -
Father approaches Bill Gates.
Father : "I have a husband for your daughter."
Bill Gates : "But my daughter is too young to marry!"
Father : "But this young man is a vice-president of the World Bank."
Bill Gates : "well, in that case...ok"
Finally
Father goes to see the President of the World Bank.
Father: "I have a young man to be recommended as a vice-president. "
President : "But I already have more vice- presidents than I need!"
Father : "But this young man is Bill Gates's son-in-law."
President : "Ah, in that case....ok"
This is how business is done !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Moral:
Even If you have nothing, You can get Anything.....
But your attitude should be positive

LOVE IS !
"Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness." - Oliver Wendell Holmes
******
"Maybe love is like luck. You have to go all the way to find it." - Robert Mitchum
******
"Love has no awareness of merit or demerit; it has no scale... Love loves; this is its nature." - Howard Thurman
******
"Love is more than three words mumbled before bedtime. Love is sustained by action, a pattern of devotion in the things we do for each other every day." - Nicholas Sparks
******
"Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song, A medley of extemporanea; And love is a thing that can never go wrong; And I am Marie of Roumania." - Dorothy Parker
******
"To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy then is to suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down." - Woody Allen
******
"One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love." - Sophocles
******
"Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it...It really is worth fighting for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk everything, you risk even more." - Erica Jong
******
"Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired." -Robert Frost
******
"If you have it [Love], you don't need to have anything else, and if you don't have it, it doesn't matter much what else you have." -Sir James M. Barri
******
"True love comes quietly, without banners or flashing lights. If you hear bells, get your ears checked." -Erich Segal
******
"They do not love that do not show their love. The course of true love never did run smooth. Love is a familiar. Love is a devil. There is no evil angel but Love." -William Shakespeare
******
"Like the measles, love is most dangerous when it comes late in life." -Lord Byron
******
"At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet." -Plato

Three business men are out for a Friday afternoon of golf. As they begin to tee off at the first hole, the starter comes out and asks if they would mind having a fourth join them. They agree and are surprised to see a very healthy and attractive college girl walking out of the clubhouse.
The three men are all good golfers and, so, are ready to impart their wisdom to the young lady, but they are shocked when she steps to the men's tee instead of the lady's and proceeds to drive 250 yards straight down the fairway.
She smiles and offers up the tee to the next player. The day goes by and all are having a good time and great rounds of golf when they come to the 18th green. The girl is about 20 feet away and is looking at her putt.
She says to the men, "You know, I have had a lot of fun today, and having played with you has made my game so much better. In fact, if I sink this putt it will be the first time I have ever broken par. If one of you gentleman can tell me how, I will spend the rest of the weekend with you showing how grateful I am."
The three men look at each other and one says, "I had this putt on Wednesday, it breaks about two feet to the right and is very quick." He smiles at the other two men.
The second mans says, Actually, I had this same putt yesterday, and if you send it too slow it will break two and a half feet from this point to that one." He smiles at the first man and nods to the third.
The third man looks at both of them and then at the girl. He walks over to the ball, picks it up, tosses it to the girl, smiles and says, "It's a gimme."

21 Advices for Life..
ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.
THREE. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.
FOUR. When you say, 'I love you,' mean it.
FIVE. When you say, 'I'm sorry,' look the person in the eye.
SIX. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.
SEVEN. Believe in love at first sight.
EIGHT. Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have dreams don't have much.
NINE. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely.
TEN.. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.
ELEVEN. Don't judge people by their relatives.
TWELVE. Talk slowly but think quickly.
THIRTEEN! . When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, 'Why do you want to know?'
FOURTEEN. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
FIFTEEN. Say 'bless you' when you hear someone sneeze.
SIXTEEN. When you lose, don't lose the lesson.
SEVENTEEN. Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others; and Responsibility for all your actions.
EIGHTEEN. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
NINETEEN. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
TWENTY. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.
TWENTY- ONE. Spend some time alone.
A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.

Beyond the Genie's Prowess!!...(You should love this)

Bill Clinton was walking along the beach when he stumbled upon a Genie's lamp. He picked it up and rubbed it and lo-and-behold, a Genie appeared. Bill was amazed and asked if he got three wishes.
The Genie said, "Nope...Due to inflation, constant downswing, low wages in third world countries, and fierce global competition, I can only grant you one wish. So...What'll it be?"
Bill didn't hesitate. He said, "I want to be remembered for bringing peace to the Middle East, instead of that other stuff with Monica, and Jennifer, and the rest of those women. See this map? I want these countries to stop fighting with each other."
The Genie looked at the map of the Middle East and exclaimed, "Jeez, Fella! These people have been at war for thousands of years. I'm good, but not THAT good. I don't think it can be done. Make another wish."
Bill thought for a minute and said, "You know, people really don't like my wife. Even though she got elected, they call her a carpetbagger. They think she's mean, ugly, and pushes me around. I wish for her to be the most beautiful woman in the world and I want everybody to like her. That's what I want."
The Genie let out a long sigh and said, "Lemme see that map again." aa

Being a Banker I have observed closely how a man behaves while drawing cash from ATM. Only recently while reviewing the CCTV footage I could see how women behave so very differently at an ATM center. It may be interesting to observe the differences..
Here are they..
MAN:
1) Pull up to machine
2) Wind window down
3) Insert ATM card, enter PIN
4) Retrieve cash
5) Drive away
WOMAN:
1) Pull up to machine
2) Open door (too far away from machine)
3) Search through all of the 112 compartments in handbag for ATM card
4) Do make up, apply lipstick, fix hair
5) Insert Card
6) Remove card
7) Insert card the correct way up
. Search for piece of paper with PIN on it
9) Enter PIN
10) Enter correct PIN
11) Retrieve cash, put in bag
12) Drive off
13) Reverse back to machine
14) Retrieve card
15) Drive three miles away
16) Release hand-brake

It sure is a copy paste stuff .. but I find it equally applies to all our male members here in IFF who never ever show any interest in extending a helping hand in solving a household problem... If you go on avoiding those little chores your wife wants you to undertake see for yourself how it gets solved automatically and to your utter detriment..!!
A HUSBAND IS AT HOME WATCHING A
FOOTBALL GAME WHEN HIS WIFE INTERRUPTS,
'HONEY,
COULD YOU FIX THE LIGHT IN THE HALLWAY?
IT'S BEEN FLICKERING FOR WEEKS NOW'.
HE LOOKS AT HER AND SAYS ANGRILY,
'FIX THE LIGHTS NOW ?
DOES IT LOOK LIKE I HAVE
GE WRITTEN ON MY FOREHEAD ?
I DON'T THINK SO'.
FINE,
THEN THE WIFE ASKS,
'WELL THEN, COULD YOU FIX THE FRIDGE DOOR ?
IT WON'T CLOSE RIGHT '
TO WHICH HE REPLIED,
'FIX THE FRIDGE DOOR ?
DOES IT LOOK LIKE I HAVE WESTINGHOUSE
WRITTEN ON MY FOREHEAD ?
I DON'T THINK SO'.
'FINE', SHE SAYS
'THEN YOU COULD AT LEAST FIX THE STEPS
TO THE FRONT DOOR ?
THEY ARE ABOUT TO BREAK '
'I'M NOT A CARPENTER AND I DON'T
WANT TO FIX STEPS'.
HE SAYS, 'DOES IT LOOK LIKE I HAVE
ACE HARDWARE WRITTEN ON MY FOREHEAD ?
I DON'T THINK SO
I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU.
I'M GOING TO THE BAR !!!! '
SO HE GOES TO THE BAR AND DRINKS FOR A
COUPLE OF HOURS....................................
HE STARTS TO FEEL GUILTY ABOUT HOW
HE TREATED HIS WIFE, AND DECIDES
TO GO HOME
AS HE WALKS INTO THE HOUSE, HE NOTICES
THAT THE STEPS ARE ALREADY FIXED..
AS HE ENTERS THE HOUSE, HE SEES THE
HALL LIGHT IS WORKING.
AS HE GOES TO GET A BEER, HE NOTICES
THE FRIDGE DOOR IS FIXED.
'HONEY', HE ASKS, 'HOW'D ALL THIS GET FIXED ?'
SHE SAID, 'WELL, WHEN YOU LEFT I SAT
OUTSIDE AND CRIED.
JUST THEN A NICE YOUNG MAN ASKED ME
WHAT WAS WRONG, AND I TOLD HIM.
HE OFFERED TO DO ALL THE REPAIRS, AND
ALL I HAD TO DO WAS EITHER
GO TO BED WITH HIM OR BAKE A CAKE'.
HE SAID,
'SO WHAT KIND OF CAKE DID YOU BAKE ?'
SHE REPLIED,
'HELLOOOOO..
DO YOU SEE BETTY CROCKER WRITTEN
ON MY FOREHEAD ?
I DON'T THINK SO !'
