    INBOX Dear Nayanar

    Glad to receive Lineage September 2013 issue. I have read it completelyexcept Tips on Investment. I have enjoyed reading lineage and I thank andcongratulate all who took pains to contribute the matter that made lineage anenjoyable electronic journal. E C Joseph

    Dear kunhiraman/nayanar sir,Recd the sep issue of Lineage..thank u .In this issue we have more material for hearty laugh..Smt

    Sugatha kumary's poem is appropriate for this time. Makes our hearts heavy.I always used to wonderthe poet's ability to present subjects we come across every day in the life in such impactful way

    All the contents of this issue were very interesting; i finished reading in one stretch...HAPPY ONAM to all fellow Engineers Vaidyanathan P.R

    Divorce Letter Par ExcellenceDear Wife,

    Im writing you this letter to tell you that Im leaving you forever. Ive been a good man to you for 7 years & I havenothing to show for it. These last 2 weeks have been hell. Your boss called to tell me that you quit your job today& that was the last straw. Last week, you came home & didnt even notice I had a new haircut, had cooked yourfavourite meal & even wore a brand new pair of silk boxers. You ate in 2 minutes, & went straight to sleep afterwatching all of your soaps. You dont tell me you love me anymore; you dont want sex or anything that connectsus as husband & wife. Either youre cheating on me or you dont love me anymore; whatever the case, Im gone.

    Your Ex-HuP.S. dont try to find me. Your sister& I are moving away to West Virginia together! Have a great life!

    Dear Ex-Husband,

    Nothing has made my day more than receiving your letter. Its true you & I have been married for 7 years,although a good man is a far cry from what youve been. I watch my soaps so much because they drown out yourconstant whining & griping. Too bad that doesnt work. I DID notice when you got a haircut last week, but the 1stthing that came to mind was You look just like a girl! Since my mother raised me not to say anything if you cantsay something nice, I didnt comment. And when you cooked my favourite meal, you must have gotten meconfused with MY SISTER, because I stopped eating pork 7 years ago. About those new silk boxers: I turnedaway from you because the $49.99 price tag was still on them, & I prayed it was a coincidence that my sister had

    just borrowed $50 from me that morning. After all of this, I still loved you & felt we could work it out. So when I hitthe lotto for 10 million dollars, I quit my job & bought us 2 tickets to Jamaica But when I got home you were gone.Everything happens for a reason, I guess. I hope you have the fulfilling life you always wanted. My lawyer saidthat the letter you wrote ensures you wont get a dime from me. So take care.

    SignedYour Ex-

    Rich As Hell & FreeP.S. I dont know if I ever told you this, but my sister Carla was born Carl. I hope thats not a problem.

    Good leaders are good followers as well..A young woman was filling out an application for college when she came across the question: Are you a leader?

    She thought she had better be brutally honest, so she answered, 'No.'She was convinced when she sent the application in that she'd never hear from them because of that answer.

    But she received a letter back from the school that read . . . 'We have reviewed numerous applications and, todate, there will be some 1,452 new leaders attending school next year. We have decided to accept yourapplication because we felt it was imperative that they have at least one follower.'

    Should all of us be leaders all of the time? Isn't there a time to follow as well as lead?

    One man likes to tell about the day he purchased a novelty sign and hung it on his office door. The sign read . . .'I'm the boss.' The next day he came to work he noticed that the office comedian affixed a sticky note to his doorthat read . . .'Your wife called. She wants her sign back.'

    He may be the boss at work, but home is different altogether. In marriage and family as well as most socialrelationships, sometimes we lead and sometimes we follow the lead of another. If the so-called boss happens to

    be an effective leader at work, he has probably learned that getting his own way all of the time does not producegood results. As it turns out, the best leaders are also excellent followers. Why?

    1. Good leaders share leadership. They know when to follow and when to lead.

    2. Good leaders build their skills on following role models for the behaviors they want to learn. What they admirein another, they copy.

    3. Good leaders exhibit humility. They remain open to suggestion. When they need it, they ask for help and followgood advice.

    In other words, good leaders are also good followers. They know when to follow in the footsteps of others andwhen to leave tracks of their own.

    You may be the boss, but you will be a leader when you also learn how to follow.Steve Goodier / Suha

    Self-confidence will change your lifeThere was a business executive who was deep in debt and could see no way out.

    Creditors were closing in on him. Suppliers were demanding payment. He sat on the park bench, head in hands,wondering if anything could save his company from bankruptcy.

    Suddenly an old man appeared before him. I can see that something is troubling you he said.

    After listening to the executives woes, the old man said, I believe I can help you.

    He asked the man his name, wrote out a check, and pushed it into his hand saying, Take this money. Meet mehere exactly one year from today, and you can pay me back at that time.

    Then he turned and disappeared as quickly as he had come.

    The business executive saw in his hand a check for $500,000, signed by John D. Rockefeller, then one of therichest men in the world!

    I can erase my money worries in an instant! he realized. But instead, the executive decided to put the uncashedcheck in his safe. Just knowing it was there might give him the strength to work out a way to save his business, hethought.

    With renewed optimism, he negotiated better deals and extended terms of payment. He closed several big sales.Within a few months, he was out of debt and making money once again.

    Exactly one year later, he returned to the park with the uncashed check. At the agreed-upon time, the old manappeared. But just as the executive was about to hand back the check and share his success story, a nurse camerunning up and grabbed the old man.

    Im so glad I caught him! she cried. I hope he hasnt been bothering you. Hes always escaping from the resthome and telling people hes John D. Rockefeller.

    And she led the old man away by the arm.

    The astonished executive just stood there, stunned. All year long hed been wheeling and dealing, buying andselling, convinced he had half a million dollars behind him.

    Suddenly, he realized that it wasnt the money, real or imagined, that had turned his life around. It was hisnewfound self-confidence that gave him the power to achieve anything he went after.

    Sharpen your axe continually

    Two men were engaged in chopping wood. One of the men worked hard all day, seldom took a break, and tookonly 20 minutes for lunch. The other man took several breaks a day, spent 45 minutes for lunch, and even took a15-minute nap before going back to work.

    The first man became increasingly frustrated because, no matter how hard he worked, the other man's pile ofchopped wood was always much bigger than his at the end of the day.

    I don't understand how you do it, said the first man one day. Every time I look around, you are sitting down, andyet you cut more wood than I do. Why is that?

    With a smile, the second man replied, Did you also notice that while I was sitting down, I was sharpening myaxe? SuhaiTO TOP

    Long live daughters!A couple made a deal the night of their wedding to not open the door of their room to anybody whocomes knocking in the morning for any reason. In the morning the parents of the husband came &knocked on the door, the husband and the wife were looking at each other& as they agreed before, theydidn't open the door. After a while the parents of the bride came knocking at the door to check on them,the couple were looking at each other ,then the bride dropped a tear and started crying , she said : "Icannot keep them knocking & not open the door, I miss them already"

    The husband didn't say anything & he let her open the door for her parents. Years passed & the couplehad 5 children, the first ones were boys & the 5th was a little girl. When she was born the father wasextremely happy that God has blessed him with her, & he made a celebration for her in grand style,people were so amazed with his joy & his happiness that they asked him, why are you so happy with hermore than you were before with her older brothers?

    He answered coolly: "She is the one who will open the door for me Baby girls are the comfort of theeyes of their father...They hold the key to their mothers hearts...Daughters are really unique. They carefor their parents even after they are married...You rarely hear of daughters abusing their parents...Longlive daughters!

    An encouraging word might change a life!A young Polish boy wanted to play piano, but his teacher told him that his fingers were too stubby andthat he would never play well. Discouraging words!

    Then one day he met the great pianist Anton Rubinstein. The famous musician gave this young boy thefirst bit of musical encouragement he ever received. Young man, Rubinstein said, you might be able toplay the piano. In fact, I think you can...if you will practice seven hours a day.

    Seven hours a day might sound daunting. But that was all the boost this boy needed. The greatRubinstein had told him he could do it. He might have to dedicate most of his time to practice, but hecould do it. He could be good. After all, Rubinstein said so.

    He did practice for many hours every day and his hard work was rewarded. Years later, Jan Paderewskibecame one of the most famous pianists of his time. An encouraging word carried with it enough powerto ignite a young boys eager spirit, and the resulting fire of passion burned brightly in the musician'sheart for decades.Your encouraging word, given today, may forever change a receptive life. / Suhai

    Wit.. A man explained inflation to his wife thus:

    'When we married, you measured 36-24-36. Now you're 42-42-42. There's more of you,but you are not worth as much. That is what happens to our currency during inflation.'

    ..and W isdomWe spend the first twelve months of our childrens lives teaching them to walk and talk and thenext twelve telling them to sit down and shut up.Phyllis Diller.

    Be Nice to Your SpouseIt is important for a husband to understand that his wordshave tremendous power in his wifes life. He needs to blessher with words. Shes given her life to love and care for him, topartner with him, to create a family together, to nurture hischildren. If he is always finding fault in something shes doing,always putting her down, he will reap horrendous problems inhis marriage and in his life. Moreover, many women today aredepressed and feel emotionally abused because theirhusbands do not bless them with their words. One of theleading causes of emotional breakdowns among marriedwomen is the fact that women do not feel valued. One of themain reasons for that deficiency is because husbands arewillfully or unwittingly withholding the words of approvalwomen so desperately desire. If you want to see God dowonders in your marriage, start praising your spouse. Startappreciating and encouraging her. Every single day, ahusband should tell his wife, I love you. I appreciate you.

    Youre the best thing that ever happened to me. A wife should do the same for her husband. Yourrelationship would improve immensely if youd simply start speaking kind, positive words, blessing yourspouse instead of cursing him or her. / Suhair

    Helpful Satan

    There was a poor young minister whose new wife was extravagant. When she came home one day inan expensive coat, he exclaimed, "You know we can't afford clothes like that!" "I'm sorry," she said."The devil made me buy it." "You should have said 'Satan, get thee behind me!' , the ministeradmonished. "I did," his wife replied. "But he called over my shoulder that it fit me beautifully in theback, too."

    TIPS ON INVESTMENT IN SHARES- CXXIV

    The month of September also witnessed as is the present trend, high volatility. Thesensex from the low of 18235 on 3 rd Sep made a rally and reached a four year high of20645 on 19 th. Likewise the Nifty went up from 5341 on 3 rd to a high of 6116 on 19 th. Threason was not based on any improvement in the economic scenario, but was due to theeuphoria generated by the change of regime at the Reserve Bank of India with effect from5/9/13.The markets suffered great set back with announcement of half yearly policy bythe new Governor of RBI on 20 th. The market expectation was that the new governor willreduce the interest rates. What happened was the opposite.
