Zindagi jeene ka naam hai ....

Bheeg jaane de aaj mujhe
Aansoo bahane de
Dho lene de saare paap
Ganga nahane de

Chaar dino ka pyaar hi sahi
Use pee lene de
Choti si zindagi ko
Aaj jee lene de

Pyaar jo badnaam hua hai
Use saaf karne de
Uski saari galtiyaa
Aaj maaf karne de

Khushiyaa jo bach gayee hai
Unhe baant lene de
Zindagi ke saare gamo ko
Aaj chchaant lene de

Zindagi jeene ka naam hai
Mujhe maan lene de
Aaj fir ek baar
Us nacheej ko jaan lene de.

How to deal with Windows BSoD - Blue Screen of Death


What is BSoD
BSoD refers to Blue Screen of Death (also known as stop error screen or bug check screen or blue screen of doom). It is usually caused by unsuspected software errors in device drivers, incompatible DLL driver files or bugs in the kernel of the operating system. It can also be caused by physical hardware faults such as faulty RAM, overheating of components or over-clocking (running a hardware device beyond its specification limits).
The information about the memory when the system crashed is saved in a file called as ‘mini dump’ or the ‘dump file’. It is usually stored at ‘C:\Windows\Minidump’ folder. This dump file can be used to analyze the cause of the blue dump.

Ways to deal with blue dump
      1. Open up your CPU and remove the RAM stick(s) from their slot(s). Wipe them off with a clean cloth or by an eraser (softly) and put them back in the slots. You can also try exchanging the positions of the RAM sticks provided you have more than 2 RAM sticks.
      2. Download and install WhoCrashed (a free system utility to find the drivers responsible for crashing your computer) from http://www.resplendence.com/whocrashed. This utility requires the Windows Debugging Package (WinDbg) from Microsoft. This is available for download while installing WhoCrashed or can be separately downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/installx86.mspx. Once WhoCrashed is successfully installed, start the tool, click on analyze and it would display the information about the driver which caused the system crash. To resolve the problem, you can just uninstall that driver if not required, or re-install the updated driver for the same.
      3. Another way to analyze the cause of blue dump is to look at the Windows Event Logs. Right click on Computer in the Start menu, select Manage. In the Computer Management window select Event Viewer. Go to Windows Logs à System. And check for Error type of events marked with red exclamation. The Details tab displays the detailed information of the error.
      4. You can try installing the ‘fixshell.exe’ from http://info.prevx.com/download.asp?GRAB=BLACKSCREENFIX
      5. You can download and install the hotfix directly from Microsoft support site at http://support.microsoft.com/hotfix/KBHotfix.aspx?kbnum=979444&kbln=en-us
      6. Just install this hotfix and forget about anything else - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/979444/en-us

If you have failed at it ...

If you have failed at it once
You stand a chance of tonnes

If you have failed at it twice
Not trying it anymore would make you wise

If you have failed at it thrice
Its worthless to even seek an advice.

Maut agar mil jaaye ...

Main tere paas nahi
Matlab yeh nahi ki main tere saath nahi
Lambi si judaai hai
Matlab yeh nahi ki koi jazbaat nahi

Yun to pehchaan gehri hai aapki
Fir bhi koi mulaaqat nahi
Jeene ke liye to hum jee lete hai
Lekin iss zindagi mein woh baat nahi

Maut agar mil jaaye
Toh khushnaseeb hum honge
Jitna khudse nahi
Utna aapse hum kareeb honge
Iss janam mein aapke na ho sake
Agle janam mein hum jaroor humraaz honge
