father's day

Opening up a car lock with a tennis ball

A memory of college days

The first day of school our professor

introduced himself and challenged us to

get to know someone we didn't already know. I

stood up to look around when a gentle hand

touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a

wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me

with a smile that lit up her entire being.



She said, "Hi handsome. My name is Rose.

I'm eighty - seven years old. Can I give you a hug?"



I laughed and enthusiastically responded,

"Of course you may!" and she gave me a giant squeeze.



"Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?" I asked.



She jokingly replied, "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married,

have a couple of children, and then retire and travel."



"No seriously," I asked. I was curious what may have motivated

her to be taking on this challenge at her age.



"I always dreamed of having a college education

and now I'm getting one!" she told me.



After class we walked to the student union building and shared

a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends.



Every day for the next three months we would leave class together and

talk nonstop. I was always meomerized listening to this "time machine"

as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.



Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and

she easily made friends wherever she went.



She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed

upon her from the other students. She was living it up.



At the end of the year we invited Rose to speak at our graduation party

. I'll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced

and stepped up to the podium.



As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her three

by five cards on the floor. Frustrated and a little embarrassed she

leaned into the microphone and simply said "I'm sorry I'm so jittery.

I gave up beer for Lent and this whiskey is killing me! I'll never get

my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know."



As we laughed she cleared her throat and began: "We do not stop

playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing.

There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy,

and achieving success.



"You have to laugh and find humor every day."



"You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.

We have so many people walking around who are dead

and don't even know it!"



"There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.

If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and

don't do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old. If I

am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do

anything I will turn eighty-eight. Anybody can grow older. That

doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by

always finding the opportunity in change."



"Have no regrets. The elderly usually don't have regrets for what

we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who

fear death are those with regrets."



She concluded her speech by courageously singing "The Rose."



She challenged each of us to study the lyrics

and live them out in our daily lives.



At the years end Rose finished the college degree

she had begun all those years ago.



One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.



Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in tribute

to the wonderful woman who taught by example that it's never

too late to be all you can possibly be.



GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY,

GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL.

"Life laughs at you when you are unhappy ... Life smiles at you when you are happy ... Life salutes you when you make others happy" ...

I hope Life will smile and give another chance to talk to you...Hannah

If the Titanic was made in India

1) There would be 10 times as many people on the ship

2) There would be a song with Kate Winslet in a white saree and of course singing in the rain

3) The movie would be called "Pyar Kiya To Marna Kya"

4) Hero and Heroine would float in cold water for days and still survive, but the villian would die on the first dip

5) The iceberg would be sent by the heroine's father to teach the hero a lesson

6) None of the women would float due to heavy designer sarees.

And last but not least

7) Half of the rescue boats would be reserved for SC/ST/OBC

EVER WONDER where we are headed...

Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?
Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed?
Why you don't ever see the headline: "Psychic Wins Lottery"?
Why "abbreviated" is such a long word?
Why Doctors call what they do "practice"?
Why you have to click on "Start" to stop Windows 98?
Why lemon juice is made with artificial flavour, while dishwashing liquid is made with real lemons?
Why the man who invests all your money is called a "Broker"?
Why there isn't mouse flavoured cat food?
Who tastes dog food when it has a "new & improved" flavour?

Why Noah didn't swat those two mosquitoes?
Why they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?
Why they don't make the whole plane out of the material used for the indestructible black box?
Why sheep don't shrink when it rains?
Why they are called apartments when they are all stuck together?
If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?
Why they call the airport "the terminal" if flying is so safe?

AND... In case you need further proof that the human race is doomed because of stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods.

On a Myer hairdryer: "Do not use while sleeping". - (Darn, and that's the only time I have to work on my hair).

On a bag of Chips: You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. - Details inside. (The shoplifter special?)

On a bar of Palmolive soap: "Directions: Use like regular soap". - (And that would be how???)

The Beautiful and a Bungler

This morning on the freeway to work,
I looked over to my left and there was
a beautiful Woman
in a brand new Cadillac
doing 65 mph
with her Face up next to her rear view mirror
putting on her eyeliner.


I looked just away
for a couple seconds!
And when I looked back she was
halfway over in my lane
with flashing signal,
still working on that makeup.

As a man,
I don't scare that easy.
But she scared the hell out of me
that I dropped my electric shaver,
which knocked
the breakfast of donut out of my other hand.


In all the confusion of trying
to straighten out the car
using my knees against
the steering wheel, it knocked
my cell phone
away from my ear which fell
into the coffee
between my legs,
splashed, and burned
my pride big Jim and the twins balls,
ruined the damn phone, soaked my pants,
and disconnected an important business call.

The Way to Win ( Poem )

One day a group of boys
Decided to have a race
They chose to climb a great big tree
And set off at a pace


The rest of their friends gathered
To see the boys at play
They talked about it to themselves
"Will they make it?" "No way!"


They called up to the children
"You'll never make it up that tree"
But the boys just kept on climbing
And said "just watch and you will see"


But the others, how they shouted
And thought the boys tried to ignore
They began to drop out one by one
Another, another and then more


But one boy kept on climbing
And made it to the top of the tree
He never lost faith but believed in himself
And said "this won't defeat me"


The others were quite amazed
At the squirrel at the top of the tree
"How on earth did he do it?" they said
"Well", said one, "he's completely deaf, you see"


So the motto of this poem is
You can reach the top of the tree
Just don't listen to what others say
Just believe in yourself and you'll see.........
