I encountered with this question on my Appraisal review meeting. My Boss told to me and my team member to set you own goal for social service and rate yourself on the basis of the goal. I was a bit confused. I had lots of questions about this rating. Like -
1. For doing some thing for our socity, we have to set some resolution?
2. We should do the social service only because to get promotion or good point in our professional?
3. OK! If I am doing some social activity like donating blood to anyone and not keeping any proof for that it means it is worth? In that case I shouldn't donate my blood, which will save anyone's life, if that hospital is not providing any certificate for that?
4. If we are doing any social work to get some good score in my appraisal, then is it not a selfishness?
As per me, I am doing lots of those works which gives me self satisfaction and also fall under social service. But I don't have any proof for that. The main thing is, I am not running for any certificates whatever I am doing. I don't care for this, if it is not helping in my appraisal anymore. At least it is saving one life on some day. It is giving a sweet smile on the face of a little poor girl.
What's your opinion on this?
A mother and her young inquisitive son were flying Jet Airlines from Mumbai to Delhi. The son (who had been looking out the window turned
to his mother and asked, "If dogs have baby dogs and cats have baby cats, why don't planes have baby planes?"
The mother (who couldn't think of an answer) told her son to ask the flight attendant. So the boy dutifully asked the flight attendant, "If
dogs have baby dogs and cats have baby cats, why don't planes have baby planes?"
The flight attendant responded, "Did your mother tell you to ask me that?"
The little boy admitted that she did.
"Well, then, tell your mother that there are no baby planes because Jet airways always pulls out on time. Now, let your mother explain
that to you."
While walking down the street one day a "INDIAN man" is tragically hit by a truck and dies. His soul arrives in heaven and is met by Gods angel at the entrance.
'Welcome to heaven,' says the Angel. 'Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a Good Man around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you.'
'No problem, just let me in,' says the man.
'Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity.'
'Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,' says the Man..
'I'm sorry, but we have our rules.'
And with that, the Angel escorts him to the elevator and he goes down,down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are some of his friends and some Indian politicians who had died after amassing India's wealth.
Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, Shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had, while getting Rich at the expense of the people.
They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and champagne.
Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go.
Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises.
The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where the Angel is waiting for him.
'Now it's time to visit heaven.'
So, 24 hours pass with the Man joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and the Angel returns.
'Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity.'
The Man reflects for a minute, then he answers: 'Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell.'
So the Angel escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.
Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. He sees his friends and the politicians, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above. The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder. 'I don't understand,' stammers the Man. 'Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends and politicians look miserable. What happened?'
The devil looks at him, smiles and says, 'Yesterday we were campaigning.
Today you voted.' !!!
*Think before u vote!!!*
Yesterday(3rd May 2009) I shifted in my new house. We(my two friends and myself) shifted here because it is economically good, if you will compare it with my old house.
My old house was almost in the mid of commercial area of Chennai. Within 100 meters you can find one Big Bazar, three super market, two small shopping mall, Bus Depot, one famous theater and one very popular Tamil movie studio i.e. AVM Studio. Latter I'll write about AVM Studio.. :) But it was too much crowded. You can hear anytime vehicles horn. They were stopped only in between 2 AM to 4 AM in the night.
My new house is also in the mid of Chennai but now we are in the residential area. Now we are in K.K.Nagar(Kalaignar Karunanidhi Nagar). I was habituated for noisy environment but yesterday I didn't heard any noise from outside. And that was the only reason why I didn't slept well yesterday? Since it was my night in that house so....... ;)
