Wife...
Tomorrow you may get a working woman, but you should marry her with these facts as well.
Here is a girl, who is as much educated as you are ;
Who is earning almost as much as you do ;
One, who has dreams and aspirations just as
you have because she is as human as you are ;
One, who has never entered the kitchen in her life just like you or your
Sister haven't, as she was busy in studies and competing in a system
that gives no special concession to girls for their culinary achievements.
One, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters, almost as much as you do for 20-25 years of her life ;
One, who has bravely agreed to leave behind all that, her home, people who love her, to adopt your home, your family, your ways and even your family ,name
One, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from day #1, while you sleep oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances, environment and that kitchen
One, who is expected to make the tea, first thing in the morning and cook food at the end of the day, even if she is as tired as you are, maybe more,
and yet never ever expected to complain ;
to be a servant, a cook, a mother,a wife, even if she doesn't want to ; and is learning just like you are as to what you want from her ; and is clumsy and sloppy at times and knows that you won't like it if she is too demanding, or if she learns faster than you.
One, who has her own set of friends, and that includes boys and even men at her workplace too, those, who she knows from school days and yet is willing to put all that on the back-burners to avoid your irrational jealousy, unnecessary competition and your inherent insecurities.
Yes, she can drink and dance just as well as you can, but won't, simply
Because you won't like it, even though you say otherwise.
One, who can be late from work once in a while when deadlines, just like yours, are to be met ;
One, who is doing her level best and wants to make this most important relationship in her entire life a grand success, if you just help her some
and trust her.
One, who just wants one thing from you, as you are the only one she knows in your entire house - your unstinted support, your sensitivities and most importantly - your understanding, or love, if you may call it.
But not many guys understand this......
Please appreciate "HER"
I hope you will do.... :)

Planes collide on runway before takeoff
BOSTON -- The wing of a Delta jet clipped the tail of an aircraft that provides regional air service for the carrier while both planes were on the runway and preparing to fly out of Boston on Thursday evening, forcing officials to remove both from service for inspections.
The incident involved Delta Flight 266 from Boston to Amsterdam which hit the vertical stabilizer of Atlantic Southeast Airlines Flight 4904, also on departure from Boston to Raleigh-Durham, Delta spokesman Trebor Banstetter said.
Investigators were talking to crew and passengers of both aircraft, trying to figure out the circumstances surrounding the crash, Orlandella said.
The Delta jet returned to the gate and ASA passengers were transported by bus to the terminal.
Atlanta-based Delta says both aircraft have been removed from service for inspections. Passengers are being put on other planes.
The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed that a Delta 767 collided with an Atlantic Southeast jet on a taxiway.
"While taxiing out for departure, the wing from Flight 266 from Boston to Amsterdam made contact with the vertical stabilizer of ASA Flight 4904, also on departure from Boston to Raleigh-Durham," the New York Post quoted a statement from Delta Air Lines, as saying.
"Both aircraft have been removed from service for inspections and passengers are currently being re-accommodated on other aircraft," the statement added. (Agencies)
Hundreds of passengers were reportedly evacuated from two Delta jets after they collided on a runway at Boston’s Logan International Thursday evening.

Loosely based on a piece of classical Chinese erotic literature, the $3.2-million Cantonese-language movie "3-D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy" features orgies, swinging and some very graphic sex scenes.

Scene from Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy.
Curious movie-goers from all walks of life formed long queues outside cinemas in the southern Chinese city, eager to catch an eyeful of steamy 3D action.
Many in the crowd were women. "I'm not normally much of a movie-goer, but this one is just too good to miss," said 32-year-old Justin Lai as she waited at a cinema in Causeway Bay, one of the city's busiest entertainment districts.
The 113-minute film has been rated Category III in Hong Kong, which bars anyone under 18 from watching it.

Another strong quake jolts Japan
5:21 pm: Japan's NHK World Live has uploaded a video of the quake and the subsequent aftershocks. Experts are reportedly saying today's quake could be an aftershock of last month's big quake.
2:30pm: According to the site Japan Quake Map, the numbers of the quake has increased to 16, although most are mild after shocks. Here's a map that helps you track today's quakes.

Japan expanded the evacuation zone around Fukushima plant after today's quake and multiple aftershocks. Read full story here.
2 pm: Exactly a month after the devastating Japan quake, another one jolts the country. The latest quake measures 7.1 on the Richter scale.
Tsunami alerts have been sounded along the eastern and north eastern coast of Japan.
Power supply to the Fukushima plant has been shut down although there aren't any fears of more nuclear leakage yet. A news advisory says there aren't any reports of damage to the nuke plants.
