Parents Wish To Their Kids

  1. On the day when you see us old, weak and weary…… Have patience - and do try to understand us…….
  2. If we get dirty when eating…and.. If we cannot dress on our own… Please bear with us and remember the times we spent feeding you and dressing you up.
  3. If, when we speak to you, we repeat the same things over and over again… do not interrupt us… When you were small, we had to read to you the same story a thousand and one times until you went to sleep. ...listen to us.
  4. When we do not want to have a shower, neither shame us nor scold us….. Remember when we had to chase you with your thousand excuses to get you to the shower?
  5. When you see our ignorance of new technologies…. Help us navigate our way through these worldwide webs. . We taught you how to do so many things… To eat the right foods, to dress appropriately, To fight for your rights….
  6. When at some moments we loose the memory or the thread of our conversation……...let us have the necessary time to remember… and if we cannot, do not become nervous….. As the most important thing is not our conversation but simply to be with you and to have you listening to us….
  7. If ever we do not feel like eating, do not force us. We know well when we need to and when not to eat. When our tired legs give way and do not allow us to walk without a cane…. Lend us your helping hand the same way we did when you tried your first faltering steps.
  8. And when someday we say to you that we don’t want to live anymore, that we want to die………. Do not get angry…. For one day you will understand. Try to appreciate that our age is not just lived but survived.
  9. Some day you will realize that despite our mistakes… We always wanted the best for you.. And we tried to prepare the way for you….. You must not feel sad, angry nor ashamed for having us near you. Instead, try to understand us and help us like we did when you were young.
  10. Help us to walk.. Help us to live the rest of our life with love and dignity. We will pay you with a smile and by the immense love we have always had for you in our hearts.
  11. We love you, child.. Mom & Dad

Ramo Vigrahavan Dharmah

A great verse from Ramayana: आहार निद्रा भय मैथुनं च  सामान्यमेतत् पशुभिर्नराणाम् । धर्मो हि तेषामधिको विशेष:  धर्मेण हीनाः पशुभिः समानाः ॥ AhAra-nidrA-bhaya-maithunam cha samAnam_etat_pashubhir_narANAm | dharmo hi teShAm adhiko visheSho dharmeNa hInAH pashubhiH samAnAH|| Eating, Sleep, Fear and Sex ; these habits are common between human beings and animals. It is the Dharma which is the special quality of the human beings. Without the Dharma, they are similar to the animals.  Rama is The Embodiment Of Dharma.  Maaricha, while speaking to Ravana- (Aranya Kandam 37-13): रामो विग्रहवान् धर्मः साधुः सत्य पराक्रमः | राजा सर्वस्य लोकस्य देवानाम् इव वासवः || ३-३७-१३|| raamo vigrahavaan dharmaH saadhuH satya paraakramaH | raajaa sarvasya lokasya devaanaam iva vaasavaH || 3-37-13 "Rama is the embodiment of righteousness, he is an equable person with truthfulness as his valour, and as with Indra to all gods he is the king of entire world.

Microsoft moving to Live (Online sofware services)

Microsoft plans to launch Internet-based complements to its core products(Windows and Office), that create opportunities for the company to sell online subscriptions and advertising. Windows Live is a set of Internet-based personal services, such as e-mail, blogging and instant messaging. Office Live will come in both ad-based and subscription versions that augment MS' Office suite. The programs won't replace the paid software but instead seem aimed at capturing its online share. Windows Live at Live.com . From BBC The move to online software services is closely linked to the spread of high-speed access to the internet, as online software services are only as good as a user's access to the web. Mr Gates, who is Microsoft's chairman and chief software architect, said the strategic shift would change his company's approach to doing business: "We are trying to put a 'service plus software' mentality into many of the product groups inside Microsoft."
