						<title>What to do when you are trapped in a lift?</title>
						<link>http://www.fropper.com/post/31674</link>
						<description><![CDATA[    We never know when and where accidents will happen to us OR people around us.  Read on and hope this piece of information may help any of us when things do happen to ourself, our friends and our loved ones.   One day, while in a lift, it suddenly broke down and it was falling from level 13 at a fast speed.  Fortunately, I remembered watching a TV program that taught you must quickly press all the buttons for all the levels.  Finally, the lift stopped at the 5th level.   When you are facing life and death situations, whatever decisions or actions you make decides your survival.  If you are caught in a lift breakdown, first thought in mind may be 'waiting to die'...   But after reading below, things will definitely be different the next time you are caught in a lift.   First &ndash; Quickly press all the different levels of buttons in the lift.&nbsp;           Second &ndash; Hold on tight to the handle (if there is any).&nbsp;           Third &ndash; Lean your back and head against the wall forming a straight line.&nbsp;           Fourth &ndash; Bend your knees  Reason &ndash; When the lift falls, you will not know when it will hit the ground, and it may result in whole body bone fracture.&nbsp;            Point 1 &ndash; When the emergency electricity supply is being activated, it will stop the lift from falling further.   Point 2 &ndash; It is to support your position and prevent you from falling or getting hurt when you lost your balance.   Point 3 &ndash; Leaning against the wall is to use it as a support for your back/spine as protection.   Point 4 &ndash; Ligament is a flexible, connective tissue. It can be attached to the bone part of the activities, but limit the scope of their activities in order to avoid injury.  Thus, the impact of fractured bones will be minimised from the severe pressure during fall.   For everyone, do send out this piece of information to all!]]></description>

						<title>EK BHOOT AISA BHI..........!</title>
						<link>http://www.fropper.com/post/31571</link>
						<description><![CDATA[ 
 
Its after so many years that i am recalling this very incident in my life....yes .after so many years .... may be the nostalgia associated with the incident is compelling me to do it or is it because the tagging has made me to pen it down or has made me travel back in time ....well i don&rsquo;t really know......but its rather more like a right thing told at the right time .....probably makes more sense .....but its true that i cant help myself recall that nostalgia associated with it..... the good old days..... when we all would stay as a family so closely knit .... would visit all our close and not so very close relatives often.&nbsp; 
 
 
When we all as children would just wait for the summer vacations to come and plan where to go , when to go, which train to travel, getting our reservations well in advance, counting days for the vacations to begin ...! Which cousin or sister to visit . and have fun during all those hot summer days! I remember climbing mango trees, eat raw mangoes with salt and chilly powder... mouth watering childhood recipes....! , water melons, musk melons,guavas, imlis.....! Bicycle around the area.. ! the memories are also so very sweet ......that even today I feel like going back to my beautiful old days! All so very often, even now a days also whenever we all ..of course now grown up and already mothers to our kids .... but whenever we meet we always do talk and recall those beautiful good old days we spent together as children and particularly the summer vacations.&nbsp; 
 
 
This particular incident happened when i was in class IX, and the whole family planned to visit one of my cousin, whose family was in Rajasthan, this very cousin of mine ....was also very close to me and was studying in Medical college at Jodhpur, theres was a joint family. With his grand parents living with them, I was particularly very much impressed by his grand father, who was a freedom fighter and had big heavy moustaches!! I would often ask my father as to how he could carry on with such heavy and long moustaches !!! He was a very brave man and there were lot many stories everybody would often talk about, of his old days .... as to how he dealt with the British people during the freedom struggle and other stories relating to his bravery while he used to be away in fields at night ...... mostly associated with the ghosts .....! and we would often ask him about those very incidents ..... and he also would tell us about those .... mostly in the evenings .. after we would finish with our supper..... but those were the stories .... though very interesting ones..... but would defy our scientific logic .... based on todays science and scientifically thinking minds... since we were all students of science ....  
But this incident literally made us shiver.. It so happened.... that my cousin who was a medical student ....probably he was studying in first professional then .... as he would often bring home various human bones to study and would mostly study at night with all those big big medical books opened infront of him....! we couldn&rsquo;t even lift those books.....!&nbsp; 
 
 
One evening he brought home a human skull, to study of course ....! and after we finished with our dinner ,he went to his room .....and started studying ......we also went to the grand father as usual asking him to tell us a ghost story ! and he started as the night started advancing .. story also started gaining momentum and after a while we heard a fearful voice of my cousin , as if absolutely terrified ... calling for my uncle ....we children also just out of curiosity went out to see as to what was going on outside the grand pa&rsquo;s room .... what we came to know was enough to horrify us..my cousin was studying the human skull .... and after some time he kept the skull on the floor and went to have a glass of water in the kitchen.......when he came back to his room .. he almost fainted! the skull which was lying on the floor was moving ahead of its own .... towards the other end of the room ....!!! 
 
 
&nbsp;we all by now had gathered in the cousin&rsquo;s room and were watching the scene with our eyes wide open without even a single blink....! the skull kept moving forwards.....! we all started chanting the &ldquo;gayatri mantra&rdquo; ...... and &ldquo;shri hanuman chalisa&rdquo; .....! with our hearts pumping so violently as if it would just jump out of the thoracic cage..! with a big lump in our throats...! but to no avail ..the skull kept moving ......! and as it was moving forwards..... inch by inch..... we kept moving backwards...... when all our attempts failed ..... and fear touched its peak..... my younger brother said ..... hey lets call dadaji .....and before we could go to his room ..... dadaji was just standing infront of us......he said .... well i have heard all ... what you people are saying.....but now let me see for myself..... and with these words ...he entered into the room .....with his big stick .....which he always used to carry with him ...in his right hand..he went to the moving skull ..... and looked at it....it again started moving ....now in backward direction..! dadaji wasted no time and took the big stick in his hands .. clasped it with both the hands and just hammered it on to the skull ......! the skull broke into numerous pieces with just one blow.....! the pieces of those human bones scattered all around ....all over the room ....and .... and ... a rat which was hiding inside the skull just ran out of the room ......!!! making all of us burst into the loudest of laughter......!!!

						<title>Who Am I???</title>
						<link>http://www.fropper.com/post/30087</link>
						<description><![CDATA[Tagged by Sazzyme!!&nbsp; 
 
WHO AM I??&nbsp; 
 
The obvious answer to the question is that I am simple human. But of course, that does not truly answer who I am as a person. The answer to that question cannot be found on a birth certificate or driver's license, but rather only in the heart and soul of a person.  
Well i feel its one of those really &ldquo;big&rdquo; n meaningful questions one can ever ask ! &ldquo;who you are?&rdquo; and &ldquo;what you are?&rdquo; Sages have been trying to find answer to these questions .and probably most of them got the correct answer to it .....! and even if some body got it never was made known to others ..... so it always remained obscure .as it was ,as it is..... till date .....so is it like trying to find out your own self ..... a sort of peeping in ..... introspection ...... is it ? but this time one need not have to go to the Himalayas or any other higher peaks to find an answer....! this time that sacred place is d Fropper itself ! and yes why it shouldn&rsquo;t be......? Fropper is indeed like demi God to people all around here....it is making people to come together,share our feelings ,our emotions,our thoughts ....spread the message of love....amongst one and other involved ..... and to the ..... universal brotherhood or sisterhood.....n above all friend hood......! its d biggest and most important of all relations that ever exist on this earth...... the true friendship... spreading d message of love across between each other.....! if am not exaggerating..... ! Fropper is for love &amp; friendship ......and indeed am here for love and the meg of love to all my friends .....!&nbsp; 
 
Why am I here on fropper? Do I really know d reason? Well,it is the thing that I am now trying to explore - trying to see my own self and let my all pals -my buddies know the real me in my own words ! and express the me in &hellip;my self&hellip; I think it is the climax of my being on fropper all these days.......! so far I have seen all my friends &amp; tried to know them, may be as much as they tried-as much as i tried but what an idea yaar.......! it is a real test of my life time! I am trying to know myself......! I know it is not possible to be absolutely honest but let me at least try to see myself in my own reflection &ndash; in the gloss of my life&hellip; I mean the mirror of my own identity&hellip; .......!!! it is a try ... and I am gonna be honest!!  
Here it goes&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;.&nbsp; 
 
1) Well so first of all I must admit that I am for love ,the essence of my existence is love .and love in its purest form - indelible love - undiluted love ,absolutely concentrated form of love !!! its that divine feeling....the divine emotion .....u really cant put in words&hellip;one has to feel!!&nbsp; 
 
2) One who has nothing but love in him/her has to be an emotional person  
without one being emotional - love cant be exist , its like two sides of a coin ,  
we cant separate them self - they will always be there side by side...... so yes, am emotional intensely emotional. Well friends ,dont my big eyes reflect that .....? my friends say I have expressive eyes&hellip;.people also say in general that - emotional people have big eyes I don&rsquo;t know how far its true or people with big eyes are often emotional.. hahahaha..  
 
3) A person who has love in his/her heart and is emotional as well has to be transparent like an open book ......! and well friends .....yes ....thats me u simply have to go through the pages to read me - to know the real me....! effortlessly am open &amp; I am absolutely transparent nothing absolutely to hide - conceal and after all you never hide anything from your friends dear.....!&nbsp; 
 
4) A person who is for love, who is emotional , who is transparent also has to be honest and sincere - all these qualities in a person are totally interlinked . Love is the emotion that brings in these very fine aspects bundled to tune in with others having the same tuning.....! and that is why I tune in with all of you my dear friends!!! Dont u think so?&nbsp; 
 
5) Now a person who has all the above listed things - well qualities in him/her has again has to be a sensitive human being...yes am very very sensitive - i cant be blunt to anybody and I don&rsquo;t expect others also to be blunt to me. Sensitivity ....if it is reflected by sensitivity again it multiplies ,manifolds into a long lasting bond - a bond of love ,a bond of true friendship and thats what I stand for.......! the message fropper is constantly giving us - the message of friendship. - the real &amp; sincere ......message of love &amp; true friendship...... !&nbsp; 
 
6) A person who goes by these very virtues is again loyal ,so am loyal to all my people I know and i am friendly with I am very loyal to all my buddies around here and every where and am fun loving too!!&nbsp; 
 
7) Am alert and thoughtful .....and know how to use my mental faculty ...... logically and thats what exactly an intelligent person is......! I make use of that faculty fully also ,in the most positive manner &amp; put my heart also at the same time into it and really enjoy what am doing and am creative and thats exactly what I like to do and I do......!!!&nbsp; 
 
8) I like to &ldquo;Romance&rdquo; with the life !! Yes .. I truly and really love life as it is - as it has come to me - as God has given it to me and the way he has blessed me&hellip;!!!!&nbsp; 
 
9) Spirituality naturally comes to the person who loves life,so it comes naturally to me as well! When you believe in God ,when u believe in love it implies that you are a spiritual person the spirit inside you is alive......!!! the soul inside you is active and positively active......! and I do believe in healthy mind, in healthy body!&nbsp; 
 
10) I have tremendous sense of self respect for myself ,in fact I respect the other person and his/her feelings too and don&rsquo;t wanna hurt anyone&rsquo;s feelings coz life is same and as important to me to others too...  
 
11) I love music,Its my passion,,I like to dance it keeps me going...Its the physical expression of being happy in mind.......when ur body starts moving in rhythm ...... thats the dance......! and music is nothing but a moving feel of happiness ...... and happiness is the real beauty and what is beauty? Its nothing but a total harmony with your own self.......!!! .. and music truly does justice to this inner feeling in me.. to say ....yes am happy.....! music makes my heart feel happy and keeps my mind cooool n composed!!  
 
12) I always hear people say that - &rdquo; I am a God fearing person.......&rdquo; well I often wonder , why do we fear God? Does this carry any meaning? Well I would not like to hurt their feelings - who say so,they say it for the reasons best known to them but here I differ from them - I am a God loving person n respect one and all and their feelings to that God! What ever cast or religion he/she is&hellip;its on the same platform we all are in.&nbsp; 
 
13) One other truth in me that I love to share with you is I really I love to travel.......! I love to travel in my own country-Theres soo much to explore!! I would love to travel by road!!!&nbsp; 
 
 
14) I love gardening&hellip;..being close to nature!!! I Love to hear the sound of river flowing&hellip; rolling free, the birds chirping..love all water bodies- sea,river,waterfalls,lake&hellip;.maybe because am a Piscean!!!&nbsp; 
 
15) I love to sing&hellip;but&hellip;my younger 1 goes mad when I start singing&hellip;  
She tells me &ndash; mumma can I sing for you? Well she is a good singer!&nbsp; 
 
16) I am young at heart!!&nbsp; 
 
17) Love kids!! Wanna become a grandmom soon!!&nbsp; 
 
18) I like to surf the Internet .....and I do it regularly ....it gives me a chance to interact with the world around me - interact with my dear and dearest friends miles n miles away from me but who are very near to my heart........!!!&nbsp; 
 
19) I love my pets&hellip;&rsquo;Leo&rsquo;, &lsquo;Zippo&rsquo; &amp; &lsquo;Bozzo&rsquo;! Leo the pure bred Lab , Zippo the the mixed breed of Lab &amp; country , Bozzo the dalmation!!  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
20) The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes!&nbsp; 
To add... 
 
Here are my few negative traits..&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;  
 
21) I have been trying hard to kick a habit of puffing away to glory&hellip;I think I would be successful soon!! [you gotta give a time frame for kicking that one&hellip;can't keep playing footsie here about wanting to kick the habit..... but the game is so interesting that the football match goes on!!!!!]&nbsp; 
 
22) I am moody at times..when things don&rsquo;t work my way&hellip;[it must be the ageing factor]&nbsp; 
 
23) I am stubborn in my decisions&hellip;..&nbsp; 
 
24) that&rsquo;s all I can think of &hellip;&hellip;rest I leave it to my friends to tell me when they get to meet me&hellip;.  
 
25) I Tag :-&nbsp; 
 
1) 113Seashells , 2) shortytall , 3) MiddleEastK , 4) Anumole 5) Bda007

						<title>A ' Woman' I Would Like To Be Reborn As And Why?</title>
						<link>http://www.fropper.com/post/29320</link>
						<description><![CDATA[Time was changing, we were growing up&hellip;. Rajesh khanna was slowly fading away, though holding d ground but a new angry young man&hellip;. Amitabh Bachhan was emerging very fast on d horizon&hellip;&hellip; cinema &hellip;the grapevine says is the reflection of society&rsquo;s psyche&hellip;..for the first time Jaya Bhaduri was getting recognition as an actress with &lsquo;brains&rsquo;&hellip;away from those stereo typed ones &hellip;the &ldquo;rona dhona&rdquo; fame heroines of yesteryears&hellip;.taste of d masses was showing change in almost every field&hellip;and the change was palpable&hellip; The heady and stylish 70s were making waves&hellip;. Time was getting colorful&hellip;.&hellip;!. I feel the change that characterized 70s &hellip; was for the first time since independence &hellip; never before the world in general and our country in particular experienced this quantum of drastic change which was creeping in slowly and slowly &hellip;. In society, science and more so on personal level&hellip;.Man landing on the moon&hellip; Neil Armstrong&hellip; created a sort of history by being the first man to be on the moon&hellip;.! The 1971 war was just over&hellip;.operation &ldquo;cactus and Lily&rdquo;&hellip;. And Mrs indira Gandhi made a history by winning it through n through &hellip;.to the extent that shri atal bihari Vajpayee &hellip;in opposition went to the extent of calling her a goddess durga&hellip;!&nbsp; 
 
I feel &ldquo;change&rdquo; was basically the theme for 70s &hellip; things were changing slowly and steadily everywhere&hellip;. And the most important thing was d change was right from top to bottom&hellip; the fashion went right deep into the society&hellip;. Bell bottoms &hellip;I still remember those pants !&nbsp; 
 
At home in 1972 Kiran Bedi became the first woman IPS police officer&hellip; it was again a very big change&hellip; in a male dominated indian society a woman from an ordinary middle class back groung &hellip;making it to civil services .. and that too IPS&hellip;.! Was something that was never heard of&hellip; she was a path maker for we girls then&hellip; I was also coming of age at that very time&hellip; when girls of my age started standing infront of mirrors for d most of d time of d day ! &hellip;. I stopped doing it&hellip; ! yes I stopped visualizing myself as a pretty good looking heroine&hellip;. May be mumtaz ! because this woman for the first time in my life had already made an impact on my &ldquo;emerging&rdquo; mind&hellip;.the mind that was coming of &ldquo;age&rdquo;&hellip;. And I had this woman Kiran Bedi on my mind since then&hellip;.! I wd often wonder how would she look like in a police officers uniform ? and may be at subconscious level &hellip; I was myself dreaming to be somebody different from the routine rut&hellip;.and here this ordinary woman Kiran Bedi &hellip;.as if she was some girl just next door&hellip; just like me&hellip; and making this big and different that almost every house hold had her name on their tongue&hellip;. Though parents openly crticised such a career&hellip;but in their hearts&hellip;.heart of hearts&hellip; they also wanted their daughters to be a Kiran Bedi&hellip;.!!! Yes I could see that shine&hellip;.that sparkle in their eyes !! &hellip; people may say a thousand lies&hellip;.but their actions never lie&hellip; I could read that appreciation in their actions&hellip;.! So this was d beginning of this fascination&hellip;and appreciation for kiran bedi&hellip;. And it only grew with time&hellip;.as Kiran Bedi kept growing in her career &hellip;.my fascination for her also kept growing&hellip;. In my mind&hellip; unknowingly&hellip;! Though I was in a very very different situation&hellip;.i was not at all in a position to do something&hellip;.coz of same lod world traditions&hellip;.in d name of culture&hellip;.where a woman is always a sufferer&hellip;I was also suffering &hellip;.mutely&hellip; I had no voice to speak&hellip;. And even if I had&hellip; who would listen&hellip;? Forget that&hellip;. Even bother for what I speak&hellip;.women are supposed to be the guardians of culture&hellip;.traditions&hellip;and well I was supposed to do all &ldquo;that&rdquo;&hellip;.and I was doing &ldquo;that&rdquo;  
And here was d first lady IPS police officer saying &ldquo; I dare&hellip;.&rdquo; &hellip; I would not be exaggerating if I say here that I instantly became her fan &hellip;. Or was it an outcome of that frustration &hellip;. Or the &ldquo;change&rdquo;&hellip;. In the system manifesting&hellip;. Well I wonder&hellip;.but it was there&hellip;.to be there for ever&hellip;! And it is there &hellip;.still there&hellip;. But I couldn&rsquo;t change the things &hellip;.i couldn&rsquo;t change the thinking of &ldquo;my own&rdquo; people&hellip;. It therefore always remained in my mind&hellip;in my heart &hellip;. That look I say that I am helpless woman&hellip; succumbing to the demands of society &hellip; so called age old values&hellip; and here is a woman who at least has d courage to say&hellip;.&rdquo; I dare&hellip;.&rdquo;&nbsp; 
 
My second encounter with KB is on the account of domestic marital life&hellip; well I mean the similarity between both of us&hellip;. And here also she went ahead &hellip;.far ahead of me&hellip; I kept dreaming of doing that all my life , but could never gather the courage to do it&hellip;.and she did it&hellip;her first marriage was a disaster&hellip;.. where she discarded the man in her life &hellip;as he was just another MCP &hellip;.! Well ,U all know what it stands for&hellip;.! And here I was &hellip; a poor cow&hellip;and cowed down&hellip;.mutely giving in to all the demands or tortures of my ?better half &hellip;and here this kiran again goes ahead and breaks off such a relation &hellip;. By herself&hellip; as if she was doing all those things &hellip;.i always wanted to do&hellip;. But could never do &hellip; d will to do was there&hellip;..but courage required to do all those things was never there&hellip;..so kiran kept on going in my mind deeper &hellip;day by day&hellip;..&nbsp; 
 
Then came her second marriage&hellip; where her husband Brij Bedi &hellip;. Was just an ideal companion to her&hellip;. They never engaged themselves in any marital ceremony&hellip;! Just went to the Shiva temple and took seven rounds&hellip;! And jointly hosted a reception&hellip;.! Wow ! &hellip;and he complemented her in her life&hellip;in her career&hellip;. They decided to stay away from each other&hellip;..under compulsion from their career demands&hellip;! What an ideal understanding&hellip;.! Never heard of it in conventional Indian society&hellip;..! And here I was &hellip;. Understanding ? and that too with a husband ? are you joking ??? what more do I say &hellip;.well u all know what a routine husband is in Indian ideal society &hellip;.!!! And I was there a poor cow.. pativrata stree &hellip;. !!! and carrying on d burden of tradition and culture on my shoulders&hellip; and pelvis&hellip;.for my pati parmeshwar&hellip;.???.. All alone&hellip;.with nobody with me&hellip;. Nobody for me &hellip;.. a guardian of riti &hellip; sabhyata ! ha ah a ! there can be no joke worse than this&hellip;living&hellip;leading an unwanted life&hellip;and here Kiran was just doing that &hellip;.which I would always dream of&hellip;. So she went deeper&hellip;. Further deep &hellip;. Almost reaching my heart&hellip;! My SA node [sino-atrial node.....where d beating of heart starts&hellip;.!] Where that spark of life&hellip;..the beating impulse originates&hellip;.!&nbsp; 
 
Kiran was again just like me a sportswoman all through her life &hellip;.. played tennis&hellip;..well here there is a slight difference&hellip;..coz I played badminton&hellip;.! But this was certainly not the reason for my life to be all that bad&hellip;..!!! I was made helpless by my circumstances&hellip;. But I never stopped thinking&hellip; I never stopped dreaming&hellip;. Those who dream &hellip;always live their life&hellip;. May be a bit differently &hellip;in their own world&hellip; away from the real one &hellip;.but atleast they do&hellip;..!&nbsp; 
 
Like me again of course with a slight difference again&hellip;..kiran has a daughter&hellip;. Ladka nahi ladki &hellip;.! And me also has two daughters&hellip;.my younger one is really doing very good in studies&hellip;and I have v high hopes from her&hellip;. May be I am visualizing Kiran in her&hellip;? Who knows&hellip;.! Kiran&rsquo;s daughter is married and is busy in community service&hellip; mine has very big plans for herself &hellip;.career wise&hellip; but its too early to say something as to what she will exactly do in her career or future life&hellip;.lets see&hellip;.  
One always wondered that after all why on earth that Kiran chose police service as a career? Well we can only speculate &hellip;. She had said in one of her interviews &hellip;..which I had read &hellip;. That &ldquo; I don&rsquo;t see police service as only a punitive career&hellip;.infact it stands for social welfare&hellip;.but tough welfare&hellip;a place where I can command welfare&hellip; I can demand welfare&hellip;and most importantly I can produce welfare&rdquo; this shows her commitment to her objective in public life&hellip; always of course with honesty &hellip;and yes &hellip;honestly &hellip;! For which she was always known for&hellip;and even today also in her programme on live media &ldquo;hamaari adalat&rdquo; she is doing her duty to society with honesty &hellip;.and honestly&hellip;..!!! as I would put it again &hellip;.i always wanted to do it&hellip;&hellip; speaking out loudly to all the people &hellip;.. that yes, I suffered &hellip;. But you please don&rsquo;t ruin your lives&hellip;.submitting mutely &hellip;.in the name of culture&hellip;.in the name of tradition &hellip;.. aadarsh bhaartiya naari&hellip;.!&nbsp; 
 
She was a lecturer in the earlier part of her career like me&hellip;.I was a teacher &hellip;well am still a teacher&hellip;.and she is a teacher to the whole world now&hellip;! Am trying to may be re live my life &hellip;..through children I teach &hellip;.! I teach them those very lessons &hellip;..life taught me&hellip;. And there Kiran is showing the world through all her actions&hellip;.she is a practical teacher &hellip;! And I am a theoretical &hellip;.! But yes am doing what I can &hellip;..whichever way I can&hellip; to follow the footsteps of Kiran &hellip;.. by all possible ways&hellip;.. or is it a way of trying to relive my life&hellip;.! May be in the shadow of Kiran&hellip;.!!! I wonder&hellip;&nbsp; 
 
During her career with traffic deptt of delhi police &hellip;she once lifted and challaned the car of nobody else &hellip;but the prime minister of India Mrs Indira Gandhi&hellip;! One can see the courage and confidence kiran had in herself and her actions&hellip;&hellip; ! and after you see all this in a lady of ur times&hellip; no woman can help herself&hellip;.to become die hard fan of kiran&hellip;.and I proudly say so &hellip;..! she also remained associated with insurgency hit mizoram &hellip; as advisor to the Governor of chandigarh &hellip; she was fondly called as &ldquo;crane bedi&rdquo; for her dutiful lifting and towing away of wrongly parked vehicles&hellip;wherever she was posted&hellip;.!!!&nbsp; 
 
Among her other positions are the ones with UN, as DG of Narcotics Control Bureau &hellip;.and countless others&hellip;but whrever she went she always made all the &ldquo;men&rdquo; follow her &hellip;.duty wise &hellip;.commitment wise &hellip;. By being an example herself &hellip;.men were made to follow and they all did&hellip; !!! now this something really too much in our so called male dominated society &hellip; but kiran did it and did all the things with poise and that differently distinct and unique grace &hellip;. ! that made her &hellip;.always stand apart &hellip;! And yes she always stood apart &hellip;. 
&nbsp; 
The most important part of her career in my view point was as an Inspector general of Tihar jail in delhi&hellip;..she will always be remembered for this stint of her&hellip;as she for the first time changed the complete and overall management of jail administration &hellip;..by giving a new lease of life to convicts through meditation and spiritualism &hellip;..following the footsteps of great saint Mahatma Gandhi&hellip;.who always said &hellip;hate the bad element in a criminal don&rsquo;t hate the person in him&hellip;.bring out the human in him &hellip;.and you will change his life&hellip;!!! She brought in the yoga , vipaasna meditation, redressed the inmates complaints against the administration and brought about the very famous and highly acclaimed &ldquo;Jail reforms&rdquo;&hellip; and it was during her tenure as IG of Tihar jail , that she was nominated for Megasaysay award &hellip;.and she was indeed awarded it&hellip;.which she rightly always deserved &hellip;. My joy knew no bounds when I heard this news &hellip;.on TV&hellip; and I infact congratulated myself &hellip;.! Now this is some fan going to the extreme of imagining herself to be a Kiran herself&hellip;..!!!&nbsp; 
 
During her service she was a recipient of many awards and medals for distinguished and meritorious service, gallantry, awards from social organizations, and &hellip;various other bodies &hellip;. Much to the envy of her male counterparts &hellip; ! but in the fag end of her career something came across her way &hellip;. In this male dominated society &hellip;. I wept at that &hellip;when I heard that she was not appointed as the commissioner of delhi police&hellip;.and some other male member of the police force was chosen for the job&hellip;. This was the most disappointing part &hellip;. She always deserved it &hellip;. But a woman &hellip;an honest woman who was fighting the battle all by herself &hellip;.all these years &hellip;. Like arjun in Mahabharata &hellip;. ! but then as we see the teaching of our great scriptures itself&hellip;. That he is the real hero who fights the battle &hellip;for the cause &hellip;. And doesn&rsquo;t bother or think for being victorious or has the fear of losing it &hellip;..and fights for the cause like a true warrior &hellip;.as Jataayu in Ramayan was a better warrior &hellip;than any body else &hellip; because he faught even when death was sure&hellip;and did his duty to defend sita &hellip;.! He had no fear of death and offended ravana &hellip;.!&nbsp; 
 
Kiran is still active after she took premature retirement after she was denied d post of commissioner delhi police&hellip;..she is anchoring on TV , she is associated with two NGOs the Navjyoti and India vision foundation &hellip; and even after retirement also doing her duty of course in a different role &hellip;.now without police uniform &hellip;as a social ambassador&hellip;.&nbsp; 
 
Now a woman &hellip;an individual &hellip; who stands apart from rest of the crowd &hellip;. Who is seen as an achiever with an awe &hellip;b y everybody &hellip;.and who was role model right from my formative years &hellip;. I resembled her in so many ways &hellip; where I could identify my self with her&hellip;. But the only difference ..and a difference of great magnitude &hellip;. As a valley that exists between Kiran and me was and is &hellip; she always listened to her conscience &hellip;.her conscious &hellip; not just for the sake of carrying forward social or human or personal values &hellip;but something she always did she always wanted to with all the logic with her &hellip;and whenever you do something with an inherent logic attached to it&hellip;. You are never wrong &hellip;. Even if you don&rsquo;t success instantly &hellip;.. you are bound to win at the end &hellip;.you are bound to be a winner &hellip;which kiran is and will always be &hellip;..!  
I for myself could never accomplish even a fraction of what kiran did or achieved &hellip;.but I always held and hold her in very high esteem &hellip;.. I always wanted to be one like her &hellip;.. but I was always bound and restricted by my my compulsions and inhibitions &hellip;. Social or may be personal &hellip;.or may be familial &hellip;.in the form of family traditions &hellip;or our social fabric in general and my life&rsquo;s reflection in it in particular &hellip;.. I could never fulfill this in this incarnation &hellip;. So I would request God &hellip;.that if He wishes to give a rebirth to me in human form &hellip;..may he give it to me as kiran bedi &hellip;..!!!&nbsp; 
 
 
 
 
 
But does taking birth only gives you that courage or zest to do those very things which kiran did to achieve this much height in her life&hellip;.well the answer is NO &hellip;.God only gives you birth in any particular form &hellip;.. and it is you who strive and work to achieve the goal &hellip;. And we know when we help ourselves &hellip;.God helps us &hellip;. ! so it is not only a question of being reborn as kiran &hellip;.i want God to give me that courage &hellip;. That conviction &hellip; those nerves of steel &hellip;.. that wisdom &hellip;. And that very self respect &hellip;. And all those qualities as well &hellip;..which distinctly and differently differentiate kiran from every woman in the world &hellip;.from every man in the world&hellip;&hellip; I want to be reborn as &quot;Kiran Bedi&quot; with all her qualities &hellip;if God gives me chance &hellip;&hellip;.!!!&nbsp;

						<title>The Wonders Of Banana</title>
						<link>http://www.fropper.com/post/25161</link>
						<description><![CDATA[ A professor at CCNY for a physiological psych class told his class about bananas. He said the expression &quot;going bananas&quot; is from the effects of bananas on the brain. Read on:&nbsp;  A professor at CCNY for a physiological psych class told his class about bananas. He said the expression &quot;going bananas&quot; is from the effects of bananas on the brain. Read on:   Never, put your banana in the refrigerator! !!  This is interesting.  After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again.   Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.   Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.   But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.   Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.   PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.   Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.   Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.   Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school ( England ) were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.   Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.   Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.   Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.   Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.   Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.   Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.   Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.   Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.   Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a &quot;cooling&quot; fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.   Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.   Smoking &amp;Tobacco Use: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking.. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal..   Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels.. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack..   Strokes: According to research in The New England Journal of Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!   Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!   So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, &quot;A banana a day keeps the doctor away!&quot;   PASS IT ON TO YOUR FRIENDS  PS: Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time! I will add one here; want a quick shine on our shoes?? Take the INSIDE of the banana skin, and rub directly on the shoe...polish with dry cloth. Amazing fruit !!!  ]]></description>

						<title>Barcodes!</title>
						<link>http://www.fropper.com/post/24888</link>
						<description><![CDATA[Dear All,   The whole world is scared of China made &quot;black hearted goods&quot;   Can you differentiate which one is made in Taiwan or China?   Let me tell you ...   The first 3 digits of the bar code 690 - 691 - 692 is Made in China &amp; 471 is Made in Taiwan.       This is our right to know, but the government and related department never educate the public, therefore we have to rescue ourselves.   Nowadays, Chinese businessmen know that consumers do not prefer products &quot;Made in China&quot;, so they won't show us which is made from which country.   However, you may now refer to the bar code, if the first 3 digits is 690 - 691 - 692 then it is made in China.   00~09 - USA &amp; CANADA  30~37 - FRANCE  40~44 - GERMANY  49 - JAPAN  50 - UK  471 - Taiwan  690~692 - China]]></description>

						<title>Simple Effective Treatment For Diabetics</title>
						<link>http://www.fropper.com/post/24886</link>
						<description><![CDATA[Hi Friends! I got&nbsp;this article from a friend of mine through&nbsp;email &amp; thought&nbsp; of sharing it with you all........&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Last month in one of TV program I learnt of a treatment of Sugar (Diabetes). Since I am diabetic, I tried it and it was very useful and my Sugar is in control now. In fact I have already reduced my medicine.   Take two fresh pieces of Lady Finger (Bhindi) and remove/cut both ends of each piece. Also put a small cut in the middle and put these two pieces in glass of water. Cover the glass and keep it at room temperature during night. Early morning, before breakfast simply remove two pieces of lady finger (bhindi) from the glass and drink that water in empty stomach.  Keep doing it on daily basis.   Within two weeks, you will see remarkable results in reduction of your SUGAR.  My sister has got rid of her diabetes. She was on Insulin for a few years, but after taking the lady fingers every morning for a few months, she has stopped Insulin but continues to take the lady fingers every day.   But she chops the lady fingers into fine pieces in the night, adds the water and drinks it all up the next morning.   Please try it as it will not do you any harm even if it does not do much good to you, but U have to keep taking it for a few months before U see results, as most cases might be chronic..................  --------------------------------]]></description>
