Don't know where else to put this, but this is quite important
Recently, the concept of "ICE" is catching up quickly. It is simple, yet an important method of contact during emergency situations. As cell phones are carried by majority of the population, all you need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who should be contacted at during emergency as "ICE " (meaning In Case of Emergency). The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when they went to the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn't know which numbers to call. He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name for this purpose. Following a disaster in London, the East Anglican Ambulance Service has launched a national "In case of Emergency (ICE)" campaign. In an emergency situation, Emergency Services personnel and hospital staff would then be able to quickly contact your next of kin, by simply dialing the number stored as "ICE". Please forward this. It won't take too many "forwards" before everybody will know about this. It really could save your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest. For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc. A great idea that will make a difference !
hmm...yeah..i received am email about the 'ICE' concept as well...
really useful for emergency purposes...

Anyways, 'jus came across more info. on Royal Rolls:
A 1933 Rolls-Royce that belonged to Maharani Sethu Parvati Bai of Travancore had a small stool on the floor. On it sat a dwarf who massaged the queen’s legs during the rides in the car, while he remained invisible to onlookers. Show-off. :roll:
Other Royal automobiles catered to any and every other whim, from special “Purdah” models that had drapes to hide modest Maharanis, to the Rolls Royce Phantom II that was created in a shade of pink that the Maharaja of Jamnagar wanted, for which he sent Rolls-Royce his wife's pink slipper to obtain the exact shade, to the 24-carat gold-plated appointments and solid silver door handles of the Maharaja of Baroda’s 1927 RR Phantom I!
However, on a separate note, IMHO the retaliation given to Rolls-Royce from the M'rajahs was justified.....considering the ego tat the co. wud've had towards Indians, even if the latter wer from royalty ('how cud we sell our cars to our slaves'!) :D
And it isnt limited to Maharajahs/our country either.....ther is a story (not sure how long ago) abt a chinese businessman taking a brand new mercedes onto the middle of a main shopping area and then smashing it with a sledge hammer to prove that the germans are not giving them due customer satisfaction! :shock:
If you take eg.s such as the one above & the numerous maharajas, you can see a trend - the nose up in the air Europeans feel the asians lack (wat they define as) culture and cannot afford things......and we asians desperatly seek recognition by the westerners to feel that we have arrived!
These acts point towards it. If you see the trend these days of people travelling - the biggest spenders in most parts of the world are Indians - especially in places such as Sing., Switzerland (and other places where bollywood movies have been shot :wink:).
The ego of westerners cannot seem to get them to figure out that the asians are making more money than them and if you have it flaunt it! The way asians flaunt it is very different from the way the westerners do, and this leads to the dilemma (we want the Asians money through tourism, but we cannot stand their attitude, nor culture etc.!)
The wheel now begins to turn & the Asians r economically on the rise. Soon it'd be sumbody else's turn! :)
There is ofcourse the attitude of Arabs & in most cases, Westerners - I can buy u, u come & work for me. This really turns them off - classic example - the way Sunil Mittal is treated when he is trying to acquire a french national icon. The arabs have bought british national icons - the "marks and spencers" etc. I wonder therefore- when will Indian auto manufacturers have the muscle power to go buy a firm like FIAT/GM/Ford! Indians control the worlds long distance telephone network (between VSNL and Reliance), they are getting there in the area of software services.....slowly and steadily!
:shock: YIKES!! That is sick-o!!!! :argh: :banghead: :roll:Quote:
