Motive behind writing the blog
I know many good readers who shall read my blog may find
many spelling and grammatical mistakes
and they may also find my blog uninteresting but I am familiar with the
fact that today’s teenagers are all morons or yahoos who neither have the
courage nor the ability to write three words in a row without a spelling
mistake (including humble me). At my father’s time they would have been kicked
out from the school as illiterates because they would be compared as the
Rickshaw wallas and nothing more. Well, let me leave aside this topic.
The main purpose (motive) behind writing this blog is to
become famous.
“Many people become famous by many ways”
I shall give some examples for explaining this line and I
know after reading my examples many girls and boys will stone me and I also
know some readers will think about my examples and will want to know on which
point I am trying to concentrate.
Example (I will restrict myself to one):-
Justin
Bieber
Every lady (including mu mother and my sister) is a FAN of him but
can any women say what is so good about him.
If you think
twice you will understand there is nothing so good about him and his songs.
I am giving examples of some men
whom the world will see no more:-
Isaac Newton

Proverbs of Einstein
A human being is a part of a whole, called by us "universe",
a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and
feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of
his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to
our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task
must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion
to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. - Albert
Einstein
Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is
blind. - Albert Einstein
There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though
nothing were a miracle. The other is as though everything were a miracle.
-Albert Einstein
Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a
man of value. - Albert Einstein
Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character. - Albert
Einstein
It would be possible to describe everything scientifically,
but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a
Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure. - Albert Einstein
Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by
understanding. - Albert Einstein
The important thing is not to stop questioning. - Albert
Einstein
Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions
which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are
even incapable of forming such opinions. - Albert Einstein
We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we
used when we created them. - Albert Einstein
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.
It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a
stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as
dead: his eyes are closed. - Albert Einstein
I am convinced that He (God) does not play dice. - Albert
Einstein
He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already
earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him
the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be
done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how
despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part
of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is
nothing but an act of murder. - Albert Einstein
I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought,
but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones. - Albert Einstein
The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for
there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead. - Albert Einstein
A man's ethical behaviour should be based effectually on
sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would
indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and
hope of reward after death. - Albert Einstein
Taken on the whole, I would believe that Ghandi's views were
the most enlightened of all the political men in our time. - Albert Einstein
As long as armies exist, any serious conflict will lead to
war. - Albert Einstein
Your fervent wishes can only find fulfilment in you succeed
in attaining love and understanding of men, and animals, and plants, and stars,
so that every joy becomes your joy and every pain your pain. - Albert Einstein
You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war. -
Albert Einstein
Study, and, in general, the pursuit of truth and beauty is a
sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all of our
lives. - Albert Einstein
The only real valuable thing is intuition. - Albert Einstein

Top ten ways to be funny
Ever noticed certain people are always being asked to emcee the company staff party or their friend’s wedding? They have funny comments to make about various topics during a conversation. They make you see things in ways that you never imagined; ways that make you see the funny side of life. They’re usually the life of the party. They make you laugh, or at least chuckle inside. Being funny allows you to establish some relationships better and faster than other people. You will become more outgoing in a crowd and may be able to set people at ease in various situations. |
 |
| If you aspire to be this type of person, then
you most likely have a mad streak in your personality that is making you stoop low enough
to actually learn how to be funny. You’re the perfect candidate for the task. While humor is an art form that seems to develop from within, it’s definitely something that can also be learned. However, it takes a lot of demented practice sessions and some real-life trial and error to master it. At first, you may see a lot of blank faces but keep trying. The more you practice this art, the more natural you will be. Funny gestures, facial expressions, and comments will become second nature. |
Being funny though is not the enough. Knowing when to be funny is paramount, and this comes only with experience – and maybe from a few weird looks from others. Obviously there are times that are appropriate and times that are not.
Humor takes on different faces in different settings and groups. There is a style of humor for wedding receptions, for large and small groups, for staff rooms, parties, friends, church, individuals, committee meetings, and even seemingly “staunch” boardroom meetings.
While actually “learning the art” of humor is too big to fit a brief article, here are ten keys to great humor:
1) Be bold. There’s nothing that kills humor more than being shy. If you are using discretion, there’s room for humor almost anywhere, including your Bible study group or corporate boardroom.
2) Humor is, in part, about telling people what they want hear but would never actually say. For example, very few people would talk about light-hearted public bathroom embarrassments. It is amazing how far you can go, even at a church function, and remain “Family Rated.”
3) Learn from others. Know someone who’s really funny? Watch them carefully. Also, check out the sitcoms on TV. There, you will find both well scripted and improvised humor, including exaggerated facial expressions and body movements that reinforce the words or theme being used.
Sitcoms are great at turning life into something surreal and funny. They take minute details of life and blow them up until you can see how funny they are. Ever watched Mr. Bean?
4) Use a mirror. If you’re going to emcee an event, or do anything in public, don’t be afraid to use a mirror to practice with. Many humorous movie stars use this technique. Even if you’re a school bus driver just making faces for the little kids in the bus parked in front of you, you’ll be amazed at how a mirror at home can help you get some laughs and some big cheesy grins from the kids.
5) Use discretion. Use appropriate humor for the appropriate crowd. Although you can stretch the border at a church function, like talking about boys turning their underwear inside out at camp to get another couple of days use out of them, you can’t use off-color language etc.
6) Take a fresh look at life situations. For example, what would a man do if his pants got wet in a “bad” spot after leaning on a sink counter in a public washroom? How would he get over the embarrassment? Hmm… How about using the hot air dryer meant for drying your hands? What would he do if someone walked in while he was drying them?
7) Stare at an object for ten minutes and see how many things you can use it for, or what misfit situations you can get into with it. What can you do with a pair of rubber gloves other than keep your hands dry while you wash dishes with them? Or how about the retractable cup holder that you that you tried to use on your computer? You know, the one that you press the button and it comes out. It’s marked “CD” for “Cup Dispenser”.
8) Things that don’t fit together. A male pastor was asked to say grace at an all-women’s award banquet. After being introduced to say grace, he got up to the microphone and said, “I am totally honored to be here and to accept this award.” The ladies burst into laughter. He continued, “When I got the call yesterday, I thought it was just to say grace or something.” During the laughter, he pretended to listen to someone in his ear piece tell him that he was just called to say grace. Relaying this conversation out loud to the audience he became an instant “hit” in a very short period of time.
That is an example of something that doesn’t fit. A male would never receive an award at a woman’s award banquet, and yes he was just called to say grace and the audience obviously knew that.
9) Learn to imitate other personalities and language accents. Learn how to act like a nerd or speak like an East Indian or Scottish person. Even using an accent for a one-sentence answer to someone’s question can get a laugh.
10) Place yourself in situations that make you come out of your shell. Take chances and experiment.
It takes fewer muscles to smile than it does to frown and if you deliver honest and sincere humor to people, you’ll be placing smiles not only on faces but also in hearts.
You can be funny.
