How to kill a lion in BANKING STYLE

How to kill a Lion in banking style?

HSBC Method :
Hire a lion. Give him full rest & make him lazy, Pay him more than his expectation, Never ask him to do any work upto six months, after six months tell him that now you have to fulfill ur yearly target within six months otherwise u will be kickout from jungle.

Lion dies due to fear, that if he loose this lazy animals jungle where he will go.

ICICI method:
Hire a lion. Give him hell a lot of work and pay him lower salary than his politically astute peers. Restructure his job, position, boss,
colleagues, designation, department, salary, location every 6 months. Remove all lions above 40 from the organization by giving them VRS. If he kills 2 goats a day, give him target of killing 20 elephants a day, when there are just 10 elephants in the jungle.

Lion dies of exhaustion, overkill and restructuring.

HDFC method:
Hire a lion and ask him to meow like a cat. Give him lots of ESOPs and grass to eat.

He will die eventually of hope and starvation.

Citibank method:
Hire the lion, make him take 14 tests and tell him that if he doesn't score 90% he will lose the job. Ask him to extract 60 kg meat out of a 40kg goat.
Lion dies of the strain.

ABN AMRO method:

Hire the lion. Give him high impossible targets and expect a premature delivery of these targets. If the targets are delivered, clap for him in a town hall and if not delivered humiliate him regularly.

Lion either dies of excitement or starts behaving like Tom Hanks in Terminal.

StanChart method:

Hire a lion; motivate him to outshine other lions in the jungle. Load him with impractical targets and if he finds the prey, ensure jackals in the jungle snatch the prey and the lion dies in oblivion......

Kotak method :

Hire a lion, load him with targets to focus on value instead of volume. Every quarter change the style and make his life miserable.

If he survives in the system reward him with a hefty bonus.

SBI Method:

Recruits a lion, give him the power of mouse.

Lion dies of over expectation and no results.............

Idbi method:

Recruits a lion, Give him posting among cats. People call him manager but he is actually a clerk. Expect to work as all rounder.

Lion dies in frustration or escapes to another jungle.

Deutsche Bank Method

Hire a Lion. Tell him that you need to work most of the day & half the night.
Also tell him that all the Lions in all the jungles are doing it & he shouldn't mind doing it.
Tell him that the work he does would make him king, even though he would be paid like a pauper.
Change the look of the jungle once in 5 years & tell him there's a new challenge for him, although the animals & trees in the jungle remain the same (beats me......what's the challenge).
Give the Lion some irrational motivational talks & tell him to wait till the grass turns blue in the jungle.

Lion dies waiting.

AND FINALLY

RBI Method:

Hire a lion and give him a 3000 page circular on how to kill a goat. Amend the circular atleast three times a day. Send him on inspection to the jungle, where he can threaten to cancel the hunting licence of any fox, wolf, bear, jackal etc who have violated any provision of the 3000 page circular.

Lion dies of boredom.

The Buffalo Theory of Beer:

"Well ya see, it's like this...

A herd of  buffalo can  only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the  herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest  ones at  the back that are killed first This natural selection  is good  for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole  group keeps improving by the regular  killing of the weakest members.

In much the same way, the human brain can  only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of  alcohol, as we know,  kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain  cells first.

In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the  weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.  That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

Are you a beggar?









 
….. one remains a beggar. Our whole life proves it again and again -- every desire frustrates. And when the goal is achieved, you will need another desire. The day you understand that desire as such is going to fail comes the turning point in your life. …..

Are you a beggar ?
An emperor was coming out of his palace for his morning walk when he met a beggar. He asked the beggar, "What do you want?"The beggar laughed and said, "You are asking me as though you can fulfill my desire!"

The king was offended. He said, "Of course I can fulfill your desire. What is it? Just tell me."

And the beggar said, "Think twice before you promise anything."

The beggar was no ordinary beggar, he was the emperors past life master. He had promised in that life, "I will come and try to wake you in your next life. This life you have missed but I will come again." But the king had forgotten completely -- who remembers past lives? So he insisted, "I will fulfill anything you ask. I am a very powerful emperor, what can you possibly desire that I can not give to you?"

The beggar said, "It is a very simple desire. You see this begging bowl? Can you fill it with something?"

The emperor said, "Of course!" He called one of his viziers and told him, "Fill this mans begging bowl with money." The vizier went and got some money and poured it into the bowl, and it disappeared. And he poured more and more, and the moment he would pour it, it would disappear. And the beggging bowl remained always empty.

The whole palace gathered. By and by the rumor went throughout the whole capital, and a huge crowd gathered. The prestige of the emperor was at stake.

He said to his viziers, "If the whole kingdom is lost, I am ready to lose it, but I cannot be defeated by this beggar."

Diamonds and pearls and emeralds, his treasuries were becoming empty.The begging bowl seemed to be bottomless. Everything that was put into it --everything! --immediately disappeared, went out of existence. Finally it was the evening, and the people were standing there in utter silence. The king dropped at the feet of the beggar and admitted his defeat. he said, "Just tell me one thing. You are victorious - but before you leave, just fulfill my curiousity. What is the begging bowl made of?"

The beggar laughed and said, "It is made up of the human mind. There is no secret. It is simple made up of human desire."

This understanding transforms life. Go into one desire -- what is the mechanism of it? First there is a great excitement, great thrill, adventure. you feel a great kick. Something is going to happen, you are on the verge of it. And then you have the car, you have the yacht, you have the house, you have the woman, and suddenly all is meaningless again.

What happens? Your mind has dematerialized it. The car is standing in the drive, but there is no excitement anymore. The excitement was only in getting it. You became so drunk with the desire that you forgot your inner nothingness. Now the desire is fulfilled, the car in the drive, the woman in your bed, the money in your bank account - again excitement disappears. Again the emptiness is there, ready to eat you up. Again you have to create another desire to escape this yawning abyss.

That's how one moves from one desire to another desire. That's how one remains a beggar. Your whole life proves it again and again -- every desire frustrates. And when the goal is achieved, you will need another desire. The day you understand that desire as such is going to fail comes the turning point in your life. The other journey is inwards. move inwards, come back home.

How numerals 0 - 9 got their shape

Happy sunday to all friends...!
Read this first, then open the Attachment
  
How numerals 0 - 9 got their shape: Do you know why numbers look like they do? Someone, at some point in time, had to create their shapes and meaning.
 
Watch this short presentation and then you will know how our Arabic numbers were originally created a very long time ago and what logic the people that created them used to determine their shapes. It is really very simple and quite creative?
 
You have to admire the intelligence of a person/s that created something so simple and perfect that it has lasted for thousands and thousands of years and will probably never change.
 
When the presentation gets to the number "seven" you will notice that the 7 has a line through the middle of it. That was the way the Arabic 7 was originally written, and in Europe and certain other areas they still write the 7 that way.  Also, in the military, they commonly write it that way. The nine has a kind of curly tail on it that has been reduced,  for the most part nowadays, to a simple curve, but the logic involved still applies.
 
Click on the right arrow each time you want to advance the slide show.

JACK DANIELS FISHING STORY


Read it….really nice JJ
 
I finally got around to going fishing this morning but after a while I ran out of worms.

Then I saw a cottonmouth snake with a frog in his mouth, and frogs are good bass bait.

Knowing the snake couldn't bite me with the frog in his mouth, I grabbed him right behind the head, took the frog and put it in my bait bucket.

Now the dilemma was how to release the snake without getting bit.

I grabbed my bottle of Jack Daniels and poured a little whiskey in its mouth.

His eyes rolled back, he went limp, I released him into the lake without incident, And carried on my fishing with the frog.

A little later I felt a nudge on my foot.

There was that same snake with two frogs in his mouth.

स्वार्थी कहूं या संत तुम्हें...


क्योंकि स्वार्थी हो गये थे तुम...
अपने में ईश्वर को भी नहीं पहचान पाये तुम !
तुम्हीं तो थे जो साथ लिए मुझे..
मंदिर में जाया करते
ईश्वर को सच्चे प्यार का विश्वास दिलाया करते
तब...तब मैं भाव विभोर हो देखा करती तुम्हें...
कितने लीन होकर तुम उस परम पिता को
साक्षी बना रहे थे अपने प्यार का !
और हाँ..... वह साक्षी बना भी
हर बार की तरह वह मुस्कराकर
आशीर्वाद देता भी।
तुम कितने निश्पाप मन से
ईश्वर से मुझको मांगा करते
तब उस वक्त मैं तुम्हारी आंखों में प्रेम की
निर्मल धारा बहते देखती और...
उतर जाती उस ईश्वर की प्यास में
चली जाती तुम्हारे साथ उस ईश्वर की आस में
ईश्वर को छलते तुम या मुझको छलते ?
मै तो ईश्वर को पा रही थी तुम्हारे साथ चलते !
बैखौफ़ सी उन पगडंडियों में चली जा रही थी मैं
जिनके सपने तुम दिखा रहे थे मुझे
सपनों की दुनिया में उड़ रही थी बिन पंख लगाये
द‍ृष्टा बनना था मुझे...बन गयी द‍ृष्टिहीन
छोड आये तुम मुझे उस अन्तहीन छोर पर
जहां से आगे न मंजिल थी न कोई डगर
अब...अब तो मैं हूं अकेली
पथराई पहेली सी..
लौट आई फ़िर वहीं...
जहां छला जाना ही औरत की नियति है
लेकिन जानती है.....फिर भी चलना जानती है
प्यार में ठोकर मिले तो क्या ?
प्यार में कुछ क्षण ईश्वर को तो पा ही लेती है !
तुम्हें नहीं आया ईश्वर को पाना तो क्या....
ये तुम्हारी बदनसीबी है
आज तुम मुझसे प्यार करने की गलती का प्रायश्चित कर रहे हो
और मैं...तप्त...शांत...गहरी झील सी..
औरत की तरह प्यार करके तो देखो....
ईश्वर को सच्चा मान कर तो देखो....
वह महसूस कराता है
अपने को तुम्हारे भीतर रहकर!
अब दर्द नहीं कोई गिला नहीं
न छले जाने का कोई दुख !
....फ़िर भी तुम्हारी शुक्रगुजार हूं मैं
क्योंकि किसी एक क्षण में जब मैं ईश्वर में थी...
उस तक पहुंचने का माध्यम तुम्हीं तो थे !
हां तुम्हीं...!
ऋणी रहूंगी तुम्हारी उस एक पल के लिए
जब ईश्वर का साक्षात्कार हुआ.....
और उस कान्हा से प्यार हुआ.......
सुना है संत ही ईश्वर के दर्शन कराते हैं....
उस तक पहुंचने का रास्ता बताते हैं...
तुम्हीं कहो उस तक पहुंचने के लिए
स्वार्थी कहूं या संत तुम्हें....?

कुछ पल जिन्दगी जैसे... विडम्बना


 

कुछ पल जिन्दगी जैसे , जिंदगी के ही दामन से चुरा लिए मैंने । उन्ही जीवंत पलों को शब्दों मे पिरो कर पेश कर रहा हूँ । ये महफ़िल है मेरे दिल की , यहाँ कुछ गीत मिलेंगे सुर छेड़ते हुए , कुछ गज़लें होंगी हाथों मे जाम लिए , कुछ कवितायेँ भी मिलेंगी गहरी आँखों वाली , कुछ किस्से कुछ किरदार , इनमे से कुछ भी अगर आपके दिल को छू पाये तो खुशकिस्मत समझूंगा अपने आप को ....

जिन्दगी

बहुत सालों पहले जिन्दगी को समझने की एक कोशिश में मिली थी ये ग़ज़ल ... पेश ए नज़र है यारों ।

दर्द की एक दास्ताँ है जिन्दगी,
मौत का ही तो आइना है जिन्दगी ।

सच की पथरीली जमी पर,
झूठ का एक आसमा है जिन्दगी ।

दोस्तो से अजनबी और,
दुश्मनों से आशना है जिन्दगी ।

वक़्त बहता पानी है और,
बूँद का एक बुलबुला है जिन्दगी ।

हर कदम अंधा सफ़र है,
हादसों का सिलसिला है जिन्दगी ।
 

विडम्बना

डरी सहमी ऑंखें,
चेहरे पर हताशा,
तन पर कपड़े नदारद,
घुटनों को छाती से चिपकाये,
बेडियों में जकड़ी काया,
शून्य को घूरती हुई,
कहीं कुछ ढूँढती है शायद,
निश्ब्द्ता में भी है कोलाहल,
ह्रदय में जारी है उम्र की कवायद,
मगज एक मरघट हो जैसे,
कुछ चिताएँ जल रहीं हैं,
कुछ लाशें सडी हुई सीं,
पडी हुईं हैं, जिन पर,
भिनभिनाती है मक्खियाँ,
जैसे - कुछ अनसुलझी गुत्थियाँ,
कुछ अनुत्तरित सवालों का समूह्गान जैसे,
कैसी विडम्बना है ये,
आखिर हम मुक्त क्यों नही हो पाते...???

धूप ही क्यों धूप ही क्यों छांव भी दो

धूप ही क्यों धूप ही क्यों छांव भी दो
पंथ ही क्यों पांव भी दो
सफर लम्बी हो गई अब, ठहरने को गांव भी दो ।

प्यास ही क्यों नीर भी
दो धार ही क्यों तीर भी दो
जी रही पुरुषार्थ कब से, अब मुझे तकदीर भी दो ।

पीर ही क्यों प्रीत भी दो
हार ही क्यों जीत भी दो
शुन्य में खोए बहुत अब, चेतना को गीत भी दो ।

ग्रन्थ ही क्यों ज्ञान भी दो
ज्ञान ही क्यों ध्यान भी दो

तुम हमारी अस्मिता को,
अब निजी पहचान भी दो ।




तुम हमारी अस्मिता को, अब निजी पहचान भी दो ।

GM.....+ tve talk

Robert De Vincenzo, the great Argentine golfer, once won a tournament
and, after receiving the check and
smiling for the cameras, he went to the clubhouse and prepared to
leave. Some time later, he walked alone to
his car in the parking lot and was approached by a young woman.

She congratulated him on his victory and then told him that her child
was seriously ill and near death.
She did not know how she could pay the doctor's bills and hospital expenses.

De Vincenzo was touched by her story, and he took out a pen and
endorsed his winning check for payment to
the woman. "Make some good days for the baby," he said as he pressed
the check into her hand.

The next week he was having lunch in a country club when a
Professional Golf Association official came to
his table. "Some of the boys in the parking lot last week told me you
met a young woman there after you won
that tournament." De Vincenzo nodded.

"Well," said the official, "I have news for you. She's a phony. She
has no sick baby. She's not even married. She fleeced you, my
friend."

"You mean there is no baby who is dying?" said De Vincenzo.

"That's right," said the official.

"That's the best good news I've heard all week." De Vincenzo said.

Harivansh Rai Bachchan

Harivanshrai "Bachchan" Srivastava (November 27, 1907 – January 18,
2003) was a distinguished Hindi poet, perhaps best known for his early
work Madhushala . He is also the father of Bollywood film superstar,
Amitabh Bachchan.

Life
He was born as Harivanshrai Srivastava into a Kayasth family on
November 27, 1907 at a small town (of Patti, in district of
Pratapgarh,U.P.) near Allahabad in the United Provinces (modern Uttar
Pradesh). He was called "bachchan" (meaning 'child') at home. He
received his formal schooling in a municipal school and followed the
family tradition of attending Kayasth Paathshaalas (?????? ???????) to
learn Urdu as the first step to a career in law. He later studied at
the Allahabad University and Banaras Hindu University. In this period,
he came under the influence of the independence movement, then under
the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi.

In 1926, at the age of 19, Bachchan married his first wife, Shyama,
who was then 14 years old. However she died ten years later in 1936
after a long spell of TB at just 24 years of age. Shortly after his
first wife's death, Bachchan married Teji Suri, a Sikh, in 1941. The
marriage produced two sons, Amitabh and Ajitabh.

From 1941 to 1952 he taught English at the Allahabad University and
then spent two years at Cambridge University in St Catharine's
College, Cambridge. There he studied with the famous English
literature don, Thomas Rice Henn, and received a doctorate in English
Literature for his work on the Irish poet W.B. Yeats. It was then,
that he used 'Bachchan' as his last name instead of Srivastav.
Bachchan was the second Indian to get his doctorate in English
literature from Cambridge University.

Returning to India, he taught briefly and then worked as a producer
for All India Radio, Allahabad. In 1955, Harivanshrai moved to Delhi
to join the Ministry of External Affairs of the Government of India
and there he was closely involved with the evolution of Hindi as the
official language of the nation.

Bachchan used to introduce himself as Mitti ka tan, masti ka man,
kshan-bhar jivan ? mera parichay. (?????? ?? ??, ????? ?? ??, ???? ??
????, ???? ?????) (A body of clay, a mind full of play, a moment?s
life – that is me).

Harivanshrai Bachchan died on January 18, 2003, at the age of 95, as a
result of various respiratory ailments.
Work
He is best known for his early lyric poem Madhushala (The House of
Wine), which has been translated into English and many regional Indian
languages including Bengali, Marathi and Malayalam. It forms part of a
trilogy, along with Madhubala (???????) and Madhukalash (??????).
Bachchan published about 30 volumes of poetry. He translated
Shakespeare's Macbeth and Othello, Omar Khayyam's Rubaiyat, the
Bhagavad Gita (???? ????) and W.B. Yeats into Hindi. His works include
Nisha Nimantran (???? ????????), Khadi Ke Phool (???? ?? ???), Ekant
Sangeet (????? ?????) and Satrangini (????????). In November, 1984, he
wrote his last poem Ek November 1984 on Indira Gandhi?s assassination.
His autobiography, consisting of four volumes namely Kya bhooloon kya
yaad karoon (???? ????? ???? ??? ????), Need ka nirmaan fir (???? ??
??????? ???), Basere se door (????? ?? ???) and Dashdwaar se sopaan
tak (??????? ?? ????? ??) (abridged and translated into English as In
the Afternoon of Time) was chosen for the Saraswati Samman.
Honors
Bachchan was nominated to the Rajya Sabha, the Upper House of the
Indian Parliament in 1966, and received the Sahitya Akademi award
three years later. In 1976, he was honoured with the Padma Bhushan and
the Saraswati Samman for his contribution to Hindi literature. He is a
recipient of the Soviet Land Nehru Award and the Lotus Award of the
Afro-Asian writers conference. In 2003, an Indian postage stamp was
released in his memory.
Trivia
At present, more people may know Bachchan as being father to India's
best-known film actor, Amitabh Bachchan, than know his reputation as a
poet.
The creator of the great collection 'Madhushala ' is often thought to
be a great admirer of wonder solutions himself. It is wrongly believed
that the creator of one of the most famous poems on wine (Madhushala)
never drank liquor. In reality, he had never drank liquor till the
time he completed Madhushala. He did drink, although sparingly, later
in his life, a fact that he admits to in his autobiography.
One of his inspirational poems, "agneepath" was used as the title and
the theme for the 1991 blockbuster movie Agneepath (translates: path
of fire) featuring his superstar son Amitabh Bachchan as a ruthless
mafia don. This movie was a massive success earning Amitabh Bachchan a
National Award for his performance. You can see Amitabh narrating the
poem through out the movie.
The poem describes the entire gamut of sufferings that the human race
had gone through and is going through.

Here is the actual poem :

Vriksh ho bhale ghane, ho ghane ho bade, Ek pat chhav ki mang mat,
mang mat, Agneepath Agneepath Agneepath.

Tu na thakega kabhi, tu na thamega kabhi, tu na mudega kabhi, Kar
shapath, kar shapath, kar shapath, Agneepath, Agneepath, Agneepath.

Ye mahaan drishya hai, chal raha manushya hai, Ashru swed raqt se
lathpath, lathpath, lathpath, Agneepath, Agneepath, Agneepath.
Bollywood star Abhishek Bachchan, grandson of Harivansh Rai Bachchan,
was married to Aishwarya Rai April 20th, 2007. One of Harivansh Rai
Bachchan poems regarding new beginnings was enclosed in the wedding
invitations.

17 Principles of Personal Achievement by Napoleon Hill

For most of his life, Napoleon Hill lived with the conviction that every failure carried with it the seed of equivalent advantage. Here are his 17 principles for extraordinary achievement.

Lesson 1: Definiteness of Purpose
Definiteness of purpose is the starting point of all achievement. Without a purpose and a plan, people drift aimlessly through life.

Lesson 2: Mastermind Alliance
The Mastermind principle consists of an alliance of two or more minds working in perfect harmony for the attainment of a common definite objective. Success does not come without the cooperation of others.

Lesson 3: Applied Faith
Faith is a state of mind through which your aims, desires, plans and purposes may be translated into their physical or financial equivalent.

Lesson 4: Going the Extra Mile
Going the extra mile is the action of rendering more and better service than that for which you are presently paid. When you go the extra mile, the Law of Compensation comes into play.

Lesson 5: Pleasing Personality
Personality is the sum total of one's mental, spiritual and physical traits and habits that distinguish one from all others. It is the factor that determines whether one is liked or disliked by others.

Lesson 6: Personal Initiative
Personal initiative is the power that inspires the completion of that which one begins. It is the power that starts all action. No person is free until he learns to do his own thinking and gains the courage to act on his own.

Lesson 7: Positive Mental Attitude
Positive mental attitude is the right mental attitude in all circumstances. Success attracts more success while failure attracts more failure.

Lesson 8: Enthusiasm
Enthusiasm is faith in action. It is the intense emotion known as burning desire. It comes from within, although it radiates outwardly in the expression of one's voice and countenance.

Lesson 9: Self-Discipline
Self-discipline begins with the mastery of thought. If you do not control your thoughts, you cannot control your needs. Self-discipline calls for a balancing of the emotions of your heart with the reasoning faculty of your head.

Lesson 10: Accurate Thinking
The power of thought is the most dangerous or the most beneficial power available to man, depending on how it is used.

Lesson 11: Controlled Attention
Controlled attention leads to mastery in any type of human endeavor, because it enables one to focus the powers of his mind upon the attainment of a definite objective and to keep it so directed at will.

Lesson 12: Teamwork
Teamwork is harmonious cooperation that is willing, voluntary and free. Whenever the spirit of teamwork is the dominating influence in business or industry, success is inevitable. Harmonious cooperation is a priceless asset that you can acquire in proportion to your giving.

Lesson 13: Adversity & Defeat
Individual success usually is in exact proportion of the scope of the defeat the individual has experienced and mastered. Many so-called failures represent only a temporary defeat that may prove to be a blessing in disguise.

Lesson 14: Creative Vision
Creative vision is developed by the free and fearless use of one's imagination. It is not a miraculous quality with which one is gifted or is not gifted at birth.

Lesson 15: Health
Sound health begins with a sound health consciousness, just as financial success begins with a prosperity consciousness.

Lesson 16: Budgeting Time & Money
Time and money are precious resources, and few people striving for success ever believe they possess either one in excess.

Lesson 17: Habits
Developing and establishing positive habits leads to peace of mind, health and financial security. You are where you are because of your established habits and thoughts and deeds.

—Napoleon Hill
