IS SALARY PAYMENT ENOUGH FOR AN EMPLOYEE ?
An employee gets salary against his time devoted to his company, but the question is that if it is enough to get salary against time?
To answer it, let's look at - Time. Time is essentially LIFE in other words. LIFE is TIME available to a person in his lifetime. So the question is what is real value for LIFE. Life's purpose is ENJOY THE MOMENT. To deliver value out of life, one has to enjoy it.
Now the question is how does one enjoy. The universal phenomenon is that one enjoys while one learns. That's why even the best enjoyment gets boring after repetitions. The feeling to know something, still unknown is the cause of enjoyment.
So the value of time can not be adjusted with salary payments. The only way to get paid for time, is that the employee is learning at his job. So the key is to learn, if you want to get real value out of your job.

HOW CAN YOU BE HAPPY WHEN NEWS ARE GETTING WORSE!
If you read history, you will find nothing new!
HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF. THE LIFE GOES IN CYCLE.
The universe is always same. A continuous stream of events is happening and repeating again and again. The whole purpose of this universe is to let us be happy forever. To reach to ultimate joy, is the whole purpose of life.
'Getting sad over what's happening' is not different than 'getting sad during a bad dream'. According to Hindu philosophy this whole world is a dream with open eyes.
Nothing is permanent here. So when you are so happy about some thing, just remember that it will pass away. When you are so sad about something, just remind yourself that it will pass away.
Big events/ articles/ achievements can make you happy for sometime but only after a long period of struggle and with passage of time, the happiness evaporates.
On the other hand there are so many small things/events which can make you happy again and again. At some point in life you find that there is less struggle and more peace. Getting happy with small things and ignoring what makes you sad, is the key to happiness. In the disasters, when you feel an urge to do something, do your bit and you will be happy. Life is difficult when you try to live with your mind. It becomes easier when you ignore bad and get happiness from small actions/events. There are many creatures like honeybee who have shorter life span and bigger struggles, still we praise them. Our happiness is an internal matter and it has got little to do with external events.
When we raise this question, why is it so and feel helpless then we become sad. If we accept that it is so because it is to be so, then we are just calm and will see what should be done at our end. Some of us are happy with leading people to change, some of us are happy contributing some money to needy ones, some of us are happy to contribute time (voluntary services) and some of us just keep on talking or keep on thinking about it. We have to understand our own nature and act accordingly. When we act according to our nature, we become happy.

Women’s tears kill men's sex drive
(ANI,Jan 7, 2011)
They say tears are woman's best arsenal – and they probably are – for they are powerful enough to dampen a man's sexual arousal, according to a new study.
According to Noam Sobel, a cognitive neuroscientist at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, tears contain chemical signals that decrease sexual arousal and testosterone levels in men, reports Nature.
In the study, men were asked to sniff vials containing either the women's tears or saline that had been applied to their cheeks.
Results showed that men who sniffed the tears perceived those women as sexually less attractive than did men who sniffed saline.
And men who took a whiff of tears (and not saline) reported a decrease in sexual arousal. These men also reported reduced activity in the areas of brain that are associated with sexual arousal, such as the hypothalamus.
"I think the study has used sound methodology and the results indeed are fascinating. But as far as I know, there is no clear logical, theoretical or empirical justification to design a study on the effects of tears on sex," Nature quoted Ad Vingerhoets, who studies emotion at Tilburg University in the Netherlands, as saying.
Interestingly, on the other hand, tears are considered to heighten empathy and induce caring behaviour, and they act as sexual attractants in mice but decrease sexual arousal in humans.
Denise Chen, who studies human olfaction at Rice University in Houston, Texas, said that to explore whether tears evoked by different emotions have different effects, the researchers should also perform experiments in which they elicit happy weeping, or neutral tears caused by allergens or irritants such as onions.
She concluded, "overall, as a first study, it's very exciting and it suddenly opens the door for a lot more studies in the future".

Love and Marriage
Do not marry whom you love!
AND
Love whom you marry!
If there is love without marriage, do not kill that love by marriage.
Once you are married with someone, love him/her. You will enjoy your life and will be satisfied with your life.
Marriage is RESTING PLACE for TIRED soul.
Always remember after marriage: What you have got is GEM. Even GEMS have faults and seems better or worse when compared to others. Every GEM is unique and beautiful, changes its shine with cut and angle of light.
NO KNOWLEDGE WITHOUT COLLEGE. NO LIFE WITHOUT WIFE.
A joke: There are two types of man: hus-mukh (cheerful), hus-band (No more laughter).
Love to spouse is just like love to family members, full of duties and responsibilities.
Nobody loves, everybody expects love.
Love is LOVE when there is no expectation. If you do not expect, then love turns out to be DIVINE LOVE. ANYONE whom you love, becomes GOD for you. Either it is a stone statue of a Hindu God or Buddha or Jain Tirthankar, or a pet, or a family member, or a friend, or your life partner.
LOVE is when you loose your senses at every sight. LOVE needs only company, nothing else. Do not kill such love by marriage. Marriage doesn't have enough freedom for survival of love. FREEDOM is OXYGEN for LOVE.
LOVE gets life when you are not together. LOVE craves for company but does not need company for its survival.
LOVE happens with physical body but transcends physical body. LOVE is full of imaginations. LOVE sees what nobody sees. LOVE is immortal, beyond mortal body. Even after marrying to someone else, LOVE survives in memories and imaginations.
LOVE IS DIVINE. LOVING ALL IS BEING DIVINE. LOVING ONE IS PATH TO LOVING ALL.
AND
