Amul Ads: Kaushal Patel [Thanks to Het]

I had been to one of my favourite blog yesterday on Celebrating Life!. She posted some of the good ads featured in the olden days comic books like Amar Chitra katha, Chandamama etc. These are some of the books for kids in olden days which were quite famous when there was not a seperate cartoon network channel or now I can say there quite many kids channel around. I was quite aficionado to Supremo, Superman, Phantom, Spiderman from the comics.As grown ups, even at this age I am fond of such things. Then there was one more thing i still like to watch out for and don't want to miss. Its the advertisement of Amul Butter. The concept they take is just fabulous. Here is my post dedicated to those lovely ads. Below are few of the images from those ads.

Google File System : Kaushal Patel

GMail Drive is a Shell Namespace Extension thatcreates a virtual filesystem around your Google GMailaccount, allowing you to use GMail as a storagemedium.

GMail Drive creates a virtual filesystem on top ofyour Google GMail account and enables you to save andretrieve files stored on your GMail account directlyfrom inside Windows Explorer.

GMail Drive literally adds a new drive to yourcomputer under the My Computer folder, where you cancreate new folders, copy and drag'n'drop files to.

Ever since Google started to offer users a GMaile-mail account, which includes storage space of a 2000+ megabytes, you have had plenty of storage space butnot a lot to fill it up with.

With GMail Drive you can easily copy files to yourGMail account and retrieve them again. When you createa new file using GMail Drive, it generates an e-mailand posts it to your account.

The e-mail appears in your normal Inbox folder, andthe file is attached as an e-mail attachment. GMailDrive periodically checks your mail account (using theGMail search function) to see if new files havearrived and to rebuild the directory structures.

But basically GMail Drive acts as any other hard-driveinstalled on your computer.You can copy files to and from the GMail Drive foldersimply by using drag'n'drop like you're used to withthe normal Explorer folders.

Because the GMail files will clutter up your Inboxfolder, you may wish to create a filter in GMail toautomatically move the files (prefixed with theGMAILFS letters) to your archived mail folder.

Change Drive Letters in Windows XP

When you add drives to your computer, such as an extra hard drive, a CD drive, or a storage device that corresponds to a drive, Windows automatically assigns letters to the drives.

When you want to change drive letters, follow these steps:
Right-click My Computer, and then click Manage.
Under Computer Management, click Disk Management. In the right pane, you’ll see your drives listed. CD-ROM drives are listed at the bottom of the pane.
Right-click the drive or device you want to change, and then click Change Drive Letter and Paths.
Click Change, click Assign the following drive letter, click the drive letter you want to assign, and then click OK.

If your mouse contains a wheel for scrolling, you can change font size on the fly when viewing a Web page.
Press and hold Ctrl.

You might find it useful to reduce font size when printing a Web page, so that you can fit more content on the page.

Create a Personal Screen Saver

For a great way to put your digital photos to work, try creating a slide show presentation for use as a screen saver.

Click Settings to make any adjustments, such as how often the pictures should change, what size they should be, and whether you’ll use transition effects between pictures, and then click OK.
Now your screen saver is a random display of the pictures taken from your My Pictures folder.

Click the "Next" button.
Name the shortcut and click the "Finish" button.
Now whenever you want to shut down, just click on this shortcut and you're done. Also, if you want to make life better and faster, you can right-click the new shortcut you just made, go to Properties, and type in X (or whatever letter) in the Shortcut Key box.

Mark your calendars, this is going to be neat ! : Kaushal Patel

The Red Planet is about to be spectacular! This month and next, Earth is catching up with Mars in an encounter that will culminate in the closest approach between the two planets in recorded history. The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287. Due to the way Jupiter's gravity tugs on Mars and perturbs its orbit, astronomers can only be certain that Mars has not come this close to Earth in the Last 5,000 years, but it may be as long as 60,000 years before it happens again.

The encounter will culminate on August 27th when Mars comes to within 34,649,589 miles of Earth and will be (next to the moon) the brightest object in the night sky. It will attain a magnitude of -2.9 and will appear 25.11 arc seconds wide. At a modest 75-power magnification Mars will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. Mars will be easy to spot. At the beginning of August it will rise in the east at 10 p. m. and reach its azimuth at about 3 a. m.

By the end of August when the two planets are closest, Mars will rise at nightfall and reach its highest point in the sky at 12:30a. m. That's pretty convenient to see something that no human being has seen in recorded history. So, mark your calendar at the beginning of August to see Mars grow progressively brighter and brighter throughout the month.
NO ONE ALIVE TODAY WILL EVER SEE THIS AGAIN

A man and a woman, who had never met before, found themselves assignedto the same sleeping room on a transcontinental train. Thoughinitially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room, the two weretired and fell asleep quickly, he in the upper bunk and she in thelower.

At 2:00 AM, he leaned over and gently wakes the woman,saying, "Ma'am,I'm sorry to bother you, but would you be kind enough to reach intothe closet to get me a second blanket? I'm awfully cold."

"I have a better idea," she replied. "Just for tonight, why don't wepretend that we're married?""Wow! That's a great idea!!" he is excited.

"Good," she replies. "Get up and get your own damn blanket."

FACTS ABOUT BILL GATES : Kaushal Patel

1.Bill Gates earns US$250 every SECOND, that's
about US$20 Million a DAY and US$7.8 Billion a YEAR!


2.If he drops a thousand dollar, he won't even
bother to pick it up b'coz within the 4 seconds he picks it, he
would've already earned it back.


3.The US national debt is about 5.62 trillion, if
Bill Gates were to pay the debt by himself; he will
finish it in less then 10 years.


4.He can donate US$15 to everyone on earth but
still be left with US$5 Million for his pocket money.


5.Michael Jordan is the highest paid athlete in US.
If he doesn't drink and eat, and keeps up his annual
income i.e. US$30 Million, he'll have to wait for
277 years to become as rich as Bill Gates is now.


6. If Bill Gates was a country, he would be the
37th richest country on earth.


7.If you change all of Bill Gate's money to US$1
notes, you can make a road from the earth to moon,
14 times back and forth. But you have to make that
road non-stop for 1,400 years, and use a total of 713
BOEING 747 planes to transport all the money.


8. Bill Gates is 40 this year. If we assume that he
will live for another 35 years, he has to spend
US$6.78 Million per day to finish all his money
before he goes to heaven.


Last but not the least : My Favourite........!!! If
Microsoft Windows' users can claim US$1 for every
time their computers hang because of Microsoft Windows,
Bill Gates will be bankrupt in 3 years

Shayries Near My Heart : Kaushal Patel

Ae baarish zara tham ke baras,

Jab mera yaar aa jaye to jam ke baras,

Pehle na baras ki woh aa na sake,

Phir itna baras ki woh jaa na sake.


Aasoon Ko Ankhon Ki Dehleez Par Laya Na Karo,

Apne Dil Ki Haalat Kisi Ko Bataya Na Karo,

Log Muthhi Bhar Namak Liye Ghooma Karte Hain,

Apne Zakhm Kisi Ko Dikhaaya Na Karo!


Mat kar Yakeen sirf Apne Hatho ki Lakeeron pe..,

Taqdeer to Unki bhi hoti hai jine Hath nahi hote!!!


Mujhse mat puch mere hamdammere dil ki baat

is mein kuch parda nashinoo ke naam aate hain


ham to dariya hein hamein apna hunar maloom hai,

jis taraf chal pareinge rasta ho jayega


Yeh naksha ho gaya hai mera soda-e-mohabbat mai

meri surat mere yaaro se pahechani nahi jati....


Sab kuch Khuda sey maang liya Tujh ko Maang karUth'tay nahin hain haath Merey,

Iss Dua ke baad


' Woh' jinn ki khaatir, Hum ne saari sarhadein toreenUnhi ne Aaj kaha hai ke apni " Had " mein raho


Jab tak bikey na thay Hum, koi poochta na thaToou ne Khareed ke Humein Anmol kar diya
