Want to know if there's a beautiful woman in your future? Or if a big promotion is on its way?. Today I got a mail from one of my friend regarding how to read your horoscope through your palms. Here is how it goes !

The lines in your palm do not predict or determine your destiny, but rather your distinguishing characteristics and personal health. Start with your own hand and you'll become a palm-reading master in no time. Each hand represents different aspects: Right hand: practical, "doing" side Left hand: emotional or "heart" side

'heart' line: What happens in your love life and why. Right hand -- How you relate to others, your needs and experiences in love, and your passion for living. Left hand -- How you feel about yourself and your relationships; feelings occurring underneath your surface.

Line Characteristic Meaning Becomes a steep curve below the index and middle finger Strong sexual desire Ends under index finger Picky when it comes to partners Ends under middle finger (rare) Need for love Straight and short No need for romance, rather strong sex drive 2 or more branches out of heart line Corresponding number of different sides to emotional nature Heart line with branch pointing downwards and touching life line Easily hurt in love Married couples with similar heart lines Successful marriage

'head' line: How you think, not a measure of intelligence. Right hand -- What you physically do in life, including career, business and hidden talents. Left hand -- The way you think, how you see the world and how you communicate

Line Characteristic Meaning Ends under proximity of ring finger Average head line Short Simple, direct thinking Long Thorough, careful thinking Straight Clear, concentrated thinking Curved Readiness to play with new ideas Sloping Creativity Horizontal Practical thinking Chained High-strung attitude Fork in head line Open-minded, ability to see several points of view Floating head line Carefree attitude Starts under index finger Brilliance

'life' line: It reveals how you will live, in terms of quality of life. Right hand -- Vitality and physical strength; timing of events and significant practical happenings in your life; how adventurous you are in life. Left hand -- Vitality and emotional strength; timing of events and significant emotional happenings in your life; how adventurous you are in relationships.

Line Characteristic Meaning Runs close to the thumb Low vitality (usually a tired person) Wide curve High vitality and energy level Stronger than head line More physically active than mentally active Chained Delicate health Little rising lines Active personality Outward swinging lines Love for travel Small line on life line Refer to particular events at points in your life

In the chase between Cat & Mouse, the mouse mostly wins coz the cat is running for its food & mouse for its life.

Purpose is more important than Need!

Its very often that my PC becomes slower in performance because of the heavy usage of it with the Internet. But every time when I got stuck up  with the situations like this I was suppose to use Disk Cleanup utility that comes by default with the OS.

This default Disk Cleanup utility does everything like deleting old Microsoft temp files, logs, memory dumps and other OS related junk files and even free up lots of space on the system but often leaves a lot of junk behind. CCleaner is the great program that I use all the time on my computer. Apart from the functions done by the default Disk Cleanup utility, CCleaner also  removes junk files from other popular applications. Also it has the ability to solve various registry issues and a superb functionality to uninstall application in an easy way. Visit CCleaner.com to download a free copy.

eSnips ! as you know is a kind a social networking where people can share and download almost any kind of songs. But now eSnips has blocked the users from downloading the songs (even for the registered users).

But my colleague and a good friend Shan found out an easy way (can say Hack) to do it by making a small kind of change in the URL of the song that you would like to download.

Here is the way to do it... | Go to esnips, browse for the songs and select a song that you would like to download | Go to the URL of the song and just add 'ns' after 'http://www.esnips.com/' e.g initial URL: http://www.esnips.com/doc/c0859acc-82ef-40b0-a095-a8d8f5782c44/Minchagi-Neenu final URL (for download): http://www.esnips.com/nsdoc/c0859acc-82ef-40b0-a095-a8d8f5782c44/Minchagi-Neenu Click on Enter, you are done.. Really Cool na !

“I'm dying of thirst!"  We just might. It sounds so simple. H20. Two parts hydrogen, one part oxygen. But this element, better known as water, is the most essential, next to air, to our survival.

Water is important to the mechanics of the human body. The body cannot work without it, just as a car cannot run without gas and oil. So some information about the value of H2O in our daily routine to get a better health.

Some Info: Water makes up more than two thirds of the weight of the human body Human brain is made up of 95% water, blood is 82% and lungs 90% Water serves as a lubricant Water forms the base for saliva Water forms the fluids that surround the joints. Water regulates the body temperature, as the cooling and heating is distributed through perspiration. Water helps to alleviate constipation by moving food through the intestinal tract and thereby eliminating waste- the best detox agent. Regulates metabolism

ನಾನು ನಿಮೊ೦ದಿಗೆ share ಮಾಡ್ಕೊಬೇಕಾದ ವಿಷಯ ತು೦ಬಾ ಇದೆ, ಅದರಲ್ಲಿ ನಿಮಗೆ ಏಸ್ಟು ಇಸ್ಟ ಆಗುವುದೋ ಗೋತಿಲ್ಲ. But I will keep on writing.... ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯವಾಗಿ ಏಲ್ಲರೂ ಸಾ೦ಸಾರಿಕ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಗಳಿ೦ದ ಮಾನಸಿಕವಾಗಿ ಕೊರಗುವುದು ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯ. ಚಿ೦ತೆ ಇಲ್ಲದ ಮನುಷ್ಯ ಈ ಪ್ರಪ೦ಚದಲ್ಲಿ ಯಾರೂ ಇಲ್ಲ. ಅದರೆ ಯಾವ ಚಿ೦ತೆಯೂ ಇಲ್ಲದೇ ನಿಶ್ಚಿ೦ತನಾಗಿರುವುದಾದರೂ ಹೇಗೇ ? ಬನ್ನಿ ವಿವೇಚಿಸಿ ನೋಡೊಣ...

ಈ ಭೂಮಿಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಯಾವುದೋ ಓ೦ದು ದೇಶದಲ್ಲಿ ನಾನು ಹುಟ್ಟಿದ್ದೆನೆ. ನನ್ನ ಅಪೇಕ್ಷೆಯ೦ತೆ ಹುಟ್ಟುವ ಸ್ವಾತ೦ತ್ರ್ಯವಾಗಲಿ, ಶಕ್ತಿಯಾಗಲಿ ನನಗಿಲ್ಲ. ಹುಟ್ಟಿದ ಕುಟು೦ಬ, ತ೦ದೆ, ತಾಯಿ, ಬ೦ದು ಭಾ೦ದವರು ಯಾರನ್ನು ಬದಲಾಯಿಸುವ ಶಕ್ತಿಯೂ ನನಗಿಲ್ಲ. It doesn't mean that I don't have a milestone to reach... ಅದಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಏಸ್ಟು ಚಿ೦ತಿಸಿದರೂ ಏನೂ ಫಲವಿಲ್ಲ ಅ೦ತ think ಮಾಡಿ ಆ ಚಿ೦ತೆಯನ್ನು ಬಿಡಬೇಕು.

'The Road to Success is always under Construction' ಅ೦ತ ನಿಮ್ಗೆ ಗೊತ್ತಿರಲೂಬಹುದು. ಆಯಸ್ಸಿಗೇ ಸುಖ ದುಃಖಗಳಿಗೆ, ಲಾಭ ನಸ್ಟಗಳಿಗೆ ಒ೦ದು ಮಿತಿ ಇದ್ದೇ ಇದೆ. ಒ೦ದು ದಿನ ಇದು ನಾಶವಾಗುವುದು ಖ೦ಡಿತ. ಚಿ೦ತಿಸುವುದರಿ೦ದ ಇದನ್ನು ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಲು ಸಾದ್ಯವೇ ಇಲ್ಲ ಅ೦ದುಕೊ೦ಡು ಚಿ೦ತೆಯನ್ನು ಬಿಡಬೇಕು. ಬಾಲ್ಯ, ಆಟಪಾಟಗಲಲ್ಲಿ, ಸುಖಭೋಗಳಲ್ಲಿ, ವ್ರಧ್ಯಾಪ್ಯ, ಪಸ್ಚಾತ್ತಾಪದಲ್ಲಿ ತನ್ನಸ್ಟಕ್ಕೇ ಕಳೆದು ಹೊಗುತದೆ. ಇದನ್ನು ತಡೆದು ನಿಲ್ಲಿಸಲು ಸಾದ್ಯವೇ ಇಲ್ಲ, ಇದು ನಿರ೦ತರ ಏ೦ದು ತಿಳಿದು ಅದರ ಚಿ೦ತೆಯನ್ನೂ ಕೂಡಾ ಮಾಡಬಾರದು. ಒ೦ದರ ಹಿ೦ದೆ ಮತ್ತೊ೦ದರ೦ತೆ ದಿನಗಳು ಕಳೆಯುತ್ತಲೇ ಇರುತ್ತವೆ. ಕಾಲ ಸವೆಯುವ ಅರಿವು ನಮಗಿರುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ನಮ್ಮ ಸುತ್ತಲೂ ರೊಗ ರುಜಿನಗಳು, ಹುಟ್ಟು ಸಾವುಗಳು, ಅಪಘಾತಗಳು ಒ೦ದರ ಮೇಲೊ೦ದರ೦ತೇ ನಡೆಯುತ್ತಲೇ ಇರುತ್ತವೆ. ಇವನ್ನೆಲ್ಲ ತಡೆಯುವ ಸಾಮರ್ಥ್ಯ ನಮಗಿದೆಯೇ ? ಇಲ್ಲವೆ೦ದಾಗ ಆ ಕುರಿತು ಚಿ೦ತೆ ನಮಗ್ಯಾಕೆ ? ಕೊನೆಗೆ ಬರುವ ಮರಣ ಹುಟ್ಟಿನಿ೦ದಲೇ ನಮ್ಮ ಜತೆಗಿರುತ್ತದೆ ಮತ್ತು ಕಾಲ ಬ೦ದಾಗ ಅದು ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಕರೆದೊಯ್ಯುತ್ತದೆ. ತಪ್ಪಿಸಲು ಸಾದ್ಯವೇ ಇಲ್ಲದ ಇದರ ಕುರಿತು ಚಿ೦ತಿಸಿ ಫಲವೇನು ?.. ಆಯಸ್ಸು, ವ್ರತ್ತಿ, ಸ೦ಪತ್ತು, ವಿದ್ಯೆ ಮತ್ತು ಮರಣ ಈ 5 ವಿಷಯಗಳು ತಾಯಿಯ ಗರ್ಭದಲ್ಲಿರುವಾಗಲೇ ನಿರ್ಣಯಿಸಲ್ಪಡುತ್ತವೆ ಏ೦ದು ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಗಳೇ ಹೇಳಿವೆ. 'ಚಿತೆಯು ಜೀವವಿಲ್ಲದ ಹೆಣವನ್ನು ಸುಡುತ್ತದೆ, ಚಿ೦ತೆ ಜೀವವಿದ್ದದ್ದನ್ನೇ ಸುದುತ್ತದೆ' ಆದುದರಿ೦ದ ಈ ಹಣದಿ೦ದ ಏಲ್ಲವೂ ಸಾದ್ಯವಿಲ್ಲ... ಹಣ is directly proportional to ಚಿ೦ತೆ ಏನ್ನುವುದು ನನ್ನ ಅನಿಸಿಕೆ. (ತಪ್ಪಿದ್ದರೆ ದಯವಿತ್ತು ಕ್ಷಮಿಸಿ, Kannada medium ನಲ್ಲಿ ಓದಿದ್ರೂ ಈ ಹಾಳಾದ ITಯಿ೦ದಾಗಿ Kannada ಅಕ್ಷರಗಳು ದಾರಿತ್ತಪ್ಪಿದ೦ತಿದೆ...) So don't tense much...just freak out...
