When my kid was born and when we were in the hospital few days after delivery ,i was not allowed to put on fan..My mother was totally against it as she believed that it will create problems for my kid..My mom always used to give this reason-She may suffocate as she was there in incubator for 1 week and she may not be used to the same..
I am the person who can't sleep without having fan switched on..so how did i manage..i used to act like i am sleeping and when my mother sleeps i used to getup and switch on the fan :)hihi Once my mother gets her sleep ,she wont get up inbetween..so i got my fan on and mine as well as my kid's sleep was peaceful..
My kid also got addicted to fan that much that in winter also she loves to sleep with fan on and without any blanket:)So unknowingly i formed a habit for her..Whether its good or bad ..i donno
I love watching Hindi movies and hates malayalam movies ..but my hubbie hates watching hindi movies and loves malayalam movies..so how can i make my kid's liking similar to mine..I used to make her sit with me whenever i am watching a movie..and sometimes i tell her the story also..After few movies ,She also started a liking towards hindi movies as she can see good scenary and good songs with mast dances..
So now our likes match ..we both have similar tastes now may be its watching MAD ,hindi movies or doing craft activities..
Most of the things i did was against the ideas put down by elders..I am not saying that you should go against elders opinion what i mean was always hear the opinions and also experiment with your ideas and also ideas you got from doctor or knowledgeable people from your generation..Generation gaps..
Once you get a suitable solution ,use it dont blindly follow anything..
Lesson to be noted :-
1)If your likes and your kids likes match ,then you will have less problems:)
2)All our likes/dislikes are created by us and it doesn't even take much time to change it...You just have to try it with your own mind..
3)Nothing is impossible..Everything is possible..
4) Very easy to change kid's opinion so dont ever forget to set the right way from childhood onwards as it will surely affect later..dont allow your kid to discard some items because he /she didnt like..let them do everything and finally once they grow up,let them decide the path they want to choose as they would have already tasted both the paths and the good/bad about each..

What Is Freedom
According to me ,Freedom is do the activities which i like without having any guilt may be its learning new language ,quit working and start some buisness,learn salsa,Be a certified handwriting analyst or changing my profession to be a phsychologist
Freedom means doing things which i like and not to be bothered about others
Freedom means enjoying shopping without even feeling the guilt of hubby getting bored
Freedom means just do things without much thinking
Freedom means taking decisions which i like
Freedom means enjoy life as a kid not thinking much about the responsibilities
Freedom means telling my opinion openly without much thinking process in the background
Freedom is everything:)

Are You Ashamed About Your Disabilities
I had this topic in mind from past one week..Why are we ashamed about our disabilities? There may be some problem with us but does that mean that we are bad..NO NO and NO
One of my collegue had some treatment done to his teeth.He became very consious of the same that he started speaking in a different manner which surely pointed out his teeth problem..Actually he was trying to hide it..But instead everyone who talked to him got the info that he had some treatment done..
So was the acting worth..no..if he would have talked in the normal way.noone would have noticed..not only that why should you be ashamed..
In my case ,I will try to make fun of my disability before somebody could even comment..result..noone bothers to talk about it and finally they get so used to it:)
Dont ever ever worry about your abnormalities/disabilities..most of them you cant even change..So no point in worrying..

Facts On Buying a New Flat
I got this as a forward from one of my friend..I found this to be useful as the person who has written it has calculated the cost of buying a flat considering even the minor points.Useful for people who are planning to buy a flat..or is that useful for changing the idea of buying a flat to buying a plot and constructing house?
Mail Starts:
I am never the one to go out and buy a flat to live, simply because I am so used to living in an independent house. Living in a flat would strangle me no ends. At the same time, I am not the one to just buy it for an investment purpose, simply because I would then have to make do with the loan that accompanies it, which I find it to be just beyond my reach when it comes to repayment.
My good friend, wanting to buy a flat in B'lore to go and live, told me to look around for one. Trusting my calculation instincts, my friend also wanted me to make sure that it would work out to be a profitable venture. I got in touch with prominent builders and checked out some basic facts regarding the flats on offer. But I was literally amazed at the results. I also had to quiz the builder on some basic terms used it the construction of a building, as the whole thing was new to me. Here are some facts laid out for you:
Q. What will be the actual 'area of living' or carpet area if the builder proposes 1000 square feet?
>> The actual carpet area will be 800-850 square feet only. The common area is also included in the proposal.
Inference: If two flats are in the same floor, then the builder collects the amount for the carpet area from both the parties.
What is the cost for the Builder?
Suppose Builder X proposes a flat in a decent residential area.
Rate (Unit Price) - Rs. 3500 sft.
Registration - Rs. 40 per sft.
EB and drainage - Rs. 50,000
Covered Car park - Rs. 1,25,000
Corpus fund - Rs. 50000.
For a 1000 sq ft flat (850 sq ft carpet area), the approximate cost will be Rs.37,65,000. In the same plot area (measuring 2 grounds) let us consider that the builder would have constructed 10 flats.
Now,
Total sales for the builder - 37, 65,000 *10 = 3, 76, 50000 (3.76 crores)
Cost of the land - Rs. 40 laks per ground
1) Total cost of the land - Rs. 80 lakhs for two grounds -------------------------------A
Total builtup area for 10 flats - 10*1000 sft = 10,000 sft
Construction cost per sft (for normal specification) = Rs. 900 per sft
2) Total construction cost - 10,000 * 900 = Rs. 90,00,000 ---------------------------B
3) Other expenses for the builder - Rs. 20 per sft = Rs. 2,00,000 --------------------C
Total expenses for the builder = A+ B+C
= Rs. 80,00,000 + Rs.90,00,000 + Rs. 2,00,00 = Rs. 1,72,00,000 ( 1.72 crores approx)
Total Sales = Rs. 3.76 crores - Rs. 1.72 crores
Total profit of the builder = Rs. 2.04 crores.
What is the cost for each resident?
1. Cost of land = Divided share among the other 10 residents
= Rs. 80,00,000 / 10
= Rs. 8,00,000
2. Construction cost = Rs. 900 * 1000
= Rs. 9,00,000
3. Other expenses = Rs. 2,00,000 (approx)
Total = 8,00,000 + 9,00,000 + 2,00,000 = Rs. 19,00,000 ( Nineteen lakhs)
So the total share for each resident is Rs. 19,00,000 ( Nineteen lakhs only) – at the most 20 lakhs.
But what do you end up paying?
Hold your breath, it's a cool Rs. 37.5 lakhs for the flat.
Whats more, you can definitely not make a cash-down payment. So the only option is to go for a housing loan. For this, you are lured by banks and other lenders for cheaper home loans. But when you actually sit down and make the calculations, you will be astonished to note that you will actually end up paying double the amount at the end of the loan repayment period.
So before thinking of buying a new flat the next time, collect as much information as you can and then decide to buy one.

Mail sent by Narayan Murthy to all Infosys staff
This is a nice forwards which i got from one of my friend..Its too good..Read it
Mail sent by Narayan Murthy to all Infosys staff:
It's half past 8 in the office but the lights are still on...
PCs still running, coffee machines still buzzing...
And who's at work? Most of them ??? Take a closer look...
All or most specimens are ??
Something male species of the human race...
Look closer... again all or most of them are bachelors...
And why are they sitting late? Working hard? No way!!!
Any guesses???
Let's ask one of them...
Here's what he says... "What's there 2 do after going home...Here we get to surf, AC, phone, food, coffee that is why I am working late...Importantly no bossssssss!!!!!!!!!!!"
This is the scene in most research centers and software companies and other off-shore offices.
Bachelors "Time-passing" during late hours in the office just bcoz they say they've nothing else to do...
Now what r the consequences...
"Working" (for the record only) late hours soon becomes part of the institute or company culture.
With bosses more than eager to provide support to those "working" late in the form of taxi vouchers, food vouchers and of course good feedback, (oh, he's a hard worker... goes home only to change..!!).
They aren't helping things too...
To hell with bosses who don't understand the difference between "sitting" late and "working" late!!!
Very soon, the boss start expecting all employees to put in extra working hours.
So, My dear Bachelors let me tell you, life changes when u get married and start having a family... office is no longer a priority, family is... and
That's when the problem starts... b'coz u start having commitments at home too.
For your boss, the earlier "hardworking" guy suddenly seems to become a "early leaver" even if u leave an hour after regular time... after doing the same amount of work.
People leaving on time after doing their tasks for the day are labeled as work-shirkers...
Girls who thankfully always (its changing nowadays... though) leave on time are labeled as "not up to it". All the while, the bachelors pat their own backs and carry on "working" not realizing that they r spoiling the work culture at their own place and never realize that they wuld have to regret at one point of time.
So what's the moral of the story??
* Very clear, LEAVE ON TIME!!!
* Never put in extra time " unless really needed "
* Don't stay back un-necessarily and spoil your company work culture which will in turn cause inconvenience to you and your colleagues.
There are hundred other things to do in the evening..
Learn music...
Learn a foreign language...
Try a sport... TT, cricket.........
Importantly,get a girl friend or boy friend, take him/her around town...
* And for heaven's sake, net cafe rates have dropped to an all-time low (plus, no fire-walls) and try cooking for a change.
Take a tip from the Smirnoff ad: *"Life's calling, where are you??"*
Please pass on this message to all those colleagues and please do it before leaving time, don't stay back till midnight to forward this!!!
IT'S A TYPICAL INDIAN MENTALITY THAT WORKING FOR LONG HOURS MEANS VERY HARD WORKING & 100% COMMITMENT ETC.
PEOPLE WHO REGULARLY SIT LATE IN THE OFFICE DONT KNOW TO MANAGE THEIR TIME. SIMPLE !
Regards,
NARAYAN MURTHY.

Teaching the Value Of Money
Its very difficult to teach the new generation kids about the value of money.They feel that money will be available to them for everything..whenever they need something ,we never bother to think whether its useful ..we just buy it..
That was not the case when i was kid..i never had anything which my kid is owning today at this age..so much of Gneration Gap..i think IT is changing our complete style of living..
My kids school started a new way to teach the value of money to kids..They had a habba where they were displaying the items made by the kids using recyclable items like news paper,used bottels etc..Every kid in the Playgroup was given 1 Rupee coin and asked to go and buy atleast 4 items from the habba by paying the money they had..Not only kids had a choice to select what they wanted ,they also knoew that they had to pay if they need something from shop..
You cant imagine the happiness in my kids face when she bought all the items - (piggy bank in the shape of bus,2 small flower pots made of clay,one carry bag,one more iteam)home.She was explaining me about why she picked up only these items from the entire lot..she told me that one of her friend picked up bangles and when i asked her the reason for not picking up bangles for her ,she told me she has enough bangles at home and she doesnt require any more..wah great ..i was very happy to hear her reply..
New generation kids think so independently and i feel they are more brilliant than us..every generation gets minimum of 25% brilliance etc:)

My latest addiction - Rahul Bose & Konkana sen
After seeing some movies of Rahul Bose mainly -Mr & Mrs Iyer & Chameli ,i have become a great fan of him.Ya sure he is not a choclate hero but he looks really handsome and the way he acts is entirely different from anyone else on the screen..
Konkana is also very beautiful lady with a good talent..i love her in Mr & Mrs Iyer and Life in a Metro ..She looks entirely different in both the movies..great talent..
I am looking forward to see other movies where these two acted..They have a nice chemistry on the screen..There is a really nice scene in Mrs & Mr Iyer where they both were in love for a moment..It was really really touching..

Team Outing At Guhantara - A Cave Resort
Finally after lots of planning we decided to go for an one day outing,,but where to go ..we had two options ..one for one day outing .other for two days..two days is not at all possible with the fund allocated to the team..so finally decided to visit Guhantara which is an underground resort at Kanakpura Road..
ahaha we could see sunlight pouring in...We were greeting by
Mr.Deepak & Dileep who were taking care of our team for the day..We had arranged for breakfast..All were so hungry that we just went directly for breakfast ..they were serving plates made of clay:) ..Menu was good ..Poori +Bread + Idli + Vada+ Boiled Egg ..what else..you have so much of variety to choose from..I had Poori + Boiled Egg + Bread..very good..
Where can i wash my hands..i couldnt see any wash basin nearby..finally one guy told me to
move to right side where i could find a small wooden piece ..but where is the wash basin..That guy came back again and showed me how to wash my hands:) There was an automatic senser installed inside thewood.. I havent seen such a nice basin in my life:) coollll
Once my hunger is over ,I started looking around i could see a pool with rocks in the background..
Also one main hall where one side is the restaurant other end is a seating arrangement + shelf for keeping our valuables other end is madhu shala without madhu:)they didnt get a license yet..Thats it..nothing else??
Details of Guhanatara:
We booked for 22 seater Swaraj Mazda eventhough we were 23 in number....Mornng i got a call from one of guys saying that he wont be coming with us in the instead he will use his private vehicle..great..so no more issues related to seat..22 seater for 22 members..I reached office by 7.30 am and called the driver to confirm ..he was already on his way to our office..I gave hime the map to Guhantara and detailed him about the routes..:) Now you will be thinking why i am taking so much pains??Myself and Sreeja(name changed) are the coordinators of the tour..we booked the Bus + resort:)
All reached on time by 8.15 in the morning at our office.. I didnt expect all the guys to be on time..Ohh forgot to mention ..there were only 3 ladies in the group Myself,Sreeja and our HR..Everyone came at 8.15 except Sreeja..Finally after so many calls she arrived and went inside the office ..later came out after 5 to 10 mts ..may be for for make -up:) I am not confirming it though...:)
One person from our US office was also coming along..He is very tall..when i saw the bus i was bit doubtful whether he could fit in properly..somehow he managed to sit for our 1 1/2 hr journey..
Till Kanakpura it was a cool ride after taht we were going through village roads/not tared..but every 5 mts we were able to locate sign boards to Guhantara..finally after 1/2 an hour ,we reached Guhantara..
From outside it just looked like a vacant plot full of greenary..where is the cave?? we entered the main gate ..there i 
could see a wooden piece where you can find all types of animals/ reptiles/ birds ..one piece of wood and so much to see..OH so we entered a nice place:) We were asked to move to our right side where we could see a cave enough for us to move around..we wfor nearly 5 mts in the dim light and reached the other end which is the main resort..

Mr.Deepak & Dileep who were taking care of our team for the day..We had arranged for breakfast..All were so hungry that we just went directly for breakfast ..they were serving plates made of clay:) ..Menu was good ..Poori +Bread + Idli + Vada+ Boiled Egg ..what else..you have so much of variety to choose from..I had Poori + Boiled Egg + Bread..very good..Where can i wash my hands..i couldnt see any wash basin nearby..finally one guy told me to
move to right side where i could find a small wooden piece ..but where is the wash basin..That guy came back again and showed me how to wash my hands:) There was an automatic senser installed inside thewood.. I havent seen such a nice basin in my life:) coollllOnce my hunger is over ,I started looking around i could see a pool with rocks in the background..
Also one main hall where one side is the restaurant other end is a seating arrangement + shelf for keeping our valuables other end is madhu shala without madhu:)they didnt get a license yet..Thats it..nothing else??
After breakfast we went for beach volley ball..no beach..but volley ball ..+ same ground was used for playing cricket + badminton..They served us coffee + cookies over there + ofcourse cold water..and music was playing in the background...
Some of us went inside to play snooker & carroms ....while going inside we found one more entrance to the resort..so many entrances through tunnel:)
At about 12.00 Dileep called us to mention about rain dance...it has to be done at a particular time..so all had to join in...we were aked to stand in the main hall..but no rain..waited for 5 mts and rain started pouring in...at first few were dancing...finally everyone was in the dance floor..everyone enjoyed it..
Some went to pool ..Overall it was good:) It was time for lunch...Lunch menu was also good...veg + nonveg..good..but i didnt like that much..but surely food is not bad..most of them liked it...now what to do tunnel trekking??
Went for tunnel trekking just to find out that there is not much tunnel for us to trek..atleast rock clibing..but no way..rock is not ready yet as the resort started only 2 months back..okay now what to do..everyone went on for playing different games as we had panned for leaving the resort by 6.00..Inbetween we wereserved beer + soft drinks...Alu bonda was also served as a snack ..it was good..
I learned to play snooker & Table tennis as i didnt have any other option over there..also played chess with my friend..At about 5.30 ,i asked Alex for settling the bills..It came around bithigher than the expected value but it was worth paying...
Bye Bye Guhanatara..May be we may come back if they are including more games in the package may be not..anyways it was okay for 1 day visit..so everyone was happy....

Dora The Explorer toy using Toilet Roll
Hihi:) I got this idea from a website http://www.dltk-kids.com/crafts/cartoons/mdora.html. 
1. Draw Dora's dress+ Hands + Shoes + Face +Backpack on a white sheet on paper. You can draw by seeing the templates .This is an economic way as we dont have to spent on our print catridge
2. Cut out the parts
5.Now Dora is ready for your use:)
Its a cool site where we can get n number of ideas..
I was having an idea to create Dora for such a long time but i wa in search for toilet rolls..Finally i managed to get nearly 5 to 6 toilet rolls.You can make any toy out of this..i made Dora as my kid likes her a lot..Below are the instructions to make Dora
1. Draw Dora's dress+ Hands + Shoes + Face +Backpack on a white sheet on paper. You can draw by seeing the templates .This is an economic way as we dont have to spent on our print catridge
Bit costly way is to take the print of the same from the website mentioned above..better to use thick paper as this will last longer or take normal paper and stick it to thick paper which we normally get as suppliments with magazines.
2. Cut out the parts 3. Colour the parts if you have used the economic way..
Dress to be coloured -Pink +Red & Brown
Hands - Brown + Pink colour for sleeves
Shoes -White + Yellow color for socks
Backpack - Violet color
Face - Brown + Red mouth + brown eyes + Black Hair
4. Take a toilet roll and stick the dress part first.You can use cello tape also..Now stick the shoes and add the backpack over it.Fix hands and face..
5.Now Dora is ready for your use:) Note:- you can use sketch pencil for more effective colors as crayons cant give that much clarity..i used crayons as i gave the pictures to my kid and she coloured it for me
