4. Just joined: Too cheez badi hai mast mast......
5. after some time: Ye kahaan aa gaye hum??
6. After some more time: Naa koyi umang hai, naa koyi tarang hai, meri jindagi ek kati Pathang hai (booohoooo)
7. floating the resume: kabootar ja ja ja... kabootar ja ja ja... pehele pyar ki peheli chitthi...
8. finally when you don't get a better offer any longer:
Jeena Yehaan, marna Yehaan
iske siwa Jaana Kahaa…….!!
LOVE YOU DAD
To see you now with life's scars on your face
Each one tells a story of its own
As the lines grow many and deeper with time
Your love shines through and never dims.
Things I took for granted like you'd always be here
Now weighs heavy like a stone in my heart
You gave me life and took from your own
With never a second thought never a blink
I hope that now as you look back
You see your love was not wasted on me
I could never be all that you are to me
I am merely a reflection of your heart
i know the pain you went through
when you couldnt see ur father when born
gods grace i am not unlucky like you
but to be blessed to have a father like you
Through it all I will always love you
thanks dad

FUTURISTIC TRENDS IN BAR- HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE LIQUEUR
I plan on using my amuse buche' shot glasses and topping each one with a dollop of freshly whipped cream and s sprinkling of shavings.
It's also just the thing to take plain vanilla ice cream way over the top with it's lusciousness!
This liqueur also makes just the most fabulous martini in the world and its so much fun to let it slip that you made the liqueur yourself!
SERVES 6
Ingredients1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup boiling water
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup water
1 cup vodka
3/4 cup heavy cream, for topping
Directions
In a bowl, dissolve cocoa powder in boiling water.
In a saucepan, bring sugar and water to a simmer, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
Add sugar syrup to cocoa syrup.
Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a jar with a lid.
Add the vodka, cover and refrigerate over night.
To serve, stir well and strain again through a fine-mesh sieve into a martini glass, 2/3 full.
Top with lightly-sweetened whipped cream, or float heavy cream on top.
(Hold a spoon with the bowl down and the edge almost touching the liqueur in the glass. Pour the cream slowly over the back of the spoon until a layer 1/8 to 1/4 inch deep floats on top of the liqueur.)
Garnish with cocoa nibs or chocolate shavings.
AKSHAY ADVICE-YOU CAN ALSO ADD CREAM DURING MAKING PROCESS WHICH WILL MAKE YOU REACH NEXT TO BAILEYS OR DOOLEYS
TRY MELTED VANILLA ICE CREAM IT CAN MAKE WONDERS
TRUST ME
CHEERS
FUTURISTIC TRENDS IN BAR - HOT BUTTERED RUM
I love hot buttered rum! It’s an especially cheerful beverage to drink right now when the holidays are over and you’re left with the chilly January winds.
It’s a wonderful thing to drink before bed when you’re feeling a bit under the weather and a gentle restorative for “the morning after” a bit of an excessive night!
My homemade hot buttered rum is not terribly traditional because it’s really a blend of two recipes; one for the ancient medieval drink known as “Lambs Wool” and a traditional hot buttered rum made with rum and lots of spice! “Lambs Wool” is a truly wonderful drink all on its own; a delicious blend of baked apples, mulling spices, cider and dark ale slowly simmered until the apples are all “wooly”!
To transform the recipe into the buttered rum all you’ll need are a few simple additions!The first thing that you’ll need to do is bake a plate of apples! Simply core 4 or 5 small apples and fill the insides with raisins, slivered almonds, brown sugar , pumpkin pie spices , amaretto and butter. If the ingredients spill all over the apples even better and bake them until soft and caramelized! In a pinch you can use cinnamon applesauce and it will taste very good but I like the baked and buttered apples better!
They are about as good as it gets for this medieval history buff!Next, pour a gallon of good cider into a pot and add 1 and a half cups of brown sugar, several cracked cinnamon sticks,1/2 of a teaspoon of whole cloves, 1 teaspoon of vanilla and a teaspoon each of ginger, cinnamon, cardamom and nutmeg.
Bring to a boil and add the apple and all of their juices. Let them simmer for a bit or until the apples explode and get all “wooly”. Trust me, you’ll know what I mean by that! Then bring down the heat a bit and add 1 bottle of very good dark ale and a half of a bottle of red wine (something you like the taste of and not too cheap).
Simmer for another minute and then add one stick of organic salted butter. When the butter has melted, give the whole thing a good stir and then taste. Adjust the seasonings and the sugar and then add the rum , probably about half a fifth! You’ll have to taste as you go, but that’s the only way to get the proportions correct! I love to use CAPTAIN MORGAN Rum because it is so rich, dark and as sweet as the molasses it’s made from. The Captain Morgan “Private Stock” will work well also, but may be a bit prohibitive in price for the amount you’ll need! However…if that’s not an issue go ahead and drink with the Captain because the Private Stock elevates this drink from exceptional to ambrosial…..One more good stir and you’re ready to serve!
You’ll notice that the whole thing will have become very silken and be sure to add more butter if you wish! Serve the Hot Buttered Rum in tempered glass mugs that you’ve already warmed with a swish of boiling hot water. Garnish with a cinnamon stick and enjoy and if you really want to gild the lily, a dollop of sweetened whipped cream!I purchased the bottles of Myers Original Dark Rum and the Captain Morgan Private Stock Rum and Amaretto that I used for this recipe all by myself........

LEADERSHIP
AS I ALWAYS SAY AM OPTIMISTIC TO SAY THE LEAST
YAYA BALL TALKS AM GOOD AT THAT TOOO
THATS WHY AM WRITING THIS ONE
THIS IS THE INTRESTING TOPIC
One of those reasons is the underlying belief that leadership can be taught.
With enough training, anybody can be a leader. The theory is that leaders are made, not born. Or are they?
The other day a woman told me that she sees definite leadership traits in her son. I asked her how old he was. "Six," she replied. Too young to have been through any leadership training
. So areleaders born or made? The answer is both
.The problem is that we often get fuzzy about what can and cannot be taught, and at the heart of the fuzziness is the difference between talent and skill.Talent is what we do well naturally. It is our bent.
Talents are inborn, and can be discovered and developed. They cannot be taught. However, skills can. Skills are simply how to do something. They are learned and transferable. When we confuse talent and skill, we set ourselves up for disappointing expectations from training.What does this have to do with developing leaders? Everything. For example, the ability to create vision and strategy is a key leadership trait. Some people have a talent for it. They do it naturallyand continually.
Others don’t. Both can learn some skills that will help them do it better. The difference is that the one with the corresponding talent can be excellent at it, while the otherone can be adequate at best. Talent is required for excellence. Who wants more "adequate" leaders?Here’s the bottom line for developing your leadership potential: become the leader you are designed to be. Discover your natural motivational talents, and build on them. Volunteer for assignments and training that complement your natural giftedness.
BUST MOST IMP LEARNING ADEQUATE SKILLS FOR APPROPRIATE JOB IS ESSENTIAL
THATS HE REASON AM NOT JUMPING ANYWERE IN MY LAST 3 YRS
ONLY CLOSE ONE CAN UNDERSTAND
Get on the track to excellence by aligning your development with your talents.There are all types of leaders.
Some rouse and inspire.
Some organize.
Some are strategic, and some tactical.
Some spot opportunities, and some protect against disaster
. All are needed in this worldof ours.
you are imposible ms ******
though am highly optimistic
this gal has tested my limits
i remember the story i told you
here i repeat again ms ******
A store that sells husbands has just opened in itpl bangalore, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates.
You may visit the store Only once!There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights.
There is, however, one condition ; you may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back except to the exit of the building.
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men have jobs and love the Lord.
The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love kids.
The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, and are extremely good looking."Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop- dead good looking and help with the housework."Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop- dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads
:Floor 6 - You are visitor 4,363,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please.Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store. Watch your step as you exit the building, and have a nice day!
SO PLEASE HAVE A NICE DAY AND MAKE OTHERS DAY NICE

motivation versus talent
Talent is what we DO well naturally. They can exist independently, but when they combine, they create something special. They create motivated talents.People often are naturally good at something (talented), but it just doesn’t turn them on. For example, manoj is good with numbers, but he doesn’t go out of his way to find tasks calling for that talent. Most people have such talents. But then there are those talents that we really enjoy using.
These are the motivated talents, and this is where the magic is.We use motivated talents every chance we get. Most of the time we don’t even think about it. For example, akshay has a motivated talent for conversation, and he naturally engages both friends andstrangers in dialog. He doesn’t consciously determine to do so; it just happens. It’s natural and unforced. He enjoys it, and he’s good at it.
That’s the hallmark of a motivated talent.Motivated talents tend to be irrepressible. They find expression. In fact, if you’ve ever tried to stifle a motivated talent (either yours or someone else’s) it probably felt like you were tryingto hold two dozen ping pong balls under water at the same time. Motivated talents pop out, even if no one else is asking for them. And doesn’t that make sense? After all, it’s what we do wellAND enjoy.Well then, wouldn’t the ideal job be one where you can use your motivated talents daily and get paid for it? Absolutely!
