Laws by Nikhil...

Well from past few months, I really have very little or put it as no work to do. Why just me but the whole world is at a stand still. Its recession time friends. Empty mind is devils work shop. So instead sitting totally idle, I used my brains and discovered some interesting Laws which I thing Newton or some other geniuses has left it or forgot to give a thought to them.

LAW OF QUEUE:
If you change queues, the one you have left will start to move faster than the one you are in now.

LAW OF THE TELEPHONE:
When you dial a wrong number, you never get engaged one.

LAW OF MECHANICAL REPAIR:
After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch.

LAW OF THE WORKSHOP:
Any tool, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible corner.

LAW OF THE ALIBI:
If you tell the boss you were late for work because you had a flat tire, the next morning you will have a flat tire.

BATH THEOREM:
When the body is immersed in water, the telephone rings.

LAW OF ENCOUNTERS:
The probability of meeting some one you know increases when you are with someone you don't want to be seen with.

LAW of the RESULT:
When you try to prove to someone that a machine won't work, it will!

LAW OF COFFEE:
As soon as you sit down for a cup of hot coffee, your boss will ask you to do something which will last until the coffee is cold.

Chill friends this was just to bring some smile on your face.
Keep smiling and smile a lot as it costs nothing...

Stop complaining!!!

Room for one more on top? How to get a seat in rush hour

Room for one more at the back?

Only if you can push your way into the throng of 100 or so workers on a journey home from work which makes commuting on Britain's much-maligned transport network seem like luxury.

Shoehorned onto the back of a lorry, they are crossing the Sahara Desert in temperatures of up to 35c in the shade. The hellish trip can last two to three weeks.
This is the way an army of migrant workers from some of Africa's poorest states get home from oil-rich Libya.

The lorries follow ancient spice caravan routes over hundreds of miles to Niger and Mali, braving dust storms and giant potholes.

The workers, who do menial jobs shunned by Libyans, have some time with their families - then their desert commute starts all over again.

I wonder if this was the condition we were to work in!!!
We people have got a habit of complaining on every little thing. We are not just lucky but we are very lucky...

~ I was unhappy I had no shoes to wear until I met a man who had no feet ~

What I see!!!

I Can See ---
A place where people are free whether they are black, white or yellow, and no one says "Hey look at that strange fellow"!
A place where Mom and Dad stay home at night and children never see their parents fight.
A place where people care about each other and everyone is treated like a brother.
A place where everyone has enough to eat with enough left over for an occasional treat.
A place where the tiniest have the right to be born and the elderly don't feel rejected and forlorn.
A place where laughter can be heard and people still believe God's word.
A place where people still pray each day and try their best to go the right way.
I can see this place if only in my dreams.

Trendy fish tank...

I was browsing through net a couple of days back and I came across this wonderful fish aquarium. Series of thoughts dawned upon me as soon as I saw this picture. The most important point among them all on which I debated upon was should I call it a fish aquarium or a bulb that has blown off. I kept fighting over on the same point for about half an hour without any result and this was so very irritating that I was almost pissed with this topic. No doubt its a bulb that has gone off. And there is not a single point of doubt in it that it is a fish aquarium because it has in it two beautiful fishes and it is a transparent body with water in it. Ultimately I have to come to an conclusion stating it to be a nice creative art of the humans who with his wonderful wit converted a used bulb to an aquarium.
One must not forget the 4Rs.
Refuse
Reuse
Recycle
Reduce.

Neend - Amrinder Gill...



Day1:

Kite Ishq na ho jaawe dil darda rehnda ae
Par tenu milne nu dil marda rehnda ae
Kite Ishq na ho jaawe dil darda rehnda ae
Par tenu milne nu dil marda rehnda ae
Je dise na mukhda tera aukhi raat langauni ni
Tere darshan bade zaroori nahin tan fir neend na auni ni

Day2:

Talking:
Oye kudi karke ina change
Gal karanda dum hai
Oye dum tan hai, ae uncle kaun hai yaar
Oye uncle nu chhad udhar vekh

Jad samne aa jawe kujh keh vi sakda ni
Par tethon vakh hoke hun reh vi sakda ni
Jad samne aa jawe kujh keh vi sakda ni
Par tethon vakh hoke hun reh vi sakda ni
Duniya ton door lajake tenu gal samjhauni ni
Tere darshan bade zaroori nahin tan fir neend na auni ni
Tere darshan bade zaroori nahin tan fir neend na auni ni

Day10:

Unu labhdi hain, why don’t you talk to him
Pata nahin why should I talk to him
Ja ja tenu labhdi hai, ajj gal karli ja

Meri dil di dharti te sawan banke aaja
Janma ton pyasa haan Badli banke chhaja
Meri dil di dharti te sawan banke aaja
Janma ton pyasa haan Badli banke chhaja
Tere nain samundron dunge vich taari launi ni
Tere darshan bade zaroori nahin tan fir neend na auni ni
Tere darshan bade zaroori nahin tan fir neend na auni ni
Tere darshan bade zaroori nahin tan fir neend na auni ni
Tere darshan bade zaroori nahin tan fir neend na auni ni

Uncleji: hahahahaha

Nikhil means...

This was what I was thinking about few days back sitting in my office when I actually had nothing to do. What is the meaning of my name "NIKHIL"? Well this was a question to which I never gave a thought to. Then I came home and clicked on to Google search engine. Thanks to Google for quenching my thirst.

"Nikhil" is a Marathi, Sanskrit and Hindi word that means,
"COMPLETE MAN"
or
"UNIVERSAL".

Breaking the word down to Sanskrit roots shows:

NI (without)
KH (sky or boundary)
IL (agreed or liked)

The word also has connotations with the color blue, possibly because of the word "sky" being one of its roots. It is a commonly used name for males among Hindus.

Rudra Abhishek at my friend's place...

This religious puja was held in my friend Shradha's place in the year 2008 during the monsoon time. This huge idol of Lord Shiva was made out of 1101 lotus flowers. It just looked awesome and the beautiful fragrance of the flower made the place more holy and calm.
Easiest to please is Lord Shiva, the lord who resides in the mighty Himalayas. Of the trinity of gods, he is the destroyer of life, but is easily pleased with devotees who pray for his grace and observe a fast on Mondays. Mythology abounds in stories of those who prospered because of their devotion to Mahadev. Observe these simple rules, please the god and get your wish fulfilled.

Offerings: Monday is the day of Shiva. The god's favourite colour is white. He likes white flowers, white clothes and a white seat. Even his home is amidst the snow-covered gleaming white peaks of the Himalayas. When offering a puja to the god, do it with white flowers and white sweets for the naivedyam .

Ritual: Shiva's devotees should observe a strict fast on Mondays, eating only after sunset. Unlike other fasts, one cannot eat in the afternoon and skip the evening meal. A rudra abhishek (ritual bath amidst chanting of mantras ) should be offered to the Shivalinga in the home shrine. During the puja , a specific number of bilva leaves must be offered to the Shivalinga. In the evening, a naivedyam of rice and curds should be offered.

However, unlike usual practice, this naivedyam cannot be eaten as prasad . It should instead be taken to a Shiva temple and given to the priest or offered to a cow. Occasionally, a Brahmin or a married woman should be invited for meals. Devotees should chant the mantra Om Namah Shivay throughout the day.

Special Mondays: If it is not possible to observe a fast every Monday, one should at least observe a fast on the Mondays in the month of Shravan. These days are especially auspicious.

Sixteen Mondays: If you are seeking something specific from the God, it is advisable to observe a vrat (religious ritual) of 16 Mondays. Observed in honour of Lord Shiva, it can be started on any Monday of the bright fortnight of the months of Vaishakh, Shravan, Kartik or Magh. A fast is observed on next 16 Mondays and the udyapan of the vrat (conclusion) is performed on the 17th Monday.

Every Monday, a detailed puja is performed with 16 offerings. Although the devotee is allowed to eat food cooked without salt, crystal sugar or thick sweet roti (bread), many observe a strict fast. A naivedyam of crystal sugar or roti (thick sweet bread) is prepared for Lord Shiva. Before offering it to the god, the naivedyam is divided into three parts. One part is offered to the god, one part is distributed amongst friends and relatives and the third part is eaten by the devotee. On the 17th Monday, the devotee offers a mahapuja to Shiva at a Shiva temple. Flowers of golden champak, bilva, lotus, bakuli and punnag are essential for this puja .

Naivedyam: Sweet rotis are made of 5 kg of wheat flour, one and quarter kilogram of clarified butter and one and quarter kilogram of jaggery. These are roasted on fire fuelled by cow dung cakes. One third of the rotis are offered to the Shivalingam in the temple, one third are distributed as prasad and one third are distributed amongst relatives during meals.

Vrat for Jagannath: During the month of Chaitra, the Somvar vrat is observed for Lord Jagannath. A person who has been on a pilgrimage to Jagannath Puri or whose family member has undertaken this pilgrimage can observe it. Devotees observe a fast and, in the evening, Lord Jagannath is ritually worshipped. A naivedyam is offered and the prasad is eaten. The devotee can then break the fast.
