But the best and most importaint types of ships are friendships.

Some of the pictures sent by ~Ratnakumar~

He writes.....
Most of the photographs were taken at Hotel Yatrik, Allahabad. I invited a few oldies for dinner.
The people in the photographs are: Dr A.C Broadway, Arif Broadway (Dairy Tech), Mr J.P.Singh (Horticulture), Mr Philip Jacob (Agronomy), Dr. Emmanual (Ag Engineering), Mr Barker (Administration). The other photograph is of Suklal (Laundryman).
I did not take many photos at the Institute because most of them are new staff. I was very unluckly because I landed at Allahabad during December vacation time.

Few thoughts for 1999....
*A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops.
On my desk I have a work station...
*If quitters never win, and winners never quit, what fool came up with, "Quit while you're ahead"?
* Do Lipton employees take coffee breaks?
*What hair color do they put on the driver's licenses of bald men?
* I thought about how mothers feed their babies with little tiny spoons and forks,
so I wonder what Chinese mothers use, toothpicks?
*How much deeper would oceans be if sponges didn't live there?
*If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the OTHERS here for?
*If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
*Ever wonder what the speed of lightning would be if it didn't zigzag?
*If a person with multiple personalities threatens suicide, is that considered a hostage situation?
*So what's the speed of dark?
*If you're sending someone some Styrofoam, what do you pack it in?
*Why do they sterilize needles for lethal injections?
*Isn't Disney World a people trap operated by a mouse?
*Since light travels faster than sound, isn't that why some people appear bright until you hear them speak?
*How come abbreviated is such a long word?

Ten Commandments Of

* Thou shalt include a clear and specific subject line.

* Thou shalt not forward any chain letter.
* Thou shalt not use e-mail for any illegal or unethical purpose.
* Thou shalt not rely on the privacy of e-mail, especially from work.
* When in doubt, save thy message overnight and reread it in the light of dawn.
And, here's the "Golden Rule" of E-Mail:
* That which thou findest hateful to receive, sendest thou not unto others!
