1. Emergency number: The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out of coverage area of your mobile network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you and interestingly this number 112 can be dialled even while the keypad is locked. Try it out.
2. Locked the keys in the car? ( Applicable to remote lock ) This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are home, call someone on your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the other person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away and if you can reach someone who has the other remote" for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk). Editor's Note: *It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a cell phone!"
3. Imagine your cell battery is very low, you are expecting an important call and you don't have a charger". Nokia instrument comes with a reserve battery. To activate, key is *3370# Your cell will restart with this reserve and your instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell next time.

Motivate the Motivator
The song Chingaree koi bhadke sung by Kishore Kumar in Amar Prem raises some philosophical questions. I find two lines, in particular, very significant: "Duniya jo pyaasa rakhe to madiraa pyaas bujhaae" (If the world thirsts, then wine will quench it.) and "par madiraa jo pyaas lagaae use kaun bujhaae?" (but if the wine itself thirsts, who can satisfy its need?)
The last verse of the same song best explains :
"majhdhaar mein naiya dole to maanjhii paar lagaae" (If in midstream a boat rocks, then the sailor can cast it ashore.) "par maanjhii jo naav dubaye to use kaun bachaae?" (But if the sailor sinks it midstream, who can save it?) If HR is most central to the organisations of today, it is time we paid attention to the motivation of HR folks!

MUSIC Anecdotes
To all intents and purposes, this year is the 50th anniversary of a rather singular achievement by a little-known, less remembered personality whom music historian Sriram Venkatakrishnan describes in these words: “Like the proverbial squirrel t hat helped Rama build a bridge, he was the chosen medium of Tyagaraja for a mammoth task.”
The fascinating story of the completion of that task by a postal sorter in the Railway Mail Service — which work contributed to what many called him in his time, RMS Sundaram Iyer — was recently narrated by Sriram.
Iyer, who worshipped regularly at the Tyagaraja samadhi in Tiruvaiyaru, was, during a visit to Benares, struck by the verses inscribed on the walls of the Tulsi Manas Mandir there. He decided that his Saint deserved no less, that he would make it his life’s work to have the kritis of Tyagaraja inscribed on the walls of the samadhi. He approached T. S. Parthasarathy, who was translating Tyagaraja’s kritis into Tamil, for his advice. Iyer told Parthasarathy that he would collect one rupee from every person he met to make his project possible.-----
With Iyer’s collection drive proving a success, by the end of 1957, the interior walls surrounding the samadhi, put up by Nagarathnammal, had been fully covered with the engraved marble slabs.
But with surplus funds available, it was decided to build a mandapam in front of, and abutting, the walls Nagarathnammal had raised around the samadhi. The Valmiki Mandapam, on which work was started in 1958 and completed in 1960, now had its inside walls embellished with more engraved marble slabs. By 1964, all Tyagaraja’s kritis had found a place on the interior walls of the shrine and the mandapam. And then Sundaram Iyer vanished. There is not even a picture of Iyer to honour his contribution . 6/2007

MY POEMS
Life is like a pack of cards,
When you are in love, it is Hearts,
When you are engaged, it is Diamonds,
When you are married, it is Clubs,
When you are dead, it is Spades!
Life is not a Tempest,
It’s not even a Midsummer Night’s Dream,
It’s not a Comedy of Errors,
It’s As You Like It.

MUSIC
Music is enchanting & enlightening, enlivening & ennobling, elevating & everlasting.
" To discern the homes of the 7 notes in the midst of the chaotic uproar is liberation." –
St. Thyagaraja
" Without music,life would have been a mistake. " --Friedrich Nietzsche

HEALTH LIFELINE (IMPORTANT )

I)
STROKE IDENTIFICATION: During a BBQ a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm, Ingrid passed away.)
She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ - had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke perhaps Ingrid would be with us today.
It only takes a minute to read this-
A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed in getting to the patient
within 3 hours which is tough.
RECOGNIZING A STROKE: Thank God for the sense to remember the "3" steps. Read and Learn! Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
1. *Ask the individual to SMILE. 2. *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS. 3. *Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. . . It is sunny out today) If he or she has trouble with any of these tasks, call help immediately and describe the symptoms to the doctor.
After discovering that a group of non-medical volunteers could identify facial weakness, arm weakness and speech problems, researchers urged the general public to learn the three questions. They presented their conclusions at the American Stroke Association's annual meeting last February. Widespread use of this test could result in prompt diagnosis and treatment of the stroke and prevent brain damage. A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.

II) HEART ATTACK SYMPTOMS--- RELIEF STRATEGY
Do not panic, Start coughing Repeatedly & Very Vigorously.
A Deep Breath should be taken Before Each Cough.
The cough must be Deep & Prolonged, as when producing sputum from Deep inside the Chest.
A Breath & a Cough must be repeated about EVERY 2 Seconds without let-up until help arrives, or
Until the Heart is felt to be beating Normally again
Deep Breaths get Oxygen into the Lungs & Coughing movements squeeze the Heart & keep the Blood circulating.
The Squeezing pressure on the Heart also helps it regain Normal Rhythm.
In this way, Heart Attack victims can get to a hospital.
