Can we think of a Christmas without a Christmas tree? No we can't. It has become an indispensable part of Christmas celebration Christmas tree is regarded as one of the most dominant symbols of the Christmas celebration all over the world. The celebration is incomplete without a Christmas tree. The freshness and aroma of a real Christmas tree have been an integral part of the celebration. The preparation for the celebration usually begins with the selection of the tree and continues till the day of Christ. It is said that the Christmas tree originated in Germany in the 16th century. The very first trees were oak, the same tree used for the Yule Log. Trees have been a symbol of good luck since the Middle Ages. In Germany, whenever someone would build a house, a small evergreen tree would be nailed to the highest beam. Later on they started bringing those trees inside their home during the time of Christmas. It was common for the German people to decorate fir trees, inside and out, with roses, apples, and colored paper during the festive season. The Christmas tree was not widely used in Britain until the 19th century. The Pennsylvania Germans brought it to America in the 1820's. Christmas trees have been sold commercially in the United States since about 1850. The best selling trees are Scotch pine, Douglas fir, Noble fir, Fraser fir, Virginia pine, Balsam fir and white pine.
According to legends, the Christmas tree is associated with the birth of Jesus Christ. It is believed that on the night of His birth, all living creatures came to Bethlehem to greet him with gifts. The olive tree came along with its fruit and the palm with its date but the fir had nothing to gift the newborn king. So an angel, taking pity on the fir, commanded a cluster of stars to shine on its beautiful boughs. Baby Jesus smiled on seeing the lighted tree, and blessed it. That's why; the fir tree is always lighted with many decorations on it, to please little children during Christmas. It is also said that the triangular shape of the tree symbolizes the Trinity and points upwards towards the God. While the light, gift and decorations on the Christmas tree mean heaven; love and charity respectively. Even the decorations on the Christmas trees draw their root in traditional values. The crystal balls symbolizes the fruit of redemption, the electric light or the candles are ancient symbols that stand for the triumph of spring over the darkness of winter. The light also symbolizes the light that Jesus Christ cast upon the lives of the people. The Holy, when it flies down to earth, is believed to take the shape of a dove. The dove symbolizes the Holy Spirit, while the bell symbolizes the joys of life.

Law Breaking is easy , Nation building is tough
Personally saying my experience is horrible being in Bangalore . Here People dont mind whether they are driving on road or footpath. Last Sunday a biker hit me from my back and that was because i was walking in footpath , not only this but they are not even bother that they have hit a person and are voilating rules. So called city Bangalore having maximum number of software as well as other sectors also but still it lacks in the civic sence. I don't mind saying it that our whole country has the same condition, but driving in the footpath I have seen first time in Bangalore. Hope my friend I am able to pass my message to you, I honestly request you people please follow traffic rules, have some civic sense.

That is what i feel for u
Would you just listen and please don't say a word, just yet,
I'd like you to think back to the very first time we met,
How you felt around me? The memories we shared,
And just remember that once upon a time, you really cared.
Now think about how we parted, and how much I cried,
But please don't speak, remember that I never ever lied,
That I told you the honest truth about why we were to split,
But now I'd like you to know that my heart broke bit by bit.
The pain was deep, unbearable and painful, for so many years,
I'll never forget all the sadness, all the uncontrollable tears,
Slowly I am rebuilding my life, I am content with what I've got,
And although it is hard I am beginning to forget what I have not.
You were a special part of my life that I will never forget,
A part of my life that broke my heart, but that I don't regret,
You gave me some happy memories that I'll keep in my heart,
Although sometimes I wish that you and I didn't have to part.
You were my first love and my true love, that will always be so,
After all of the heartache, sadness and never ending pain, I know,
You and I had something special and that will never change,
Because I love you and loving someone else will always seem strange.
Would you just listen and please don't say a word, not ever,
I'd like you to remember that once upon a time, we said forever,
That I had hopes and dreams, that I was the one who threw them away,
And this is something I will always regret until my dying day.

Management Skills..
"The only thing i believe is this: A player does not have to like manager and he does not have to respect a manager . All he has to do is obey the rules"
A manager is not a person who can do the work better than his men; he is a person who can get his men to do the work better than he can.
What is the difference between management and leadership? It is a question that has been asked more than once and also answered in different ways. The biggest difference between managers and leaders is the way they motivate the people who work or follow them, and this sets the tone for most other aspects of what they do.
Many people, by the way, are both. They have management jobs, but they realize that you cannot buy hearts, especially to follow them down a difficult path, and so act as leaders too.
