You can use services like Google Docs (docs. google.com), DropBox (dropbox.com) and Windows Live SkyDrive (explore.live.com/skydrive).


The latter lets you store up to 25 GB of data for free, while DropBox provides a free account of 2 GB, which can be upgraded to 50 GB for $9.99 (Rs 560) a month.

The company collects the files from you and uploads the scanned versions that you can access. Whenever you need the original documents, they can send them to you within two to three days.

You can store your medical history on Yostechnologies.com and MyHealthRecords. in, which let you upload scanned paperwork. This lets you access the information any time and avoids wastage of money on duplicate tests if you misplace a report.

Dedicated to a Dad by a Daughter
 

14th of October, 2011.

Grand Finale of Pantaloons Femina Miss India (UP)
Moments to go before the 5 finalists are called out. The 12 contestants wait with baited breath as the emcee announces Top 5
Contestant No.2
Contestant No.3
Contestant No.4
Contestant No.5
Contestant No.12

The 5 finalists breathe a sigh of relief but it's now time for the deciding question.
One by one the esteemed judges put forward their tricky questions.
From why do you want to win this pageant to who would you like to go on a date with,From choosing between modelling and acting to deciding between success and riches, the finalists were put through all sorts of tests.
In between all these questions and answers, there was one that won a thousand hearts that evening.
"If it were the last day of your life, who would you spend it with, and why?" one of the judge posed the question to Contestant No. 4.
Contestant No.4: … a few moments of thought and then came the answer:

 
'A Father has a prime role to play in the life of his daughter. He is the first male that a girl comes across and hence, becomes the role model of her life. She sees the reflection of men in the rest of the world, through her dad and often perceives that all men should be like her father. Right from her childhood to adolescence to adulthood, he plays an influential role in her life.
He is the guide, the saviour, the protector, a friend and most importantly, the ultimate caretaker, who nourishes her in the loving and protective atmosphere set by him.
I have seen my daddy assuming multi-faceted role, which keeps changing with the changing phases of my life.
I would like to dedicate the last day of my life to my Father, and those 24 hours I would want to spend in his company.'

 
What followed was a thundering applause. The Emcee was amazed with the answer and the applause that followed. 'Is your lucky father around.' asked the Emcee.

'Yes, he is very much there' Contestant No 4 replied,
Emcee requested the lucky father to please stand up wherever he was. The proud father stood up and waved his hand. Thousands of eyes turned towards him, cameras and flashlights moved towards the proud father. And there was another round of great applause for him. He was touched. He was emotional. He folded his hands and thanked the crowd for the applause.   There were tears in his eyes. He had received the greatest gift of his life from his daughter.
This is a true story of love, affection and dedication of a Daughter towards her Dad demonstrated at MB Club, Lucknow.
You may like to forward this to those who understand & value the emotional bond of a Daughter and a Dad.



Regards,


Manish Thakkar .

Tips During an Emergency Situation

Everyone should take 5 minutes to read this. It may save your life or love one's life


-by a cop. Read Do not just delete it.

Please take note. This may have been circulated before but worth reading again. 
In an emergency situation....
This is for you, and for you to share with your wife, your children, everyone you know.
 
After reading these 9 crucial tips, forward them to someone you care about. It never hurts to be careful in this crazy world we live in. 
1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do :
The elbow is the strongest point on your body.
If you are close enough to use it, do! 
2.. Learned this from a tourist guide.
If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse,
DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM.
Toss it away from you....
Chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you, and he will go for the wallet/purse.
RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car,
kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole
and start waving like crazy..
The driver won't see you, but everybody else will.
This has saved lives.
4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit
(doing their chequebook, or making a list, etc.
DON'T DO THIS!)
The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go.
AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR ,
LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE. 

If someone 
is in the car with a gun to your head
DO NOT DRIVE OFF,
Repeat:
DO NOT DRIVE OFF!
Instead gun the engine and speed into anything, wrecking the car.
Your Air Bag will save you.
If the person is in the back seat
they will get the worst of it .
As soon as the car crashes
bail out and run.
It is better than having them find your body in a remote location.
5. A few notes about getting
into your car in a parking lot,
or parking garage:
A.) Be aware:
look around you, look into your car, at the passenger side floor and in the back seat
B.) If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door.
Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women
are attempting to get into their cars.
C.) Look at the car
parked on the driver's side of your vehicle, and the passenger side... If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out.
IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)
6. ALWAYS take the elevator
instead of the stairs.
Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot.
This is especially true at NIGHT!)
7. If the predator has a gun
and you are not under his control,
ALWAYS RUN!
The predator will only hit you (a running target)
4 in 100 times; and even then,
it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ.
RUN, Preferably in a zig -zag pattern!
8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic:
STOP
It may get you raped, or killed.
Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women.
He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked 'for help' into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted  his next victim.
9. Another Safety Point:
Someone just told me that her friend heard a crying baby on her porch the night before last, and she called the police because it was late and she thought it was weird.. The police told her
'Whatever you do, DO NOT
open the door..'
The lady then said that it sounded like the baby had crawled near a window, and she was worried that it would crawl to the street and get run over.
The policeman said, 'We already have a unit on the way, whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.'
He told her that they think a serial killer has a baby's cry recorded and uses it to coax women out of their homes thinking that someone dropped off a baby. He said they have not verified it, but have had several calls by women saying that they hear baby's cries outside their doors when they're home alone at night.

 
10. Water scam!
If you wake up in the middle
of the night to hear all your taps outside running or what you think is a burst pipe, DO NOT GO OUT TO INVESTIGATE! These people turn on all your outside taps full ball so that you will go out to investigate and then attack.

Stay alert, keep safe, and look out for your neighbours!
Please pass this on
This e-mail should probably be taken seriously because
the Crying Baby Theory was mentioned on America 's Most Wanted when they profiled the serial killer in Louisiana  

I'd like you
 to forward this to all the women you know.
It may save a life. A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle..
I was going to send this to the ladies only, but guys, if you love your mothers, wife, sisters, daughters, etc., you may want to pass it onto them, as well.

Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it's better to be safe than sorry.
