How to marry a rich guy?

A young and pretty lady posted this on a popular forum:

Title: What should I do to marry a rich guy?

I'm going to be honest of what I'm going to say here. I'm 25 this year. I'm very pretty, have style and good taste. I wish to marry a guy with $500k annual salary or above. You might say that I'm greedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered only as middle class in New York. My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k annual salary? Are you all married?

I wanted to ask: what should I do to marry rich persons like you? Among those I've dated, the richest is $250k annual income, and it seems that this is my upper limit. If someone is going to move into high cost residential area on the west of New York City Garden (?), $250k annual income is not enough.

I'm here humbly to ask a few questions:
1) Where do most rich bachelors hang out? (Please list down the names and addresses of bars, restaurant, gym)
2) Which age group should I target?
3) Why most wives of the riches is only average-looking? I've met a few girls who doesn't have looks and are not interesting, but they are able to marry rich guys
4) How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can only be your girlfriend? (my target now is to get married)

Ms. Pretty

Here's a reply from a Wall Street Financial guy:

Dear Ms. Pretty,

I have read your post with great interest. Guess there are lots of girls out there who have similar questions like yours. Please allow me to analyse your situation as a professional investor. My annual income is more than $500k, which meets your requirement, so I hope everyone believes that I'm not wasting time here. From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marry you. The answer is very simple, so let me explain. Put the details aside, what you're trying to do is an exchange of "beauty" and "money": Person A provides beauty, and Person B pays for it, fair and square. However, there's a deadly problem here, your beauty will fade, but my money will not be gone without any good reason. The fact is, my income might increase from year to year, but you can't be prettier year after year. Hence from the viewpoint of economics, I am an appreciation asset, and you are a depreciation asset. It's not just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation. If that is your only asset, your value will be much worried 10 years later.

By the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating with you is also a "trading position". If the trade value dropped, we will sell it and it is not a good idea to keep it for long term - same goes with the marriage that you wanted. It might be cruel to say this, but in order to make a wiser decision any assets with great depreciation value will be sold or "leased". Anyone with over $500k annual income is not a fool; we would only date you, but will not marry you. I would advice that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy. And by the way, you could make yourself to become a rich person with $500k annual income. This has better chance than finding a rich fool.

Hope this reply helps. If you are interested in "leasing" services, do contact me…

Signed,
J.P. Morgan

Beware of Key Trackers

A new device has been introduced to the marketplace that is a huge danger to anyone who uses a PC that is not theirs. It is known as a key tracker and it sits between the keyboard and the PC. As can be seen in the pictures it is very discreet but is probably one of the most dangerous items of equipment to personal information that is readily available. These devices record every key that is pressed on the keyboard. Due to it's position (it sits between the keyboard and the PC) the information is logged by the tracker before the PC knows about it and as such is very difficult for the PC to detect. They are available in both USB and PS2 formats so pretty much any PC can be logged. The user puts the tracker in line, leaves it there for a set amount of time and then retrieves it. They can then download the data onto their own PC.










If you intend to use a PC that is not yours (ie hotel business centre, internet café, airport etc), I would advise looking at the back of the PC to see if one of these trackers has been placed in line(scrambling under a desk is the better alternative to losing your email details). If you cannot get to see the back of the PC, I would suggest you don't use it for anything personal. If a tracker is there and you do not notice it, whoever placed it there (could be any user of that PC before you) will be able to recall all of your keystrokes - logins, passwords etc.



These trackers cost less than £30 and they are definitely out there already.

The Seed

A successful business man was growing old and knew it was time to chose a successor to take over the business. Instead of choosing one of his directors or his children, he decided to do something different.

He called all the young executives in his company together.

"It is time for me to step down and choose the next CEO," he said. "I have decided to choose one of you."

The young executives were shocked, but the boss continued. "I am going to give each one of you a seed today - a very special seed. I want you to plant the seed, water it, and come back here one year from today with what you have grown from the seed I have given you. I will then judge the plants that you bring, and the one I choose will be the next CEO." One man, named Jim, was there that day and he, like the others, received a seed. He went home and excitedly, told his wife the story. She helped him get a pot, soil and compost and he planted the seed. Every day, he would water it and watch to see if it had grown. After about three weeks, some of the other executives began to talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow. Jim kept checking his seed, but nothing ever grew.

Three weeks, four weeks, five weeks went by, still nothing. By now, others were talking about their plants, but Jim didn't have a plant and he felt like a failure.

Six months went by - still nothing in Jim's pot. He just knew he had killed his seed. Everyone else had trees and tall plants, but he had nothing. Jim didn't say anything to his colleagues, however. He just kept watering and fertilizing the soil - he so wanted the seed to grow. A year finally went by and all the young executives of the company brought their plants to the CEO for inspection. Jim told his wife that he wasn't going to take an empty pot. But she asked him to be honest about what happened.

Jim felt sick at his stomach. It was going to be the most embarrassing moment of his life, but he knew his wife was right. He took his empty pot to the board room. When Jim arrived, he was amazed at the variety of plants grown by the other executives. They were beautiful--in all shapes and sizes. Jim put his empty pot on the floor and many of his colleagues laughed. A few felt sorry for him!

When the CEO arrived, he surveyed the room and greeted his young executives. Jim just tried to hide in the back. "My, what great plants, trees, and flowers you have grown," said the CEO. "Today one of you will be appointed the next CEO!" All of a sudden, the CEO spotted Jim at the back of the room with his empty pot. He ordered the financial director to bring him to the front. Jim was terrified. He thought, "The CEO knows I'm a failure! Maybe he will have me fired!". When Jim got to the front, the CEO asked him what had happened to his seed. Jim told him the story.

The CEO asked everyone to sit down except Jim. He looked at Jim, and then announced to the young executives, "Here is your next Chief Executive! His name is Jim!" Jim couldn't believe it. Jim couldn't even grow his seed. How could he be the new CEO the others said? Then the CEO said, "One year ago today, I gave everyone in this room a seed. I told you to take the seed, plant it, water it, and bring it back to me today. But I gave you all boiled seeds; they were dead - it was not possible for them to grow. All of you, except Jim, have brought me trees and plants and flowers. "When you found that the seed would not grow, you substituted another seed for the one I gave you. Jim was the only one with the courage and honesty to bring me a pot with my seed in it. Therefore, he is the one who will be the new Chief Executive!"

If you plant honesty, you will reap trust.
If you plant goodness, you will reap friends.
If you plant humility, you will reap greatness.
If you plant perseverance, you will reap contentment.
If you plant consideration, you will reap perspective.
If you plant hard work, you will reap success.
If you plant forgiveness, you will reap reconciliation.

So, be careful what you plant now; it will determine what you will reap later.

Men Should Learn

Rohit wakes up at home with a huge hangover. He forces himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins and a glass of water on the side table. He sits down and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed.

Rohit looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order, spotless, clean. So is the rest of the house. He takes the aspirins and notices a note on the table. "Honey, breakfast is on the stove, I left early to go shopping. Love You!"

So he goes to the kitchen and sure enough there is a hot breakfast and the morning newspaper. His son is also at the table, eating. Rohit asks, "Son, what happened last night?" His son says, "Well, you came home around 3 AM, drunk and delirious. Broke some furniture, puked in the hallway, and gave yourself a black eye when you stumbled into the door". Confused, Rohit asks, "So, why is everything in order and so clean, and breakfast is on the table waiting for me? I should expect a big quarrel with her!"

His son replies, "Oh, that! Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take your clothes n shoes off, you said, "Lady leave me alone! I'm married!"


Moral
Self-induced hangover -- Rs. 2000.00
Broken furniture -------- Rs. 20,000.00
Breakfast ---------------- Rs. 100.00

Saying The Right Thing While Drunk - PRICELESS

A Logical Deduction Puzzle...

4 criminals are caught and are to be punished.
The Judge allows them to be freed if they can solve a puzzle.
If they do not, they will be hung. They agreed.





The 4 criminals are lined up on some steps (shown in picture).
They are all facing in the same direction.
A wall seperates the fourth man from the other three.


So to summarise :-
Man 1 can see men 2 and 3.
Man 2 can see man 3.
Man 3 can see none of the others.
Man 4 can see none of the others.


The criminals are wearing hats.

* They are told that there are two white hats and two black hats.
* The men initally don't know what colour hat they are wearing.
* They are told to shout out the colour of the hat that
they are wearing as soon as they know for certain what colour it is.


They are not allowed to turn round or move.
They are not allowed to talk to each other.
They are not allowed to take their hats off.


Who is the person MOST CONFIDENT to shout out IN ANY CASE and why?


There is no trick to the question, just logical deduction.

Try...............

PARUTHIVEERAN Review- A milestone in the art of making Tamil Cinema

If any of you have the opinion that movies from Balu Mahendra, Barathi Rajaa, Mani Rathnam, Bala, Ram Gopal Varma alone have the richness in them to speak to the standards of winning National awards, then your opinions have to be revisited. All you need to do is, henceforth, add the name Ameer to this elite list. For those who watched Paruthiveeran this weekend in theatres, this introduction of mine to this movie’s review won’t be surprising at all.

This movie will definitely be nominated for a national award for Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Cinematographer, Best story (for the pro-social-equality theme of this movie) and will bag it all, and if there is any more award this movie takes, then it’s a real tonic for all young movie makers like Ameer, the director of this movie. I’m not a great movie critic but really fond of writing reviews for movies which I enjoyed watching. That liking towards evergreen movies made me write this review at 2 AM in the morning, after coming home watching the 10 o’clock show.

Unlike 98% of movies whose story line can be put into a single sentence, this movie stands different and really keeps you stuck to the seats for all the 175 minutes it spans. No one who had watched Paruthiveeran will ever be able to tell you the story straight away, which itself is a reason why this movie will be watched by all the theatre-goers and so will make it a commercial success. I really wish to read the review of this movie from another, if he/she manages to write the whole story in a single page at least, which I know is a real tough task to pen so.

Karthi, the hero of this movie has really achieved a lot as Paruthiveeran, with just a few months of sheer hard work and dedication which his father Sivakumar and elder brother Surya haven’t managed to, with their decades of experience in this industry. Hats off, his performance in the movie was acknowledged very well by the audience in almost all the scenes he appeared.

Priya Mani as Muththazhagu, a really cute performance in the first half and surprised everyone in the second half, especially in the last half hour of the movie. The experience of her, working with eminent directors like Balu Mahendra and Bharathi Rajaa were very much visible in this movie throughout. Saravanan, the hero of tamil cinema in the yester years’ performance in Paruthiveeran also needs a special mention. He was too good to watch, be it sentiment or comedy or stunts.

200% Flawless screenplay, Songs for the situations (Yuvan Shankar Raja has given really good background scores) and apt lyrics, Technically sound camera work - a special mention would be that the movie is shot in Black & White for the flash back and in pleasant color frames for the part of the story that runs in present. Aiming at the highest honor in Indian Cinema, the movie is true by all means, that, all the actors have dubbed for themselves. None of them have erred at any point of time in the movie, neither the technicians nor the actors.

Commercially, this movie will satisfy all A, B and C Centre crowd for the way the story is handled. First 100 minutes of pure fun, next 30 minutes of pleasant romance, next 20 minutes of high drama, and the last 25 minutes cannot be described by words.

Sentiment, Childhood memories, Stunts, Comedy, Songs, Suspense, Powerful dialogues are all blended in a way that this slow paced movie never makes you feel bored at any point of the 3 hours of your stay at the movie hall. So far, I haven’t spoken a word about the story line of this movie and only succeeded to an extent in sharing my experience and that itself, has already crossed a page.

I wondered why this movie was released and then taken back for the Valentine weekend, and thought that the director was afraid to release the movie amidst some bigwigs’. Now I feel like appreciating that decision of the makers of Paruthiveeran after watching it. Even though, a movie with the concept of LOVE, I too feel that it shouldn’t have been released for the Valentine weekend for the anti-climax it has. Still, this movie will do good business till the mid of april.

To sum it up, Paruthiveeran is a must watch for all Class Tamil movies’ lovers.

Boys, In spite of all this praise for this movie, I feel it is a must to mention that don’t ever take a feminine (Girls… Please don’t mistake, I’m not at all acting rude by saying this) with you to this movie. Not even your mother, Not even your sister, definitely not your wife, and above all, definitely definitely not your girl friend. If at all you do, please make sure that you are mentally prepared for the last 25 minutes where you will happen to witness the regular stories told in an untold fashion. Thank god that we were an all guys team in the theatre and that too with everyone of us watching the movie, without a word exchanged between us, something that has never happened within my group of friends.

The final 25 minutes, will bring a definite tear in the eyes of a stone hearted too. One cant really put in words that feel and it was more than a tear for me. I finally left the theatre with a satisfaction of having watched a movie of my lifetime.

Paruthiveeran – He is the best. Commercially and Technically.

All its waiting is to count the number of awards that it will take away during the Filmfare and National awards ceremony.

Never Cry For One Who Makes You Cry

Once, there was this guy, who was in love with a gal.

She wasn't the most beautiful and gorgeous but for him, she was everything.
He used to dream about her, about spending the rest of life with her.

His friends told him, "why do you dream so much about her, when you don't even know if she loves you or not? First tell her your feelings, and get to know if she likes you or not". He felt that was the right way.

The girl knew from the beginning, that this guy loves her. One day when he proposed, she rejected him.

His friends thought he would take to alcohol; drugs etc. and ruin his life. To their surprise, he was not depressed.When they asked him how was it that he is not sad, he replied, "Why should I feel bad? I lost one who never loved me & she lost the one who really loved and cared for her."

Never Cry for One Who Makes You Cry!

True Inceident in Frankfurt

Fingertip found in chocolate bar in Germany

Frankfurt: A man in Germany was put off his Italian chocolate treat when he noticed that a bump in the bar was not a nut but part of a human finger.

"He found a fingertip, complete with fingernail, right in the middle of the bar," said a police spokesman in the town of Mainz, close to Frankfurt.

"I suppose it went unnoticed because there were nuts in the chocolate and it was hard to tell the difference," the police spokesman said, adding the fingertip was being examined by forensic experts.

The 28-year-old man was in shock when he took the bar to police after a family doctor confirmed its contents.

Police declined to name the brand of the chocolate...........

This is a true story of a young college girl who passed away last month. Her name was Priya. She was hit by a lorry. She has a boy friend named Shankar. Both of them are true lovers. They always hang on the phone. You can never see her without her handphone. In fact she also changed her phone from Airtel to Hutch, so both of them can be on the same network, and save on the cost.

She spends half of the day talking with shankar. Priya's family knows about their relationship. Shankar is very close with Priya's family. (just imagine their love) . Before she passed away she always told her friends "If I pass away please burn me with my handphone" she also said the same thing to her parents.

After her death, people cant carry her coffin, I was there. A lot of them tried to do so but still cant , everybody including me, had tried to carry the coffin, the result is still the same. Eventually, they called their neighbour, a "bomoh" from Thailand (pak Darin), who is a friend of her father. He took a stick and started speaking to himself slowly. After a few minutes, he said "this girl misses something here". then her friends told Darin about her intentions to burn her with her phone. He then opened the coffin and place her phone and SIM card inside the casket. after that they tried to carry the coffin. It could be moved and they carried it into the van easily. All of us were shocked. (can u feel the fear. I'm shaking at this moment)

Priya's parents did not inform Shankar that Priya had passed away. After 2 weeks Shankar called Priya's mom. Shankar :...."Atte, I'm coming home today. Cook something nice for me. Dont tell Priya that I'm coming home today, i wanna surprise her." Her mother replied....."You come home first, i wanna tell you something very important." after he came, they told him the truth about Priya.

Shankar thinks that they were playing a fool. He was laughing and said "dont try to fool me - tell Priya to come out, i have a gift for her Please stop this nonsense". then they show him the original death certificate to him. They gave him proof to make him believe. (Shankar started to sweat) ..

He said... "Its not true. we spoke yesterday. She still calls me. Shankar was shaking. Suddenly, Shankar's phone rang. "see this is from Priya, see this..." he showed the phone to priya's family. all of them told him to answer.he talked using the loudspeaker mode. all of them heard his conversation.

Loud and clear, no cross lines, no humming. It is the actual voice of Priya & there is no way others could use her SIM card since it is nailed inside the coffin they were so shocked and asked for pak Darin's help again. pak Darin brought his master (tok Chen) to solve this matter. He & Darin worked for 5 hours. Then they discovered one thing...
