Challenge yourself, enhance your learning, gain wisdom

One of the good point about Gandhi Ji was that his mind was restless. He always tried something new, he never was contented with his present. He never thought once in his life that he is settled, at peace and satisfied. I think this is one of the many reasons that he was a great person. He never tried to hide his mistakes/faults. He denied primary education to his children, his elder son was very unhappy with him for this. Unfortunately, this was also one of his experiment with life. But many of his other experiments like cleanliness, ahinsa were globally appreciated and accepted. So, don't stop yourself from experimenting, just because of the fear of failing or non-acceptance by society. I agree there is risk, but risk is there in anything and everything in life, the only difference is our faith in the outcome. We are generally happy in taking those calculative risk, where the results are more or less favorable. Challenging yourself is the best thing a person can do all his life. It also enhances the learning, knowledge, and wisdom of a person. Its quite easy to get into a comfort zone, which also means reducing the challenges and risks. It is obvious that it will be a 'good feeling' zone, but it definitely leads to a stagnant and dull life.

Which is the best OS for atom netbooks????

Although laptop makers recommend using windows 7 starter or basic edition for netbook to get best performance, but unfortunately that doesn't happen. I have tried three versions of windows 7- basic, starter and professional. It does run, and you can do things, but will hang in between. The reason being, windows itself is taking ~50-70% of your RAM. So with 1 gb RAM, there is hardly much space left to really work. Even with internet surfing you will see that it stuck many times when there are heavy sites or multiple windows open, as RAM usage reaches more than 90%. I bought my netbook (Asus x101ch) with the hope it will be much easy for me to do simple things  like surfing, listening music etc. But, with OS mentioned above its really not smooth. I have found that XP runs much better, faster and smoother. But for the latest netbooks like the one I have, drivers are the issues, you don't get drivers for XP.

An Unknown Face

"Oh... Definitely, I have seen him somewhere" - she said. But her memory is not helping. In the last few days, she has spotted him a few times. The first remembrance was when she was having the morning tea in her balcony, and he was walking by. She noticed it because she felt his gaze fixed at her for a moment. He was not staring but gave a quick side glance at her, and that penetrated her mind and etched a memory. Then, she saw him in the market, from a distance but did experience similar feelings. Now, it has occurred a few times, and her mind is restless with the thought that anytime and anywhere, he is watching her and she has not spotted him. It's a terrorizing and disturbing thought. "Why am I thinking this way, and why that guy?" She is a rational and logical person. There are hundreds of people one meet, some frequently, some occasionally and few rarely. None have left this kind of impression. "Who is this guy? What's the r...

A trekking experience to a small hill in a countryside town- A short story

Sam always see locals spending their weekends participating in some kind of sports activity like cycling, trekking, or playing soccer, badminton, lawn tennis, volleyball, and baseball. Some guys play indoor games like snooker/billiards, bowling or video games. Right from the school days, Sam has always been the guy who would immerse himself in study and research. During his growing years, he did explore all kinds of sports for the heck of it, but never progressed and pursued anything beyond knowing it. Even today, all he knows and does is research, but whenever he gets a chance, he tries to check his skills, be it football, volleyball, table tennis, badminton, swimming, pumping iron in a gym, doing push-ups or pull-ups in a playground. Outdoor sports activities have always fascinated him, but not enough to pursue it regularly. But, on this particular day, after seeing some locals going for trekking that morning, he thought of trying it out himself - A trek on a small hill. Altho...
