Live Christmas

Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childish days; that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth; that can transport the sailor and the traveller, thousands of miles away, back to his own fire-side and his quiet home! --Charles Dickens, The Pickwick Papers, 1836

Christmas is the gentlest, loveliest festival of the revolving year - and yet, for all that, when it speaks, its voice has strong authority. --W.J. Cameron

I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. --Charles Dickens

Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful. --Norman Vincent Peale

The poor man's heart through half the year.

In the old days, it was not called the Holiday Season; the Christians called it 'Christmas' and went to church; the Jews called it 'Hanukkah' and went to synagogue; the atheists went to parties and drank.

Safe driving

Safe driving

“I hooked up my accelerator pedal in my car to my brake lights. I hit the gas,people behind me stop,and I’m gone.”

It is a clever trick but driving a car is a responsibility to be safe and others safe.Before driving or I must say starting the vehicle please check the air pressure in tyres .It will be good to check air pressure in spare tyre too. Right Air pressure is not only for a safe drive ,but it effects your fuel mileage to.

Radiator should be fully filled with col lent if it is OK check the engine oil status it should not be below than mark graved on marker. Water in wind shield glass container is filled to clean the wind shield glass ,make sure that wind shield glass is fully clean without any dirty spot on it. Going for drive put your seat belt on for your safety after that drive a little and apply the brake carefully to check brake are functioning well. Adjust your rear view mirror so that can check the coming traffic from back. While driving have patience not to be in hurry . Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead. patience will avoid you to get panic while driving .

Drive car as with such a speed so that you can handle it in emergency. Avoid applying brake regularly control the car with accelerator as well as applying proper gear as per the variation speed off the car.Drive the vehicle in such a fashion that the coming traffic may gas that what are you going to do ,before going to take turn indicator should be on.

Coming vehicle is trying to over take you let him go other wise he may be the reason of an accident. Never talk on your mobile phone .

Before reaching to a turn always bring the vehicle to slow speed by releasing the accelerator or if it is necessary bring the vehicle to lower gear. While you are passing a bus stand on the road blow horn because it is tendency off the passengers that they always try to cross the road in the front of bus.These passengers may cause an accident, the coming vehicle from same direction could not be seen by them be ware.

Teacher day

Teacher day

“Guru Govind dau khade kaake laagu paiyn Balihari Guru aapne Govind deo bataayea’ How nicely Sant kabir dass g has narrated the feelings of a student saying that teacher and god both are in standing in front of him. A doubt comes in his mind to whom he should go first for blessing by touching feet. At last he praises the teacher that you are great, with out you I can not get God.It is the knowledge given by you to get God.

The task of the excellent teacher is to stimulate "apparently ordinary" people to unusual effort. The tough problem is not in identifying winners: it is in making winners out of ordinary people. --K. Patricia Cross
