Patriotism, is it a seasonal feeling?

We are gona Celebrate August 15th. imm... We all says now we are proud to be an Indian, we will die for our country and so on. Well is it a seasonal feeling? Do we think so in other months too?

We talk about our country, patriotism and so on in this near by dates, but do we really mean it?

I need your comments. Is it a seasonal feeling. Do we remember, we are Indians every time? I think we remember only when we are watching international sports and games or when such days came,or when watching a movie? Is this day to remind us we are Indians?Is this day celebrating to remind lakhs of people died for our country?

When we hear "Sarfaroshi Ki thamanna , ab hamare dil mein hein..." it likes getting energised. But is that feeling still in our heart when we are not listening the music? Are you sarfarosh?

'Sarfarosh' = One who is ready to stake his life (for a cause).

'Sarfaroshi' = Readiness to stake life.

How many of u celebrated Quit India day? It was on August 9th (Quit India : 1942 August 9). How many of you were aware about it?

Quit India Movement was one of the most important mile stone in our freedom struggle. If we are proud to be an Indian, if we do remember about the people who sacrifice their life, then how come we forget the day?

I am not different from you people...Really I am ashamed of myself. Because if I am proud to be an Indian, if I am that much patriot, me too will not be like this.......

Art of Hand shaking!

Whats in a hand shake? You may wonder on it, coz some of you may never realize that a hand shake can convey so many meanings.

When u offer a handshake, it convey lots of meaning depending upon the position of palm, the pressure you insert and the time taken for the hand shake.

Let us discuss about the position of palm first...

1. Palm down

Keeping our palm down while hand shake means we are superior or we are strong. This gives the message that the man with palm down is more stronger or he is leading one or simply your Boss [;)]

2. Palm up

This is something like , we are on the other guy's service. This "at your service" indication is mostly done when we offer a service for our client.


3. Palm Vertical

The most generous way to offer a handshake is palm vertical. It sends the signal of cooperation. "

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Have you ever think about this things?

Then let us talk about pressure inserted while shaking hand

Pressure

It depends on geographical locations, as in some place, the firm hand shake, i mean inserting more pressure means, he is impolite to you. In some places it shows that you are confident about the thing. It also express that you agree the deal and so on.

If an American woman, to the Far East , she has to care a lot.. Taking a man's hand and giving it a firm press, signals him that the woman has a sexual interest. So please do not be surprised, if the man reacts "strangely" to you !

Length of time you shake the hand.

The longer you keep holding the hand, the more powerful you look.

Doing the same in America it is regarded as rude!

So make it gentle and normal


Just try out these things yourself............comment be back ur experiences....


with love
