v      Care after the demise of patients is useless.

v      We can bless the god to save the life of the oxen, who are willing to jump from the cliff, but can not go beneath the cliff to save them.

v      Hope of ill gain is the beginning of loss.

v      It is what we learn after we think we know it all that counts.

v      A man who is at the top is a man who has the habit of getting to the bottom.

v      Happiness is a wine of the rarest vintage, and seems insipid to a vulgar taste.

v      Experience is a private, and a very largely speechless affair.

7. Satire/s or Joke/s:

God is very kind to men since they do not have bore any pregnancy complications. In the past men and women both give birth to babies from thigh and mouth wherever they want. But god wanted to give more responsibilities to women since they are more sincere to babies for taking care and rare. In that purpose not to bore more burden the god cut in between the thigh of women to give birth for babies.  Then negligent men do not bother to give birth to babies. 

Moral: If you are more sincere, you will get more burdens and more work loads.  Hidne Goruko Badhi Puchhar Nimonthne Nepali Chalan.

A Satsanga Fellow Mr. Nati Kaji Khadka said to a beautiful lady, “I can say any marks inside your body just due to my yoga practice, but you have to live only with me 7 days in a room.”

The lady laugh and nodded.

Then I said, “I can day your character and features of future life.”

October 4, 2004. Guava, Blue Water Cannel and Big Pond. I Picked up guavas.  One guava was flown in a cannel of blue water.  I went along with the cannel to pick up it along the big pond of dark blue water.  I saw many students along there enjoying over. Finally I was able to catch up the guava that was almost to fall down into the big pond.  I saw my mother and Nageshwori tree and big pond of my village Rangrung.

October 2, 2004: Naked Lady.  I saw a beautiful lady naked and I touched her.

 

10. Note/s:

How to protect your computer from virus?

1. Do not open any files attached to an email from an unknown, suspicious or untrustworthy source.

2. Do not open any files attached to an email unless you know what it is, even if it appears to come from a dear friend or someone you know. Some viruses can replicate themselves and spread through email. Better be safe than sorry and confirm that they really sent it.

3. Do not open any files attached to an email if the subject line is questionable or unexpected. If the need to do so is there always save the file to your hard drive before doing so.

4. Delete chain emails and junk email. Do not forward or reply to any to them. These types of email are considered spam, which is unsolicited, intrusive mail that clogs up the network.

5. Do not download any files from strangers.

6. Exercise caution when downloading files from the Internet. Ensure that the source is a legitimate and reputable one. Verify that an anti-virus program checks the files on the download site. If you're uncertain, don't download the file at all or download the file to a floppy and test it with your own anti-virus software.

7. Update your anti-virus software regularly. Over 500 viruses are discovered each month, so you'll want to be protected. These updates should be at the least the product's virus signature files. You may also need to update the product's scanning engine as well.

8. Back up your files on a regular basis. If a virus destroys your files, at least you can replace them with your back-up copy. You should store your backup copy in a separate location from your work files, one that is preferably not on your computer.

9. When in doubt, always err on the side of caution and do not open, download, or execute any files or email attachments. Not executing is the more important of these caveats. Check with your product vendors for updates which include those for your operating system web browser, and email. One example is the security site section of Microsoft located at http://www.microsoft.com/security

10. If you are in doubt about any potential virus-related situation you find yourself in, you may report a virus to our virus team. http://us.mcafee.com/root/faqs.asp?faq=453

 Although still poorly understood, emotion seems to exert definite influences on parts of the brain that control attention, perception and learning. For example, the brain's emotional machinery appears to connect directly to its parts responsible for attention, absorbing new information, forming memories and making decisions.

After his infamous 1997 ear-biting attack on Evander Holyfield, the Hollywood Wax Museum moved boxer Mike Tyson's figure to the Chamber of Horrors – next to the figure of Dr. Hannibal Lecter (from The Silence of the Lambs).
