And the best Mother Award goes to..........
In a zoo in California , a mother tiger gave birth to a rare set of triplet tiger cubs. Unfortunately, due to complications in the pregnancy, the cubs were born prematurely and due to their tiny size, they died shortly after birth.
The mother tiger after recovering from the delivery, suddenly started to decline in health, although physically she was fine. The veterinarians felt that the loss of her litter had caused the tigress to fall into a depression. The doctors decided that if the tigress could surrogate another mother's cubs, perhaps she would improve.
After checking with many other zoos across the country, the depressing news was that there were no tiger cubs of the right age to introduce to the mourning mother. The veter inarians decided to try something that had never been tried in a zoo environment. Sometimes a mother of one species will take on the care of a different species. The only orphans" that could be found quickly, were a litter of weaner pigs. The zoo keepers and vets wrapped the piglets in tiger skin and placed the babies around the mother tiger
Would they become cubs or pork chops??????? ??????
Take a look........ you won't believe your eyes!!!!

ICE its a nice idea!
A recent article from the Toronto Star, "the ICE idea", is catching on and it is a very simple, yet important method of contact for you or a loved one in case of an emergency. As cell phones are carried by the majority of the population, all you need to do is program the number of a contact person or persons and store the name as "ICE".
The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when they went to the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn't know which numbers to call. He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name to file "next of kin" under.
Following a disaster in London The East Anglican Ambulance Service has launched a national "In case of Emergency (ICE)" campaign. The idea is that you store the word "ICE " in your mobile phone address book, and with it enter the number of the person you would want to be contacted "In Case of Emergency ". In an emergency situation, Emergency Services personnel and hospital staff would then be able to quickly contact your next of kin, by simply dialling the number programmed under "ICE".
Please forward this. It won't take too many "forwards" before everybody will know about this. It really could save your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest. For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2, ICE3 etc.
A great idea that will make a difference !

Controversy about Taj Mahal
BE PATIENT WHILE READING FIRST FEW LINES . AFTER THAT YOU CANNOT STOP
COMPLETING
Check out the link below AFTER reading thins......
Real History of "Taj Mahal"
"The Moghul Emperor Shah Jahan in the memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal
built the Taj Mahal. It was built in 22 years (1631 to 1653) by 20,000
artisans brought to India from all over the world! . Many people
believe Ustad Isa of Iran designed it." This is what your guide
probably
told you if
you ever visited the Taj Mahal. This is the same story I read in my
history book as a student.
NOW READ THIS.......
No one has ever challenged it except Prof. P. N. Oak, who believes the
whole world has been duped. In his book Taj Mahal: The True Story, Oak
says the Taj Mahal is not Queen Mumtaz's tomb but an ancient Hindu
temple
palace of Lord Shiva (then known as Tejo Mahalay! a). In the course of
his research Oak discovered that the Shiva temple palace was usurped
by
Shah Jahan from then Maharaja of Jaipur, Jai Singh. In his own court
chronicle,
Badshahnama, Shah Jahan admits that an exceptionally beautiful grand
mansion in Agra was taken from Jai SIngh for Mumtaz's burial. The
ex-Maharaja of
Jaipur still retains in his secret collection two orders from Shah
Jahan for
surrendering the Taj building. Using captured temples and mansions, as
a burial place ! for dead courtiers and royalty was a common practice
among
Muslim
rulers.
For example, Humayun,Akbar, Etmud-ud-Daula and Safdarjung are all
buried in such mansions. Oak's inquiries began with the name of Taj
Mahal. He says the term "Mahal" has never been used for a building in
any
Muslim
countries from Afghanisthan to Algeria. "The unusual explanation that
the term Taj Mahal de! rives from Mumtaz Mahal was illogical in atleast
two
respects.
Firstly, her name was never Mumtaz Mahal but Mumtaz-ul-Zamani," he
writes. Secondly, one cannot omit the first three letters 'Mum' from a
woman's name to derive the remainder as the name for the
building."Taj
Mahal,
he claims, is a corrupt version of Tejo Mahalaya, or Lord Shiva's
Palace.
Oak also says the love story of Mumtaz and Shah Jahan is a fairy tale
created by court sycophants, blundering historians and sloppy
archaeologists.
Not a single royal chronicle of Shah Jahan's time corroborates the
love
story. Furthermore, Oak cites several documents suggesting the Taj
Mahal
predates Shah Jahan's era, and was a temple dedicated to Shiva,
worshipped by Rajputs of Agra city. For example, Prof. Marvin Miller
of New
York
took a few samples from the riverside doorway of the Taj. Carbon
dating
tests
revealed that the door was 300 years older than Shah Jahan. European
traveler Johan Albert Mandelslo,who visited Agra in 1638 (only seven
years
after Mumtaz's death), describes the life of the city in his memoirs.
But he
makes no reference to the Taj Mahal being built. The writings of
Peter
Mundy,
an English visitor to Agra within a year of Mumtaz's death, also
suggest the Taj was a noteworthy building well before Shah Jahan's
time.
Prof. Oak points out a number of design and architectural
inconsistencies that support the belief of the Taj Mahal being a
typical Hindu temple rather than a mausoleum.Many rooms in the Taj !
Mahal
have remained
sealed since Shah Jahan's time and are still inaccessible to the
public. Oak
asserts they contain a headless statue of Lord Shiva and other objects
commonly used for worship rituals in Hindu temples. Fearing political
backlash,
Indira Gandhi's government tried to have Prof. Oak's book withdrawn
from the
bookstores, and threatened the Indian publisher of the first edition
dire consequences. There is only one way to discredit or validate
Oak's research.
The current government should open the sealed rooms of the Taj Mahal
under U.N. supervision, and let international experts investigate.
Do circulate this to all you know and let them know about this
reality.....
This link ........it adds as a visual proof to what is described
above.

49-o Indian Constitution
Did you know that there is a system in our constitution, as per the 1969
act, in section "49-O" that a person can go to the polling booth,
confirm his identity, get his finger marked and convey the presiding
election officer that he doesn't want to vote anyone !!!!
Yes, such a feature is available, but obviously these seemingly
notorious leaders have never disclosed it. This is called "49-O".
Why should you go and say "I VOTE NOBODY"... because, in a ward, if a
candidate wins, say by 123 votes, and that particular ward has received
"49-O" votes more than 123, then that polling will be cancelled and
will have to be re-polled. Not only that, but the candidature of the
contestants will be removed and they cannot contest the re-polling,
since people had already expressed their decision on them.
This would bring fear into parties and hence look for genuine
candidates for their parties for election. This would change the way,
of our whole political system... it is seemingly surprising why, and
election commission has not revealed such a feature to the public....
please spread this news to as many as you know... Seems to be a
wonderful weapon against corrupt parties in India... show your power,
expressing your desire not to vote anybody, is even more powerful than
voting... so don't miss your chance. So either vote, or vote not to
vote (vote 49-O) and pass this info on... "Please forward this mail to
as many as possible, so that we, the people of India, can really use
this power to save our nation"
Beware of these organizations in India
BEWARE OF THESE BANKS
Looking at the rising complaints against ICICI Bank, Citibank, and Standard Chartered Bank, we request consumers to properly read their documents and keep a record when dealing with these banks, especially regarding credit card and housing loan. These three banks are biggest defaulters and do not resolve consumer problems easily. Be aware of their terms in writing. Keep a perfect record of all correspondence with them. If they do not agree to written communication, immediately stop their services.
BEWARE OF NOKIA
Nokia assures that their handset is covered under insurance. They even provide a certificate of insurance. But the condition is that if the handset is lost/stolen, you have to lodge an FIR to seek claims. The catch here is that the police station does not lodge FIR for loss of handsets, they only register NC. So you will never get insurance claims on basis of NC.
Nokia is selling some of its degraded products that have software problems. If you come across such problem in a new set, do not waste your time in running around service centres as it is not going to help much, ask for a replacement with a new set.
DO NOT BUY NOKIA 6260
BEWARE OF
AIR DECCAN
Their confirmed bookings are highly unreliable and of no guarantee that u will be allowed to fly. The booked tickets get cancelled without intimation to consumer only to be known by him when he goes to the airport to catch his flight.
BEWARE OF
COUNTRY CLUB, BANGALORE
They advertise that if you take their membership, a plot of land will be given free of cost near Golden Spa at Coconut Grove. Please note Golden Spa is 35 Kns from Bangalore and the said plot of land is over 100 Kms from Bangalore. Based on false promises and with arrangement with Citibank and ICICI Bank, this team cheats the consumers of his money by asking payments through credit card.
BOOK TELESALES & RECOVERY AGENTS
If you receive unwanted advertisement / telemarketing call from any company or recovery agents. Ask their telephone number and report to the police. File a police complaint against the Chairman of the company.
BEWARE OF
TATAINDICOM BROADBAND
Their promises to get you a broadband connection within a week is not to be relied upon. Once your money is stuck (about Rs. 2000), it takes lot of pains to recover it back.

Stress Management Part 1
Personal Mastery ( Good one)
1. Sleep less. This is one of the best investments you can make to make
your
life more productive and rewarding. Most people do not need more than 6
hours to maintain an excellent state of health. Try getting up one hour
earlier for 21 days and it will develop into a powerful habit. Remember, it
is the quality not the quantity of sleep that is important. And just
imagine
having an extra 30 hours a month to spend on the things that are important
to you.
2. Set aside one hour every morning for personal development matters.
Meditate, visualize your day, read inspirational texts to set the tone of
your day, listen to motivational tapes or read great literature. Take this
quiet period to vitalize and energize your spirit for the productive day
ahead. Watch the sun rise once a week or be with nature. Starting the day
off well is a powerful strategy for self-renewal and personal
effectiveness.
3. Do not allow those things that matter the most in your life be at the
mercy of activities that matter the least. Every day, take the time to ask
yourself the question "is this the best use of my time and energy?" Time
management is life management so guard your time with great care.
4. Use the rubber band method to condition your mind to focus solely on the
most positive elements in your life. Place a rubber band around your wrist.
Each time a negative, energy sapping thought enters your mind, snap the
rubber band. Through the power of conditioning, your mind will associate
pain with negative thinking and you will soon possess a strongly positive
mindset.
5. Always answer the phone with enthusiasm in your voice and show your
appreciation for the caller. Good phone manners are essential. To convey
authority on the line, stand up. This will instill further confidence in
your voice.
6. Throughout the day we all get inspiration and excellent ideas. Keep a
set
of cards (the size of business cards; available at most stationary stores)
in your wallet along with a pencil to jot down these insights. When you get
home, put the ideas in a central place such as a coil notepad and review
them from time to time. As noted by Oliver Wendell Holmes: "Man's mind,
once
stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions."
7. Set aside every Sunday evening for yourself and be strongly disciplined
with this habit. Use this period to plan your week, visualize your
encounters and what you want to achieve, to read new materials and
inspirational books, to listen to soft soothing music and to simply relax.
This habit will serve as your anchor to keep you focused, motivated and
effective throughout the coming week.
8. Always remember the key principle that the quality of your life is the
quality of your communication. This means the way you communicate with
others and, more importantly, the way you communicate with yourself. What
you focus on is what you get. If you look for the positive this is what you
get. This is a fundamental law of Nature.
9. Stay on purpose, not on outcome. In other words, do the task because it
is what you love to do or because it will help someone or is a valuable
exercise. Don't do it for the money or the recognition. Those will come
naturally. This is the way of the world.
10. Laugh for five minutes in the mirror each morning. Steve Martin does.
Laughter activates many beneficial chemicals within the body that place us
into a very joyous state. Laughter also returns the body to a state of
balance. Laughter therapy has been regularly used to heal persons with
varied ailments and is a wonderful tonic for life's ills. While the average
4 year old laughs 500 times a day, the average adult is lucky to laugh 15
times a day. Revitalize the habit of laughter, it will put far more living
into your life.
11. Light a candle beside you when you are reading in the evening. It is
most relaxing and creates a wonderful, soothing atmosphere. Make your home
an oasis from the frenzied world outside. Fill it with great music, great
books and great friends.
12. To enhance your concentration and powers of focus, count your steps
when
you walk. This is a particularly strong technique. Take six steps while
taking a long inhale, hold your breath for another six steps, and then
exhale for six steps. If six steps is too long for the breaths, do whatever
you feel comfortable with. You will feel very alert, refreshed, internally
quiet and centered after this exercise. So many people allow their minds to
be filled with mental chatter. All peak performers appreciate the power of
a
quiet, clear mind which will concentrate steadily on all important tasks.
13. Learn to meditate effectively. The mind is naturally a very noisy
machine which wants to move from one subject to another like an unchained
monkey. One must learn to restrain and discipline it if one is to achieve
anything of substance and to be peaceful. Meditation for twenty minutes in
the morning and twenty minutes in the evening will certainly provide you
with exceptional results if regularly practiced for six months. Learned
sages of the East have been advancing the many benefits of meditation for
over 5000 years.
14. Learn to be still. The average person doesn't spend even 30 minutes a
month in total silence and tranquility. Develop the skill of sitting
quietly, enjoying the powerful silence for at least ten minutes a day.
Simply think about what is important to you in your life.

your

NDIAN ECONOMY IS IN A BIG CRISIS. Fw: follow this to help!
FYI only, and for me it is valuable information. If you can avoid buying MNC/foreign collaboration products in you daily life, we can strengthen our economy.
DEAR ALL
U CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE TO THE INDIAN ECONOMY BY FOLLOWING FEW SIMPLE STEPS.
Please spare a couple of minutes here........for the sake of India ... our country..
I got this article from one of my friend, but it's true, I can see this from day to day life,
Small example,
Before 5 months 1 CAN $ = IND Rs 32
After 5 months. Now it is 1 CAN $ = IND Rs 37
Do you think Canadian Economy is booming? No, but Indian Economy is Going Down.
Our Economy is in u'r hands
INDIAN economy is in a crisis. Our country like many other ASIAN countries is undergoing a severe economic crunch. Many INDIAN industries are closing down. The INDIAN economy is in a crisis and if we do not take proper steps to control those, we will be in a critical situation.
More than 30000 crore rupees of foreign exchange are being siphoned out of our country on products such as cosmetics, snacks, tea, beverages...etc which are grown, produced and consumed here .
A cold drink that costs only 70 / 80 paisa to produce is sold for NINE rupees, and a major chunk of profits from these are sent abroad. This is a serious drain on INDIAN economy.
"COCA COLA "and" SPRITE" belong to the same multinational company, "COCA COLA"?
Coke advertisements says ' JO CHAHO HOJAYE, COCACOLA ENJOY'
(Whatever the hell, let it happen, you drink coke) What can you do?
You can consider some of the better alternatives to aerated drinks.
You can drink LEMON JUICE, FRESH FRUIT JUICES, CHILLED LASSI (SWEET OR SOUR), BUTTER MILK, COCONUT WATER, JALJEERA, ENERJEE, MASALA MILK..........
Everyone deserves a healthy drink, including you!
Over and above all this, economic sanctions have been imposed on us. We have nothing against Multinational companies, but to protect our own interests we request everybody to use INDIAN products only for next two years. With the rise in petrol prices, if we do not do this, the rupee will devalue further and we will end up paying much more for the same products in the near future.
What you can do about it?
1. Buy only products manufactured by WHOLLY INDIAN COMPANIES.
2. ENROLL as many people as possible for this cause.
Each individual should become a leader for this awareness.
This is the only way to save our country from severe economic crisis. You don't need to give-up your lifestyle. You just need to choose an alternate product.
All categories of products are available from WHOLLY INDIAN COMPANIES.
