Power of holding hands
2007-06-22 16:42:00 I was sitting on a beach one summer day , watching two children , a boy and a girl,playing in the sand. They were hard at work building an elaborate sandcastle by the water's edge, with gates and towers and moats and internal passages. Just when they had nearly finishedtheir project, a big wave came along and knocked it down, reducing it to a heap of wet sand. I expected the children to burst into tears, devastated by what had happened to all their hardwork. But they surprised me. Instead, they ran up the shore away from the water, laughing and holding hands, and sat down to build another castle. I realised that they had taught me an important lesson. All the things in our lives , all the complicated structures we spent so much time and energycreating , are built on sand. Only our relationships to other people endure. Sooner or later , the wave will come along and knock down what we have worked so hard to build up. When that happens , only the person who has somebody's hand to hol...

SPIRITUAL INSPIRATION : GOD AND I
2007-06-22 16:41:00 I believe in the existence of God and I am God-fearing. The universe has originated due to some super power. In the wide ocean we are like a small drop. My faith in God has never been shaken. And I am grateful to him for the fame and success that I have today. I have never asked Him for anything, nor have I ever taken a mannat . Religion is an individual and private matter. If a few people sit down and discuss religion I feel that they will soon argue, but if they discuss humour they will laugh and enjoy themselves. Humour and laughter bind people. Humour dissolves arguments and builds a rapport. It dispels gloom. Laughter brings us closer to God. It transcends limitations and takes us deeper into reality. Love and laughter brings people closer to the Almighty I am thankful to Him for the sense of humour he has blessed me with. I believe that work is worship and for me humour is like a religion. I think it's important to look at life and at society with humour, because then we can ... More About: Inspiration , Spiritual

A love story
2007-06-22 16:39:00 Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings lived, Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge and all the others, including Love . One day it was announced to all of the feelings that the island was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean. So, all the feelings prepared their boats to leave. Love was the only one that stayed. She wanted to preserve the island paradise until the very last possible moment. When the island was almost totally under water, Love decided it was time to leave. She began looking for someone to ask for help. Just then Richness was passing by in a grand boat. Love asked, “Richness, can I come with you on your boat?” Richness answered, “I am sorry, but there is a lot of silver and gold on my boat and there would be no room for you anywhere” The Love decided to ask Vanity, who was passing in a beautiful vessel, for help.

The worldwide box office soared to a record $25.8
2007-06-18 20:16:00 It was a year of conquest in Hollywood. The worldwide box office soared to a record $25.8 billion, buoyed by global blockbusters like Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and Sony's Da Vinci Code.

Satellite's Sort-Of Double Play
2007-06-18 20:14:00 Satellite TV operators may have finally solved one of their biggest problems--the inability to package high-speed Internet service with their TV products. But will a deal to sell wireless broadband be enough to compete with cable giants and phone companies? DirecTV (nyse: DTV - news - people ) and EchoStar (nasdaq: DISH - news - people ) have announced a deal with upstart wireless broadband provider Clearwire (nasdaq: CLWR - news - people ) to resell its high-speed Internet service, and perhaps eventually its Internet phone service. As part of the deal, Clearwire will be able to market a bundled TV service to its broadband and Internet-phone service customers. The deal is a boost for the satellite companies, which can compete better with cable giants like Comcast (nasdaq: CMCSA - news - people ) and Time Warner Cable (nyse: TWC - news - people ) that sell cut-rate "triple-play" bundles of cable TV, high-speed Internet service and Internet phone service.

World's hottest Beautiful People are Indians!

No longer can Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie, Michelle Pfeiffer and co, be called the 'sexiest people alive'.

The magic of Aishwarya, the sexuality of Mallika and allure of SRK, Hrithik, Salman- indeed, the sexiest people alive are Indian tinsels' gods and goddesses. Indiatimes Movies says so! We did our own special research and online polling, and have decided that the world's 'hottest' come from the land of the Himalayas and the Ganges. If Aishwarya has already been introduced to the world by Oprah and Letterman as the worlds most beautiful- then the world still has to see our Rani and Bispasha. If SRK has been called 'Brad Pitt' of India by the Time magazine, then the voltage of Hrithik still has to be felt- Read on and see -the world's sexiest stars alive and decide.

Like Shart, this film too is inspired from the Hollywood flick Cruel Intentions. Shart was a disaster at the box office.

2007-06-14 16:15:00 click above image to view more spy pics of the 2009 Lincoln MKSThe spy photographers from KGP have been scoping out Lincoln MKS prototypes for a while, but this is the first time they've gotten close enough to get a clear view of the interior. The first thing we noticed is that the production interior retains many of the shapes, lines and styling cues from the interior of the Lincoln MKS Concept that debuted at the 2006 Detroit Auto Show. The center channel speaker atop the dash, the four large air vents, the metal trim accenting the sides of the center console are all examples of what Lincoln designers decided to port over directly from the concept. Whereas the concept's dash was awash entirely in buttery soft beige and brown leather, the production interior adds a wood accent bar that spans the width of the dashboard and is repeated on the steering wheel (and likely the door trim). It appears that the top of the production MKS dash, however, will still be covered in leat... More About: Breaking , Brea , Breakin
Hyundai's first consumer hybrid destined for Korea
More articles from this author:2007-06-14 16:13:00 Hyundai's initial foray into the consumer hybrid marketplace won't take place here in the US, nor will it use the gasoline/electric config that's become synonymous with the term, from a consumer's standpoint. Hyundai will introduce the car, a version of the Avante (Elantra here) in Kore a sometime in 2009.Instead of gasoline/electric, the Avante Hybrid will feature an LPG/electric setup in order to take advantage of the low price of Liquid Petroleum Gas in Korea (it's half the cost of the dino juice), and the fact that there's a working LPG infrastructure there already. They'll need government help to loosen up some regulations, because right now, LPG is reserved for rental cars and handicapped transport. The fact that Hyundai's moving forward with the plan is a pretty clear indicator that it expects the rules will be modified to allow regular citizens to purchase LPG-powered cars.When combined with the hybrid system, the Avante is expected to pull down fuel economy in ...
