Khooni Call  

Don't be serious, Be sincere.

Don’t just have career or academic goals. Set goals to give you a balanced, successful life. I use the word balanced before successful. Balanced means ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are all in good order.

There is no point of getting a promotion on the day of your breakup. There is no fun in driving a car if your back hurts. Shopping is not enjoyable if your mind is full of tensions.

"Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have to run with a marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no point coming first. Same is with life where health and relationships are the marble. Your striving is only worth it if there is harmony in your life. Else, you may achieve the success, but this spark, this feeling of being excited and alive, will start to die. ……………….

One thing about nurturing the spark - don't take life seriously. Life is not meant to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are like a pre-paid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked up? …………….

It's ok, bunk a few classes, scoring low in couple of papers, goof up a few interviews, take leave from work, fall in love, little fights with your spouse. We are people, not programmed devices..... ...." :)

"Don't be serious, be sincere."!!

We all carry our mobile phones with names & numbers stored in its memory but nobody, other than ourselves, knows which of these numbers belong to our closest family or friends. 

If we were to be involved in an accident or were taken ill, the people attending us would have our mobile phone but wouldn't know who to call. Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency? Hence this "ICE" (In Case of Emergency) Campaign 

The concept of "ICE" is catching on quickly. It is a method of contact during emergency situations. As cell phones are carried by the majority of the population, all you need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who should be contacted during emergency under the name "ICE" ( In Case Of Emergency). 

The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when he went to the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn't know which number to call. He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name for this purpose. In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital Staff would be able to quickly contact the right person by simply dialing the number you have stored as "ICE." 

For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc. A great idea that will make a difference! 

Let's spread the concept of ICE by storing an ICE number in our Mobile phones today! 

Please forward this. It won't take too many "forwards" before everybody will know about this It really could save your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest . 


ICE will speak for you when you are not able to............

Modify GRUB

If your install of Linux is a dual boot setup with windows() you have run into this problem before. You reinstall windows and suddenly you can no longer access your Linux partition or the Grub bootloader. You can always go thrugh the entire install of Ubuntu again, or you can try to repair the bootload, but how do you repair the bootloader?

Well friends if you have the live CD for which ever distro you are using (that installed Grub) it is quite easy and can save you hours of reconfiguration as well as install time.

1. Find your Live CD and boot it up (set your BIOS to boot from CD first, or if your BIOS allows it you can select the boot device.

2. After the Live CD does its thing you will need to open a terminal screen and type in the command: sudo grub. This command will bring you into the grub prompt

3. Type the following commands assuming sda0 is which ever partition you are using (hd0,0 would be first hard drive and first prompt, hd1,1 would be the second hard drive and second partition).

> root (hd0,0)

> setup (hd0)

> exit

4. Reboot the system and remember to remove your Live CD before your system reboots

5. At reboot you should now see the Grub boot loader along with all your previous setting.

If with the new setup you now see Ubuntu but no longer see a windows menu item follwo the following steps.

If Ubuntu was installed before your Windows version there will be no information in the Grub confiruation for your windows setup. To get windows setup in Grub you will need to do a bit more tweeking.

Boot into Ubuntu and run the following command:

sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

Inside this file you will see an example for a windows choice for when Grub runs. *COPY* the exmple and remove the “#” from the beginning of each line

# title Windows 95/98/NT/2000

# root (hd0,0)

# makeactive

# chainloader +1

Remember you will need to change the hd0,0 to which ever if your windows partition, it may take a few trys, but if you were able to select the correct partition for Linux when resetting up Grub you should be able to figure out the correct partition for Windows.
