Allahabad Librarian Archana's Column :
Archana:
Generation Next Motto:
Na hum shaadi karenge,
na apne bachchon ko karne denge.******
"U love sum1U marry sum1 else.
The one u marry becomes ur wife or husband.
And the one u loved becomes the password of Ur mail id"
******There's only 1 perfect child in the world & every mother has it.
There's only 1 perfect wife in the world & every neighbour has it.
******Three dreams of a man:To be as handsome as his mom thinks.
To be as rich as his child believes.
To have as many women as his wife suspects...
******Husband & wife are like liver and kidney.
Husband is liver & wife kidney.If liver fails, kidney fails. If kidney fails,
liver manages with other kidney.
******What's the diff b/w Dava & Daru?
Dava is like girlfriend, that comes with expiry date nDaru is like wife, Jitni purani hogi utna sir Chad ke bolegi.
******Wife ko Begum kyon kehte hain?
Kyonki shaadi ke baad saare gum to husband
ke hisse mein aate hain orWife Be-Gum ho jati hai.

I am going to introduce to our ILI community, Ms.Sandhya, the silent, shy and senior serials librarian shortly.!!
Dear Mr. Devrai,
Greetings and good wishes!
I am going to introduce to our ILI community, Ms. Sandhya, the silent, shy and senior serials librarian - shortly. Whole of last week we were busy with our co-ordinator from FAO.Pl. have a look at this link.
http://www.arboretum.org.in/
Do you personally know Mr. Prafulla Chandra who is in this project?I contacted him via e-mail and I got a response. Beyond this I don't want to disturb him now. I came to know about this when I mentioned to Srinivasachary, (another friend of mine who works in Manage) that I am interested only in growing a few trees and preach only that to people.Their tag line - ...at peace in the lap of nature ... gave me instant peace.I know that a single tree in our own garden gives more peace than 1000 trees in an arboretum. But we have to work - for money!!! Then is it better to work in an arboretum?I nurture one more `dream lifestyle' in the context of this arboretum. But after I hear more from you about this venture and people concerning it.
Thanks for your encouragement and support. Your ILI blog is encouraging and supporting many people like me.Waiting to hear more from you about this project,
Mrs.Sugunasri Maddala - Independent Information Consultant
