Classic Quote #1

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
—President Theodore Roosevelt, Sorbonne, 1910

Raakhi is around the corner. No ..am not talking abt any female. This is about the saadiyon se chali aa rahi tradition (or u can call it "tyohaar") most dreaded by all the males in India. Here's one xtremely hilarious email :

Agar aap bus,train,plane ya kahin se bhi aa jaa rahe hon aur kisi mahila/larki ke hath mein phool,dhaga,chain ya chamakti hue koi bhi vastu dekhein to turant wahan se bhag jaye.Ye vastu RAKHI ho sakti hai. Apki zara se laaparwahi apko BHAI bana sakti hai.

Transaltion:
If you are travelling by bus,train,plane or by any means and you spot any female with a flower, thread,bracelet or any glittering object the immediately run away from that place and seek hiding. That object could also be a RAKHI. A little carelessness on your part can make you her BROTHER.
