Dear Mr. Bill Gates,

This letter is from Banta Singh from Punjab. We have bought a computer
for our home and we found problems, which I want to bring to your notice.

1. After connecting to internet we planned to open e-mail account and
whenever we fill the form in Hotmail in the password column, only
****** appears, but in the rest of the fields whatever we typed appears, but
we face this problem only in password field. We checked with hardware
vendor Santa Singh and he said that there is no problem in keyboard.
Because of this we open the e-mail account with password *****. I
request you to check this as we ourselves do not know what the password is.

2. We are unable to enter anything after we click the 'shut down '
button.

3. There is a button 'start' but there is no "stop" button. We request
you to check this.

4. We find there is 'Run' in the menu. One of my friend clicked 'run '
has ran upto Amritsar! So, we request you to change that to "sit", so that
we can click that by sitting.

5. One doubt is that any 're-scooter' available in system? As I find
only 're-cycle', but I own a scooter at my home.

6. There is 'Find' button but it is not working properly. My wife lost
the door key and we tried a lot for tracing the key with this ' find', but
unable to trace. Is it a bug??

7. Every night I am not sleeping as I have to protect my 'mouse' from
CAT, So I suggest u to provide one DOG to kill that cat.

8. Please confirm when u are going to give me money for winning
'HEARTS' (playing cards in games) and when are u coming to my home to collect ur
money.

9. My child learnt 'Microsoft word' now he wants to learn 'Microsoft

10 Reasons to Celebrate Diwali

The Festival of Lights is for All

Why do we celebrate Diwali? It's not just the festive mood in the air that makes you happy, or just that it's a good time to enjoy before the advent of winter. There are 10 mythical and historical reasons why Diwali is a great time to celebrate. And there are good reasons not just for Hindus but also for all others to celebrate this great Festival of Lights.

1.Goddess Lakshmi's Birthday: The Goddess of wealth, Lakshmi incarnated on the new moon day (amaavasyaa) of the Kartik month during the churning of the ocean (samudra-manthan), hence the association of Diwali with Lakshmi.

2. Vishnu Rescued Lakshmi: On this very day (Diwali day), Lord Vishnu in his fifth incarnation as Vaman-avtaara rescued Lakshmi from the prison of King Bali and this is another reason of worshipping Ma Larkshmi on Diwali.

3. Krishna Killed Narakaasur: On the day preceding Diwali, Lord Krishna killed the demon king Narakaasur and rescued 16,000 women from his captivity. The celebration of this freedom went on for two days including the Diwali day as a victory festival.

4. The Return of the Pandavas: According to the great epic 'Mahabharata', it was 'Kartik Amavashya' when the Pandavas appeared from their 12 years of banishment as a result of their defeat in the hands of the Kauravas at the game of dice (gambling). The subjects who loved the Pandavas celebrated the day by lighting the earthen lamps.

5. The Victory of Rama: According to the epic 'Ramayana', it was the new moon day of Kartik when Lord Ram, Ma Sita and Lakshman returned to Ayodhya after vanquishing Ravana and conquering Lanka. The citizens of Ayodhya decorated the entire city with the earthen lamps and illuminated it like never before.

6. Coronation of Vikramaditya: One of the greatest Hindu King Vikramaditya was coroneted on the Diwali day, hence Diwali became a historical event as well.

7. Special Day for the Arya Samaj: It was the new moon day of Kartik (Diwali day) when Maharshi Dayananda, one of the greatest reformers of Hinduism and the founder of Arya Samaj attained his nirvana.

8. Special Day for the Jains: Mahavir Tirthankar, considered to be the founder of modern Jainism also attained his nirvana on Diwali day.

9. Special Day for the Sikhs: The third Sikh Guru Amar Das institutionalized Diwali as a Red-Letter Day when all Sikhs would gather to receive the Gurus blessings. In 1577, the foundation stone of the Golden Temple at Amritsar was laid on Diwali. In 1619, the sixth Sikh Guru Hargobind, who was held by the Mughal Emperor Jahengir, was released from the Gwalior fort along with 52 kings.

10. The Pope's Diwali Speech: In 1999, Pope John Paul II performed a special Eucharist in an Indian church where the altar was decorated with Diwali lamps, the Pope had a 'tilak' marked on his forehead and his speech was bristled with references to the festival of light.

PEOPLES COMMENT ON i10

Hyundai i10 Driven








Got a chance to TD the i10 Magna longer. Here are my observations.

Exteriors



Gone are the tallboy proportions, well atleast somewhat. The i10 looks
smarter, lower and wider than the santro. The side profile would still
remind you of the santro. But overall, the design is much better
proportioned and pleasant to look at unlike the quirky design of the
santro that first came out.

Interiors



Sit in the i10 and the interiors feel bigger than they are mostly due
to lighter colours being used. The beige interiors look and feel good.
They are built well and there is also space for a double-din stereo.
The vertically positioned vents have a somewhat limited movement, but
the AC chills and is one of the better units on the market. The
quality of materials used is good and feel better than the
competition. The front seats are comfortable but lack a little in
underthigh support, could be an issue over longer drives. They also
don't come with adjustable headrests which I feel is something that
should not have been left out. They don't come with height adjustment
either. The steering however, has adjustment for rake (tilt). The
instrument cluster is nicely laid out and the outline of the pod is
similar to that of the santro.





The boot space has seen a slight improvement over the santro. But the
only way to open the boot is from the outside. It opens by lifting the
Hyundai logo, just like in the Passat. Hyundai has skipped the
internal boot release. Bad hyundai.



The sunroof is a nice feature, it is supplied by webasto, but the
finish could have been better. Although not of much use in our
weather, but its still something nice to have and even better when
most cars from even higher segments don't offer it.

Engine & Gearbox:

The 1.1 litre unit puts out 66bhp which is slightly more than the one
on the santro. The refinement levels are impressive. Just like the
Santro, the i10 pulls cleanly from lower rpms. The initial push really
helps in traffic. but don't expect it to be a rocket. Its good enough
to keep up with traffic.



The central mounted gearbox falls easily to hand. The shift quality is
good but has longer throws than that of the Santro. I liked the short
throws of the santro better. Also the gearknob could have been
finished better.

Ride & Handling:

The ride is not as stiff as the santro and the top heaviness is also
mostly taken care of. The i10 now features an electronic power
steering. It feels nice and light at city speeds. Haven't been on the
highway so can't comment on highway stability.


The variant I drove came with 14 inch wheels and the ride does feel
slightly harsh especially at low speeds.

Overall, it is a worthy successor to the santro. The sparks, Wagon R's
and Estilos better watch out. The i10 looks like a winner.

Likes
Engine refinement.
Quality interiors

Dislikes
Poor horn.
Non adjustable headrests.
No internal boot release.

Newton is dead again.(old thing reaching again)

As we all know Newton went content of wat he has done and things were

ideal till god decided to send him back to celeberate diwali in India
.



All went fine till Newton 's visit to kollywood's Rajnikant film
festival. Seeing his laws of Physics battered, Newton went paranoid.



Reports say as per the movie:

Rajanikanth has a Brain Tumor that, according to the doctors can't be
cured and his death is imminent. In one of the fights, our great
Rajanikanth is shot in the head. To everybody's surprise, the bullet
passes through his ears taking away the tumor along with it and he is
cured!

Crowd goes…..Long Live Rajanikanth!

B4 Newton could gather himself.

Rajanikanth is confronted with 3 gangsters. Rajanikanth has a gun but
unfortunately only one bullet and a knife. Guess what he does? He
throws the knife at the middle gangster & shoots the bullet towards
the knife. The knife cuts the bullet into 2 pieces, which kills both
the gangsters on each side of the middle gangster & unsurprisingly the
knife takes care of the middle one.

Newton is still studing the viability of the angles used by Rajnikantam when

A gangster chases Rajanikanth. Rajanikanth has a revolver but no
bullets in it. Guess what he does? Nah. He waits for the gangster to
shoot. As soon as the gangster shoots, Rajanikanth opens the bullet
compartment of his revolver and catches the bullet. Then, he closes
the bullet compartment and fires his gun. And bang, the gangster is
dead!

Now this was too much for our Newton to take and he is on his feet!
But the conspiracy is not over yet.

The 'climax' finally arrives. Rajanikanth gets to know that the
villain is on the other side of a very high wall. So high that
Rajanikanth can't jump even if he tries like one of those superman
techniques that our heroes normally use. Rajanikanth has to
desperately kill the villain because it's the climax. (Newton dada is
smiling since it is virtually impossible, right?) Rajanikanth suddenly
pulls two guns from his pockets. He throws one gun in the air and when
the gun has reached above the height of the wall, he uses the second
gun and shoots at the trigger of the first gun in air. The first gun
fires off and the villain is dead and so is NEWTON.



And Diwali is yet to arrive.

A very good message.(Think and Act)...read the last one atleast.........its big......but give meaning to ur time.........

Read it till the end and I am sure, this would change ur perception abt all your relations and brighten ur day for sure..!!!

Happy Living..!!!!!!!!!

TRUST is a very important factor for all relationships. When trust is broken, it is the end of the relationship. Lack of trust leads to   suspicion, suspicion generates anger, anger causes enmity and enmity   may result in separation.

A telephone operator told me that one day she received a phone call.   She answered, "Public Utilities Board." There was silence. She   repeated, "PUB." There was still no answer. When she was going to   cut off the line, she Heard a lady's voice, "Oh, so this is PUB. Sorry, I got the number from my Husband's pocket but I do not know whose number it is."

Without mutual trust, just imagine what will happen to the couple if   the telephone operator answered with just "hello" instead of "PUB".



----------------------------------------------------------------------------

NO POINTING FINGERS

A man asked his father-in-law, "Many people praised you for a successful marriage. Could you please share with me your secret?"
The father-in-law answered in a smile, "Never criticize your wife for her shortcomings or when she does something wrong. Always bear in mind that because of her shortcomings and weaknesses, she could not find a better husband than you."

We all look forward to being loved and respected. Many people are afraid of losing face. Generally, when a person makes a mistake, he would look around to find a scapegoat to point the finger at. This is the start of a war. We should always remember that when we point one finger at a person, the other four fingers are pointing at ourselves.

If we forgive the others, others will ignore our mistake too.



----------------------------------------------------------------------------

CREATING PERFECT RELATIONSHIPS?

A person visited the government matchmaker for marriage, SDU, and requested "I am looking for a spouse. Please help me to find a suitable one." The SDU officer said, "Your requirements, please." "Oh, good looking, polite, humorous , sporty, knowledgeable, good in singing and dancing. Willing to accompany me the whole day at home during my leisure hour, if I don't go out. Telling me interesting stories when I need companion for conversation and be silent when I want to rest." The officer listened carefully and replied, "I understand you need television."

There is a saying that a perfect match can only be found between a blind wife and a deaf husband, because the blind wife cannot see the faults of the husband and the deaf husband cannot hear the nagging of the wife. Many couples are blind and deaf at the courting stage and dream of perpetual perfect relationship. Unfortunately, when the excitement of love wears off, they wake up a nd discover that marriage is not a bed of roses. The nightmare begins.



----------------------------------------------------------------------------

NO OVERPOWERING

Many relationships fail because one party tries to overpower another, or demands too much. People in love tend to think that love will conquer all and their spouses will change the bad habits after marriage. Actually, this is not the case. There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "It is easier to reshape a mountain or a river than a person's character."

It is not easy to change. Thus, having high expectation on changing the spouse character will cause disappointment and unpleasantness.

It would be less painful to change ourselves and lower our expectations..



----------------------------------------------------------------------------

RIGHT SPEECH

There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "A speech will either prosper or ruin a nation." Many relationships break off because of wrong speech. When a couple is too close with each other, we always forget mutual respect and courtesy. We may say anything without considering if it would hurt the other party.

A friend and her millionaire husband visited their construction site. A worker who wore a helmet saw her and shouted, "Hi, Emily! Remember me? We used to date in the secondary school." On the way home, her millionaire husband teased her, "Luckily you married me. Otherwise you will be the wife of a construction worker." She answered,"You should appreciate that you married me. Other wise, he will be the millionaire and not you."

Frequently exchanging these remarks plants the seed for a bad relationship. It's like a broken egg - cannot be reversed.



----------------------------------------------------------------------------

PERSONAL PERCEPTION

Different people have different perception. One man's meat could be another man's poison. A couple bought a donkey from the market. On the way home, a boy commented, "Very stupid. Why neither of them ride on the donkey? "Upon hearing that, the husband let the wife ride on the donkey. He walked besides them. Later, an old man saw it and commented, "The husband is the head of family. How can the wife ride on the donkey while the husband is on foot?" Hearing this, the wife quickly got down and let the husband ride on the donkey.

Further on the way home, they met an old Lady. She commented, "How can the man ride on the donkey but let the wife walk. He is no gentleman."
The husband thus quickly asked the wife to join him on the donkey. Then, they met a young man. He commented, "Poor donkey, how can you hold up the weight of two persons. They are cruel to you." Hearing that, the husband and wife immediately climbed down from the donkey and carried it on their shoulders.

It seems to be the only choice left. Later, on a nar row bridge, the donkey was frightened and struggled. They lost their balance and fell into the river. You can never have everyone praise you, nor will everyone condemn you. Never in the past, not at present, and never will be in the future.

Thus, do not be too bothered by others words if our conscience is clear..


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

BE PATIENT

This is a true story which happened in the States. A man came out of his home to admire his new truck. To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint of the truck. The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's hands into pulp as punishment. When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital.

Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to amputate the fingers from both the boy's hands. When the boy woke up from the surgery & saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, "Daddy, I'm sorry about your truck." Then he asked, "but when are my fingers going to grow back?" The father went home & committed suicide.

Think about this story the next time someone steps on your feet or u wish to take revenge. Think first before u lose your patience with someone u love. Trucks can be repaired.. Broken bones & hurt feelings often can't. Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and the performance. We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge.

People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever.

On to a PC for making a duplicate credit card



They Would Make Duplicates Of Credit Cards Used By Customers At A Juhu Hotel

TIMES NEWS NETWORK



Mumbai: The next time you decide to use your credit card on a shopping trip,
think again. The Mumbai police have busted a hitech credit card fraud which
they believe is the crime of the future.



Four gadget-savvy youngsters from Andheri, two of them software engineers, got
together to earn a quick buck and ended up ripping off over Rs 3 lakh of
citizens' money. The foursome were arrested by the Juhu police on Tuesday.
Interestingly, one of the boys was all set to leave for the
United State
s for a job in a wellplaced computer firm ..

According to the police, the mastermind of the gang is 19-year-old Leo Paul. A
second-year engineering student at a Bandra college, Paul had read about a
magnetic card-reading device which could store data once you swipe a card
through it. Data from at least 12 such cards could be stored at a time. Paul
realised that if credit cards were swiped though the machine, the personal data
of a customer stored on it could be accessed. He then teamed with Akash Kamble,
a 19-year-old Lokhandwala resident, and ordered the card-reader from
USA , using the Internet, since it's not
available in India
.



"The boys befriended a waiter at Kings International hotel at Juhu to take
their plan ahead. Every time someone ate a meal in the hotel and paid by credit
card, the waiter would discreetly swipe it through the magnetic card-reader,
which is no more than 6-inches long and can be stored in the pocket,'' said
investigating officer

Ramesh Nangare .



Once the waiter was done, he would hand over the device to Paul who would
download the data from the cards on to Kamble's personal computer. The duo
would then feed the data into blank cards, available in the grey market. The
cards were now ready to be used in

Shopping malls and theatres, or to withdraw money from an ATM.



Senior inspector Pradeep Shinde said that the boys forged information from more
than 22 cards in this manner. The fraud came to light after officials from HSBC
bank complained to the police. The cops quizzed customers whose cards had been
duplicated and discovered they had all visited Hotel Kings International and
paid by credit card. Investigators then caught the waiter who led them to the
four youngsters. Paul, Kamble and the two other collegians identified as Manoj
Chauhan (24) and Mahesh Valani (20), have been remanded to police custody.



NEW-AGE CRIME



A portable magnetic cardreader can store data from around a dozen cards tha t
have been swiped through it; made in China, the device was bought on the net
for Rs 18,000.



The card-reader is connected to a computer and the entire data is transferred
there.



The data is then stored in blank cards available in the grey market..



These duplicate cards can now be used to buy a fortune and also withdraw money
from ATMs.
