Fw: Lovely reasoning...must read

Dear Comrades
Here is yet another wonderful treasure that I received and want to share with you all .
Perhaps it can serve as a much needed " hand brake" in our vehicles as we go full throttle and accelerate unmindful of its aftereffects on the fellow passengers in the car of our lives!!!
With warm remembrances-AMBUNAIR

Faneendra Kumar
An Algerian who says he can eat light bulbs, candles, sawdust,
nails and over 1000 boiled eggs in one sitting is itching to enter the record
books and earn the pride of his compatriots.
Salim Haini, alias El Akoul (The Eater), discovered his digestive talents eight
years ago during the Ramadan month of fasting and prayer, when he found the
enormous meals he ate after sunset did little to satisfy his stomach.
Since then his appetite has steadily grown.
"I've eaten two barrels of olive oil in one go, 40 loaves of bread, 75
bowls of chorba (Algerian soup)..." Haini told Reuters. "I once ate
an entire roast lamb weighing 35 kilos."
Like most young Algerians, Haini is unemployed and on some days he goes without
a proper meal.
His cravings once got him into trouble when he awoke hungry, stole into his
uncle's vegetable patch and devoured 50 kg of lettuces, said Haini's manager
Karim Rahal.
Friends and relatives in his home town of Ain Defla suggested he put his
appetite to work and enter competitions.
"I'm now the eating champion in 30 wilayas (provinces) across the
country," said Haini. "God willing, the authorities will help me
travel abroad and become the first Arab to eat his way into the Guinness Book
of World Records."
"This would be a true honor for me, for the Algerian people and for all
Arab countries. The record books are not only for foreigners. They are there
for everyone."
He said people from China, Belgium and Britain had encouraged him to eat for
Algeria but he lacked the necessary sponsorship.
EGG RACE
Competition will be tough. The record for the world's strangest diet is held by
Frenchman Michel Lotito who over the years consumed 128 bicycles, 15
supermarket trolleys, six chandeliers, two beds and a pair of skis.
Lotito reportedly suffered no ill effects from his eating and once said bananas
and eggs made him sick.
Eggs happen to be Haini's favorite food - he said he once ate 1500 of them in
under three hours.
At a commercial center in Algiers, dozens of curious shoppers gathered to
witness the goatee-bearded 25-year-old apply his digestive talents to a
table-load of light bulbs, animal fat and newspapers.
"I do these displays to satisfy my stomach a little," he said.
"I am never ill - in fact I feel on top form afterwards."
"It would be easy to invite him for dinner," Fatiha, 56, said after
the show. "I could just feed him newspaper, dud light bulbs and a raw
potato. But I'd never take him to a restaurant. He'd ruin me."
Gasps erupted from the audience at the shopping center as Haini bit a neon
strip light in half then chewed and swallowed the glass.
Not everyone was impressed.
"Why didn't he eat the whole bulb?" asked one small girl.
STILL HUNGRY: Salim Haini, alias El Akoul (The Eater) eats a handful of sawdust during an exhibition in Cheraga, west of Algiers. Haini is hoping to enter the record books with his peculiar eating talents, which includes a meal of light bulbs, candles, sawdust, nails and over 1000 boiled eggs.

Saray coming to my point , the story is interesting.
Ashok was telling u , our company declared a layoff ,,, putting , close and near workmen and co-staff to worries.
The management told me to pick up 75 employees for layoff , ,,, infact it was a very difficult task ,,,
Laid off .... 2 weeks gone , ,,, no work to do ,,, impatient ,,,, calls to mobile ,,,, some requesting " when they can be back to work " ,,, some " demanding work and explaination."
At one point today morning , I was receiveing a missed call ...., here it is common.....they will not loose my one rupee . So in turn I called back , it was call from a nice , good workmen who was given 2 weeks (AR) REST , no pay no work ... his wife shouting on him.... he shouting on me.. I shouted back .... I do not know if my relation would be normal even if he is back to work....

Dear Chandra
Yes indeed the times we live in are tough ..where in we have to keep self starting ourselves by periodically sharpening our saw ( retooling /reskilling) so that we always necessarilty shape up to the tough times around and so need not ship out and get kickstarted by others!!!
We all learn and grew from the ashes at some point of our lives - dont we Chandra???
As they say ," The stones people hurl with harsh intentions, men go on to make monuments out of it!!!"
Last 16+ years in business management in multiple markets across West & South India has perhaps caused many a paradigm shift within me, humbled me & enabling me to evolve and grow from my admittedly raw days at school!!!
As they say : If some one is wise today , it means he was once a fool. And if someone is being foolish today , then it means only one thing: He is well on the road to wisdom. So there are only two ways of looking @ Life and its travellers . And at the end of the day we all finally become equals in this biggest levelling game called LIFE!!!
With warm regards-AMBUNAIR ( SCS-Xth 1983)
