Aries  Birth stone Diamond You like... Sincere people, freedom, being busy, laughing at silly jokes and scary movies (sometimes). You dislike... Gossip, moody mates, being taken for granted and you absolutely hate lies. You're best at... Leading the pack as a leader, pushing yourself to the limit and making difficult decisions Deep down... U are just a sensitive softie with a lust for life 'n' love. U dream of having a gang of mates, a happy home environment 'n' wild holiday adventures. Your career... Choose a job in publishing, entertaining or climb to the top as a company boss - anything where you're in charge of exciting and interesting projects. Fashion Tight-fitting clothes in bright colours (red especially) look great on you - as do sporty-looking clothes or anything fashionably stripey. Fluffy, girlie clobber isn't your style at all. As a mate... A friendly and focused type, u want everyone to be happy. U can't stand dishonesty or people who talk behind ur back and won't be shy to mouth off at 'em if they do. As a girlfriend... U take the lead in a relationship, teasing ur boy wiv passionate kisses 'n' behind-the-scenes butt squeezes. If he's worth his salt 'n' wants to keep u, he'll return th! e favour with hot dates and plenty of pressies. If your boyf's an Aries... He lurves being in charge, so let 'im off once in a while 'n' pretend he is. Tell him how clever, capable 'n' cute he is 'n' he'll be eating out of ur hand. Mind the temper though - he's far from bootylicious when he's blowing his top. Play it cool till he's calm and then wait for him to say sorry. He must've been the one who was wrong, right?

A lovable, loyal sort, your close friends can always count on u when the going gets tough. Stubborn beyond belief, u find it difficult to say sorry, but you'll make an effort to patch things up. And u don't forget birthdays. As a girlfriend... You need romance like a fish needs water. Good food, bear hugs 'n' mountains of flowers make you mushy.

These types have great style and appreciate u going to all that trouble. Don't rush ur crush either - he likes to! take his time when kissing, eating or chatting.

Your career... Bend ur mind a! round a career in computer technology, theatre directing or feed ur adrenalin by becoming a circus performer. Fashion With fashion, as with everything else, you're a creature of extremes. One day, you'll pull out all the stops and really go to town on your appearance, the next you'll deliberately dress down. Yellow's your top colour but actually, you look good in any bright shade. You're a complete sucker for shoes, especially non-sensible ones, but being such a fast walker, you'd probably do your feet a favour by sometimes opting for less crazy styles. As a mate...

Always game to try out new things, u really are the life of the party and mates think u are just fab. As a girlfriend... U get bored easily, so ur boyf's got to be a fun sort who enjoys surprising u.

If your boyf's a Gemini.. Learn to think on ur feet. He likes to play word games with u so best u engage that brain at all times.

                  ONE BEDROOM FLAT...

WRITTEN BY AN INDIAN ENGINEER..

A Bitter Reality

As the dream of most parents I had acquired a degree in
Engineering and joined a company based in USA, the
land of braves and opportunity. When I arrived in the USA, it
was as if a dream had come true.


Here at last I was in the place where I want to be. I decided I
would be staying in this country for about Five years in which
time I would have earned enough money to settle down in India.

My father was a government employee and after his retirement,
the only asset he could acquire was a decent one bedroom flat.


I wanted to do some thing more than him. I started feeling
homesick and lonely as the time passed. I used to call home and
speak to my parents every week using cheap international phone
cards. Two years passed, two years of Burgers at McDonald's and
pizzas and discos and 2 years watching the foreign exchange
rate getting happy whenever the Rupee value went down.

Finally I decided to get married.. Told my parents that I have
only 10 days of holidays and everything must be done within
these 10 days. I got my ticket booked in the cheapest flight.
Was jubilant and was actually enjoying hopping for gifts for
all my friends back home. If I miss anyone then there will be
talks.. After reaching home I spent home one week going through
all the photographs of girls and as the time was getting
shorter I was forced to select one candidate.


In-laws told me, to my surprise, that I would have to get
married in 2-3 days, as I will not get anymore holidays. After
the marriage, it was time to return to USA, after giving some
money to my parents and telling the neighbors to look after
them, we returned to USA.


My wife enjoyed this country for about two months and then she
started feeling lonely. The frequency of calling India
increased to twice in a week sometimes 3 times a week. Our
savings started diminishing.

After two more years we started to
have kids. Two lovely kids, a boy and a girl, were gifted to us
by the almighty. Every time I spoke to my parents, they asked
me to come to India so that they can see their grand-children.


Every year I decide to go to India… But part work part
monetary conditions prevented it. Years went by and visiting
India was a distant dream. Then suddenly one day I got a
message that my parents were seriously sick.. I tried but I
couldn't get any holidays and thus could not go to India ... The
next message I got was my parents had passed away and as there
was no one to do the last rights the society members had done
whatever they could. I was depressed. My parents had passed
away without seeing their grand children.


After couple more years passed away, much to my children's
dislike and my wife's joy we returned to India to settle down.
I started to look for a suitable property, but to my dismay my
savings were short and the property prices had gone up during
all these years. I had to return to the USA...


My wife refused to come back with me and my children refused to
stay in India... My 2 children and I returned to USA after
promising my wife I would be back for good after two years.

Time passed by, my daughter decided to get married to an
American and my son was happy living in USA... I decided that
had enough and wound-up every thing and returned to India... I
had just enough money to buy a decent 02 bedroom flat in a
well-developed locality.


Now I am 60 years old and the only time I go out of the flat is
for the routine visit to the nearby temple. My faithful wife
has also left me and gone to the holy abode.

Sometimes

I wondered was it worth all this?

My father, even after staying in India,

Had a house to his name and I too have
the same nothing more.

I lost my parents and children for just ONE EXTRA BEDROOM.

Looking out from the window I see a lot of children dancing.
This damned cable TV has spoiled our new generation and these
children are losing their values and culture because of it. I
get occasional cards from my children asking I am alright. Well
at least they remember me.


Now perhaps after I die it will be the neighbors again who will
be performing my last rights, God Bless them.

But the question
still
remains 'was all this worth it?'

I am still searching for an answer.................!!!

START THINKING

IS IT JUST FOR ONE EXTRA BEDROOM???

LIFE IS BEYOND THIS …..DON'T JUST LEAVE YOUR LIFE ……..
START LIVING IT …….
LIVE IT AS YOU WANT IT TO BE ……
