What I read in email ? - One more chance Please....

This is one of the best emails I have received. Good creation.


It is yet another morning.

Again I have to go to office.

Ohh, this is me... I shouted having a glance on my snap in today's news paper.

But what the HELL it is doing in the death column??

One sec... Let me think, last night when I was going to bed I had a severe pain in my chest, but I don't remember anything after that, I think I had a sound sleep.

Its morning now, ohh..... It's already 10:00 AM, where is my coffee?

I will be late for office and my boss will get a chance to irritate me.

Where is everyone...??? I screamed.

I think there is a crowed outside my room, let me check." I said to myself.


So many people..... Not all of them crying...

But why some of them crying...

WHAT IS THIS??? I m laying there on the floor...

"I AM HERE" ... I shouted!!! No one listen.

LOOK I AM NOT DEAD" ... I screamed once again!!! No one is interested in me.

They all were looking me on the bed.

I went back to my bed room.

Am I dead??" I asked myself.

Where is my wife, my children, my mom-DAD, my friends?

I found them in the next room, all of them were crying... still trying to console each other.

My wife was crying... she was really looking sad.

My little kid was not sure what happened, but he was crying just coz his mom was sad.

How can I go without saying my kid that I really love him, I really do care of him. ??

How can I go without saying my wife that she is really most beautiful and most caring wife in this world..??

How can I go without saying my parents that I m ... just because of u ??

How can I go without telling my friends that without them perhaps I have done most of the wrong things in my life... thanks for being there always when I need them... and sorry for not being there when they really need me..

I can see a person standing in the corner and trying to hide his tears...Ohh.. he was once my best friend, but a small misunderstanding made us part, and we both have strong enough ego to keep us disconnect.

I went there.. And offered him my hand, "Dear friend... I just want to say sorry for everything, we r still best friend, please forgive me.
No response from other side, what the hell??
He is still preserving his ego, I am saying sorry... even then!!!

I really don't care for such people. But one sec.... it seems he is not able to see me!!!!

He did not see my extended hand.

My goodness...

AM I REALLY DEAD???

I just sat down near ME;

I was also feeling like crying..

"OHH ALMIGHTY!!!!
PLEASE JUST GIVE ME FEW MORE DAYS..."

I just wasn't to make my wife, my parents; my friends realize that how much I love them.

My wife entered in the room, she looks beautiful.

"YOU R BEAUTIFUL"

I shouted.

She didn't hear my words, in fact she never heard these words coz I never said this to her.

"GOD!!!!"

I screamed... a little more time plzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..

I cried...

One more chance please... to hug my child, to make my mom smile just once, to feel my dad proud on me at least for a moment, to say sorry to my friends for everything I have not given to them, and thanks for still being in my life.... I shouted....

"GOD!!!! ONE MORE CHANCE PLEASE!!!!"

"You shouted in your sleep," said my wife as she gently woke me up.

"Did you have a nightmare?"I was sleeping....

Ohh that was just a dream....

My wife was there...

she can hear me...

This is the happiest moment of my life...

I hugged her and whispered....

"U R THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND CARING WIFE IN THIS UNIVERSE.... I REALLY LOVE U DEAR"

I can't understand the reason of the smile on her face with some tears in her eyes, still I m happy....

"THANK YOU GOD FOR THIS SECOND? CHANCE."

Forget your egos, past......,
and express your love to others..........
Be friendly...............
keep smiling and be happy for ever..

I READ IN A BOOK

This is something about business taught in a class room by a professor.


Students grasped this quickly. No student will have a doubt. No wonder


A professor explained his students about succeeding in a BUSINESS as


If you see a pretty girl in a party and yourself proposed her for you to her means DIRECT MARKETING.

If your friend talked to her for you, it is ADVERTISING

If you got her telephone/mobile number and you talked to her next day is TELE MARKETING

If she herself proposed to you is SUCCESSFUL MARKETING

When you proposed to her and she slaps you, it is CUSTOMER FEEDBACK

If your friend also proposed to her and got slap, is BUSINESS COMPETITION


I wanted to add some more thing.


If you propose more than one girl, then it is MULTILEVEL MARKETING.

If you touch her hand and she smiles, then it is ADSENSE or PAY PER CLICK PROGRAMS.

If a marriage broker informs you about her - is AFFILIATE.

MY EXPERIMENTS WITH HOME BUSINESS-Part -2

Please refer my earlier post on My experiments with home business - part-1. (written in Feb-09)

Since reading emails could not fetch any cash, I decided to earn (?) differently. This time, I wanted to try on surveys.

So, I joined in surveyscout.com by paying some $ 35. I think this was in 2004. They sent me a link to join different survey companies and advised me to create a separate email id (which is common for all the survey companies) and I did it.

Evenththough they gave me more than 150 links, I joined as many as 50 survey websites only.

I received many surveys but the interesting thing is, when I gave honest answers, I did not get qualified for many surveys.

Surveyscout.com has got a refund system, that is if you do not earn any amount within 60 days from the date of joining, they will refund the 100% amount back to your account.

I applied for refund (since I have not earned any cent out of survey) they did not ask me any question and refunded the entire amount to my paypal account where I paid the amount to them at the time of joining.

I have to appreciate this company (surveyscout.com) for their service ,sincerity, honesty.

This experience gave me enough idea, how to get qualified by giving the answers they expect. (honestly speaking incorrect answers) .

Few surveys were not applicable to my area (India). But, in many cases, I failed in preliminary survey (for honest answers). Eventhough, I knew how to overcome this preliminary survey, I did not want to do that. Also, I did not have patient to complete the survey which took more than 20 minutes. I have completed few surveys by giving honest answers also. They gave me some points, some informed me that my name would be put in a pool for a lucky draw etc.

In the survey invitation itself, you will know what you are going to get after completion of the survey. (in dollars or points or to be sent for lucky draw).

During first week, I attempted almost all the surveys. Whether it gives dollars, points or lucky draws. The result is, I failed to qualify for next level.

During second week, I skipped lucky draw surveys.

During third week, I skipped points surveys and started to concentrate on dollar surveys only.

At that time, I was having dial up connection for internet and most of the dollar surveys I missed to complete due to the low band width connectivity. It took very long time to load each page. Some times, I get page load error, timeout error, this error that error etc which frustruated me.

This process went upto 60 days. I decided to give up this survey venture because, answering the questions made me tired and slow internect connection made my life miserable.

So, I requested for refund from surveyscout.com and they honored. Thanks to them.

After getting my refund, I did not try any survey because I do not want to earn from survey . I also wanted to show the same honesty to surveyscout.com. After getting the refund, I did not open the email id created for the surveys.

But, through surveys, you can definitly see some money (if you have patience to answer the repetative quetions).

Not earning money through surveys is the mistake on my part only which I have to accept.

My pandaripur trip



















When I was in Panchagani, (100 km from Pune), I decided to visit Pandaripur Pandurangan Temple which is 200 km from here. (02.03.2009)

I took a car from Panchagani (Rs.5 per KM) and started around 7.30 am.

First we visited Kaasi Viswanathar Temple at Wai. Then we proceeded to Pandaripur and reached there by 1.30 pm.

Took a holy dip at Chandrabaahaa river (only 1/2 feet water was available at that time).
Had a good dharsan of Shri Paanduranga Maharaj and Rukumaayee Devi.

Cell phones, cameras are not allowed inside the temple. Even, you cannot take photograph of the temple from the road. I kept my mobile phone and camera in the car itself.

Around 2 pm, we had lunch and started to Panchagani.

My carelessness cost me Rs.450/-

Recently I visited Pune for a training programme. I could not get confirmed ticket for my return journey. So, I decided to book my return ticket in Takkal quota.
This Takkal quota will be opened only 5 days before the commencement of journey.
This Takkal ticket will be issued from the starting point of train to the end station.
My train starts from Dadar (Mumbai). I have to board at Pune. I booked my train ticket in Takkal without mentioning my boarding point at Pune. (This information we have to give at the time of filling up passenger details). So, my boarding point printed as 'Dadar'.

Fearing the problems I could face at Pune, I cancelled the ticket. (Takkal tickets can be cancelled but no refund will be made by Indian Railways). Again I booked the Takkal ticket by carefully giving all the information including my name and boarding point.

WHERE CARELESSNESS STARTS ?

1) I did not read the screen carefully. I have booked more than 20 to 30 tickets for my journey, none is involved in the boarding point issue.

2) I booked the ticket through irctc.co.in website. Once you book the ticket through this website, they will send about this booking to you by email you have registered with them. I did not open the email to see the details.

When I got the email regarding refund of the Takkal ticket, I opened the email and read it. They have refunded Rs.108/- (Total amount is Rs.558/. In that email, they have given some additional information regarding change in boarding point.

"If you want to change in boarding point, you have to contact the nearest railway station to update the information."

If I read the email before cancelling, I would have changed the boarding point.

Total carelessness.
