BODY LANGUAGE


//Body Language//


We all do communicate with one another through our look as well as what we do say and how do we sound. In fact what our body is doing while we are talking (i.e. the body language) could often play much greater part in the communication than we do think.

*Most obvious form of the paralanguage is the body language or the kinesics . This is a language of the gestures, expressions, and the postures. In North America, for the instance, we commonly use arms and shake hands and say good-bye, point, count, express an excitement, beckon, warn away, a threaten, etc. In fact, we will learn many subtle variations of each of the gestures discussed above and make use of these gestures situation. We will use head to either say yes or to say no, to smile, frown, and wink acknowledgement or flirtation. The head and the shoulder in combination may shrug to indicating that we do not know something about the topic.

*The eye contactThe eye contact helps to create the better interaction and the rapport with the listeners. Always try to look at listener at the end of the sentence to reinforce a message in that sentence.

*The gestureThe gestures can help to give your voice the extra energy and the confidence Try to gesture on some of the key words – this will give the words a greater emphasis.

*The PresenceAdopt ‘Anchor Position’ whenever you do want to keep the body language calm and controlled. While sitting do keep the small of back into back of the chair. This will help and support your posture and do maintain the energy and the confident style. Aim to keep the body language open and be relaxed all the times. Physical attitude can affect the psychological attitude.

*The Movement and the SpaceBe sensitive towards the people’s space and try not to intrude into it. To achieve the report when speaking to others try to match up the levels –like either both are sitting or standing with a body angled in towards other person.

PRESENTATION SKILL


//Presentation Skills//


Remember nobody is born as natural speaker. Of course we can bawl the heads off and make heck of the noise when we were been born - but it is is not quite same!
*Greatest speakers today have not just become great overnight! They do have spent lot of time practicing reviewing and reading about the way to improve getting the specific one-to-one feedback on how to improve and also having lots of specialized training and the coaching.
*It will take time and also effort to read absorb and apply. It will also takes time and efforts to attend the training courses or the seminars and get a good professional training. If we want to differentiate yourself at the work by becoming great presenter however then it is something which is certainly worth investing the time in.
*There is the simple structure into which nearly all the presentations must fit. This comprises of the three clearly identifiable parts - Introduction followed by the main body and finally the conclusion.
*Often this is expressed as:
(a)Tell what you are going to tell them
(b)Tell them
(c)Tell what you have told them.
*The good guide for breakdown of the presentation is 10/80/10 rule - where the introduction and the conclusion are each allotted of 10% of a presentation time with a main body comprising of about 80%. For example the 30 minute presentation should have 3 minutes for introduction and conclusion each and the main body lasting for 24 minutes. This formula may be applied for any length of the presentation - as it do reflects the good breakdown from audience’s perspective.

TIME MANAGEMENT


//Time management//
Are you always sort of time? Do you often have the feeling at the end of the day that you have not accomplished enough for that day?
Time management is the key.


*Any successful business needs very good time management skills. You can accomplish difficult tasks which look like a mountain that cannot be climbed by breaking them up into smaller tasks.


*Make a list of all tasks that have to be completed over a period of time. Allocate a time frame to complete them. And try to stick to that time schedule. Reward yourself for completing them.


*Don’t put off any task. The primary reason to procrastinate is that the task could be unpleasant. Try to complete the unpleasant task first.


*Write down what you do everyday. At the end of the day analyze the list. You will be able to find out where you are wasting your time.


*The most important part of time management is to write down all the tasks that have to accomplished and number them by importance. The first task in the list is the most important and so on. Set a time frame to accomplish that task. As soon as you complete the task take it off the list.


*Examine the list each day. If some tasks become more important bring it to the top of the list. Make clear plans to carry out different tasks.


*Don’t accept tasks when you are pressurized by others, for which you have no time. Stick to the tasks that are important to you.


Stress Management
*Stress at work is inevitable. Hard to achieve targets, overbearing bosses are some of the reasons for the increased stress in work place. There are some of ways of reducing stress at the workplace.


*When you feel stressed out talk to a colleague, share a joke. Humor is one of the best stress busters.


*Exercise is another stress reliever. Take a walk. Few minutes out side the building, a change of environment will do wonders to relieve your stress. If you have a park next door it is even better. You can jog in the park for a few minutes.


*Have a cup of coffee, drink a glass of water. Relaxing few minutes away from the work environment will invigorate you.


*Another great stress buster is a short nap. This is possible for people who work at home.


*Yoga and meditation are great stress busters. Meditation takes your focus away from the cause of stress and helps you to relax completely.


*Pets often are great stress busters. There is nothing like having a dog at home. Even a pet cat or a budgerigar would be of help in reducing stress.


*Go away on a holiday with the family, to a holiday spot. The fun and frolic will help you rejuvenate.


*Several small girls in a class were shown two pictures. One picture was that of a person chopping wood and the other was that of a person reading a book. They were asked to identify who was at work and who was relaxing. All except one girl identified that person chopping wood was working and the person reading was relaxing. The teacher did not know the father of the girl who had identified the person chopping wood as relaxing, was a scientist who chopped wood for relaxation. And she was marked wrong.


*It all depends on an individual as to what relaxes him. You have to identify what relaxes you.
*If nothing works if you still think your job is stressful you can consider an alternate job.

BUSINESS COMMUNICATION--LISTIENING SKILL


//Business Communication - Listening Skills//

Listening skills are a very important part of any effective communication. Unless you carefully follow what you hear, you will not be able to respond to it effectively. Listening skills can be improved with practice.
*Listening is important whether you are having a conversation with another person or listening to a presentation.
*Listening is much more than just hearing. What you have heard should register in your mind.
*Closely follow the content and try to understand what is being said. Concentrate hard and don't let your mind wander when you are listening.
*One trick to keep focused is trying to anticipate what the speaker says, in advance. When you are having a conversation don't interrupt and talk only when the other person has stopped. It is not only bad manners to interrupt, but also adversely affects your understanding of the subject.
*Don't think of what you are going to say next, when you are listening. It is not possible to concentrate on more than one thing at the same time.
*You should try to understand at least the main points of what is being said.
*Try to mentally summarize what you are listening to.
*Try to find out what is beneficial to you from what you are listening.
*Concentrate hard
*Closely focus on the content
*Closely focus on the important ideas

LEDERSHIP SKILL DEVELOPMENT


//**LIDERSHIP SKILL DEVELOPMENT**//


The skills development is only as good as a theory behind it. In the other words, before you could do practice, you should know and understand intellectually what should have to be done.


Let us say you do have a new fax machine. You just have explained a little bit of how a machine will work, bits, bites, the group 2 and group 3, dedicated lines and the digital. In fact, you just have explained a process to your trainee. Do you say, Here, you know do it, and simply walk away or actually show them all? Sometimes, it is better to show people what to do with the demonstration before a dreaded words, You try out.

*Practice
Some of the leadership skill development efforts will require few minutes; others do take hundreds of hours. In a hundreds of hours category, we are becoming persuasive speaker. Even those with the great aptitude blessed with the large dose of the talent should practice endlessly to get really good.
On other hand, learning how to make the positive first impression it do takes less than 30 minutes since theory is not that complicated. However, one should still practice few number of times to get good at doing it.

*Motivation
The standard assessments are very good at measuring some of the things, but they cannot measure the motivation. In our development model, the person who is serious about the leadership skill development should be internally motivated to perfect a component skills required to be the transformational leader. It is unrealistic to expect any of the teacher or the coach to motivate a apathetic or a lazy to excel the leadership development.

*Feedback
The management professor have once mentioned that, "development of the leadership skills do requires feedback." Unfortunately, the behavioral feedback is commonly not done in most of the training programs.
There exists two ways to get the feedback: do it yourself or let others to do it for you. But we recommend skilled coaches who can provide the positive and negative feedback.

*Self-Mastery
This is a term for perfection to "become all that you can be." This is the special state of the mind when the skill developed runs largely in a unconscious.

sum Skills of LeadershipGetting and Giving the Information is probably important competency required of the leaders. If you cannot communicate effectively, then none other leadership skill will do compensate for this lack. First and the foremost thing is, you should be able to exchange the information effectively and accurately.

*Understanding the Group Needs and Characteristics
It is very essential that we do first understand ourselves and our own needs and the characteristics. Only then we can know and understand the other people's needs and characters. This understanding will hopefully come naturally as we mature, creeping over us like a ivy winding about the tree. By directly exploring and encouraging the discovery of these kinds of personality traits, we can do accelerate maturing of the leader, adding the fertilizer to ivy and the tree. About Understanding the Group Needs and the Characteristics.

(a)Knowing and Understanding the Group Resources.


(b)Recognize the knowledge and the use of the group resources as the major technique in bringing the group together and creating a commitment to the common goals.


(c)Recognize that the resources are theoretically limitless, and that the leader's and the group's the ability to recognize and utilized the diverse resources tremendously affects what a group can accomplish.


(d)Involve more and more people in active leadership by giving each of them a part according to his or her resources.


(e)Evaluate a impact availability of the resources has on doing the job and maintaining a group.
Controlling a Group

(f)Recognize how his own behavior will influences and can control others.

(g)Distinguish between the controlling group performance and setting an example.

(h)Identify the control as the function of group, or of the facilitator, and advantages and disadvantages of each having this responsibility.

(i)Identify the different techniques for controlling the group performance and the suitability in a different situations.

(j)Deploy the group resources to best interests of a group while encouraging the personal growth.
(k)Evaluate the leadership performance in terms of the group performance.

*Counseling.

Counseling is the private talk with someone which helps the individual to solve a personal problem. As a leader, people will do come to you with the problems. Because you are the leader, you will spot the people with problems. You cannot turn them away or will just let them suffer, because a ignored problem, if serious, almost inevitably will become a group problem. Counseling is been considered pretty difficult. The professional counselors, like the vocational counselors, clergymen, lawyers, bankers, teachers, psychiatrists and others, sometimes you will spend years learning how to counsel in their fields. People often will pay large amount of money to be counseled.


*Setting an Example
Setting an Example is the personal behavior independent of any external influences. While very simple competency on its face, none is more important. Fail to demonstrate this competency to the members of your group, and you will be doomed to the negative results. No matter how good the line you talk, if you do not match it with your behavior, you will not get any respect and will find it increasingly difficult to get a group to work with you.
It might be more difficult under some of the circumstances to set the positive example, but that will not stop you! Setting an Example is where your backbone will show. If you have the character, if your character has the integrity--that is, if who you are on outside is been lined up with who you are on inside--you will accomplish a far more than you may imagine possible. For this kind of the leader, as long as he do takes care of all his follower's needs, enjoys respect, loyalty, and love.


*Representing a Group
Representing Group is accurately communicating to the non-group members a sum of the group members ideas, feelings, etc., and vice versa. A leader should represent his team on the great variety of the issues. Some of these issues and a need for the decision representing a group interests will be known well in advance; and others will not be.
Under any of the circumstances, to faithfully represent a group, you should:
Fully understand nature of the problem.

(a)Know how a decision was been reached and be able to communicate this to others.


(b)Accurately and responsibly do communicate from and back to a original group.

(c)Realize that the other groups might derive their entire picture of the other group through you,


(d)the representative. You should be consistent, possess the integrity, and be fair to all the parties.

*Problem-Solving
Effective use of the problem-solving will do more than any other competency to advance both getting a job done and keeping a group together. It is the "umbrella" competency in all its effect on the variety of issues. The problem-solving is useful both in the group situations and in the one-on-one.

*Evaluation
Evaluation attitude is the predisposition to continually examine and analyze all our efforts. Evaluation is very critical component of cyclical learning process. It will not occur just formally at conclusion of the activities, but also informally as well, by all been involved, throughout a project or task. An Evaluation Attitude is one of the principals which form a basis of White StagLeadership Development Program.
One who will apply this attitude or the technique will be aware continually of the objectives of his learning's and will do attempt to measure his growth towards them.

*Sharing the Leadership
Sharing a Leadership translates on one level into the "styles" of the leadership. Depending upon the job and a group, certain ways for a leader to work with a group will be more appropriate than the others. It will also identifies some generic roles groups have which can be distributed among all the members.
Sharing the leadership is a key function of the leader. Ability to extend herself, to accomplish the jobs greater than a person alone can handle, is one of a key elements of the society's success today. Never has the society been so productive.

LAUGHTER-BEST MEDICINE


LAUGHTER – BEST MEDICINE
The vast body of jokes and anecdotes which relate to the medical profession, is perhaps a testimony to the psychological necessity of humour.
It is a well-known fact that health and cheerfulness mutually budget each other. We know now, that happy people get ill less often than those who are chronically miserable and anxious. Your mental attitude simply must be a hopeful one, and you must avoid worry at all costs. Worry can put you into a wheelchair with rheumatism and arthritis.
Research also shows that worry can even cause tooth decay! Unhappy feelings are known to bring about changes which upset the body’s natural calcium phosphorus balance, leading to cavities. And as for women, few things can age and affect a woman’s beauty as quickly as worry. It turns the hair grey, and in some cases, even make it fall out. It can ruin the complexion. And it can bring on all kinds of skin rashes, eruptions and pimles.
In contrast, those who se the bright side of life and remain optimistic are unlikely to go down with stress-related disorders.
It is of vital importance for those who take life too seriously to learn to laugh. Humour is at its best, its funnies when the person is down and out and yet trying to overcome his plight. Laughter is undoubtedly the best relaxant. French neurologist, Henri Rubenstein states in his research papers that even one minute of laughter can give the body upto 45 minutes of therapeutic relaxation. Laughter, it appears has much the same effect on the body as regular physical exercise.
When we laugh we secrete hormones that stimulate the heart and act as natural, painkillers. Stress is reduced calories are burned off and digestion is improved.
Laughter creates internal warmth. It relaxes and stimulates at the same time. And as it sends more oxygen to every cell in the body, laughter can also serve to speed tissue healing and stabilize many body functions, helping to strengthen them against infection and abnormal growth. Cheerful people, the doctors say, resist disease better than dejected ones.

LEDERSHIP DEVELOPMENT MODEL

Leadership Development ModelWe do live in a paradoxical world. At one level, we are been expected to learn the entire life, many of us who are spending 16 or more years getting the formal education. But no where in this process anyone did teach us how to learn to recall the things, so if even we are exposed to the sound ideas, most of them have been forgotten.
To make the matters worse, very few of us know how to turn the useful theory into a real world skills. Traditional training model still which is commonly been used is that if you do practice once, you will know how to do the things. A real world will not work like that, you should have to practice many times before the skills are been mastered.

A model stresses that the leadership skill development is learning how to master the process of skills development. To do that, we need a proper mixture of the feedback, the motivation, the practice and the theory.

We will provide the Skills Development Model so we can more quickly develop the expertise. It will minimizes the frustration by using the combination of sound theory combined with the repeated practice to have the individuals perfect skills and the behaviors.

SKILL OF PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENTS


Skills of Personality Developments
In today world, personality becomes one the important factor of our extra ordinariness. When we go to interview, after technical talent the personality & communication is another important factor. It deals with the way you create your impressions among others.It is something, you can’t learn by mug aping. You need to develop your own personality with respect to someone & behavior. Sometimes this become the another reason for drop out from best jobs & companies. According to Rohit S. Sharma, speakers must communicate in such a way that he can provoke the professional speakers & communicator. Skill is fully depending on our own specialty.
Components of Personality development
There are immense possibilities within you to develop your personality with strong character. You must recognize and understand them. The key to success is hidden within you. The wealth you have earned is not important but what is important is the means you have adopted for acquiring that wealth. Your personality, your capabilities, your thoughts and your ideals are all very important in determining your character. We will discuss some essential components of personality Development in this article.
*(1)Be polite and speak sweetly:Sweetly spoken words have their own advantage and it is a major component in developing our personality. Society gives respect to a person who has control over his speech and everybody wants to conserve with a person who is sweet spoken. That is why we should always try and inculcate sweet and soft spoken words in our speech.All actions are controlled by tongue or speech. They originate from speech. So it is essential that speech is controlled by mind. A person who is not honest by speech is considered dishonest in all respects. The man who has not control over his speech can not be sure if he can exercise any control over his self while working. If a wrong thing is said in good style it also becomes effective. Then if you say a good thing in good way it has no comparison.
*(2)Keep away from lies, fraud and deception:G.D. Broadman, a great western thinker said – sow a work and get a habit, sow a habit and get a character, sow a character and get a fortune. It is evident that the fate of a person is formed by the work he dies, the branch of a tree bends in the direction it is diverted. If a person once entangles him self in lies and cunningness, then in spite of making countless efforts he can never get out of it and day by day he will keep moving toward downfall. We never improve our personality keeping these elements with in us or a part our habits.
Once a man resorts to lies for self gains and self protection then he gradually becomes an expert in telling lies. Lies, treachery, manipulation and fraud are such aspects of our personality which will lead to our failure, insult and defamation at every step of life. It is necessary that we get rid of these negative shortcomings with firm determination to get success in life. It is an admitted fact that bad ideas develop more rapidly as compared to good ideas. Therefore, we must try and keep ourselves away from all kind of bad impacts.
*(3)Believe in healthy competition:The path of all success is filed with thorns. There is no hindrance in the path of downfall, but no sooner we lift the first step towards progress we start facing difficulties. Only those people who have immense courage and enthusiasm can advance on this path. Those who have moved forward have become immortal. These who cross all the barriers, all the pains, sufferings and sorrows are also able to taste the sweet fruits of success.To achieve success it is necessary that all the energies of body, mind and wealth are utilized in one direction only. When a nab m avoiding all temptations in life works towards one definite foal, he is bound to get total victory. When all energies of mind and soul are concentrated for a particular work then all sources become available for completion of that particular work.
*(4)The importance of positive attitude:Positive attitude is of great importance in our personality. Many people, inspite of having sufficient talent and qualification, do not progress and succeeds in life because of their narrow outlook. Nobody likes people who have narrow outlook. In life only that person is considered will behave who have positive and health bend of mind. The real beauty of a man lies not in his physical appearance but in his work and good qualities. The ability and achievements of a person are judged by his mentality. That is why it is important that we improve our mental outlook. By adopting positive outlook we can get rid of mental dissatisfaction. This change will help you to contribute a lot in making your relations better and sweet with people as well as your personality will bright all over as like the stars in the sky.
*(5)Anger and irritation are your enemies:To be angry is part of human nature. Probably there is no man in this world who has never been angry for some or the other reason. But some people are such who become temperamentally angry. People who get angry and irritated habitually do not realize that this habit of theirs will be a hindrance in path of their personality development and they will become their own enemies.Anger results in foolishness and insanity. There is a saying that hot temper is the main obstacle in completion of delicate genes of the body. Sometimes delicate tissues and veins even get burnt, outwardly we do not come to know that damage has been caused but we destroy many hidden treasures in our body.
*(6)Spare time for social service:If we want to be recognized in the society and want to reach the pinnacle of success, we should not keep out self aloof from society. Our deep feelings and responsibility towards society makes us good and responsible citizen of the society we live in. The more we work for society and the more we remain connected with it, the more famous we will become the fame will enhance our personality and enthusiasm. Always remember that society is ours. We need it. Live not only for yourself but for the society.
*(7)Develop your creative power:Our creative streak and positive propensity can pay us dividends. One who is engaged in constructive activity of one or the other kind is always happy. All men should channelise their energies in creative work. Be it agriculture, physical labour, daily wager, craftsmanship, office work, domestic chores or social work. Breach in creativity is a breach in peace and happiness.
*(8)Know the value of time:Every moment of our life is a golden moment. The door of progress and development remain open for the person who knows to utilize and make best use of these moments. He not only pushes away all the failures and gets victory over all setbacks and obstacle but also becomes very popular in society dye to his punctual behavior. On the other hand worthless pursuits or pass these moments carelessly, face depression and disappointment on all sphere victims of vicious circle of failures.
*(9)Writing Skills
When the famed poet Shelley said, "Poets (read writers) are the unacknowl¬edged legislators of the world", he was paying a befitting tribute to the people who transform the world through the word. Jawaharlal Nehru made a name for himself as a seasoned politician but it was said of him that he would have made a bigger dent on the minds of the people as a writer. The power of the printed word is a known and acknowledged phenomenon. "I read it in a book", is often used as a clincher in an undecided argument. Herbert Drucker has written a book "Com¬munication is Power". It indeed is! But those aspiring to go up the slippery pole of success in compe¬titions of life, often blink away its impor¬tance. They either are 'innocent' of its importance, or worse, think that it comes naturally. Get down to the business of writing and see the improvement in your overall personality. The ability to communicate clearly in writing is one of the "most important skills you will ever master. It will help you to get your ideas across effectively and to get the results you want in your business and personal life. There is no mystery to good writing-it is a skill you can learn. There are a few executives who have rare kind of secretary who can take care of all sorts of correspondence with no more than a quick memorandum to work from. But for most of us, if there is any writing to be done, we have to do it ourselves. We have to write papers (book reports, term papers, college applications), business papers (memos, reports, letters of inquiry, letters of adjustment), home papers, invitations etc. We are constantly called on to put words to paper. It would be difficult to count the number of such words, messages, letters, and reports put into the mails or delivered by hand, but the daily figure must be enormous.
Be brief"THAT writer does the most, who gives the reader the most information, and takes from him the least time", wrote Charles C. Colton. This is an observation which everyone who writes should com¬mit to heart, an observation to post above the desk of "every businessman who dic¬tates a memo, of every housewife who pens a letter, and of every student who writes out a term-paper.
*(10)The purpose of writing is to communicate: A thought, an idea, a sentiment, a fact. The more concrete and concise these elements in a communication, the more precise, the more rewarding they are to the reader. "Brevity is the soul of wit", said Shakespeare. This maxim warrants re¬membering, along with Mr. Colton's ad¬monition, that we demand the least time from our readers. Clear and Complete Othe other hand, nothing can be more irritating and sometimes frustrating than the omission of essential detail Suppose, for example, the shirts you manufacture come in several styles, colors and sizes, but the order you have received in the mail gives no specifica¬tions. Or you are driving to visit a friend in the country and you come to a fork in a country lane; you consult the map he has sent you and he has omitted both the fork and the road you are to take. Someone writes down a telephone message from your out-of-town friends, telling you they're going to be in the city and will drop in to see you; but the mes¬sage contains no date, no time and noth¬ing to indicate whether they are coming alone or with their children. And there are the instructions for setting up your hi-fi tape recorder which take for granted that you know what a "patch cord" is. There is virtue in brevity, but you must never assume that your reader is as expert or as knowledgeable as you are about whatever it is you are writing. Brev¬ity is not an excuse for lack of clarity. And clarity, above all, is essential to what you have to say on paper. Certainly you want to avoid stiffness and rigidity in your writing (even when you send off an angry letter to the man¬ager of your local cinema). At the same time, you wouldn't write a report on the market conditions in the "chummy" manner of a letter to a cousin or a college room¬mate who has just become president of an organization. *Lively LanguageThere has been more pretentious non sense written and spoken about style than about any other literary subject. As a result, half the unpracticed writers assume an unnatural pomposity when they settle down to composition, three-eighths of them are intimidated, and only the one eighth left over are independent enough to forget about *style and write naturally Just as you have your own way of wearing your clothes or drinking soup, so you have your own individual way of expressing yourself. This does not mean that your natural way cannot be improved. Just as it is kind to tell a man who sucks up his soup nois¬ily that his social acceptability will be enhanced by applying the silencer, so it is necessary for an inexperienced writer to be told what errors or ill-manners in writ¬ing to avoid. Any writing interlarded plentifully with "goshes" and dashes and exclama¬tion marks, for example, grates on the reader, and is therefore bad manners. Any writing in which nouns are habitually qualified by two or more adjectives is too wordy and unlikely to express any meaning with precision. There are certain basic rules of good writing which are almost universal in their application, and within the frame¬work of which it is possible for writers of the most diverse gifts and styles to express themselves with individuality.
//**The main five rules are**//
(a)Prefer the short word to the long: The short word is gen¬erally better because it expresses your meaning more quickly and certainly. A deliberate search for short words leads to incisiveness in writing. How much better to say: "I couldn't come because it was raining", than "My attendance was rendered impos¬sible by adverse meteorological conditions." (b)Prefer the concrete word to the abstract word:In most writing it is possible to choose between concrete and abstract words. If you are:' writing about ideas, which are abstractions, you naturally have to use abstract words, but there is a deplorable tendency among many people to use vague abstract words where short concrete words would be better. (c)Prefer the Saxon word to the Romance: The Saxon word is what is bred in the bone; it is racy, idiomatic and direct. The Romance word is the genteelism assumed by Frenchified Englishmen. But good English writers still prefer, "wood" to "timber", "sail" to "navigate", "walk" to "ambulate", "sickness" to "invalidity". The English language has been immensely enriched by words from other languages, and it would be both impracti¬cable and foolish to hamstring your writing by turning a recommendation into a hard and fast rule. Use your commonsense-but avoid pretensions. (d)Prefer the short: Sentence to the long: Here again commonsense must be used. A succession of short sentences can be choppy. A succession of long sentences sends your readers to sleep. The best arrangement is a nice balance of short and long sentences, with a general preference for the short.
(e)Use no word that does not directly contribute towards the sense:It is astonishing how many "passenger" words you will find in print. They contribute heavily to dullness. A good writer is like a marksman: he fires one shot from his rifle and hits the mark, or near it. The indifferent writer blazes away both barrels of a shot-gun, hoping that the "spread" will make up for his lack of accuracy.In short, know what you want to say, and say it in the fewest words than can be used without baldness. The voluble are seldom really articulate. Precision of meaning is lost in the verbiage.

Qayamat tak tujhe yaad karenge,Teri har baat par aitbaar karenge,Tujhe SMS karne ko to nahi kahenge,Par phir bhi tere SMS ka intezar karenge.




Kaun jane kab maut ka paigam aa jaye,Zindagi ki akhari sham aa jaye,Hum toh dhundhte hain waqt aisa jab,Hamari zindagi apke kam aa jaye.



Jab dosti ki dastan waqt sunayega,Tumko bhi koi shaks yaad ayega,Tab bhool jayenge zindgi ke gam ko,Jab apke sath guzara samay yaad ayega...



Ek din hamare annsoon humse pooch baithe, humey roz -roz kyon bulate ho,Humne kaha hum yaad to unhe karte hain tum kyon chale aate ho...

Do pal ki bhi khushi na mili to kya hua umr bhar gam ke sahare ji lenge,Kya hua jo hamari girlfriend nahi, hum aapki girlfriend ke sahare ji lenge.....

Tere DIL mein rahenge SMS bankar,Dhadkano mein bajenge RINGTONE bankar,Kabhi apne DIL se juda mut Samajana,Hum tere saath chalenge NETWORK bankar!!!

Hum dua karte hain Khuda se,ki wo aap jaisa dost aur na banaye,Ek Cartoon jaisi cheez hai humare paas,kahin wo bhi common na ho jaye!!



Zindagi behaal hai,Sur hai na taal hai,Msg box bhi kangal hai,kya aapki sms factory me hartal hai,Yaar kuch to bhejo ye meri mobile ki zindagi ka sawaal hai...



Unka ashiyana dil mein basa rakha hai,Unki yadon ko seene se laga rakha hai,Pata nahi yaad aate hain wohi kyun,Vaise dost to hamne auron ko bhi bana rakha hai...

Dil mein umeedo ki shamma jala rakhi hai,Humne apni alag duniya basa rakhi hai,Is umeed ke saath ki ayega SMS aapka,Humne mobile par nazrein jama rakhi hein.........




Pyara sa ehsas ho tum, har pal mere pas ho tum,Jine ki ek aas ho tum, mann ka ek vishwas ho tum,Shayad is liye.... Kuch khas ho tum.......



Ankhein khuli ho to chehra tumhara ho,Aankhein bandh ho to sapna tumhara ho,Mujhe maut ka dar na hoga,Agar kafan ki jagah dupatta tumhara ho........




Hum na hote to aapko gazal kaun kehta, apke chehre ko gulab kaun kehta,Ye to karishma hai hum pyar karne walon ka warna pattharon ko Taj Mahal kaun kehta........



Vo aaj bhi hume dekh kar muskurate hain,Vo aaj bhi hume dekh kar muskurate hain,Yeh to unke bachche hee kaminey hain,Jo Mama-Mama kehke bulaate hain........




Safar lamba hai dost banate rahiye,Dil mile na mile haath badate rahiye,Taj na banaiye costly padega,Har taraf Mumtaj banate rahiye......



Jab jab ghire badal teri yaad ayi,Jab jhoom ke barsa sawan teri yaad ayi,Jab-jab mein bhiga teri yaad ayi,Ab raha nahin jata, Chatri Lauta de Bhai..........




Kya lekar aaya tha?Kya lekar jayega? Mujhe SMS na karke zaalim,Tu kitna chillar bachayega???



Aahat si koi aaye to lagta hai ki tum ho,Saya sa koi lehraye to lagta hai ki tum ho,Ab tumhi batao tum kya kisi bhoot se kam ho??




Aey mere SMS mere dost ke pass jana,Agar wo so raha ho to shor mat machana,Jab wo jage to dhire se 'Muskarana',Phir kehna "KANJUS" SMS karo!!!



Dil ka dard dil todne wale kya jane,Pyar ke rivazon ko zamana kya jane,Hoti hai kitni takleef ladki patane mein,Ye ghar pe baitha ladki ka baap kya jaane......




Bazu-o-mein dum rakhta hun,Dil mein gum rakhta hun,Pata tha SMS ayega tera,Isliye DISPRIN sang rakhta hun.......



Aaj didar, kal yaar, parson pyaar,phir ekrar, phir intezar, phir takrar,phir darar, sari mehnat bekar,aur aakhir mein ek aur devdas at beer bar..........



Ramchandra keh gaye siya se aisa kalyug aayega,Ek dost ek taraf se SMS karega, doosra apna paisa bachayega.....



Zindagi ko ek rangin kalpana samjho,Subah ko sach raat ko sapna samjho,Bhulana chahte ho sabhi gamo ko to,Zindagi me mujhe apna samjho......



Jaam pe jaam peene se kya fayeda,Raat guzri to utar jayegi,Kisi ki aankhon se peeyo khuda ki kasam,Umr saari nashe mein guzar jayegi......

Message pe message bhejte ho,bhej bhej ke bheja kharab karte ho,bhejte bhi ho to bhejte ho,khud ka bheja to chalta nahin,doosron ka bheja hua bhejte ho!!



Woh Zindagi hi kya jisme Mohabbat nahi,Woh Mohabbat hi kya jisme Yaadein nahi,Woh Yaadein kya jisme Tum nahi,Aur woh Tum hi kya jiske saath Hum nahi...



Na khwabon me dekha, na nazaron me dekha,Hazaron me ek humne tum hi ko dekha,Gum dene wale to har pal hai yahan,Har pal khushi dene walon me ek aap hi ko dekha.....




Zindagi Taj Mahal ho jaye,Chandani khil ke kamal ho jaye,Tum jo ban jaao dost mere,Dil ki dhadkan bhi ek Ghazal ho jaye.........



Kudrat ke karishmon mein agar raat na hoti,To khwab mein unse mulaqat na hoti,Wo wada to kar gaye ki ayenge khwab mein,Mare khushi ke neend na aye to kya karen.....




Toot jaate hain sabhi rishte magar, Dil se dil ka raabta apni jagah, Dil ko hai tujh se na milne ka yakeen, Tujh se milne ki dua apni jagah....



Tussi hasde ho saanu hassan waste,Tussi ronde ho saanu rulaan waste,Tussi ek vaar ruske te vekho,Mar jawange tuhanu manaan waste!!!! Ajnabi galiyon se hum gujra nahi karte,dard-e-dil liya aur diya nahi karte,Ye dosti ka rishta sirf tum se hai,varna itne SMS hum kisiko kiya nahi karte.......



Ae dil unki yaad mein rona fizul hai, ansu anmol hai, inko khona fizul hai,Rote uske liye hain jo tum pe nisar ho, uske liye kya rona jiske ashiq hazaar hon.......




Yeh such hai doston kisi se pyaar na karna,Kabhi kisi ka aitbaar na karna,Tham ke khanjar apne hi hathon mein,Bedardi se apne dil par vaar na karna.......



Ansoon ko ankhon ki dehleez par laya na karo,Apne dil ki halat kisi ko bataya na karo,Log muthi bhar namak liye ghumtey hain,Apne zakhm kisi ko dikhaya na karo......




Missed call to ek bahana hai,Irada to aapka ek lamha churana he,Aap chahe humse baat karo ya na karo,Aap ki yadon mein humara ana jana hai..........



Jisne humko chaha, use hum chah na sake,Jisko chaha usae hum pa na sake, Yeh samajh lo dil tutne ka khel hai,Kisi ka toda aur apna bacha na sake......




Raatein gumnam hoti hai,Din kisike naam hota hai,Hum zindagi kuch is tarah jite hai,Ki har lamha sirf doston ke hi naam hota hai.....



Kya kahun tujhe? Khwab kahun to toot jayega, dil kahun to bikhar jayega,Aa tera naam zindagi rakh dun, maut se pehle to tera saath chuut na payega!! Itna khubsurat kaise muskura lete ho,Itna qatil kaise sharma lete ho,Kitni aasani se jaan le lete ho,Kisi ne sikhaya hai...ya bachpan se hi kamine ho??



Tuhaar chehra Moti samaan, Tuhaar chehra Moti samaan, Tuhaar chehra Moti samaan, Moti hamaar kutte ka naam!!




Yun to kisika peecha nahin karte,Dard-e-dil diya aur liya nahin karte,Ittefaq ki baat hai ye hamari dosti varna,Itna kimti SMS kisi ko kiya nahin karte..



Teri yaad rud jandi akhan cho pani banke,Ki khatya es rooh ne diwani ban ke,Bhaven ho gaya hun sadi akhan toh dur,Par dil vich wasya hai pyar di nishani ban ke..




Mere dil te asar tera hi rehnda hai,Merian galan vich zikar tera hi rehnda hai,Pata nahi kee rishta hai tera te mera,Ke es dil nu bas tera hi fikar rehnda hai....



Bari warsi khatan gaya si, khat ke leyanda Taanga;Bari warsi khatan gaya si, khat ke leyanda Taanga;Oye agge ki?Agge Ghora..




Akhan di benuri changi nahi hundi,Sajna kolon doori changi nahi hundi,Kade kade tan milya kar,Har vele majboori changi nahi hundi.....



Khushiyon par fizaon ka pehra hai,Na jane kis umeed pe dil thehra hai,Teri ankhon se jhalakte dard ki kasam,Yeh dosti ka rishta pyar se gehra hai............




Chand pe kali ghata chati to hogi,Sitaron ko hansi aati to hogi,Tum lakh chupao duniya se,Magar akele mein tumhe apni shakal pe hansi aati toh hogi!!!



Ishq ke bhi kuch andaz hote hain,Jagti ankhon mein bhi khawab hote hain,Zaroori nahi k gam mein ansu nikle,Muskurati ankhon mein bhi sailab hote hain........




Kal tera viah hoju, sada dil te akhian roan giyan,Asin granth sahib chuk k laijange terian lavan kidan hongian. .....



Yaar ne dil ka haal batana chod diya, humne bhi gehrai main jana chod diya,Aap ne SMS karna kya band kiya, humne mobile charge karna chod diya!!! Maut k baad yaad aa raha hai koi, mitti meri kabr se utha raha hai koi,Ya khuda do pal ki mohlat aur de de, udas meri kabr se ja raha hai koi......



Sehmi-2 nigahon mein khwab hum saja denge,Suni suni rahon pe phool hum khila denge,Aap hamare sung muskura kar to dekho,Aap har gam bhula denge.....




Rok deo mere janaze nu mere vich jaan aa gai hai,Saaleyo peeche mudh ke dekho SHARAB di dukan aa gai hai….CHEERS!



Raat hogi to chand duhai dega,Khawabon mein aapko woh chehra dikhai dega,Ye mohabbat hai zara sochke karna,Ek aansoo bhi gira to sunai dega.......




Dil mein ek shor ho raha hai, bina SMS dil bore ho raha hai,Kahin aisa tho nahin ke ek pyara sa dost, mujhse door ho raha hai.......



Kal Mila Waqt To Zufain Teri Suljha Doonga,Aaaj Uljha Hoon Zara Waqt Ke Sulajhne Mein,Yoon To Sulajh Jatee hein Uljhee Zulfain,Umar Kat Jati Hai Waqt Ke Sulajhne Mein....




Har karz dosti ka ada kaun karega, jab hum hi na rahenge to dosti kaun karega,Aey khuda mere doston ko salamat rakhna, varna mere jeene ki dua kaun karega. ....



Suni zindagi mein halchal si mehsoos hui, bejaan dil ki aaj dhadkan mehsus hui,Jane aaj kyu aisa laga, shayad aapki kami mehsoos hui....




Kaun rakhta hai yaad namo ko, log chehre tak bhul jate hai,Tum samandar ki baat karte ho, log aankho me dub jate hai......



Jis waqt khuda ne tumhe banaya hoga, ek saroor sa uske dil pe chaya hoga, pehle socha hoga tujhe jannat mein rakh lun phir usse mera ka khayal aaya hoga......




Humne socha tha ki shayad, hum hi chahte hai tumko, par tumhe chahne wala to kafila nikla,Dil ne kaha shikayat kar khuda se, paar khuda bhi tera chahne wala nikla......



Tere Dar pe, Arz kiya hai kitere der pe sanam hazar baar ayengey,tere der pe sanam hazar baar ayengey,Ghanti bajayengey aur bhaag jayengey......




Manzil ki taraf badhte raho.Jo dil kahe usi rah ko chuno,peeche walon ko age na jaane doaur jo aage hai unse aage niklo.Tabhi 1 acche Truck Driver banoge. ........




Zindagi jaise ek saza si ho gayi hai,gam ke saagar me is kadar kho gayi hai,tum kar do ek SMS yeh gujarish hai meri,tumari SMS ki aadat si ho gayi hai.......

**SHARE**


Aap pe kurbaan hmari Yaari hai, hanske mar jaane ki Tayyari hai,Yeh silsila na khatam ho humaari Dosti ka, humne to yaad kar liya ab aapki Baari hai.


Rishta banaya hai to nibhayenge,Har pal aapko hasayenge-satayenge,Pata hai aapko to fursat nahi yaad karne ki, Hum hi msg kr-kr ke apni yaad dilayenge.


Zindagi... Cigarette ki tarah hoti hai, Enjoy karo... Warna... Sulag to rahi hi hai, khatam to waise bhi ho hi jayegi.


Khwaish aisi karo ki aasman tak ja sako,Dua aisi karo ki khuda ko pa sako,U to jeene k liye pal bahut kam hai,Jiyo aise k har pal mein zindgi pa sako..!


Jahan ki gurbat me sukun nahi ayega,Gam-e-tohin se kubul nahi ayega.Maklul ki fitrat he ye kafir,Dimag fat jayega par ye sher samajh nahi ayega.


Wo yaron ki mehfil wo muskrate pal,Dilse juda hai apna bita hua kalKabhi guzarti thi zindgi waqt bitane me,Ab waqt guzar jata hai chand kagaz k note kamane me.


Apne gamo ki yu numaish na kar,Apne nasib ki yu aazmaish na kar,Jo tera hai tere dar pe khud ayega,Roz roz use pane ki khwaish na kar!


Har khomoshi mein ek baat hoti hai,Har dil mein ek yaad hoti hai, Aapko pata ho ya na ho par aapki khushi k liye roz fariyad hoti hai.


Dosti ki mahek ishq se kam nahi hoti,Ishq pe hi zindgi khatm nahi hoti, Agar sath ho zindgi men achche dosto ka, Zindagi kisi jannat se kam nahi hoti.


Zindagi Mein Kuch Lamhein Khaas Ban Gaye,Mile To Mulakat Ban Gaye,Bichhre To Yaad Ban Gaye,Aur Jo Dil Se Na Gaye,Wo AAP Ban Gaye.


Rabb kare sade yaar muskraunde rehen,Sohnia nu tarpaunde rehen, Yara nal mehfila v launde rehan, Kuri na fase koi gal ni, customer care nal kam chalaunde rehan.


Ishq ke sahare jiya nahi karte,Gum ke pyalo ko piya nahi karte,Kuchh Nawab dost hain hamare,jinko Pareshan na karo to wo yaad hi kiya nahi karte...


Kanjoos ki zindagi kya jeena, kabhi humari tarah bhi jiya karo,Roz mere sms padh kar sharam nahi aati, kabhi khud bhi SMS kiya karo.


Aap khubsurat hain itne, ke har shakhs ki zuban par aap hi ka tarana hai, hum nacheez to kahan kisi ke kaabil, aur aapka to khuda bhi diwana hai.


Na moh na maya hai; Aalas tumhi ko aaya hai; Humein bhi msg kar k dekh lo; Nokia/Motorola/Sony ne ye mobile sirf tumhari GIRLFRIEND k liye nahi banaya hai.


Yaad hum bhi aapko karte hai, yaad aap bhi hame karte hai,fark itna hai hum yaad ane par sms karte hai aur aap sms ane par yaad karte hai.


Raaz dil ka dil mein chupate hai woh, samne aate hi nazar jhukate hai woh,Baat karte nahi, ya hoti nahi, par shukar hai jab bhi milte hai muskurate hai woh.


Zindagi de 4 din hass khed k katt lo,pyar naal duniya ch khatna jo khat lo,lutt lo nazara jag wale mele da,pata nahio hunda yaaro aun wale wele da.


Kise-kise mutiyar de hai sir utte palla,PAGG wala munda dise dasan vicho kalla,Jeanan chall payian suitan da riwaaz na riha, Mera pehlan varga rangla Punjab na reha.


Asin jitte bazi tan mashoor ho gaye,Tere haseyan ch hase tan hanju door ho gaye,Bas ik tere jehe dost di dosti badoult,Asin tutte kach ton KÖHINÖÖR ho gaye.


Raaz dil ka dil mein chupate hai woh,Samne aate hi nazar jhukate hai woh,Baat karte nahi, ya hoti nahi,Par shukar hai jab bhi milte hai muskurate hai woh.


Zindagi de 4 din hass khed k katt lo,Pyar naal duniya ch khatna jo khat lo,Lutt lo nazara jag wale mele da,Pata nahio hunda yaaro aun wale wele da... Enjoy!


Moor ker na dekh mujhe, yoon hanstay hanstay,Mere dost hain baray hoshiyaar, keh dengay bhabhi Namaste.


Dil ke dard ko dil todne waala kya jaane,pyaar ke rivajo ko ye jmaana kya jaane,hoti hai kitni takleef kabar mein,upper se phool chadane waala kya jaane


Dil do to kisi ek ko,Aur do to kisi nek ko...Jo samjhe pyaar ke matlab ko..Jab tak saccha dildar na mile, try karte raho har ek ko.


Har khushi teri taraf mod doon,Tere liye chand taare tak tod doon,khushiyo ke darwaje tere liye khol doon,Itna kaafi hai ya do chaar jhoot aur bol du


Judai apki rulati rahegi,yaad apki aati rahegi,pal pal jaan jati rahegi,jab tak jism mein hai jaan har saans ye rishta nibhati rahegi.


Har daag, daag nahi hota, har yaar wafadar nahi hota,Yeh to dil milne ki baat hai, varna saat pheron mein bhi pyar nahi hota.


Tere naal dosti akhri sah tak nibawange,Tere pairan thalle assi ta talliyaan tikaawange,Jado marzi parakh lai mere dosta,Teri mashuk asi phasavange.


AMLI kehnda hai: Kafan na pao mere Chehre te, mainu aadat hai muskraun di.Ajj di raat na dafnaao mainu yaro, aaj umeed hai Bhukki wale truck de aaun di.


Yaad teri wich saanu chain koi na, Saade utte tenu reham koi na, Horan nu tu din raat SMS kare, saade leyi tere kol time koi naa.


Yaran de sache pyar nu yaad rakhi,mapian de satkar nu yaad rakhin,Punjabi sabiachar nu yaad rakhin,dil de kisi kone which iss nimane yaar nu yaad rakhin.


Meri ankho ko sapne fir dikha gaya koi, buzhti sason me mahak fir jaga gaya koi, kya ye sachmuch pyar hai, ya Chutiya fir se bana gaya koi.


Bade ajeeb hain ye zindagi ke raaste, anjane mod par kuchh log dost ban jate hain, milne ki khushi de ya na de bichhadne ka gam zarur de jate hain.


Aapake miss call bhi kya baat hain,Aapke sms bhi din raat hain,Kabhi kabhi phone bhi kiya karo,Suna hain aapake awaaz me bhi khas baat hain.


Apni Surat ka kabhi to didaar de,Tadap raha hu kabhi to apna pyaar de,Apni awaaz nahi sunani to mat suna,Kam se kam ek Missed call he maar de


Pyar ko mat chhupao, usey zarurat hai jatane ki, Apni pratibhaon ko mat chupao, unhe zarurat hai badhane ki, Ab aur perfume mat lagao, tumhe zarurat hai nahane ki.


Jise koyal samjhe, woh kauwa nikla, dosti ke naam par hauwa nikla,Jo roka karte they humein sharab peene se, aaj unki jeb se pauwa nikla.


Pyaar sab ne rabb nu vakh-vakh ditta,kise nu lakh te kise nu kakh ditta,Sahnu tuhade jeha yaar ditta,lakh ton v sava-lakh ditta.


Chale gaye ho dur kuch pal ke liye, Dur rehkar bhi karib ho har pal ke liye, Kaise yaad na aaye aapki ek pal ke liye, Jab dil me ho aap har pal ke liye.


Ek jaam ulfat ke naam, ek jaam mohabat ke naam. Ek jaam wafa k naam, puri botal bewafa ke naam, Aur pura theka doston ke naam


Mein pucheya rab nu: Tu jag pyaar da vairi kyun bana chadya?Rab hasseya te boleya: Tu kehra mere naal changi kiti hai.


Tu v taan yaar nu rab bana chadeya Daag ansuon se dhoye hain,Jab bhi tanha huye hain roye hain,Dil mein kyon na uge yaad teri,Dil mein tere hi khawab boye hain.


Ab umar ho gayi hai dil ki kitaab mein, kuch khusk paton ke siva kuch nahin raha,Jajbaat tamaam kho gaye lamhon ki dhool mein, ab dil mein dharkanon ke siva kuch nahi raha.


Log kahtey hain ki ladkiyan zindagi hoti hain maut nahi,Magar voh kya jane ki dhoka bhi zindagi deti hai maut nahi


Sitaron se agey jahan aur bhi hein,Abhi Mohabbat k imthan aur bhi hein,Tum hi nehi jalatey mere dil ko,College mein Ladkiyan aur bhi hein


Sabne kaha Dosti ek Dard hai,Humne kaha Dard kabool hai,Subne kaha is Dard ke saath Jee na Paogay,Humne kaha teri Dosti ki saath Marna kabool hai


Kasur na unka hai na mera, Hum dono hi rishton ki rasmein nibhate rahe,Woh dosti ka ehsaas jatate rahe, Hum mohabbat ko dil mein chupate rahe.


Mombati ke andar ka dhaga bola, Main jalta hoon to tu kyon pighalti hai?Mombati boli, Jisko dil mein jagah di woh bichade to aansoo to niklenge hi.


Tumhara hamara rishta to aankhon aur palkon jaisa hai, Agar palak kuch der na jhapke to aankh ro deti hai, Aur agar aankh mein kuch chala jaye to palak tadap uthti hai.


Na aana usse leke mere janaze mein,Meri Mohabbat ki tauhin hogi,Main 4 logon ke kandhe pe hounga,Aur meri jaan paidal hogi


Dil kareGeet Ban Ke Tere Bullan Te Aawan,Dil KarePanchi Ban Ambari Udd Jaava,Dil KareBanna Ek Taara Kade Chamka Kade Tutt Jaava,Dil kareBanna Teriyan Akhan De Hanjhoo Te Tere Saare Dukh Pee Jaava!


Nakaam si koshish kiya karte hain,Hum hain ki unse pyar kiya karte hain,Khuda ne takdir me ek tuta tara nahi likha,Aur hum hain ki chaand ki aarzu kiya karte hain


Ek ajnabi se mujhe itna pyaar kyon hai,Inkar karne par chahat ka ikraar kyon hai,Use pana nahi meri taqdeer mein shayad,Phir har mod pe usi ka intezar kyon hai.


Aansuon ko bohut samjhaya ke yun na aya karo, mehfil mein hamara mazaak na udaya karo, is par aansu bole mehfil mein tumhe akela paate hain isliye chale aate hain.


Chaand to nikla hai magar yeh raat na hai pehli si,Yeh mulaaqaat, mulaaqaat na hai pehli si,Ranjh kuchh kum to hua aaj teray milne se,Yeh alag baat ke yeh baat na hai pehli si.


Bhool Se Agar Koi Bhool Hui,To Bhool Samajke Use Bhool Jana,Arey Bhoolna Sirf Bhool Ko,Bhoolkar Bhi Hume Na Bhool Jana


Heer kahe Raanjhe se,O Sun Mere raanjhnaa!Heer kahe Raanjhe se,O Sun Mere Raanjhnaa!Jhuthe bartanon Ko Tum,Ragad- Ragad Kar Maanjhnaa!


Daulat Aur Sohrat sabke Pas Hai,Khushiya Aur Ghum Sabke Naseeb Mein Hai,Pyar Aur Nafrat Sabke Dil Mein Hai,Par Khush-naseeb Hai Hum kyonki Tum Jaisa Dost Hamare Pas hai


Khuda kisi ko kisi pe fida na kare, Kare to qayamat tak juda na kare,Yeh mana ki koi marta nahi judai mein, lekin jee bhi to nahi pata tanhai me


Sooni zindagi main hulchul mehsus hui,Bejaan dil ki aaj dhadkan mehsus hui,Jaane kyun aaj aisa laga,Shayad aapki kami mehsus hui.


Asi Mobile on rakhya te tere SMS da intzaar kita,Tere laryaan da etbaar kita,Asi call karan lagyaan pal v na layaa,Tusi SMS karan lagyaan nakhra hazaar kita


Khuda se maine ek dua mangi, dua me apni maut mangi,Phir khuda ne kaha maut to tujhe me de du par usko kya kahu jisne teri lambi umar mangi.

Khidki se dekha to raastey pe koi nahin tha,Khidki se dekha to raastey pe koi nahin tha,Raaste pe jaake dekha to khidki pe koi nahi tha


Kalam pharke ohde te kuch likhan lagga, das ohda bholapan likhan ya ohdi chaturai likhan,Dona rahaan te ake mere hath ruk gaye, das ohda pyar likhan ya ohdi judai likhan,Hasse lut ke oh dilan de haal puchdi, das ohdi majburi likhaan ya bewafaai likhan


Phool aisa ho jo baag ko khushbu se bhar de, Hamsafar aisa ho jo andheron ko roshan kar de, Dost aisa ho zindagi ko khushi aur mobile ko SMS se bhar de...

Pyar Karnewalon ki kismat kharab hoti hai,Har waqt inteha ki ghadi sath hoti hai,Waqt mile to rishto ki kitab khol ke dekh lena,Dosti har rishtey se lajawab hoti hai


Ankho me aansuo ko ubharne na diya,Mitti ke motiyo ko bikharne na diya,Jis raah pe pade the tere kadamo ke nishan,Us raah se kisi ko gujarne na diya


Unj tenu Rab diya rehmata batheriya,jithe kite jaye galla hundiya ne teriya,Par jinne joge assi unni karange zaroor,Koi saade like sewa hove dasana zaroor


Sawaal paani ka nahi, Pyaas ka hai,Sawaal maut ka nahi, Saans ka hai,Dost to duniya mein bahut hain magar,Sawaal dosti ka nahi Vishwas ka hai


Suna hai asar hota hai baaton mein, Aap bhi bhul jaoge Do-Chaar mulakaton mein,Lekin humse bachkar kahan jaoge, Aapki dosti ki lakeer hai mere haathon mein


Aapki dosti ki ek nazar chahiye; Dil hai beghar use ek Ghar chahiyeBas yun hi saath chalte raho ae dost; Yeh Dosti hume umar bhar chahiye


Tu te hor kisse di ho gayi ni sannu laake Jhoothe laare,Galiyan de vich rulde phirde ni assi Naina de Vanjaare...


Baanh phad ke rok lende tenu, je sada chalda koi zor hunda,Asin tere layi kyon ronde, je tere varga koi hor hunda...


Adhi raat ik supna aan khloh janda,fir sauna aukha ho janda,pyar tere da dard meri nas nas to janda,saun rabb di main pyar nehi kita, eh pyar taan aap hi ho janda!

Dosti ke mayne hamse kya puchte ho,Hum abhi in baton se anjaan hain,Sirf ek gujarish hai ke bhool na jana hame,Kyonki aapki dosti hi hamari jaan hai.

Saton Aasmaon ki sair ham kar aaye,Har ek tare se Dosti kar aaye,Ek Tara khas tha jise hum apne saath le aaye,Varna aap hi Sochiye ki aap is zameen par kyoon aaye?


Waade bhi dost ne kya khub nibhaye,Zakham muft mein aur dard tohfe me bhijwaye,Is se badhkar wafa ki misaal kya hogi,Maut se pehle hi dost kafan le aye

Bartan lohe de kade tuttde nahin,Maali apne baagh nu kade puttde nahin;Tutt jande ne kai baar khoon de rishtey,par rishtey Dosti de kade tuttde nahin.

Har phool ki ajab kahani hai,chup rehna bhi pyar ki nishani hai,kahin koi zakhm nai phir bhi kyun dard ka ehsas hai,lagta hai dil ka ek tukda aaj bhi uske paas hai.


Rukta bhi nahi, theek se chalta bhi nahi,Yeh dil hai kay tere baad sambhalta hi nahi,Is umar key sehra say teri yaad ka baadal,Talta bhi nahi aur barasta bhi nahi,


Kaghaz kaghaz haraf sajjaya karta hai,Tanhai main sheher basaaya karta hai,Kaisa paagal shaks hai saari saari raat,Deewaroon ko dard sunaya karta hai,Ro daita hai aap hi apni baatoon par,Aur phir khud ko aap hansaaya karta hai.


Kal mila waqt to zulfein teri suljha doonga,Aaaj uljha hoon zara waqt ko sulajhane mein,Yun to sulajh jatee hain uljhi zulfein,Umar kat jati hai waqt ko sulajhane mein.


Kaash is dil ki awaz mein itna asar ho jaye,Hum apko yaad karein, aur aapko khabar ho jaye,Khuda se maangte hain ki aap jise bhi chaho,Woh zindagi ki raah mein apka humsafar ho jaye.
Kitne jaldi yeh mulakat guzar jati hai,Pyaas bujhti nahin ki barsaat guzar jati hai.Apni yadon se keho ki yun na sataya kare,Neend aati nahin aur raat guzar jati hai.


Abhi to Baaj ki asali udaan baaki hai,Abhi to aapka imtihan baaki hai,Abhi tak to aapne zamin dekhi hai,Abhi to pura aasmaan baaki hai.


Zindagi hai to khwab hain,Khwab hain to manzilein hain,Manzilein hain to raste hain,Raste hain to Mushkilein hain,Mushkilein hain to MAIN HOON NAA.


Ret pe naam kabhi likhte nahin, kyonki ret pe likhe naam kabhi tikte nahin,Aap kehte ho tum patthar dil ho, par patthar pe likhe naam kabhi mitte nahin.


Zikar hua jab Khuda ki rehmaton ka,Hamne khud ko khushnaseeb paya,Tamanna thi ek pyare se dost ki,Khuda khud dost bankar chala aaya.


Mit gaye hain sab zakham,Bas nishaan baaki reh gaya,Saza puri ho gayi,Karna gunaah baaki reh gaya.


Jeena chahte hain magar zindagi raas nahi aati,Marna chahte hain magar maut paas nahi aati,Bahut udas hain hum is zindagi se,Unki yaadein bhi to tadpane se baaz nahi aati.

Tu dekh ya na dekh, tere dekhne ka gam nahi,Par teri ye na dekhne ki ada dekhne se kam nahi.
Ek ada aapke dil churane ki, ek ada aapke dil me bus jane ki,Chehra apka chand sa aur ek zid hamari chand pane ki.


Kuch nasha to aapki baat ka hai,kuch nasha to dheemi barsaat ka hai,humein aap yun hi sharabi na kahiye,is dil par asar to aap se mulakat ka hai!


Yaar yarran nal hasde rehnde,Te yaar yarran nal gusse,Aa sajna gal lag miliye,kite mar na jaiye russe.


Woh inkar karte hain ikrar ke liye,Nafrat bhi karte hain to pyar ke liye,Ulti chaal chalte hain yeh ishq karne wale,Ankhein band karte hain didar ke liye.


Yaadon ki dhund me aapki parchai si lagti hai, Kaanon me gunjti shahnai si lagti hai,Aap karib ho to apnapan hai,Warna seene me saanse bhi parai si lagti hai.


Woh ruthte rahe hum manate rahe,Unki raahon me palkein bichate rahe,Unhone kabhi palat ke bhi na dekha,Hum ankh jhapkane se bhi katrate rahe.


Manzil unhi ko milti hai, Jinke sapno me jaan hoti hai,Pankh se kuchh nahi hota, Hauslon se udaan hoti hai.

Teri dosti hum is tarah nibhayenge,Tum roz khafa hona hum roz manayenge,Par maan jana manane se,Warna yeh bheegi palkein le ke kaha jayenge.


Dhoka diya tha jab tum ne mujhe,Dil se main naraaz tha,Phir socha ki dil se tumhe nikal dun,Magar woh kambakth dil bhi tumhare paas tha.....


Kismat par aitbar kisko hai,Mil jaye khushi inkaar kisko hai,Kuch majburian hain mere dost,Warna judai se pyaar kisko hai.


Chand lamhon ki zindagani hai, nafraton se jiya nahi karte,lagta hai dushmanon se guzarish karni padegi, dost to ab yaad kiya nahi karte


Hume Hasne-Hasane ki aadat hai, Nazron se Nazar Milane ki aadat hai,Par hamari to nazar unse hai ja mili, Jinhe nazar jhukake Sharmane ki Aadat hai.


Bahut dur magar bahut paas rehte ho,Aankho se dur magar dil ke paas rehte ho,Mujhe bas itna bata do kya tum bhi mere bina udaas rehte ho??


Ai mere humnashin chal kahin aur chal,Is chaman mein ab apna guzaara nahin,Baat hoti gulon tak to seh lete hum,Ab to kaanton pe bhi haq hamara nahin.


Koi ankhon se baat kar leta hai,Koi ankhon mein mulakat kar leta hai,Bada mushkil hota hai jawab dena,Jab koi khamosh rehkar sawaal kar leta hai.


Qayamat tak tujhe yaad karenge,Teri har baat par aitbaar karenge,Tujhe SMS karne ko to nahi kahenge,Par phir bhi tere SMS ka intezar karenge.


Kaun jane kab maut ka paigam aa jaye,Zindagi ki akhari sham aa jaye,Hum toh dhundhte hain waqt aisa jab,Hamari zindagi apke kam aa jaye.

MIND AND BODY

Holistic Healing Of Mind And Body
Disease will never be cured or eradicated by only the present materialistic methods, for the simple reason that disease in its origin is not material. What we know as disease is an ultimate result produced in the body, the end product of deep and longacting forces. Even if material treatment alone is apparently successful, it is a temporary relief unless the real cause has been removed. Misinterpreting the true nature of disease and perceiving it in materialistic terms in the physical body is not healing. It distracts your thoughts from your true origin and hence from the effective method of treatment and, secondly, localising treatment to the body obscures true hope of recovery and raises a mighty disease complex of fear, which never should have existed. Disease is in essence the result of conflict between Soul and Mind, and will never be eradicated except by spiritual and mental effort. Such efforts can cure and prevent disease by removing those basic factors which are its primary cause. No effort directed to the body alone can do more than superficially repair damage, and in this there is no cure, since the cause is still operative and may at any moment again demonstrate its presence in another form. In many cases, apparent recovery is harmful, since it hides from the patient the true cause of his trouble, and in the satisfaction of apparently renewed health the real factor, being unnoticed, may gain in strength. The patient who knows, or who is by some wise physician instructed in, the nature of the adverse spiritual or mental forces at work, if that patient directly attempts to neutralise those forces, health improves as soon as this is successfully begun, and when it is completed the disease will disappear. This is true healing. Five hundred years before Christ, some physicians of ancient India, working under the influence of Lord Buddha, advanced the art of healing to so perfect a state that they were able to abolish surgery, although the surgery of their time was possibly as efficient, or more so, than that of the present day. Such men as Hippocrates with his mighty ideals of healing, Paracelsus with his certainty of the divinity in man, and Hahnemann who realised that disease originated in a plane above the physical —all these knew much of the real nature and remedy of suffering. What untold misery would have been spared during the last 20 centuries had the teaching of these great masters of their art been followed! But, as in other things, materialism has appealed too strongly to the western world, and for so long a time, that the voices of the practical obstructors have risen above the advice of those who knew the truth. Disease, though apparently so cruel, is in itself beneficent and for our good and, if rightly interpreted, it will guide us to our essential faults. If properly treated, it will be the cause of the removal of those faults and leave us better and greater than before. Suffering is a corrective to point out a lesson which by other means we have failed to grasp, and never can it be eradicated until that lesson is learnt. Disease may be prevented before its onset — or aborted in its earlier stages — if proper corrective spiritual and mental efforts be undertaken. Nor need anyone despair in any case, however severe, for the fact that the individual is still granted physical life indicates that the Soul who rules is not without hope.

U.S IS NOT UR ENEMY(ARTICLE)



WASHINGTON: US President Barack Obama told the Muslim world that "Americans are not your enemy" and renewed his pledge to travel to make an address
in the capital of a major Muslim nation. ( Watch ) Obama noted that he had lived in Indonesia for several years while growing up, and said his travels through Muslim nations had convinced him that regardless of faith, people had certain common hopes and dreams. "My job to the Muslim world is to communicate that the Americans are not your enemy — we sometimes make mistakes — we have not been perfect," Obama said in an interview with the Al-Arabiya satellite television network. "But if you look at the track record... America was not born as a colonial power, and that the same respect and partnership that America had with the Muslim world as recently as 20 or 30 years ago, there's no reason why we can't restore that." During the 2008 election campaign, Obama vowed to improve US ties with the Muslim world and said he would travel to a major Islamic forum abroad to send that message. "We're going to follow through on our commitment for me to address the Muslim world from a Muslim capital," Obama said in the interview with the Dubai-based channel. "We are going to follow through on many of my commitments to do a more effective job of reaching out, listening as well as speaking to the Muslim world," he said. Obama did not give a time, or a venue for his visit to a major Muslim capital. He was also asked about the highly personal tone of recent al-Qaida messages released since he was elected president in November. He agreed with his interviewer that the tone of recent videos seemed "nervous." "What that tells me is that their ideas are bankrupt," he said.

**MONTORING FOR SUCCESS**



Mentoring for success
FEEL LOST AT WORK AND NOT ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE PATH FOR A SUCCESSFUL CAREER? CONFUSED ABOUT A CAREER DECISION? HERE COMES THE ROLE OF A MENTOR WHO COULD SUPPORT YOU AND LEAD YOU TO THE RIGHT PATH… The word ‘mentor’ has evolved from the Greek classic - Odyssey. The story goes that the Greek Goddess of learning, Athena, took the form of a half-male and halffemale, called Mentor to nurture the young prince, Telemachus, and to protect him from the enemies within the state. And it was since then, people who are experts in their field and are enthusiastic about helping others in developing their skills and competencies are referred to as mentors. Just like the story, mentoring today plays a very important role in today's India Inc. "Mentoring helps in achieving emotional maturity and resilience,” says Desikamani, founder and director, Mentor Learning Services Dr Uday Salunkhe, Group Director, Welingkar Institute of Management Development and Research notes, “A mentor could be someone you work with who is at a higher stage of his/her career than you are. Perhaps, they are your manager or someone who you have worked with in the past. Mentor takes you under his wings and provides advice to help you move your career in the right direction.” But mentoring is not only about supervising a person’s task and or giving some training. It is more about working with a person in a supportive manner and providing a right direction in life, both personally and professionally. As Desikamani puts it, “There are many situations in a person’s career when clarity eludes him/her. Decisions need to be taken and people look for that extra emotional support, a little piece of wisdom etc. to ensure that they are on the right track. A mentor precisely provides that.” “Mentoring helps one to get a balanced view of situations free from emotions and enables timely and objective career decisions. “It also helps in achieving emotional maturity and resilience,” adds Desikamani. A Helping hand Salunkhe, says that he has had multiple mentors who helped him in his career progression. “Prof. Y K Bhushan, one of the best academicians in the country has been a mentor to me as I have built my career in the field of higher education. I have learnt from him how critical it is to remain involved in the larger scheme of things, going beyond one institution to a larger goal of how one needs to play a role as the head of a renowned institution in nation building," he says. In the end, a mentor can help his/her mentee reach new heights with the right guidance and support. So, if you feel stuck at your job and need help, look out for a mentor as he/she can help you achieve the right success


Keep it light at your workplace!
AN OFFICE IS NO LONGER JUST A PLACE OF WORK, AS IT HAS BECOME EQUALLY IMPERATIVE TO HAVE FUN ALSO. EXPERTS OF INDIA INC. EXPLAIN THE IMPORTANCE OF HUMOUR EVEN DURING DIRE TIMES
SHEETAL SRIVASTAVA All in good humour It is said that humour is a positive emotion. Daniel Goleman, in his book ‘Primal Leadership’, speaks of the way a leader’s mood affects everyone in the organisation. “If the leader is stern and heavy-handed, others in the company dread coming to work, feeling they are always being critically watched. The atmosphere becomes vicious and bitter, and people are afraid to admit their mistakes or receive feedback,” says Lekha Sishta, VP - HR & Talent Management, SumTotal Systems – India. While there is so much written and talked about the global slowdown, employees feel bogged down and are affected by the negativity of the situation. In such a scenario, humour helps consolidate the staff and also brings a sigh of relief at the workplace. Many organisations feel it is critical that HR, in tough times, exhibit the humane side of their nature by being warm, considerate, open to hearing employees and staying in constant touch with them. Reaching out It’s important for employees to feel they are being heard. Thus, HR managers should make a conscious effort to reach out. At the Philips Innovation Campus’ (PIC) recent town meeting, various queries of employees were collated through the intranet and the same was put forth to the management team. All queries were answered transparently in a ‘Devil’s Advocate’ format. A group at PIC also has an interest group called ‘Fun-O-Holics’, which engages employees in fun activities. “We regularly organise the ‘Funathon’, which is a fun marathon around the campus,” confirms Y. Krishnamohan, senior director - HR, Philips Innovation Campus, Philips Electronics. It is also imperative that top managers, apart from work related discussions, share light moments with the staff. Senior managers sending out quick smiley mails to the team can help ease the situation at the workplace, no matter how grim it may be. Sharing is caring Sharing table space during lunch hour and tea-time always helps break hierarchical stand at the workplace. For the same reason, SumTotal Systems has started ‘Chai with…’ with the senior managers. “This session is not just about serious Q&A, but poking fun is absolutely encouraged without any recriminatory action,” further adds Sishta. In addition to this, SumTotal Systems personally sends out a mailer to its staff which is separate from work-related items. Everyone loves a smile and adores someone who can laugh at themselves at any given situation. The current slowdown may have induced a great amount of fear and anxiety in the minds of employees. However, there are many who are resorting to light-hearted humour just to stay away from the tension which is creeping in. Whatever the route, humour is necessary for ruffled situations to ease quickly.
