Girls don’t watch cricket??
India unexpectedly won the T20 world cup final. A huge reason for them to celebrate.. of course. Most of us must've bunked classes or offices to watch this match. Those who missed watching it live don’t know what they’ve missed. I’m afraid they’ll never know. Anyways, most of the boys think that girls are not supposed to be sport enthusiasts, leave alone cricket. But a good number of girls were watching the match at our office cafeteria on the day of the finals. So the much touted theory of 'girls don't watch cricket' is NOT true.

Mind your Manners
Granted that people grow up in different environments, and that Miss Manners' books aren't exactly flying off the shelves these days. Granted that I have high expectations of others (None-the-less, I myself tend to be rude at times).
I find it funny how some people (including me) think that by being rude, they'll get what they want?! Explain that one?
Earlier last month, I used to take the company car to be dropped home. Ms impolite demanded to be dropped first. Had she been a bit polite, I wouldn’t have had a problem with that. And she had a defender by her side.
People tend to sympathize with those whose guilt they share. So, by defending the rudeness of others, they betray their own vested interest in not being blamed for having behaved similarly. If you doubt that anyone could be morally weak enough to defend the rude, watch what happens the next time you stand up to a bully. Bullies of course won't respond to anything less than nastiness and power. So, when you tell the story of how you stood up to a rude person and won, watch and see if your audience doesn't call you rude. See if they don't also ignore the bigger rudeness you were responding to. By chiding you, they encourage you to keep quiet and be a victim. Such remarks only serve the aggressor's interests.
Wise men say that people who are polite seem to shock everyone around them. So the next time you come across people who are being a real goofs, just try to be super nice to them.. it'll either:
a) make them look incredibly stupid
or..
b) get them very mad!
Either way its fun to see what response you get..
Reminder: Don't forget to use the three golden words you were taught in school -
Sorry, Thankyou, Please

Did you know?
Absolutely nothing happened between 3 and 13 September 1752
In September 1752 the Julian calendar was replaced with the Gregorian calendar in Great Britain and its American colonies. The Julian calendar was 11 days behind the Gregorian calendar, so 14 September got to follow 2 September on the day of the change. The result was that between 3 and 13 September, absolutely nothing happened!
The calendar switch also influenced the way George Washington's birthday is celebrated. He was born on 11 February 1731, but the anniversary of his birth is on 22 February because of the 11 days eliminated from the calendar switch. At the same time, New Year's Day was changed from 25 March to 1 January, thus according to the new calendar, Washington was born in 1732.

Value has a value only if its value is truly valued
In a class of 100, the professor asked, “ Who wants this 500 rupee note?”
Hands started going up. He then proceeded to crumple the note, and asked the same question. The hands were still up.
We all can learn a valuable lesson from this.
No matter what the professor did to the note, they still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth the same amount.
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled and ground into dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, we will never lose our value.
Each one of us is special.
Don’t ever forget it!
Never let yesterday’s disappointments overshadow tomorrow’s dreams.
