Results:

OVER 60 POINTS:
Others see you as some one they should " handle with care."
You are seen as vain, self-centered, and extremely dominant.
Others may admire you and wish they could be more like you,
but they don't always trust you and hesitate to become too
deeply involved with you.

FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly volatile,
rather impulsive personality; a natural leader,
quick to make decisions (though not always the right ones).
They see you as a bold and venturesome,
Someone who will try anything-well, almost anything-once;
someone who takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They
enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you
radiate.

FROM 41 TO 50 POINTS:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, and
always interesting; someone who is constantly the center
of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to
your head. They see you also as kind, considerate, and
understanding; someone who will cheer them up and help
them out.

FROM 31 TO 40 POINTS:
Other people see you as sensible, cautious, careful, and
practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but
modest. Not a person who makes friend too quickly or too
easily, but someone who is extremely loyal to the friends
you do make and who expects the same loyalty in return.
Those who really get to know you realize that it takes a lot
to shake you trust in your friends, but, equally, that it takes
you a long time to get over it if that trust is shaken.

FROM 21 TO 30 POINTS:
Your friends see you as painstaking, perhaps little fussy at
times. They see you as very, very cautious and
extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It would really
surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on
the spur the of moment. They expect you to examine
everything carefully from every side and then, usually
decide against it. They think this reaction on your part is
caused partly by your carefully nature and partly by laziness.

UNDER 21 POINTS:
People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone
needs to be looked after, who always wants someone else
to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved
with anyone or anything. They see you as a worrier, who sees
problems that don't exist. Some people think your are boring.
Only the people who know you well know that you aren't. The
trouble is that you don't let very many people get close to you.

Gift of Time

EK ANEK AUR EKTA

!!!!! HUM SABHI EKH HAI BHAASSA ANEKH. ANEKH FULLO SEH SUGHANDI MAALA EKH .. !!!!!

Ek Anek aur Ekta is a triumph of how life's difficult lessons can be learned with a beautifully created but simple message.Ek Anek aur Ekta starts with a ...

Ek Anek Aur Ekta
Back in the 80s, this was the only Ekta on TV
Ek Anek aur Ekta is your basic Socialist fable. Perhaps we're reading too much political allegory into one shitty cartoon, but it helps to remember that back in the '80s, India and the USSR were great pals, and our government had definite Socialist leanings. Story starts with kid trying to pick mangoes off a tree:

Hum sabhi ek hain... ta ra ra ra ra.....
Now while he's running around in triangles, his sister is chilling under a tree. Pay close attention to her: Didi's got a great vocabulary and is intensely patriotic. She likes nothing better than to sit around and draw maps of India all day:
Kid quickly figures out that the mangoes are just not happening. He blinks a few times, then does this weird spaz walk to where his sister is chilling. And then he asks her - just like that - the question of the decade: Yeh "anek" kya hai, didi?
Anek yane bahut saare. Simple answer. Would be enough for most people, really. But not this kid. He still doesn't get it. Stupid kid with his crackly voice and shitty animation I hate him!!!!

Bahut saare? Kya bahut saare?

Accha... batati hoon.
Sooraj ek... chanda ek... taare anek.
Taare ko anek bhi kehte hai? God damn this kid is stupid. Maybe he'd be able to learn faster if he wasn't so high all the time. I'm not kidding... see how stoned he looks in this next shot:
So Didi explains it again, this time in a song that will burrow deep into your brain and replay itself over and over, at the strangest times, over the next twenty years. You already know the words.
Sooraj-a ek... (music)

Chanda ek... (music)

Ek, ek, ek, karke taare bhalle anek!
Theek se samjhao na, didi! He still doesn't get it. Just then, a squirrel climbs down the tree, sits on their shoulders, and then dashes off... Cue lesson two:
Dekho, dekho, ek gilahari....
Now some other squirrels also climb down the tree and run behind the first one. Song continues: Peeche peeche anek gilahariyan....
Tell me anek gilahariyan don't trip you out.
Lesson 3 is ek titali, followed by ek aur titali. To save time and space, I'm going to fast-forward straight on to anek titaliyan:
This is what anek titaliyan look like.
The awesome thing about anek titaliyan is that the kid finally gets it. He then holds up one finger, although it's a different one than I personally would have held up:

Ek ungli...

Anek ungliyan!
Now that he's got it, he doesn't stop. Didi, didi! Woh dekho! Anek chidiyan.
(cheesy string music)
Anek chidiyon ki kahani sunoge? ......

oh..... ITS MORE....

Okay, so here's the story that's within that other story. I vaguely remember reading something similar in a Panchatantra or Aesop's Fables type book. Only it wasn't quite like this.

(Intro) Aaa-aa-aaa....

aaa-aaa-aaaa...
Ek chidiya. Ek, ek karke, anek chidiya... Actually I think it was the same chidiya. Lazy-ass government animators.
Daana chugane ayi chidiya. Now a whole bunch of other kids suddenly show up from stage right. No one likes to miss a good story.
Didi, hame bhi sunao na!!

To suno phir se... ek chidiya, anek chidiya... daana chugane baith gayi thi.
Nice and peaceful, eh? But not for long. Shit's really about to go down now. Guess who's coming into the jungle? A gyad!
At this point you might ask: what's a gyad? Hah! Your Hindi sucks. A gyad is a chidiya pakadne wala.

Kid freaks out when he hears this. Phir kya hua, didi? Gyad ne unhe pakad liya? Maar dala? Didi shakes her head like the wise lady she is, and explains that you can do anything if you have himmat and stay united. And while she explains all this the camera pans over all the kids like they're an ad for Jackson's tissues.

They should just airdrop thousands of these wherever there's riots and fighting.
United we stand. Or in this case, fly. This is the great escape. The chidiyas move as one and fly away with the net. Chatur chidiya. Sajal Chidiya. Jal lekar bhaagi chidiya!
Ek... do... teen!!!

Door, ek gao ke paas, chidiyon ke dost choohe rehte the. That's an analogy for Communist Russia if there ever was one. Aur unhone chidiyon ka jaal kaat diya!
Now we are all comrades.

Still think I'm reading too much into it? Nevermind. Nothing can prepare you for the next scene: the dance. The choohe and the chidiyas get together for a synchronised dance that has to be seen to be believed. So see; believe.
What. The. Fuck.

At this point you're thinking, "it's all well and good that the chidiyas are safe, but what I really want to know is how to get mangoes off of a tree without falling down like the aam janta." Wonder no more. All you have to do is click ahead to the next page, and all will be revealed...

be the most irritating voice ever: To dekha... anek jab ek ho jaate hai, to kaisa mazaa aata hai!! Argh, it made me want to stab my eardrums with a compass. Check this, though: kid finally gets the idea:

Ho gaye ek! Ban gayi taakat!Ban gayi himmat!
The anek ungliyan have combined to form the fist in the air: international sign for resistance and revolution. Workers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains! Religion is the opium of the masses! Engels, fetch me a sandwich!
And you know how quickly revolutionary ideas spread. Suddenly all the kids are asking: Didi, agar hum ek ho jaye, to bada kaam kar sakte hai?

Agar hum ek ho jaye...

To is ped ke aam bhi tod sakte hai?
Which brings us back to the mangoes. Didi says they can do it if they work together. Then she arranges some stones one on top of another, the kids get the hint and form a human frame around the tree. Quite unneccessary, because the kid brother scampers up the trunk like it ain't no thang, shorty.

But what's the use of all these mangoes, I ask you, if they're only going to be concentrated in the hands of a few? So the kids all line up, and Didi gives each of them a mango. Equitable distribution of wealth, see?
Mmmm.... the sweet taste of equality and cooperation! And as the kids eat the mangoes, they turn into these pink, rosy-cheeked versions of themselves:

Brings back old memories when life was much simpler

" Uncertainity principles "

TWO SAILORS RAN INTO each other in a pub. Over a few beers, one of the men told the other about his last voyage: “After a month at sea,” he said, “we discovered our masts had been eaten through by termites! Almost nothing left of them.”

“That’s terrible,” said the second sailor.

“That’s what I thought at first too,” the first sailor said, “but it turned out to be good luck. As soon as we took the sails down to fix the masts, we were hit by a squall so suddenly and so hard, it would surely have blown us over if our sails were up at the time.”

“How lucky!”

“That’s exactly what I thought at the time too. But because our sails were down, we couldn’t steer ourselves, and because of the wind, we were blown onto a reef. The hole in the hull was too big to fix. We were stranded.”
“That is bad luck indeed.”

“That’s what I thought, too, when it first happened. But we all made it to the beach alive and had plenty to eat. But now here’s the real kicker: While we were on the island whining about our terrible fate, we discovered a buried treasure!”

As this story illustrates, you don’t know if an event is “good” or “bad” except maybe in retrospect, and even then you don’t really know because life keeps going. The story’s not over yet. Just because something hasn’t turned out to be an advantage yet doesn’t mean it is not ever going to.

Therefore, you can simply assume whatever happens is “good.”

I know that sounds awfully airy-fairy, but it’s very practical. If you think an event is good, it’s easy to maintain a positive attitude. And your attitude affects your health, it affects the way people treat you and how you treat others, and it affects your energy level. And those can help pave the way for things to turn out well. A good attitude is a good thing. And a bad attitude does you no good at all.

So get in the habit of saying “That’s good!” Since you don’t know for sure whether something will eventually work to your advantage or not, you might as well assume it will. It is counterproductive to assume otherwise. Think about it.

If someone ahead of you in line at a store is slowing everything down, say to yourself, “That’s good!” They may have saved you from getting into an accident when you get back in your car. Or maybe because you slowed down, you might meet a friend you would have missed. You never know.
The truth is, life is uncertain. And even that can work to your advantage.

When something “bad” happens, say to yourself, “That’s good!”

Love Life Quotes

Life without love is like a tree without blossom and fruit.

Story of Geese

Story of Geese

In the fall when you see geese heading south for the winter flying along in the "V" formation, you might be interested in knowing what science has discovered about why they fly that way. It has been learned that as each bird flaps its wings, it creates uplift for the bird immediately following. By flying in a "V" formation, the whole flock adds at least 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own.
People who are part of a team and share a common direction get where they are going quicker and easier, because they are travelling on the trust of one another and lift each other up along the way.
***********************************************************

Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go through it alone and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the power of the flock.
If we have as much sense as a goose, we will stay in formation and share information with those who are headed the same way that we are going.
***********************************************************

When the lead goose gets tired, he rotates back in the wing and another goose takes over.
It pays to share leadership and take turns doing hard jobs.
**********************************************************************

The geese honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep their speed.
Words of support and inspiration help energize those on the front line, helping them to keep pace in spite of the day-to-day pressures and fatigue. It is important that our honking be encouraging. Otherwise it’s just – well honking!
**********************************************************************

Finally, when a goose gets sick or is wounded by a gunshot and falls out, two geese fall out of the formation and follow the injured one down to help and protect him. They stay with him until he is either able to fly or until he is dead, and then they launch out with another formation to catch up with their group.
When one of us is down, it’s up to the others to stand by us in our time of trouble. If we have the sense of a goose, we will stand by each other when things get rough. We will stay in formation with those headed where we want to go.
