Hi friends, I came to know about this interview through a commentator in an India vs Australia match.
An interviewer asked Sir Don Bradman about what his average would have been if he had batted in this current era.
Sir Don said," might be in the mid fifties."
The interviewer asked whether he thought that it would be too difficult to bat in this era.
Sir Don said," No, not at all, now I am a little aged and not so fit as I was then. So, I wouldn't have been able to have averaged close to 100 now."
The interviewer was shocked.
Wow what a man...He is ofcourse a super human being.

Cheapest internet connection
Hi friends, this is one of the cheapest way to connect internet to your mobile or PC.All you need to have is an airtel sim card. There is a cheap sim available with 1 yr validity...I think it costs around Rs.60.
- Make sure that your mobile balance is not less than Rs.1.The balance need not be more than 1 or 2 rupee.
- sms GPRS7 to 56789.
- After a while, you might receive a service msg stating that your balance is -30 rs.
- Then recharge(top-up) so that you acquire a positive balance.
- sms MO to 2567.
- switch off your mobile and then switch it on.
- now u have activated the weekly pack which originally costs 75rs.
- connect to your PC using data cable or bluetooth.
- Nokia N-series -> 460.8 kbps
- sony ericsson -> 115.2 kpbs
- samsung -> 430.8 kbps

Symptoms of heart attack
If you are alone and if you have symptoms of chest pain that radiates to your arm and up to your jaw, it is a "heart attack". If there is no one to help and even the hospital is too far, you can't wait, you have to help yourself.Cough repeatedly and vigorously.Take a deep breath before every cough.Deep breaths will get oxygen to lungs, coughing keeps blood circulation alive....
Another tip:
After eating your food take some tea or hot water like the Chinese, It avoids heart attack.

Do u hate life?
Someone said to God, " I hate life."
God replied, " Who asked you to love life? just love a person who loves you and life will be beautiful on it's own.!"
Quite true isn't it?

Firings-Patni
In July, Mumbai-based Patni Computer Systems too gave pink slips to 400 employees on grounds of non-performance. Terming it as a routine exercise and not a slowdown setback, country’s sixth-largest exporter said that it is an effort to weed out non-performers. Rajesh Padmanabhan, vice-president and head, global HR, Patni, said, “This is an absolutely regular appraisal that is important for any performance-driven organisation. It is something standard we do every year.
Employees who have got 0-1 rating on a scale of 5 typically form the basis for the first-level shortlist. These are performance-based resignations; we’ve not issued any termination letters.” However, industry sources reveal that the laid off employees included several project managers as well.
Incidentally, while in case of TCS, the retrenched number was about 0.5 per cent of the workforce, for Patni, it made for closer to 3 per cent of the 14,800-strong workforce. Narendra K Patni, Chairman and CEO, Patni Computer Systems said, “The overall market environment remains challenging with prevailing global uncertainties. We are cautious in our short-term outlook but remain positive on long-term prospects and are continuing our investments in identified areas”.

Firing-Wipro
The bad news has come from India’s third largest IT outsourcer, Wipro Technologies too. The company has already laid off 1,000 employees, and another 2,000 employees have been put on scanner. The company is reviewing the performance of 60,000 global IT services employees from the senior leadership team down to the person with one-year experience.
Terming it as a regular exercise, company’s corporate vice-president (human resources) Pratik Kumar said, “As the appraisal cycle gets over, a multi-layer review happens. Following that, people who have fallen in the lower quadrants of performance are put on watch. Some are asked to pull up and others are asked to move on.” He added that, “We took a closer look at our hiring and realised that we did not need to hire more, since there were people on the bench.” Many employees are being given counselling to improve their performance, others may be asked to leave.
At the end of the quarter ended June 2008, Wipro’s IT services employee base had fallen to 61,345 from 62,070 employees at the end of the previous quarter.

Firing-TCS
According to a recent report Asia’s largest software exporter, Tata Consultancy Services is gearing up to another round of layoffs. The company also plans to discourage employees from staying on bench for more than two months on any of its centres. Incidentally, the company had also fired close to 500 employees, citing poor performance after its annual appraisal. It was also among the very first companies to announce a cut in the employee variable pay across the board.
The company which sees some project delays this quarter, but no cancellations, terms this as an employee utilisation exercise. The process will involve counselling employees and training them. Employees would be asked to undertake projects on which they have never worked on and will have to update their skills. Recently, TCS also retrenched 15 employees from its Australian subsidiary. Interestingly, last month too, the company had shown door to some 25 employees from its Kolkata and Bangalore centers for fudging CVs. By June-end, the total employee strength TCS stood at 116,300, across 64 countries. The company hired 8,982 employees in the first quarter.

Firing-Satyam
After delayed appraisals and cut in payouts, India’s fourth largest IT service provider, Satyam Computer is reported to downsize its workforce by a whopping 4,500 employees. This translates to a little less than 9 per cent of the 51,000 employees that the company employs. Company sources reveal that 1,500 employees have been put under the performance improvement plan (PIP), euphemism for employees put on watch list and asked to shape up or ship out. Apart from this, 3,000 others have not been given any increment in the last appraisal cycle, thereby indicating that their services are dispensable. The company’s chief Ramalinga Raju had sent out an email to all employees warning them, especially the ones on the bench, to not bunk office and be in their best dress code, failing which they may face strict disciplinary action.
The company is reported to have handed pink slips to about 400 engineers and associates in Hyderabad, Pune and Visakhapatnam centers. The company management reportedly asked some of the employees to move out of its rolls to a contractual agreement or leave. Like its peers, Satyam too claims that the layoffs are a part of its appraisal system. Global head, human resources, SV Krishnan says, “Our experience has shown that around half of them exit the system either voluntarily or involuntarily. We have concluded our appraisal process some weeks back, and we believe we are witnessing similar trends like those in the past.” There were also reports that the company has deferred the joining date of 7500 graduates it had recruited from various college campuses this year.
However, the company said that it has no intention of withdrawing these offers. Interestingly, the company has recently announced plans to hire 15000 this year.

Has the downfall of IT started?
- TCS planning for more layoffs
- Wipro has already sacked 1000, still 2000 in question.
- Its been said that Satyam is about to axe 4500 employees
- IBM started sacking even before the downfall had begun, 700 entry level employees sacked.
- Some companies have ceased the salary hikes of it's employees.
Above all these, the worst scenario is about the future of all those students who have been recruited by the IT companies this year and still worse is the future of lakhs of students who have persuaded their graduation in IT and C.Sc......
Lets hope this is not the beginning of deterioration rather it's only a slight hick up.

From a Child's point of view
One rainy day,a mother started to pick her son from school,
thinking he would fear on seeing the lightening.
On the way she found him smiling at the sky for every strike of lightening,
She asked why?
He smiled and said,
" God is taking my photo,I have to look good.
that s why I smiled"
.......So, smile when problem threatens.

" Commitment" doesn't mean
sticking to a person when we don't have any option,
it means maintaining a relationship
with someone even when we have lots of options.

For my best friend
The most touching lines written for my best friend
"Ever u miss me, never a cry.
For a drop of tear in your eyes,
is a day less in my life."
Friendship rules.
"Ever u miss me, never a cry.
For a drop of tear in your eyes,
is a day less in my life."
Friendship rules.
Why I call u a friend?
Friendship is a strange thing. We find ourselves telling each other the deepest details of our lives, things we wont even share with our families.
So what is a friend?
a confidence?
a lover?
a shoulder to cry on?
an ear to listen?
a heart to feel?
A friend can be all of these things and more.No matter how long we have been together, I call u a friend because u read and understand me better than I do.....
Keep rocking

How to recover your past?
Do not count what you have lost...
just see what you have now,
because past never comes back, but sometimes
future can give u back what you have lost...
