OM SAIRAM=FIVE FINGER PRAYER


OM SAIRAM
FIVE FINGER PRAYER

1. Your thumb is nearest you. So begin your prayers  by praying for those closest to you. Like your Family & Relatives.

2. The next finger is the pointing finger. Pray for those who teach,  instruct and heal. This includes teachers, doctors, and ministers.  They need support and wisdom in pointing others in the right direction.  Keep them in your prayers.
3. The next finger is the tallest finger. It reminds us of our leaders.  Pray for the president, leaders in business and industry,  and administrators. These people shape our nation and guide public opinion.  They need God”s guidance.
4. The fourth finger ! is our ring finger. Surprising to many is  the fact that this is our weakest finger, as any piano teacher will testify.  It should remind us to pray for those who are weak, in trouble or in pain.  They need your prayers day and night. You cannot pray too much for them.

5. And lastly comes our little finger - the smallest finger of all  which is where we should place ourselves in relation to God and others.  As the Bible says, “The least shall be the greatest among you.”  Your pinkie should remind you to pray for yourself. By the time you  have prayed for the other four groups, your own needs will be put into  proper perspective and you will be able to pray for yourself more effectively
  

Customer Service..nice story.


Customer Service..nice story.

This took place on a BA (British Airways) flight
 between Johannesburg and London. A white woman,
 about 50 years old, was seated next to a black man.
 Obviously disturbed by this, she called the air Hostess.
 
“Madam, what is the matter,” the hostess asked.
 
“You obviously do not see it then?” she responded. 
“You placed me next to a black man. I do not agree 
to sit next to someone from such a repugnant group. 
Give me an alternative seat.”
 
“Be calm please,” the hostess replied. “Almost all the 
places on this flight are taken. I will go to see
if another place is available.”
 
The Hostess went away and then came back a few
 minutes later. “Madam, just as I thought, there are
 no other available seats in the Economy class. 
I spoke to the captain and he informed me that there
 is also no seat in the business class. All the same,
 we still have one place in the first class.”
 
 
Before the woman could say anything,
the hostess continued:
 
“It is not usual for our company to permit someone
from the economy class to sit in the first class. 
However, given the circumstances, the captain 
feels that it would be scandalous to make 
someone sit next to someone so disgusting.”
 
 
She turned to the black man, and said,
 
“Therefore, Sir, if you would like to, please collect 
your hand luggage, a seat awaits you in first class.”
 
At that moment, the other passengers who were
shocked by what they had just witnessed 
stood up and applauded.

Moments In Life


There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!
When the door of happiness closes, another opens; but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don’t see the one, which has been opened for us.
Don’t go for looks; they can deceive. Don’t go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.
Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy.
The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can’t go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so at the end, you’re the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
Please send this message to those people who mean something to you (I JUST DID); to those who have touched your life in one way or another; to those who make you smile when you really need it; to those who make you see the brighter side of things when you are really down; to those whose friendship you appreciate; to those who are so meaningful in your life.
If you don’t send it, don’t worry, nothing bad will happen to you; you will just miss out on the opportunity to brighten someone’s day with this message!!!*
Don’t count the years-count the memories………..*
*Life is a road full of twist and turns…* *Learn to enjoy the ride no matter how bumpy it is,* *for in every twist and each turn, a blessing is given in return **”Live everyday as if it’s the last day”*

A very touching LoVE sTORY


Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all repaired their boats and left.
Love wanted to persevere until the last possible moment. When the island was almost sinking, Love decided to ask for help. Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, “Richness, can you take me with you?” Richness answered, “No, I can’t. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you.”
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel, “Vanity, please help me!” “I can’t help you Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat.” Vanity answered.
Sadness was close by so Love asked for help, “Sadness, let me go with you.” “Oh….Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!”
Happiness passed by Love too, but he was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her!
Suddenly, there was a voice, “Come Love, I will take you.” It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that he even forgot to ask the elder his name. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went his own way.
Love realizing how much he owed the elder and asked Knowledge, another elder, “Who helped me?” “It was Time,” Knowledge answered. “Time?” asked Love. “But why did Time help me?” Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, “Because, only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is.”

Some Hidden Information Behind Creation Of Famous Corporate Logos

amazon

This logo doesn’t seem to hide much at first sight, but it gives you a little insight in the philosophy behind the brand. First of all, the yellow swoosh looks like a smile: Amazon.com want to have the best customer satisfaction. The swoosh also connects the letters a and z, meaning that this store has everything from a to z.
baskinrobbins

The old logo of Baskin Robbins had the number 31 with an arc above it. The new logo took this idea to the next level. The pink parts of the BR still form the number 31, a reference to the 31 flavours.
continental

Continental is a manufacturer of tyres. You could actually see this in their logo, because the first two letters create a 3-dimensional tyre.
carrefour

Carrefour is one of the biggest European retailers, and it’s also French for “crossroads”. The logo symbolizes this word via two opposite arrows. They also added the first letter of the name, because if you look closely you’ll see the letter C in the negative space between the two arrows.
fedex

This is probably one of the best known logos with a hidden meaning. If you look closely, you’ll see an arrow that’s formed by the letters E and x. This arrow symbolizes speed and precision, two major selling points of this company.
sonyvaio

Sony Vaio is a well known brand of laptops. But did you know that the name Vaio logo also had a hidden meaning? Well, the first two letters represent the basic analogue signal. The last two letters look like a 1 and 0, representing the digital signal.
sunmicrosystems

The Sun logo is one of the most famous ambigrams in the world. You can read the brand name in every direction; both horizontally and vertically. This logo was designed by professor Vaughan Pratt of the Stanford University.
uniliver

Unilever is one of the biggest producers of food, beverages, cleaning agents and personal care products. They produce a huge amount of different products and they wanted to reflect this in their logo. Each part of the logo has a meaning. For example: the heart represents love, care and health – feeling good, a bird is a symbol of freedom. Relief from daily chores – getting more out of life.
formulaone

At first, this logo might not make much sense. But if you look closely, you’ll see the number 1 in the negative space between the F and the red stripes. I also love how this logo communicates a feeling of speed.
toblerone

Toblerone is a chocolate-company from Bern, Switzerland. Bern is sometimes called ‘The City Of Bears’. They have incorporated this idea in the Toblerone logo, because if you look closely, you’ll see the silhouette of a bear.
