Every morning in Africa, a deer wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the lion or it will be killed.


Every morning, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest deer or it will starve to death.


It doesn't matter if you're a lion or a deer. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running.

I was waiting at the doctor's clinic yesterday evening while my attention was caught by this poster.

Dance like it hurts,
Love like you need money,
Work when people are watching.

Google and its related sites were not accessible the yesterday, while the other pages including facebook or twitter were loading successfully. Google, gtalk, gmail, reader... were totally out of service to the BSNL broadband users. I could neither google to find out a solution for this. ;)

If you're a BSNL customer and facing the same issue, try this:
1. Go to 192.168.1.1; system info and chk the attenuation and SNR value.SNR should be about 12 it seems.
2. Then change ip address in the internet settings from automatic to manual.

Thanks to Suyog for providing the solution.


A day without google is living in stone-age!

Having experienced frequent shut downs on my laptop which I described earlier, formatting Windows Vista  and installing Windows 7 did not help. I decided to visit a Sony Service station who thoroughly did a root cause analysis and found that the processor fan was not functional any more.

1. Bangalore
2. Belgaum
3. Davangere
4. Hubli
5. Mangalore
6. Mysore
