That was a message
True to your carriage
Your poem has driven
Pint-sized jack to be striven
To compose this paean
In honor of Lady Elan.
My first steps in rhyme
Are they worth a dime?
Posted by OT
When he's not vetti.
(vetti=useless) :)
Ooops...me??
Mod,Are you sure ???
Man! U musta run outa options
To come knocking on my door !!!
Come on in
Apna ghar hi samjho
Watch it !Dont trip on my words
And excuse the mis-matched decor..
Aaaaa CNBC
Friends of my youth
The Salt in my Stew
I cut my trading teeth with U !
Lets steal an hour
From days gone by
When the Bull Sprinted the Marathon
When the Sensex and Nifty soared
And so did you and I
And MMB
Where friendship takes precedence over war
Where we consistently try to raise the bar
Loud talk
Simple Tidings
Discussion of philosophy
Investigating multiple ids !!
And you MOd??
What under heaven happened to you??
MMB changes hues ,clothes
But never you!!
Your hair !!The little that you have is beautifully dyed!
And where are your legs??
And why is your torso so wide???
I have lived and learnt a lifetime at the mkts
Sometimes in sorrow
Sometimes in joy divine
My thoughts lofty,weak ,trivial
Matching the Nifty`s design
But I am told
A strong mind begins
With a fit body and a happy soul
So thats a new beginning for me
My all new GOAL
So thank You Mod
Bee good ,look after yourself
and Keep smiling,
What more can I say??
In some twisted way
It was imp to tick this in my diary
Been there
Done that
Boarder of the day !!
It took me 15 min to understand lyrics...

Woh Yaaron ki mehfil....
Woh muskuraate pal,
Dil se judaah hain
[Par dil ke bahut kareeb hain]....
Apna beeta hua kal.
Kabhi Zindagi guzarti thhi
Hasne-Hasaane mein.....
Aaj waqt guzarta hain...
Kaagaz-Ke-Tukde kamaane mein .
Cheers
pranky!!

MMB Moderator, nice of you to have thought of us, the alumni of MMB!!!! Thanks to you, Radhika, too for having been the driving force behind this invite.
Bhavani did call me a while ago requesting me to take a look at your appeal and respond appropriately.
It is neither the format nor the cosmetics of the MMB pages nor even the need for navigational gymnastics that made MMB an undesirable place for many of us to visit. Arguments, misunderstandings and accusations in the heat of the moment do happen once in a while in any field of human activity: at home, at work or inter-personal relationships between any two persons. These are things that the few learn to live with for the good of the many.
However, one does not have to go to places where there is no reasonable protection against sustained and repeated stalking and gender-based or age-based verbal abuse. It simply vitiates the atmosphere. We have even had an octogenarian boarder ridden rough shod by a group on the Board with the moderator expressing inability to do anything about it.
Sure we cannot select our parents, neither our children nor siblings, but we surely can be selective in the company we barge into for joy and solace ot else it will merely prove the adage that honorary work is doomed to honorable failure.
It is thus not the cosmetology that matters, but real evidence that the moderator is not merely an impotent spectator as undesirables rule the roost.
I have not come to reopen raw wounds that refuse to heal but merely to say what hinders several from continuing their association with MMB.
with regards,==POORNA==

MMB has come a long way since we first started off all thanks to our dedicated boarder community. The board has flourished and grown only because of our boarders and thier informative exchanges. But along the way we have lost many boarders to heated arguements, misunderstandings and false accusations...
Boarders if you are reading please come back.. the board is not as exciting as before without you guys ...Venugopalg, Sam99, Mutilite, Harminder, rawstoc, sean, premrao, equitysurgeon, sainik, chest50arms20 and all the other old timers - we miss you on the MMB, the boarders miss you, the MMB team misses you.
Here appealing to all of you to be back in action as soon as possible.
-MMB Moderator
p.s: this doesn't only apply to these boaders - but to all boarders we value.

As a child, we have to face many a times the uneasy teasing of our fellow mates. It is in the nature of children, immaturity the obvious reason, to annoy an isolated poor fellow. Myself being a victim of those tantrums, once asked God why could not He make everyone around me a friend of mine for ever ! Why couldn't He tell my arrogant fellows in their dreams to make me their permanent companion! Within a week to my total disbelief, the two of most improbable candidates met me in person and told how God came to their dream and asked them to make me as their friend forever.
Though I have lost that pure proximity with God with passing age, but still reminds me of His silent PRESENCE around us.

Hi MOD,
Thanks for replying.
As regular boarders we have benefited a lot by MMB and we want to pay back our debt.This board has really some very intelligent & resourceful men and women boarders.If you pool their ideas and implement you would build a very strong and popular MMB.As an Indian I see tons and tons of indifference,lethargy,arrogance in all walks of life.I want at least MMB to be an exception in being transparent and interactive.When that is not happening I show my irritation.Nothing personal.
Please make use of at least few boarders to design the site.The spec for any product is made by the end users/customers and NOT the producer.Even if you incorporate one idea per month,we can make MMB formidable for many years.
Please break the shell,come and mingle with us freely.A leader should be seen and liked by the team
Regards,
When in doubt Tell the truth.

Micky,
I dont think there are too many people around who have never spoken a lie.Even the sincere triers are failures at some point in time.
Micky in our good old school days we learnt great lessons in Moral Science.It is very easy to lie to and deceive others but one can ever cheat oneself.Many convince themselves they are doing the right thing even when actions are negative.
Gone are the days of Integrity,Character,Honesty and Charity.A very large tenure of my earthly Life I lived at near idealistic levels.I could never countenance Crooks,hated giving Bribes and at times openly told my Bosses and Co that the strategy they were following was all b_ll-. By the time I was 29 I realised I had to go my own way even though in that age category I was near about the best paid in the Country.Life didnt get much better in Business either.If you dont do unaccounted Sales and got no "Do Numbri" to bribe you will be foisted with Demand notices,Cases and seizure orders from all Govt Depts.All your time will be wasted in these unproductive activities and stress levels will go High.
While the personal Satisfaction may be great I am not sure many would have had the strength to put up with the trauma and humiliation of being upright.Even behind your back close family members would be calling you a FOOL for having sacrificed so much for so little.No medals and gifts from anyone(family included) for being an upholder of Principles and Values.
Knowing the practical World we live in I am really not sure whether I can recommend the path I followed to anybody else.
Preaching is Easy,Practise is Painful !!
Regards!
Goldchest.

Our reply
My ten commandments(suggestions and requests):
1.Please be corresponding freely with us and exchange ideas.We are also for the growth of MMB.Do not behave like our elected representatives to assembly and parliament and show your face when you make the next alterations in Sep 2010
(MMB Moderator reply: Done from now one you will see us and hear from us everyday)
2.Why to kill our interest and creativity by destroying our home page? I do not think that even one soul is keen to know our CV typed in courier new 9 point size font.
(MMB Moderator reply: the home page was not destroyed only enhanced to aid better navigation)
3.Pl introduce the system of seeing a message and all replies to it under it.otherwise any reply should be mentioning 'in reply to so and so's message dated ***'.
(MMB Moderator reply: Excellent idea... the reason we keep the thread format is because we don't want to disturb or break a conversation link)
The problem with current system is that if a thread is started by A on the Ist of a month and until 30 th B to Y reply to that and finally on 31st Z comes and replies to A 'You are an idiot',it creates doubts in the minds of B to Y that it is for them and worse still A thinks it is not for him
(MMB Moderator reply: The thread is structured in a way that you can see the immediate reply to the message posted.. so a message and all replies to that will be seen together.. in a thread.. it is a universal format on all messageboards)
4.It is also worth codifying all the message with one numeral(denoting year) four alpha system(running serial)viz 8ABCD.This can cover about 4.7 lakhs of messages per calender year
and drawing reference and searching would be easy.
(MMB Moderator reply: Excellent idea will incoporate)
5.Storage our PM sent by us should also be provided
(MMB Moderator reply: that is still available.. its just not called inbox.. you can find it under Messages posted by you)
6.The address book concept is good.But I do not know how to load names of my choice in to them.Pl.explain
(MMB Moderator reply: This will be explained in detail in another message)
7.How about provision for some colorful icons expressing feelings?
(MMB Moderator reply: Excellent idea will incoporate)
8.Since your policy to allow more than one ID to all,guest ID etc remain in tact,why cant you introduce a system of adding a mask icon to any guest ID who is also a regd boarder?
((MMB Moderator reply: hahaaa nice one technically wonder if its possible)
Also no guest ID should be allowed to criticize any regd boarder.
(MMB Moderator reply: definately will make sure that doesn't happen)
9.I think changing the rating system to more explicit one word comments would add colors:
The following seven to begin with:
Excellent
I agree
Humorous
Obscene
Nonsense
Objectionable
Irrelevant
(MMB Moderator reply: we will stick to five or else we will mess up earlier ratings... but nice idea thanks)
10.Pl.also delete the ids of those who do not post for more than three months in succession.It would at least clean the house and free some good nicks available to others. (MMB Moderator reply: ahhaaa can't do that... our boarders take long breaks and we try and coax them back)

Dear Atheist....
This one is for you...hope you enjoy it...(no strings attached...truly...)
GOD OR EVIL ?????
This has a thought provoking message no matter how you believe...
The professor of a university challenged his students with this question: \`Did God create everything that exists?\` A student answered bravely, \`Yes, he did!\`
The professor then asked, \`If God created everything, then he created evil. Since evil exists (as noticed by our own actions), so God is evil.\` The student couldn\`t respond to that statement causing the professor to conclude that he had \`proved\` that \`belief in a benevolent God\` was a fairy tale, and therefore worthless.
Another student raised his hand and asked the professor, \`May I pose a question?\` \`Of course,\` answered the professor. The young student stood up and asked : \`Professor does cold exist?\` The professor answered, \`What kind of question is that? Of course cold exists... have you never been cold?\`
The young student answered, \`In fact sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat. Absolute Zero is the total absence of heat, but cold does not exist as such. What we have done is create a term to describe how we feel if we don\`t have body heat or we are not hot.\`
\`And, does darkness exist?\`, he continued. The professor answered, \`Of course.\` This time the student responded, \`Again you\`re wrong, Sir. Darkness is, in reality, the absence of light. We can study light, but not darkness. How can you know how dark a certain space is? You measure the amount of light present. Isn\`t this correct? Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present.\`
Finally, the student asked the professor, \`Sir, does evil exist?\` Now uncertain, the professor responded, \`Of course, as I have already said. We see it everyday. It is in the daily example of man\`s inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil.\`
The student responded, \`Evil does not exist, Sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold - a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is not like faith, or love, that exist just as does light and heat. EVIL IS THE RESULT OF WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MAN DOES NOT HAVE GOD\`S LOVE PRESENT IN HIS HEART. IT\`S LIKE THE COLD THAT COMES WHEN THERE IS NO HEAT, OR THE DARKNESS THAT COMES WHEN THERE IS NO LIGHT.’
