Here one of my all time favourite

Writen and performed by Celine Dion ...


"That's The Way It Is"

I can read your mind and I know your story
I see what you're going through
It's an uphill climb, and I'm feeling sorry
But I know it will come to you

Don't surrender 'cause you can win
In this thing called love

When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is

When you question me for a simple answer
I don't know what to say, no
But it's plain to see, if you stick together
You're gonna find a way, yeah

So don't surrender 'cause you can win
In this thing called love

When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is

When life is empty with no tomorrow
And loneliness starts to call
Baby, don't worry, forget your sorrow
'Cause love's gonna conquer it all, all

When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is

When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is

That's the way it is
That's the way it is, babe
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is.



Love is for those who believe it ...

Its SATURDAY and I'm at work...

I decided to make my career in computers, as I was a computer geek from the school days. I never thought, that being a computer programmer will be such a sucking job. It was three months, after I started working as a programmer, I realized, how bad the job was?. The whole enthusiasm was lost.

Working in a software firm, and that to in India is like donkey dragging loads on his back. Theres no acutal development as such, projects are not inovative and you do, what your project lead tells you, even though its crap. I have seen good talents wasted in Indian companies just because of their upper management. I can't be talking about any specific company over here but I feel all are the same.
Many of the people are in here for high bucks, and not passion. And getting overseas for on-site development is their main motive, as they get to travel for free.

I dont feel, I got into this industry for such reasons, I never had plans for flying overseas. I never dreamt for big bucks. My passion brought me in, and now I feel I'm in a wrong place and definitly with wrong people.
Well thats the story till now... lets see whats next.

Things change, good things are anticipated.

Got a new space... :))

Last week I got a new space for blog at http://spaces.msn.com.
The tools provided my MS are real worthy for fast blog creation and the most wonderful thing is AJAX. Now what more does a computer geek like me wants :))

Thinking of keeping that space for development purpose related to programming and stuff.

But still I love this space very much...

Triple filter - Socrates

Next time someone starts to spread gossip, think of this:

In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom.

One day the great philosopher came upon an acquaintance who ran up to him excitedly and said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students?"

Wait a moment," Socrates replied. "Before you tell me I'd like you to pass a little test.It's called the Triple Filter Test."

"Triple filter?"

"That's right," Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my student let's take a m! moment to filter what you're going to say. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"

"No," the man said, "actually I just heard about it and..."

"All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my student something good?"

"No, on the contrary..."

"So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him, even though you're not certain it's true?"

The man shrugged, a little embarrassed.

Socrates continued. "You may still pass the test though,because there is a third filter - the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my student going to be useful to me?"

"No, not really..."

"Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even Useful,! why tell it to me at all?"

The man was defeated and ashamed.

This is the reason Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem.

This is what I call LOVE ...

This is something which I heard really romantic in quite a long while. I thought love has disappeared from the face of earth. This story is of two people who kept faith in love. I bow my head, for the respect they showed to the love they cherished.
Story starts in the town of North Dakota, Mary Jane Weimer and George Longmire met im 1946. George was a law student in North Dakota and working at Grand Forks Police Dept. and Mary was working as a nurse. A friend set up a blind date, but George wasn't confirmed about this so he didn't go. Later, he called to apologise and asked her out for a dinner to make it up to her. The intented to marry then, but religious differences stood in the way. Mary Jane a Roman Catholic and George a Baptist. Eventually, both married others and started families. It seems sad but, the real part is yet to come...
Mary Jane's husband died in 2003, and George's wife died a year later. One day last May, Mary Jane called George to have a talk. The two met once again in Grand Forks to reminisce. Less than a year later, they decided to marry, and had a ceremony on Saturday.
Now this is what I call LOVE...
