A Couple's Heartbreak

A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eyes. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for work so he asked the wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. The mother, preoccupied in the kitchen, totally forgot the matter.

The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle and, fascinated with its color, drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages. When the child collapsed, the mother hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was stunned. She was terrified how to face her husband.

When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just four words.

What do you think were the four words?

The husband just said "I Love You Darling"

The husband's totally unexpected reaction is proactive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he have taken time to keep the bottle away, this will not have happened. No
point in attaching blame. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.

Sometimes we spend time asking who is responsible or who to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. We miss out some warmth in human relationship in giving each other support. After all, shouldn't forgiving someone we love be the easiest thing in the world to do? Treasure what you have. Don't multiply pain, anguish and suffering by holding on to forgiveness.

If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much fewer problems in the world.

Take off all your envies, jealousies, unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think.

Britney Spears wants her visitation back

Britney Spears' lawyers will make a request tomorrow for Britney to have "monitored visitation in a therapeutic setting." Britney's family and friends apparently are successfully encouraging Britney to get mental health help for bipolar disorder in a "creative way." Britney has previously refused the judge's requests to undergo a 730 mental evaluation. If the judge agrees to Britney's current plan, it could prove troublesome for Kevin's lawyers, according to TMZ:

Evaluating bipolar disorder is a long process. If it's done pursuant to a 730 evaluation, the results are submitted to the court. If the Commish were to accept the alternative form of treatment, a doctor-patient privilege could prevent certain information from making its way to the court (unless the privilege is waived).

Here's the likely scenario based on what we're hearing: K-Fed (and probably the court) will not want Brit to bypass the 730 evaluation process. That could make it unlikely for Brit's lawyers to win a bid to regain visitation in a therapeutic setting.

I don't see the harm in letting Britney have the therapeutic visitation. But, if she starts speaking in a British accent, the shrink has the right to mace Britney in the mouth. Also the children alternate turns wearing a football helmet and brass knuckles to each visit. Or, wait, scratch all that. Is it legal to have a tiger in an office building? For arguments sake, let's say it's wearing a lab coat and stethoscope.

Choose to Enthuse!

As I've been speaking around the country over the past year or so, I've often asked my audiences this question: "How many of you have way too much enthusiasm? You're seeing a psychiatrist for enthusiasm management therapy, and have a seatbelt on your bed to keep you from jumping out too fast in the morning and breaking a leg?" I get lots of laughs, but almost no one raises a hand.

Then I ask how many people would be happier, more productive, and more successful if they could consistently be more enthusiastic than they are now. Almost every hand in the room goes up (those who don't raise their hands are invited to attend my remedial class on honesty).

The good news, I tell them, is that scientists have shown that there is no enthusiasm gene. Enthusiasm is a choice. You decide every morning whether or not you're going to have a good day. You can't decide what happens to you, but you can decide whether you react to it enthusiastically.

Choosing enthusiasm is the triple crown of attitude. Your organization wins because enthusiasm is the added "spark" that puts the smile into customer service. Your family, friends and coworkers win because enthusiasm is contagious, and you're helping them to be happier and more productive.

And, of course, you win because people with a lot of enthusiasm have a lot of life, and people without enthusiasm don't. They're like the man who passed away but had his life insurance denied, because since he'd never really lived, he couldn't have really died.

Energy is the fuel for enthusiasm - it's hard to be enthusiastic when you're physically out of gas. And here again, there's good news: more than we care to admit to ourselves, whether or not we have energy is also a choice.

And here's more good news: human energy is the ultimately renewable resource. The more you use it, the more of it you have.

Shilpa Shetty loses out to Rajinikanth

At a glittering ceremony for the 'NDTV Indian of the Year' awards held at the Taj Palace Hotel in New Delhi, actress Shilpa Shetty missed winning the award, while Rajnikanth, another star hailing from the South, bagged it.

In the year gone by, Rajnikanth achieved huge popularity with his superbly-scripted character in the film 'Sivaji – The Boss'. On the other hand, Shilpa Shetty received worldwide recognition for the dignity with which she stood up against racial discrimination onslaughts in the British reality show 'Celebrity Big Brother'. This not only made the actress a household name and an icon in the United Kingdom, but brought immense pride for our country, propelling her as an ambassador of equality across the globe.

"Shilpa has only been an achiever, while Rajnikanth has been a great performer," commented the actresses' publicist Dale Bhagwagar on her losing out to the award. "Shilpa has emerged the most famous Indian in the UK. Hopefully, India will reward her for this accomplishment in future," he added.

Apart from Shilpa and Rajnikanth, other nominations in the entertainment category of the 'NDTV Indian of the Year' awards, included Shah Rukh Khan (who was given a 'special award') and Himesh Reshammiya.

The jury comprised former BBC correspondent Sir Mark Tully, Kiran Karnik, Shobha De, Shekhar Gupta and former chairman of ISRO Dr K.Kasturirangan, among others.

Soundarya unveils Sultan!

The first look of Soundarya Rajnikanth's ode to her beloved father, Sultan the Warrior was unveiled with a crisp new trailer of the animation film at Inox in Chennai. Earlier, the first teaser trailer of the film was shown with Sivaji last year.

Soundarya Rajnikanth, the 23 year old daughter of the superstar and her Ocher studios are producing the 3D animated film at a cost of $ 10 million on a lavish scale in association with Reliance Adlabs. A.R Rahman will provide the music, Thotta Tharani takes care of art and the film will release in 12 different languages of the world including Tamil, Hindi, Telugu and English, by end 2008.

Says the beautiful Soundarya : " Sultan is actually Appa's story idea. It's not something you have heard before and is not rooted in Ramayana or Mahabharata. I did the screenplay and the film is a daughter's gift to her father." She added that whatever one expects from a superstar film will be there in Sultan, the warrior in an animated form with his famous style and punchlines, along with new elements.

In the trailer Rajnikanth looks atleast 20 years younger, and it is well made giving the preview audiences what they want- a lot of the superstar with his legendary mannerisms and gimmicks. Latha Rajnikanth, wife of the superstar who was present at the press meet says: " It is going to be a film that will make India and Tamilnadu proud".
