While a man was polishing his new car, his 4 yr old son picked up a stone and scratched lines on the side of the car.
In anger, the man took the child’s hand and hit it many times not realizing he was using a wrench.
At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple fractures. When the child saw his father…..with painful eyes he asked, ‘Dad when will my fingers grow back?’
The man was so hurt and speechless; he went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times. Devastated by his own actions, sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches; the child had written ‘LOVE YOU DAD’.
The next day that man committed suicide!
Anger and Love have no limits; choose the latter to have a beautiful, lovely life & remember this:
Things are to be used and people are to be loved. The problem in today’s world is that people are used while things are loved.

Vodafone announces two handsets, priced as much as two large-sized pizzas!
Say hello to the Vodafone 150 and the 250, the former being described by Vodafone as the world’s cheapest handset. The phone unveiled at the on going MWC will be sold for $15 (Rs. 700) and is aimed at developing markets. We expect to see an Indian launch in the not too distant future.
The Vodafone 150
The Vodafone 150 and Vodafone 250 offer expected voice and SMS services and packs in quite a few features you wouldn’t expect in such low priced phones. For example, the 150 supports mobile payment services, has a miniUSB connector, alarm clock, a torch, calculator a currency converter; 2 embedded games; and memory for up to100 entries in phonebook plus SMS storage. The battery is rated at 500mAh and offers standby time up to 400hrs and talk time up to 5hrs.
The Vodafone 250
The 250 boasts of a 5-way navigation key, a 1.45-inch CSTN display, 128x128 pixels, FM radio and stereo headset support, wallpapers, polyphonic ringtones, alarm clock, calculator, currency converter and 2 embedded games. This one too has the same battery and yes, there’s a miniUSB connector as well.
Vodafone has also confirmed that it will maximize the availability of the handsets by providing an extensive logistics infrastructure across countries with sizeable and isolated rural populations. With this Vodafone expects that the phone will reach 60 percent of the population in India, a prime market for both these phones.
The Vodafone 150 will retail at below $15 (Rs. 700) and the Vodafone 250 will retail unsubsidised at below $20 (Rs. 900), depending on the local market.
Finally, after a long wait and lot of tests, I upgraded from Ubuntu 9.10 to 9.10, on my laptop. Well, correctly speaking, it wa not a ‘upgrade’ in the actual sense, I did a fresh install.
It does seem faster and after the initial release bugs (that is what I waited it out!), it very stable. It seems to miss the option to change the login screen though so I have to research in this. Lookout for my future posts regarding the Koala!
1. Bill Gates earns US$250 every SECOND, that’s about US$20 Million a DAY and US$7.8 Billion a YEAR!
2. If he drops a thousand dollar, he won’t even bother to pick it up bcoz the 4 seconds he picks it, he would’ve already earned it back.
3. The US national debt is about 5.62 trillion, if Bill Gates were to pay the debt by himself; he will finish it in less then 10 years.
4. He can donate US$15 to everyone on earth but still be left with US$5 Million for his pocket money.
5. Michael Jordan is the highest paid athlete in US. If he doesn’t drink and eat, and keeps up his annual income i.e. US$30 Million, he’ll have to wait for 277 years to become as rich as Bill Gates is now.
6. If Bill Gates was a country, he would be the 37th richest country on earth.
7. If you change all of Bill Gate’s money to US$1 notes, you can make a road from earth to moon, 14 times back and forth. But you have to make that road non-stop for 1,400 years, and use a total of 713 BOEING 747 planes to transport all the money.
8. Bill Gates is 40 this year. If we assume that he will live for another 35 years, he has to spend US$6.78 Million per day to finish all his money before he can go to heaven.
9. Last but not the least: If Microsoft Windows’ users can claim US$1 for every time their computers hang because of Microsoft Windows, Bill Gates will be bankrupt in 3 years!!!!!!!!!!!
