George Carlin (Age 102) has this to say about LOVE and LIFE:
- Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
- The only person who is with us our entire life is oneself. Love thyself the most.
- Surround yourself with people you love.
- Keep only cheerful friends.
- Laugh often, long and loudly.
- Enjoy simple things.
Assume you are being monitored all the time and behave accordingly, be it chat, social media, Email or any move on internet.
This will make you disciplined, in the virtual life. I know this is equally true for anything in life!
When we live together with our partner, friend or relative, we get used to the company so much so that we don't realize the presence. Let us say we get conditioned and habituated enough to recognize one's presence. Let me say start ignoring one. It is at the time of separation that we understand the loss or say importance... Small separation in physical form teaches us the lesson.

| Unique |
The mother NATURE demands nothing. It is not in hurry .It does not want to prove anything, but wants to remain as original and as oneself as possible. You are an individual having personalized unique properties comparable to none. Then why try to compare oneself with any and prove superior or inferior. You are You - unique, great, different. Just remain so.
I am addressed as
UNCLE for last 3 to 4 years. Not because, I have suddenly grown old, but because, westernization and English has attacked us. We have stopped someone telling KAKA, MAMA, MASA or FUVA which are self-explanatory words. Instead we have gone for UNCLE. I am not unhappy about this, because there is some address instead of none. I am actually getting used to with this. And I have started liking it.
If a husband competes with his wife, it is quite possible, he’d win. But if a father competes a mother in reference to love, emotions, feelings of her to her offsprings, it is impossible to win.
Element of uncertainty is LUCK.
Whenever you do some activity, you wait for result: THE OUTCOME
The tragic part of the story is circumstances, time, environmental and human factors also play important role in deciding the end-point. So your proper planing, hard work and intelligent efforts are not the only factors to talk about.
About relationship with your parents and parents-in-law:
- Never think of in-laws as your opponents or enemies.
- They have some limitations of nature, similarly you too have. Simply accept.
- Bringing your parents in problem with in-laws does not solve it, but complicate it most of the times. Think it over,... ultimately it is your life.
When you start receiving the following...
- No new messages or emails
- No mobile calls to disturb you round the day
- Phones and letters are left only for death news
...don't bother much about them. Start understanding the limit of relationships and be on-guard, instead of disturbing concerned the persons.

Use of computer is unavoidable in day to day life of an individual dealing with IT industry and such other professions. It is not a safe thing to go using computer carelessly. Then What? The answer to such questions follows. Our science tells following 10 rules to be taken care of.
This is a platform to express yourself uninhibited. The readers are friends chosen by you. Why not tell your views, have a mental catharsis and relax? Friends are one who are eager to read your story, share it and be with you.
To hate someone is easy. To abuse someone is even easier. To insult someone is the easiest. How to manage it? I am not talking about power of mind, personality development, positive thinking, yoga or many other such things. It can be read or heard elsewhere. I am describing my present thought-cycle.
Why not love? Why not ignore? Or why not accept the individual in one's original form? If reacting is inevitable, be brief.
When I see someone, my senses form one opinion and accordingly, I start reacting.I start loving and respecting the said fellow without reasons or its opposite. The friend-circle gets formed this way. That is the reason why some of your contacts who are most of the time with you, are never your friends.

What is a cornea and how do cornea transplants restore sight?
The cornea is a clear dime-sized tissue that covers the front of the eye. If the cornea becomes clouded through disease or injury, vision is impaired and sometimes lost entirely.
The only substitute for a human cornea is another human cornea donated at death by someone who thus leaves a living legacy.
Who can donate eyes?
Almost everyone can donate his or her eyes. Donor tissue that can’t be used for transplant can, with consent, be used for medical education and research purposes.
How can I donate my eyes?
There are two very important steps you must take to become a donor. First, sign a donor card and carry it with you. Second, TALK TO YOUR FAMILY. You must let your family members know that you wish to be an eye donor. Unless your donor card is available at the time of death, your next of kin will be responsible for granting consent. It can be a difficult decision for them if your wishes are not known. Having a discussion about donation with your family is the first step in the effort to restore sight and save lives.
Is there a cost to donate?
There is no cost to donate. Transplant agencies pay any costs associated with the recovery of organs and tissues from donors.
Would donating delay funeral arrangements?
Donating should not delay funeral arrangements. It may take additional time, usually no more than four hours, to coordinate the donation process with the funeral home, and for any extra efforts taken to prepare the body for presentation.
Can we have an open casket?
Eye donation should not prevent having an open casket service.
Does my religion support eye, organ, and tissue donation?
All major religions support donations. However, if you have concerns about your religion’s position, please get in touch with your religious leader/representative.
Is cancer a rule-out for donation?
No, cancer does not automatically prohibit eye donation.
If I wear glasses can I still donate?
Yes, you can! People who have poor vision and wear glasses, or have had previous eye diseases or surgery can still donate, since these conditions may not affect the cornea. Eyes donated to The Eye Bank that are not medically suitable for transplant may be used for medical research and education. For example if you have had LASIK surgery you can donate for research and medical education purposes.
Are families told who will receive the donation?
It is Eye-Bank policy to keep donor and recipient identities completely confidential. However, certain information can be shared and The Eye-Bank offers to conduct correspondence between donor families and recipients as long as identities are kept anonymous. Recipients especially are encouraged to send thank-you notes to their donor families through The Eye Bank. Click here to learn how to write your donor family.
Can the family designate a recipient?
It is possible to designate a recipient although it is fairly unlikely that a donation would occur in a timely manner to facilitate a needed transplant. However, if at the time of death, a family member is in need of a cornea transplant then The Eye Bank will make every effort to match the donor tissue with that person.
What kind of research is done with eye donations?
Research into diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma, and diseases of the retina is advanced through eye donation. Read more about our research efforts in our Research section.
How long do recipients usually wait for a cornea?
Cornea transplant surgery is typically an elective procedure allowing the surgeon and patient to choose the most convenient day for the surgery to take place. The need for emergency tissue is met within 24 hours.
How long can a cornea be stored?
The Eye Bank does keep a “bank” of tissue in its laboratory. Fortunately, cornea tissue can be preserved and stored for several days before it must be used for transplant. However, since the demand for ocular tissue is so great most donor tissue is distributed within a day or two after its arrival.
What happens to unused tissue?
Tissue not used for transplantation or research is disposed of in an ethical manner.
