Quotes about India.
We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made.
Albert Einstein.


India is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend and the great grand
mother of tradition.
Mark Twain.

dream of existence, it is India.

Below are the Interview Questions, which were asked in HR Round..... 

No one will GET second chance to impress.... 

Very very Impressive Questions and Answers..... ... 

 

 

Question 1: 

You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, 

it's raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see 

three people waiting for a bus: 

An old lady who looks as if she is about to die. 

An old friend who once saved your life. 

The perfect partner you have been dreaming about. 

Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing very well that 

there could only be one passenger in your car? 

This is a moral/ethical dilem ma that was once ac tually used as part of a 

job application. 

* You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus 

you should save her first;

* or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and 

this would be the perfect chance to! pay him back. 

* However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again. 

The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming 

up with his answer. Guess what was his answer? 

He simply answered: 

"I would give the car keys to my Old friend and let him take the lady to 

the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner 

of my dreams." 

Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought 

limitations. Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box." 

 

Question 2:

What will you do if I run away with your sister?" 

The candidate who was selected answered " I will not get a better match 

for my sister than you sir" 

 

Question 3: 

Interviewer (to a student girl candidate) - What is one morning you woke 

up & found that you were pregnant. 

Girl - I will be very excited and take an off, to celebrate with my husband. 

Normally an unmarried girl will be shocked to hear this, but she managed 

it well. Why I should think it in the wrong way, she said later when asked 

 

Question 4:

Interviewer: He ordered a cup of coffee for the candidate. Coffee arrived

kept before the candidate, then he asked what is before you? 

Candidate: Instantly replied "Tea" 

He got selected. 

You know how and why did he say "TEA" when he knows very well that coffee 

was kept before. 

(Answer: The question was "What is before you (U - alphabet) Reply was 

"TEA" ( T - alphabet) 

Alphabet "T" was before Alphabet "U" 

 

Question 5: 

Where Lord Rama would have celebrated his "First Diwali"? 

People will start thinking of Ayodya, Mitila [Janaki's place], Lanka 

etc... 

But the logic is, Diwali was a celebrated as a mark of Lord Krishna 

Killing N arakasura. In Dusavata ar, Krishnavatha ar comes after 

Raa mavatha ar. 

So, Lord Rama would not have celebrated the Diwali At all! 

 

Question 6: 

The interviewer asked to the candidate "This is your last question of the 

interview. Please tell me the exact position of the center of this table 

where u have kept your files."

Candidate confidently put one of his finger at some point at the table 

and told that this was the central point at the table. 

Interviewer asked how did u get to know that this being the central point 

of this table, then he answers quickly that 

"sir u r not likely to ask any more question, as it was the last question 

that u promised to ask....." 

And hence, he was selected as because of his quick-wittedness. ....... 

This is What Interviewer expects from the Interviewee. ... 

 

 

"THINK OUT OF BOX"

Law of the Garbage Truck

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. 

We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. 

My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. 

My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly. 

So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!' 

This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck.' 
He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. 

As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally. 

Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets. 

The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. 

Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, 

So ... Love the people who treat you right. 

Pray for the ones who don't. 

Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it! 

Have a blessed, garbage-free day!

SMILE

Have a great Day !!

“Never lie to your close one, Truth may hurt for awhile

but lie will spoil the essence of closeness for the lifetime.”

SMILE

It seems that nothing has more power to elevate a mood than the impact of a genuine smile. The benefits of a smile extend not only to the recipient of the warm gesture but also to the smile's originator.  "A smile is a little curve that sets a lot of things straight." Here are some of the many .....

 

Benefits of Smiling!

 

1. Smiling Makes Us Attractive- People are spending millions on cosmetic products and procedures to make them look better.If you want to look better, try adding a genuine smile. Its cheaper and mush more attractive.The muscles we use to smile lift the face, making a person appear younger. Don't go for a face lift, just try smiling your way through the day -- you'll look younger and feel better.

2. Smiling Changes Our Mood-Next time you are feeling down, try putting on a smile. There's a good chance you mood will change for the better. Smiling can trick the body into helping you change your mood.

3. Smiling Is Contagious-When someone is smiling they lighten up the room, change the moods of others, and make things happier. A smiling person brings happiness with them.

4. Smiling Relieves Stress-Stress can really show up in our faces. Smiling helps to prevent us from looking tired, worn down, and overwhelmed. When you are stressed, take time to put on a smile. The stress should be reduced and you'll be better able to take action.Smiling helps to promote release of a "feel good" group of hormones called endorphins. These are the same group of hormones responsible for the runners high you hear so much about. If you don't have time to get to the gym for a hard run, try adding a smile  to boost these natural, stress relieving hormones.

5. Smiling Boosts Your Immune System-Smiling helps the immune system to work better. When you smile, immune function improves possibly because you are more relaxed. Prevent the flu and colds by smiling.

6. Smiling Lowers Your Blood Pressure-When you smile, there is a measurable reduction in your blood pressure. Give it a try if you have ablood pressure monitor at home. Sit for a few minutes, take a reading. Then smile for a minute and take another reading while still smiling. Do younotice a difference?

7. Smiling is medication-Studies have shown that smiling releases endorphins, natural pain killers, and serotonin. Together these three make us feel good. Smiling is a natural drug and leads to a healthier immune system.Various studies conducted over the years have shown that smiling can boost the functioning of the immune system. This may help to reduce your risk of developing everything from the common cold to chronic diseases such as
cancer. Could there be a less expensive medicine than this?

8. A smile inspires others-When you smile you also send a positive message that can potentially change someone else's mood for the better. The person you graced with your smile may go on to pass the kindness to someone else. Who knows how far your original smile will travel?

9. Smiling promotes Success -Smiling people appear more confident, are more likely to be promoted, and more likely to be approached. Put on a smile at meetings and appointments and people will react to you differently.When you smile, you appear confident and capable. Given the choice between two equally qualified job candidates, the smiling candidate is going to be perceived as being more of a team player and easier to work with. Who do you think is more likely to get the job offer?

10. Smiling Helps You Stay Positive-Try this test: Smile. Now try to think of something negative without losing the smile. It's hard. When we smile our body is sending the rest of us a message that "Life is Good!" Stay away from depression, stress and worry by smiling.

Smile..!!!...It does not cost a cent and can make a persons day! 

"It takes seventeen muscles to smile and forty-three to frown".
