Banking
On luck
Waiting for hours is not only difficult but also tiresome.Recently ,i had to encash a cheque at a leading multinatonal bank.
Since I was not aware of the Ramadan timings,Ireached the bank at 8-30am,thinking that during Ramadan they may open ,at that time.
I saw a board stating that the openingtime was 9.am.Idecided to meet a friend and return.When i arrived back ,Iwas shocked to seethat more then 60,people had collected tokens.
Ithought Imay have to wait for two hours.
While Iwas wondering what to do, a person approched me and said,I got some urgentwork.You can use this token.'
The number was instantly displayed on the board.Imanaged to collect my cheque amount.
Time is precious.I counted myself lucky that the gentle man came to my rescue.

Jokes.

It is always important to ask the right question.
The little boy was sitting on the steps when a salesman came down the street. “Is your mother home, son?”
“Yes, sir, she is.” The salesman went up to the door and rang the doorbell several times with no response. Then he banged on the door, and still no one came. Finally, he turned to the boy: “I thought you told me your mother was at home, boy?”
“She is at home, but I live in the next street.”

The joy

of sharing

Recently, I met a friend at his office.

As soon as he saw me, he said he was about to call me to share his happiness.

"What's the matter?"

"My son is leaving for the US for higher studies."

"When?" I asked.

"On Saturday early morning flight," he replied.

I was pleased. Incidentally, that day happens to be India's memorable day - the Independence Day.

I congratulated him on his son's bon voyage on such an auspicious day.

Last year I had seen the boy's medals in music competitions and had written a short take about his achievements. That time, I had wished my friend that his son scores well in academics. Now, the blessing has come true.

Burman if a remember correct.That was the first out side Navketan Banner Vijay Directed for T.V.Films Nasir Hussain.The Film was a Big hit in those days with Shammy kapoor’s Dance and Song still I remember..Vyjayanthimala,Mumtaz.Late Premnath and Pran acted in his Movies.He has also served in Central Board of Film Certification for a Short Period.Affectanately called Goldie from Film Fraternity ,Charming,Soft Spoken Vijay Anand is no more with us.But His Movies and Mesmarising Songs still ringing in Bolly Wood Fans Ears is True.

Surgery figures food for thought
Doctors quoted in The National’s story, Gastric surgery numbers balloon (August 1), called for regulations on the use of gastric operations. That the UAE is considering implementing such guidelines is welcome.

I found the story thought provoking. Obesity is a growing global problem, but a particularly serious one in the UAE – the fact that the rate is higher among women than men is alarming.

The one good sign behind the growing numbers of people seeking this surgery is that more people are becoming aware of the dangers of obesity. To stem the growing appeal of the procedure, perhaps the government should consider a valued-added tax to discourage overuse of the operation.
