The font of all personality

Just came through this article.... thought of sharing with you guys:-)

The choice of font used in e-mails and type-written letters could say more about an individual's personality than their creative writing skills.

Graphology - the art of studying handwriting - has been used for centuries to try to analyse people's characters, but since the demise of personal handwriting, the experts have moved on to typefaces to look for clues to our identities.

Courier is seen as the choice of "sensible shoes" type of people or "anoraks" and curvy icons like Georgia or Shelly suggest a bit of a "rock chick" personality.

Font size is also important, especially for power letters where less is definitely more and a smaller typeface is preferable.
Applying for a new job? Then choose Times for your CV for a traditional company and Verdana for a more contemporary firm.
Use Courier New for "automaton-like" coldness, perhaps when resigning from a job on bad terms.
The study found rectilinear fonts were more appealing to men, while the more round and curvy fonts with prominent tails were favourites with women.
Serif styles such as Times New Roman show a compromise between old and new, conjuring up images of trustworthiness that have made them a favourite of solicitors.
Conclusions drawn from the study were that there is a huge opportunity for people to express themselves through font style, which people should exploit more fully.

Weeknd just passed away ……

It usually vanishes as soon as is any of Tusshar Kapoor movie from a theatre or as soon as Shoaib Akhtar returns to the pavilion… !!!

On Friday our office group celebrated “dabba Party”. Just to make it clear what party is this- Here all are assigned a task to cook “some dish” for “these many people” . So actually , all would cook for each other :-). Although idea was old, but to make it possible for a group of about 130 people is a big task.
One week looong preparation, who would bring what? For how many people…and How? Was all to be sorted out. Then there were bachelors to straight away say NO!!! For them we need to figure out "things" which they could buy it from market and bring...like "Aachar(pickles), Cold Drinks, Chips....etc....I was handed a task to cook “Biryani” for 7 people. Don’t know how it was, as I wasn't able to get a bite of it :-(.Then on the same day was “salad making” competition. One of my colleague and me participated eagerly . Now as per mail it was “Salad Making” and others people actually took it to “Salad Decorating”. There were too beautiful salads I should say, but still we managed to get a “Special prize” just for the awesome taste of it :-).

Weekend was again busy with matches, Although Delhi Daredevils lost it, but I was happy as even Kolkatta Knight riders lost it…yipeeeeee !!!I was happy…. :DDDDDDDDDDDDD

I don’t like Yuvi…. But he would do some thing for sure, that pushes me hard to compliment him… 1st it was six sixes…then it was an “amazing catch of Shaun Pollock…. !!! Amazing man!!!
How could I forget the last 2 sixes hit by Shane Borne....!!!Superb!!!!

Gilly was back in form… !! Who told you to retire man? You still rock!!!!
Was it sreesanth crying like a child, I wonder could any man cry in public that to like this? “Arrey seedha ek wapas daba ke marane ka na….. khel khatam….”…LOL… !!! On a serious note, It was TOTAL NATUNKII.

Last but not the least , 2 mins of condolence for Mumbai Indians… !!!Jis team ke kaptaan eevam upp-kaptaan sahyog dene mein aasamrth ho, unke liye hum poori “sahunubhooti” rakhjte hain…!!!!
(For a team where his captain and vice captain are unable to play, I have full sympathy with them…)

Did you met someone today?

Every single day of our life we are interacting with a lot of people. People whom we know or maybe we just met for the first time.

Some of them are so cheerful, funny, enthusiastic positive, optimist kind of people; others can be in bad moods, nervous crying or screaming for no reason at everyone they met. Bole toh…jaisa saara duniya ka dard inhone apne mein samet liya hain!!!!! Others are suspicious all the time and doubt every single word you are saying. What they think…are we there wife/husband dating some boy/gal!!!! But somehow,all of them can influence our mood, our day and even our life if we let them to do it.

We can avoid them for sure by not meeting them again but how about the people we meet online.(Yup I know there is facility of “BLOCKING” or you going invisible, or you going private…and lot more….). But the point here I want to talk is that , we can meet here thousands of people. This is a good thing just because your chances to find a compatible person to talk to are unlimited. But till we find that special one we are supposed to talk and interact with dumb, desperate, sad, nervous or not too serious people. If we spend too much of our time with an inappropriate person, it can have some bad influence on us and our mood.Another fact I have notice is that many of us are tempted to discus our problems with unknown people because we know that them can't tell our problems to all of our friends.Each time I listen this and it reminds me…. "Anyone will give you an advice but nobody is going to give you a slice of bread, when you most need it."

The idea is that if we are paying attention to everyone around us, they can influence our life in a dramatic way. I am saying this because no one can know better than us what is happening in our life and in our soul. Nobody can know better than us what we really want to have, what is missing, or where we want to be in our life. Just be the master of your life.

Caller Tunes

Hello tunes - the myriad melodies you hear when you call someone on the mobile phone - could reflect the user's personality and also affect the mood of the listener.

'Bright and light tones may reflect a bright personality but it could also be associated with someone who is feeling low and wants to feel bright. On the other hand,'Sad tones suggest an underlying depression or low mood. Romantic tones have their own story to tell.

But it could be other way as well where tunes could prove to be a complete contrast to the user's personality.

'When we choose something, our conscious and sub-conscious minds are involved. And unknowingly, our choice reflects our personality. In an effort to be what you feel like, the choice of the hello tune can depict the core of a person. But sometimes it can be completely contradictory to that as well.

'The hello tune also depends on the nature and surroundings of an individual. If someone is religious by nature, he will put a spiritual tune. And college-going people will prefer a trendy tune.

Recently, I encountered whole together a new twist to caller tunes, a guy who had a hindi caller tune was called up by his client(somewhere out of India) , each time he dialed and there was music in hindi for which he thought as an automated message in some other language due to unavailability of network or some other technical problem and so he used to disconnect it each time, thinking trying again later.

Every damn thing comes with a demerit!!!

Hair Crap

I was reading Maximum City-Suketu Mehta, where he narrated that there was scenery embrodied by human hair. Although after reading it I felt likes YUCKS!!!

But then I realized, my hair have gone half since I have landed in Pune. Its like I roll my hands and there 5-6 hair on my hand. So I could collect them…and not one…I could have so many scenery with those “valuable hairs”.

Now I elaborated more… How proud my great great grand sons and daughters would feel…Ahhh….!!! A scenic beauty embroided by my “dadi’s hair “.

Again there was a twist… few days back I was watching Discovery where they showed that Mughal’s brought “one hair” of Prophet Muhammad and is kept there in Jama majjid. And people worship it .

No No…I m not comparing myself with Prophet… Allah mujhe maaf karna….!!!

But was wondering… even if I could keep my one hair…and then again I would give a chance to my great great grand sons and daughters to feel proud :-).

Then suddenly I felt that I should do something for hair loss….!!!

No lotions, shampoos…. Or anything is doing any good. So better remove them….:-). Yup I mean “Go Bald”!!!!

But then… how would my family react to it….. although I looked cute after my “mundan”…but now its not my “mundan “ time but to get married…and who would marry a bald gal? ;-)

Then I thoought of all beauty parlor, there is a rate list of all types of style except “to shave off” . Does anybody has any idea?

No No I m not looking any “ Nai kii dukaan”(Barber Shop)….Ahhhhh then this reminded me, when I was young How my uncle used to take me to “ Nai kii dukaan” and hair cut was settled in just Rs 2/- and now I pay 200 bucks…!!!!

Ghor kalyug aa gaya hain…..ghor kalyug!!!!(Is this called Inflation!!!! ;-))
Suddenly I realized, this is a crap which could result in more "HAIR LOSS"

Strangers

Yesterday , I just picked my phone and dialed a number. It was picked up on other side and there was a question “Kaisi hain?”.

And then we chatted for 1.5 hr or so !!!!

This was one of my routine friend, to whom I used to talk everyday like anything, had a fight and both went silent for a month or so and suddenly when I dialed we had so many things to talk and just not “about the fight”. We were enjoying it….. After every 5 mins I used to say… Kitna aacha lag raha hain, itne dino ke baad baat karke :). And he agreed on that…!!

In a relation its better to be strangers sometimes, you would enjoy more then anybody could.

I have seen many of friends who are committed , when they apart How they are dying to meet each other and when they meet… its like “ samundar ka saara pyaar udel do “!!!!

Be strangers for some time…. And would really add spice to your life :).

Taaza Gosst!!

Yesterday I was watching NGC(Yup, I sometimes do that :)), was at the peak of my dinner ie my favorite "sewai kii kheer" was waiting to serve my taste buds!!
This guy on TV was wondering in a jungle , suddenly he saw a 'zebra' lying DEAD!!! He went near to him, confirmed that its dead and took out a knife and said " Isse aacha aur taaza gosst kahan milega?' . His knife pierced his body,cut it through and heavy piece of 'gosst' was in his mouth!!!

My kheer is still waiting for me ..............

Any Answer?

We (women) demand for equal rights!! Equal pay, equal status…..and what not!!!We scream if we are exploited, we scream if we are paid less then men!! We protest against them!! We celebrate WOMEN'S DAY……..!!!!

But when it comes to get married, why do we demand that MY MAN should earn more then me?

Yup there is also an exception to it, if its an love marriage, we are so deeply involved in him that "SAL" doesn't matter to us , but when its an arrange "we expect him to earn more then us"?

Is it not a double standard? :f

HUGS!!!!

Hugging is a miracle medicine that can relieve many physical and emotional problems.

Physicians often tell their patients to use hugging as part of their treatment for pain.
I guess and may be ,even others would agree hugging can help you live longer, protect against illness, cure depression and stress, strengthen family relationships, and even help you sleep without pills. I read this somewhere that when a person is touched, the amount of hemoglobin in their blood increases significantly. Hemoglobin is the part of the blood that carries vital supplies of oxygen to all organs of the body, including the heart and the brain. An increase in hemoglobin tones up the whole body, helps prevent disease, and speeds recovery from illness. :z

Hugs can have an astonishing therapeutic effect by providing a sense of companionship and happiness.

Hugging can lift depression, enabling the body's immune system to become "tuned up." Hugging breathes fresh life into a tired body and makes you feel younger and more vibrant.
Hug your spouse, your children, friends, and relatives. The strong embrace of a friend whenever you meet is just as beneficial. It's a marvelous way to improve the quality of your life.

The Bear Hug :)
Use both arms, face your partner, and perform a full embrace.
The best medical advice is four hugs a day -- one at breakfast, lunch, dinner, and bedtime. :L

Men and something good about them...

Although divs said casually, I thought of taking it seriously ;-), and so I m taking up this tag :-).

What I like about men… actually there are many things to mention but can't be possible ...no no you dirty minds not about that, but many small gestures make us happy….and to write about those, there would be many stories... so lets see how many can I coem up with....

· When they hug you just because they found you cho-chweeet…. :L
· Touch your cheeks…. And call with names…. Alllle le…mellla baacha… :$· When you did something very stupid, which is not expected and instead of cursing you… they just cuddle you, I wonder how easily we fit into their arms ;-)
· On a busy road when one need to cross the road, or when some gang is coming from other side being protective they hold your hands or put there hands around your shoulder , just to be sure we are safe :d
· Complimenting other girls, just to make us jealous…. :@
· How awful the dish is, but still…”Arrey nahi aacha bana hain ….lol on this " :$
· When they shares there secrets of all that “mischievous” they and there friends did. :x· I just love the nok-jhok between a girl and a boy, which does include them being a flirt :L
· This one which even divs mentioned… how patiently they listen …. :d


Can’t think of any other “good qualities” …may be I ll add some time later….:-)
