Pics / I am alone
« on: February 14, 2009, 12:03:49 PM »
I am ALONE





ALONE

When you didnt come back

My hear crumbled

All my fears where a reality

Th Love I have for you








Lonliness

lonliness is a deafing silence

a death to your heart

the love ,the touch,the look

that kiss.








Waiting for You

You came to my life unpredicted

Everything happen next is unexpected

We just ride on the flow

Without knowing, we acted out in the show.








I miss you and you dont care!!

I love you, and i always did,

we were friends but YOU never did..

You knew that i loved you so much,

but you didnt care,








I Miss You Like Hell

I can't heal the hurt I've been feeling since you left

I need you more than I can explain.

Though only two hours are between us,

My age forbids us to see eachother.










Lonely Longing

The night was stormy, brunches hitting the windows,

But I dreamed of you and felt safe in your embrace.

The sweetness of your touch, your voice so low,

Kept the cold away and the warmth on my face.










I mIss U so much Baby

I miss u really so bad,

I’m never glad when ur not around.

Seeing u makes me so glad,

So glad that it drives me mad.










Where are you

remember the days when we laughed together,

remember the days when when we shared sorrow and joy altogether;

remember when we used to play,

remember when after meeting you I became gay;

remember your wonderful smile when you first looked at me,

remember when from my banter you used to flee;

remember your funny ways, how it made me laugh,

remember our fights when they used to get rough;

remember how you used to stretch your hand in strife,

wonder where you have been lost in the meanderings of life!

Pics / Albert Einstein vs Marilyn Monroe: 5 meters distance
« on: February 14, 2009, 11:38:49 AM »
This is the craziest thing I've seen today.

You have to get out of your seat and walk away from your computer.
People may think you're crazy. But it's well worth it.



When you look at this picture in a closer look you see its Albert Einstein. But if you stand 15 feet away, it will become Marilyn Monroe.

LIghter siDe of Poems........To mAKe U Smile

Roses Are reD, violets Are blue
Monkeys like you should be kept in the zoo.

Don't feel so angry, you will find me there too
Not in a cage but laughing at you...


Twinkle Twinkle little star
You should know what you are
And once you know what you are
Mental hospital is not so far.


The rain makes all things beautiful.
The grass and flowers too.
If rain makes all things beautiful
Why doesn't it rain on you?


I wrote your name on sand it got washed.
I wrote your name in air, it was blown away.
then ~ I wrote your name on my heart And....

I got a heart attack straight away...


God saw me hungry, HE created pizza.
HE saw me thirsty, HE created Pepsi
HE saw me in dark, HE created light
HE saw me without problems, HE created YOU

Surrey resident Sarwan Singh achieved a feat, which every Sikh is going to be proud of. He set a new Guinness Book of World Record by having the longest beard. Singh’s beard was measured at 2.36 meters or 7.7 3/4 ft, at a jam packed, Akal Academy in Surrey BC, on November 11, 2008. Over 200 people came out in support of the Akal Academy Music Teacher and his attempt at breaking the world record.

The previous record was held by Shamsher Singh of Punjab, India, with a beard last measured at 1.83 metres in 1977.

“This is history in the making,” said Dr. Pargat Singh Bhurji, the principal and president of Akal Academy Surrey, where Singh is a popular and respected music teacher.

“Mr. Sarwan Singh is a devout, humble, spiritual man and his beard is considered as a divine gift. He’s blessed, he’s gifted. Hair is a divine gift. So this is a divine gift from God,” said Dr. Bhurji.

Singh stood on a stool while his beard was dipped in water, brushed and then measured three times on a flat surface with a measuring tape as the judges and media and over 200 other witnesses looked on.

As he posed for pictures with his wife and two children, Singh’s beard hung from his chin to the floor.

“I have a feeling of divine happiness and I am thankful that God has chosen me for the gift of the longest beard,” said Sarwan Singh, 42. The measurement was presided over by Surrey-Newton MLA Harry Singh Bains, Surrey RCMP Sgt. Baltej Singh Dhillon and lawyer Sukhjinder Singh Grewal.

Sarwan Singh’s family told CBC News they were exceptionally proud of his achievement. “Not only to me, he’s inspiring to the Sikh community,” said his young son Bikram Singh, sporting a tuft of hair on his chin that may one day set another record.

As a devoted Sikh, Singh does not cut or trim his hair, not just his beard, as uncut hair is one of the five objects (Five K’s) or symbols of faith of the Sikhs who have taken the vows of the Khalsa, as outlined by the tenth Guru of the Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh. “Whatever God gives us, it is just our job to take care of that. Don’t cut it or don’t do anything to it,” Singh’s daughter Gursimran Kaur told CBC News.

In addition to the Guinness World record, the event started with the students of Akal Academy performing Dhadhi Varan, a Sikh musical composition, explaining Sikh history taught to them by Sarwan Singh and other Akal Academy teachers. This was followed by talks on the importance and significance of hair from both a scientific and religious viewpoint as reflected in the teachings of the Sikh religion.

News Khabran / Pavneet Singh tops IIM CAT, scores 100 percentile

Pavneet Singh tops CAT, scores 100 percentile
10 Jan 2009, 1233 hrs IST, Gulveen Aulakh, ET Bureau

[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUobmVQDI1Y


CHANDIGARH: For Pavneet Singh Gulyani, the 22-year-old Punjab Engineering College student who topped the IIM Common Admission Test with a 100-percentile score, the world is a different place. And he knows it. “Recession, lay-offs , bail-out and stimulus packages have become household words. In a capitalist system, this happens as it did for a brief period in the 1980s,” he says.

The final-year mechanical engineering student, who aspires to become an entrepreneur, sees a ray of hope. “I guess there is someone out there making money even in these grim times. Someone like Warren Buffet has faced tougher times than what we are facing today and is still going strong.”

Son of a shopkeeper, Mohali-based Pavneet is one of the many Indians who believe in the power of the domestic economy. “In India, I think recession or slowdown should not last for more than a year or so. In the long run, things will be better and Indian markets could regain their lost position.”

It is with this confidence that Pavneet hopes to fulfil his entrepreneurial dreams of bringing quality education to the Chandigarh region. “My focus will be on the education sector and especially on higher education. To begin with, I would like to begin a business school in the region since we lack quality education,” he adds. Not to disappoint, the region fared equally well, adding bling to the celebrations . Saurabh Verma, also of PEC and the only student in the region to report calls from all seven IIMs, secured a score of 99.94 percentile . Sanjot Malhi, son of DGP Haryana Home Guards and Civil Defence Gurjot Singh Malhi, scored 99.83 percentile.


According to Bulls Eye north head Hirdesh Madan: “Overall, close to 50 students from the region got calls from IIM. The results affirm our perception that more of non-engineers are making it to the IIMs. Even though most successful students from the region are still from an engineering background, there is a distinct bias in favour of candidates with strong linguistic abilities.” Pavneet’s preparation, consisting of continuous mock exams, trained him for every possible situation that the surprise-springing CAT is known for. Eventually , it was thinking straight and executing a strategy to perfection that helped him crack the CAT. “Verbal ability was my weak point and the first look at the paper gave me made me nervous! Since there were 40 questions in the verbal ability (VA) section, it meant nearly more than half of the score would depend on English. But since I was strong in data interpretation (DI) and quantitative analysis (QA) I wrapped up both the sections quickly and gave more time to VA. Still, I expected the least score from English,” he said.

News Khabran / Drug route: From Punjab to Mumbai
« on: January 27, 2009, 11:25:24 PM »
MUMBAI: As zonal director of the Narcotic Control Bureau's (NCB) Chandigarh office, arrested IPS officer, Saji Mohan, was in the hotbed of the
drug trade. The border districts of Punjab are the favoured crossing points for drug traffickers carrying heroin from Afghanistan through Pakistan.

In 2006, the NCB had seized 125kg of heroin on the 564 km-long Pakistan border in Punjab, while the Border Security Force (BSF) confiscated 35kg of contraband that year. Experts estimate that this haul amounts to barely one-tenth of the contraband that is actually smuggled in through the border.

The huge amounts get past the Indo-Pak border undetected via conduits (tunnels), and each package is labelled with tags such as `Aeroplane', `Abdi Khel', `555', `7777', etc. Only last month, the BSF discovered a tunnel on the border that was being used to bring in heroin from Pakistan. The contraband is then picked up by Indian smugglers and transported by road to cities like Amritsar, Ferozepur, Nawanshahr, Ludhiana and Chandigarh. It is then loaded onto trains bound for Mumbai, hidden among ordinary consignments of dry fruits, machinery, woollens, etc.

Mumbai remains the favourite transit port for drug cartels for historic reasons. Dawood and Chhota Rajan gangs are well established here; their drug carriers are well-trained and most importantly, Mumbai enjoys good global connectivity by both air and sea routes.

Intelligence officials say that over the years, reduction in troop presence on the Punjab border due to the end of militancy in the region has also made it easier for drug traffickers. Earlier, BSF personnel stood guard at a distance of every 100m, but now, they are spread thin: distance between two guards is over 300m. From Mumbai, the heroin is smuggled into Europe through human carriers.

The few who are caught often reveal that they had been smuggling contraband for years. For instance, Chandan Nair, a 71-year-old, who was convicted to 10 years in jail last week for trying to smuggle three kilos of heroin into Europe, said that he had been making regular trips since 2002. In 2008, Mumbai also saw the rare instance of a Kashmiri drug dealer, Ghulam Malik, being sentenced to death because he was convicted the second time round for dealing in drugs-a capital offence under the law.

News Khabran / Punjab holds big potential for the IT sector

Punjab holds big potential for the IT sector
From ANI

Mohali, Jan.27: The northern State of Punjab promises a huge business potential for those willing to invest in the Information Technology (IT) sector.


The State is fast emerging as an information technology destination.

Thanks to pro-IT policies of the State government, Punjab is globally competitive and a leading State in the field of information technology.

Availability of needed infrastructure and skilled manpower has attracted multinationals to invest in Punjab.

Chandigarh-based Seasia Consulting is an ISO-Certified premier software development company, providing its customers with the most modern and competitive IT solutions.

Established in 1997, Seasia Consulting has annual sales around one million dollars and caters to clients in USA, Europe and Africa.

Col.(Retd.) Anil Khanna, the Chief Executive Officer of the Seasia Consulting, said: "PTU (Punjab Technical University) at Jalandhar has about 142 colleges under it. These colleges are producing enough technical manpower to work in these companies. So the smallest amount required for a particular area to develop is already there.

"Previously, individuals used to go to south India-Hyderabad, Bangalore-to find jobs. Now they don't have to go. So that the critical mass has already been achieved now if anybody (businessman) is willing to come here, he has ready manpower. In about six months time, Chandigarh is going to have an international airport. All the customers from around the globe can land directly at Chandigarh and do business," Khanna added.

Ajay Tewari, the Chief Executive Officer, Smart Data, says: " We don't belong to this region originally. We are not from Punjab or Chandigarh area. We came here for the reason, we picked up strictly due to the similarity between Chandigarh region with, to large extent with what we see in the Silicon Valley-in open mindedness high network income people, a very strong focus on education exposure, and, I would say, a very good support from the Govt. agencies."

Already 260 companies have registered with the Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) and 135 out of these are exporting their services actively.

In fact, in 2007-08, the software exports from Chandigarh and Mohali region were a staggering 117 million USD.

Ajay Srivastava, Asst.Director, STPI in Mohali, says: "We already have big investments like INFOSYS, DHEL, QUARK. An echo system has been developed so, there is always a good road map for new bigger investment to come into this region. The best thing that I can see is, presently, if you see there is a slowdown in a economy, so it's a very good time for us to gear up for attracting the next investment in this region."

Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula have been able to attract IT bigwigs like Infosys and Dell. And, the opportunities are there for others as well.

Challenger cities like Ahmedabad and Chandigarh have done well to become a part of the challengers' list according to a recent survey by AT Kearney. By Sunil Sharma

US Airways Pilot Refuses to Fly Plane Unless Three Sikhs Get Off
Renowned Sikh Classical Religious Musicians Face Public Harassment and Discrimination

Sacramento, California, USA: In a disturbing incident reminiscent of widespread discrimination in 2001, three eminent Sikh classical religious musicians, Gulbag Singh, Davinder Singh, and Iqbal Singh were 'kicked off' a US Airways flight, and were told that the US Airways pilot for the plane was refusing to fly with them on board. UNITED SIKHS has written to the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and US Airways, warning legal recourse against US Airways unless prompt action is taken to redress the incident.

The incident occurred on November 15th, after Gulbag, Davinder, and Iqbal Singh cleared Transportation Security Administration (TSA) security at Sacramento International Airport in Sacramento, California, and boarded US Airways flight no. 0493 to Phoenix, Arizona, where they were scheduled to transfer on a connecting flight to Salt Lake City, Utah.The three were sitting together in the rear of the plane, in their assigned seats. After having been on the plane for approximately ten minutes, they were approached by one of the ticket-reception desk workers and asked to exit the plane. While none of the three adequately comprehend or speak English, the group complied and exited the aircraft. When it became apparent that the group was unable to converse with US Airways representatives, a Panjabi interpreter was called to assist.

The Panjabi interpreter informed Iqbal Singh, on behalf of the US Airways representatives, that the US Airways pilot for the plane was refusing to fly if they were onboard the aircraft. When Iqbal Singh asked why, the US Airways representatives were unable to give a clear answer, and the interpreter went on to persuade the three not to raise any objection because it could lead to more problems. The group, having become concerned, fearful, and worried about what had happened, took the only option they were given, which was to stay the night in a hotel and depart on a Delta Airlines flight the following morning to Salt Lake City, Utah.

Commenting on the discriminatory and publicly humiliating treatment, Gulbag Singh commented, "I would like to ask the average American to think about how they would feel if they were cleared by security, were sitting on their plane, and then were asked to leave for no good reason. It is ridiculous that a person should be submitted to such second class treatment." (Translated from Panjabi)

In the formal complaint letter to US Airways, UNITED SIKHS stressed the severity of the racial profiling and discriminatory treatment, asked for an apology and compensation for the three Sikhs, and offered training for US Airways staff. "Sikhs will not stand to be discriminated against. There is no satisfactory justification for US Airways to treat people in this way. This is a clear violation of civil rights and they must take immediate actions to address this issue," stated Harpreet Singh, Legal Director, UNITED SIKHS.

In a separate incident on November 17, 2008 at Logan International airport in Boston Massachusetts, a Sikh man, Jaspal Singh, was sent to secondary screening where he was subjected to humiliating treatment when a Transportation Security Officer ( TSO) roughly searched his turban, almost untying it, after threatening him with arrest. UNITED SIKHS has written to and spoken with the TSA which is currently reviewing video footage of the incident.

Due to the high volume of passengers during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday season, you may face improper or discriminatory treatment while traveling. Contact UNITED SIKHS immediately to report your incident so that we can advocate the incident to the TSA and rectify improper screenings at airports.

I don't know if anybody else is keeping track of the news.  But there has been a lot of terrorist attacks on Mumbai.  I just wish to bring this to all your attention.  It is very sad to see what is happening in the name of religion.

Indian forces are clearing the last gunmen from two luxury hotels in Mumbai and a Jewish centre more than 30 hours after a series of devastating attacks in the city killed more than 130 people.

Keep up with events as they unfold here. All times are in GMT.

0555 Lt Gen N Thamburaj, head of the Indian army's Southern Command, tells reporters the Taj Mahal Palace hotel's new building has been cleared and handed over to police. He says there is believed to be one gunman holding out in the older, "heritage" part of the hotel, and that one or two hostages are still in there with him. Gen Thamburaj says the gunman is moving around on two floors, where he has cut off the electricity. A number of hotel rooms remain locked from the inside, possibly by guests who are hiding there.

0525 India's Times Now channel says the army has taken complete control of the Oberoi hotel releasing the last 30 hostages, most of them foreigners.

0231 Snipers are reportedly shooting from buildings opposite the Jewish centre.

0210 Indian television shows footage of commandos being lowered from a helicopter onto the roof of the Jewish centre. There are still an unknown number of hostages inside. Troops also move in at ground level.
