બેસતા કરી દીઘા!!!

2010-09-21T12:58:00.001+05:30

નાના- મોટોઓને કોમ્પ્યુટર પર બેસતા કરી દીઘા!
‘સેલ- ફોન ’ પર શાકભાજી પણ વેચતા કરી દીઘા !

ટેક્નોલોજીતો ભઇ વઘી રહી છે જુઓ ચારે કોર,
ગુણાકાર ને ભાગાકાર બઘાના ભૂલતા કરી દીઘા!

સવારના પહોરમાં નિયમિત ન્હાવાનું જે છોડીને,
‘ઇમેલ’ ના સરોવરમાં ડૂબકી મારતા કરી દીઘા!

ખાવાનો ચસ્કો બઘાનો જુએા વઘતો જાય છે આજે, ‘
સ્પેસ’ માં સુનીતાને પણ સમોસા ખાતા કરી દીઘા !

પૈસા પડાવનાર પાત્રો વઘી રહ્યા જૂઓ અહિ પણ?
વિમાનો ને વહાણો ઉપર કથાઓ કરતા કરી દીઘા!

સમયની મારામારી વઘી ગઈ છે ઘેર ઘેર આજે તો ,
સ્ંડાસમાં ‘ સેલ્યુલર’પર વાતો પણ કરતા કરી દીઘા !

‘લેક્સસ ’ ને ‘મરસીડીઝ ’ માં આમતેા ફરો છો તમે,
અમારા અવસરો પર મોડા કેમ આવતા કરી દીઘા ?

કથાઓ કરાવીને પણ વ્યથાઓ કોઈની ઘટી નથી,
ક્લેશો કુટુંબો વચ્ચેના ભઇ કેમ વઘારતા કરી દીઘા ?

હાથ લંબાવતું નથી કોઇ સહારો આપવા માટે તો ,
ઇર્ષામાં એક બીજાના જૂઓ પગ ખેંચતા કરી દીઘા!

સ્મશાન વૈરાગ્ય આવવો શક્ય નથી ‘ચમન ’ હવે?
‘ઇલેક્ટી્રક’ ભઠ્ઠામાં મડદાં પણ બાળતા કરી દીઘા .

Between 1750 - 1900 ... the gold prices did not change by more than a penny ...... and between 1995 - 2010 it multiplied

interesting fact .... what 150 years of british empire could not do ... we did it in just 15 years of libralization hmm intresting or lets just say internet era

TWO-LINE RHYME

2009-08-24T14:50:00.002+05:30

SOME COMPETITION ASKED FOR A TWO-LINE RHYME WITH THE MOST ROMANTIC FIRST LINE, BUT THELEAST ROMANTIC SECOND LINE
This is the winner:-

My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife,
Marrying you screwed up my life.

I see your face when I am dreaming.
That's why I always wake up screaming.

Kind, intelligent, loving and hot;
This describes everything you are not.

I thought that I could love no other --
that is until I met your brother.

Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you.
But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead, the sugar bowl's empty and so is your head.

I want to feel your sweet embrace;
But don't take that paper bag off your face.

I love your smile, your face, and your eyes --
Damn, I'm good at telling lies!

My love, you take my breath away.
What have you stepped in to smell this way?

My feelings for you no words can tell,
Except for maybe “'Go to hell.”'

What inspired this amorous rhyme?
Two parts tequila, one part lime

Most common Dreams and their meanings

2009-07-16T22:03:00.002+05:30

SOURCE:

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/LIFE-STYLE-Relationships-Man-Woman-Top-10-common-dreams-and-their-meanings/articleshow/3797003.cms

Dreams have always been a mystery to us. The Association for the Study of Dreams has revealed that the majority of us have dreams with similar

Dreams

themes, and it is possible to gain better health (mental and physical), entertainment and even financial gains from such dreams.

A well known American psychic, Edgar Cayce claimed that through dreaming, people gain access to their spirit and all possible questions are answered by our inner conscious. Some dream interpretations are strange, while others are pretty understandable. We bring you ten most commonly experienced dreams to help you interpret their meaning within the context of your own life.

Car troubles

Description: This is a common nightmare among all ages, even for people who usually don't drive. In this dream, you are usually in or near a car or some other type of vehicle which goes out of control. The circumstances can vary, for example, you may find that you have no brakes, or that the steering wheel doesn't work, or that you have run out of fuel. You may also dream that you are going off the road, off a cliff, going through a red light, or crashing into an object or person. Vaibhav Jain, a sales manager with a leading telecom company, recalls "I don't remember my dreams. But a few years ago, when I was getting over a troubled relationship and going through an emotional turbulence, I used to have a recurring dream that I am driving a car and suddenly the brakes failed. It was an intense feeling."

Interpretation: A vehicle is the symbol of our life's path. This dream arises when things are not going well for you and you are unable to control the unpleasant events happening in your life. If the car in your dream has poor control or missing parts, it suggests that your sense of control over current conditions is being compromised. "A troubled car dream always means that you are going through a change - be it changing jobs or experiencing your first pregnancy," says Anuj Singh, a clinical psychologist.

Failing a test

Description: This dream is often seen by those who have been out of school for a long time. In this dream you are prevented from passing a test in diverse circumstances. In one scenario, you find that you are unprepared to undergo the test either because you have not prepared for it or because you are missing the necessary equipments needed to sit for the exam. In another scenario you may find that you can't answer any of the questions or that the test is in some unknown language. You can also not complete the exam within the stipulated time or find that you are late in arriving at the exam hall. All these factors contribute to you failing this test. Monika Tomar, a content writer with a MNC, says, "I get this dream periodically. It's usually college and I've blown a class off for almost the entire semester and once the finals come I have to find a map and locate the room like it's my first day there."

Interpretation: Such dreams highlight your frustration and depression. It usually means that you are feeling tested in life and may experience the fear of not being accepted. It could even imply not being prepared to face challenges or not being good enough. You are worried that you are not making the grade and measuring up to other people's expectations. "To dream that you are taking an exam indicates that you are being put to the test or being scrutinised in some way. These dreams also suggest that you are feeling unprepared for a challenge. These dreams are not about the content of the test, but rather how you are feeling while taking the exam," explains Anuj.

Illness or

Dreams

Dreams and their meanings (Getty images)

dying

Description: A dream death is a moderately common nightmare and it involves deaths of famous people, your parents or children, a lover or even yourself. Occasionally, it occurs during the onset of an illness. According to American psychic, Edgar Cayce, when you dream about the accidental death of any person, that person's death symbolizes something in you that is no longer functioning. Manish Kumar, a senior engineer says, "I usually dream of goons breaking into my house and shooting at my father. I'm the only one who witnesses this in the dream"

Interpretation: This dream is related to your life and it means that you are emotionally hurt or are afraid of being hurt. "This dream may work as a warning for you to make you aware of an upcoming physical risk to yourself or a loved one. When it is someone else in the dream who dies, it can mean that you feel that part of yourself (that you see represented by that person) is also dead. It may also mean that you wish the person would go away or that you fear losing them," interprets Anuj.

Being chased

Description: Dreaming about being chased is also a commonly experienced nightmare. Most often the chaser in the dream is a monster or some person who is frightening; occasionally it may be an animal. Such dreams are not only horrifying and shocking, but often leave the dreamer with a lasting image of the dream. It is also worth noting that sometimes this dream is a replay of an actual event in your life. Atul Kulkerni, a student, says, "When I was young I used to have nightmares about being chased. Usually I was chased by two lions and I would be running away from them towards my house, but I could never reach the door no matter how hard I'd try."

Interpretation: This type of dream often results from stress. In this type of dream you feel frightened, attacked and in danger. If you dream of being chased by someone you know, this person is somehow contributing to your anxiety. If you dream of being chased by a stranger, it's possible that the stranger represents some aspect of yourself. "Running is an instinctive response to physical threats in our environment, therefore 'chase dreams' represent your way of coping with fear or stress. Instead of confronting the situation, you are running away and avoiding it", explains Anuj.

Bad or missing teeth

Description: Teeth dreams usually involve the discovery of extremely decayed or missing teeth in your own mouth. Common dream scenarios include having your teeth crumbling in your hands or your teeth falling out one by one with just a light tap. Priti Singh, a call centre executive, recalls, "Five years back, I would constantly dream about my teeth falling out. And not just falling: they actually crumble into much smaller pieces, and I end up spitting the pieces throughout my dream. I was seeing that dream so often that I actually went and talked to someone about it, and they told me it could mean that I wasn't feeling nurtured or loved by those around me."

Interpretation: What does it mean when we dream about missing teeth? At the most basic level it means that we are afraid of being looked upon as unattractive. At a deeper level, it can signify a fear of embarrassment or loss of power in real life. "Sadly, we live in a world where good looks are valued highly and our teeth play an important role in conveying that image. The dreams about your teeth reflect your anxiety about your appearance and how others perceive you. Another rationalization for falling teeth dream may be rooted in your fear of being embarrassed or making a fool of yourself in some specific situation", explains Anuj.

Falling or sinking

Description: We have all had falling dreams. This is the most common dream, and is sometimes accompanied by muscle jerks, which may jolt you awake. In such dreams we are usually falling through the air and are extremely frightened. Occasionally we may be sinking in water and in danger of drowning. Shradha Singh, customer care executive, says" I often dream that am floating or have the ability to levitate, sometimes with a great sense of power other times with powerlessness."

Interpretation: Dreams of falling often arise from the fear of losing control. A person who is having this dream is either insecure or lacks support in real life. If you have this dream you should evaluate your current situation and try to identify the problem. "Falling is an indication of insecurities, instabilities, and anxieties. Sometimes when we have these dreams, your whole body jerks or twitches and we wake up. This happens because falling or sinking dreams typically occur during the first stage of sleep and the dreams in this stage are often accompanied by muscle spasms of the arms, legs, and the whole body. This jerking action is part of an arousal mechanism that allows the sleeper to awaken and become alert and responsive to possible threats in the environment," says Dr. Anuj.

Missed a train, bus, boat

Dreams

or plane

Description: In this type of dream you are rushing to catch a bus, train, plane or other type of public transport, but you miss it generally by a fraction of second. You feel frustrated rather than afraid in these dreams. In a variation of this theme, you arrive very late for a performance in which you are supposed to participate and find that the event has already begun.

Interpretation: "Travel images often signify an emotional journey of discovery and this dream usually means that you have missed out on an important opportunity in your real life. This dream often occurs when you are struggling over an important decision", explains Dr. Anuj.

Faulty machinery

Description: In the faulty machinery dream you dream of trying to operate some mechanical equipment while it malfunctions. Many such dreams involve telephones, with the dreamer having trouble dialing, getting disconnected or making a faulty connection. It can involve a lost Internet connection or a jammed or broken machine. Abhishek Srivastava, a web developer, says "I dream about the faulty connection most often. I can never dial the right number or get hold of the person I am trying to reach"

Interpretation: "This dream means that you are losing touch with reality or that a part of your body or mind is not functioning properly. You can also have such dream when you are feeling anxious about making a connection with another person in real life," says Dr. Anuj.

Lost or trapped

Description: In this dream you try to find your way out of an unknown territory such as a forest, city streets, a large building or any other maze-like structure. Another way this dream plays out involves you being trapped, buried alive, caught in a web or unable to move for some other reason. Ankur Srivastava, a bank employee says, "One recurring dream is of being on my way somewhere and taking a shortcut through a building. This turns into an endless series of stairs and doors that lead nowhere."

Interpretation: Dreaming about getting lost is very common and will usually occur when you are not able to decide on how to react to a certain situation in real life. "This type of dream will usually carry an element of fear or of frustration and it usually means that you are trapped in real life and you are unable to make the right choice," interprets Dr. Anuj.

Dreaming nudity

Description: In this type of dream you are in a state of undress, partial undress or inappropriate dress. For example you have gone to work wearing pyjamas. Occasionally you are the witness of another person who is naked while you are clothed. This is often accompanied by feelings of embarrassment and shame, but occasionally with the feeling of pride or freedom. Kumar Mohit, a software engineer, recalls "When I was young the most recurring dream was that I went to school wearing only pajamas and I am surprised that I still remember it"

Interpretation: As with all the dreams, the emotional tone of this one is important to the meaning. The meaning of this dream is that you are feeling exposed, awkward or you are afraid that you have revealed too much of yourself to someone who is not trustworthy. An interesting fact about this type of dream is that it occurs much more frequently in people who are involved in a wedding ceremony or event management in their real life. "Getting humiliated at the realisation that you are walking around naked in public, is often a reflection of your vulnerability or shamefulness. Finding yourself naked at work or in a classroom suggests that you are unprepared for a project at work or school. But if you are proud of your nakedness and not embarrassed or ashamed then it symbolises your unrestricted freedom", explains Dr. Anuj.

New age song - Subcontinent rock

2009-05-13T20:35:00.008+05:30

Hey all

I am sure all of you remember the song BC sutta ..... now here is the new song by the same band Zeest.

It is officially free download. As the band's legacy its for the youth crowd of Pakistan and India who is pretty much fucked up because of the current recession.

Kabhi tu koi din aisa hoga
jab mairi jaib mai paisa hoga
gaari hogi bangla hoga
jeevan ka sapna pura hoga

100 rupai ghar sai milai
par 100 rupai sai kia milai
100 rupai k laakhon sapnai
liyeh dil mai chal diye

100 rupai ka yeh note adhora
kaisai hoga maheena pura
100 rupai ka yeh note anokha
jo na hosaka kabhi kisi ka

100 rupai, mairai 100 rupai
100 rupai, mairai 100 rupai

chai bhi peeni hai, paan bhi khaana hai
yaad mai oski sutta bhi jalana hai
piyar bhi nibhana hai tu milnai dur jaana hai
paidal chal k kiraya bachana hai

kabhi tu koi din aisa hoga
jab mairi jaib mai paisa hoga
kabhi tu koi din,
kabhi tu koi din…

Bivi hogi bachai hongai
woh din bhi kitnai achai hongai

aisa paisa hai yeh kaisa, bewafa jaisa
sapna jo dekha kabhi hoga pura
kabhi tu hoga!!!!

Kabhi tu koi din,
kabhi tu koi din….
Kabhi tu koi din aisa hoga

kabhi tu koi din,
kabhi tu koi din….
Kabhi tu koi din acha hoga

kabhi tu koi din,
kabhi tu koi din….
Kabhi tu koi din aisa hoga

kabhi tu koi din,
kabhi tu koi din….
Kabhi tu koi din, paisa hoga!

Auxiliary Copy Not Running

2009-04-23T17:20:00.001+05:30

Problem: Auxiliary copy not running properly in Commvault Galaxy
Error: While accessing a drive the Serial Number obtained is different from expected Serial Number.

Change before the problem arise: None

Now, there are several possibilities for the error.
1: One or more of the drives from the library were replaced but after replacing a drive they were not updated on media agent using "Library and drive configuration"
2: Media agent is not avaialble
3: Drive is not working / marked offline / faulty

Possible Solution for 1:
- Suspend all Jobs
- Stop the media agent services on all media agents
- Go to Control Panel > Library and drive configuration > Select all Media agents > Run Detection on all media agents.

This will update all the drive serial numbers and register them with comcell. Now if any of the drives were replaced, they will be updated in comcell.

Now, resume all the jobs. If you still get the same error then kill that job and initiate another job. Even after initiating a new job, you get the same error then try the work around in 2.

Possible work around for 2:

Keep in mind that all jobs should be suspended at this time but all the media agent services should be working.

This is when you find that media agent on which the library is supposed to be "seen" i.e. the media agent which controls the library is unavailable.

- Try to change the library controller to another media agent
Comcell > Storage Resources > Media agents > Expand"Avaialbe Media agent" > select the library > Right click > Properties > Library controller > Change > Select the alternative library controller > Reset controller.

- Go to Policies > Storage Policies > Select the Policy for which you are running an auxilary copy > Right click > Properties > Data Path > Add > Add the datapath which is the library controller you just selected in the previous step.
- Mark the new datapath as default
- remove the old data path
- kill the current auxiliary copy job
- start new auxiliary copy job
- make sure that it selected "new" library controller(the one you just selected) as the controller for the job.

This will resolve the issue.

The only solution for 3:

- Replace the drive and follow the solution for 1:

There are few other possibilities depending on the errors you receive, if you need more details then feel free to drop me a comment with details, I will be happy to help if I can.

PS: The problem I discovered while trying to resolve this issue is the library was lost from SAN path because of the HBA being disabled by the admin team on the media agent that was the data path for the auxiliary copy, i.e. Possible Case 1.

Cheers!!

I dont wanna miss a thing....

2009-04-19T05:36:00.001+05:30

Simply love this song .... so thought to put it on here ....

could stay awake just to hear you breathing

Watch you smile while you are sleeping

While youre far away dreaming

I could spend my life in this sweet surrender

I could stay lost in this moment forever

Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure

Dont want to close my eyes

I dont want to fall asleep

Cause Id miss you baby

And I dont want to miss a thing

Cause even when I dream of you

The sweetest dream will never do

Id still miss you baby

And I dont want to miss a thing

Lying close to you feeling your heart beating

And Im wondering what youre dreaming

Wondering if its me youre seeing

Then I kiss your eyes

And thank God were together

I just want to stay with you in this moment forever

Forever and ever

Dont want to close my eyes

I dont want to fall asleep

Cause Id miss you baby

And I dont want to miss a thing

Cause even when I dream of you

The sweetest dream will never do

Id still miss you baby

And I dont want to miss a thing

I dont want to miss one smile

I dont want to miss one kiss

I just want to be with you

Right here with you, just like this

I just want to hold you close

Feel your heart so close to mine

And just stay here in this moment

For all the rest of time

Dont want to close my eyes

I dont want to fall asleep

Cause Id miss you baby

And I dont want to miss a thing

Cause even when I dream of you

The sweetest dream will never do

Id still miss you baby

And I dont want to miss a thing

Dont want to close my eyes

I dont want to fall asleep

I dont want to miss a thing

SQL Backup Failure - Commvault Galaxy

2009-04-13T21:15:00.003+05:30

Problem: SQL Restore fails using Commvault Galaxy
Client Platform: Windows 2003 Server (64 Bit), SQL 2005
Error: Authentication Error
Change before the problem arise: Change in SQL admin account Password

Solution:

Commvault needs to use SQL Admin user name and password in order to work with the agent. This id and password is from the client side. The commvault Galaxy has a bug and it does not interact well with good passwords with symbols like £ $ % ^ & *. So make sure your SQL Admin account password does not contain any of the characters. Eg: P@$5w0rD <<< Wont work. Pa55w0rd <<< will work

How to find it:

In Comcell GUI > Client Computers > Client name > SQL Server > DB Instance > Properties > Accounts

Thanks,

Gold prices in INR per gram

2009-03-13T21:58:00.004+05:30

Hey guyz,

I was recently looking for live gold price gadgets on google and I coudnt really find the one I wanted. I wanted per gram price in INR (Indian rupees). I came across this website which is really good and I used it to check the gold prices everyday. But then I really started to get annoyed having to click it again and again to check the prices. Then I thought let me take some self help. I created this gadget for my iGoogle page. You should check it out, it updates along with your iGoogle page and its quite handy for us as we dont need to go through the conversions from per ounce or from USD to INR etc conversions.

I will improve the gadget once I get sometime with more options and currencies.

Feel free to drop in comments.

મારે ફરી એક વાર શાળએ જવું છે

2009-03-09T18:12:00.002+05:30

મારે ફરી એક વાર શાળએ જવું છે

દોડતા જઇને રોજની બાંકડીએ બેસવું છે,રોજ સવારે ઊંચા અવાજે રાશ્ટ્રગીત ગાવુ છે,
નવી નોટની સુગંધ લેતા પહેલા પાને,સુંદર અક્ષરે મારુ નામ લખવુ છે,
મારે ફરી એક વાર શાળએ જવું છે...

રિસેસ પડતાં જ વોટરબેગ ફેંકી,નળ નીચે હાથ ધરી પાણી પીવું છે,
જેમ તેમ લંચબોક્સ પુરું કરી,મરચુ મીઠું ભભરાવેલ આમલી-બોર-જમરુખ-કાકડી બધુ ખાવુ છે,
સાઇકલ ના પૌડાની સ્ટમ્પ બનાવી ક્રીકેટ રમવું છે,
કાલે વરસાદ પડે તો નીશાળે રજા પડી જાય,એવા વિચારો કરતા રાતે સુઇ જવું છે,
અનઅપેક્ષિત રજાના આનંદ માટે...મારે ફરી એક વાર શાળએ જવું છે.

છુટવાનો ઘંટ વાગવાની રાહ જોતાં,મિત્રો સાથે ગપ્પાં મારતાં વર્ગમા બેસવું છે,
ઘંટ વાગતાં જ મિત્રોનું કુંડાળું કરીને,સાયકલની રેસ લગાવતાં ઘેર જવુ છે,
રમત-ગમત ના પિરિયડમાં તારની વાડમાંના બે તાર વચે સરકી બહાર ભાગી જવું છે,
તે ભાગી જવાની મોજ માણવા....મારે ફરી એક વાર શાળએ જવું છે.

દિવાળી ના વેકેશનની રાહ જોતાં,છમાસિક પરીક્ષાનો અભ્યાસ કરવો છે,
દિવસભર કિલ્લો બાંધીને માટીને પગથી તોડી હાથ ધોયા વીના ફરાળની થાળી પર બેસવુ છે,
રાતે ઝાઝા બધા ફટાકડા ફોડ્યા પછી,તેમાંથી ન ફુટેલા ફટાકડા શોધતા ફરવું છે,
વેકેશન પત્યા પછી બધી ગમ્મતો દોસ્તોને કહેવા... મારે ફરી એક વાર શાળએ જવું છે.

કેટલીય ભારે જવાબદારીઓના બોજ કરતાં,પીઠ પર દફતરનો બોજ વગાડવો છે,
ગમે તેવી ગરમીમા એરકન્ડીશન ઓફિસ કરતાં,પંખા વિનાના વર્ગમાં બારી ખોલી બેસવું છે,
કેટલીય તુટફુટ વચ્ચે ઓફિસની આરામદાયક ખુરશી કરતાં,
બેના બાંકડી પર ત્રણ દોસ્તોએ બેસવું છે,
બચપણ પ્રભુની દેણ છે, તુકારામના એ અભંગ નો અર્થ હવે થોડો સમજ મા આવવા માંડ્યો છે,
એ બરાબર છે કે નહીં તે સરને પુછવું છે....મારે ફરી એક વાર શાળએ જવું છે.

આ કવીતા ના કવી નું નામતો નથિ જાણતો હું, પરંતુ આ ક્રુતી માટે એમનો ખુબ ખુબ્ આભાર

~~~~~~~

શબ્દોની વચ્ચે
છોડેલી ખાલી જગ્યા…
વાંચી શકીશ?

~~~~~~~

આટલું જાણ્યું સખા ! એ પ્રીત પણ પ્યારી નથી,
સંગ એની એક-બે જો વેદના પાળી નથી.

જો પ્રણયની રાહ તેં આંસુથી શણગારી નથી,
છો સફરમાં હોય તું, પણ એ સફર તારી નથી.

વાંસળીની જેમ વાગી ના શકે તો જાણજે,
છે હજી પણ કૈંક અંદર… સાવ તું ખાલી નથી !

વ્હાલનાં વરસાદમાં પણ સાવ કોરો રહી જશે,
તું નહીં પલળે કદી, જો છતને ઓગાળી નથી.

પ્રેમને ઈશ્વર સમજ ને ભાગ્ય કર તું વ્હાલકુ,
ફર્ક શો છે હાથની રેખા જો હૂંફાળી નથી?!

હોમતી રહે છે મને કાયમ વિરહની અગ્નિમાં,
તોયે તારી યાદને મેં તો કદી ટાળી નથી.

પ્રીત, ઊર્મિ, બેબસી ને દર્દથી સજતી રહી,
જિંદગીને મેં સખા ! કંઈ ખાસ કંડારી નથી.

Organize Music Library

2009-02-18T21:22:00.012+05:30

Organize playlist, iPod playlist, iTunes Playlist, ID3 Tags, Music File Information, Organize music library with ID3 Tags

Ever wondered looking at your iPod or WMP /iTunes / Winamp playlist why the hell it doesn't display the correct information about Artist / Album / Song name/ Track Number etc ??Go on, read further and find out more about what's the problem and how to solve it. Organize your music with a little help of official free download software.

So, Here are few of the reasons why it doesn't show correct information especially for Bollywood / Hindi songs and South Asian pop / music albums.

- Pirated Music Tracks (the biggest issue)
- Downloaded from websites, who modify the tags and put their web address as info for their publicity
- Incorrectly ripped songs
- Inappropriate format conversion
- Copied from Torrents

These are some of the common reasons behind the incorrect tags. Let me try and bust the jargon first

Q: What are ID3 Tags? or What is Tag in music files
A: Tags are the information about the song. Artist, Album, Composer, Year, Track number, etc. So in simple words its personal information for the song you listen to. More information on Wiki

Q: What is rip / ripping (songs)?
A: Rip is converting / burning music from CD format to mp3 or WMA or other supported format as per the software you use. More information on Wiki

Q: What is Software?
A: Buy yourself some life if you ask this question.

Q: What is iTunes / Winamp / WMP?
A: iTunes is Apple Computer's Music software that plays, arrange, update your music file. Its free for download here.
Winamp is a freeware does the same job as iTunes but in a different way. Again its available for free download here.
WMP is Windows Media Player built in to Microsoft Windows. Its bundled software and upgrades are available for download here.

So here is what you need to do in order to update the tags. Earlier I used to use iTunes to manually modify the tags on each song which took ages for me to do it but though I could not do it for all of them for all the information. Still, I was determined to organize my music in order to get the maximum ease of use for my new iPod.

To manually modify the ID3 tags using iTunes, follow this process.

1. Open iTunes
2. Go to Library
3. Right Click on the song and select "Get Information"

4. You can modify the song information here from the 2nd Tab.

Its much easier to do it when you are updating your library with couple of albums as you can sort out the song list by :

1. Adding only one album at a time
2. Sort it by "Date Added"
3. Right click on first file follow the manual process and modify info
4. Click on next instead of closing it and it will select the next song on the list.

So you are already in a trauma that it will take ages to get this done ?? don't worry about it, that's where the next process comes to help us.

1: Download Winamp here

2: Follow the instructions for installation of Winamp
3: Once winamp is installed, start it and play few songs for test

After these steps you are ready to begin the real work. Now this is not going to be as simple as clicking and follow, its a bit difficult then that. But don't let the put you off, I have simplified the process for beginners.

1. Open Winamp
2. Add songs from one album or as many as 20 songs in the playlist
3. Select all the songs, right click and choose option Send to > Auto Tag

4. This will add all the songs to Auto Tag plug-in of Winamp which is built in, it will start to analyze and query them to the server and find out the tag information.

5. After all of them are queried and has results, it will display the results in "pan" below the list of the songs. Carefully select the songs to apply changes as its 95% accurate not 100%.

In order to optimize the results, modify the tags manually with at least one information in the tags. This is essential for those songs which has only numbers and no album or artist information at all. Those songs downloaded from webs mostly has some info followed by the url which is auto corrected by winamp quite easily.

After this is done, and you apply changes. You can skip the next step or follow it for making your music extremely organised.

You need to download ID3 TagIT and install it. Please follow instructions mentioned on the web for the software.

Once you have the software downloaded and installed. Here is what you need to do.

1. Start ID3 TagIT
2. Select songs from one album or as many as 20 songs
3. Select how you want to rename the songs, E.g.: Artist - Album - title, title - Album, title - album - artist.
4. Apply changes, this will rename all your songs as per your preference. I personally do it with title - Album. Which makes it extremely easy to find them using Windows search, Linux find, iPod and other music files.

After all these efforts, you will have the most organized music library and you will thank yourself for this.

If you have suggestions, comments, critics, please post them as comments. I will be glad to hear from you.

PS: I will update the post with Snapshots for process as soon as I get some time.

Regards,

Mihir Sangani

Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayal aata hai....

2009-02-06T20:19:00.005+05:30

While I am posting this .. I am lisning to the song Kabhi Kabhi ... a remix version by Bally Sagoo. I love that song. Its mixed with Lounge version ... and its awsome. So why post it here ???

Let me tell you what I like the most about the song, the initial dialogue ... yeah here it is ...

Kabhi Kabhi Mere Dil Mein Khayal Aata Hai
Ke Zindagi Teri Zulfo Ke Narm Chao Mein Guzarne Pati

To Shadaab Ho Bhi Sakti Thi Ye Ranj-O-Ghum Ki
Syaahi Jo Dil Pe Chai Hai Tere Nazar Ki Shuwao.N Mein

Kho Bhi Sakti Thi Magar Ye Ho Na Saka
Magar Ye Ho Na Saka Aur Ab Ye Aalam Hai

Ki Tu Nahi Tera Ghum Teri Justaju Bhi Nahi
Guzar Rahi Hai Kuch Is Tarah Zindagi Jaise

Ise Kisi Ke Sahare Ki Aarzu Bhi Nahi
Na Koi Raah Na Manzil Na Roshni Ka Suraag

Bhatak Rahi Hai Andhero Mein Zindagi Meri
Inhi Andheron Mein Reh Jaunga Kabhi Kho Kar

Main Jaanta Hu Meri Ham Nafaz Magar Yuhi
Kabhi Kabhi Mere Dil Mein Khayal Aata Hai

Now, you guyz are wondering why is that I have posted this here ??? So let me tell you why ....

Just when I thought of the dialogue, I googled it immediately and got it but that reminded me of something ...

It reminded me of a day in my life. So it was an evening in the year 1996, I remember every bit of it. I was very young and studying in Grade 7 (Standard 7). A friend of mine invited me to his house to spend some time and may be chill out after the tutions. It was holiday the next day and I had nothing to do as usual (hated studies) so I went to his house. Now, ever since he was young he was very much into music and stuffs. So, he pulled up a casset player into his bed room, pulled up this new tape by Bally Sagoo, and made me listen to this song. We listened to this song for atleast 6 - 7 times.

Boom!!!! what happend we dont know but we decided to speak the dialogue ourself ... we obviously didnt remember the dialogue even after listening to it for so many times. So what do we do???

Idea!!!! Lets keep playing the tape, repete and listen to the song again and again to write down the dialogue. We started doing it, and was thinking instead of listening to the whole song we should rewind few times and note down the dialogue. Holly cow!!! we screwed up the casset, and the player both. The thing stopped playing completely, and the casset wont even move ... We were scared till death as he was strictly warned not to play with the tape and spoil it. But hey, we were kids and obviously devil's dominating ... we simply put the player and casset back to where it was in his living room and sliped out of the house.

I remember the incident very well, we laughed a lot after that no doubt. But I guess he had to confess later on that he screwed up, thank God I was saved ....

So ... I still I think somtimes .... i.e. Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein bhi khayal aata hai ... ke woh kya din the ... wah wah ...

hope you had a giggle. ... if not ... visualise the situation remmebering your childhood ... then you may

cheers!!

Laptop buying regime ....

2009-01-27T18:01:00.006+05:30

Hey All,

I've been thinking of buying a laptop for a long time and was looking for a good machine to own. The hunt started with requirements like Internet, Office Applicationds and mails. So started the hunt for the laptop with some of the options. Here is the process I followed let me define it as "Laptop Buying Process" you can treat it as Laptop buying guide [;)]

Laptop Buying Process

- Decide your budget

I decided mine upto 500 £ maximum

- Decide your applications and usage.

Mine was as mentioned earlier; internet, office applications and mails.

- Decide if you want more portabiltiy or features. Is it going to be a replacement to your desktop or is it going to be completely mobile applications.

I was a little confused for this point, as if I want a light weight then I wont get features and if I go for features I will get heavy weight so ...

Pause: Laptop Buying process

At this point you pretty much have a baseline of what you should start looking for. Depending on your location you should look out for avaialble options online.

Here is what I used:

- www.ebuyer.co.uk
- www.pcworld.co.uk
- www.amazon.co.uk
- www.currys.co.uk
- www.laptopsdirect.co.uk
- www.dixons.co.uk
- www.dell.co.uk
- www.comet.co.uk

and many more ... but I am sure www.google.com wold be the best way to start if you are now aware abouy the vendors in your country.

So, what do we do after going to these sites ??? here is what should be done

- go to Laptop Category
- Filter the price range first I used 350£ - 550£, now here is where your budget is a little shaken because you tend to filter it a little higher then your budget to make sure you do not missout a good deal. Be careful though
- Filter Screen size you would like depending on your decision if you want mobility or desktop replacement
- Now its time to use your instincts, what brand have you heard / experianced in past ? and what do you prefer out of the list ? filter it. I was quite clear on what I wanted so I filter it to HP / Compaq and Dell home use

After all this, you should pretty much have 15 - 20 options. Now its time to go to Level 2 for filtering.

Option 1: Go to individual Vendor's site and view detailed specifications of the model you find online. These sites are pretty much easy to understand and navigate hence it will be easier for you to choose them according to the description given by vendor about it's capabilities and applications. Or go to advance way of doing it

Options 2:

- Filter it using processor type.

Now how do you decide which processor you want in your laptops, this is like deciding the heart of processor or engine in the car.

First note down the avaialble options Eg: Intel pentium / Dual core / Core 2 duo / Amd Athlon / opteron / Tuerion / ARM Processor etc.

To continue this, you need to go back to your decision about your applications. After referring back to your decisions and applications its time to use www.google.com

User search tags such as Intel Dual core 5800 VS AMD Tuerion X6400

You will get number of sites, and you need to look out for comparison charts. These charts give you mostly all the options that are listed in your applications. After referring to the results you can filter them as per your preferences.

So now its time to filter them using processors.

After filtering it you will be down to Memory and Hard drive preferences.

Remember, memory can be easily upgraded so dont bother about it much, choose it as per your hard drive preferences.

Thats it, job done.

End of Laptop Buying process

After all these I filtered down to few models and then was final on Dell Inspiron 1525 with all the features I wanted.

Boom......

Some thing triggered andthen I thought I should have a little better options for my Graphic card in order to play games and do video editing and photo editing. This made me get into detailed specs more and more. I wanted all ... Nvidia Graphic card, HDMI port, eSATA port and many more features.

After all that, I found the right machine I wanted. Dammn it was way expensive so now I was in a terrible situation ... what to do ... what to buy .. what not to buy ...AAARRRGGGHHHHH

Hmm .. .so no one but myself had to decide waht to do.

Here is what I did

Bought a Sony Play station 3 for a bargain price from a colleague which was almost like new.
Decided to buy Dell Inspiron 1525 for about 450 £

But guess what, still changed my decision on laptop a while back. I bagged a great deal by Dell. A Dell XPS 1530 Gaming machine with great specs. Awaiting delivery within 7 days......

Will soon post more details on PS3 and Dell both.

cheers!!

SQL Restore fails using Commvault Galaxy

2009-01-20T17:55:00.002+05:30

Problem: SQL Restore fails using Commvault Galaxy
Platform: Windows 2003 Server (32 Bit)
Error: Query Result [ERROR:
Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 42000) Error: -2147217440
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
IDispatch error #3552
].

Solution:

1) Change the user name and password for Galaxy Agent using Commcell

In Comcell GUI > Client Computers > Client name > SQL Server > DB Instance > Properties > Accounts

2) Verify if user name used by comcell has "master" access on the server

Windows Management > Users >Select User> Properties > Master

SQL restore fails using Commvault Galaxy

2009-01-20T17:50:00.002+05:30

Problem: Commvault server fails to restore data base on the SQL Client
Platform: Windows 2003 server (32 bit)
Error: Network error

Hi folks,

This is one of the brain shattering issue with SQL restore using Commvault Galaxy. We had a nightmare doing so.
The SQL server was part of a cluster, so the idea is to restore one of the failed clients as a DR process. Commvault had number of reasons why it cant do it, but the whole idea of having a backup is to restore it in a disaster situation. So after a long struggle, and trying every possible thing we figure out the solution to the problem

Here it is:

1) Increase VDI Time out on the Windows server to 30000 Sec

This can be done in commvault > Client computers > Client name > SQL agent > Instance properties > VDI Time out

Default value is 300 and you can increase it upto what u want.

2) Setup Data Ineterface Pair in Commcell (commvaut Galaxy)

This can be done using a Galaxy Control panel > Data Interface Pair

Hope this becomes useful to someone and save them a week to head bang with Commvault Support.

Thanks,

Mihir Sangani

I wrote a small poem while I was watching out of the window, it was snowing and it was Sunday afternoon here in Scotland.....

the city that never sleeps, and doesn't get tired,
where life is busy but one can get more than desired,
that is where I belong

Where day rises with neighbour's alarm clock,
followed by laughter session and morning walk,
the place where all the strangers talk,
that is where I belong

the sea shore that is like city's necklace and covered with concrete tripods,
where there are million of individuals and many of them oods,
that is where I belong

Where traffic cop is pandu,
catches one without helmet saying "kya re gandu"

where mobile rings at 3 in the morning just to hear from a friend "kya chaal raha hai",
and passers by shouting the begger "Ye kya kar raha hai",
where every issue is addressed with "lagi padi hai", and every mistake is "jhol ho gaya hai"

that is where I belong

there is "amar" for a tava pulav and tapri for a cup of tea,
thela for "chat" and "vada Pav" on rekdi,
Bechain ki sandwich, bhagvati ki pav bhaji,
Mumbai ....... India ..... That is where I belong.................

Wanna be back soon.......

GM Diet!!! Results

2009-01-19T21:14:00.005+05:30

Hey all,

so after all the tough days and schedule and diet. Plenty of water and too frequent visits to loo.... I finally could loose only 2 kilos after the end of the diet.

I do feel more lighter though, so I would say it worked for me first time ... and it worked for me 2nd time too. But this time ... instead of loosing more weight, I think I notice more difference in inches. It may be an illusion, but anyway.

I think I should stick back to my regular diet and don't try any more crash diets, as it seems to be ridiculously difficult and take a lot of efforts.

So, I would recommend this diet to someone who has a very high FAT in the body, as its quite use full to shell off in such case. But someone with average body type and decent BMI, its not that effective.

My first experience was good when I lost about 4.5 kilos but at that time the FAT ratio in my body way way high then now.

So that's all I can say,

Cheers!!!

GM Diet!!! Day 7 - Final Day

2009-01-17T16:40:00.003+05:30

ding dong!!! Finally I reached Day 7 ... the final day of the diet. Day 6 was not too tough passed away ... but i had little more rice them allowed with plenty of veggies. Could not resist eating as I was feeling really really hungry.

Also, there is harldy 2 kilos weight loss after 7 days of GM diet, but I notice difference in inches around belly which is a good sign.

During all these days, I skipped only one day for work outs ... otherwise I was working out everyday so even the gain in musles reflects on weight and wont let me loose a lot of weight but fat loss was good i suppose.

Anyways.... was a good experiance once again ...

Hope to shell off some more fat and improve on BMI [;)]

cheers!! Will post tomorrow the total weight loss....

GM Diet!! Day 6

2009-01-16T16:03:00.002+05:30

AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!

I am sick and tired of it now ... I could not resist eating yesterday ... almost lost patience but then realised that its day 5 and I have slogged for 5 days to achieve something and now at this stage I cant give up.

Thats the reason I said its the most difficult day... day 5 was really hard for me. Just once cup of rice and 6 tomatos ??? dammn a toddler would eat more then that in a day. So as an addition to it I had a bowl of Veggie soup along with an apple.

but hey .... its Day 6 and now I can eat all the veggies and additional a cup of rice ... wow!! Looks like its gonna be easy peasy for me ...

will keep posting....

btw, I checked weight this morning I am down by 2 kilos so far so doesnt look like I am anywhere near to the target (5 kilos)

cheers!!

GM Diet!!! Day 5

2009-01-15T20:15:00.003+05:30

Day 5 is only a cup of rice along with 6 whole tomatos. Now thats really hard.

Didnt really get time today to update the blog, its been a really busy day helping me keep away from food and not starving [;)]

will post more details tomorrow... but feels good to eat rice after a week.

cheers!!!

GM Diet!!!! Day 4

2009-01-14T15:52:00.003+05:30

Aye!!!

Day 3 was really bad, I was out working at another site and the traffic killed me while driving back home. Couldnt manage to work out either. To regain the strength I had to eat a full bowl of salad (750 grams) + cooked veggies about 750 gms.

After a while I got back into my senses and there we go it was almost the end of the day.

So, here I am on Day 4 I dont see any changes in weight so far (quite nominal so far) but feels a bit lighter in terms of inches. Now I dont know if its true or illusion.

Its the most difficult day as I have to survive on Banana and Milk, nothing else.

Hope to get through this soon,

will keep posting!!!

Cheers!!

GM Diet!!! Day 3

2009-01-13T20:16:00.002+05:30

Allright, so Day 2 was not too tough till 10 in the night but then it was getting a bit difficult.

Managed to get through though, and here I am on Day 3. Easy peasy so far, Have had only fruits and soup so far. Looking forward for a salad trip this eve ...

cheers!!

Will keep posting.

One Bedroom Flat

2009-01-06T21:19:00.002+05:30

WRITTEN BY AN INDIAN SOFTWARE ENGINEER..

A Bitter Reality

As the dream of most parents I had acquired a degree in Software Engineering and joined a company based in USA, the land of braves and opportunity. When I arrived in the USA, it was as if a dream had come true.

Here at last I was in the place where I want to be. I decided I would be staying in this country for about Five years in which time I would have earned enough money to settle down in India.

My father was a government employee and after his retirement, the only asset he could acquire was a decent one bedroom flat.

I wanted to do some thing more than him. I started feeling homesick and lonely as the time passed. I used to call home and speak to my parents every week using cheap international phone cards. Two years passed, two years of Burgers at McDonald's and pizzas and discos and 2 years watching the foreign exchange rate getting happy whenever the Rupee value went down.

Finally I decided to get married. Told my parents that I have only 10 days of holidays and everything must be done within these 10 days. I got my ticket booked in the cheapest flight. Was jubilant and was actually enjoying hopping for gifts for all my friends back home. If I miss anyone then there will be talks. After reaching home I spent home one week going through all the photographs of girls and as the time was getting shorter I was forced to select one candidate.

In-laws told me, to my surprise, that I would have to get married in 2-3 days, as I will not get anymore holidays. After the marriage, it was time to return to USA, after giving some money to my parents and telling the neighbors to look after them, we returned to USA.

My wife enjoyed this country for about two months and then she started feeling lonely. The frequency of calling India increased to twice in a week sometimes 3 times a week. Our savings started diminishing. After two more years we started to have kids. Two lovely kids, a boy and a girl, were gifted to us by the almighty. Every time I spoke to my parents, they asked me to come to India so that they can see their grand-children.

Every year I decide to go to India… But part work part monetary conditions prevented it. Years went by and visiting India was a distant dream. Then suddenly one day I got a message that my parents were seriously sick. I tried but I couldn't get any holidays and thus could not go to India ... The next message I got was my parents had passed away and as there was no one to do the last rights the society members had done whatever they could. I was depressed. My parents had passed away without seeing their grand children.

After couple more years passed away, much to my children's dislike and my wife's joy we returned to India to settle down. I started to look for a suitable property, but to my dismay my savings were short and the property prices had gone up during all these years. I had to return to the USA...

My wife refused to come back with me and my children refused to stay in India... My 2 children and I returned to USA after promising my wife I would be back for good after two years.

Time passed by, my daughter decided to get married to an American and my son was happy living in USA... I decided that had enough and wound-up every thing and returned to India... I had just enough money to buy a decent 02 bedroom flat in a well-developed locality.

Now I am 60 years old and the only time I go out of the flat is for the routine visit to the nearby temple. My faithful wife has also left me and gone to the holy abode.

Sometimes I wondered was it worth all this?

My father, even after staying in India, Had a house to his name and I too have the same nothing more. I lost my parents and children for just ONE EXTRA BEDROOM. Looking out from the window I see a lot of children dancing. This damned cable TV has spoiled our new generation and these children are losing their values and culture because of it. I get occasional cards from my children asking I am alright. Well at least they remember me.

Now perhaps after I die it will be the neighbors again who will be performing my last rights, God Bless them.

But the question still remains 'was all this worth it?

I am still searching for an answer.................!!!

START THINKING IS IT JUST FOR ONE EXTRA BEDROOM??? LIFE IS BEYOND THIS DON’T JUST LEAVE YOUR LIFE ……..START LIVING IT …….LIVE IT AS YOU WANT IT TO BE …….

હું થોડા દિવસ હવે તારામાં રહું?

2008-12-30T20:27:00.002+05:30

ખોટું ન લાગે તો વાત એક કહું
હું થોડા દિવસ હવે તારામાં રહું?

કામમાં હશે તો હું વાત નહીં માંડું
મૌનમાંય કોઈ દી ના છાંટા ઉડાડું
સમણાંનો કાયદોય હાથમાં ન લઉં… હું થોડા દિવસ…

કોણ જાણે હિમશી એકલતા જામી
વૈદો કહે છે: હૂંફની છે ખામી
કહે છે તારામાં લાગણી છે બહુ… હું થોડા દિવસ …

રોજ એક ઈચ્છા જો સામે મળે છે
આંખોમાં ભીનું થઈ નામ ટળવળે છે
તારામાં તારાથી આગળ નહીં જઉં… હું થોડા દિવસ …

રસ્તામાં પાથરેલ કાંટા જો મળશે
મારી હથેળી પછી પગ તારો પડશે
વેદનાનો ભાર હું એકલો જ સહું… હું થોડા દિવસ…

કહેણ મોસમનું કોઈ મને ભાવતું નથી,
મને સાચકલે મારામાં ફાવતું નથી.
આમ ટીપાની ધાર બની ક્યાં સુધી વહું?… હું થોડા દિવસ…

એકવેળા આપને મેં દઈ દીધેલું દિલ, હજુયે યાદ છે
ને પછી ભરતો રહયો'તો હોટેલોનાં બિલ, હજુયે યાદ છે

પ્રિયતમ! હા,તારા ચહેરા પર હતા એ ખિલ હજુયે યાદ છે
મારા પૈસે તેં ઘસી બેફામ ક્લેરેસીલ હજુયે યાદ છે

સાયકલ અથડાવીને સોરી કહ્યાની સ્કીલ હજુયે યાદ છે
ને પછીથી સાંપડેલી સેન્ડલોની હીલ હજુયે યાદ છે

માનતો'તો હું કે પૈંડા બે જ છે સંસારરથનાં હું ને તું
ને પાડોશમાં હતા તારાં ઘણાં સ્પેરવ્હીલ હજુયે યાદ છે
