MY DEAR MANOJ!!SHOCKED BY YOUR SUDDEN DEMISE!!
































SARDARJIs-NOT A JOKE!!


myFRIEND told me the following incident which I wish to share with you.
It has had a deep impact on my thinking.
In the diwali vacation, couple of friends had gone to Delhi. They rented a taxi for local sight-seeing.
The driver was an old Sardar, and boys being boys, pals began cracking Sardarji jokes, just to insinuate the old man.
But to their surprise, the fellow remained unperturbed.
At the end of the sight-seeing, they paid up the hire-charges.
The Sardar returned the change.
Moreover, he gave each one of them one rupee extra and said, (in Hindi, of course), '
'Son, since morning you have been telling Sardarji jokes. I listened to them all and let me tell you, some of them were in a very bad taste.
Still, I don't mind coz I know that you are young blood and are yet to see the world.
But I have just one request.
Here I am giving you one rupee each. Give it to the first Sardar beggar that you come across in this city."
my friend continued, " That one rupee coin is still with me. I couldn't find a single Sardar begging on the streets of Delhi ."
Friends, we all love sardar jokes.
But the fact of matter is that
Sikhs are one of the most prosperous and diversified communities in the world.
The secret behind their universal success, according to me, is their
willingness to do any job with utmost dedication.
A Sardar will drive a truck or set up a roadside garage or a dhaba, but he will never beg on the streets.

WARREN BUFFET

some very interesting aspects of his life:
1) He bought his first share at age 11 and he now regrets that he started too late!
2) He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering newspapers.
3) He still lives in the same small 3 bedroom house in mid-town Omaha , that he bought after he got married 50 years ago. He says that he has everything he needs in that house. His house does not have a wall or a fence.
4) He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or security people around him. 5) He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world's largest private jet company.
6) His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63 companies. He writes only one letter each year to the CEOs of these companies, giving them goals for the year. He never holds meetings or calls them on a regular basis.
7) He has given his CEO's only two rules.
Rule number 1: do not lose any of your share holder's money.
Rule number 2: Do not forget rule number 1.
8) He does not socialize with the high society crowd. His past time after he gets home is to make himself some pop corn and watch television.
9) Bill Gates, the world's richest man met him for the first time only 5 years ago. Bill Gates did not think he had anything in common with Warren Buffet. So he had scheduled his meeting only for half hour. But when Gates met him, the meeting lasted for ten hours and Bill Gates became a devotee of Warren Buffet.
10) Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on his desk.
11) His advice to young people:
Stay away from credit cards and invest in yourself.

PG Diploma in Geriatrics Care (Dip. in. GC)
Geriatrics is that branch of medicine dealing with the diagnosis and treatment of illnesses due to ageing. Geriatrics being an emerging field and Geriatric services and welfare services to senior citizens in an organized way being relatively new, there is dearth of qualified personnel in the field.
A number of new institutions for the care and protection of senior citizens will also be established in the years to come. Therefore, Doctors, nursing staff, medical support staff and social work personnel acquiring additional qualifications in the area of Geriatric services and Gerontechnology are likely to have better employment opportunities in India and abroad.
The medical speciality of Geriatrics began in Western countries for the medical and psychological support of the senior citizens. This specialization has been a necessity in those countries due to the social and family environment prevailing there.
The modern family set up in India too warrants the need of Geriatrics as one of the most important fields of medical and social work professions.
