    No one will GET second chance to impress....

    Very very Impressive Questions and Answers..... ...



    Question 1: You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, it's
    raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three
    people waiting for a bus:


    An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
    An old friend who once saved your life.
    The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.

    Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing very well that there
    could only be one passenger in your car?

    This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a
    job application.

    * You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you
    should save her first;
    * or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and
    this would be the perfect chance to ! pay him back.
    * However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.

    The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming
    up with his answer. Guess what was his answer?

    He simply answered:

    "I would give the car keys to my Old friend and let him take the lady to
    the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of
    my dreams."

    Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought
    limitations. Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box."

    Question 2: What will you do if I run away with your sister?"

    The candidate who was selected answered " I will not get a better match for
    my sister than you sir"

    Question 3 : Interviewer (to a student girl candidate) - What is one
    morning you woke up & found that you were pregnant.

    Girl - I will be very excited and take an off, to celebrate with my
    husband.

    Normally an unmarried girl will be shocked to hear this, but she managed it
    well. Why I should think it in the wrong way, she said later when asked

    Question 4: Interviewer: He ordered a cup of coffee for the candidate.
    Coffee arrived kept before the candidate, then he asked what is before you?


    Candidate: Instantly replied "Tea"

    He got selected.

    You know how and why did he say "TEA" when he knows very well that coffee
    was kept before.

    (Answer: The question was "What is before you (U - alphabet)
    Reply was "TEA" ( T - alphabet)

    Alphabet "T" was before Alphabet "U"

    Question 5 : Where Lord Rama would have celebrated his "First Diwali"?
    People will start thinking of Ayodya, Mitila [Janaki's place], Lanka etc...


    But the logic is, Diwali was a celebrated as a mark of Lord Krishna Killing
    Narakasura. In Dusavataar, Krishnavathaar comes after Raamavathaar.

    So, Lord Rama would not have celebrated the Diwali At all!

    Question 6: The interviewer asked to the candidate "This is your last
    question of the interview. Please tell me the exact position of the center
    of this table where u have kept your files."

    Candidate confidently put one of his finger at some point at the table and
    told that this was the central point at the table. Interviewer asked how
    did u get to know that this being the central point of this table, then he
    answers quickly that sir u r not likely to ask any more question, as it was
    the last question that u promised to ask.....

    And hence, he was selected as because of his quick-wittedness. ........


    This is What Interviewer expects from the Interviewee. ....

    "THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX"











    OK, I HOPE YOU LIKED THIS POST......NOW , PLEASE POST YOUR VIEWS ABOUT THIS ......

              Sree.... I think the story of Diwali is actually related to the celebration of Rama returning to Ayodhya, not Krishna killing Narakasura.

                Significance in Hinduism




                Oil lamps on the eve of Diwali.


                The festival marks the victory of good over evil, and uplifting of spiritual darkness. Symbolically it marks the homecoming of goodwill and faith after an absence, as suggested by the Ramayana.
                On the day of Diwali, many wear new clothes and share sweets and snacks. Some North Indian business communities start their financial year on Diwali and new account books are opened on this day.
                Hindus have several significant events associated with it:
                • Return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya: Diwali also celebrates the return of Lord Rama, King of Ayodhya, with his wife Sita and brother Lakshmana to Ayodhya after a 14 year exile, and a war in which he killed the evil and demonic king Ravana. It is believed that the people of Ayodhya lit ghee lamps along the way to light their path in the darkness. Since Lord Rama traveled from South India to his kingdom in North India, he passed through the south earlier. This is the reason why the festival is celebrated a day earlier in South India.
                • The Killing of Narakasura: Celebrated as Narak Chaturdashi, one day before Diwali day, it commemorates the killing of Narakasura, an evil demon who created havoc, by Lord Krishna's wife Satyabhama. This happened in the Dwapar Yuga during this time of Lord Krishna's avatar. In another version, the demon was killed by Lord Krishna (Lord Krishna provokes his wife Satyabhama to kill Narakasura by pretending to be injured by the demon. Narakasura can only be killed by a woman) himself.[citation needed] Before Narakasura's death, he requested a boon from Satyabhama (believed to be an Avatar of Bhudevi), that everyone should celebrate his death with colorful light.
                • Austerities of Shakti: According to the Skanda Purana, the goddess Shakti observed 21 days of austerity starting from ashtami of shukla paksha (eighth day of the waxing period of moon) to get half of the body of Lord Shiva. This vrata (austerity) is known as kedhara vrata. Deepavali is the completion day of this austerity. This is the day Lord Shiva accepted Shakti into the left half of the form and appeared as Ardhanarishvara. The ardent devotees observe this 21 days vrata by making a kalasha with 21 threads on it and 21 types of offerings for 35 days. The final day is celebrated as kedhara gauri vrata. In eastern part of India, specially in Bengal, Kali puja has been celebrated on the day of Diwali.
                • Birth of Goddess Lakshmi: According to the Puranas, the goddess of Wealth, Prosperity and Luck Lakshmi was born from the churning of the Milk Ocean, along with other magical beings and objects including Amrit, Kamadhenu,Chintamani, Halahal aka Poison, etc. She was sought by both the Devas(Gods) and Danavas(Demons) but she chose Vishnu as her husband.
                • Krishna defeating Indra: Govardhan Puja is celebrated the day after Diwali. It is the day Lord Krishna defeated Indra, the deity of thunder and rain. As per the story, Krishna saw huge preparations for the annual offering to Lord Indra and questions his father Nanda about it. He debated with the villagers about what their 'dharma' truly was. They were farmers, they should do their duty and concentrate on farming and protection of their cattle. He continued to say that all human beings should merely do their 'karma', to the best of their ability and not pray for natural phenomenon. The villagers were convinced by Krishna, and did not proceed with the special puja (prayer). Indra was then angered, and flooded the village. Krishna then lifted Mt Govardhan and held it up as protection to his people and cattle from the rain. Indra finally accepted defeat and recognized Krishna as supreme. This aspect of Krishna's life is mostly glossed over[citation needed] but it set up the basis of the 'karma' philosophy later detailed in the Bhagavat Gita

                  so,guys plz no hard feeling...


                  and finally...whatever the reason .. lets just celebrate it as the festival of light..






                  Diwali comes from a Sanskrit word meaning a row of right and is commonly known as Festival of lights. India is known for its festivals. And Diwali is one of the most gracious Indian festivals and is celebrated with great excitement by whole Indian community. . It is celebrated on Amavasya, eighteen days after Dusherra.

Choti Diwali is celebrated on a smaller scale compared to to Badi Diwali.



                  The third day of Diwali festival is marked as the most important day. It falls on the fifteenth lunar day of Krishna Paksha in the Hindu month of Kartik (October-November). It is commonly known as Badi Diwali. On this day, people worship Lakshmi, Goddess of wealth. All business establishments and household perform Lakshmi puja after sunset.
