Charles Plumb was a US Navy jet pilot in Vietnam. After 75 combat missions, his plane was destroyed by a surface-to-air missile. Plumb ejected and parachuted into enemy hands. He was captured and spent 6 years in a communist Vietnamese prison. He survived the ordeal and now lectures on lessons learned from that experience!
One day, when Plumb and his wife were sitting in a restaurant, a man at another table came up and said, "You're Plumb! You flew jet fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk. You were shot down!"
"How in the world did you know that?" asked Plumb. "I packed your parachute," the man replied. Plumb gasped in surprise and gratitude. The man pumped his hand and said, "I guess it worked!". Plumb assured him, "It sure did. If your chute hadn't worked, I wouldn't be here today."
Plumb couldn't sleep that night, thinking about that man. Plumb says, "I kept wondering what he had looked like in a Navy uniform: a white hat; a bib in the back; and bell-bottom trousers. I wonder how many times I might have seen him and not even said 'Good morning, how are you?' or anything because, you see, I was a fighter pilot and he was just a sailor". Plumb thought of the many hours the sailor had spent at a long wooden table in the bowels of the ship, carefully weaving the shrouds and folding the silks of each chute, holding in his hands each time the fate of someone he didn't know.
Now, Plumb asks his audience, "Who's packing your parachute?" Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it through the day. He also points out that he needed many kinds of parachutes when his plane was shot down over enemy territory -- he needed his physical parachute, his mental parachute, his emotional parachute, and his spiritual parachute. He called on all these supports before reaching safety.
In the daily challenges that life gives us, we miss what is really important.
We may fail to say “hello”, “please”, or “thank you”, congratulate someone on something wonderful that has happened to them, give a compliment, or just do something nice for no reason.
As you go through this week, this month, this year, recognize people who pack your parachutes!

Buying a second hand car ..check these parameters
Being aware of a few key parameters will help you get a value-for-money deal. First, look at all the papers. Match the information on the papers with the one on the car. Four important things to match are the registration number, chassis number, engine number and colour.
If the car is over 15 years old, check the fitness certificate. The log of service history is another document that will help you judge the car. "Maintenance of service history deserves a premium," said Jayesh Jagasia, who used to run a used car verification and certification company, VeriCar.
Doors: To get a better value for their vehicle, many owners do basic repairs before selling the car. This includes covering scratches and dents. So, look for consistency of paint. Patches of irregular paint could mean repair for scratches or dents. "Such work brings down the price of the car," said Jagasia. The paint could also be done to cover rusting. The buyer should further check the underside of the vehicle and wheel wells for signs of rust. In case of rust, point it out to the owner and renegotiate the price. For a small car, a basic repair for rust can start at Rs 3,000 (for anti-rust coating) and go as high as Rs 10,000 (with a paint job).
Air-conditioner: Switch it on to assess if it cools well and does it quickly. In case of a problem with the AC, the repair cost can vary from Rs 1,500 (for gas issues) to over Rs 6,500 (for changing the condenser) for a small car.
Tyre: Check tyres for wear and tear. Replacing one bald tyre can cost you Rs 2,500-4,500 for small and medium segment cars. Tyres not worn out evenly can indicate misalignment. In this case, a repair can take Rs 1,000-1,200.
Suspension: If the paperwork and exteriors are satisfactory, move on to the mechanical aspects. Take a test drive. If the vehicle does not absorb jerks and jolts while passing over potholes, the suspension needs repair. Such work can cost at least Rs 5,000 and can go as high as Rs 15,000 (in case of excessive damage).
Brakes and clutch: The brake should not squeal and must stop the car in a sufficiently short distance. The cost of repair can range from Rs 2,500 to over Rs 15,000 in case parts such as brake boosters need replacement. Check clutch plates, too. In case of burnt ones, the cost of mending can be Rs 6,000-6,500.
Engine: This is the most important aspect. Start by checking oil quality and consumption. While taking a test drive, keep an ear on the engine sound. Knocking, tapping or rattling noises indicate excessive wear of internal engine parts. Any problems with the engine, look for another car.
There are chances that you may come across a car that satisfies you on all these parameters but the manufacturer has discontinued the model. The running cost of such a car may put a strain on your wallet as spares may be expensive.
While these checks can give you basic understanding of the car, experts said it was always advisable to take a trusted mechanic to judge a used car. "A mechanic can understand essential areas such as the condition of an engine and if the car has an accident history. The feedback can help you negotiate better," said a Maruti car dealer.
Financing your used car purchase
The interest rate for a used car is high, compared to a new one. The State Bank of India [ Get Quote ] (SBI) rate is around 15 per cent and HDFC Bank [ Get Quote ] around 18 per cent. Mahindra First Choice have tied up with banks and offers loans from Mahindra Finance, too. But, this is slightly expensive than other banks, informed an executive at the showroom.
Every bank has its own restrictions on lending for a used car. Most of the bank finance excludes registration-related cost. This means a person would need to spend from his pocket for transferring the vehicle. If the car belongs to another state, the buyer will need to shell out extra for octroi and other charges.
Further, the borrower will need to pay 0.5 ?1 per cent of the loan as processing fees.
The repayment period for most banks, like HDFC Bank, is restricted to five years. SBI is one of the very few banks giving loans for seven years, too. However, the rate of interest may increase with a higher loan tenure.
Finance companies have restriction on the age and model of cars, too. SBI does not lend for cars older than five years. HDFC Bank lends if the car is less than 10 years old. And, lenders do not finance for car models that manufacturers have discontinued.
Getting the right dealer
Your mechanic's garage is not the only place to check if you want to buy a used car. Almost all car manufacturers are foraying into the second-hand car market. Over 100 checks are done on a used car before it is put on sale. The cars also come with free services (around three in the first-year alone) and a year's warranty on engine, gearbox and suspension.
Corporate dealers procure cars that satisfy certain parameters. For example, a car should be less than seven years old. Vehicles that have met accidents or were damaged in floods are rejected. However, all these services involve money and they tend to push the car's cost up.
Also, small dealers act like brokers. Sellers bring their car and put these on sale at their showrooms. They hard-sell the vehicle for a commission without doing any checks on it. But, the scope for negotiation with an unorganised player is much more than with a corporate dealer.
The latter would only give small discounts, such as free registration and insurance or may offer a cash discount of Rs 7,000?10,000, depending on the car.
Also, in some cases, an unorganised player can work out to be cheaper, offering the same quality as the organised one. Always take along either a reliable mechanic or a car expert to evaluate the condition of the four-wheelers displayed.

Ratan Tata .. leadership example
One of Mr. Ratan N Tata's (RNT) first assignments was the stewardship of the ailing electronics company in the Tata portfolio - Nelco.
Story goes that a team of senior managers from Nelco was driving to Nasik along with RNT. Halfway into the journey, the car had a flat tyre, and as the driver pulled up, the occupants - including Mr. Tata - got off for a comfort break, leaving the driver to replace the tyre.
Some of the managers welcomed the forced break, as it allowed them a much-needed chance to light up a cigarette. Some used the opportunity to stretch, and smile, and share a joke. And then, one of them suddenly noticed that Mr. Tata was not to be seen, and wondered aloud where Ratan Tata might have vanished!
Was he behind some bush?
Had he wandered off inside the roadside dhaba for a quick cup of tea?
Or was he mingling with some passer-bys, listening to their stories?
None of these, in fact, while his colleagues were taking a break, Ratan Tata was busy helping the driver change tyres. Sleeves rolled up, tie swatted away over the shoulder, the hands expertly working the jack and the spanner, bouncing the spare tyre to check if the tyre pressure was ok. Droplets of sweat on the brow, and a smile on the face.
At that moment, the managers accompanying Ratan Tata got a master class in Leadership they haven't forgotten.
And that's a moment that the driver of that car probably hasn't forgotten either!
Questions to ask:
· When was the last time I rolled up my sleeves to do a task much below my hierarchy?
· Do I wait for the big opportunity to showcase my leadership?
· Is that big opportunity ever going to come?
· Am I trying to manage upwards so much that I've lost the feel of the field?
Ideas for action:
· Humility is the essence of success. Be humble and even teach your children to be so.
· To reach the top and remain there, always start from the bottom, else your days at the top will not last long.
· Practice leadership in small things instead of waiting for the big crisis or a major product launch.
· Seek to find opportunities to lead in everyday moments.
· Build your leadership skills one baby step at a time.
· When one’s hands get dirty - The mind remains clean!!

Jan Ahar ..Janata Ahar ..Food from Indian railways
I recently had from the Jan Ahar ...Janatha Ahar in Secunderabad Station.I entered the store just to test the quality of food indian railways gives for such low price.It is a small store compared to the other food counter next to it.There were few dishes avilable there like
Poori -- 10 Rs
Lemon rice -- 10rs
Curd Rice -- 10rs
Water bottles
Mango Frooti - around rs 8 to rs 9 (less than MRP)
Coffee/Tea
I took poori , to my suprise they gave me around 6 pooris with potato curry and pickle in a well packed box.
They were more worth than the money i put.
From then i started to have food from Jan Ahar.I could see the number of people who were coming to Jan Ahar increasing ...
I tasted lemon rice next time it was far better than the food which is served in my office canteen (i work for Software company)
Softdrinks are cheap than MRP price.They also have Instant Noodles.
Try Jan Ahar next time ..but remember to throw the waste in dustbin.

Cancer causing habits
1.. Hot Dogs
Because they are high in nitrates, the Cancer Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can't live without hot dogs, buy those made without sodium nitrate.
2. Processed meats and Bacon
Also high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon, and other processed meats raise the risk of heart disease. The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to cancer.
3. Doughnuts
Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts, says Adams , may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer.
4. French fries
Like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures. . They also contain cancer- causing acryl amides which occur during the frying process. They should be called cancer fries, not French fries, said Adams .
5. Chips, crackers, and cookies
All are usually made with white flour and sugar. Even the ones whose labels claim to be free of trans-fats generally contain small amounts of trans-fats.

liver damaging habits
1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.
2. Not urinating in the morning.
3 . Too much eating.
4. Skipping breakfast.
5. Consuming too much medication.
6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener.
7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil.
As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit..
8. Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver.
Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.
We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to 'schedule.'

BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS
1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.
2 . Overeating
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.
3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.
4.. High Sugar consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.
5. Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our 20 body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.
6 . Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest.. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells..
7. Head covered while sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.
8. Working your brain during illness
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.
9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts
Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.
10. Talking Rarely
Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain

2 . Overeating
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.
3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.
4.. High Sugar consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.
5. Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our 20 body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.
6 . Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest.. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells..
7. Head covered while sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.
8. Working your brain during illness
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.
9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts
Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.
10. Talking Rarely
Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain

Learning and teaching ....good story
Chuan and Jing joined a wholesale company together just after graduation. Both worked very hard.
After several years, the boss promoted Jing to sales executive but Chuan remained a sales rep. One day Chuan could not take it anymore, tender resignation to the boss and complained the boss did not value hard working staff, but only promoted those who flattered him.
The boss knew that Chuan worked very hard for the years, but in order to help Chuan realize the difference between him and Jing, the boss asked Chuan to do the following. Go and find out anyone selling water melon in the market? Chuan returned and said yes. The boss asked how much per kg? Chuan went back to the market to ask and returned to inform boss the $12 per kg.
Boss told Chuan, I will ask Jing the same question? Jing went, returned and said, boss, only one person selling water melon. $12 per kg, $100 for 10 kg, he has inventory of 340 melons. On the table 58 melons, every melon weighs about 15 kg, bought from the South two days ago, they are fresh and red, good quality.
Chuan was very impressed and realized the difference between himself and Jing. He decided not to resign but to learn from Jing.
A more successful person is more observant, think more and understand in depth. For the same matter, a more successful person sees several years ahead, while the others see only tomorrow. The difference between a year and a day is 365 times!
Think! how far have you seen ahead in your life? How thoughtful in depth are you?

Speech by Chetan Bhagat at Symbiosis ...
Don't just have career or academic goals. Set goals to give you a balanced, successful life. I use the word balanced before successful. Balanced means ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are all in good order.
There is no point of getting a promotion on the day of your breakup. There is no fun in driving a car if your back hurts. Shopping is not enjoyable if your mind is full of tensions.
"Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have to run with a marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no point coming first. Same is with life where health and relationships are the marble. Your striving is only worth it if there is harmony in your life. Else, you may achieve the success, but this spark, this feeling of being excited and alive, will start to die.
One thing about nurturing the spark - don't take life seriously. Life is not meant to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are like a pre-paid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked up?
It's ok, bunk a few classes, scoring low in couple of papers, goof up a few interviews, take leave from work, fall in love, little fights with your spouse. We are people, not programmed devices.
"Don't be too serious, be sincere."!

The donkey
A village potter used to make pots and planters. He would go to a near by town to sell his wares. He had a donkey on whose back he would load the pots etc.
Diwali was fast approaching, so the potter decided to make some statues of Lord Ganesha and Goddess Lakshmi, to sell in town. He made some beautiful statues and painted them in bright colours. He then loaded them on to the back of his donkey and set off towards the city.
On the way, he crossed many people. They would invariably fold their hands and bow to the statues of Ganesha and Lakshmi. By the time they reached the city, many people had bowed their heads before the deities.
They reached the exhibition ground where the artisans could exhibit their things. Soon the potter was able to sell his statues for a good sum. He was pleased indeed!
The potter took his donkey by the muzzle and set off on the road leading back to the village. Every time they would cross anyone, the donkey would stop and preen himself prettily as if he were a model. But what was the matter! No one seemed to as much as glance at him! Why were people not bowing their heads before him anymore? Desperate to catch their attention, the donkey started to bray louder & louder...
He-haw, he-haw...... He went on. The passers-by started pelting stones at him in annoyance. The potter was bewildered too.
The poor donkey had thought that everyone was bowing to him, little realizing that their reverence was directed to the idols of God tied to his back and not to him!
Many of us make this mistake. A person occupying a seat of power, often finds people saluting him. If he thinks that the salutations are in his honour, he is living in a fool's paradise, like the donkey in the story!
The respect is given to the chair and not to the person occupying it. As soon as he steps down from the position, the people around him vanish.
Frogs croak only when it rains, as soon as the rain stops, they vanish.

Poor IT guy
After lots of meet ups with non-IT friends, relatives, strangers etc, you
will notice that the moment you say that you are an IT guy, they have
already made some assumptions about you.
Myth #1: If you haven't been onsite ...u are a loser
Uncle: "Tum 3 saal se IT company mein kaam kar rahe ho na?"
Me: "Haan uncle ......bas ....."
Uncle: "Tum videsh nahi gaye?"
Me: "Nahi uncle project mein requirement nahi hai onsite kaa"
Uncle: "Lekin woh deepak ko toh maanna padegaa.... vo chote sheher se hai.....bade college se nahi hai ...fir bhi usne jamke mehnat ki aur usse company ne USA bheja!"
Aaaha! thats the problem. People think that the smarty pants are sent on
site while the loser ones are the people left behind in India. So the
assumption is that if you haven't been on site then you don't work hard nor
you have any sincerity and... ok that's enough for now.
Myth #2:If you are not in the biggies..u are a loser
Auntyji: "Beta, kaunsa company?"... ..."Kabhi suna nahi"....."Kaha hai ye?"
Auntyji: "Tumko Info*** mein nahi mila kya?" (in short: "tum second grade gadha lagte ho")
Then I have to make efforts to tell them how I actually work in a much
niche technology. In case the opposite person is technologically sane then
I give him some product development 'funda' (arrogance).
Myth #3: You can fix any computer..and calculator and may be clocks too
Most of the computer engineers around must have at least once gone to a
friend's place only to fix his /her comp. The task can be from installing a
software (next..next. . finish) to fixing a computer which gives electric
shocks when its metal areas are touched.
Myth #4: You have lots of money
Once I met up with my friends from school ...from various fields. I just
mentioned that it is such a pain to go to office nowadays and said that I
wanted to buy a car.
Friend1: "what problem do u have man .. u are an IT waala"
Friend2: "Tu toh Honda CRV le saktaa hai"
Me: "CRV!! aabey CRV kyaa mere pass VCR lene ka paisa nahi hai"
Even after 5 minutes of convincing them weren't getting convinced.
Myth #5:
Coding means sitting in front of the computer During my college days , my classmate had an encounter with a guy from mechanical dept:
Mech guy: "Your Computer engineering is a big nautanki.... four years You learn the same grey dabba... and all you ppl do is sit nicely in front Of that dabba and punch the keys"
Well I don't completely disagree
Myth #6:
One more thing which oldies say : " Now you work in such a big company ,
you are settled , you should marry now !! " OMG this salary is not enough
for one poor soul.. how to handle two ???
Myth #7:
In Diwali...u get questions like......"Are you gonna get a bonus this
Diwali.....? ?" And when we reply in the negative.... .they seem so
surprised... !!!!!!!
Myth #8: A common issue that I have seen:
When I tell anybody that I work with C**, many times I get a reply "My
son/daughter/ relative Mr/Ms XXX also works with C**. You must be knowing
him/her" and if I answer in the negative, they feel disappointed (they
think.....may b nobody wants to knows me).
How to explain to them that there are around thousands of employees in my
company, and I cannot know everybody in my ODC, forget about knowing
everybody in the company. L LoLzzzzzzzzzzzzz. ....
