Some good advice...........

1)  Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.

2)  Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older,
     their conversational skills will be as important as any other.

3)  Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.

4)  When you say, "I love you," mean it.

5)  When you say, "I'm sorry", look the person in the eye.

6)  Be engaged at least six months before you get married.

7) Believe in love at first sight.

glasses2  Never laugh at anyone's dreams.
     People who don't have dreams don't have much.

9)  Love deeply and passionately.
You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely.

10)  In disagreements, fight fairly. Avoid name calling.

11)  Don't judge people by their relatives.

12)  Talk slowly but think quickly.

13)  When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer,
       smile and ask, "Why do you want to know?"

14)  Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

15)  Say "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze.

16)  When you lose, don't lose the lesson.
[/b]
17)  Remember the three R's: Respect for self, Respect for
       others, and Responsibility for all your actions.

18)  Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
       When you realize you've made a mistake,
       take immediate steps to correct it.

 20)  Always remember, a true friend is someone who
        reaches for your hand and touches your heart.

here's trying to define love........

1. Love Begins With a Smile….Grows With a Kiss…and Ends With a Tear!
2.  Love Can Sometimes Be Magical, But Magic Can Sometimes be an Illusion!
3.  Love is Like a Book…If You Tear a Page, You Rip The Heart…And Have to Pay For Both!
4.  Love is Like a Butterfly, Hold It Too Tight, It'll Crush, Hold It Too Loose, It'll Fly
5. Love is not blind... it sees more and thats why it is willing to see less.....

At the end of trying to describle love, i almost forgot that i can do it in one word........... it is
"UNDESCRIBABLE"

I WANT EVERYONE TO TRY AND DESCRIBE LOVE......

this is abbeutiful story i read...........

After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman
 out to dinner and a movie.  She said, "I love you, but I know this
 other woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you."
 
 The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who
 has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my
 three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.
 
 That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a
 movie. "What's wrong, are you well?" she asked. My mother is the type
 of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation
 is a sign of bad news. "I thought that it would be pleasant to spend
 ! some time with you," I responded.
 
 "Just the two of us." She thought about it for a moment, and then
 said, "I would like that very much."
 
 That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit
 nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed
 to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat
 on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had
 worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a
 face that was as radiant as an angel's. "I told my friends that I was
 going to go out with my son, and they were impressed," she said, as
 she got into the car. "They can't wait to hear about our meeting."
 
 We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and
 cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we
 ! sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large
 print. Half way through the entries, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom
 sitting there staring at me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips. "It
 was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small," she
 said. "Then it's time that you relax and let me return the favor," I
 responded.

 
 During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation - nothing
 extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other's life.
 We talked so much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her
 house later, she said, "I'll go out with you again, but only if you
 let me invite you." I agreed.
 
 "How was your dinner date?" asked my wife when I got home. "Very
 nice. Much more so than I could have imagined," I answered.
 
 A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart a! ttack. It
 happened so suddenly that I didn't have a chance to do anything for
 her. Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a
 restaurant receipt from the same place mother and I had dined. An
 attached note said: "I paid this bill in advance. I wasn't sure that
 I could be there; but nevertheless, I paid for two plates - one for
 you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night
 meant for me. I love you, son."
 
 At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time:
 
 "I LOVE YOU" and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve.
 
 Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the
 time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till "some other time."

That's crazy stuff.
Sliver rhymes with Silver though...
So does splinter, fender...a few others
but you're right abt Orange. No other word in the english language rhymes with it.
Also hungry and angry are the only words that end in "gry" Weird huh?

if you mean "put" as in "to put something down", then I think most people do pronounce it with a "Short U", but it depends on the accent of the speaker.
That's why Hindi and Sanskrit are so beautiful, they're like perfect.
But English and all it's weirdness is endearing also.

OK, so apparently, yoindia has some sort of spellcheck installed.
I was trying to type "U" as in the  INDIVIDUAL LETTER U. But, it got changed to "YOU"
Strange!

hey i noticed that "u" thing toooooooo........
anyways what i mean is the pronounciation of put and cut....is different....
anyways......... i guess its hard to xplain by writing........

english though being a bit confusing is an international language......... and for a good reason......... i believe its one of the most beautiful languages for people who can take interest in it............
i love my hindi too........now that im in london........ i don't get to speak so often.... but yoindia keeps me going...........
