Good Story

Once upon a time there were 2 brothers who lived on the 80th floor of a tall building.
On coming home one day they realized, to their dismay, that the lifts were not working and that they would have to climb the stairs home.
After struggling to the 20th level, panting and tired, they decided to abandon their bags and come back for them the next day.

They left their bags then and climbed on . . .

By the time they had struggled to the 40th level, they had gone sufficiently mad and were irritated.

The younger brother started to grumble and both of them began to quarrel.

They continued to climb the flights of steps, quarreling all the way to the 60th floor.

They then realized that they had only 20 levels more to climb and decided to stop quarreling and continue climbing in peace.

They silently climbed on and reached their home at long last! Each stood calmly before the door and waited for the other to open the door.

They then realized that the key was in their bags, which were left on the 20th floor...

This story is a reflection on our life and times.

All of us climb the tall building called career . . . some till the 80th floor and some less.

But do we know that the key to happiness is in the bag, which has been left back on the 20th floor?

Know your dreams and follow it so that you will not live with regrets . . .

If the chariot of your life is driven by the steeds of ambition, make sure the reins of your life are held by the hands of joy.

We are the heroes of our own story . . .

BoredGuru.com : Copy / Read Scratched CDs

BoredGuru.com : Copy / Read Scratched CDs

We always face a poblem to recover data from scratched CD's. While copying CD's to harddisk it aborts the copying process.

This program is great for recovering files from scratched CD's or defective floppy/hard disks. Normally when your computer is unable to copy a file from a damaged disk it will abort and delete the portition of the file it has copied. This program however will continue to copy the file right to the end. Any data that is not recoverable after many retries is replaced with blanks. This will allow you to truely recover every byte of information that is available for recovery. The program allows you to specify a single file, a group using wildcards (* and ?) or if you wish, select a starting folder and the program will copy all data from it and any sub folders it may contain. This program doesnt just need to be used for copying files form defective disks, it can be used to transfer any files!

Excuses and results

In life we have either excuses - or we have results.

It seems that some people are here just to teach us that ...

* Roger Crawford was born with one leg and two arms, but no hands.
What does he do? He's a professional tennis player. That is, he earned
professional status and he makes his living playing and coaching tennis.

* Digital Dan, of Ferndale, California was a carpenter until he got
cancer of the throat and had his voice box removed. When he could no
longer speak, he became a disc jockey!

* Dan types his words into a laptop computer, and the laptop does
the talking!

How often do we say ... "I'm too old, too tired, too lazy, too busy...
it's too hard!" People like Roger and Dan remind us that
our excuses are mostly pathetic!
Take any goal you want to achieve ... a university degree, an apartment
of your own, a happy marriage, a flat stomach ... and
you'll find a hundred reasons why it is inconvenient or impossible. But
all you need is ONE really good reason why you want something! Then you
go and get it!

When you want something enough, you find a way.

In a nut shell Success is not about "the facts".
It's about your attitude.

Wishing you success in your life...

Let's learn from Arjuna

Lore has it that Dronacharya, the guru of the Pandava clan, feared the tribal Ekalavya would one day defeat his favourite student, Arjuna. The wily guru circumvented Ekalavya’s pleas to become his student, by asking for his thumb as guru dakshina.


If you look back on this incident, do you really think Ekalavya would have defeated Arjuna, even with his thumb intact? Possibly not.

Before you flame me, let me set out my reasons: Arjuna was a warrior—he was taught to overcome opponents with numerous devices, including swords, sorcery, and fist fights. Quite like the way many of us showcase all those technologies we work with—software, hardware, quality assurance and so on.

Ekalavya—as far as we know—knew only archery and that too against one target, the dog. Arjuna thought like what he was groomed to be—a ruler. He would have foreseen potential pitfalls in a clash with a lone, wild tribal prince, and would have planned well in handling the meeting—if at all it had come to that.

He was part of a large network—gurus, four other brothers, a shrewd mother, a thoughtful wife, other councillors and royal princes, all of whom would have opened up a vista of plans.

Now, tell me, would have Ekalavya won?

What does this have to do with us? Today, technology has rendered us Ekalavyas—hard core technology people who work in lone cubicles on pieces of projects: quite like the tribal prince who knew only how to shoot arrows at a single target.

Job markets in the technology world have taken on some unique cycles—you are flooded with offers when the market is on a roll, or are laid off without even a goodbye, when the market is down.
When you are in a market high, how do you choose a perfect fit?

Or when you are laid off, how do you get back to equilibrium?

Let us learn from Arjuna. What did he have on his side?

Learning: He was an artful warrior and kind ruler, with a host of skills finely honed to perfection, and years of grounding in arthashastra—the art of ruling.

Leverage: He was constantly using his network of contacts in finding out what happened in his kingdom—trends, people’s moods, thefts and murders. He was in the know of things to paint the big picture.

Leadership: He was always taking on the initiative to do things—acting messenger for his brother, winning contests...At any instance of hardship, Arjuna offered to take on responsibility.

How can you apply these to your daily job in the technology world?
Simple. Open your ears, close your mouth, and think deeply.

Learn: When you are on a project, spend an hour with the team in learning what the rest are working on, speak to your manager and learn what the project has to do with the company, the customer, the business, the market.

Get the big picture. You will immediately know what this project is a trend for, and can plan to learn new skills. If you plan to learn a new tool or software simply because your neighbour got a job in that field, you may not get very far.

Leverage: When you are stuck in a project, you think it is your duty to solve it all by yourself. Wrong!

If you have spent sufficient time in building your network of people (not technology!), all you need to do is throw this problem onto a network and wait for solutions to come pouring in. Ignore this free education, and you are shutting yourself in Ekalavya’s forests.

But if you can return this by contributing towards solving someone else’s problem, you have won a name for life.

Lead: The normal career path in any large firm seems to be like this—code for four years, become a senior coder, code some more, become an expert, then a project lead, and finally a project manager.

It is almost routine, and you are disappointed when your next cubicle occupant has become an expert in three years, whereas you haven’t. Promotions are a sign of leadership—unless you are already acting like an expert, don’t expect to become one or be granted such a position.

Find out opportunities within your project where you can show your style of expertise—which in turn demands that you have learnt quite well about this project and can leverage all resources to lead the team to solve a problem.
MBA degrees, skill sets, technologies all matter. However, in the long run, what matters is what you bring to the table—your learning abilities, your leveraging abilities, and your leadership abilities.


Technology serves a dual cut—while it unites businesses to customers and revenues, it has isolated the people behind it from each other. If you think your PC, coding, and your cube are the best friends in your world, come on out and take a walk.

The world is still full of people who wish to know you, and be known to you. Ask yourself, “Am I an Arjuna?”

Nice Thought

Soul mate. .

Once upon a time, there was a teacher and his student. One day they
were lying down under a big tree on a grassy plain. Then, suddenly,
the student asked the teacher, Teacher, I'm confused, how can I find
my soul-mate..? Can you please help me..?



Teacher : Silent for few seconds, then he answered, well; it's a pretty
hard and easy question.
Student : (Thinking hard) Huh???
Teacher : Look that way, there's a lot of grass there, why don't you walk
there, but please never walk backward, just walk straight ahead.
On your way, try to find a beautiful blade of grass and pick it up,
then give it to me. But just ONE blade of grass!
Student : Well, ok then.. wait for me.. walked straight ahead on the grass field.




A few minutes later..

Student : I'm back.
Teacher : Erm, well I don't see any beautiful blade of grass in your hand.
Student : On my journey, I found a few beautiful blades of grass, but each
time I thought that I would find a better one, so I didn't pick it up.
But I didn't realize that I'm at the end of the field, and I hadn't picked
up any. 'Cause you told me not to go back, so I didn't go back.
Teacher : That's what happens in real life..




What is the message of this story..?
In looking for your soul mate, please don't always compare and Hope that there
will be a better one. By doing that, you'll waste your lifetime, 'coz remember
Time Never Goes Back".

It applies similarly in finding your ideal life partner, your suitable, career or business
opportunity..

Therefore the morale is :

LOVE & GRAB HOLD of the opportunity that you have. Don't waste time now - Go & get it now . . .

Best Husband

Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A cell phone on a bench
rings and a man engages the hands-free speaker function and begins to talk.
Everyone else in the room stops to listen.

MAN: "Hello"

WOMAN: "Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?"

MAN: "Yes"

WOMAN: "I am at the mall now and found this beautiful leather coat it's only
$1,000. Is it OK if I buy it?"

MAN: "Sure, go ahead if you like it that much."

WOMAN: "I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the new 2005
models. I saw one I really liked."

MAN: "How much?"

WOMAN: "$60,000"

MAN: "OK, but for that price I want it with all the options."

WOMAN: "Great! Oh, Honey, one more thing . . . the house we wanted last
year is back on the market. They're asking $250,000."

MAN: "Well, then go ahead and give them an offer, but just offer $240,000"

WOMAN: "OK. I'll see you later! I love you!"

MAN: "Bye, I love you, too."

The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are looking at him in
astonishment. Then he asks: "Anyone know whose phone this is?"

Nice Sardar Joke

Banta Singh walks into a bar in Ludhiana & orders three glasses of Beer
and sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in
turn.When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three
more. The bartender asks him, "You know, beer goes flat after I fill
it in the glass; it would taste better if you bought one at a time."
Banta Singh replies, "Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in
Dubai, the other in Canada, and I'm here in Ludhiana. When they left
home, we promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days when
we drank together." The bartender admits that this is a nice custom,
and leaves it there. Banta Singh becomes a regular in the bar, and
always drinks the sameway: He orders three Beers and drinks them in
turn. One day, he comes in and orders only two Beers. All the other
regulars notice and fall silent. When he comes back to the bar for the
second round, the bartender says," I don't want to intrude on your
grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your great loss."
Banta Singh looks confused for a moment, then alight dawns in his eye
and he laughs. "Oh, no," he, says, "Everyone's fine - both my
brothers are alive" . " Only thing is ---- I just quit drinking"!!!!!!

ANNOUNCEMENT IN THE PLANE ( Nice One )

There were an announcement in a flight -

Ladies and gentlemen. I am Basesarnath, feeling happy to inform you,

that

I

am

your pilot. Now we are at 30000 feet height and our speed is 1000

miles

per

hour. Passengers on the right side can see fire balls coming out of

engine,

but

you do not need to worry. Aeroplane will take a long time to catch

the

fire

fully. Passengers on the left side can not see on of engine, because

that

engine was damaged and dropped 20 miles back. Passengers do not need

to

worry,

because this plane have four engines. We still have three engines.

Now

there

is

a crack in the center of plane. You can see Arabian see thro this

crack.

If

you

will see carefully, you can see a small yellow point. This point is

a

rubber

boat. Your pilot Basesarnath is speaking from the same boat.

CTRL+ALT+DEL

Have you ever wondered who has invented the "CTRL+ALT+DEL" key
combination?

David Bradley

He is the one who spent 1 minute and 23 seconds writing the source code
that has rescued and will continue to rescue PC users worldwide
for decades. This extraordinary IBM employee retired on Friday,January 14,
2005; after a prolonged service of 29 years. His formula forces obstinate
computers to restart when they no longer follow other commands. By 1980,
Bradley was one of 12 people working on the debut. The engineers knew they
had to design a simple way to restart the computer whenever it fails to
respond to the user. Bradley wrote the
code to make it work.



Bradley says -
"I did a lot of other things than Ctrl-Alt-Delete, but I'm famous for that
one." His fame and success is achieved each time a PC user fails.
He commented on his relationship with Bill gates by saying, "I may have
invented it, but Bill gates made it famous by applying my formula
when ever any Microsoft's Windows operating system made by him CRASHES,
thus I win when ever he loses."

Digg it !
