The World’s First All-glass Undersea Restaurant Opens

15th April marks the day that the first ever all-glass undersea restaurant in the world opens its doors for business at the Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa. It will sit five meters below the waves of the Indian Ocean, surrounded by a vibrant coral reef and encased in clear acrylic offering diners 270-degrees of panoramic underwater views.

"We have used aquarium technology to put diners face-to-face with the stunning underwater environment of the Maldives", says Carsten Schieck, General Manager of Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa. "Our guests always comment on being blown aw ay by the colour, clarity, and beauty of the underwater world in the Maldives, so it seemed the perfect idea to build a restaurant where diners can experience fine cuisine and take time to enjoy the views – without ever getting their feet wet."

Created by MJ Murphy Ltd, a design consultancy based in  New Zealand, Ithaa’s distinctive feature is the use of curved transparent acrylic walls and roof, similar to those used in aquarium attractions. "The fact that the entire restaurant except for the floor is made of clear ac rylic makes this unique in the world," continues Schieck, "We are currently planting a coral garden on the reef to add to  the spectacular views of the rays, sharks and many colorful fish that live around the area.

These are the rules!
Please note.. These are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!

1.   Men are NOT mind readers.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want.
Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That’s what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a Problem. See a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.

1. If you won’t dress like the Victoria ‘s Secret girls, don’t Expect us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If you think you’re fat, you probably are. Don’t ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the   other one

1. You can either ask us to do something Or tell us how you want it done. Not both.

1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing’s wrong.
We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don’t want an answer to, Expect an answer you don’t want to hear.

Lessons on Life (The Story)

There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge  things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look  at a pear tree that was a great distance away.

The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in
summer, and the youngest son in the fall.

When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen.

The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son said no it was covered with green buds and full of  promise.

The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen.

The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping
with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they  had each seen but only one season in the tree’s life. He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season,  and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and love that come  from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons  are up.

If you give up when it’s winter, you will miss the promise of your spring,
the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall.

Moral:
Don’t let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.
Don’t  judge life by one difficult season.
Persevere through the difficult patches
and better times are sure to come some time or later.

Practice makes perfect…..
But nobody’s perfect……
so why practice?

Save water.
Shower with your girl friend.

The wise never marry.
and when they marry they become otherwise.

I was born intelligent
education ruined me.

A bus station is where a bus stops.
A train station is where train stops.
On my desk, I have a work station….
what more can I say……….

If it’s true that we are here to help others,
then, what exactly are the others here for?

Since light travels faster than sound,
people appear bright until you hear them speak.

How come "abbreviated" is such a long word ?

Money is not everything.
There’s Mastercard & Visa.

One should lo ve animals.
They are so tasty.

Love thy neighbor.
But don’t get caught.

Every man should marry.
After all, happiness is not the only thing in life.

Success is a relative term.
It brings so many relatives.

Love is photogenic
It needs darkness to develop

Children in backseats cause accidents
Accidents in backseats cause children

"Your future depends on your dreams"
So go to sleep

There should be a better way to start a day
than waking up every morning

"Hard work never killed anybody"
But why take the risk !

"Work fascinates me"
I can look at it for hours !

God made relatives;
Thank God we can choose our friends.

When two’s company , three’s the result !

The more you learn, the more you know,
The more you know, the more you forget
The more you forget, the less you know
So.. why learn

Here is a very interesting article by Mr. Sam Pitroda, Chairman and CEO of WorldTel. The article is a bit lengthy but a ‘Must’ read for all Indians.

(One Indian = 10 Japanese, 10 Indians = One Japanese)

Lack of teamwork and co-operation is one of the most serious problems affecting progress in all areas of India and wherever Indians work worldwide. The key problem in India is always implementation, not lack of policies. We have great policies and ideas about how to do things, but severely lacking teamwork.

When the Japanese came to work in India to develop the Maruti Suzuki car, a joke went around that one Indian was equal to 10 Japanese: Indians were very smart, capable and dedicated individuals. But 10 Indians were equal to one Japanese.

Indians lacked team spirit and co-operation… Continue Reading
