Lizard Story
Hi Guys, its story time, I do come across several stories, but forget most of them, but this one stuck me the most, the message was very clear and it applies to many people.
This was told by an AoL DSN Teacher to a workaholic doctor. The doctor had a hospital running in his home town in Andhra Pradesh, he was so much concerned about his patients, that he would never ever take break, thinking that what would happen to his patients, if he goes on break.
Story begins:
Once there two lizard friends, who were happily playing together, one day one of the lizard climbed the wall went towards the ceiling of a room and sat there, other lizard was waiting for his friend so that they can play, but the lizard didn't come back, it waited for 1 day, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 a week and two weeks. it was still sitting on the ceiling of the room. Lizard couldn't wait for a long time and went to his friend and asked, what are you doing sitting all the day here, why don't you come down and play with me.
To which the lizard told, no, no way I cannot move out of this place, see the roof is going to fall, and I am holding it, if I move out, entire roof will fall down.
Look guys, the lizard thinks that it is holding the roof, actually it’s the roof which is holding the lizard, which it failed to realise.
Now coming back to the doctor, this story stuck to him very much, its only after that he realised that the hospital can run even without him, he appointed junior doctors and started to take rest, thus he got his break and couple of junior doctors also got opportunity to work.

Gurus
Gurus, Masters.....not just one or two.... we have many saints, guru and masters, each one of them are helping people in reducing their tension and live an healthy n peaceful life. It just that I came across one guru who's teachings are simple and without any restrictions and I follow him. He is "Sri Sri Ravishankar" of Art of Living (AoL) The best part of AoL is it allows me to follow my life as usual with out any restriction, and brings in the rich culture and tradition of India and helps us to take care of ourselves, I impressed with its simple teachings which has benefited my family.
He is not the only master who has come into our lives, we hear and see several such masters, like Shirdi Sai Baba, Putapatri Sai Baba, Osho and several enlightened masters.... and each one of them have helped several people in their own way.... Shirdi Sai Baba says all guru's are well connected to each other and they take care of each other disciple as their own, there is no difference. When this is the case I fail to understand why there is so much difference among the people who say my guru is great then yours, can't every one co-exists. Guruji teaches us to accept people as they are, and I do accept them, I am fine if he/she is following an certain other guru, his teachings are also based on our ancient scriptures which is what every master refers to.
After getting in touch with Guruji, I come across teachings of several other masters
Paramahamsa Nityananda
Sukhbodananda
Jaggi Vasudev
Puttapatri Sai Baba
all their teachings are similar, its knowing about yourselves, know the power of yourselves, putting you on the right path...
When goal is same, its just the path is difference.... Lets not be in-different, all Guru's are for the same reason.....Let's realise that...

Thank you for calling Dell
Dell India Support No: 6003366 (last 4 digit represent Dell on your phone)
When you call up this number after you keyed in the number to reach your Q. You get to hear this msg "Thank you for calling Dell, All our representative are busy, please hold the line and we will be with you shortly" and this goes on and on for 10 minutes a female picks up the call, this time it was Partima who attended the call, I gave her my service tag, she verified the warranty status and forwarded by call to the tech team.... again the same message continues for 10 more minutes...... and then Ravi from the tech team picks up the call, who address my issue in flat 1min 21secs.
When you come to hardware quality, I would say all major companies like HP, IBM, and Dell are excellent, Dell gains maximum points because of its fantastic support system, in particular for corporate clients. But in last 10 months, I notice the wait time to their call center takes hell lot of time, in my case it took 21min 21sec for the call to be finished. So I have made few changes to log a call, now I have to plan my call to Dell. I fix my hands free on my mobile so that I can continue do my other task and call up Dell and get my issue resolved.
I always tell HP to follow Dell way of support by what I see is Dell is following HP way of support. HP takes 1 week to support for an Next Business Day support.
But still I will say "I love you Dell" and I want you to improve.
If an Dell Rep is reading this blog, You can check my call reference number: 790501307623
this took 21:21min, which I wish could be reduced.
Cheers :-

Art of Living in Kadapa (Cuddapah), Andhra Pradesh
I wish to share this one, its about this person who has impressed with her commitment to any job which she takes it, Once she is on it, she has to complete it and it has to be done Now. Her name is Usha Rani.
Let share her story and her achievements, she works from home for an Market Research company, so I still consider her as housewife.
Usha had done her Art of Living Part 1 course in Aug 2003, and has benefited a lot in terms of health, relationship and she continued to be part of Art of Living family in area of residence, she is from Kadapa in Andhra Pradesh and seen people suffering with illness more than physical illness, its their phycological illness, people out there spend most part of their hard earned money on doctor and medicine, if they take little care about their body by practicing Sudarshana Kriya it can take care of their health, And for people who have earned good money, their children's working in US earning good salary, have their own house, even they are not happy, this can only be changed when we bring the awareness about how blessed we are, by looking at the world, which we don't we are mostly self centered. Art of Living has brought an major change in Usha and she has an inclination to start this course in kadapa, not in a small way but in major way, get people in hundreds.
In october 2007 she got an opportunity to do Divya Samaj ka Nirman (DSN) with Naikji in Bangalore, this course brings out the talent you, which in turn made Usha to some how take up her project Kadapa which was pending since long time. She contacted VVK Hyderabad and enquired about an Teacher who could take up the course, who gave number of Srinivas Raju, Aol Teacher, Vijayawada, when she contacted him, he was not able to give dates for the course and gave reference of one more teacher Bhaskar Babu, when she contacted him, he was travelling and he also couldn't give any dates, she continue calling them in between Bhaskar Babu teacher had gone abroad to take the classes in other countries in Africa, thus few months past by. Usha was loosing hope on getting any response from the teacher and was not following up.
After few months, Bhaskar babu called up Usha and enquired about the course in Kadapa and gave the dates, it was fixed that in the month of last week of April 2008. Luckly it was summer holidays for Usha kids, as her parents stay in kadapa, she reached Kadapa 1 month before the course, Bhaskar babu came on a weekend, called few voluteers who had done the course earlier had a meeting and told what has to be done for the course and went. Usha had to organise along with the Volunteers, it was difficult for her to organise the course with an kid of 3 years, volunteers were not available all the time she needed them, so she had go around give introductory talk about the course, arrange for publicity material, pamphlet, banner, inform press. It was not an easy task, some time she was in tears, bcoz of the negative feedback from family and friends. With positive feedback from teacher and couple of family member. She continued to do her seva.
28th April 2008 - An Satsang was organised at Kadapa Kalakshetra
29th April - 4th May
Morning & Evening batch Part 1 course
Day batch Yes course for 14 to 18 years
Art Excel for kids 8 to 14 years was organised
An total of 128 people enrolled for the course and did the course, and had very good experience to share.
Thus Usha was able to achieve her long time pending task of taking Art of Living to Kadapa and I am glad to say that Usha is my wife.
We are glad to say that after this course, we had good volunteers team who are continuing organising course, and have also organised Prison Smart course which is for Prisoners.

First trip to Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL)
30th May 2008, with very high expectation of BIAL.....started off from Sahakarnagar at 4:30am to BIAL, early morning, cool breeze... took snaps en route to the new Airport, reached just in 30 minutes....... pretty fast mate..........signage showing the direction is better as we get closer to the Airport, the trumpet flyover is really amazing..... the distance from the NH road to the airport is 6kms, with lots of option for gardening on both sides .....as of now not much of plantation... hope there are some plans........
Took a cab to drop at the airport, as it reached the dropping area, a coupon was given to the driver by a boy standing near an vending machine, who told "10 nimisha matra free" meaning free for 10 minutes only... and gave an ticket, which had the in time printed on it.
Car passed through the narrow lane, where vehicles coming to drop of passengers parking both the sides. this road is so narrow, driver will have a task to take reverse into the lane where he has other vehicles coming to drop of passenger.......New airport and already space constrains........
Didn't find any trolley nearby, need to carry my luggage to a distance.........
Now enter the entrance......it must have been big mate......50% of the door is blocked by the 2 security men standing.... who are there just to delay your entrance rather then to check your tickets......Actually they are really confused with the e-ticket.....each ticket in a different format.... they do not know where to find the flight information... they just have a glance at the e-ticket print out and let you inside..............
Flight Information System:
As I entered the airport found 4 huge LCD display with the flight departure details....The font not big enough....senior citizens might find it difficult to read it...... And that is the only monitor in the check-in area giving the flight info.... I couldn't find any other............
Check in Counter
There are 53 check-in counter despite so much counters....It took 20 minutes for me to get my boarding pass.....And he couldn't book me on through check in to Khajuraho via Delhi, if I had forced he would have given, but found he was not aware of the procedures, I didn't want to loose my luggage, so agreed to collect my luggage and get the check in again at Delhi, The staff seems to be new and I am sure with few more days n experience this section will improve..........not a problem....
Seating arrangement at the check-in area, absolutely minimum.....need to add more place to sit....
in this section I find IC terminal at Delhi superb.....brightly lit... and comfortable seats.....
Security Check
Not much of a problem....was able to security check quickly........went inside.....lots of option for shopping.....there are shops then place to sit.........BIAL is more interested in making a quick money then looking at passengers need..........and the toilets in this area......another absolutely minimum..... be prepare to wait for atleast 5 minutes before you can release your pressure.....New airport and can't plan for the today's need......can it take the load for future years.............
again flight information monitor.....you need to search where it is.... the only source of the departure details is the announcements...........which goes non-stop and you miss out when ur flight details is announced.....
Need more monitors displaying flight information..............in this area........
Boarding Gate
There are 20 boarding gate...... which are divided to domestic and international aircraft........each boarding gate has a monitor, displaying boarding information of 2 flights at the same time.... to find out we need go near the gate and find out which flight boarding is going on..... the IC staff near the gate... at least he smiled at me and told.....the flight number, which was not mine..... had some time so thought of trying out the WiFi
WiFi at BIAL
Enabled wireless on my Dell D610 and connected to the WiFi network.... keyed in gmail address.... got an BIAL page....asking me to enter a password.
Which you can get by sending an SMS WiFi BIAL to 56677
WiFi is free, now I have to check the SMS I sent, how much I will be billed for that....;-).
Boarding was announced....no not by the PAS.... but the staff the gate.......went down....boarded BMTC Volvo bus....which would take us to the aircraft.... bus started off..... reached mid way where it stopped it had to cross the runway where aircraft were taxing..... spent about 15 minutes waiting there...... then it finally took to the aircraft....boarded it..6:15 flight took off at 6:45.
Airport Construction
Still lot of construction is pending......I am sure it will be completed......
Need to have colourful plants inside the terminal......the plants now are just one type....and they already look dead.......Its not that the airport was open in a hurry.....it was delayed by 3 months... thx to the govt.......
Overall.....I would give 4 points out of 10 to the Airport......My expectation was too high... I was comparing Singapore Changai Airport.....but it's no way close to it........This will not be able to take the load in the next 2 years..... Need to plan for the 2nd terminal immediately......
Cheers, in Hotel Paradise, Sagar, Madhya Pradesh... came to give MS Office training for the new bachha party.....

Project PDA Screen to Projector
Periscope: "Periscope" - Had completed setting up TDS Nomad PDA with the software and templates for data logging in the field, and was preparing to roll it out to the staff, was wondering how I would demonstrate the useage of software on the PDA to the audience, then I came across Periscope, I'll tell it was at the right time I found it, I could demonstrate the usage of PDA by projecting it to the big screen for the auidence to view it, else it would have not been possible.
Got it free when I purchased Pocket PC Creation license.
Cheers ;-)
Today is DLF IPL Finals, its midway, Chennai has scroed 163 and I have put my bets on Raj Royals.

Memory Full problem in Nokia N73
I have an Nokia N73. I started to get this message "Memory is full, clear some memory" when checked the memory details, it had only 149kb of free space, I tried to clear all my SMS, Photos, Videos but still couldn't make some memory.
Strange Nokia N73 software does't show up where the memory has been used, about 44MB is shown as being used, but the list which the phone shows, doesn't add up to 44MB.
After spending few nights with my phone was able to resolve it. I had to remove few application which I had installed on my phone and forgot about it.
To remove application do this:
Go to Menu -> Tools -> Appl. Mgr and remove those application which are installed on Phone Memory which you do not require, this will free up your phone memory.
I was able to recover 34MB of memory, now I am able to receive SMS and add Contacts.
Cheers ;-)
There is always an better /polite way of telling that you don't like such n such thing, don't be too harsh, it hurts ;_-
