Danger of contact lenses

VERY MUCH IMPORTANT FOR THOSE WHO
WEAR LENS

Please pass this to all your friends.

Those who wear
contact lenses, remove them when you have to attend a barbecue party or
whatsoever that got to do with flames... I heard a horrible true story about
contact lenses.... It happened to a 21 year old guy, he wore a pair of contact
lenses during a barbecue party. While, he was barbecuing, he stared at the fire
charcoals. After a few seconds, he started to scream for help and moved rapidly,
jumping up and down. No one in the party knew why... When he arrived at the
Hospital, the doctor said he'll be blind permanently courtesy of the contact
lenses that he had worn. Contact lenses are made by plastics, and the heat from
the charcoal melted his contact lenses.

So, tell all your friends..... DO
NOT WEAR CONTACT LENSES WHERE OVERHEATING AND FLAMES ARE CONCERNED.

Play Safe Holi

Holi Do's

Dental caps are a good idea to protect you teeth from staining.

Sunglasses go a long way in keeping your eyes safe from the harmful chemicals of the colors.

Wear old and ragged clothes that you can be at easilydiscard while playing Holi, as your clothes may never look wearable again with all those color stains.

Brightly collared and dark collared clothes are preferable for the mood of the day.

Wear full-sleeved t-shirt or shirts that cover your arms fully. Socks will be a good idea too.

Always put some amount of oil on your head and body. Apply thick coating of paint on your nails- both in fingers and toes so that they remain protected.

Granted that it is almost impossible to save you face from attack of colors, so while being attacked, keep eyes and lips tightly closed or one can apply good amount of oily body lotion or oil to the body so that it does not become dry after taking bath this procedure will help you to wash off colors easily later on.

If you are traveling, keep the car windows tightly shut. Better still; avoid traveling on Dhuledi, the day of playing colors.

Use a hat, cap or anything like that to protect your hair from being collared with hard-to Rinse dyes.

Put on your worst gears so that you won't have to take on the hassles of an immediate Washing.

Do not bump into the frenzied group of mob if you take to streets. Better you cross the Road to the sidewalk across. Or, simply stay at a safe distance.

While washing off the color, use lukewarm water and keep your eyes and lips tightly Closed.


Holi Don’ts”

Discourage your children to play Holi with eggs, mud or gutter water. Never turn a blind eye to such unclean ways of celebration.

Avoid use of abir as it has flakes of mica.

If you do not want your children and family to participate in the revelry, have a nice and quiet holiday at home. Your children should be confident enough to take the decision of not participating in the Holi celebrations. Teach them not to fall prey to pressure.

Teach your children to respect other’s independence during Holi. For instance, you should stop your children from forcing Holi celebrations on a hesitant neighbor.

If you fancy a glass of bhang (grass of the opium plant mashed and mixed with milk or sweets), go ahead. But let your family not get carried away. Your children should not get addicted to this intoxicating drink. Holi revelry should be contained within decent limits.

Avoid loud and rowdy Holi parties, which might spoil the family environment. Children get accustomed to such parties at a very early age and tend to repeat the same type of celebrations later in life.

Don’t walk alone on the streets on the Holi day. You’ll be a sure target for miscreants. . Play Holi only with a group of close friends and relatives as against strangers.

Use only powdered color and water.

Keep a big bucket of water handy for your children, so that they do not resort to gutter water and other unclean sources.

Roll your windows up while driving your car.

Be available at one venue throughout Holi, especially if you want to avoid rowdy Holi revelers.

Always take some moments off to know the cultural significance of Holi. It is a festival of color, a harbinger of the spring season, and not a dirty game.

Plz Appreciate "Her"

 

Hi,

 

Tomorrow you may marry a working woman, but you should marry with these

facts as well.

 

       Here is a girl, who is as much educated as you are;

 

            Who is earning almost as much as you do;

 

One, who has dreams and aspirations just as you have because she is as

 human as you are;

 

One, who has never entered the kitchen in her life just like you or your

 Sister haven't, as she was busy in studies and competing in a system that

gives no special concession to girls for their culinary achievements

 

One, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters, almost as

much as you do for 20-25 years of her life;

 

One, who has bravely agreed to leave behind all that, her home, people who

 love her, to adopt your home, your family, your ways and even your family

 ,name

 

One, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from day #1, while you

 sleep oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances, environment

and that kitchen

 

One, who is expected to make the tea, first thing in the morning and cook

 food at the end of the day, even if she is as tired as you are, maybe more,

 

and yet never ever expected to complain; to be a servant, a cook, a mother,

 a wife, even if she doesn't want to; and is learning just like you are as

to what you want from her; and is clumsy and sloppy at times and knows that

you won't like it if she is too demanding, or if she learns faster than you;

 

 

One, who has her own set of friends, and that includes boys and even men at

her workplace too, those, who she knows from school days and yet is willing

to put all that on the back-burners to avoid your irrational jealousy,

 unnecessary competition and your inherent insecurities;

 

Yes, she can drink and dance just as well as you can, but won't, simply

because you won't like it, even though you say otherwise

 

One, who can be late from work once in a while when deadlines, just like

yours, are to be met;

 

One, who is doing her level best and wants to make this most important

relationship in her entire life a grand success, if you just help her some

 and trust her;

 

One, who just wants one thing from you, as you are the only one she knows

 in your entire house - your unstinted support, your sensitivities and most

 importantly - your understanding, or love, if you may call it.

 

             But not many guys understand this......

 

   Please appreciate 'HER'

Unknown Facts About Bruce Lee

  • Bruce Was Born in America, was grown up in Hong Kong.
  • In America in 1964 He Dropped Out Of The University, to dedicate himself to martial arts.
  • He grievously injured his back during one of the practice sessions for The Green Hornet series in 1970. The doctors asked him to forget Kung Fu.
  • Bruce Lee was once challenged in the 1960s, for revealing the secrets of Chinese to others. He won the fight, but he was not happy: He took 3 minutes to win the fight when he could have completed in one minute. This less-than-perfect experience had made him modify the traditional martial arts to make them more deadly and powerful.
  • Dedication, determination and confidence that he can achieve what he wants are what that made him successful.

30 real feelings of girls



If you think they're true, pass it on.
If you don't? Pass it on anyway, maybe
someone else will think it is.

1. When a girl says she's sad, but she isn't
crying, it means she's crying in her heart.

2. When she ignores you after you've done
something wrong, it's best to give her some
time to cool down before touching her heart
with an apology.

3. A girl can't find anything to hate about the
guy she loves (which is why it is so hard for
her to 'get over him' after the relationship' s
over.)

4. If a girl loves a guy, he will always be on
her mind every minute of the day, even
though
she flirts with other guys.

5. When the guy she likes smiles and stares
deep into her eyes, she will melt.

6. A girl likes to hear compliments, but
usually
not sure how to react to them.

7. When a particular guy flirts with a girl very
often, a girl would start thinking the guy likes
her. So if you treat a girl just as a friend, go
easy on the smiles and stare ok?

8. If you don't like a girl who likes you, break
it to her gently.

9. If a girl starts avoiding you after you reject
her, leave her alone for a while. If you still
treat her as a friend, talk to her.

10. Girls enjoy talking about what they feel.
Music, poetry, drawings and writing are ways
of
expressing themselves (which explains why
most girls like writing journals).

11.. Never tell a girl that she is useless in
anyway.

12. Being too serious can turn a girl off.

13. When the guy she likes calls her for the
first time, the girl may act uninterested during
the call. But as soon as the phone is back on
the hook, she will whoop with joy and
immediately start telephoning her friends to
spread the news.

14. A smile means a lot to a girl.

15. If you like a girl, try making friends with
her
first. Let her get to know you.

16. If a girl says she can't go out with you
because she has to study, leave.

17. But if she still calls you or expect a call
from
you, stay..

18. Don't try to guess a girl's feelings. Ask
her.....

19. Hearing the words "I love you" is a great
reassurance to a girl that she is beautiful.

20. After a girl falls in love with a guy, she'll
wonder why she never noticed him before.

21. If you need tips on how to flirt with a girl,
read romance stories.

22. When class pictures come out, a girl
would
first check who is standing next to her crush
before actually looking at herself.

23. A girl's ex-crush will always be in her
memory, but the guy she loves now stays in
her heart.

24. Girls love having fun!

25..... A simple 'Hi' can brighten a girl's day.

26. A girl's best friends usually know best
what
she is feeling and going through.

27. Girls hate it when a guy pays attention to
them just to get close to their 'prettier' friend.

28. Love means devotion, caring and
happiness
to a girl, in that order.

29. Some girls care about looks, some care
about brains, but ALL girls want a guy who
will
love and care for them.

30. Girls want nothing more than to feel
loved.

Monkey Business

Does anyone know what an ear is for?
Does anyone show how to hear any more?
Does anyone know what these eyes are for?
Does anyone see that our ends in store?
Does anyone know what a tongue is for?
Does anyone speak whether we'll endure?

Hear no evil,
See no evil,
Speak no evil.

Deaf, dumb and blind (the 3 monkeys)
Aren't kind.

Does anyone know what an ear is for?
Does anyone show how to hear any more?
Does anyone know what these eyes are for?
Does anyone see that our ends in store?
Does anyone know what a tongue is for?
Does anyone speak whether we'll endure?

Hear the hopeful,
See the hopeful,
Speak... wonderful.

Be kind,
And, you'll find,
No monkeys on your back,
No enemies will attack,
Nothing... will you lack.

You Are Responsible!!!

One day all the employees reached the office and saw a big advice on the door on which was written:
 
Yesterday the person who has been hindering your growth in this company passed away. We invite you to join the funeral in the room that has been prepared in the gym.
 
In the beginning, they all got sad for the death of one of their colleagues, but after a while they started getting curious to know who was that man who hindered the growth of his colleagues and the company itself. The excitement in the gym was such that security agents were ordered to control the crowd within the room. The more people reached the coffin, the more the excitement heated up. Everyone thought: 'Who is this guy who was hindering my progress? Well, at least he died!'.
 
One by one the thrilled employees got closer to the coffin, and when they looked inside it they suddenly became speechless. They stood near the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul.
 
There was a mirror inside the coffin: everyone who looked inside it could see himself.
 
There was also a sign next to the mirror that said:

'There is only one person who is capable to set limits to your growth: it is YOU. You are the only person who can revolutionize your life. You are the only person who can influence your happiness, your realization and your success. You are the only person who can help yourself.
 
Your life does not change when your friends change, when your parents change, when your boss changes, when your company changes. Your life changes when YOU change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs, when you realize that you are the only one responsible for your life.
 
The most important relationship you can have is the one you have with yourself.'
 
Examine yourself, watch yourself.
 
Don't be afraid of difficulties, impossibilities and losses: be a winner, build yourself and your reality. It's the way you face Life that makes the difference.
