Hang in Here!!!!!

11 PEOPLE ... ON A ROPE
Eleven people were hanging on a rope, under a helicopter.

10 men and 1 woman.
The rope was not strong enough to carry them all, so they decided that one had to leave,
Because otherwise they were all going to fall.
They weren't able to choose that person, until the woman gave a very touching speech.

She said that she would voluntarily let go of the rope, because, as a woman, she was used to giving up everything for her husband and kids or for men in general, and was used to always making sacrifices with little in return.

As soon as she finished her speech, all the men started clapping . . ..... . . .

Cause of fire ..................?

A couple lost their 25year old son, Arun Gopal Ratnam, in a fire at home on June 4th.

The son who had graduated with MBA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, two weeks earlier had come home for a while. He had lunch with his dad at home and decided to go back to clean up his hostel room. His father told him to wait, to meet his mother, before he went back for a few days.

Arun decided to take a nap while waiting for his mom to come back home from work.

Some time later their neighbors called 911 (emergency) when they saw black smoke coming out of the house. Unfortunately, 25 years old Arun died in the three year old house.

It took several days of investigation to find out the cause of the fire. It was determined that the fire was caused by the lap top resting on the bed.

When the lap top was on the bed cooling fan did not get the air to cool the computer and that is what caused the fire. He did not even wake up to get out of the bed because he died of breathing in carbon monoxide.

The reason I am writing this to all of you is that I have seen many of us using the laptop while in bed . Let us all decide and make it a practice not to do that.

The risk is real. Let us make it a rule not to use the laptop on bed with blankets and pillows around.

PLEASE EDUCATE AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN.
