Broadcasting my thoughts
Starting from today…. I am presenting a series of some of my favourite advertisements from Print for the fellow ilanders… I request all to please comment with open heart, if you like them… so that I may be encouraged to bring more of the finest work…
The first ad in the series is a social ad for “Saving Trees”… Look at the combination of Copy & Visual - gelling perfectly - the real heart & soul of Print Advertisements.

Useful Tips on Mobile Use
1) Emergency number
The Emergency Number world-wide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out of coverage area of your mobile network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly… this number 112 can be dialed even while the keypad is locked. Try it out.
2) Locked the keys in the car? Your car has remote keys?
This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone also. If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone on your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the other person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the phone on their end. Your car will unlock. That saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other “remote” for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).
My Experience: *It worked fine! I tried it out and it unlocked my car over a cell phone!
3) Hidden Battery power
Imagine your cell battery is very low, u r expecting an important call and u don’t have a charger. Nokia instrument comes with a reserve battery. To activate, press the keys *3370#. Your cell will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when u charge your cell next time.

IMPACT of JOB CHANGE
A taxi passenger tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him a question. The driver screamed, lost control of the car, nearly hit a bus, went up on the footpath, and stopped few centimeters from a shop window.
For a second everything went quiet in the cab, and then the driver said: “Look mate, don’t ever do that again. You scared the daylights out of me!”.
The passenger apologized and said, “I didn’t realize that a little tap would scare you so much.” The driver replied, “Sorry, it’s not really your fault.
Today is my first day as a cab driver - I’ve been driving a van carrying dead Bodies for the last 25 years…
‘njoy…..

A professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it.
He held it up for all to see; asked the students,’ How much do you think this glass weighs?’
‘50gms!’ …. ‘100gms!’ ……’125gms’ ……the students answered.
‘I really don’t know unless I weigh it,’ said the professor,’but, my question is: What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?’
‘Nothing’ the students said.
‘Ok what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour? ‘ the professor asked.
‘Your arm would begin to ache’ said one of the students.
‘You’re right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?’
‘Your arm could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress; paralysis;
Have to go to hospital for sure!’ventured another student; all the students laughed.
‘Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change? ‘ asked
The professor. ‘No’ the students said.
Then what caused the arm ache & the muscle stress?’
The students were puzzled.
‘Put the glass down!’ said one of the students.
‘Exactly!’ said the professor.’ Life’s problems are something like this.
Hold it for a few minutes in your head; they seem OK.
Think of them for a long time & they begin to ache. Hold it even longer & they begin to paralyze you. You will not be able to do anything.
It’s important to think of the challenges (problems) in your life, but
EVEN MORE IMPORTANT to ‘put them down’ at the end of every day before you go to sleep.
That way, you are not stressed, you wake up every day fresh & strong & can handle any issue, any challenge that comes your way!’
Remember to ‘PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY!

Law of the Telephone: When you dial a wrong number, you never get an engaged tone.
Law of Mechanical Repair: After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch.
Law of the Workshop: Any tool, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible corner.
Law of the Alibi: If you tell the boss you were late for work because you had a flat tire, the next morning you really will have a flat tire.
Bath THEOREM: When the body is immersed in water, the telephone rings.
LAW OF ENCOUNTERS: The probability of meeting someone you know increases when you are with someone you don’t want to be seen with.
LAW of the RESULT: When you try to prove to someone that a machine won’t work, it will!
LAW OF BIOMECHANICS: The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach.
THEATRE RULE: People with the seats at the furthest from the aisle arrive last.

I wanted to thank all my friends and family who have forwarded chain letters to me in 2006 & 2007. Becoz of your kindness:
* “I stopped drinking Coca Cola” after I found out that it’s good for removing toilet stains.
* I stopped going to the movies for fear of sitting on a needle infected with AIDS.
* I smell like a wet dog since “I stopped using deodorants” because they cause cancer.
* I don’t leave my car in the parking lot or any other place and sometimes I even have to walk about 7 blocks for fear that someone will drug me with a perfume sample and try to rob me.
* I also stopped answering the phone for fear that they may ask me to dial a stupid number and then I get a phone bill from hell with calls to Uganda, Singapore and Tokyo.
* I also stopped drinking anything out of a can for fear that I will get sick from the rat feces and urine.
* When I go to parties, I don’t look at any girl, no matter how hot she is, for fear that she will take me to a hotel, drug me then take my kidneys and leave me taking a nap in a bathtub full of ice.
* I also donated all my savings to the “Amy Bruce account”. A sick girl that was about to die in the hospital about 7,000 times. (Poor girl! she’s been 7 since 1999…)
* I went bankrupt from bounced checks that I made expecting the $15,000 that Microsoft and AOL were supposed to send me when I participated in their special e-mail program would arrive soon.
* “My free Nokia phone” never arrived and neither did the free passes for a paid vacation to Disneyland.
* Still open to help some from Bulgaria & Nigeria who wants to use my account to transfer his uncle’s property of some hundred millions $.
* Made some Hundred wishes before forwarding those Ganesh Vandana, Tirupathi Balaji pics etc.. now most of those ‘Wishes’ are already married (to someone else)
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you do not send this to at least 420 people in the next 10 seconds, a bird will SH** on your head today at 8:30pm.
…………….. Look how sad I am…………………
