Corporate Lessons.. Too Interesting...Dont Skip
CORPORATE LESSON #1:
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is
finishing
up her shower when the doorbell rings. After a few
seconds of
arguing over which one should go and answer the
doorbell,
the wife gives up, quickly wraps herself up in a towel
and runs
downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob,
the next door
neighbor.
Before she says a word, Bob says, "I'll give you $800
just to
drop that towel that you have on". After thinking for
a moment,
the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of
Bob.
Bob has a close look at her for a few seconds, hands
over $800 and
quietly leaves.
Confused, but excited about her good fortune, the
woman wraps
back up in the towel and goes upstairs. When she gets
back to
the bathroom, her husband asks from the shower "Who
was that?"
"It was Bob the next door neighbor," she replies.
"Great," the husband says, "did he say anything about
the $800
he owes me?"

CORPORATE LESSON # 2
A priest was driving along and saw a nun on the side
of the road,
he stopped and offered her a lift which she gladly
accepted. She
got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to open
and reveal a lovely
leg.
The priest had a look and nearly had an accident.
After controlling
the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The
nun looked at
him and immediately said, "Father, remember psalm
129?"
The priest was flustered and apologized profusely.
He forced himself to remove his hand. However, he was
unable to
remove his eyes from her leg.
Further on, while changing gear, he let his hand slide
up her
leg again. The nun once again said, "Father, remember
psalm
129?"
Once again the priest apologized. "Sorry sister, but
the mind is weak."
Arriving at the convent, the nun got out, gave him a
meaningful
glance and went on her way. On his arrival at the
church, the
priest rushed to retrieve a bible and looked up psalm
129.
It Said,"Go forth and seek; further up, you will find
glory."

GOOD STORIES
GOOD STORIES
1st Story: A woman wanted to reach her husband on his mobile phone but discovered that she was out of credit, She instructed her son to use his own phone to pass across an urgent message to his daddy who was on site. After junior had called, he got back to mummy to inform her that there was a lady that picked up daddy's phone the three times he tried reaching dad on the mobile. (Women!!) She waited impatiently for her husband to return from work and upon seeing him in the driveway, she rushed out and gave him a tight slap, and she slapped him again, for good measure.
People from the neighborhood rushed around to find out what the cause of the commotion was. The woman asked
junior to tell everybody what the lady said to him when he called.
Junior said "The subscriber you have dialed is not available at present. Please Try Again Later !!!...........
2nd Story: A woman was having a daytime affair while her husband was at work. One wet and lusty day she was in bed with her boyfriend when, to her horror, she heard her husband's car pull into the driveway.
"Oh my God - Hurry! Grab your clothes and jump out the window. My husband's home early!" "I can't jump out the window, it's raining out there!" "If my husband catches us in here, he'll kill us both!" she replied. He's got a hot temper and a gun, so the rain is the least of yourproblems!"
So the boyfriend scoots out of bed, grabs his clothes and jumps out the window!
As he ran down the street in the pouring rain, he quickly discovered he had run right into the middle of the town's annual marathon, so he started running along beside the others, about 300 of them.
Being naked, with his clothes tucked under his arm, he tried to blend in as best he could. After a little while a small group of runners who had been watching him with some curiosity, jogged closer.
"Do you always run in the nude?" one asked. "Oh yes!" he replied, gasping in air. "It feels so wonderfully free!"
Another runner moved along side. "Do you always run carrying your clothes with you under your arm?" "Oh yes," our friend answered
breathlessly.
"That way I can get dressed right at the end of the run and get in my car to go home!"
Then a third runner cast his eyes a little lower and queried, "Do you always wear a condom when you run?" "Nope........just when it's raining

Funny incident...I read
Funny incident …I read
Read on the true incident of a lady and just keep on laughing !!!! You just can't stop laughing, I am so sure abt it. One day I met a sweet gentleman and fell in love. When it became apparent that we would marry, I made the supreme sacrifice and gave up eating beans just to keep him happy.Some months later, on my birthday , my car broke down on the way home from work. Since I lived in the countryside I called my husband and told him that I would be late because I had to walk home. On my way, I passed by a small diner and the odour of baked beans was more than I could stand. With miles to walk, I figured that I would walk off any ill effects by the time I reached home, so I stopped at the dinner and before I knew it, I had consumed three large orders of baked beans.All the way home, I made sure that I released all the gas. Upon my arrival, my husband seemed excited to see me and exclaimed delightedly: "Darling I have a surprise for dinner tonight." He then blindfolded me and led me to my chair at the dinner table. I took a seat and just as he was about to remove my blindfold, the telephone rang. He made me promise not to touch the blindfold until he returned and went to answer the call. The baked beans I had consumed were still affecting me and the pressure was becoming most unbearable, so while my husband was out of the room I seized the opportunity, shifted my weight to one leg and let one go. It was not only loud, but it smelled like a fertilizer truck running over a skunk in front of a pulpwood mill.I took my napkin from my lap and fanned the air around me vigorously. Then, shifting to the other cheek, I ripped off three more. The stink was worse than oked=20cabbage. Keeping my ears carefully tuned to the conversation in the other room, I went on like this for another few minutes. The pleasure was indescribable. When eventually the telephone farewells signalled the end of my freedom, I quickly fanned the air a few more times with my napkin, placed it on my lap and folded my hands back on it feeling very relieved and pleased with myself. My face must have been the picture of innocence when my husband returned, apologizing for taking so long. He asked me if I had peeked through the blindfold, and I assured him I had not. At this point, he removed the blindfold, and I nearly died when I saw twelve dinner guests seated around the table & they all chorused: "Happy Birthday!" to me. Regards,Honey

Konark is the site of the 13th-century Sun Temple (also known as the Black Pagoda), built in black granite by King Narasimhadeva. The temple is one of the most important Brahman sanctuaries, and is a world heritage site. It takes the form of the chariot of Surya, the sun god, and is heavily decorated with stone carving. The temple is now partly in ruins, and a collection of its sculptures is housed in the Sun Temple Museum, which is run by the Archaeological Survey of India. The poet Rabindranath Tagore wrote of Konark: "here the language of stone surpasses the language of man". Konark is also home to an annual dance festival, held every December, devoted to classical Indian dance forms, including the traditional classical dance of Orissa, odissi.
Konark beach is a popular tourist destination, though the waters are deceptively calm. Its main attraction lies in its views of the temple.
On the shores of the Bay of Bengal, bathed in the rays of the rising sun, the temple at Konarak is a monumental representation of the sun god Surya's chariot; its 24 wheels are decorated with symbolic designs and it is led by a team of six horses. Built in the 13th century, it is one of India's most famous Brahman sanctuaries.

The main temple has two "stories", although the bottom one (at the level of which this is taken) is solid. There are two "buildings" (of course, all part of the one rock), a large main one, and a smaller forebuilding with a Nandi (statue of a seated cow) inside it. We stand here at the base of the forebuilding. At the upper left corner is a raised walkway leading to the upper part of the entrance building. To the right is a free-standing plinth.
Ellora is an ancient village 30 km (18.6 miles) from the city of Aurangabad in the Indian state of Maharashtra. Famous for its monumental caves, Ellora is a World Heritage Site .
Ellora represents the epitome of Indian rock cut architecture . The 34 "caves" � actually structures excavated out of the vertical face of the Charanandri hills � comprised of Buddhist, Hindu and Jain cave temples and monasteries, were built between the 5th century and 10th century. The 12 Buddhist, 17 Hindu and 5 Jain caves, built in close proximity, demonstrate the religious tolerance prevalent during this period of Indian history.

The colours of the Taj
Taj Mahal changes its moods with the seasons and the different times of the day. At dawn, the marble has a delicate bloom in shell pink, by noon it glitters majestically white, turning to a soft pearly grey at dusk. On full-moon away against the star-spangled sky. Monsoon clouds give it a moody blue tint and it appears and disappears like a mirage in the drifting mists of winter.
It can be solid and earthbound, fragile and ethereal, white, amber, grey and gold. The many faces of Taj Mahal display the seductive power of architecture at its best.
The Main Building
The tomb stands on a marble plinth six-metres high. The four minarets at each corner beautifully frame the tomb. The plinth stands on a high standstone platform and at the far ends of this base are two identical sandstone structures, a mosque to the west and its jawab, or echo, to the east. This was the mehman khana or guesthouse. Thus, the main building is not just of great size but beautifully proportioned and balanced in design.
The octagonal central hall has four smaller octagonal halls round it and is decorated with magnificent inlay and dado panels done in high relief. The bulbous, perfectly-balanced double dome rises to a height of 45 metres and the four chhattris flanking and balancing the high drum give it added height. Taj Mahal rises 75 metres high and is, in fact, taller than the Qutb Minar.
An ornate marble screen, carved so fine that it almost has the texture of lace surrounds the cenotaphs in the central hall. However, as was the tradition during Mughal times, the actual graves lie in an underground crypt directly below the cenotaphs.
Wow!!! Kuldip
