Casino Royale!!...Royal...Is it?

I never expected this!! But sometimes it happens. Hollywood is also going Bollywood way…

The movie’s best part came up front, at the beginning amidst some awesome graphics and cartoon-ization of Bond. But, as soon as the first min of the movie got over, I saw a short-height, sturdy-built “Daniel Craig” jumping, running, sprinting all around in an African place like our very own Krish (remember that masked ‘Chotu’ Roshan’s avatar who used to jump n run all the time). The new Bond seriously showed some high dose of testosterone in him. His first chase sequence involved hopping over buildings, hanging from cranes, fighting very very very and very high in the upper layers of our atmosphere, running like Ben Johnson, etc etc…hardcore action at its best!! (click on the picture for the full view of the new BOND). In the picture now arrives...Read Further...

Abbey yeh kiya hai!! hataoo isko”…these were the first words which my mouth vomited after my not-so-unique eyes focused on my 15yr old Onida screen. The channel was SET MIN. So! Do I need to say more? Yes! I do…after all standing in front of bhootbangla won’t tell you the names of those bhoot/bhootnis who rule the bhootbangla.
(A word of caution - plz donot view the picture on your LEFT...it could be life-threatening!!)... Read Further

Simplest LINUX installation manual

Renowned web-designer and open source user “Mr. DEVESH KUMAR” (alias DK) has contributed to world by giving 10-STEP MANUAL for starters…it can be generalized for all LINUX flavours.

1) Insert the CD in your CD/DVD drive.
(make sure your system is configured as ‘boot from CD/DVD’ in Bios setup)

2) ?boot:/? will appear on screen. Just hit enter.
(let Anaconda do his work for a while)
Note: anaconda is one of the installer for Linux flavors.

3) Choose normal options such as language, country, time etc as your choice on the screens.

4) Configure your boot loader (choose one Grub or LILO) and default boot partition
i.e. Linux or other.

5) Now hopefully you will reach on partition menu screen
( It’s a very important step for a successful Linux installation??. So, do it carefully)
a) choose custom or manually partition option on the screen.
b) make a free space as you or your hard disk afford.
c) now create a ROOT partition i.e. mount point=?/? space = 3gb or more
d) another partition SWAP i.e. mount point = swap space = _____ ( this valve should be more than twice your RAM, i.e. if you have a RAM of 256, this the valve >512).

Note: SWAP partition is not always needed but in fact it should be.

6) At this juncture, half of your task is over.
Now choose your root password and login
name (root password should be easy to remember otherwise Linux become Hell)

7) At this step you will find a package selection menu
a) choose ‘minimal’ or ‘default’ option on the screen
(it will only minimum package required to run Linux and take least time(10-15 min) to install)
b) Choose ‘select all’ option
( it will install all packages selected by you but take more time ( 40-60 min) to install).

8) Just wait…and enjoying the merry TUX
(the animal you see in the surrounding pictures is actually the LINUX mascot...TUX).

9) Another important step for your system configuration. Here you should check your
system drivers specially Graphics and Sound Cards, otherwise it will goes in text mode
after Rebooting.

10) Take out your disk from drive and Reboot your system.

11) Once your computer restarts, you see ‘GRUB loading’.
Press any key to access menu of different OS on your computer.
Once the starting process ends…open up your newly loaded LINUX OS (again a reminder DO REMEMBER YOUR USERNAME and PASSWORD”…and once you log in
enjoy the cool desktops!!

UBUNTU desktop.

FEDORA desktop.
MANDRIVA desktop.
SUSE desktop.


Remember LINUX is free!! and may the 'SOURCE' be with u

Note: if you feel some problems during installation just mail Mr. Devesh Kumar at dost4frnd@yahoo.com or post your doubts here!!

Sutta n Dope; I can tell u 'ONE' reason for which guys turn up to these

Hello! What I’m going to write may be controversial & may sent u into tizzy but with what I have seen in reality, that’s one reason which ‘IS TRUE n PRAGMATIC’ (though after reading through, I still hope that you are right…not to smoke, not to dope).

First of all! its important to know

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU INSERT THAT LEAN FAG STICK INTO YOUR MOUTH n START HAVING THOSE SMOKY PUFFS?

In layman terms, smoking gives a relaxation to your mind, you become somewhat more alert & conscious and your power of visualization/thinking/dreaming gets diminished partially (all these things won’t be noticed to a chain smoker). If you are a non-smoker (non-chain smoker) or a starter, you will realize though it may not be instantaneous.

So, is there a reason which can explain cogently whether it’s worth enough to be a smoker INSPITE of all those numerous and detrimental diseases (see any anti-smoking book or browse any website n u will meet gamut of diseases ranges from simple coughing to deleterious cancers). You may think NO, but still there is ONE.

The situation where you can find a supportive answer is when you are depressed (cause of depression may vary from person to person). Justification of reason – We all know suicides are very common symptoms of extreme depression. All suiciders go into deep profound depression owing to repetitive thinking about a particular incident. Now, if at that moment, if they indulge themselves in an activity (or vice versa) which can remove their attention from that incident, that suicide will surely be averted. This is where sutta/dope comes. Sutta/Dope diverts your thinking power deliberately (in case of Sutta, the effect is very minute whereas Dope effect are variable). And if by doing these, you are saving yourself from committing suicides…then…BUT…in the hiding are concealed many dangers.

U may save yourself but this won’t help you often and also this could pave the way to many repercussions. Let assume you are depressed quite often, then (as earlier) you start having your antidote to depression problems (sutta/dope) very frequently…congratulations…you just entered the HELL community of tobacco addicts. Also, practically speaking as mentioned earlier addicts/chain smokers don’t get the same FEEL of relaxation through smoking. If you are depressed that often, consult medical science.

The key which lies here is HOW MENTALLY SOUND PERSON YOU ARE n HOW STOICAL YOU ARE?’
Smoke may help you once but once you get into that vicious cycle of that ‘UNREAL’ world of smoke, coming back is damn difficult. Remember:
Smoke is weightless and shapeless” …all you get is ostentatious with fake relieve.
