This is beautiful! Try not to cry.

She jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out of the operating room.  She said:  "How is my little boy ?  Is he going to be all right ?  When can I see him ?"

The surgeon said, "I'm sorry.  We did all we could, but your boy didn't make it."

 

Sally said, "Why do little children get cancer ?  Doesn't God care any more ?  Where were you, God, when my son needed you ?"

The surgeon asked, "Would you like some time alone with your son ?  One of the nurses will be out in a few minutes, before he's transported to the university."

Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she said good bye to son.  She ran her fingers lovingly through his thick red curly hair.  "Would you like a lock of his hair ?" the nurse asked.

Sally nodded yes.  The nurse cut a lock of the boy's hair, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Sally.

 

The mother said, "It was Jimmy's idea to donate his body to the University for Study.  He said it might help somebody else.  "I said no at first, but Jimmy said, 'Mom, I won't be using it after I die.  Maybe it will help some other little boy spend one more day with his Mom."  She went on, "My Jimmy had a heart of gold.  Always thinking of someone else.  Always wanting to help others if he could."

Sally walked out of Children's Mercy Hospital for the last time, after spending most of the last six months there.  She put the bag with Jimmy's belongings on the seat beside her in the car.

 

The drive home was difficult.  It was even harder to enter the empty house.  She carried Jimmy's belongings, and the plastic bag with the lock of his hair to her son's room.

She started placing the model cars and other personal things back in his room exactly where he had always kept them.  She laid down across his bed and, hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep.

 

It was around midnight when Sally awoke.  Laying beside her on the bed was a folded letter.  The letter said :

"Dear Mom, I know you're going to miss me;  but don't think that I will ever forget you, or stop loving you, just 'cause I'm not around to say "I Love You" .  I will always love you, Mom, even more with each day. Someday we will see each other again.  Until then, if you want to adopt a little boy so you won't be so lonely, that's okay with me.  He can have my room and old stuff to play with.  But, if you decide to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn't like the same things us boys do.  You'll have to buy her dolls and stuff girls like, you know.  Don't be sad thinking about me.  This really is a neat place.  Grandma and Grandpa met me as soon as I got here and showed me around some, but it will take a long time to see everything.  The angels are so cool.  I love to watch them fly.  And, you know what?  Jesus doesn't look like any of his pictures.  Yet, when I saw Him, I knew it was Him.  Jesus himself took me to see GOD !  And guess what, Mom ?  I got to sit on God's knee and talk to Him, like I was somebody important.  That's when I told Him that I wanted to write you a letter, to tell you good bye and everything.  But I already knew that wasn't allowed.  Well, you know what Mom ?  God handed me some paper and His own personal pen to write you this letter.  I think Gabriel is the name of the angel who is going to drop this letter off to you.  God said for me to give you the answer to one of the questions you asked Him 'Where was He when I needed him ?'  "God said He was in the same place with me, as when His son Jesus was on the cross.  He was right there, as He always is with all His children.  Oh, by the way, Mom, no one else can see what I've written except you.  To everyone else this is just a blank piece of paper.  Isn't that cool ?  I have to give God His pen back now. He needs it to write some more names in the Book of Life.  Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesus for supper.  I'm sure the food will be great.

 

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you.  I don't hurt anymore.  The cancer is all gone.  I'm glad because I couldn't stand that pain anymore and God couldn't stand to see me hurt so much, either.  That's when He sent The Angel of Mercy to come get me.  The Angel said I was a Special Delivery !  How about that ?

Signed with Love from God, Jesus & Me.

 

( Let's see Satan stop this one. )   Take 60 seconds and repost this, within the hour, you will have caused a multitude of believers to pray to God for each other.  Then sit back and feel the Holy Spirit work in your life for doing what you know God loves "When you're down to nothing, God is up to something."

Email this.

Subject: [ Mettur . com ] Save young People from Debts... Stop the Inflation..

 
How  many of you are ready to follow this?




Hi,

(below email "Save the IT People from Debts" was wonderful and we should go through it and also forward to all our friends)

Real Estate price hike is known open robbery from IT guys by brokers / whoever it is and it's not only Flats / Real Estate, IT guys undergo open robbery from all rich shop owners / a person who wanted to become rich as fast as possible...

The salary whatever we get, it's our hard-earned money, most of the times sitting in the night, away from family functions, friends, etc...but all our money or most of the money are going to someone who just takes advantage of our stressful life (both mentally and physically) and our new western life style.

I do not find anything wrong in having a US / UK life style, but many open thieves (starting from Ministers to our local Restaurant owner) just swindling all our "legal money" and as we do not have any other choice becoming poor / debtor day by day.

Well most of the price hikes are just unbelievable and there is absolutely no justification (few examples given below).

Chicken Biriyani ) - Rs. 65

Today (since last 2 weeks) same  Chicken Biriyani (believe me, there is absolutely no change) - Rs. 78, there is no justification for such a big increase.

Pop Corn (   PVR   Complex) previously (month and half back) - Rs. 20

Today (almost the same quantity) - Rs. 30 (again, i do not find any justification)

Corn in Garuda Mall previously (month back) - Rs20 Small, Rs 30 Medium and Rs 40 High

Now,     No "actual" small and real small has become 35 now and 45 for high... [Are they the farmers who have given their blood to grow this ]

(In   PVR   complex, many price hikes are really too much for no reason...)

Chips packet (Gangotree) previously (three months back) - Rs. 15

Since last two Months the same packet costs - Rs. 20 (again, I do not find any justification)

Room Clean (just once) - Rs. 200, that's bcos they cleaned IT guys room.

(The moment you say that you are from Software company, the price automatically increases...)

We guys already pays big taxes from our salaries and goes on paying other taxes too (starting from    Hotel Adiga's    "Vada" to Scotch in a bar), it's time to think and pledge ourselves that we stop spending just for one month...

Reason(s) why we should stop spending alteast for a month:

    1. 70% of the IT guys occupies the restaurants.

    2. 80-90% of the IT guys goes to coffee shop, hang around places, bakeries, etc.

    3. Most of the IT guys goes to    PVR,Garuda   complex   for   , Movies

If we stop going / spending just for a month, their business automatically goes down and they would have no other choice except to bring down the price, that's what happened when IT industry was down three years back.

Somehow directly or indirectly we are responsible for this unjust price hike and now, only we could prevent this open robberies, please add your comments or experiences and keep forwarding this email to all your known people, I am sure even if 25% of us realizes and acts accordingly, it could and would make lot of difference to us.

(let's try and prevent unjust price hike)

 

 

Save the IT People from Debts

* Property market  in Year 2001 -2004 was quiet Ok , People were able to buy Flats in reasonable rates .

*Year 2005 -2006 , Some of the well known builders  started the rates boom , flat which was at the cost of   Rs.900 Sq Ft  now became 2200 to 2800

Q: Are there any additional facilities ?

 --> No  Same Scheme/Area , Flat sold at 10 Lacks Now selling at 25 Lacks .

  Q: Why Property increased so High ?

--> IT people competition to buy sweet home ..

  Q: Who is going to Benfit from this Property Boom ?

--> Only Builders and some of the Politicians  

  Q: How is the Bank's support on Home Loans ?

--> Last Year , Bank gave the loan's at flexible mimimum rate,Now Banks has sufficient number of customers ,

  (Trap) Slowly Banker's increasing interst at % 0.5  every month .

  IT People Who bought house for 22 Lacks  for 20 Yrs , Now became 23 Yrs with raise of   0.5 %

  Q. How  some IT people can face the problems in Future ?

--> Companies are  Project Based , If  Projects are not there then People will not be there .

  Q. IT salaries are high in Market , How much actually IT-people getting in Hand ?  

--> People, Who bought house of  22 Lacks to 40 Lacks   They need to pay EMI

    15,000 to 35,000  for 20 Yrs. If Bank keeps same interst rates .

     Suppose Salary is 35- 40 K  Per Month, 20K will be the EmI  

  Q. Is there any "Terms & Condition or Processes to increase rates" ?

  --> No , Depends on Buiders Greediness . Every builder follows the different strategies

      Builder sold one flat 1500 Per Sqft  in Morning and 1800 Per Sqft  in the Evening ,

    There are no records maitained ..

Q. Who made builders smart & greedy ?

  --> Greedy IT people ..

No body is asking  , Flat was sold at 12 Lacks , Why now 24 Lacks ?

  Q. Is Corporation water & MESB available to all schemes ?

--> Some of the area don't have the Corporation water at all , People surviving on Water Tankers.

     ** MESB  .. Under Table ,can be managed easily .

  Q. What will be the condition If We are not able to Clear the Loan ?

-->  Depends on individual capabilities

Q. What wiil be the actual 'area of living' or carpet area if the builder proposes 1000 sft?

....> The actual carpet area will be 800-850 sft only. The common area is also included in the proposal.

        If two flats are in the same floor, then the builder cheats both the residents by collecting

  How do Builders cheat buyers? ... Let us see with a simple example

    Builder XXXX 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 sft flat ( 850 sft carpet area ), the approximate cost will be Rs.37,65,000. In the same plot area ( measuring 2 grounds) the builder would have constructed 8 or 10 flats.

Let us see how a builder earns his profit

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                       - 80 lakhs for two ground     -------   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.

Let us see the share of 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                     = Rs. 19,00,000 ( Nineteen lakhs)

The total share for each resident is Rs. 19,00,000 ( Nineteen lakhs only )

but he pays Rs. 37.5 laks for the flat.

Q. How  We can stop Builders -Property Boom ?

         1) IT People  should think about buying flats for  atleast next 1-2 Yrs .

     2) Onces rates are reasonable , With some legal process get the Booking .

     3) Check Facilities, Convince, Road Approach, schools & Mainly co-operation water

     4)  Ask Questions  If I buy 1/2 BHK at 12 to 30 Lacks , Do I get reasale value in future?

     5) Today you are capable for paying 1000 -3000 maintains per month ? Will will be the same case

         after 20-30yrs after  retirement .

    6) In All, Don't stretch more  to get the more & more loans other wise it will create unnecessary  

         pressure and tension .

     7) Read the above mentioned calculation carefully, when you are about to buy a flat pls keep this in mind.

* Please read this carefully * Send it to all you know * Act quickly * Save them from debts.

* We can stop the inflation.

Save the IT People from Debts

* Property market  in Year 2001 -2004 was quiet Ok , People were able to buy Flats in reasonable rates .

*Year 2005 -2006 , Some of the well known builders  started the rates boom , flat which was at the cost of   Rs.900 Sq Ft  now became 2200 to 2800

  (Trap) Slowly Banker's increasing interst at % 0.5  every month .

  IT People Who bought house for 22 Lacks  for 20 Yrs , Now became 23 Yrs with raise of   0.5 %

  Q. How  some IT people can face the problems in Future ?

--> Companies are  Project Based , If  Projects are not there then People will not be there .

  Q. IT salaries are high in Market , How much actually IT-people getting in Hand ?  

--> People, Who bought house of  22 Lacks to 40 Lacks   They need to pay EMI

    15,000 to 35,000  for 20 Yrs. If Bank keeps same interst rates .

     Suppose Salary is 35- 40 K  Per Month, 20K will be the EmI  

  Q. Is there any "Terms & Condition or Processes to increase rates" ?

  --> No , Depends on Buiders Greediness . Every builder follows the different strategies

     ** MESB  .. Under Table ,can be managed easily .

  Q. What will be the condition If We are not able to Clear the Loan ?

-->  Depends on individual capabilities

Q. What wiil be the actual 'area of living' or carpet area if the builder proposes 1000 sft?

....> The actual carpet area will be 800-850 sft only. The common area is also included in the proposal.

        If two flats are in the same floor, then the builder cheats both the residents by collecting

  How do Builders cheat buyers? ... Let us see with a simple example

    Builder XXXX 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 sft flat ( 850 sft carpet area ), the approximate cost will be Rs.37,65,000. In the same plot area ( measuring 2 grounds) the builder would have constructed 8 or 10 flats.

Let us see how a builder earns his profit

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                       - 80 lakhs for two ground     -------   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.

Let us see the share of 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                     = Rs. 19,00,000 ( Nineteen lakhs)

The total share for each resident is Rs. 19,00,000 ( Nineteen lakhs only )

but he pays Rs. 37.5 laks for the flat.

Q. How  We can stop Builders -Property Boom ?

         1) IT People  should think about buying flats for  atleast next 1-2 Yrs .

     2) Onces rates are reasonable , With some legal process get the Booking .

     3) Check Facilities, Convince, Road Approach, schools & Mainly co-operation water

     4)  Ask Questions  If I buy 1/2 BHK at 12 to 30 Lacks , Do I get reasale value in future?

     5) Today you are capable for paying 1000 -3000 maintains per month ? Will will be the same case

         after 20-30yrs after  retirement .

    6) In All, Don't stretch more  to get the more & more loans other wise it will create unnecessary  

         pressure and tension .

     7) Read the above mentioned calculation carefully, when you are about to buy a flat pls keep this in mind.

* Please read this carefully * Send it to all you know * Act quickly * Save them from debts.

* We can stop the inflation.

A great read. Take your time to read it and if possible follow it.

An interesting reflection : Slow Down Culture

It's been 18 years since I joined Volvo, a Swedish company. Working for
them has proven to be an interesting experience. Any project here takes
2 years to be finalized, even if the idea is simple and brilliant. It's
a rule.

Globalize processes have caused in us (all over the world) a general
sense of searching for immediate results. Therefore, we have come to
posses a need to see immediate results. This contrasts greatly with the
slow movements of the Swedish. They, on the other hand, debate, debate,
debate, hold x quantity of meetings and work with a slowdown scheme. At
the end, this always yields better results.

Said in another words:
1. Sweden is about the size of San Pablo, a state in Brazil.
2. Sweden has 2 million inhabitants.
3. Stockholm, has 500,000 people.
4. Volvo, Escania, Ericsson, Electrolux, Nokia are some of its renowned
companies. Volvo supplies the NASA.

The first time I was in Sweden, one of my colleagues picked me up at the
hotel every morning. It was September, bit cold and snowy. We would
arrive early at the company and he would park far away from the entrance
(2000 employees drive their car to work). The first day, I didn't say
anything, either the second or third. One morning I asked, "Do you have
a fixed parking space? I've noticed we park far from the entrance even
when there are no other cars in the lot." To which he replied, "Since
we're here early we'll have time to walk, and whoever gets in late will
be late and need a place closer to the door. Don't you think? Imagine my
face.

Nowadays, there's a movement in Europe name Slow Food. This movement
establishes that people should eat and drink slowly, with enough time to
taste their food, spend time with the family, friends, without rushing.
Slow Food is against its counterpart: the spirit of Fast Food and what
it stands for as a lifestyle. Slow Food is the basis for a bigger
movement called Slow Europe, as mentioned by Business Week.

Basically, the movement questions the sense of "hurry" and "craziness"
generated by globalization, fueled by the desire of "having in quantity"
(life status) versus "having with quality", "life quality" or the
"quality of being". French people, even though they work 35 hours per
week, are more productive than Americans or British. Germans have
established 28.8 hour workweeks and have seen their productivity been
driven up by 20%. This slow attitude has brought forth the US's
attention, pupils of the fast and the "do it now!".

This no-rush attitude doesn't represent doing less or having a lower
productivity. It means working and doing things with greater quality,
productivity, perfection, with attention to detail and less stress. It
means reestablishing family values, friends, free and leisure time.
Taking the "now", present and concrete, versus the "global", undefined
and anonymous. It means taking humans' essential values, the simplicity
of living.

It stands for a less coercive work environment, more happy, lighter and
more productive where humans enjoy doing what they know best how to do.
It's time to stop and think on how companies need to develop serious
quality with no-rush that will increase productivity and the quality of
products and services, without losing the essence of spirit.

In the movie, Scent of a Woman, there's a scene where Al Pacino asks a
girl to dance and she replies, "I can't, my boyfriend will be here any
minute now". To which Al responds, "A life is lived in an instant". Then
they dance to a tango.

Many of us live our lives running behind time, but we only reach it when
we die of a heart attack or in a car accident rushing to be on time.
Others are so anxious of living the future that they forget to live the
present, which is the only time that truly exists. We all have equal
time throughout the world. No one has more or less. The difference lies
in how each one of us does with our time. We need to live each moment.
As John Lennon said, "Life is what happens to you while you're busy
making other plans".

Congratulations for reading till the end of this message. There are many
who will have stopped in the middle so as not to waste time in this
globalize world.
