Back in 80's, computers to be used, dominated by the Unix operating system. It was just the good-old Command Line Interface or CLI mode which was available.Time changed, came 1995, Microsoft presened Windows-95 and BOOM! It changed the way forever for generations for using computers.Instead of that boring , dark and dull, black and white, CLI, we became addicted to new,easy to use than ever,nice colored,menu-drive GUI or Graphic User Interface for forever.Not a bad thing in anyways.Dont get me wrong alrite :-)!.   We have Windows now almost everywhere. More than 90% of word's desktops and nearly the same number of notebooks are dominated by the Windows operating system. By the time, there are some other players too in the market which boast of the same capability which Windows has but lets not get into that arguement over here now. There are no-doubt millions of users who like GUI interface than anything else but still there are some who still like to type a

After quiet a while there is some good music out there in movies.Normally its not very common that motion picture tracks are upto that quality in the terms of melody,lyrics.But recently, Fanaa proved to be a very good album.There are so many movie tracks which get released every year but very few are able to grab some sort of attention.Here are 3 which I liked.My take on all these is:   Ahista Ahista Being a Punjabi, Sufi music is something which I always liked and loved.Its so much difficult to sing Sufiana music.Oh I am sorry Sufi is an Urdu word. Sufiana music is the music which is devoted to God.So its so much deep from every aspect of music,be it singing,music,lyrics. Ahista Ahista's music director ,Himesh Reshamiya tried to create the same sort of music with this motion picture.No harm in being creative,but being too much confident on yourself sometimes fails to create that impact which it has.Sufiana mus

If you blog than you must be having an idea atleast about Bloglines . Its one of the most favorite tools available for keeping you updated when there is any new entry in that blog.If you havnt checked it yet, do give it a try and see what you were missing!   I found something quite useful and informative for the effective use of bloglines and FireFox.It is titled as Ten Bloglines Hacks . Give it a read. I am sure you will find one thing or two for sure to be worth spending your time when reading it.Happy reading and Happy blogging. PS: Dont forget to take a backup of your blog. Why? Read this.

There is always that one doesn't know about something and than somehow he/she is introduced to it and he/she finds himself/herself completely hooked to it.  It happens to most of us on so many times.  Same happened with me too before I started even reading blogs,forget about writing my own.   I had heard about this concept called, Blogging for so long and so many times but I never bothered to check what exactly it was all about and what one has to do with it.  Ok you can call me whatever you like but that's the truth.  So despite having an idea about this bloging concept,I still was an alien to it for quite a time.   Then,one fine day,Tom Kyte introduced his blog  in addition to AskTom.oracle.com .This blog was supposed to be at a place for him for sharing and discussing things/matters/experiences which were mostly non-technical and the content was way more light and cool as compared to AskTom.Well I started reading it and I even dnt know when I got completely hooked from it. 

Yesterday when I tried to read Doug Burns blog,I was shocked to see that the link didnt take me to his blog but to some other blog which had no entry in it and it of some unknown person.I tried to figure out for one minute what it was.Well I couldnt find out anything.Then on Tom Kyte's blog,I found that Doug Burn's blog was kidnapped .Needless to say that I was shocked to see that.Doug has shifted his blog to here and luckily for all of us,he took the backup of the entire earlier blog so his new blog has all the old enteries with the comments too.But it provoked a question,"What if the same happens to me?".   In internet world,its not a big thing to happen.It happens and doesnt matter how much one tries,one have to accept that we have no apparent control over it.All we can do is to be take precautions and as we say in our Database world,take a backup of all the data which is important for us.That backup must be capable enough to put us back on the track in the case of

While stumbling upon internet once,I came across this.These are some hidden facts which gals dnt know about gals.There are alot of shades in guys and they can be equally complex if not more when compared with the gals.I found it really interesting so thought would share with you all.The source is not working anymore so I am putting up everything right here.Have a read:   Guys don’t actually look after good-looking girls. They prefer neat and presentable girls.   Guys hate flirts. A guy can like you for a minute, and then forget you afterwards. When a guy says he doesn’t understand you, it simply means you’re not thinking the way he is. “Are you doing something?” or “Have you eaten already?” are the first usual questions a guy asks   on the phone just to get out from stammering. Guys may be flirting around all day but before they go to sleep, they always think about the girl they truly care about. When a guy really likes you, he’ll disregard all you

When I started learning and using computers, as like all the newbies, I too started with Windows. Than it was the Internet which came into existence great invention which revolutionized the technology world. With the invention of Internet, there came the browsers with Netscape being the first one. With that there came "war of browsers" with Microsoft fighting with its browser, Internet Explorer with Netscape to grab the biggest bite. Needless to say, Microsoft did win and its Internet Explorer being the most popular browser.   IE did win the top spot but it always lacked in some of the most important aspects, with Security being on the top. With the enhancement of technology and with more and more techno savvy guys coming in and exploring more deeper layers,IE became the most favourite pathway for the hackers. There was an immediate need for something which could give a better option and if not replace, give a choice between Internet Explorer. Well, Firefox came just in time

In an  earlier blog   of mine, I told you about my friend Raman and Shuchi who got married.It was a love marriage and more over an inter-caste one.It was great to see that the couple stood with each other and made everything possible.They didnt let caste-creed come in between their love and fulfilled the promise that they gave to each other.   On this Sunday, we organzied the Reception party for them.It was organized at Casala Le Baron Palace here in Ludhiana.It was great.With about 1000+ guests including all of the relatives,nears and dears of Raman,all of the friends it was a memorable night.We all had a great time and enjoyed the company of the friends,met some whom we couldnt meet in the recent times,thanx to our busy daily lives.Everything went so very well.We got back at about 2am,tired but with a feeling of satisfaction and with best wishes for the newly wed couple for the success and happiness in this new phase of life.  

There are a couple of times when there is a need to remotely control the servers,machines or even home pcs too.There are a couple of options available with VNC,NetMeeting etc. etc. but they all comes with a price that one has to download,install and configure their respective binaries to complete the installation and finally make it to work.Well its not complicated but still there are issues with different binaries for different platforms and then their installation instructions and all that or its me being lazy :-). For all these issues,here is one remote desktop assistant which requires nothing like above mentioned.Its LogMeIn , a complete web based,remote desktop control service with features including File Sharing,Backups and lots more.There are options to chose between Pro version or Free version.You can chose the former if you require all the features or stick with a Free version if you just need the remote desktop control.All you need to do is to create an account on the website

Link To Part-I      Link To Part-III When one is in Love,in a relation,there is an utmost desire to do something for his/her love.  To make him/her feel special,to make him/her feel that she/he is the only one for whom we are living for.  To show how much we love him/her and how much he/she matters to us,mean to our heart?Every  breath that we are taking,every heartbeat which is coming,is coming with his/her name.  In our very existence,that person lies within.  In every corner of the world,there have born great lovers who have created stories of love and sacrifice which have set milestones  for people of next generations.  So much,sometimes it feels amazing and surprising,sometimes it occurs weird to some that why there is a need to do anything like this for some human?Why there is a need to give him/her the place of God?But it can be understood only by those who have ever loved someone or have been loved.  There are no words which can describe that feeling of contentment,that satisfa

Link To Part-II Distance in love is something which is so much painful,so much hurting.  It can only be imagined and felt by those who have to suffer the punishment of staying alone from their loved ones.  Long Distance love is therefore termed as not so much successful coz the couple feels that something is missing somewhere.  I do agree that its very important for the couple to stay together and be there for each other but I feel at the same time,love is something which is not so much weak.  If such a minor reason can fade away your love than you must seriously reconsider that  are you really in Love?  Distance hurts but the strength that love gives is so much more strong than that.  Distance is not painful because there is a hope,there is always a wish that one day you two are going to be together.  Those who are in love and have to stay apart from their loved ones,just remember that this is your strength and trust on your love which is being tested at this moment of time.  Have fai

My younger sister is a trained beautician and skin and make-up expert!Her company organized a "Best Employee and Technician" award ceremony this Monday.  It was organized to honor the best person and technician in the company whose efforts and dedication outstand the rest all.Sis is with this company from just few years.  Despite her being still a junior,she managed to beat all the others and grabbed this award for her constant excellent record.  With this she has proved that there is nothing like a senior or a junior in an organization.  What matters the most and is required for one to outshine and get noticed is hard-work,dedication and a deep interest in that job which you are doing.  Needless to mention that I am really glad and proud on her!I just hope  and wish that she manages to get this award each and every year,proving that she is the "Best among the BESTS"!Congrats sis!

I watched Shrek 2  yesterday.  I saw the first part about an year ago.  In one word,EXCELLENT!Story line,characterization,animation,everything was great.  I really like cartoons and cartoon flicks.  There are not many good movies which came out and managed to be this much successful.  This movie is a must watch if you are like me who watch cartoons and enjoy them.  Story is carried ahead from the last movie where our hero,Shrek now has to met with his wife,Princess Fiona's parents which leads to problems,disagreements between him and Fiona's parents coz he is an ogre and no one wants an ogre for their daughters!How Shrek take it as a challenge and does what any real lover will do to be the best person for their loved ones,to make them smile and get their undivided love!Really a very nice plot!Spare some time to have a sneak peak of the movie.  I am sure you will like it.

Just added 2 new pictures on my tripod web-site.They are taken by a very good friend of mine,Raghbir Mangat.Have a look:   "My Pictures" on my Tripod web-site .    

In one of my last blogs,I talked about one of my friend who and his beloved.Both were very keen to get married.Everything was going fine but somehow things got a bit shaky.Well,after a little help from all of us,finally they got married on this Wednesday.My heartiest wishes to Both Raman and Shuchi.Reception is supposed to be in the next week.I shall post the pictures later.A great feeling is there that both stood for each other in such a severe and difficult time and didnt leave each other alone.I have seen most of the people leaving their loved ones alone and backing off in these kind of times (and sometimes way before when nothing has happened even),leaving their love to suffer alone.But I am glad that Raman and his girl didnt do this and set a great example.My best wishes and heartiest congrats to both of them and their families.

I have added a new pictures page and uploaded some of my newest pictures on my tripod website .Have a look and let me know your comments....   "My Pictures" on my Tripod website  

Blue Baby is back again.... If you are a regular reader or a visitor over here than you must have seen some of the changes in the profile settings of mine.                            So you didnt notice? [Heart cracking sound!]   Well,my profile picture has been changed for couple of times now and if I remember correctly,this is the 3rd and I hope last time,its changed again.Earlier it was something else but the Blue Baby is back again with his smile and shine in his eyes.Its going to be here now and everywhere else where I move around on this virtual world of Internet.   Shocking Make-Over!!! Those of you who have seen me from some good old time,for them its going to be a big suprise,shock.I have done some make-over recently on the suggestion of my younger sister who is a trained beautician and skin specilalist.I can just say that I am really impressed,let's see what you say.Have a look:    

It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words.Its certainly true.I am not having a very good "photogenic" face and neither do I like to have too many snaps of mine.The biggest problem with me is that I forgot where did I store once I either scan them or get them from my mobile.If you are like me than you can definitely understand how much difficult it can be when you have to locate a picture of yours but you cant seem to find it anywhere.   So let me introduce to you Picasa , I must say that Google has really done a very good job with it.This tool scans your whole machine and finds out all the pictures of all the extensions.After finding them,it arranges all those pictures in their respective folders whose names are based on the creation date of the pictures.   In addition of scanning and arranging your pictures for you,Picasa does a whole lot more stuff.You can give numerous effects to your snaps,blog them directly on your BlogSpot blog,make a slideshow of all the pict

I saw Kung Fu Hustle today.This movie is starring Stephen Chow in the lead role as well as the director and producer of the movie with Lam Tze Chung, Yuen Wah, Yuen Qiu, Chan Kwok Kwan. KungFu Hustle is one of those Martial Arts movies which tell you about that ancient and hidden kung Fu techniques which you have neither heard nor ever seen before. No doubt,the movie is filled with very  ferocious action scenes with fighters flying around and punches making holes in the floors and walls but the fight choregraphy and the wire action sequences are done brilliantly by Yuen Wo Ping and Sammo Hung. The movie has a nice but small romantic touch of the hero Stephen with a mute gal which is his childhood friend but was lost. The main villain is the  Beast (Leung Siu Lung) which  kills peopple just to find out if they are better than him or not?Very strong and very cruel! Background music score is nice and sweet.Movie doesnt bore you like some action movies do.There is an artistic touch in ever
