Analyze Problems
One fine day, a bus driver went to the bus garage, started his bus, and drove off along the route. No problems for the first few stops-a few people got on, a few got off, and things went generally well.
At the next stop, however, a big hulk of a guy got on. Six feet eight, built like a wrestler, arms hanging down to the ground. He glared at the driver and said, "Big John doesn't pay!" and sat down at the back.
Did I mention that the driver was five feet three, thin, and basically meek? Well, he was. Naturally, he didn't argue with Big John, but he wasn't happy about it.
The next day the same thing happened-Big John got on again, made a show of refusing to pay, and sat down. And the next day, and the one after that, and so forth. This grated on the bus driver, who started losing sleep over the way Big John was taking advantage of him.
Finally he could stand it no longer. H e signed up for body building courses, karate, judo, and all that good stuff. By the end of the summer, he had become quite strong; what's more, he felt really good about himself.
So on the next Monday, when Big John once again got on the bus and said, "Big John doesn't pay!," the driver stood up, glared back at the passenger, and screamed, "And why not?"
With a surprised look on his face, Big John replied, "Big John has a bus pass."
Moral of the story:Be sure there is a problem in the first place before working hard to solve one.

Best Joke
This particular joke won an award for the best joke in a competition organized in Britain and this joke was sent by an Indian......
A MBA and an Engineer go on a camping trip, set up their tent,and fell asleep.
Some hours later, the Engineer wakes his MBA friend. "Look up at the sky and tell me what you see."
The MBA replies, "I see millions of stars."The Engineer asks "What does that tell you?"
The MBA ponders for a minute :
"Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo.Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three.Theologically, it's evident the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant.Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.
What does it tell you?"
The Engineer friend is silent for a moment, then speaks.
"Practically...Someone has stolen our tent".

Things of Wonder
I came across one interesting website about illusions. It was really a beautiful work on how your vision deceives you, and when you concetrate how your brain perceives the images. The explanation on the website for each illusion is very interesting.

All About:
My Priorities:
I give utmost importance to my family, next good friends. I feel that these two entities in life are most vital and sensitive and any individual should always keep this in mind all the time.As far as my career is concerned, I am working as Web Developer in Dubai and wish to continue in the same field and reach the max I can.
My Hobbies:
I like to read and watch tech and knowledge based articles and shows. I wish to utilize my time in the most productive way, as a result I end up doing things which give me knowledge, understanding people which helps in maintaining good relations, reading, spending time with loved ones, it can be family or friends...I try to find enjoyment and joy in whatever I do.
My Philosophy:
Don't get disappointed in whatever you do, but do it with commitment. By any chance, if you fail in what you do, try to analyze, find the good part and keep the bad as experience. That good part keeps you away from disappointment resulting in confidence and positive attitude and looking into new horizons for future growth.
My Beliefs:
I am unable to answer myself whether I believe in the existence of GOD, but frankly speaking, if one believes that there is someone who is more supreme and powerful than you and is controlling everything, and things happen to go smoothly with his thoughts, one happens to lead a good life with his fear or by ones own nature, I don’t think there is nothing wrong in believing "there is something that is not reached by your knowledge and wisdom, and reminds you that you are nothing more than a normal human being and not in control of your destiny."
My Culture:
I feel Hinduism is a culture rather than a religion and I follow Hindu culture. I have utmost respect for life, family values, relations, but what I don’t like is emotional blackmail using relations. I respect ladies from the core of my heart because I feel that they are the "chosen ones" to run the human race and where as we are just contributors in the job.

Behavioural Science:
Is the study that examines individual characteristics and intelligence and how these factors influence individuals behaviour, while also exploring the impact of group, organisational and cultural factors. The aim is to create an integrative theory, drawing on the results of medical science, psychology, sociology, anthropology, neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, biology and even political science. It examines the laws and possibilities for the development of human behaviour in a system and interdisciplinary approach, focusing on the process of the human-environment interaction. This field of science came into being as the synthesis of a number of disciplines and thus, while it emphasizes the common features, each area has its own methodology and traditions. It is not identical with ethology which deals principally with animal behaviour, or with behaviourism which is a trend in psychology.
