The Law of the Garbage Truck

One day I hopped into a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just a few inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us.

My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. He was so unperturbed. So I asked, 'Why did you do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!!'

This is when the taxi driver explained what is called,

The Law of the Garbage Truck:

He explained that a lot of people, perhaps, are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, frustration, anger, disappointment and excessive greed. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and left with no other option, sometimes they'll dump it on someone else, and that could be you as well.

When they do that just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Try not to take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, home, on the streets or elsewhere.

The bottom line here is that most of the successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life's too short to wake up with regrets in the morning. So, Love the people who treat you right & pray for the ones who don't!

Life is 10% of what you make it & 90% of how you take it!

Have a blessed, garbage-free day!

Life is a Rainbow

There is nothing more beautiful than a rainbow in nature;

but it takes both rain and sunshine in tandem to make one.

If life is to be multi-colored and as enchanting as a rainbow,

both joy and sorrow will be a part of it.

Love Conquers All

I had just reached office and logged in to blogger like i do everyday. I was casually going through my blog roll when it suddenly hit me! There was a blog which had been updated recently....and i can't tell u my reaction after reading the post. Ok now moving on from your guesses and not to keep u waiting anymore, let me tell you what has happened.....

Our very own Americanising Desi aka Seher is now committed!!

Yes, all those lovey dovey posts & all our prayers have come true. I couldn't think of a better way to congratulate her than to write a post on it, coz a mere comment would be insufficient for me to express my happiness. Congrats gurl & even though i am a bit miffed at the thought that u hid this for such a long time....i forgive you coz i know that u must have had your own reasons for doing so. And now that its official, there's definitely no turning back. My faith in god is restored, good things do happen to good people and its proven now.

Congratulations & God Bless the two of You!!

Lots of Love,

Natural Beauty Tips, Every Girl Should Know

1. Sleeping on your back will prevent many wrinkles and breakouts on your face, and even wrinkles in your cleavage area
2. Wearing clothes that are tight make you look heavier. Even a slim girl can bulge over too-tight jeans
3. Put on a coat of clear nail polish before a colored polish to keep your nails from discoloring
4. Being angry really does take away from your beauty now and will result in more wrinkles later
5. Wearing less make-up makes you look younger
6. Vitamins and minerals are needed for health and beauty, but more is not always better. Too much Vitamin A or Selenium can cause hair loss. There is nothing beautiful about losing your hair
7. If you are unhappy with a hair conditioner, it will still make a great “shaving cream” for your legs in the shower
8. When shaving, don’t stretch the skin or you could cause ingrown hairs by shaving hair off slightly under the skin
9. Drink plenty of water and get eight hours of sleep every day
10. Tighten bra straps as they stretch out, or buy a new bra when they can’t tighten any further, to keep the bosom looking young and perky
11. Instead of shaving over and over, with the hairs coming in darker and thicker each time, try waxing. Waxing to remove hair will result in softer hairs each time and result in permanent hair loss after a few sessions. Aussie Nad’s is an all-natural product which is easy to use
12. Sleeping on two or three pillows at a time, or on an Acid Reflux Sleep Wedge will help get rid of dark circles under your eyes
13. Exercise while dieting is a must or your skin will be too large (and saggy) for your smaller body. It is much, much tougher to tighten skin after your body shrinks than as you go
14. After washing your face, rinse in cold water (fair-skinned people should use cool instead of cold) to close the pores and tighten the facial muscles
15. If you are out of quick-dry spray for nails, dip your fingers into a bowl of ice-cold water. (Don’t to touch the sides of the bowl.) Your nails will dry very quickly
16. Good posture can make you look much slimmer
17. Wearing a low heel will give you better posture than wearing flat shoes
18. Renew thick nail polish by adding a few drops of fingernail polish remover to the bottle
19. Make a nail polish bottle not get stuck closed, put a thin coat of Vaseline inside the lid
20. Clean hair brushes occasionally with dish soap and borax. In a dishpan of very warm water, add 1/2 cup of borax and a few drops of liquid dish soap. Swish the brushes to stir, rinse, and let air dry. Scrub any stubborn spots with a used toothbrush
