Be happy always!!


Hello friends,

Be Happy, its one way of being wise
...We often find a number of quotations on happiness everywhere...

But at times we feel, its so easy to say to be happy but its really difficult to be happy..We really feel so irritated when someone comes to us and say try to be happy when our mood is off or we are in some mess.. at times we also say to them "Yaar apna gyan band karo" or "yeh gyan kahi aur ja ke do"..Or we simply follow the principle of listening from one ear and taking it out from other... "How can someone be happy all the time?", this is the question which always comes in our mind..
At manier times, when we really enjoy and have lots and lots of fun, we often think "we had so much of fun now something bad is about to happen"...And the next moment something bad happens...There are a number of such incidents in our life..

Another question which comes in our mind is "What exactly is this happiness??" Why everyone speaks so much about it??

I was also searching for the answer to this question...I have been through a number of inspirational books..There also i always find this gyan only that just by being happy we can solve all the problems of our life..Then somewhere its said to observe my day and find out in whole day how much time out of 24 hours we were happy and enjoyed the time especially when we are sad...And believe me it was miracle..when i started thinking about the time i was happy my that time also rejoiced with those memories...And i was again back to the same state of happiness..Then I realised one thing whenever we have smile on our face that is happiness..Take any moment of your life when u really felt u were happy u ll definately see yourself smiling...Smiling not only on your face but also inside your heart..Thats why we often find smiling faces or smilyes added with the happiness quotation..

This has helped me in realising one thing, its so easy to be Happy in our life...:) Just by smiling... :) Because that is the state of happiness and we can have this state at any time and everytime...

whooo i m smiling now.. :) hope a smile comes on your face after reading this...

Keep smiling and be Happy always... :) Hope it doesnt sounds like a gyan anymore... :) ha ha ha....

Recession, a new ray of hope....




Hello friends,

We all are facing the recession from last one year which has resulted in loses to everyone from layoffs in companies to reduction in salaries to bankruptcy of companies to high economic loses in stocks to increase in unemployment etc. etc...However it is not new it always comes back after a period of time like a wave comes down after a uprising...Depressions, recessions, slumping economies. These economic conditions are nothing new. For ages, economic times have had an ebb and flow cycle.

Whenever i read anything on recession i always find one thing common..That is recession is the best time to start something new...It marks a new ray of hope for those who can really think beyond their limits and can thereby extend their limits by working on them..

There have been a numerous examples of those who found this new ray of hope..Some of them are Microsoft Corp. in 1975,Hyatt Corp. in 1957-58, Trader Joe’s in 1967, General Electric in 1873,Revlon Cosmetics in 1932,Fortune Magazine in 1930, Hewlett-Packard in 1939, Burger King in 1954, Sports Illustrated magazine in 1954, IHOP Restaurants in 1958, The Jim Henson Company in 1958, FedEx in 1973, CNN in 1980 and MTV in 1981.. These well-known companies are fine examples that there is hope and success if you believe in your product and yourself. Few stories are:

1. Microsoft Corp.

Not only was this computer technology conglomerate founded in tough economic times of 1975, its founder, Bill Gates, was a Harvard University dropout. But with all its adversities, it has flourished to a billion dollar company.

2. Hyatt Corp.

You might think it risky opening up upscale hotels during a time when people were less likely to travel and vacation. But that’s exactly what this hotel chain did from 1957 to 1958 during recessionary times under President Eisenhower.

3. Trader Joe’s.

When this famous grocery store opened its doors as Pronto Markets during the economic slump of 1958, it was an instant success. The Trader Joe name change in 1967 was the start of its new branding image of offering unique products under its own label.

4. General Electric.

GE is probably one of the first companies to make history by getting started during the economic recession of 1873. Although the tough economic times lasted for six years, the incandescent lightbulb created by Thomas Edison continues to shine 136 years later. Today, GE is the 10th largest company in the world.

5. Revlon Cosmetics.

Founded in 1932 deep in the years of the Great Depression, Charles and Joseph Revlon unveiled their new opaque nail enamel. Tapping all their resources, the brothers grew their company into a multimillion dollar enterprise within six years.

I feel its really inspiring and it provides a new direction for "where we see ourselves in coming 5 to 10 years or later"...I think everyone is born with an entrepreneurial heart and develops and entrepreneurial mind as he/she grows up..What is really needed is the realization of this fact...I know there are a number of stories of the people who have realized it and attained success..May God help all of us also in creating such stories :) AMEN!!

Please add your comments what you feel about it...

My encounter with THE GOOGLE STORY..



Hello Friends,

Last month I was traveling, going to Chennai alone so wanted a book to company me in my journey as it was a long journey of 30 hours.. So I went to a book stall on railway station. I was looking thru all the books available...'THE GOOGLE STORY' was lying in front. I wanted to buy it but didnt felt like as it was quite thick around 400 pages.... So was looking for all the other options.Sidney sheldon,Paulo Cohelo and other love stories and mysteries and all..Bookstall man showed me everything but my mind was again n again gt attracted towards GOOGLE Story.. Finally I made up my mind and bought it. And then my journey began with the Google founders...I really enjoyed my journey with them and my time just passed away...It was really fascinating and at times i really wished to be a part of Google..

The best thing about Google Inc. is their woking culture...Their working place is facilitated with everything from a good Food to entertainment to gym to everything which makes a person feel at home..Google founders believed in providing home like culture so that the people who are working there can give their best in everything without wandering their mind in other tensions of food and all..They especially focused on Food and had a big team of good cooks o serve all the varieties at on place..Which are at times not possible in the market also...

They build up their own hardware and software and download all the possible things available over the web..wooooooooooooooh..Its hard to imagine their infrastructure and the components available dere...The two Big Brains Larry Page and Sergey Brin although with different opinions have one thing in common and thats their zeal to achieve...How the things turned out in their life and the way they took each moment as an oppurtunity to expand and excel is really inspiring.. They are true inspirers for us and coming generations...

They started with the aim to serve...They never advertise for them but they had become a source for advertisements to many others...And this has helped them in becoming one of the fortune comapny in the world.. Their encounter with Yahoo and Microsft was also very interesting to read...Each chapter took to different parts of the Google makers and really enjoyable...A Must Read for everyone..

This book not only gave me a nice company during my journey but also taught me the realities of corporate life and inspired me how a belief in oneself and strong determination can lead towards success...

Vodafone Zoozoos...





Zoozoo is the name given to these characters used by VODAFONE in their new Advertisement Campaign.

They are launched with the starting of IPL 2009 season and each over was followed by these zoozoos world which covered everything from love tips to cricket updates, to shopping to roaming, to mailing to travelling etc conveying the different value added services offered by Vodafone..Very beautifully designed and executed... Vodafone is always famous for their Ad Campaign previous was related to shweet PUGS CHITIKAS..

Few days back my dad told me the beauty of these zoozoos.. They aren’t animated characters... They are human beings who were made to wear body suits and are shot lively...I was really surprised to hear him bcos they always gave me impression of animated characters. Then one day i got a mail stating Vodafon ZooZoos won PETA awards..This really attracted me and I felt like googling and knowing more about them...

Filmmaker, Nirvana Films, has directed the commercials, and reveals that the Zoozoos were a big challenge to create. The practical aspects of how they will move, talk, gesticulate and emote were very important. Essentially, costume design and artwork were crucial elements. “It took me three weeks of pre-production to understand how it will work,” says Varma. There were two fabrics that were considered for the body suits, and one was rejected for it had too many wrinkles and was shiny. The wrinkles would have shown when the characters moved, thereby shattering the illusion of animation. “So we chose the more practical, thicker fabric,” Varma explains. The production team divided the outfit into two parts: the body and the head. The body part of the outfit was stuffed with foam in some places, while the head was attached separately. To make it look bigger than a human head, a harder material called Perspex was used, which in turn was stuffed with foam (with scope for ventilation). If one wishes to understand the size of this head, here’s a fact: a human head would typically reach up to the mouth level of this giant Zoozoo head. “We kept the hands and legs thin, which is why we cast women – and occasionally children – wearing the costumes,” says Varma. The thin limbs, contrasted with big bellies and a bulbous head, all add to the illusion that these creatures are ‘smaller’ than humans. Sets were created to suit the size of the Zoozoos. Concept Note: Zoozoos are not animated characters. They are human beings who were made to wear body suits. The films were shot by Nirvana in Cape Town, South Africa.

woooooooooooo...what a concept and work..HATS OFF!!

Really vodafone are best in their ad-campaign..And really a great time to launch..On survey revealed that Vodafone ads are among the most watched videos on You and there are over 50,000 Zoozoo fans on Facebook.Me TOO!!!!!

SMILEYS!! A true form of life..


Hello Friends,

Smiley or a Happy Face is a stylish representation of smiling human face by a yellow color circle(generally) with eyes and lips on them.

Smileys, although so small still add so much meaning to everything..They represent our feelings and expressions so well.We all often chat and mail our friends and love to add everywhere. They are becoming an important part of our life.They present us lively in front of others to whom we are talking online..They also refresh our mood and takes away all the dullness. We find smileys everywhere Posters, T-shirts, Caps, Cups, Cards, Stickers etc. They are so expressive that everyone loves to own them in everything. They are most commonly used with phrases like " KEEP SMILING" or "HAVE A HAPPY DAY".

The most commonly used smileys are :) and :( which clearly shows the two extreme moods of persons which keep flipping whole day. Although now a days we have smileys for all the different moods of a person.

The very earliest known examples of the graphic are attributed to Harvey Ball, a commercial artist in Worcester, Massachusetts with the aim to boost up the morale of the employees. It was further used in 1963, in a children cartoon series titled The Funny Company airing on television, which featured a version of the smiley on the caps worn by the animated children.

The graphic was popularized in the early 1970s by Bernard and Murray Spain, who seized upon it in a campaign to sell novelty items. The two produced buttons as well as coffee mugs, T-shirts, bumper stickers and many other items emblazoned with the symbol and the phrase "Have a happy day"

Today we can find thousands and thousands of smileys all over the web offered by different sites. Through their discovery we can realize the diverse moods and expressions of human beings.

Smileys are my personal favorite and I love to add smileys to my signature many times. They have always helped me in my gloomy days and happy days. They have always inspired me to keep smiling in every situation and winning them :)
