Keyboard Part showing

Pune,

It's 11.13pm. Silence everywhere. Perfect mood for writing for you. I like writing in blog. My mind always remain busy in thinking what to write for today's posts.
Today was saturday and I got an excellent idea to write a post on cleaning of my keyboard. When I had purchased my old PentiumIII model way back in 2002, this keyboard was with that PC. Its perfect peace and till day it was functioning well. Its almost 6 years now and I found one key was not functioning well since last year. I wanted to give this keyboard to the maintenance guy but today morning I thought of cleaning it in house itself and I decided to publish this post on the blog. so I prepared a small video which shows the basic internal parts of the keyboard.

As a preparation. I took small screw driver and opened all screws from back panel of keyboard. I removed back panel very smoothly. Then I removed plastic circuit shee which is completely transperent. I removed all the green colored small rubber bowls from each keys. Then I removed all the keys one by one. There was huge dust inside the keys. I removed the cable of the keyboard. I washed this empty assembly with water(Don't be surprised...yes with water I washed it). I dried it with dryer. Then I washed all the parts of the keyboard except the transperent circuit sheet.
You can see these parts in my video. As this is my first video post, plese kindly adjust with my shaky language....



After this video, I collected all dry parts and I started assembling it. I fixed all the keys first in the open slots to main panel. Believe me its so tough. I was not remembering which keys to fit where. Somehow I managed to fit it. Then I tested this newly assembled clean keyboard and to my surprise, all keys are functioning well. So its success. I made my day...

Day 15.....Friends

Pune,

Its silence over here, I can here my pc's noise...feeling restless at this evening time of the day. Day went well, tried to perform all my responsibilities throughout the day. Those who expected from me, I managed them during the day. Tried my best to entertain each of them. Its almost 9.10pm and I have found the first comment on my blog. My one of the friends Mr. Kailash has given these comments on my last post. I overwhelmed. Thanks Kailash.

Friends.............there are so many but still sometimes feel alone...so many friends are there who regularly, irregularly remain in touch with me, old, new, friends from schools, college, family friends, hometown friends, engineering friends, Raisoni friends, Efkon friends, IBM friends.......still I feel alone most of the time. There are special friends who really care about me and my life, my family. I must remain faithful to them. God give me power and patience to call them frequently, which I hardly do.

I should overcome my habit of following up my friends less frequently. I should remember their birthdays. I must ask about their family's well being. TheIr examinations and there success in the fields in which they are working. I should regularly meet all of them. I should really make a plan to execute all my dreams.......

But you know....life is full of challenges. Life is a gambling game. It keeps you busy when somebody, from your friends. misses you, when somebody expects you, when somebody wants to talk to you......when somebody want to spend time with you...yes, life always engage ourselves in the business of life...the daily routine life...

As I mentioned above, I must remember friend's Birthdays. It’s not at all difficult. I have seen people remembering birth dates of each and every family members and friend, they really are great and I must appreciate then consistency they have, in doing this work. I must learn a bit from them. God give me strength to do this and let me be successful in bringing smile on their faces.

Why I am thinking about remembering Birthdays, because I have seen people who do it, they can able to occupy 'a little' space of their friend's heart. They can achieve the confidence in the friend circle and definitely, such people can move ahead in life with such a strong community.

I have more than 500 friends till date. I remember some and some remember me.....

Day 14....Life goes away

Pune.

Again new day started, again fresh morning refreshes mind's. We do everything to make our life better. We make all possible sacrifices to do the bset in life. Sleep is one of it. We hardly like to compramise with it, but certain situations comes in life and it forces us to make adjustment with sleep. We make pranayam, we eat breakfast at proper time with proper quantity, we make exercise daily, we drive carefully, we take medicines regularly, we spent time with family members to share their joys and sorrows. Mental support is necessary in certain conditions especially during negative phase of life.

We do read to enhance our knowledge in this world, we do try to memorize new vocabularies, we pretend to understand everything, we nodd positively in the matters where we don't want to envolve, we cry, we laugh, we repent,we relaxed,we care, we jealous,we depart,we come close, we sing,we read,we work,we talk,we shout,we love,we make, we break.........and so on.

God is great. So many moods he has give to every species in the world. He has given and he dares to take away everything from us. He manages the ratio of births and deaths. God has given 30000 expressions on the face. Yes its a capability of human face to express 30000 emotions through his face.

Stopping here.......you can continue with the thinking.

My Mom

Today my Mom left Pune. She left alone. Yes she left alone. This is the first time she is travelling alone. My dad always accompanied her till date. She is 52. At this age she is travelling alone. I am bit nervous and tense. Will she safe reach safely in Nagpur, which is 800Km away from Pune?

I had booked her Volvo ticket two days back, Today morning we all woked up early at 5.30am. We all(Myself,wife and Mom) performed Yoga in the morning. Then we had a good discussion about various topics, we had a tea. They my wife prepared lunch and we had it together. At 2.30pm we set off towared but stop. I purchased some hot chips for this which can be eatable during travelling.



She is now travilling in the Bus. There is a lady with her and they have shared their seat with each other. She was looking excited when bus starts and I moved my hand saying bye bye to her. I know she is expert in hiding her emotions, I know she is scaring from inside because she is travelling for the first time at the age of 52. I am praying to God that he should help her to land the bus safely in Nagpur tomorrow morning.

But there is one more man who is more tense than me, and he is my Dad. He is waiting for her in Nagpur. Yes he spent full one months alone in Nagpur and I am the responsible person for this seperation. They never lived their life without each other. Bye the way.........I am hopeful that but will reach safely in the Nagpur tomorrow, becuase now a days private bus services are improved with good guality of service. They have huge invenstments in private sector and hence proving good facility to the customers.

When I entered into the bus today, I found the furniture was well cleaned and it was nicely decorated,I mean clean curtains, clean bedsheets and it is a sleeper coach thus proving good environment to the travellers.Though they are not providing any food and other stuff, I believe they drive slowly with great care.

Pune to Nagpur(INDIA) is 17 hours journey. Roads are really good and you will absolutely feel comfortable (excluding certain stretches of road during journey.)
So I am hopeful that my Mom's first journey will be safe and fine and she will reach to the destination safely.

With these words I am completing my writing here....
Have a nice day ahead.

Writing.........

What to write on Blog?

"To err is human". Some great saint has said this long years back. Making mistakes is the human beings attitude. Without mistakes man is incomplete. Rather if mistakes are happening, that indicates that work is in progress. Mistakes most of the times shows the temparament of the worker, his involvment in work, his patience and most importantly understanding in doing that particular work.

Mistakes can be done while writing blogs too. Most of the times wrong, irrelavant, illegal,invalid,inappropriate,incomplete,immature thoughts are being put into the blog. Irrespective of this, the topic of the blog always remains the crux of the matter. As per the choice of blogger, they choose blog topic.

Personally, as an emotional guy, I always feel to write something about my parents, my family, my sisters, my brother in law, by neice and nephew but writing about the family members itself is the big work. We cannot write our life on one page. An autobiography is be written for that. Saga of life can be included in that autobiography.

People love to write on sports,politics,finance,software,industrial,travel,computers,communication,ethics,cooking, entertainment,foods,housekeeping,hotelmanagement,personality,bussiness ethics,online chatting, thoughts provoking, cultures,history,geography,science,economics,beauty etc. Epitome of the story is they write what they see, what they feel and what they experience in day to day life. What they understand from life, what they suffers and what they expected. I think, you get a devotinal power from God, what you decide to write on some particular topic. Your confidance of writing about that topic shows that you know about it and yes you want to share it with it somebody. Most of the time, this does not happen. People write about the lies and they show off the things. They pretend the things and thus contraversies are born.

Sarasbag - If you are in India, Must visit....

A SARASBAG LORD GANESHA TEMPLE,PUNE

Hi Guys, I got a chance to visit the very famous holy place in Pune, A Lord Ganesha Temple at Sarasbag,Pune. This is the very famous Lord Ganesh Temple built in the age of Sawaii Peshwe. Peshwe's were the old rulers of this City in 15th and 16th Century. Though photography was restricted inside the temple, I snapped some the the pics of the temple premises. There is a very beautiful garden around the Lord Ganesh Temple.

This is the Main Temple


After visiting the temple, if you come down, you can see very beautiful fountains as shown in image below.


Water is stored for fountains and lot of tree leaves were lying in the water.It was beautiful.


I strolled around the temple a bit, and found that a guy was reading something very sincerly sitting on the bence in the temple garden. I snapped it for you.


It was a evening time, and people were relaxing in the garden. Well maintained garden.Good.


A small square inside the garden.


This is really artistic. Can you guess what it is? .....Its an old statue of a indian woman,but it is nicely covered by tree leaves. It looks beautiful.


This four storage building is none other than a heighted bridge with helps people to cross the main street while coming towards thie temple. Not maintained well and you will find couples on this bridge most of the time.


and last but not the least, the main entrance of the temple. Its beautiful.


Speciality of this temple, You can get the blessings of the Lord Ganesha straight from the Street. Yes you can easily see the Lord through this gate from the street.

Yours

Cute Larva made up my life today....

Imagine you are preparing your food on the weekend while discussing happily with your family. Everybody is giggling at home, Cookery show in going on TV....and suddenly while cutting veg my wife found a worm inside. She suddenly screamed loudly and threw veg far from her and hold her both hands on her ears,gave expressions which you wouldn't have seen in any hollywood movie. I could not capture her expressions in my following video, but surely I capture the movement of the worm who was the cynosure for next 10 minutes after getting located. You can hear the voices of my Mom and my wife getting relaxed when I taken care of the worm.....Have a fun........

Criticism - Let people speak about you.

"Asking a working writer what he thinks about critics is like asking a lamppost how it feels about dogs."
-- Christopher Hampton

Criticism is Life's truth. You must have seen George Bush's expression reacting calmly to journalists criticism. You must have seen Paki officials reacting on India's statement. Question is not in reacting on criticism, we need to see beyond it. Let's discuss the mindset between these two reactions. George Bush is well prepared to react to such critics. Paki's don't prepare but shown aggression in

the language of fight(Is this my criticism ?). George Bush react not to raise the issue further. Paki react to bounce the issue back to the opponent.

If nobody criticises you, it means you need to brainstorm yourself and work hard. If you are getting criticism contantly, means you are moving correcty. Criticisms are the checkpoints, you have to refuel your engine with it and take off immediately.

I have seen people don't do anything in fear of criticism. This should be avoided. One should always do their work without fear and with 100% honesty.


So whenever you listened to any criticism about you or about your known thing...just don't do anything...absolutely anything. Ignore it and you can interpret that you have not listened to it. Keep silence and let next 30 seconds pass without any comments from your side on the criticism.


Question is how to achieve this? Practice yourself to remain calm. Practice some Yoga and analyse your breathing this will help you to gather some patience during the hot discussion. Try to practice, closing your eyes and learn to see in the center of your eye and feel the darkness deep in your mind. Start practicing it for 30 seconds daily. Do it for 21 days. You will be able to face criticisms.

Ashwin Shende: Me and Web

Ashwin Shende: Me and Web

Me and Web

Last day I could not write post due to my busy scheduel with family. I missed you all. My mind was ordering me to write a post late night. But I managed to stop myselt and spent a quality time with my dears.Sometimes I feel my mind remain occupied with hell lot of works, but I hardly able to perform all.Internet facinates me. It calls me everytime. I cannot live without Internet. After getting Internet connection at Home, I started seeing dreams with open eyes about Internet. 

When I read someone's blog, my beliefs becomes strongs that I will achieve what I think. But what I think? I think I need to make a robust vision about leaving a life with Internet. For sure, that I am the optimizer in using the internet. 

I am learning the trends how people uses the internet. How they explore the world? How they make money? How the communicate with people? I am browsing the websites. Reading the mails. Internet is a long term game and I will play it.I haven't was many people specially in India dealing with internet daily except those who work in offices and check mails regularly. I want to cross this stage and jump high in such scenario. 

Browsing net becomes my daily activity and for me its the treasure where you met with guide like www.google.com. Thanks to google who has provided 'Everything' and gave platform for the tyros like us. Google can be rename as "Ocean". It sets the benchmarks for the others in a very short time. I came across many new terms like blog,bloglines,RSS feel,ad on blog,earning on post, linking blog,news feed,adsense,lot of ad sites, blogger,googlepages. I am sure there are lot of which I am not aware of. 

Dealing with Stress

Stress..............Beauty of nature destroys this six letter world. Man has a great capability to handle stress by his own. Most of the time he even don't come to know about it. Severity increases when he feels it deeple on the occasion where there is no surround sound around him. When you get such a feeling, something strikes suddenly and you feel a panic for something on which you dont have any control for next few days, months or years. You keep thinking about it and the 'solution' remain isolated delibarately so that stress dominates you somehow.

When you are talking on phone, reading an important file in office, dealing with colleagues, driving a car, taking bath, playing with kids near swimming tank, discussing with your parents, watching movies, playing rugby........everywhere stress remains with you and all the time it tells you and I am the integral part of you and we made for each other....I am sure most of us get such feeling ...........do you..........I do.....and to overcome it......I am sure.......you should not have be very skilled, you dont need stress tablets, you dont need your doctor with you or you dont need to make your citiscan all the time...all you need to digress yourself from that thought and bring a very gentle smile on your face and look up towards the sky and ask yourself.........I am the happest man on the earth...........God will definitely revert back to you suddenly and you will hear the voice..........Y E SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

Patience - Part 2

Patience, needed in this society, in this culture, in the community without which you will find the experienced political leaders and just talking nonsense on the television screens and in the public speech. Without patience soon you will find yourself in a soup and you inner voice will call you and you are in the wrong path, but your habits will prevent you and oppose you to remain where you are and do what you are doing. Patince is importance in every mother's heart, every fathers brain and soul and in every teachers approach. Mother's should cultivate it for their well beings of their daughters and son. Father's are needed it to wait for the output from their son for which he has invested the good amount of money living parsimoniously in the society. But how to cultivate it, what should I do to possess it in ourself. The question seem to be very common, the answer may also common but the implementation..........yes the implementation remain unique for each and every individual. As every human is special, he has his own way of thinking, his own style of living, his own way of finding solutions to the problem...hence cultivating patience may remain unique for each of them. One may switch off the TV, switch off the old gramophone, switch off the Radio and try to look deep into his heart, try to listen to what his inner heart is saying, try to find out the answer of the question he is facing. One may read books to find out how to get more patience while dealing with issue. One may watch the holy speech of the saints and holy speakers, one may visit the osho ashram and crux of this story is the S I L E N C E. Whatever you do, do it silently, do it calmly, go deep into your hearts. Let all the thought attack you suddenly in this silence like a stormy day in rainy season, close your eyes.........see this storm, feel it........and as a nature of storm you will find yourself standing inside the ocean walking on the water and a big smile will come on your lips and suddenly you will approach towards the solutions. You will move to the mirror, to observe this big smile and for the very first time, you will start liking yourselft. Feeling for proud will touch you quickly and first time you will come to know that yes you moved a little bit towards getting a feel of patience.......but remember its just a first step.......

LIFE IS TOUGH

Its been late now but cannot resist myself by writing this mail. Patienec is the utmost important factor in life. I have many people are blessed with great level of patience who can tolerate the ugliest and unlike things in their life with great smile on their face. These people should check their hemoglobin once in a week as they look so sweet while smiling. Psycologically, human express immediately positively or negatively on any action. but such high patience men are really reluctant to give any negative reactions on the worst things happening in their life. Take the latest example of George Bush, recently he was in Iraq to attend one press conference, and one iraqee has thrown a shoe to him suddenly. Bush was stunned for fraction of seconds but look at his patience, he smiled and replied, like nothing has happened to him. People having great dignity and great position generally shows thier high quality patience............

This man is none other than my best Friend Bhushan Ambadkar and as you guessed correctly, the lady beside him is Bhushan's wife, my bhabhiji Mrs. Rita Bhushan Ambadkar.

He has shown the perfect maturity towards a friends responsibility. He is Joy. He is life. His greatest passion is to collect old friends and blast in a party. This gentalman has one cute and sweet baby called Bhavik Bhushan Ambadkar. He supported me and my family like anything. He is a successful enthraprenuer in his town and deals with Security system. He has successfully installed his owned security system in almost all the branches of major banks in the state. He has the ability to resolve the issue of any kind. He is like God for some of the personalities. He is running 30 now but having the energy like 18. He is the man of words and perfect decision maker at toughest times. Hats off to his interpersonal skills with which he is keep on grabing the orders from new clients day by day and handling his business. He is the anchor of our show.

Day 3 - God.......! ! !

Today Ramesh rathod a 14yr child from our building, wind b, suffered from carbon monoxide problem in bathroom because of gas gyeser installed inside the bathroom. People hardly know the usage about any equipments they have to face such problems. Gas gyster releases carbon monoxide which cuts oxigen inside the bathroom and if you dont have your bathroom windows open, you may find yourself in a soup.

Issue is not the gyser but the lack of information. Building authority rather builder should understand such problems and should spread the awareness about the same. Othewise society people should gather to speread safety awareness. They should plan certain actions to be taken against this cause.


Expenses, Expenses and expenses...If you try to stop it. it will jump and get your pocket empty all the time. My all the attempts to manage it, failed. I feel helpless on this only issue. What certain step I should follow I dont understand. I cannot stop the expenses for my family, I cannot stop the expenses on my career growth, I cannot stop the expenses on recreation. I cannot stop myself watching electronics gadgets add on TV or in newspaper. Problems are getting worst. Huge EMI, lenders are always scrolling around my head. I want to pay them back at the earliest, but HOW?
what exactly needs to be done.? God give me strenght to resolve this issue...give me strenght.........

What I feel today about recession?

Situation is tough. Life seems to be hard now. As 2008 passed and left the marks of panic and insecurity. Mind need some peace but the tomorrows worry really eating it. What exactly will happen to this industry ? How long this recession will remain in india ? when will US will come out of this situation ? are just the questions and time is conceling the answers. If i would have time machine with me, I would difinitely go in june 2009 and would have see the real condiation.Indian economy seems to be ok but we the people working for us client, are really scared about the next 6 month future. Some of the team members laid off and future is uncertain. SME's are on leave and with what strategy they come back....dont know? will they keep the plan shut or will they again cut down the resources. Nothing can be done in this condition.........for the industry for the company ......for the contry........but for individual, we can difinitely keep abreast of ourself about our skill. Learn hard and be prepared for the coming future. There will be much positive time then it was. we should not see what is happening but keep oneself busy in learning the understanding the new things, new technologies, new languauges, collect new friends and go ahead. By doing this, you are ensuring that you are not loosing your valuable time and not getting panicked just by listening recession news and reading layoff news. Do at least one good thing in this recession time. Impress your manager with your skill and interest in project do something positive and don't stuck in typical mentality.
