There was no existence of <BR>    mankind for miles and miles ahead. The wind was at rest, the leaves didn't <BR>    rustle and no resonance of a barking dog, silence filled the air. Loneliness <BR>    was already killing her, but no one knows what made her cry?</span></font></p><BR>    <p class="MsoNormal" align="center"><font size="4"> </font></p><BR>    <p class="MsoNormal" align="center"><font face="Comic Sans MS" size="4"><BR>    <span lang="EN-GB">Losing something you love with all your heart isn't <BR>    really the grief you can ever overcome. Radha lost her baby. Her only means <BR>    to live. She saw her child getting crushed under a car in front of her own <BR>    eyes. Blood was all over and the accident was terrible. One lonely night, <BR>    she was walking  down the street t get a breath of fresh air with her child <BR>    cuddled tight in her arms. She walked a long time s till she saw the face of <BR>    mankind (in the evilest form). </span></font></p><BR>    <p class="MsoNormal" align="center"><font size="4"> </font></p><BR>    <p class="MsoNormal" align="center"><font face="Comic Sans MS" size="4"><BR>    <span lang="EN-GB">The whole time she walked with her child in her arms the <BR>    only thing that worried her was Aryans (her son's) future.

She was imagining and feeling every day of the <BR>    Childs growth, and what she had in store for him. But who knows what's in <BR>    store for us tomorrow, life can change in the splits of a second. Talk about <BR>    destiny, all those dreams hopes and expectations were snatched away from her <BR>    in an instant. Her smiles were frowns and her faith just crumbled, like a <BR>    deal soul in a living, rather breathing body</span>.</font></p><BR>    <p class="MsoNormal" align="center"><font size="4"><BR> </font></p><BR>    <p class="MsoNormal" align="center"><font face="Comic Sans MS" size="4"><BR>    <span lang="EN-GB">This is how it happened..

There was this one light  that was <BR>    visible from a distance, but as it came closer it got brighter and brighter. <BR>    That light changed radha's life into darkness forever. A speeding car came <BR>    down that road, as if the driver had jammed the accelerator, cutting across <BR>    the wind. He came at a speek of 110kmph throwing beer bottles out of his <BR>    half open window. He was definitely drunk, the speed took everything in its <BR>    path.  Just then, there was a loud cry, and silence set in again. The cry of <BR>    a baby and no sight of a child. </span></font></p><BR>    <p class="MsoNormal" align="center"><font size="4"> </font></p><BR>    <p class="MsoNormal" align="center"><font face="Comic Sans MS" size="4"><BR>    <span lang="EN-GB">Ironically the mother wasn't hurt, not a scratch on a <BR>    body, not a bruise on her arm.

Just then <BR>    she noticed something about then feet away it was blood draining into the <BR>    gutter's, and pieces of minced flesh, laying there saying so much without <BR>    saying anything at all. <font color="#ff0000">The blood of her baby, the <BR>    child who hadn't even seen life, </font></span></font></p><BR>    <p class="MsoNormal" align="center"><BR>    <font color="#ff0000" face="Comic Sans MS" size="4"><BR>    <span lang="EN-GB">He paid the price for another man's folly.

STRESS</title><description><![CDATA[<h2><BR><center>LEARNING TO HANDLE STRESS</center></h2><BR><p><font size="4">Everybody experiences stress. A certain amount is even good for you. Too much <BR>stress can damage your physical, emotional, and mental health. Since it is not <BR>always possible to prevent stress, we all need to learn how to reduce it. Choose <BR>among the following techniques what you think will work best for you. Make them <BR>part of your everyday life. <BR></font></p><p><font size="4">1. <b>PREVENT IT</b>. How much stress do you cause just by putting <BR>unnecessary pressure on yourself? Do you over react to little things that annoy <BR>you? Every time you let anger or frustration take control, it drains away good <BR>energy and sidetracks you from more important things. Obviously, you can't <BR>always control what goes on around you, but you can control how you respond. Try <BR>a little more patience next time you get caught in traffic and you'll avoid <BR>unnecessary stress. <BR></font></p><p><font size="4">2. <b>SET GOALS</b>. Some people drift through life going from crisis to <BR>crisis letting stress build up. If you set goals, you can take better control of <BR>your life. Think where you'd like to be in 1 year or 5 years. Be realistic by <BR>starting with small, daily goals, then build up from there. Re-evaluate your <BR>goals from time to time and be prepared to adjust them as changes occur in your <BR>life. <BR></font></p><p><font size="4">3. <b>ESTABLISH PRIORITIES</b>. Do you often feel rushed because "there's no <BR>time"? Why not regulate the pace of your life? Plan ahead. Make a list of tasks <BR>in order of priority. Concentrate on what's really important to you and drop <BR>those things that only waste your energy. <BR></font></p><p><font size="4">4. <b>TAKE TIME OUT</b>. Spend a few minutes alone each day to break the <BR>routine. This helps ease stress and gives you a better perspective of what's <BR>around you. Set aside time during the week for recreation, hobbies, or exercise. <BR>Regular exercise is an excellent way to reduce stress. Physical fitness gives <BR>you a feeling of well-being by relieving tension and increasing productivity. <BR></font></p><p><font size="4">5. <b>HAVE FAITH</b>. Peace of mind comes to those who trust in God's power <BR>to lessen life's burdens through prayer. <BR></font></p><p><font size="4">6. <b>THINK POSITIVELY</b>. Having a positive attitude will help you assert <BR>yourself and feel more in control. You waste energy if you constantly criticize <BR>yourself or set unrealistic goals. Negative thoughts generally produce negative <BR>results. Instead of saying, "I can't," practice saying, "I can." You'll be <BR>surprised how much more you can accomplish. <BR></font></p><p><font size="4">7. <b>HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR</b>. Laughter can be one of the best medicines <BR>for stress.

A certain amount is even good for you. Too much <BR>stress can damage your physical, emotional, and mental health. Since it is not <BR>always possible to prevent stress, we all need to learn how to reduce it. Choose <BR>among the following techniques what you think will work best for you. Make them <BR>part of your everyday life. <BR></font></p><p><font size="4">1. <b>PREVENT IT</b>. How much stress do you cause just by putting <BR>unnecessary pressure on yourself? Do you over react to little things that annoy <BR>you? Every time you let anger or frustration take control, it drains away good <BR>energy and sidetracks you from more important things. Obviously, you can't <BR>always control what goes on around you, but you can control how you respond. Try <BR>a little more patience next time you get caught in traffic and you'll avoid <BR>unnecessary stress. <BR></font></p><p><font size="4">2. <b>SET GOALS</b>. Some people drift through life going from crisis to <BR>crisis letting stress build up. If you set goals, you can take better control of <BR>your life. Think where you'd like to be in 1 year or 5 years. Be realistic by <BR>starting with small, daily goals, then build up from there. Re-evaluate your <BR>goals from time to time and be prepared to adjust them as changes occur in your <BR>life. <BR></font></p><p><font size="4">3. <b>ESTABLISH PRIORITIES</b>. Do you often feel rushed because "there's no <BR>time"? Why not regulate the pace of your life? Plan ahead. Make a list of tasks <BR>in order of priority. Concentrate on what's really important to you and drop <BR>those things that only waste your energy. <BR></font></p><p><font size="4">4. <b>TAKE TIME OUT</b>. Spend a few minutes alone each day to break the <BR>routine. This helps ease stress and gives you a better perspective of what's <BR>around you. Set aside time during the week for recreation, hobbies, or exercise. <BR>Regular exercise is an excellent way to reduce stress. Physical fitness gives <BR>you a feeling of well-being by relieving tension and increasing productivity. <BR></font></p><p><font size="4">5. <b>HAVE FAITH</b>. Peace of mind comes to those who trust in God's power <BR>to lessen life's burdens through prayer. <BR></font></p><p><font size="4">6. <b>THINK POSITIVELY</b>. Having a positive attitude will help you assert <BR>yourself and feel more in control. You waste energy if you constantly criticize <BR>yourself or set unrealistic goals. Negative thoughts generally produce negative <BR>results. Instead of saying, "I can't," practice saying, "I can." You'll be <BR>surprised how much more you can accomplish. <BR></font></p><p><font size="4">7. <b>HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR</b>. Laughter can be one of the best medicines <BR>for stress. Being able to laugh at yourself and the world can break tension and <BR>give you some relief from stress. <BR></font></p><p><font size="4">8. <b>COMMUNICATE</b>. Suffering in silence only increases the stress you <BR>build up inside. Talk over your feelings and concerns with your family, a <BR>friend, counselor, preacher, or health professional. "Thinking out loud" like <BR>this not only relieves stress, but may also shed new light on your problems. <BR>Learn to listen and consider suggestions with an open mind. <BR></font></p><p><font size="4">9. <b>MAKE DECISIONS</b>.

Why wait when you have choices and could make a <BR>decision? When it's time to change old habits and move forward, make your own <BR>change for the better. <BR></font></p><font size="4">10. <b>GET SUPPORT</b>. Do you sometimes find problems too personal to <BR>discuss? Or feel they may be too much of a burden on others? Find a support <BR>group in your community. Remember, you're not alone. Other people with similar <BR>problems understand what you're going through without the need for lengthy <BR>explanations.
