The Golden Moments of India's T20 Victory




Tirumala temple nets record ‘Hundi’ collection

In the highest ever collection, the 'hundi' at the famous hill temple of Lord Venkateswara on Monday recorded a staggering income of Rs.2.28 crore in a single day.

According to temple sources, this is the first time that hundi collections have crossed the Rs. 2 crore mark in a single day.

The previous highest of Rs.1.76 crore was recorded on the tenth of December, 2004.

Sources attributed this to the unprecedented rush which the hill temple has been witnessing during the past three days.

11th July: The Era of Asset Deflation Begins

If you have been able to liquidate your long term investments in spite of the euphoria pervading everywhere, I must compliment you for your courage. If you have built up short positions in past few days, you are in for large profits pretty soon.

Market traders somehow want to believe that Infosys and other tech companies will play some magical trick and come out with strong results. However, they are going to be disappointed, as the crisis for tech sector has just begun and is likely to grow to bigger proportions in next few years to come because of rising rupee and economic depression leading to low fresh IT investments in developed world.

There is another indicator of the economic depression, which may engulf the developed economies in near future. The new housing demand in US is down by 40% in first quarter and the property prices are expected to fall by 8% in near future.

The era of asset deflation has begun, which may soon lead to economic recession / depression. It seems that the market has already topped out.

May shiva bless you and empower you to make right choices.

Post Market Report Date June 26, 2007

Sensex posts modest gains
After staying firm for the better part of the session the Sensex slipped on profit booking in front-line stocks and closed marginally above its previous close.
The market returned to stability in the afternoon and gradually picked up momentum on healthy buying in consumer durables, capital goods and oil stocks but

slipped into the red on profit booking towards the close. The Sensex opened on a cautious note at 14479, down nine points, tracing weak Asian markets. The market remained choppy thereafter but with a positive bias. It moved gradually up on sustained buying in front-line stocks to touch the day's high of 14560. However, a strong bout of selling thereafter saw the market enter into the red towards the close but buying at lower levels helped the Sensex to pare some of the losses and enter into positive territory again. The Sensex finally closed at 14501, up 13 points, while the Nifty ended the session at 4286, up 26 points.

The broader market, however, continued to remain in the green. Of the 2,693 stocks traded on the BSE, 1,492 stocks advanced, 1,117 stocks declined and 84 stocks ended unchanged. Most of the sectoral indices ended in the green. The BSE CD was the biggest gainer and moved up by 2.71% at 4164 followed by the BSE CG index (up 1.01% at 11950) and the BSE PSU index (up 0.75% at 6789).

Vote for Angkor Wat Temple in the new 7 wonders contest !

The world wide contest is underway to find new Seven Wonders of the
World by a Swiss philanthropist Bernard Weber, a Swiss filmmaker and
curator.

* Please visit http://www.new7wond ers.com & vote for Angkor Wat Temple *

One of the Kerala based television channel is campaigning heavily for
Taj Mahal, even without mentioning that World's largest and best-
preserved Hindu Temple Ankor Wat is in this contest with third
position as on date.

We request all Indians to vote for Angkor Temple of Cambodia which is the true symbol
of Indian culture and Indian pride and reject Taj Mahal. Angkor may be physically present in Cambodia, but everything that it represents is truly and uniquely Indian. If declared as a "world wonder", it will help highlight how the ancient Indian cutlure had spread far and wide and nurtured all of Asia and the world at large.

There were many other Indian monuments considered during the intial shortlisting of 77, including the temples of Ajanta, Ellora, Khajuraho, Hampi, Thanjavur, Madurai. But they could not make it to the final list. So, Angkor is the best bet of all that represents our culture among the given entries.

ANGKOR TEMPLE
Built during the reign of the Hindu King Suryavaman II, at the beginning of the
12th century, it is the largest Hindu temple on earth.
The Angkor Wat temple is a physical manifestation of Mount Meru, central in
Hindu cosmology. Also see

'TAJ MAHAL'
'Taj Mahal' was constructed by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, who was a
cruel tyrant. Contrary to the general hearsay, the love between him and his wife-concubine Mumtaz in
whose memory the Taj is supposed to have been erected, was far from true, sincere and
worthy of emulating. Taj Mahal is not an edifice of Love, but a symbol of Mugal tyranny and oppression.

Making a baby--There is not one dirty word in it, and it is funny

The Smiths were unable to conceive children and decided to use a surrogate father to start their family. On the day the proxy father was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife goodbye and said, "Well, I'm off now. The man should be here soon."

Half an hour later, just by chance, a door-to-door baby photographer happened to ring the doorbell, hoping to make a sale. "Good morning, Ma'am", he said, "I've come to..."

"Oh, no need to explain," Mrs. Smith cut in, embarrassed, "I've been expecting you."

"Have you really?" said the photographer. "Well, that's good. Did you know babies are my specialty?"

"Well that's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat"

After a moment she asked, blushing, "Well, where do we start?"

"Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch, and perhaps a couple on the bed. And sometimes the living room floor is fun You can really spread out there."

"Bathtub, living room floor? No wonder it didn't work out for Harry and me!"

"Well, Ma'am, none of us can guarantee a good one every time. But if we try several different positions and I shoot from six or seven angles, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results."

"My, that's a lot!", gasped Mrs. Smith.

"Ma'am, in my line of work a man has to take his time. I'd love to be In and out in five minutes, but I'm sure you'd be disappointed with that."

"Don't I know it," said Mrs. Smith quietly.

The photographer opened his briefcase and pulled out a portfolio of his baby pictures. "This was done on the top of a bus," he said.

"Oh, my God!" Mrs. Smith exclaimed, grasping at her throat.

"And these twins turned out exceptionally well - when you consider their mother was so difficult to work with."

"She was difficult?" asked Mrs. Smith.

"Yes, I'm afraid so. I finally had to take her to the park to get the job done right. People were crowding around four and five deep to get a good look"

"Four and five deep?" said Mrs. Smith, her eyes wide with amazement.

"Yes", the photographer replied. "And for more than three hours, too. The mother was constantly squealing and yelling - I could hardly concentrate, and when darkness approached I had to rush my shots. Finally, when the squirrels began nibbling on my equipment, I just had to pack it all in."

Mrs. Smith leaned forward. "Do you mean they actually chewed on your, uh...equipment?"

"It's true, Ma'am, yes.. Well, if you're ready, I'll set-up my tripod and we can get to work right away."

"Tripod?"

"Oh yes, Ma'am. I need to use a tripod to rest my Canon on. It's much too big to be held in the hand very long."

Mrs. Smith fainted!!

Chocolate Sculptures





Have u Seen Day and Night at same time


The photograph attached was taken by the crew on board the Columbia
during its last mission, on a cloudless day.
The picture is of Europe and Africa when the sun is setting.
Half of the picture is in night. The bright dots you see are the cities' lights.

The top part of Africa is the Sahara Desert .

Note that the lights are already on in Holland , Paris , and Barcelona ,
and that's it's still daylight in Dublin , London , Lisbon , and Madrid .

The sun is still shining on the Strait of Gibraltar . The Mediterranean Sea is
already in darkness.

In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean you can see the Azores Islands;
below them to the right are the Madeira Islands ; a bit below are the
Canary Islands; and further South, close to the farthest western point
of Africa , are the Cape Verde Islands.

Note that the Sahara is huge and can be seen clearly both during
day time and night time.

To the left, on top, is Greenland , totally frozen.

Ever Been in This Situation Before?

How to ask for a salary increment

There comes a point in your career when you realise you deserve a raise. However, asking for one is often uncomfortable and intimidating. Usually, you get a raise of no more than five per cent when you stay at the same company. Most people fall in the bracket of two to three per cent but, with some smart planning, you really can get what you deserve.

Schedule an appointment
Don't storm into the boss' room with an ad-hoc request for a raise. Plan an appointment and have a strategy. Speak to trusted colleagues, friends and people from the industry and get some information on what a normal raise is for someone with your profile and experience. Also take your boss's mood into account.

Write a note to your boss without stating the precise reason for the meeting. Say it is to discuss a personal matter, to discuss your development or present an idea. If you say you want to ask for an increment, your boss is likely to say 'No' on the spot. Here is a sample note you could send to fix an appointment:

Dear Sir,

Could we meet for 30 minutes anytime this week to discuss my role and development? I would appreciate your advice. Please give me a time and date that suits you.

Sincerely,
Nikhil

Make a list of accomplishments
Create a list of accomplishments that are quantifiable and specific. For instance: 'Achieved 110 per cent of the sales target, managed the largest customer base of 130 high net worth customers in the sales region, supervised a team of 15 with a retention rate of 100 per cent.' Use words such as 'first', 'best in class', 'highest' and 'excellent'. Bring some supporting documents to the meeting, like an excel sheet that highlights your key accomplishments. Bosses like results, so be specific and detailed.

Forward-looking approach
No boss will entertain a request of paying you more for doing the same job. A smart way is to ask for increased responsibilities and tasks and link this to a salary raise either right away or in the long term. You can also create a 'pay for performance' system with your boss, where you get rewarded for the extra value you bring to the company over and above your main responsibilities.

Don't walk out with an empty plate
Give your boss/management a choice. The choice has to be between something and something else, not between something and nothing. If the company is in cost-cutting mode, consider other perks that you may be able to negotiate for in the short-term to compensate for the lack of money.

Read: There's more to a job offer than money
Send a follow-up note
After the meeting, send a note thanking your boss for his or her time and reinforcing the value you bring to the organisation. Also use this note to summarise the meeting, so your boss has some valid documentation. Here's a sample note:

Dear Sir,

Thank you for reviewing my responsibilities, role and salary at our meeting today. I believe I should receive a raise based on the following reasons: (List the reasons, presented as three to four bullet points)

I would be happy to provide details on any of the above accomplishments. I am very positive about my job and the future of the organisation and am willing to take on increased responsibilities. I am committed to contributing to the company's success in the future.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Nikhil

Remember, as long as you provide value to your organisation and they are doing fairly well financially, you have every reason to ask for a raise.
