Did you know that you can use hypnotic language in everyday situations to help get the results you want? Meetings are a great opportunity to use these tools. Consider the following "script" that you can use when holding a meeting (adapting it as you see fit). The purpose of using this script to set up the meeting is to reduce the time spent, & to maximise the effectiveness.
We’re all busy people, & we’ve each got important things we’re involved in, & many calls on our time, so the fact that you’ve taken the time to come here today means we can all feel confident that we can achieve a positive result in a short time.
As you may already be aware, the reason we’re having this meeting is to [goal], & the purpose for doing this is [purpose].
By the way, I was having a meeting with someone the other day, & he asked me an unusual question. Right at the beginning of the meeting, he said "I’m wondering… what would you have to get from this meeting to be able to look back at the end of it & say "That was an incredibly valuable use of my time. We’ve really managed to get a positive result here."
It was such an interesting & thought-provoking question, that I thought I’d share it with you.
So I’d like to ask you, as you sit here thinking about I now, what would have to happen by the end of this meeting for you to be able to say "That was a valuable use of my time", & feel happy with the outcome.
Let’s take this section by section:
Section
Hypnotic Language Patterns
Hi, thanks for coming here today.
Just being polite.
We’re all busy people, & we’ve each got important things we’re involved in, & many calls on our time,
"Pacing" their current experience. This involves saying things about your listeners’ ongoing experience that they are likely to agree with. This starts to build rapport.
so
The word "so" implies that the previous statements have ‘caused’ what follows, making it seem more plausible (people love causes & reasons for things).
the fact that you’ve taken the time to come here today means we can all feel confident that we can achieve a positive result in a short time.
Powerful ‘A means B’ processing. Taking something that is definitely true ("You’ve come here today") and saying it means something which you’d like to become true ("we can achieve a positive result in a short time")
As you may already be aware,
This assumes that the listener is "well-informed" – people rarely will nod their head, even if they weren’t already aware
the reason we’re having this meeting is to [goal],
Stating a clear goal for the meeting is an important step – the meetings that waste the most time are the ones that don’t have a clear outcome
& the purpose for doing this is [purpose].
Connecting the goal of the meeting to a larger, more important business strategy or objective is a powerful one. If it’s something that’s important to everyone in the meeting, so much the better.
By the way, I was having a meeting with someone the other day, & he asked me an unusual question.
This immediately takes people into storytime mode. When people listen to stories, they go into a more relaxed & open state.
Right at the beginning of the meeting, he said
As soon as you say "He said", whatever follows is in quotes. This allows you to say something or ask something that you don’t necessarily want to say or ask directly.
"I’m wondering…
This is a softener, making the question that follows seem less intrusive
what would you have to get from this meeting to be able to look back at the end of it & say "That was an incredibly valuable use of my time. We’ve really managed to get a positive result here."
In order to answer this question, the person has to imagine that they’re at the end of the meeting, having achieved a really positive result, & feeling it was a valuable use of their time.
It was such an interesting & thought-provoking question, that I thought I’d share it with you.
So I’d like to ask you, as you sit here thinking about I now, what would have to happen by the end of this meeting for you to be able to say "That was a valuable use of my time", & feel happy with the outcome.
They’ve already started answering the question when you asked it in your ‘mini-story’, so when you ask it directly, they’ll already have started coming up with answers.
While the specific wording is entirely up to you, setting this kind of general "trajectory" is a powerful one to set up meetings in an effective way.
In addition, I recommend the following:
· Note all actions to be taken, with the name of the person responsible for taking the actions, & the date they’re to be done by.
· Note all issues identified, with the name of the person responsible for investigating / resolving them, & the date they’re to be done by.
· Note all decisions taken.
· Circulate the list of these items, then follow up to ensure that actions have been taken.

Seriosly a good tip for Heart!!!!
Heart Attacks and drinking warm water....
This is a very good article. Not only about the warm water after your meal, but about heart attacks. This makes sense.. theChinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals...not cold water...maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!!
Nothing to lose, everything to gain... For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this "sludge" reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a m! eal.
A serious note about heart attacks: You should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.
60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive...

Dangerous Virus....
Hi All,
There is a dangerous virus being passed around electronically, orally, and by hand.
This virus is called Worm-Overload- Recreational-Killer (WORK).
If you receive WORK from any of your colleagues, your boss, or anyone else via any means DO NOT TOUCH IT. This virus will wipe out your private life completely.
If you should come into contact with WORK, put your jacket on and take two good friends to the nearest grocery store. Purchase the antidote known as Work-Isolating-Neutralizer-Extract (WINE), Bothersome-Employer-Elimination-Rebooter (BEER) or my personal favorite, Victim-Of-Doing-Krappy-Administrative-Stuff (VODKA).
Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system. But do not stress; there is a vaccine available... RETIREMENT!!!

Right word or not?
WHENEVER I dress up for a party, I have to listen to several criticisms from my daughter because of my improper dress sense or an improper match. Her complaint is that I wear `some' dress but not the `correct' dress. Many times we use the English language the same way by using `some' word but not the `correct' word. But then the words are so confusing.
Consider this. If you said that you got a valuable gift, you will mean the same when you say that you got an invaluable gift. But if you say sand is insoluble in water you would be meaning opposite of soluble. But again flammable and inflammable both mean the same thing, a thing that can be set fire to.
Funnily, you can set fire to something but cannot set water to it. When you set fire to a building, it burns up. If you said it burnt down you would still be meaning the same. If you are a little refined, then you will probably say that papers burn up while the building burns down.
When my friend wanted me to look over (examine) his work, without overlooking (fail to notice) any flaw I was confused because I thought both words meant the same. So you think overlooking means failing to notice? Wait a minute. If I have a house overlooking (looking down upon) the sea then it does not mean my house fails to notice the sea. In fact it is the opposite and so the same word is also its opposite. Man, how on earth does any English teacher oversee (supervises) exams? She probably overlooks all these to oversee. I have to look into (investigate) this.
It is true that this English is a terrible language, isn't it? If taller is more tall than tall, then is truer more true than true? Does that mean true is false in front of truer? I would not know.
Take the truth about the poor chicken. After laying eggs it generally minds its business. But it cannot lay down (give up) eggs nor can it lie down (rest in a horizontal pose) while laying the eggs. The only time it lies down is when it is dead. Looking at the poor creature, I never realised it leads such a complicated existence. Of course, if it were to lay over (postpone) egg laying, then none of us can have omelettes, nicely overlaid (placed one upon the other) on bread toast. Well, I will then miss my omelettes, which I take bi-weekly. If you thought I meant twice a week you are right. But then if you think that bi-weekly means once in two weeks then also your are right!
Same is the fate of bimonthly. So biweekly, bimonthly and fortnightly may all mean the same thing. Or hey! may not. God, bless my soul!
Of course god is everywhere and can read this. As one philosopher remarked, god is everywhere and so nowhere in particular, hence He is nowhere while being everywhere. Since He is nowhere,
He is now here. I think such clear concepts (!) should make us grow up (to become fully-grown) so that we grow out of (to become too large or mature for) childish mentalities. But then the wise man who said that we grow old when we stop growing up has the last word on this.
If these are the fate of the words what will be the fate of the sentences? I shudder to think. If you believe that saying `not responsible' in a sentence is same as saying `irresponsible', consider this. In a contract you normally find this sentence — "Both parties will not be responsible for their duties if they are affected by any act of God — like floods, earthquakes etc. Now if you say it as — Both parties will be irresponsible for their duties if they are affected... " Well, my boss will show me the door if I make a contract reading like this. What do you think is the meaning of the sentence, "I am mad about my flat"? Well, it depends. To an American it means, "I am angry about my tyre puncture" while for a Briton it means, "I like very much my apartment". What is over pass (a road passing over another road) to an American is fly over to us. I cannot by mistake say it as pass over (disregard).
How do people say it is a beautiful language? I will say it is a beautiless language. Beautiless? Why not, if opposite of joyful is joyless then is beautiless not the opposite of beautiful? No way. The rules are always different. It is pitiful that there is no such adjective for love as for beauty, gratitude and joy. You can never say you are loveful.
That is why someone said — English is like a lady's wardrobe. It is full of dresses but the one she wants is never found. Likewise English is full of words but the word you want you cannot find. Wiselike, no?

Number "LUV" Horoscope
To find your love attitude number, add your birth month and your birth date
together. Keep reducing it until it's a single digit.
Example:
January 28
1+28 == 29
2+9 == 11
1+1 == 2;
your love attitude number is 2.
Read on below to find out what your love style is supposed to be. If your number
is:
ONE....
You are charming imaginative and independent. Usually your style is ahead of
others; you know what's in and what's way out. Sometimes you're a little too
aggressive when it comes to pursuing a love interest. You have a way of drawing
attention wherever you go, and this dramatic flair usually attracts the
strongest guys. Your competitive nature either draws or repels guys/gals...but
those who can't handle your power aren't your types anyway. At times you can be
possessive, manipulating and demanding with your friends and in love
relationships. You like guys/gals with lots of intelligence... and
knock-'em-dead good looks don't hurt either.
TWO....
Your love nature is sentimental, romantic and kind. Your easygoing, mild manner
allows almost everyone to feel very comfortable with you - especially shy
guys/gals. Your modesty and tact enable you to get along easily with both sexes.
You are a natural peacemaker and can be very persuasive with words, which helps
you to gain the respect of your classmates. You can also be too sensitive at
times, and your greatest drawback is a lack of confidence to stand up for
yourself in conflict. Your favorite type of guy/gal is gentle, affectionate, one
who is also strong and playful. A great sense of humor is also a must. A guy/gal
who loves to listen to music and dance should rank high on your list of
favorites, too.
THREE......
You are imaginative, fun-loving, thrill-seeking and expressive. You're so
charming that you attract many friends and you are almost never lacking
guys/gals. In your earlier years, you may be totally shy and self-conscious, but
you'll lose those qualities in the high-school years. You can be sort of vain or
even a bit of a show-off when you get caught up in exciting events in your life,
but you usually redeem yourself in some playful way before you lose a friend.
Jealousy shows its ugly head sometimes, but generally you aren't affected by it
unless your guy/gal tries to provoke it. In the guy/gal department, you prefer
the athletic or arti stic types. You're in absolute heaven when you find both of
those qualities in the same guy/gal. When you're looking for love, a guy/gal who
can make you laugh scores points, big time!
FOUR....
You tend to be loyal, dedicated and good hearted. You're one of the most
diligent students when you really try, and you tend to make your schoolwork a
priority. You also express those same qualities in your love relationship. No
one is more faithful and trusting than you. In fact, those tendencies can be a
little negative in your romantic life. You may sometimes hang on too long to a
guy/gal who doesn't give you the respect and love you deserve. You can be
stubborn and a bit of a troublemaker if the mood strikes you but you can usually
dig yourself out of that hole just in time to stay out of major trouble. You
usually fall for extremes when choosing a love mate - he/she may be a show-off
or a teacher's pet. Whatever the type, it helps if he/she is good-looking, too,
but that's not a major consideration for you.
FIVE.......
Your love attitude is adventurous, charismatic and spontaneous. Youâ€(tm)re creative
and adaptable, and you can come up with the most exciting and sometimes daring
things to do. Your quick intelligence and way with words help get you out of the
problems that come with being flirtatious and playing hard to get. You need to
pay close attention to your personal values because you love to try new and
different things and easily go along with the crowd and the consequences can put
extra strain on your relationship with a boy/girl. You like guys/gals who have
great bodies and good looks, along with exceptional brain and high grades. It
helps if th ey are highly athletic or involved in as many activities as you,
otherwise you might get bored! Variety is the key to your love attitude number.
SIX............
You are warm, loving, devoted and affectionate. Your outgoing, thoughtful nature
attracts many girlfriends/boyfriends to you and usually some of the nicest
guys/gals too. Because of your need to care, you can end up in a relationship
that requires too much care taking to make it balanced. Since home and family
play important roles in your life, you are unlikely to be attracted to guys/gals
who your parents wouldn't like. Sometimes you have a slight jealous streak...
but it doesn't last long. Some people with this love attitude number are prone
to making harsh judgements of others, especially when others don't share your
set of values. You are especially attracted to the good looking,
boy/girl-next-door type who is smart as well as a gentle man/woman.
SEVEN........
Your love nature is thoughtful, poetic, mystical and mysterious. A few people
with love attitude number seven are class clowns, and they usually attract
guys/gals who like to be given a hard time. But most of you are the quiet,
reserved types who dislike calling attention to yourself. Your type generally
attracts guys who feel the same way you do. Your refined, independent and
secretive nature is very alluring to certain guys/gals. At times you can also be
somewhat fault finding and a little demanding in your love relationship and with
friends. You are mostly attracted to guys/gals who aren't like all the rest; a
loner easily attracts y ou. And, if he/she reads a lot and enjoys learning,
he/she is especially perfect for you.
EIGHT.......
Your love attitude is confident, powerful and exciting. This number usually
makes for a very conscientious student, someone who puts schoolwork ahead of a
social life. However, you also enjoy being a leader among your classmates and
will seek offices or other positions that enable you to use your leadership
skills. Because of this, you can be somewhat intimidating to certain guys/gals.
You can also be a little too intense, bossy and jealous for your own good. Your
love match is definitely someone who is smart, handsome and popular. You like
quality over quantity and will usually wait until the guy/gal with the best
attributes comes along .
NINE........
You have a sophisticated attitude that is also generous and considerate. Your
responsible, charitable nature may find you attracting guys/gals who want
someone to confide in or who makes them feel secure. At a very young age, you
developed the type of personality that makes others feel safe and protected. You
will carry these qualities into your adult years and, down the road, you'll be a
good mom/dad because of them. On the negative side, you can be argumentative and
overly emotional, and you usually possess a temper that can make everyone run
for cover. You like the kind of guy/gal who is responsible and impeccably
dressed and has gorg eous eyes and a great body. Charm, wit and (of course)
brilliance could make him the perfect guy/gal for you.......
together. Keep reducing it until it's a single digit.

Story of INFOSYS Birth.
Story narrated by SUDHA MURTHY
> I was in Pune that I met Narayana Murthy through my
> friend Prasanna, who is
> now the Wipro chief, who was also training in Telco.
> Murthy was shy,
> bespectacled and an introvert. When he invited us
> for dinner, I was a bit
> taken aback... I refused since I was the only girl
> in the group. But Murthy
> was relentless and we all decided to meet for dinner
> the next day at 7.30 pm
> at Green Fields Hotel on Pune's Main Road. The next
> day, I went there at
> seven since I had to go to the tailor near the
> hotel. And what do I see?
>
> Mr. Murthy waiting in front of the hotel and it was
> only seven. Till today,
> Murthy maintains that I had mentioned (consciously!)
> that I would be going
> to the tailor at seven, so that I could meet him...
> And I maintain that I
> did not say any such thing, consciously or
> subconsciously, because I did not
> think of Murthy as anything other than a friend at
> that stage. We have
> agreed to disagree on this matter. Soon, we became
> friends. Our
> conversations were filled with Murthy's experiences
> abroad and the books
> that he had read. My friends insisted that Murthy
> was trying to impress me
> because he was interested in me. I kept denying it
> till one day, after
> dinner, Murthy said, I want to tell you something. I
> knew this was it. It
> was coming. He said, I am 5'4" tall. I come from a
> lower middleclass family.
> I can never become rich. You are beautiful, bright,
> and intelligent and you
> can get anyone you want. But will you marry me? I
> asked him to give me some
> time.
>
> When I went to Hubli, I told my parents about Murthy
> and his proposal. My
> mother was positive since Murthy was also from
> Karnataka, seemed intelligent
> and came from a good family. But my father asked,
> "What's his job, his
> salary, his qualifications, etc?" Murthy was working
> as a research assistant
> and earning less than me. He was willing to go Dutch
> with me on our outings.
>
> My parents agreed to meet him in Pune on a
> particular day at 10 am sharp.
> Murthy did not turn up. How can I trust a man to
> take care of my daughter if
> he cannot keep an appointment, asked my father. At
> 12 noon, Murthy turned
> up in a bright red shirt! He had gone on work to
> Bombay, got stuck in a
> traffic jam in the ghats, so he hired a taxi (though
> it was very expensive
> for him) to meet his would-be father-in-law. Father
> was unimpressed. He
> asked Murthy what he wanted to become in life.
> Murthy said he wanted to
> become a politician in the Communist Party and
> wanted to open an orphanage.
> My father gave his verdict. No. I don't want my
> daughter to marry somebody
> who wants to become a communist and then open an
> orphanage when he himself
> doesn't have money to support his family.
>
> By this time, I realized I had developed a liking
> towards Murthy, which
> could only be termed as love. I wanted to marry him
> because he was an honest
> man. I promised my father that I would not marry
> Murthy without his
> blessings, though at the same time, I would not
> marry anybody else. My
> father said he would agree if Murthy promised to
> take up a steady job. But
> Murthy refused, saying he would not do things in
> life because somebody
> wanted him to.
>
> I was caught between the two most important people
> in my life. The stalemate
> continued for three years, during which our
> courtship took us to every
> restaurant and cinema hall in Pune. Murthy was
> always broke. (Ironically,
> today, he manages Infosys Technologies Ltd, one of
> the world's most reputed
> companies.) He always owed me money. We used to go
> for dinner and he would
> say, I don t have money with me, you pay my share,
> will return it to you
> later. For three years, I maintained a book of
> Murthy's debts to me. No, he
> never returned the money and I finally tore it up
> after our wedding. The
> amount was a little over Rs.4,000. During this
> period, Murthy quit his job
> as a research assistant and started his own software
> business.
>
> Towards the late'70s computers were entering India
> in a big way. At the fag
> end of 1977, Murthy decided to take up a job as
> General Manager at Patni
> Computers in Bombay. But before he joined the
> company, he wanted to marry
> me. since he was to go on training to the US after,
> joining. My father gave
> in as he was happy Murthy had a decent job, now. We
> were married in Murthy's
> house in Bangalore on February 10, 1978, with only
> our two families present.
> I got my first silk sari. The wedding expenses came
> to only Rs 800, with
> Murthy and I pooling in Rs 400 each. I went to the
> US with Murthy after
> marriage. He encouraged me to see America on my own,
> because I loved
> traveling. I toured America for three months with a
> backpack.
>
> In 1981,Murthy wanted to start Infosys. Initially, I
> was very apprehensive
> about him getting into business. We were living a
> comfortable life in Bombay
> with a regular paycheck and I didn't want to rock
> the boat. But Murthy was
> passionate about creating good quality software. I
> decided to support him.
> Typically for Murthy, he had a dream and no money.
> So I gave him Rs 10,000
> which I had saved for a rainy day without his

>
> I can confidently say that if I had had a dream like

Isn't this STRANGE ???
isn't it strange ? Isn't it strange how Rs. 20/= seems like such a large amount when you donate it to temple, but such a small amount when you go shopping?
Isn't it strange how 2 hours seem so long when you're at place of worship, and how short they seem when you're watching a good movie?
Isn't it strange that you can't find a word to say when you're praying, but you have no trouble thinking what to talk about with a friend?
Isn't it strange how difficult and boring it is to read one chapter of the Bible/ Quran / Gita, but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a popular novel?
Isn't it strange how everyone wants front-row-tickets to concerts or games, but they do whatever is possible to sit at the las! t row in a holy place?
Isn't it strange how we need to know about an event for temple 2-3 weeks before the day so we can include it in our agenda, but we can adjust it for other events in the last minute?
Isn't it strange how difficult it is to learn a fact about God to share it with others, but how easy it is to learn, understand, extend and repeat gossip?
Isn't it strange how we believe everything that magazines and newspapers say, but we question the words in the Bible and other holy books?
Isn't it strange how everyone wants a place in heaven, but they don't want to believe, do, or say anything to get there?
Isn't it strange how we send jokes in e-mails and they are forwarded right away, but when we are going to send messages about God, we think about it twice before we share it with others?

SOME USEFUL TIPS FOR A BETTER HEALTH!!!
Drink at least 8 glasses of water every day.
Cut some beet root into small pieces and grind them. Squeeze juice from
beet root and massage to your face for 5 minutes. Shower after 10 minutes with
mild soap or gram flour.
Mix sandalwood powder with rose water and add 4 to 5 drops of milk in it
and apply on to your face and body. Shower after 15 minutes with warm
water.
Mix honey in water and drink daily in the morning to keep your skin shiny
and smooth.
Warm honey and mix with lemon juice and apply on to face. Wash after it
dry.
Mix Turmeric, sandal powder and olive oil and apply to body. Shower after
10 minutes.
Massage your skin with milk. Milk has moisturiser, it will keep your skin
smooth.
Use humidifiers and keep room temperature moderate to keep your skin away
from dryness.
Hot water blushes your skin and you don't feel fresh unless you have bath
with little cold water. If you have shower for a long-time, dead skin will
be automatically be removed. Do not rub with towel, be gentle on your skin.
Take food which contains more A and C vitamin.
Grate carrot and boil. Massage that mixture to body to get fair and
smooth skin.
For natural bleaching: - mix milk and lemon juice. The milk will break
as soon as you mix the lemon juice in it. Use that mixture to massage on your
body. It works as natural bleaching.
Mix turmeric and cream on the top of milk, massage that mixture to body.
If you go into sun your skin will lost the fair ness. To get your skin
colour to normal take equal quantities of cucumber juice and tomato juice
and apply on to skin. Shower after 10 minutes.
Massage mustard oil to your skin for 5 minutes and have shower with gram
flour or mild soap.
Mix cream on the top of milk and all-purpose flour and apply that paste
on to your skin avoid eyes, eyebrows and lips. Shower after 5 minutes. This
will make skin smooth.
Mix curds (yoghurt) with wheat flour and apply to your skin and take
shower after 5 minutes.
Grind rose petals and mix with cream on the top of milk and apply to
your body. Shower after 10 minutes.
Scaly skin is a result of fluorine deficiency. Fluorine is the anti-
resistant element of the human body, the absence of which creates problems
in the blood and spleen. Since cooking and heating foods destroys
fluorine, it is better to eat uncooked raw fruits and vegetables. Other
foods rich in fluorine are goat milk and cheese, rye flour, avocados, sea
plants and cabbage, cream whey and cottage cheese.
Wrinkle skin is a result of Sodium deficiency and makes skin sticky.
Cucumbers are ideal for combating and preventing sodium deficiency because
they are not only high in sodium, but also help in keeping the body cool,
a great summer's treat.
Skin rashes are the result of silicon deficiency. To avoid pus and
rashes, eat plenty of sprouts, alfalfa, barley, tomatoes, spinach, strawberries
and figs.
Skin eruptions are the result of Chlorophyll. And are found in wheat
grass and other green leafy vegetables

PANINI - GREAT SANSKRIT GRAMMARIAN
About PANINI
Born: about 520 BC in Shalatula (near Attock), now Pakistan.Died: about 460 BC in India.
Panini was born in Shalatula, a town near to Attock on the Indus River in present day Pakistan. The dates given for Panini are pure guesses. Experts give dates in the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th century BC and there is also no agreement among historians about the extent of the work, which he undertook. What is in little doubt is that, given the period in which he worked, he is one of the most innovative people in the whole development of knowledge. We will say a little more below about how historians have gone about trying to pinpoint the date when Panini lived.
Panini was a Sanskrit grammarian who gave a comprehensive and scientific theory of phonetics, phonology, and morphology. Sanskrit was the classical literary language of the Indian Hindus and Panini is considered the founder of the language and literature. It is interesting to note that the word "Sanskrit" means "complete" or "perfect" and it was thought of as the divine language, or language of the gods.
Following in the steps of the Brahmi alphabet makers, he became the most renowned of the grammarians. His work on Sanskrit, with its 4,168 rules, is outstanding for its highly systematic methods of analyzing and describing language.
The birth of linguistic science in Western Europe in the 19th century was due largely to the European discovery of Panini's Sanskrit grammar, making linguistics a science. The modern science of linguistics is the basis for producing alphabets for languages yet unwritten today.
Arguably, no grammarian has had as much influence over the grammar of any language as much as Panini has had over Sanskrit grammar and phonetics. Panini was a Vaishnav grammarian from approximately the 5th cent BC. The Ashtadhyayi was his magnum opus. The book completely standardized Sanskrit grammar and phonetics. Panini's grammar became widely accepted and is still the standard (a common way to classify ancient Sanskrit books is to classify them as Pre-Panini or Post-Panini).
However, Panini's stroke of brilliance lies in the fact that the grammar he wrote, in addition to being a descriptive grammar, is also a generative grammar. Panini used metarules, transformations, and recursion in such sophistication that his grammar has the computing power equivalent to a Turing machine. The Backus-Naur Form or BNF grammars used to describe modern programming languages have significant similarities with Panini's grammar rules. In applying his rules to Sanskrit verse he used such texts as the Hindu Shiva Sutras, thereby establishing principles of harmony and linguistic wholeness
[Sanskrit's] potential for scientific use was greatly enhanced as a result of the thorough systemization of its grammar by Panini. ... On the basis of just under 4000 sutras [rules expressed as aphorisms], he built virtually the whole structure of the Sanskrit language, whose general 'shape' hardly changed for the next two thousand years. ... An indirect consequence of Panini's efforts to increase the linguistic facility of Sanskrit soon became apparent in the character of scientific and mathematical literature. This may be brought out by comparing the grammar of Sanskrit with the geometry of Euclid - a particularly apposite comparison since, whereas mathematics grew out of philosophy in ancient Greece, it was ... partly an outcome of linguistic developments in India.
ASHTADYAYI
A treatise called Astadhyayi (or Astaka) is Panini's major work. It consists of eight chapters, each subdivided into quarter chapters. In this work Panini distinguishes between the language of sacred texts and the usual language of communication. Panini gives formal production rules and definitions to describe Sanskrit grammar. Starting with about 1700 basic elements like nouns, verbs, vowels, consonants he put them into classes. The construction of sentences, compound nouns etc. is explained as ordered rules operating on underlying structures in a manner similar to modern theory. In many ways Panini's constructions are similar to the way that a mathematical function is defined today.

Panini gives formal production rules and definitions to describe Sanskrit grammar. The construction of sentences, compound nouns etc. is explained as ordered rules operating on underlying structures in a manner similar to modern theory.
The Ashtadhyayi (Ashtādhyāyī, meaning "eight chapters") is the earliest known grammar of Sanskrit, and one of the first works on descriptive linguistics, generative linguistics, or linguistics altogether. It was composed roughly around 400 BC by the Indian grammarian Panini, and it describes the grammar of Sanskrit completely. Its mathematical structure has been compared to that of the Turing machine.
Panini's work had a phenomenal success, and later Indian grammarians were essentially reduced to the role of his commentators. His work is still used, or at least referred to, in the teaching of Sanskrit today. Today the formal languages of Computers are trying to study Ashtadhyayi from a computational linguistics point of view.
Panini's grammar consists of several parts, of which the Ashtadhyayi contains the morphological rules:
Shiva Sutras (phonology)
Ashtadhyayi (morphology)
Dhatupatha (lexicon of verbal roots)
Ganapatha (lists of classes of words)
The Ashtadhyayi consists of 3,959 sutrani or rules (Aphorisms), distributed among eight chapters, which are each subdivided into four sections or padas.
Being composed with the maximum conceivable brevity, this grammar describes the entire Sanskrit language in all the details of its structure, with a unity which has never been equaled elsewhere. It is at once the shortest and fullest grammar in the world. The grammar of Panini is a 'sabdanusasana,' or 'Treatise on Words', the cardinal principle of which is, that all nouns are derived from verbs, and because of this belief it was natural that the Sanskrit copula should also be categorized as a verb. It is tempting to speculate that maybe it was Panini's inclusion of the copula as a verb that influenced the Greek grammarians to wrongfully classify the 'be' word as a verb, but there is no evidence that the early Greek grammarians ever read the Sanskrit grammar of Panini, although there was communication between the Greek classical world and that of the Indian northwest, and some of the ancient Vedic scholars may well have been known to the Greeks and possibly vice versa.
There are ten scholars mentioned by Panini and we must assume from the context that these ten have all contributed to the study of Sanskrit grammar. This in itself, of course, indicates that Panini was not a solitary genius but, like Newton, had "stood on the shoulders of giants". Now Panini must have lived later than these ten but this is absolutely no help in providing dates since we have absolutely no knowledge of when any of these ten lived.
NATURE OF ASHTADYAYI
Panini's grammar is written in a sutra style. The term sutra means string or thread. It represents a particular type of style in Sanskrit literature.
The definition of sutra is follows:
alpaaksaram asandigdham shaasvad vishvatomukhamaStobham anavadyam ca sUtram sUtravido viduh //
It means that the scholars who know what a sutra is understand sutra to be holy, consisting of a few letters, containing clarity, having the essence, open on all sides, without ambiguity.
Panini's sutras are regarded as the most ideal illustration of the sutra style. However, the sutra style of the composition came into existence even before him. Many had composed their grammars in sutra style.
ECONOMY OF EXPRESSION.
Panini has made use of a number of devices to achieve economy of expression. It is because of these devices that Panini could compose the grammar of the Sanskrit Language, both Vedic and non-Vedic, only in 4000 rules. The technique of anuvrtti and adhikaara, the use of Anubandhas, the use of pratyaahaaras are some of the prominent devices employed by Panini to achieve brevity.
ASHTADYAYI - A DERIVATIONAL GRAMMAR.
Panini's work is devoted to the description of Sanskrit language. At the outset, it must be pointed out that, Panini's avowed goal was to provide an adequate descriptive grammar for Sanskrit and not to make a semantic analysis of the language. As a result, PaaNini focused only on deriving grammatically correct phrases and sentences, and not on the derivational process involving a number of syntactical, morphological and phonological operations. Thus, Panini's grammar is primarily a derivational grammar.
Panini reduced almost all the grammatical notions to the level of morphemes. For instance, from the Paninian point of view, concepts such as person, tense and case are nothing but a set of suffixes expressing these ideas.
PANINIAN APPROACH TO LINGUISTIC PHILOSOPHY IN ASHTADYAYI.
It is known that Panini's Ashtadhyayi is not philosophical in nature. However, this does not mean that it totally lacks the philosophical import. Panini's Ashtadhyayi is storehouse of linguistics theories. Though PaaNini did not write any theoretical treatise on language, his Ashtadhyayi uses and presupposes linguistic theories. Paninian sutras reveal that a strong and full-fledged system of linguistic concepts underlies them. Therefore, all the linguistic philosophers and grammarians like Patanjali, Katyaayna and Bhartrhari, et al. drew upon Paninian sutras and quoted them as proof for various kinds of linguistics theories and philosophical concepts.
For example, Patanjali, while discussing two-fold nature of the meaning as universal and particular, quotes Panini as authority behind his assumption. According to Patanjali, Panini has accepted views, Universal and particular, as the import of word. Panini's Sutra 'jaatyaakhyaamekasminbahuvacanamanyatarasyaam' is based on the assumption that the primary sense of word is universal. On the other hand, the sutra 'sarUpaaNaamekasheSa ekavibhaktau' is based on the view that the primary sense of it is the particular.
PANINI'S USE OF SEMANTIC ASPECTS.
Panini made use of semantic aspects in his grammar in three main ways. They are:
1. Panini used semantic concepts, i.e. vartamaana (present time), bahutva (plurality) as a starting point in his grammar to derive the corresponding phonological forms by a series of replacement rules.
2. As far as it was possible, he used semantic concepts for grouping words and stems to form class system (for example, varNa 'color words').
3. The shades of meaning were conveyed by the whole derived words (consisting of the root and suffixes or compound).
In addition, Panini utilized semantic markers to distinguish members of groups of semantically related words when this is required for the correct description of the data.
1. Domestic animals (pashu)
2. Tree (vrkSa)
3. Grain (dhaanya)
Thus, it can be said that Panini’s use of semantic aspects of the word was limited to the derivation of correct forms, and therefore can be called as secondary.
“Panini's grammar has been evaluated from various points of view. After all these different evaluations, we know that the grammar merits are asserting ... that, it is one of the greatest monuments of human intelligence.”

It means that the scholars who know what a sutra is understand sutra to be holy, consisting of a few letters, containing clarity, having the essence, open on all sides, without ambiguity.
Panini's sutras are regarded as the most ideal illustration of the sutra style. However, the sutra style of the composition came into existence even before him. Many had composed their grammars in sutra style.
ECONOMY OF EXPRESSION.
Panini has made use of a number of devices to achieve economy of expression. It is because of these devices that Panini could compose the grammar of the Sanskrit Language, both Vedic and non-Vedic, only in 4000 rules. The technique of anuvrtti and adhikaara, the use of Anubandhas, the use of pratyaahaaras are some of the prominent devices employed by Panini to achieve brevity.
ASHTADYAYI - A DERIVATIONAL GRAMMAR.
Panini's work is devoted to the description of Sanskrit language. At the outset, it must be pointed out that, Panini's avowed goal was to provide an adequate descriptive grammar for Sanskrit and not to make a semantic analysis of the language. As a result, PaaNini focused only on deriving grammatically correct phrases and sentences, and not on the derivational process involving a number of syntactical, morphological and phonological operations. Thus, Panini's grammar is primarily a derivational grammar.
Panini reduced almost all the grammatical notions to the level of morphemes. For instance, from the Paninian point of view, concepts such as person, tense and case are nothing but a set of suffixes expressing these ideas.
PANINIAN APPROACH TO LINGUISTIC PHILOSOPHY IN ASHTADYAYI.
It is known that Panini's Ashtadhyayi is not philosophical in nature. However, this does not mean that it totally lacks the philosophical import. Panini's Ashtadhyayi is storehouse of linguistics theories. Though PaaNini did not write any theoretical treatise on language, his Ashtadhyayi uses and presupposes linguistic theories. Paninian sutras reveal that a strong and full-fledged system of linguistic concepts underlies them. Therefore, all the linguistic philosophers and grammarians like Patanjali, Katyaayna and Bhartrhari, et al. drew upon Paninian sutras and quoted them as proof for various kinds of linguistics theories and philosophical concepts.
For example, Patanjali, while discussing two-fold nature of the meaning as universal and particular, quotes Panini as authority behind his assumption. According to Patanjali, Panini has accepted views, Universal and particular, as the import of word. Panini's Sutra 'jaatyaakhyaamekasminbahuvacanamanyatarasyaam' is based on the assumption that the primary sense of word is universal. On the other hand, the sutra 'sarUpaaNaamekasheSa ekavibhaktau' is based on the view that the primary sense of it is the particular.
PANINI'S USE OF SEMANTIC ASPECTS.
Panini made use of semantic aspects in his grammar in three main ways. They are:
1. Panini used semantic concepts, i.e. vartamaana (present time), bahutva (plurality) as a starting point in his grammar to derive the corresponding phonological forms by a series of replacement rules.
2. As far as it was possible, he used semantic concepts for grouping words and stems to form class system (for example, varNa 'color words').
3. The shades of meaning were conveyed by the whole derived words (consisting of the root and suffixes or compound).
In addition, Panini utilized semantic markers to distinguish members of groups of semantically related words when this is required for the correct description of the data.
1. Domestic animals (pashu)
2. Tree (vrkSa)
3. Grain (dhaanya)
Thus, it can be said that Panini’s use of semantic aspects of the word was limited to the derivation of correct forms, and therefore can be called as secondary.
“Panini's grammar has been evaluated from various points of view. After all these different evaluations, we know that the grammar merits are asserting ... that, it is one of the greatest monuments of human intelligence.”
DON’T DRINK COLA'S
Look at the wrapper on a Coca-Cola 1.5 liter bottle and the ingredients you will find phosphoric acid in it, minute quantities of ethylene glycol is also used (which is acknowledged in the soft drink world for making it “real chill”). This is popularly known as anti-freeze, which prevents water from freezing at 0oc and instead drops in by 4 to 5 degree with minuted quantities.
This chemical is a known slow poison in the caliber of arsenic. So if you manage to drink about 4 liters of Coca-Cola within an hour or so, you can die. Read along and give up these dangerous things. Be natural, and have flavored milks, tender-coconuts, buttermilk, lassi, and plain water instead of these cold drinks. Guess what’s the PH for soft drinks e.g. Coke? PH3, 4. This acidity is strong enough to dissolve teeth and bones.
Our human body stops building bone at the age of 30. Soft drinks do not have any nutrition value in terms of vitamin’s and minerals. It is high in sugar content, carbonic acid, chemicals etc., colorings etc.,
Some like to take cold soft drinks after each meal. Guess what’s impact? Our body needs an optimum temperature of 37oc or even close to 0oc. This will dilute the enzymes at stress the digestive system. The food taken will not be digested. In fact it will be fermented. The fermented food produces gases, decays and becomes toxin, gets absorbed by the intestine, circulates in the blood in the stream and is carried to the whole body. Hence toxin is accumulated in other parts of the body developing into various diseases.
Think before you drink coke/Pepsi or any soft drinks again. Have you ever thought what you drink, when you drink and aerated drinks? You gulp down carbon-di-oxide when nobody in the world advises you to drink co2.
Few months’ back there was a competition in the Delhi University “ who could the most coke?” the winner drank 8 bottles and fainted on the spot- too much co2 in the blood. Therefore the principal of that university banned all soft drinks from the college canteen.
Did you know that soft drinks use chemicals in them that cause immense harm to you? Some one put a broken tooth in a bottle of Pepsi and in 4 days it dissolved. Can you believe it? Teeth and bones are the only human parts that stay intact for years after death.
Imagine what the drink must be doing to your soft intestines and your stomach lining?

English Spoken in Christ College Campus
English a WORLD Language or more precisely a UNIVERSAL language is the highest used language in our campus. This language acts as a communication media or a link between teachers, students and staff belonging from various backgrounds, cultures, different diversities etc., As per recent survey conducted in the campus, reveals that English is most utilized language to express feelings among the individuals in and around the campus. Even our college has adopted the English as the medium for imparting lessons and knowledge.
This GenNext college i.e. CHRIST COLLEGE has it’s own style, attitude, preferred words and most importantly it has originality in it’s slang too, called “CHRISTITE’S LANG”, which itself is a very different entity prevailing in Bangalore.
Slang words are very frequently used while conversation between students. They pose ease for better communication and expressing their views and perspectives. Also, the foreign culture and accent has more influence in altering the words more than the meaning.
For e.g.: usage of HEY, instead of HI; BUDDY/DUDE instead of FRIEND; WAZZUP? Instead of HOW ARE YOU? and such.
These slang are surely nice to hear and nice to use, but definitely does not help in improving the dialect. And, moreover, these students have the most spectacular way of using a SINGLE WORD to express as many as feelings they can try to express. PHEW!!! Amazing…
Still, our mother tongue also has very important role administering on our dialect i.e. our accent and pronunciation. According to our college statistics department survey, it reports that 40 languages have been spoken in the campus. Students tend to use suffixes of their particular mother tongue, while speaking English.
For e.g.: Telugites use ‘RA’; Tamilians use ‘DA’ as suffixes for words in English.
And, the best influence and usage of their mother tongue in English language, are by the dominating community in ‘Krisht Kolllleege’…. and YES, you have guessed them right, the very famous “MALLLOOOO’S”. They altogether give a new life to English language, by pronouncing them in a very beautiful and superb accent.
I remember an incident, when my friends and me were having some snacks near the college kiosk; a malayalee friend of mine casually asked another “Hey Rajesh, do you wanna banj?” I was totally confused, as I didn’t understand that. Another friend said, “It’s not banj, but it’s PUNCH”. Having understood then, we all burst out in laughter. This habit of wrong pronunciation may result in embarrassment and inferiority complex too.
Back to the topic of Preferred words, where most of the students have a tendency to prefer those words, which have double meanings. This may be fun to them, but it will be the most disgusting words to hear for others in the TEMPLE of Learning.
Although, these variations and differences in English language in our college campus… Christ College still ‘ROCKS’.
