<p class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 200%; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><font size=3></font><font face="Times New Roman">3).Muster the courage to hold a girl by her hands,look into her eyes and then in the most romantic way say 'Kya tum mere bacchon ki maa banogi?'<o:p></o:p></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 200%; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><font size=3></font><font face="Times New Roman">4).More of smart work and even little hard work.<o:p></o:p></font></p>
