Funny Flight Announcement

Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen....

This is ur captain PATEL welcoming both seated & standing passengers on board of Air Deccan.

We apologize 4 d 4-day delay in taking off,it was due to bad weather and partly due to the search 4 a missing tyre.

This is flight 717 to Mumbai. Landing there is not guaranteed, but we will end up somewhere in India . And, if luck is in our favor, we may even be landing on your village!

Air Deccan has an excellent safety-record. In fact, our safety standards are so high, that even terrorists are afraid to fly with us!
It is with pleasure; I announce that, starting this year, over 30% of our Passengers have reached their destination.

If our engines are too noisy for u, on passenger request, we can arrange to turn them off. To make your free fall to earth pleasant and memorable, we serve Complimentary Daru and Vada Pav. For our not-so-religious passengers, we are the only airline who can help you find out if there really is a God!

We regret to inform you, that today's in-flight movie will not be shown as we forgot to record it from the television.

However, for our movie buffs, we will be flying right next to Kingfisher Airline, where their movie will be visible from the right side of the cabin window.

There is no smoking allowed in this airplane. Any smoke you see in the Cabin is only the early warning system on the engines telling us to slow down!

In order to catch important landmarks, we try to fly as close as possible. 4 d best view , if however, we go a little too close, do let us
know. Our enthusiastic co-pilot sometimes flies right through the landmark!

Kindly b seated, keep ur seat in an upright position 4 take-off & fasten ur seat-belt. 4 those of u who can't find a seat-belt,
kindly Fasten ur own belt 2 d arm of ur seat. And, for those who can't find a seat, do not hesitate to get in touch with a stewardess who will explain how to fasten urself 2 ur suitcase.

மழலை காலங்கள்

சிறகு முளைத்த
வண்ணத்துப் பூச்சியாய்..........
துயரங்களே இல்லாமல்
துள்ளிய காலங்கள்.........

கள்ளங்களே இல்லாமல்
உள்ளம் எங்கும் உவகையாய்
உலகை வலம் வர
நினைத்த காலங்கள்..........

வெறுமைகளே இல்லாமல்
வெள்ளை மனமாய், வெகுளியாய்
மிதகுகள் சில செய்து
நிலவில் மிதக்க நினைத்த காலங்கள்........

காகிதத்தில் கப்பல் செய்து
ஓடையிலே விட்டு விட்டு
கர்வமாய் இறுமாந்த
காலங்கள்...........

சுமைகளே இல்லாமல்
சுகமாய் சுதந்திரமாய்
சிரிப்புக்கள் சில
சிதறிய காலங்கள்...........

மழலை காலங்கள்
மழை சாரலாய்
மனதின் ஒருபுறம்......
இனிமையாய் தூறியபடி
எப்பொழுதும்..........

Layoff tricks

Pl take care while evacuating during Fire alarm XYZ Office -> A fire alarm rang at 4 PM when almost all shift employees are in office (approx 5000). As usual entire office was evacuated within 3 mins & every employee gathered outside office. 10 mins passed..................................5 more mins passed. Security Officer started Announcement: "Dear Employees - With melting heart I am making this announcement that for many of you it will be a last evacuation drill. Due to the recession we are laying off almost 50% of employees. While moving in if your ID card does not work, then you are among those laid off & all your belongings will be couriered to you tomorrow. We followed this approach as we didn't want to fill email box size with layoff mails and good bye mails in thousands & also to avoid any fight inside office. Hope you have nice career ahead. Please move in & try your luck

Nice Article about Love by Swami Vivekananda

I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me. Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand with some water and held it before me, and said this: "You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love." This was how I saw it: As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first cracks it finds. This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love...they try to posses it, they demand, they expect... And just like the water spilling out of your hand, love will retrieve from you . For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature. If there are people you love, allow them to be free beings. Give and don't expect.Advise, but don't order.Ask, but never demand. It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice. It is the secret to true love. To truly practice it, you must sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an unconditional caring." Passing thought... Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take; but by the moments that take our breath away..... Life is beautiful!!! LOVE IT EVERY MOMENT !!!
