Saina Nehwal, made her way into quarterfinals of the women's singles badminton event after defeating Chen Wang of Hong Kong, at the Olympics. Nehwal, who is ranked 15, defeated Wang 21-19 11-21 21-11 in a difficult pre-quarterfinal contest at the gymnasium of Beijing University of Technology. After first two trouble-free encounters, Saina had to play the best to beat the World No. 5 Wang.

Both the shuttlers were equal in the first game till 19 points when Saina boosted herself to conclude the game with two successive points. Nevertheless, Wang tried to take advantage of the Saina’s drifted concentration in the second game and level the scores. But Saina came back with rejuvenated spirit in the decider and raced on to 6-0 lead. She was also assisted by numerous errors of Wang in the decider. With her perfect drop shots, Saina reserved her last eighth place and got entry in the quarterfinals.

There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away. The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall. When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son said no it was covered with green buds and full of promise. The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment. The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but only one season in the tree's life. He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up. If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall.


Moral:Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest. Don’t judge life by one difficult season. Persevere through the difficult patches and better times are sure to come some time or later

Trekking to PETH FORT, Karjat on sunday 22 jun 2008 with BARC staff club.

This was to be my first trek to the fort of Peth. Also known as Kothaligad, this is a small fort about 25 kms from Karjat station.This place lies in the Sahayadri mountains.

The fort was a watch post for soldiers guarding the Bhor Ghat, which was an important trade route between Pune and Kalyan. Once you reach the top, you can have a great view of Karjat and Bhimashanker. In the monsoon, this is a wonderful trek and, especially during the weekends, you will find people coming in big groups for this trek.The best view for me was when I reached a pleateau.The fresh air and absence of traffic made me feel great. Peth (Kotilgad) – 1550 ft is a small fort with a large cave at its base. It is detached from the main range. It has an interesting fortification at the top in the shape of a funnel with rocky staircase carved in the middle. This funnel is known as Kotligad. The lower plateau is connected with Wandre Khind on the ghats in the east.

We reached Karjat station at around (9:00 a.m.). we alighted at the base village of Ambivali. Here we had our breakfast – the customary "Vada-Pav" and "Tea".There were many first timers but all seemed very enthusiastic about the trek. We started the trek at around 10:30 am or so. The trek starts with the tar road right near the shop which is also the bus stop. You take a left from the tar road and you follow a road laid with stones. Within an hour we reached the plateau which is normally the first proper rest for the trek to Peth.You can see the top of peth to the side. But here the top we covered with clouds. From the plateau you start walking and very soon reach the Peth village. The Peth village is exactly as the base of the fort and you can see the walls of the fort. You go right across the village and here starts the second part of the trek. From a point there is a bifurcation. The easier route is from the left which goes around the fort with the fort staying to your right. There is a set of steps which will take you to the top. If you take the right side route, its much steeper but will get you faster to the top. Once at the top, there is a small plateau, which when we reached was covered in fog. Here there is a small water tank.Then ahead is a huge cave – clean and very good for a stay. Right from inside the cave is the set of conical steps. This is the unique and amazing part of the fort. For someone who has no idea of this fort, he would sit wondering how to get to the top of the fort. Like most of the forts that I have seen even this fort had steps each about more than a foot high. Every time I wonder were the Marathas so tall or did horses climb these steps. Anyways the view at the top was worth the climb. There is a huge tank at the top and pipes are drawing water to the Peth village from this tank. It’s a small fort and was normally used for storage of ammunition etc. To the north you can easily make out the most easily distinguishable feature of Padar killa. Right behind Padar Killa is the Bhimashankar range. If you are lucky you can get a view of Nagphani the highest point of Bhimashankar. Now everybody had enough of the peaks around and it only contributed to making them more hungry. Everybody came out with their tiffins and Lunch done. we decided to turn back after spending some time at the lower part of the fort. There is a path which takes you all around the fort. We started back at around 4:00 pm. Once we reached the Peth village and the plateau, people knew there were half way through and walked at a relaxed pace. We reached Ambivali by around 5:30 pm. After that we had a quick session of "Tea" and "Bhel". So we took the Bus back to Karjat and way back to our houses. I reached home by 10:30 pm. Even my parents seemed happy to seem me home early.

ANGER N LOVE HAS NO LIMIT............

While Dad was polishing his new car,
his 4 yr old son picked stone & scratched lines on the side
of the car.
In his anger, Dad took the child's hand & hit it many times, not
realizing he was using a wrench.
At the hospital, his child said "Dad when will my fingers grow
back?"
Dad was so hurt.
He went back to car and kicked it a lot of times.
Sitting back he looked at the scratches, child wrote "I LOVE YOU
DAD"
*Anger and Love have no limits...

Why Planning is important?

One Night 4 college students were playing till late night and could not study for the test which was scheduled for the next day.

In the morning they thought of a plan. They made themselves look as dirty with grease and dirt. They then went up to the Dean and said that they had gone out to a wedding last night and on their return the tire of their car burst and they had to push the car all the way back and that they were in no condition to appear for the test.

So the Dean said they could have the re-test after 3 days. They thanked him and said they would be ready by that time.

On the third day they appeared before the Dean. The Dean said that as this was a Special Condition Test, all four were required to sit in separate classrooms for the test. They all agreed as they had prepared well in the last 3 days.

The Test consisted of 2 questions with a total of 100 Marks.

Q.1. Your Name......................... (2 MARKS)

Q.2. which tire burst? (98 MARKS)

a) Front Left
b) Front Right
c) Back Left
d) Back Right.....!!!


True story from IIT Bombay...Batch 1992

A story tells that two friends were walking

through the desert During some point of the

Journey they had an Argument, and one friend

Slapped the other one In the face.

The one who got slapped was hurt, but without

saying anything, wrote in the sand:

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.

They kept on walking until they found an oasis,

where they decided to take a bath.

The one who had been slapped got stuck in the

mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him.

After he recovered from the near drowning,

he wrote on a stone:

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE.

The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend

asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now,

you write on a stone, why?" The other friend replied

"When someone hurts us we should write it down

in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away.

But, when someone does something good for us,

we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.."

LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN

THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR

BENEFITS IN STONE!!!
