I had this thought a while ago,
“My darling cannot understand
What I have done, or what would do
In this blind bitter land.”
And I grew weary of the sun
Until my thoughts cleared up again,
Remembering that the best I have done
Was done to make it plain;
That every year I have cried, “At length
My darling understands it all,
Because I have come into my strength,
And words obey my call;”
That had she done so who can say
What would have shaken from the sieve?
I might have thrown poor words away
And been content to live.

This is the story of “The Perfect Boss”
There were about 70 scientists working on a very hectic project. All of them were really frustrated due to the pressure of work and the demands of their boss but everyone were loyal to him and did not think of quitting the job.
One day, one scientist came to his boss and told him – Sir, I have promised to my children that I will take them to the exhibition going on in our township. So I want to leave the office at 5:30 pm. His boss replied “OK, You’re permitted to leave the office early today”.
The Scientist started working. He continued his work after lunch. As usual he got involved to such an extent that he looked at his watch when he felt he was close to completion. The time was 8.30 PM.
Suddenly he remembered of the promise he had given to his children.
He looked for his boss, he was not there. Having told him in the morning itself, he closed everything and left for home. Deep within himself, he was feeling guilty for having disappointed his children. He reached home. Children were not there.
His wife alone was sitting in the hall and reading magazines. The situation was explosive; any talk would boomerang on him. His wife asked him, “Would you like to have coffee or shall I straight away serve dinner if you are hungry.
The man replied “If you would like to have coffee, I too will have but what about Children?”
Wife replied “You don’t know? Your manager came here at 5.15 PM and has taken the children to the exhibition”
What had really happened was … The boss who granted him permission was observing him working seriously at 5.00 PM. He thought to himself, this person will not leave the work, but if he has promised his children they should enjoy the visit to exhibition.
So he took the lead in taking them to exhibition. The boss does not have to do it everytime. But once it is done, loyalty is established.
That is why all the scientists at Thumba continued to work under their boss even though the stress was tremendous.
By the way, can you hazard a guess as to who the boss was..?……………….
He was none other than the mastermind behind India ‘s successful nuclear weapons and missiles program.
Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, Former President of India.

STORY STARTS FROM HERE…….. ……
So I decided that I’d ask her to marry me.
Or ask her if she would marry me.
Or say that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her.
Or tell her I loved her, and that I wanted her to be with me forever.
Or give her a ring — a big, huge diamond ring. Or just get down on my knees and let my eyes say it all.
Well, I had reached a decision. What exactly I was going to do about it, I didn’t know — at least not yet.
It’s now exactly one year since the first time I had started talking with her– an anniversary of sorts. I remembered, because that first time was New Year.
And tomorrow it’s New Year again. And we had become close friends. And I had fallen in love.
And since I am a simple-minded sort of guy, I have decided I want to marry her.
But How to tell her, though, was a bit of a problem. There were so many ways to do it and choosing the right one wasn’t easy. And I had no idea how she’d react.
Would she think I was moving too fast?
Was it too early to suggest marriage?
Was she even interested in me in that way?
Surely, the best way to find out was to tell her how I felt, and ask her if she felt the same. And if she did, then we could get married. Right?
These thoughts had been in my head from the moment I had woken up that morning. And I’d only been awake a few minutes. As I finished brushing my teeth, the phone rang.
“Hello?”
“Hi!” It was her.
The sound of her cheery voice took my breath away. “Hi!” I replied, almost whispering.
“Listen,” she said, sounding very excited. “I’m having a party at home tonight. Be there at eight.”
“Sure,” I replied.
“Ok, bye!” And she put the phone down.
I stood there for almost a minute, staring at the phone in my hand.
And then I stupidly said “Bye” to it.
I would have to reach the party early, to tell her in private. Or should I say it right there in front of all the guests? Or after the party, when we were cleaning up after everyone was gone?
And what was I going to get her? Should I get her anything at all? How about flowers? Roses? Or was that too clichéd? Orchids sounded better. Or bluebells. Or tulips. Or cauliflower.
I checked my thoughts. No. Not cauliflower.
It’s New Year. A gift was definitely in order.
I could get her that moonstone pendant she liked so much. But then it was a little flimsy as a gift. It was really a toy more than a piece of jewellery. But did it matter if she really liked it?
Should I get her a book instead?
Or a CD?
Or an earring?
Or should I make her something? I thought about my artistic skills and decided that that was probably not a good idea.
I spent so much time looking for a suitable gift all day that by the time I decided that flowers would be a better option, all the florists had closed. And it was also too late to try to get to her house early and catch her alone.
So I decided I’d tell her after the party when everyone was gone. And that I wouldn’t get her anything — more because I couldn’t, than anything else.
Feeling like a fool, and extremely nervous, I reached her doorstep. I was on time, but there didn’t seem to be any noise coming from inside. Maybe no one had turned up yet. After all, who came to a party on time?
I stood there and composed myself for a minute. Then, reasonably confident that the turmoil I was going through wouldn’t show, I knocked.
She opened the door, but only a fraction. She slid out without opening the door completely, handed me a piece of cloth, and told me to tie it around my eyes. “We’re playing Blind Man’s Buff,” she said.
Meekly, I put the blindfold on, and she led me into the house. There was silence, and no one was making a sound. Quite sneaky of everyone, I thought to myself.
She spun me around a little, and then made me stop. She backed away, and then said from somewhere behind me, “Ok, you can take it off now.”
Though a little confused as to what version of Blind Man’s Buff was played after taking the blindfold off, I complied. And as soon as I opened my eyes, I froze.
I was standing in the middle of her empty living room, and the lights had all been turned off. But the room was brightly lit with dozens of candles.
And on the wall in front of me, was a big poster with the following words on it:
One year ago, this day we met.
There was an arrow pointing to the right, beside the poster. So I turned. On the next wall were the words:
One year of friendship
One year of joy
One year of laughter
between a girl and a boy
One year of comfort
One year of closeness
One year of peace
and a whole lot of happiness
On the third wall, was:
One year or Six,
a lifetime it seems,
And yet, it feels just like yesterday
I turned to look at the fourth wall, and there, standing in front of it, was she, holding up a poster in her hands that said:
I want to be this happy forever ………… Will You Marry Me?

Interviewer: Tell me about yourself.
Candidate: I am Kondesh Kulkarni. I did my Tele Communication engineering from BabanRao Dhole-Patil Institute of Technology.
Interviewer: BabanRao Dhole-Patil Institute of Technology? I had never heard of this college before!
Candidate: Great! Even I had not heard of it before getting an admission into it. What happened is – due to cricket world cup I scored badly in 12th.I was getting a paid seat in a good college. But my father said (I prefer to call him ‘baap’) – “I can not invest so much of money”. (The baap actually said – “I will never waste so much of money on you”). So I had to join this college. Frankly
Speaking this name – BabanRao Dhole-Patil, can at the most be related to a Shetakari Mahavidyalaya.
Interviewer: ok, ok. It seems you have taken 6 years to complete your engineering.
Candidate: Actually I tried my best to finish it in 4 years. But you know, these cricket matches and football world cup, and tennis tournaments. It is difficult to concentrate. So I flunked in 2nd and 3rd year. So in all I took 4 + 2 = 7 years.
Interviewer: But 4+2 is 6.
Candidate: Oh, is it? You know I always had KT in maths. But I will try to keep this in mind. 4+2 is 6, good, thanks. These cricket matches really affect exams a lot. I think! They should ban it.
Interviewer: Good to know that you want cricket matches to be banned.
Candidate: No, no… I am talking about Exams!!
Interviewer: Ok, What is your biggest achievement in life?
Candidate: Obviously, completing my Engineering. My mom never thought I would complete it. In fact, when I flunked in 3rd year, she was looking for a job for me in BEST (Bus corporation in Maharashtra) through some relative..
Interviewer: Do you have any plans of higher study?
Candidate: he he he… Are you kidding? Completing ‘lower’ education itself was so much of pain!!
Interviewer: Let’s talk about technical stuff. On which platforms have you worked?
Candidate: Well, I work at SEEPZ, so you can say Andheri is my current platform. Earlier I was at Vashi center. So Vashi was my platform then. As you can see I have experience of different platforms! (Vashi and Andheri are the places in Mumbai)
Interviewer: And which languages have you used?
Candidate: Marathi, Hindi, English. By the way, I can keep quiet in German, French, Russian and ma! ny other languages.
Interviewer: Why VC is better than VB?
Candidate: It is a common sense – C comes after B. So VC is a higher version than VB. I heard very soon they are coming up with a new language VD!
Interviewer: Do you know anything about Assembly Language?
Candidate: Well, I have not heard of it. But I guess this is the language our ministers and MPs use in assembly…
Interviewer: What is your general project experience?
Candidate: My general experience about projects is – most of the times they are in pipeline!
Interviewer: Can you tell me about your current job?
Candidate: Sure, Currently I am working for Bata InfoTech ltd. Since joining BIL, I am on Bench. Before joining BIL, I used to think that Bench was software like Windows.
Interviewer: Do you have any project management experience?
Candidate: No, but I guess it shouldn’t be difficult. I know Word and Excel. I can talk a lot. I know how to dial for International phone call and use speaker facility. And very important – I know few words like – ‘Showstoppers ‘ , ‘hotfixes’, ‘SEI-CMM’,'quality’,'versioncontrol’,'deadlines’ , ‘Customer Satisfaction’ etc. Also I can blame others for my
Mistakes!
Interviewer: What are your expectations from our company?
Candidate: Not much.
1. I should at least get 40,000 in hand.
2. I would like to work on a live EJB project. But it should not have deadlines. I personally feel that pressure affects natural talent.
3. I believe in flexi-timings.
4. Dress code is against basic freedom, so I would like to wear t-shirt and jeans.
5. We must have sat-sun off. I will suggest wednesday off also, so as to avoid breakdown due to overwork.
6. I would like to go abroad 3 times a year on short term preferably 1-2 months) assignments. Personally I prefer US, Australia and Europe. But considering the fact that there is a world cup in West Indies in 2007, I don’t mind going there in that period. As you can see I am modest and don’t have many expectations. So can I assume my selection?
Now Mad….Interviewer
) We look forward to working with you… welcome to our company 
Interviewer: he he he ha ha ha. Thanks for your interest in our organization. In fact I was never entertained so much before.

Universal law:
love can neither be created nor be destroyed, only it can transfer from
one girlfriend to another girlfriend with some loss of money.
First law:
a boy in love with a girl, continues to be in love with her and a girl
in love with a boy, continues to be in love with him, until on unless
any external agent(brother or father of the gal) comes into play and
breaks the legs of the boy.
Second law:
the rate of change of intensity of love of a girl towards a boy is
directly proportional to the instantaneous bank balance of the boy and
the direction of this love is same to as increment or decrement of the
bank balance.
Third law:
the force applied while proposing a girl by a boy is equal and opposite
to the force applied by the girl while using her sandals.
