party, he invited her to have coffee with him, she was surprised, but due to being polite, she promised. They sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything, she felt uncomfortable, she thought, please, let me go home…. suddenly he asked the waiter. "would you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee."
Everybody stared at him, so strange! His face turned red, but still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it. She asked him curiously; why you have this hobby? He replied: "when I was a little boy, I was living near the sea, I like playing in the sea, I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood, think of my hometown, I miss my hometown so much, I miss my parents who are still living there". While saying that tears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched.
That's his true feeling, from the bottom of his heart. A man who can tell out his homesickness, he must be a man who loves home, cares about home, has responsibility of home. Then she also started to speak, spoke about her far away hometown, her childhood, her family. That was a really nice talk, also a beautiful beginning of their story.
They continued to date. She found that actually he was a man who meets all her demands; he had tolerance, was kind hearted, warm, careful. He was such a good person but she almost missed him! Thanks to his salty coffee!
Then the story was just like every beautiful love story , the princess married to the prince, then they were living the happy life… And, every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee e, as she knew that's the way he liked it.
After 40 years, he passed away, left her a letter which said: "My dearest, please forgive me, forgive my whole life lie. This was the only lie I said to you—the salty coffee. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous at that time, actually I wanted some sugar, but I said salt It was hard for me to change so I just went ahead. I never thought that could be the start of our communication! I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life, but I was too afraid to do that, as I have promised not to lie to you for anything..
Now I'm dying, I afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth: I don't like the salty coffee, what a strange bad taste.. But I have had the salty coffee for my whole life! Since I knew you, I never feel sorry for anything I do for you. Having you with me is my biggest happiness for my whole life. If I can live for the second time, still want to know you
and have you for my whole life, even though I have to drink the salty coffee again".
Her tears made the letter totally wet. Someday, someone asked her: what's
the taste of salty coffee?
It's sweet. She replied.
■Love is not 2 forget but 2 forgive, not 2 c but 2 understand, not 2 hear‚ but 2 listen, not 2 let go but 2 HOLD ON !!!!
■Don't ever leave the one you love for the one you like, because the one you like will leave you for the one they love.
■Find a guy, who calls you beautiful instead of hot.
■Who calls you back when you hang up on him.
■Who will stay awake just to watch you sleep.
■Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead.
■Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats.
■Who holds your hand in front of his friends.
■Wait for the one who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you.
■Wait for the one who turns to his friends and says, "…that's her."

For those of you using Windows, do the following:
1...) Open an empty notepad file
2.) Type "Bush hid the facts" (without the quotes)
3.) Save it as whatever you want.
4.) Close it, and re-open it.
Notice the weird bug? No one can explain why this happens.

Again this is something funny and can't be explained. At Microsoft the
whole Team, including Bill Gates, couldn't answer why this happened!
It was discovered by a Brazilian. Try it out yourself.
Open Microsoft Word and type

And then press ENTER
And see the magic.
Mind your corporate Ps and Qs
With businesses now a global affair, it's important to brush up your social skills, says TOI...
It's been years but Ramesh Balasubramanian, a manager at a financial services firm, still shudders at the thought of gifting an expensive bottle of New Zealand wine to his counterpart in Dubai. "I didn't know that gifting alcohol to a person from the Middle East is considered an insult."
Today, a wiser Bala says, "We work in a global business environment and companies should realise the potential of good corporate manners. It's important to have a social skills expert to train people just the way motivational speakers prepare them emotionally." Using the right fork or keeping your elbows off the table, is that all about good corporate manners? Says trainer Pria Warrick, "Most people will assume that anyone with a degree sails through life. Statistics reveal that you require 15 per cent technical skills and 85 per cent social, business and dining etiquette to advance in your career."
Realising the importance of corporate protocol, several MNCs and homegrown companies hold workshops to train their managers or an entire team before they leave for trips to their foreign offices. "It's essential in the transition from middle management to top management," says Jitendra Jain, CFO-Treasury, GMR Group. Warrick, who works with companies like Bharti, Canon, Citibank, Indian Oil, Druk Air, Franklin Templeton Investments, and others. he adds, "Indians are technically sound but when it comes to social graces, we lag behind the rest of the world."
As a corporate team reflects the company's image, there is a need to understand the customs, practices and habits of your host country. A study says that 38 per cent of the impression you make comes from the tone, pace and nuances. For example, the acceptable handshake in the business world calls for extending the right hand. Because some cultures are offended by the use of the left hand, using the right hand ensures that you'll not offend anyone. Giving elaborate or extravagant gifts in China is a complete no-no. The Chinese may perceive it as a bribe! In China, just like in India, wrapping a gift with white paper may be considered inauspicious as the colour is associated with death.
The corporate dinner or cocktail party has been the downfall of many careers. Maitrayee B Penubolu, a former manager with American Express Global Services Centre, Gurgaon, says, "Go to a party with the goal of meeting new people. Never overindulge in food or drink. Getting tipsy is the quickest way to kill your career!" She adds, "Also, Indians are bad at shaking hands. They either grab your hand or touch the fingertips, especially if it's a woman." Etiquette for women in the boardroom is, literally, a world apart from what is acceptable for men. Brightly coloured business attire for women is accepted in Latin American countries, but in the rest of the world, neutral-colours are preferred. Says etiquette trainer Shery Scott in the book Executive Etiquette Power, "The downside of a lopsided gender representation is that women, who are more likely to excel in soft sills, are often expected to become somewhat masculine in their physical appearance, attire and mannerisms." She adds, "Businessmen may act very 'forward' if you don't observe the dressing customs that local businesswomen adhere to." Says politician Vani Tripathi, "Cleavage is an absolute no-no. Keep make-up to a bare minimum. Given a choice, most managers prefer a sari for official dos abroad." In the case of men, exhibiting soft skills is often unfairly construed as being less competent in technical skills. A handwritten note may be viewed as too personal.
Social practices can get quirky at times. In China and Japan, the hosts consider it their duty to get guests intoxicated. But a woman who can't control herself will never be respected. In Asia, it is acceptable to ask about your host's wife or children, but in the US, you never ask about someone's wife! So, next time you think you can toss someone's business card into your bag, think again. It can cost you the plush corner office!
