*Name first indian model (miss india) to have competed for miss world tytle?
ANS. INDRANI REHMAN

*Starting 1964, the pageant has been held by the Femina magazine, and is referred to as Femina Miss India. Prior to 1964, Miss India was selected by Eve's weekly in 1959, 1960, 1961 and 1962. In 1947 and 1952, the winners were chosen by the Indian press.

*Miss India has been participating in the Miss Universe pageant since 1952, starting with Indrani Rehman; and in the Miss World pageant since 1959, starting with Fleur Ezekiel. After the Femina Miss India pageant was established, the practice was to send the winner to the Miss Universe pageant and the runner-up to the Miss World contest. Usually a second-runner up or an independent pageant winner would be sent to international pageants like Miss Asia, Miss International and Miss Asia-Pacific.

*Starting from 1995, the practice of choosing a single winner or "Miss India" was changed to instead elect representatives to the different international pageants, and three winners, who receive equal prizes and status were chosen, and designated Miss India Universe, Miss India World and Miss India Asia-Pacific. As of 2002, the third winner would no longer be sent to Miss Asia-Pacific, but to the newly formed Miss Earth pageant.

*The awards for 1989 were given at the end of the year (December), hence there was no separate contest for 1990.

*The year 1994 was a landmark year for the pageant industry in India when both the Miss Universe and Miss World contests were won by Miss Indias Sushmita Sen and Aishwarya Rai respectively.

*In 2000 all the Miss India winners happened to win their respective international pageants - Lara Dutta (Miss Universe), Priyanka Chopra (Miss World) and Diya Mirza (Miss Asia-Pacific).

Gum Problem. Dont be late

I am Owais from Delhi. I drink  milk in 3 times a day since my childhood. since from 5 years,I were not aware of my Gum Problem. My Gums Bleed as I eat apple but I ignored it. Recently i went to the dentist and the dentist says that it is too late now. your gums has some serious problems. you should came earlier to prevent this problem. He explain me the 2 type of gum problems:gingivitis and periodontitis.

Gingivitis is a reversible condition where the gums become infected and inflamed as bacteria in plaque start to attack.It can be treated through proper cleaning and flossing, although antibiotics may be needed.
But periodontitis is a much more serious condition where the infection starts to destroy the ligaments and bone surrounding the tooth.Left untreated, the decay becomes so bad that teeth become loose and fall out.He said that i have periodontitis problem. I am shocked to hear this.

So my moral of the story is that if i have informed earlier to my family and visit to dentist then i am free from these gum problems. But now it is much late. So i suggest to everybody that If you have any problem in gums like bleeeding in gums or even small pain in gums then visit dentist immediately. Dont wait or dont try any home remedies.

How do you feel?

Two elderly gentlemen from a retirement  center were sitting on a bench under a tree when one turned to the other and said: "Slim, I'm 83 years old now and I'm just full of aches and pains.

I know you're about my age. How do you feel?"

Slim said, "I feel j ust like a newborn baby."

"Really? Like a newborn baby?"

"Yep. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants."

My Business Partner Siamak Alizadeh

A few months ago I ran across a book called "Techniques for Online Marketing" by Siamak Alizadeh, After I failed several times and searched months off and on trying searching for what was next online,then I found about his website. He is one of the best I have seen.

When it comes to the nature of network marketing business or affiliate marketing then you need to find a good business partner.

A good sponsor will hold nothing back. They will be willing to share all of the secrets of their success and be honest with you about the reality of making money in the business. Far too many people get involved with sponsors who are just trying to milk them for more money by selling them back end products and do not really care if they build their business or not. They just keep them going in circles and promising them success if they just keep sticking with it and buying more useless marketing material.

He always has in place an easy way for his or her downline to duplicate what they do. In any business you must have a marketing system setup to train your affiliates or downline members and make sure that they are up to date on all the latest and effective marketing strategies for the company. Someone who just sends you a welcome letter is not a good sponsor. In addition they must provide you with access to some kind of training website or blog where you can visit to learn how to get started.

As far as I know, Siamak Alizadeh has proven to be a trustworthy resource to people who want to make money legitimately online. I really like how Siamak helps you keep going and not give up in making money online. I have been his downline of 4life business and I'm thankful to be a part of his team.he provide a complete automated marketing system for his downline to make it easy duplicate his success.

I can get many information and tutorials in making money on line. I really love to work with this guy. It was an extremely positive impact on my income after when I start doing business with him.You can follow all his ways in making money on line.
 
If you had a chance working with him and participate in one of his programs,you will soon realize that he only works and promotes other online business models that he has investigated and works. He doesn't just give you a bunch of fluff because he profits by promoting others.

He's really trying to do his best to help people earning money and he is on my list as an outstanding professional, one of the best internet marketers.

Height of Innocence

A three-year-old walked up to a pregnant lady while waiting with his mother in the doctors office.

He inquisitively asked the lady, "Why is your stomach so big?"

She replied, "I'm having a baby."

With big eyes, he asked, "Is the baby in your stomach?"

She answered, "He sure is."

Then the little boy, with a puzzled look, asked, "Is it a good baby?"

She said, "Oh, yes. It's a real good baby."

With an even more surprised and shocked look, he asked,

"Then why did you eat him?"

* If you don't live at home, when your parents call, they ask if you've eaten, even if it's midnight.

Good Corn

Each year he entered his corn in the state fair where it won honour and prizes.

One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learnt something interesting about how he grew it.

The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors.

"How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?" the reporter asked.

"Why sir," said the farmer, "didn't you know? The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field.

If my neighbors grow inferior, sub-standard and poor quality corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn.

If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbours grow good corn."
  The farmer gave a superb insight into the connectedness of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbour's corn also improves.

So it is in other dimensions! Those who choose to be at harmony must help their neighbours and colleagues to be at peace,

those who choose to live well must help others to live well, for the value of a life is measured by the lives it touches.

And those who choose to be happy must help others to find happiness for the welfare of each is bound up with the welfare of all.

If we are to grow good quality corn, we must help our neighbors grow good quality corn too....

The Pregnant Blonde

The other day my blonde neighbor came running up to me in the driveway just jumping for joy! I didn't know why she was jumping for joy, but I thought, what the heck, and I starting jumping up and down along with her.

She said, "I have some really great news!"

I said, "Great. Tell me why you're so happy!"

She stopped jumping and, breathing heavily from all the jumping up and down, told me that she was pregnant!

I knew that she had been trying for a while so I told her,

"That's great! I couldn't be happier for you!"

Then she said, "There's more."

I asked, "What do you mean 'more'?"

She said, "Well, we are not having just one baby. We are going to have TWINS!"

Amazed at how she could know so soon after getting pregnant,

I asked her how she knew?

She said.... "Well, that was the easy part.

I went to Wal-Mart and they actually had a home pregnancy kit in a twin-pack.

Both tests came out positive!"
