Mayank Vats v24.0.1 Successful Release Day

The day started with the calls from my friends. Though I got some unexpected calls from unexpected numbers but still there were some of the calls I was expecting which were not there.I should say the day started on a low note. So the calls continued till 12:45 A.M. In the morning, I came to office and then my day started as it did every other day.
I owe it to Pranav Sir that the mail for my birthday was not made by me itself otherwise the plan was the other way round. So I got wishes from all the team members and we had a chat about partying. We went for the meager treat given by me in the afternoon. We spent some good time together.
Then we had the Dumb Charades and it was fun together. After Dumb-C, I went to watch the cricket match of India vs Sri Lanka. Sachin Tendulkar batted brilliantly. After India's innings,I cut the cake.Then I went home and then celebrated again at home. So this was how my 24th version was released successfully as everything I wanted happened during the day.

Ten Rules for Being Human

Hi All,
This is an article I read on Internet. Found it quite interesting. Read it yourself.


1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's yours to keep for the entire period.
2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, "life."
3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately "work."
4. Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.
5. Learning lessons does not end. There's no part of life that doesn't contain its lessons. If you're alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.
6. "There" is no better a place than "here." When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here."
7. Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.
8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
9. Your answers lie within you. The answers to life's questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
10. You will forget all this.
