College days — The good old days

I remember the time I spent with my friends. The ones who truly care about me and hope that they remember me now wherever they are!!!!

I remember the good old times,
when the college felt like heaven
but seems so long,
these good old times,
but I remember like it is a day before..

Waiting for friends,
the good old times
and having loads of fun;
going to a film for making fun,
and see the audience run;
Those were the good old days
When everything was pure fun;

I miss my friends now
and life is just going
after I joined engineering,
Life has become boring;
With loads to study and
difficult to pass,
I don’t know
what will happen to my marks;

I wish the old days to return
where fun never ends
And everyday be good day

Avast Antirookit:Does it really Exist?

I have been wondering about the Antirookit protection that is being provided in the Avast Home Edition. There is no separate engine for that hence I have been trying to find some evidence about its working.

So after months of using Avast today the Avast detected a rookit.

When an engineering student is on holiday….

I represent none but myself when I mean an engineering student. After the holiday started from 15th of July I have been sitting at home just like couch potato ( I guess I’m not one yet ). Also with the Internet bandwidth usage nearing the 1 GB limit ( That’s why I am not including any pictures in my blog post ) , it is getting very difficult for me to keep myself occupied ( I just hate Internet connections with bandwidth limits.)

In between I had some time spent with my friends, when we went to the beach to have fun and my friends almost drowned ( Just kidding ) me there. Anyways fun is not enough for me. Like they say Yeh Dil Maange More ( I guess I flicked it from the old Pepsi ad or something ).

I would have loved to continue writing all kinds of nonsense but India has loads of power cuts ( Load shedding they say…. Since I am an Indian my house is not safe from it too.)  So before my UPS says bye, let me tell you bye and post this thing.

Plan Change from BSNL Broadband plan Home 250 to Home 500C

For sometime now, I am not happy with the 1GB free bandwidth that is available with the HOME 250 plan of BSNL Broadband. This is because my aunt sends the photos of my cousin via E-mail and it takes a lot of bandwidth to download them. ( It took around 150MB to download around 60 photos yesterday and nowadays digital cameras have high resolution and it affects the file size very much.)

So I decided to change my broadband plan from Home250 to Home500C. Home 500C is a combo plan which changes the broadband plan as well as the existing phone plan. For Rs.500 a month we get 1.5GB free bandwidth, 175 free calls and the landline plan will be shifted to the OneIndia Plan. I think it is advantageous than the previous plan in which we had only 125 calls free and the plan rent was Rs.250.

I have submitted a written application in the Telephone Exchange asking for a plan change from the Home 250 to Home 500C. They have also told me that the plan change will take effect from the first of next month.

Update: BSNL Plan change from Home 250 to Home 500C – 2

Confidence what????

Looks like government is going to loose the confidence vote and hence I just pray to god that after just for once after the elections we have a party that will come to power without any coalition. It is just sad that people are so sold out that they won’t own anything to their conscience.

Firefox 3 supports .mht format

Actually Firefox 3 still does not support the.mht format but there is an addon called Unmht that can help to save the webpages in the .mht ( webarchive) Format.

I was using the Mozilla Archive Format is the Firefox 2 but when Firefox 3 was relesed I decided to stay in Firefox 2 since I did not have a supported webarchive addon. ( Also there were some other addons which were not compatible ).

I first found out about this addon on the Digital Inspiration and in this post.

Hottest Newdude

Today’s news from IBN Live shows that there are Hottest Newcomers in Bollywood this year.

The six newcomers who were in the running for their smashing debuts were:

• Imran Khan
• Ranbir Kapoor
• Neil Nitin Mukesh
• Harman Baweja
• Rajeev Khandelwal
• Sikander Kher

Imran Khan received rave reviews for his performance in Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na and a record opening at the box office.

Ranbir Kapoor might not have had a dream debut with Saawariya but his clean, good looks and his impish smile have the filmmakers lining up.

Legendary singer Mukesh’s grandson, Neil Nitin Mukesh signed up for an unconventional debut and though Johnny Gaddar didn’t rock the box office, the youngster made quite an impact and is ready to swim against the tide if need be.

Harman Baweja has been dubbed as a Hrithik Roshan clone and his Rs 50 crore debut, Love Story 2050, did not make the right impact. But with filmmakers like Ashutosh Gowariker and Sanjay Leela Bhansali swearing by him, here is a star to watch out for.

Rajeev Khandelwal defied critics and made the switch from small screen to the silver screen with his debut Aamir and received rave reviews for his performance.

With his unconventional good looks and style, Sikander Kher made a creditable debut with Woodstock Villa. His next movie, Summer of 2007 may not be very hot, but he has surely arrived.

My Comment : Its not their charm thats worked actually.

Imran Khan , Ranbhir Kapoor, Neil Nitin, Harman, Sikander…. All of them are sons( nephew in case of Imraan Khan ) of celebrities and some of them surely rose to this level not because of their acting skills but to because of the tremendous attention given by the media.

Imran Had his uncle Aamir who was the producer of Jane Tu… itself.

Ranbhir Kapoor is the son of Rishi Kapoor and Deepika’s Boyfriend( I can’t tell who is more important Deepika or Rishi).

Neil Nitin is the guy whom I don’t know much about ( Just like evryone else I have not watched Johnny Gaddar).

Harman Baweja is a Hrithik lookalike and Harry Baweja’s Son. ( I wish instead of Hrithik’s looks he had got Hrithik’s acting skills.)

Not much to say about Rajeev Khandelwal except the fact that most of his fans are the ones who watched Kahin To Hoga and Left Right Left.

Sikander is Anupan Kher’s son and looks a lot like an ugly apeman. If he’s hot… Then I’m King Khan.

That probably proves my point , I guess. So which one among these you find hottest. Please reply.

Interesting Post

Just read this post on Givv Up.

This author sees the Projection of Power in the movie Jaane Tu.. Ya Jane Na.

Comments 1 , 2 and 3 were really harsh, but I think one should appreciate the observation made by the guy.

King Of Blunder

Noida police have been setting high standards in Aarushi case. When the case was handed over to the CBI, even they set standards by making loads of blunders from their part.( These guys will finish second even if they are the only ones running the race.)

Someone else are keeping up with them and they are the Great Indian News Media. From making fake mms to telling false stories, these guys worked a hand in glove with the with the Noida police and CBI in crucifying Rajesh Talwar and almost succeeding in doing it.

Loads are stories have been heard and loads of stories are yet to be heard. It looks the the blunders never stop.

A World Of Free Antivirus

Why spend loads of money on an antivirus software? Or get a cracked version which do not support updates?

The two leading free antivirus softwares are available called

• Avg Free 8
• Avast Antivirus Home

These are not the mediocre types but two of the best Antivirus available. And because it is free more people download it and it naturally leads to the development of a very good antivirus scanning engine.

I have been getting a lot of search engine terms for this post of mine. lots of terms like “Which antivirus installed” , “good free antivirus”  etc…

That is the reason for writing this post. Hope you have a nice time using free antivirus softwares.
