Hi friends, we all wander in this life for ?
I think most of times, it is for living decently and keep ourselves happy whatever required to do so. However, how many times we realize or seek for the truth, that the internal happiness doesnot come from materialistic things. I am not saying money is not essential, it is to some extent but it doesnot provide everlasting eternal bliss which I believe everyone is after!!!
We most of times never try to look for truth behind life and the existence of every creature. Most of us rely on what is written in the books and no one knows their authenticity. I agree "absence of evidence doesnot mean evidence is absent". However, it may be adventerous to find out the truth behind this fascinating "Nature" and the very existence of so called "God". Somneone is there to care of Us in all thicks and thins is the assurance Everyone gets by believing in Him.
I saw this video, its wordings are really very nice and encourage us to find this truth.....

Buying a car in Australia - here are some suggestions by Dr. Ishaq M.
The information provided here is a guide only – recommended professional advice when purchasing a car.
• Use your head rather than your heart! We can all get swept away by our emotions but this could be detrimental when buying a second hand car
• Stick to your budget
• If you are considering buying an unregistered or interstate vehicle you need to check with your states motor authority as you may need to have an inspection prior to registration
• Test drive to make sure the car suits you – try arriving in the morning earlier than booked so that you can see how the car starts on a cold engine.
• Check all paperwork – make sure that rego numbers, VIN (you’ll find under the bonnet or at the base of the windscreen) and Engine numbers match
• Do a Rego check to make sure the vehicle is not stolen
• If you are buying a second hand car via private sale you need to check if there is any money owing on it – otherwise you could end up purchasing a car that could be repossessed. If this happens – you won’t get your money back – it’s the law. To avoid this happening to you do a REVS check. To find out more click here.
• Listen for rattles and knocks when driving
• Test all accessories – radio, CD, electric windows, windscreen wipers, blinkers and air conditioning. Most important s to test the brakes – both the foot pedal and handbrake. Make sure that you try stopping suddenly – making sure that the car stops fast and straight while feeling for the response on the brake pedal. Do a hill stop to make sure the handbrake holds the car
• When you come back from test drive check the oil filter. Take the cap off the oil filter and check for leaking grime. If you find gunk the cylinder head gasket’s failed and there’s water in the oil
• Check the oil level and the level of water in the radiator or expansion tank, and ensure the brake fluids up to the max mark. If the car’s got power steering, don’t forget to check that level too
• When test driving the car listen to the engine. If it sounds like it is revving higher than your speed the clutch could be on the way out – so you may need to factor having this replaced so try and get the price reduced
• Check for rust especially in the frame around the windscreen and roof edges. Take along a magnet and test on the frame. Check for rust under seats and under the car frame
• Check the tyres for wear and tear. You don’t want the added expense of having to purchase new tyres straight away. Don’t forget to check the spare tyre if the vehicle has one. To find out how old the tyres are look for the last 4 digits printed on the tyre surface. If the digits are 0903 - it means that the tyres were produced in the ninth week of 2003. It is not advisable to drive with tyres that are more than 6 years old due to loss of flexibility and moisture
• Check the vehicle kilometres. If possible see if the owner has any old Pink Slips and check the kilometres recorded. Tampering with the Odometer reading is not uncommon. Another thing to check is that all the odometer numbers align – if they don’t line up there is the chance of tampering
• Find out from the seller the parts that have been replaced and if there was anything noted for future inspection on the past rego inspection
• Compare the value of the car to similar age, condition and mileage models
• If you have children that are still in safety seats check that these will fit the model of car
• Check that the car comes with a jack and all the tools for changing a tyre
• Make sure you note down any faults or concerns you have with the car – and use this to negotiate on the price if you are still considering buying the car
• If you don’t have the skills to make a good judgement – spend some money and take the vehicle to a mechanic for an inspection. It might be money well spent and save you from buying a lemon

Happy New Year - New Year Resolutions!!
With the beginning of new year, most of us do one thing. No points for guessing, its indeed new year resolutions. However, how many of us do keep with that?, I believe only handful. Why?, do we loose our direction, focus, strength, will power or something else like faith in oneself or in that Almighty.
I think and believe its combination of all. How many of us introspect in the end of day regarding our actions and plans? When we don't do that we loose our path and ultimately the goal, as we have less plans and more distractions.So, why don't we gear up and make action plan for our success towards the goal.
Why not help atleast one person or stranger every day? If we do that we make our life and the world more beautiful place to live as our help will be reciprocated by someone else. And the eternal happiness and bliss one gets by helping others cannot be compared to all the combined wealth in the world. This will give us more energy and new outlook towards our life.
