Portable PC apps

noreply@blogger.com (Vivek) — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 10:13:00 +0000

It has been a long time since I posted something on the technical front.In this post I will some showcase some of the application which can be of great help to you. since these are portable i.e you don't need to install them , as they are executable files and are easy to use all are windows based apps.The four application I will show you are Double-driver , Everything , Express-burn & FastStone Capture.

DoubleDriver :
Sometime we formats the machines and due to some reasons we don't get the drivers especially in WindowsXP in some cases Windows7 too.So when we have all the drivers installed over the machine we can take their onetime backup and can restore them later this application is very handy at that time, have look on the screenshot.

Everything :

This application is my favorite one , over my PC , I have lots of, videos ,tools as well documents. So to search a specific file I need to search via the old windows search which consumes lots of time , but this application is more fast and you can say PC offline google search as you type it searches the files matching its name and extensions of files (*.xls ,*.doc,*.avi,*.divx etc), have a look at the screenshots.you can choose it to run on system startup by going into option ( Tools -->option -->Start Everything at startup).

ExpressBurn:
This one is a lightweight utility to burn CD (CD writing app) from NCH software. Unlike many like Nero and all which need to be installed and their setup is large i.e 100+MBs while this one is mere in few Kbs. And perform all important task a cd writing need to do have a look over the screenshot.

FastStone Capture:
This app is my favorite one all the screenshot you have seen are taken by this app , its all in one app take screenshot on the scroll , full-screen or the selection and can also record the voice and screen as video , have a look at the apps snaps.

Download these portable Apps from below link.

P.S : Hope you would have liked my app pick for this post and will gets your handon over them to check which you gets into your kitty of desirable.put your verdict via your sweet comments , will glad to answer and know if you have queries.

The Awakening

noreply@blogger.com (Vivek) — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 18:47:00 +0000

Image Source: http://telugudesam.org

A new perspective
toward life has evolved,
people life has changed,
A euphoria has been created.
Young has come of ages
from their trivial ways,
to a Gandhian platform
of non-violence
for a new beginning.

The nation
as a whole has awaken.
nation owe a lot to you,
we salute you Anna,
a true Gandhian of 21st century.

World too is witnessing,
the real people power
in worlds biggest democracy,
unity in diversity
a strong message given
to those doing politics
based on religion.

The bud is finally out
after fighting hard from
its encapsulation,
still miles to go,
for a better future,
of the present
and the generations to come
to experience and real Swaraj.

The waving tri-color

looks amazing and

feelings so great,
Slogans like

"Bharat Mata ke Jai"

"Inquilab Zindabad",
"Vande Matram"
truly displays the real BHARAT
(India , Hindustan)
Who we are ,
proud to be an Indian,
Thank you Anna,
for the awakening.

P.S : Today Anna Ended his fast on 13th day ( 28 Aug 2011).
        As Parliament passed the Jan Lokpal bill with both full
        house consensus.Now ball is the court of standing committee
        hope for the best, the real celebration will began
        thereafter.

The Sticky wicket

noreply@blogger.com (Vivek) — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 06:54:00 +0000

Yes you read and heard it right sticky wicket ,No I'm not in any such situation its the congress government finding themselves at the moment and not even able to make any clear decision ever since their supremo i.e remote control Sonia Gandhi is missing from the scene due to ill health.

Yesterday (Sunday) I went to INDIA gate to be a part of the rally against Corruption from India gate to Ramlila Maidan , its the second time I had been involved in a rally against the Govt and for a greater cause i.e corruption. 1st it was way back i.e 1997 , when at my present state ( Uttrakhand ) we were demanding for a separate state (from U.P) , I was in Doon city that time and studies were badly affected by the movement , even corfu was imposed in my native place (Srinagar Garhwal) , but after a substantial struggle we got a separate state after 2 yrs.

Rally gathering

Tri Color Everywhere

Rally Begins

Little Girl

People In Full flow

Kids also enjoying

In the morning yesterday , I along with my friend decided to go Ramlila maidan which we later changed after knowing about the rally at India gate at 5 Pm.
We arrived the venue half hour early though rally started a bit late i.e 5:30 PM.
The scene was amazing never seen such a huge gathering at such a short notice wherever we one see find people with tri-color flag and banners with lots of slogans and remarks Like " Sonia Gandhi get well Soon , Rahul gandhi Yuvaoon ke neta kha gaye eid ke Moon " , "Hu ha Hu ha ..K.S Chuha ..." , there were lots of other messages too. We both were holding a Banner written "Vande Matram " on it .this we borrowed it from other in the rally ..it was sudden didn't an later waved the Flag.
Its a great feeling ..that can only be felt and the +ve energy it encompassed and spread is amazing.
When we reached Ramila maidan it was almost 8:15 PM and the entry as long it can gets a long queue.

Finally entered the Ground and found major part of it was muddy. finally reached near near Anna where he was addressing us , that we will not give up till last breath, its our pledge and we will do it for our Nation.

Huge

Anna Speaking

As corruption is concern , I had two instances of corruption in recent times 2008 and 2009 , in 2009 my mobile phone was stolen while I was travelling back to office , to get a duplicate sim and blocking the SIM I had to get a FIR copy from police , all behaved well , except the person who was supposed to sign it for further logging into the police record but he said , it won't be possible today as there are lots of application pending, he was clearly asking for the bribe to get it signed , since all other staff supported , but I didn't gave him a penny and went to the officer that he is not signing and finally got it done.
It was coming back from Mumbai via train I didn't got my ticket confirmed it was RAC and was very busy and late to check the status online , So took any of random seat T.T came and checked and then he asked come over here , yours is RAC ..if you want to get a seat give me Rs 500 I will arrange for a seat.. I said ok fine will give 1st give me seat, I will give you the money no worry but as I got seat I didn't gave him a penny ..he was rounding there many time and I just keep ignoring him and giving him a stare like ..WHAT ...? . and I never give him , why I would be anyway giving no ways.

I had been supporting this movement from the very begining i.e 5th April 2011. Many people I found and heard of opposing it and saying such agitations are not of any significance.which means , that they have given-up hope and also the basic fundamental rights to express and peacefully protest the Gandhian way in democracy.
Its been 42 years since this law was suggested but it never got through , as some corrupt MPs ( eg: Lalu yadav , Amar singh) don't want it to pass and so it has been pending from so long.
If we don't realise its critical importance to the Nation then we doing one of the Most Dangerous mistake of our generation which the next gen will definetly Question us about.
Its suprising to hear that activitist , author Arudhaty roy is not in favour of Anna and the lokpal bill. I don't understand what she is looking upto then ..how the voices will be heard.
A 74 year old a true Gandhian has got the guts to challenge the govt and it was he who put and made the govt to make so many silly mistakes and now whole country is connecting themself to him one on one..in sync.
Corruption is like a dirty cloth , which if washed on time will be easy and look good then when its used and used and never washed and when washed never give any impression it was ever washed.
Our state is also same ..it we something we have to act ..and get it done smartly.
As said great are not those who blame others and make their ways to top but those who accept it and take failure as a lesson of life and take it as a stepping stone for further progress.
7 days of fast and governments still stands arrogantly , its time to act for them or face the anger of the people.

Meanwhile the NPRI activist Aruna roy (also a member of NAC) and team has filed a different version of Lokpal , which I don't support , only one point on PM i.e inclusion subject to some condition which I can take as add-on to Jan Lokpal and nothing else.
I would like to know your point of view on this. So I can see and asses how the blogging world is looking and reacting to it.

P.S : I Wants to write on the day i.e Sunday itself but got very tired and slept. Yesterday(Monday) I thought of writing but light played the spoil sport, coming and going , at last today morning I got some respite to do my deed.

Unhinged Mind

noreply@blogger.com (Vivek) — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 06:33:00 +0000

Trying hard to connect

with inner self one on one

but failing miserably.

A vacuum created within,

every time confuses,

demands,

and further eludes

me of my goal.

What I want or like

it never listens,

instead looks at

illusive celluloid things

out of bound.

Are these signs

of a transformation?.

Even heart is saying trust me,

but unhinged mind is making

buzz these days ,

without any clear signs,

killing me silently.

P.S : Now a days my mind is really out of order don’t know what to do.

So looking to find a solution.

Though this is my 100^th post never thought it will come this way,

but that’s the reality of our lives which is very uncertain , what’s

there in store for us no one knows ,we all knows it belatedly.

The Soul

noreply@blogger.com (Vivek) — Sun, 24 Jul 2011 19:44:00 +0000

I want to be in your garden

of sea and sky
at dawn to walk the soul.

Desires line by line
to the heart
to be wing
in wind wave
to live in
Aurora outfield.

I joined hands
laboriously
to save you
from the sun.

Soaking the green
of your tree to make poetry
to run like a nectar of flower.

The world is joining hand
against terrorism ,
and a poet's soul
is looking for garden of friends poems,
with Silence and solitude,
saying hate , cry and hunger
will be paid with love
love and only love .

Do not fail to deliver
bouquets of poems,
before the abyss of hate
pray for peace
and embrace the light.

P.S : Hi friends , this post I wrote last Thursday night (composed after I had lots of thoughts after reading some of the posts of fellow bloggers on numerous topics), but I was feeling dizzy and sleepy and the very next day ..I got viral fever still its revolving within me , hope to get fine soon , but if that was not enough ..I got my specs lens broken in washroom :( .. but now made new one , though a bit costly but this time of fiber :)..one of the..most expensive weekend ..of 2011 LOL.

Summer Heat

noreply@blogger.com (Vivek) — Sat, 16 Jul 2011 08:41:00 +0000

Pic src : www.markbowles.com

The sun
is wrapping in heat
the colors of the earth.

In the singing concert
of the sun-heated meadow
a bee
is gamboling among flowers.

A black bird
over the golden corn
is drifting like a cloud
with a rainy wing
will fly over the horizon.

leaves Trembling hands
are whispering their prayers
before the storm.

P.S : HI friends , I was really busy from last 2 months , finally I got sometime to come back to the blogosphere. thanks for visiting , though I was not here So I left a background song for you, hope you enjoyed it. willl be reading your posts shortly.

First blogger interview

noreply@blogger.com (Vivek) — Sat, 18 Jun 2011 21:07:00 +0000

Hi Friends , hope you are having a great weekend. Today I was looking over my blog to read some of my own writing in between them I found I missed something , yes this interview which I forgot to post over here.

One of my fellow blogger Mehreen took my below interview for (Friends Meetup Party) where she selected my post Thank you ! as "Super Blogger of the Week".

1) Hi Vivek! I'm intrigued by your blog title, "Friend's Kitchen". What does it mean to you?

Well blogging and this very title happened to me by chance, its my friend who helped me choosing this title and introduced me to blogging world.

Friends Kitchen means a lot to me , a space for friends to share and express and ask if they have any queries( from Information Technology perspective or other area) ,its always been a pleasant experience so far in resolving some of the friends queries , its simply like a kitchen where we put our thoughts to make brilliant dishes and acquire different perspective and practice to make ourself better in life's progression. After all life itself is a practice to enhance our inner- self for the better future.

2) What makes your blog different from the rest and what do you enjoy most about blogging?

Frankly speaking, I never write with a thought to make my blog look different, I think what one write 1st should sound good with self then others will also like it, so I just try to write whatever thoughts keep coming to my mind and whenever alone or sad I look back to them to relive those moments again.
On the reactions I get from friends, 1st the title itself people often ask me about , why such name Friends Kitchen? Secondly I think my experimentation with blog design quite often.
The most important thing I love about blogging is the freedom of expression, and this make me came across some of the wonderful blogger and the inspiration they give me is amazing.

3) That sure is amazing! Where do you find inspiration for your posts?
Well inspiration of my post comes from my life experience, nature, friends, people around, family, you fellow bloggers and your lovely comments which inspires me, otherwise I won’t be here in 1st place, if my friend wouldn’t have introduced me here.
Initially it was tough to write as I was more comfortable to write over diary then over open space , blogging changed the way I think to be open-up enough to share what inside that’s outside, thereafter it was a smooth sailing till now.

4) We'd love to read some of your stuff Vivek. Please share your three favorite posts with us.
It’s a very tough call to choose three post as every post is special to me. Following three are my favorite post which has essence of my blog in totality (eeh sorry, rest of the posts).
1) Goodbye
2) With Love for All
3) The Ultimate Desire - A fantasy

Thank you Mehreen for choosing me as "Super Blogger of the Week".

P.S : My Interview was taken long back i.e 2 months back, but I keep on forgetting to post it finally today I posted it.

Lessons Learnt

noreply@blogger.com (Vivek) — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 06:40:00 +0000

Learning is a endless process which always keeps us ticking and in the process we do makes lots of mistakes and learn from them thereafter. Do you think we need to do something special to gaze them no we don't we all learn from ppl and other living creatures around us the only thing required is the undying hunger to learn. I'm sharing some of the lessons I learned from my pet.

1. Play the hand: Some of us are born into the lap of luxury; others are not. Some of us come Auto-programmed for joy, and some are less inclined toward it. Some of us are nurtured magnificently, and some are nearly ignored. Lucky was adopted when she was two. You might think she'd be sullen, unable to trust, or stuck with a bit of a chip on her canine shoulder. Not so. she was a happy little girl who seems to demonstrate that it's not what you've been given that counts-it's who you become and what you do with what you've got!

2. Be Your Self: When we adopted Lucky, we almost forgot to ask her name. The clerk rolled his eyes and said, "It's Softy, but we'd change it to Lucky, if I were you." We soon learned that this miniature white poodle was anything but Lucky. She's athletic, funny, social, and uninhibited. Possibly, she's not even a purebred poodle. The name Lucky suits her well and she sports a pony tail. No matter what others think you should be like, it's always best, to be your true self.

3. Master the basics , Eat, sleep, exercise, and connect: Lucky was never too busy to eat, too distracted to sleep, or too tired for a walk. Nor does she ever turn down an opportunity to connect. Her wagging-tail greetings, sloppy kisses, and ability to land smack in the middle of the nearest lap , escorting to the bed and sometime sleeping inside the quilt in winter are all powerful statements of just how basic the need to connect really is. And yet, in today's 24/7 world, it is often easy to forget that family and friends are actually nourishment, and a major contributor to a sense of well-being.

4. Explore : Ever curious, and smart as whip, Lucky always seems ready to explore new territory. she'll happily learn new "tricks," check out new critters, climb hills, or give new poses to get the attention. In life, the choice is ours: play it safe and embrace the status, or face the unknown and continue to grow. lucky would give thumps up to "Stretch."

5. Make each day great: Spontaneously, Lucky will tear through the house, barreling at a breakneck speed. Or she might unexpectedly drop her rubber football at my feet, signaling it's time for a game of fetch. When she comes in from a walk, she sits patiently, "asking" for her treat.
Do what you love, ask for what you want, and seize opportunities as they appear. Don't wait for joy to come to you; instead, seek it out every day.

P.S : It has been a long gap since I posted something over this very space , I missed it due to my engagement over a project out of town, which took most of my time , coming to hotel in evening in exhausted state ..sleep and music were two best pals to give company. Hope you all having a great time ..will be reading yours post shortly. Thanks for stopping by and leaving comments.I'm getting lazy this summer ..trying to get into rhythm.

Sound Musing

noreply@blogger.com (Vivek) — Sat, 07 May 2011 19:10:00 +0000

The head rolls
and madness goes through.

Confused muses
draw on their axis.
Charmers dances
cover the agony of wild beasts.

Faded continents.
deal groans
crumble the sea.

Discharge of golden glow
sound and light flying
toward the virgin forest.

And nothing of calm
I sink my subterranean hand
in the in-edited
stave of your body
In mortal residence birds are singing.
Planetary Warren
subtle flesh to the winds
sound musing.

I settles down
against the time
and wait for the
arrival of a new day.

P.S : Friends thanks for voting on my previous post disqus-vs-intensedebate , finally I'm putting Intensedebate over my blog.

DISQUS vs IntenseDebate : A Poll

noreply@blogger.com (Vivek) — Mon, 02 May 2011 10:29:00 +0000

I'm Putting a Poll do vote so I can add the best one. I'm adding IntenseDebate now have a look and poll.
Thanks

P.S : I want to add a commenting plugin to make it a discussion type thread.

Its time to move on

noreply@blogger.com (Vivek) — Sun, 01 May 2011 06:09:00 +0000

In life we come accross lots of troubles and most of them we handle quite well but getting over someone whom you know and devoted all your time for months or even years is not around you anymore , its not a walk in a park. Undergoing the process of denial after the break-up is one of the most critical phase ,the depression and anger is narural but sulking in yourself in a room or alone for a longer period then normal, while watching the world passing you by isn't healthy at all, wake up and tighten your screws to move on. We must try to follow some basic during this phase.

Cry: We must come in terms with reality and express it that you are sad and depressed , there is no point in hiding it from the world and most importantly from your own-self.lock yourself in room and cry out all the anger and hurt , by

venting out you will definitely feel a bit lighter.
Write: When feeling low , we must write our emotional front, either over a diary or blog,by doing so we give our self-esteem a boost, and pain within get relieved somewhat.
Talk to a friend : When in a confused state and pain , its always good to talk to your best friend , about your heartbreak over a drink or a cup of tea /coffee is a great catharsis , which soothe our soul.
Don't Listen to Love Songs: As we know love songs tends to stir our emotional side , so try not to listen.You will end up feeling like a complete loser and that's the last ting you won't like to happen.
Keep yourself busy: Try to do things that you neglected to do because you were busy with with someone else before. Try to finish the old pending project you have undertaken and on-going,read the novel. Do all the things you want to do before but were just pending because of time constraint. Organize a out of town trip with your friends or try hosting a friends get together, be with positive people and absorb positive vibes.
Reminisce: Head toward a Spa , gym or even to a parlour for a complete makeover , to a break-up sometime a perfect hair-cut can do wonders. Tell yourself , enough is enough no more you and sulking days. Its unfair for you to see him/her happy while you are still there in your room wallowing in despair.
Give yourself a treat and stop looking miserable.Try to be in present then the past , which is gone and dead now and new life is knocking your door to explored,experience different facets of life to meet with someone special again for a lifetime.
Hope cost nothing , yet at the same-time its precious , so be positive and hopeful, life do posses miraculous ability to turned the state upside down.
Don't be negative towards love , that once you get deceived its won't workout again no be positive always and be a firm believer love will find inroads in your life soon.

P.S : Just want to share the state of which anyone can be a victim. your comments over it will greatly help others to get a perspective toward life.

Blog disaster management some tips and tricks

noreply@blogger.com (Vivek) — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 21:06:00 +0000

Dear Friends,

Good News is that I had finally fixed the ongoing issue with my blog ,post were getting unusual link.
It just happened on weekend that I happened to experimented with my blog comment section , and end-up deleting the posts and comments after taking the backup and then the real issue arise of putting blogs as well comments section in place.
I asked many blog masters in this regard and also google about it , but all went in vein as all suggested to create a new blog and import the blogger XML , but what about the followers , yes followers can't be exported to another blog if you delete the existing one create new one with the same name.
So I didn't pick this option and again looked for the some breakthrough , lastly I got some smile as I got a reply from fellow blogger Peter and gave me the Link of one of his post on recovering the deleted post. So I keep touch with him to resolve it.

But this only resolved the Post and followers , now comments were the issue as after recovery there is zero comments.
After running the brain horses, I tested the third party comment widget feature DISQUS today over the test blog and it worked i.e I had the comment synchronised over DISQUS and it worked like wonders, though old post will show Zero comments but actually this Widget will show all previous comment if any visitor click to comment.
It was a great learning curve with this experimentation of me , I downloaded the XML editor and other log tools I normally uses which came handy.
So before everything goes over your head I will let you know , what to do when something went wrong or you deletes your blog accidentally ( not like mine doing intentionally ;) lol).
Few things always keep in mind

1) Always keep a backup of the posts as well template on a regular basis before making any changes to it.
2) Use third party comments integration tool like DISQUS and Intensedebate for better reply to individual comments in a threaded manner.
3)Never change the post title once published (1st decide then write), why ? because once you post over your blog a PostID is generated against it with the time-stamp over it so if we modify it we get another URL and PostID as well , which also makes it lagging behind in Google search or sometime will never come-up too.
4)Never give-up keep on trying , that's what I always do and most of the time its sweet.
5)use some search engine pinging service like PINGOMATIC to put our post in the search engines top searches to get our blog some visitors apart from sweet blog followers :).

So when we publishes a post over our blog with some keywords, 1st we get visitor secondly we also get in web cache of search engine and thereafter can browse the content even we don't have live link available how just, take any of the post URL paste it over Google and search it you will see something like below. click images to enlarge !.

if its deleted and inactive post , you can browse else you have it in cache after clicking it will show the date and time it was last updated.

life is a blessing

full of suprises,

I have known only this

but never felt it.

my life has been both

Sunny and Blue,

but in between both

there is my blessing

to have a friend like you

you never asked what I need

you just did it for me.

Of all my blessings,

this one is the best

you my best friend

I can't ask for more.

To have a friend like you,

In hardship,

I simply appreciate

your dauntless spirit

like flowers of the field,

trampled and trampled

by strong winds and rain

but still blooms,

delighting and soothing

all who sees

Sometimes it's better

to put love into words

than into hugs.

I would say

just be this way always

keep on smiling.

P.S : I have been awarded as "Super Blogger of the Week" by my fellow blogger Mehreen from the perfect line fame for Friends Meetup Party, this poem is my dedication towards it. Happy Easters wishes to all fellow bloggers , have a great weekend enjoy :).

Bemused Heart

noreply@blogger.com (Vivek) — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 12:02:00 +0000

Who are you looking for, poor heart
Wonderingly staring at nothing?
I know the sweet dream is finished,
Vanished, it will never be back again.

Who are you looking for?
The little girl,
whom you spoke to of love,
was nothing but a false color,
dissolved in the reality.

You found her down there,
down that dark alley,
with her head leaning
on a wall greenish for dampness.

Do you recall?
she told you, she told you..
but you spoke to her of love
and she gave you her heart
by crying with Joy.

That very small face,
that blond hair,
those looks,
those eyes,
who can forget?

You want to talk with those beautiful,
wide shining eyes,
those eyes are lifeless now,
gazing upon eternity.

P.S : This poem is for today's Friends Meetup Party a space for bloggers to express and share their views.. feeling etc ;).

one sided affair

noreply@blogger.com (Vivek) — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 20:19:00 +0000

From last few weeks I had been into a different Zone, the pain zone. Yeah you heard it right. Pain which is killing me softly, this Wednesday I went to a dentist for checkup, as one of my Jaw teeth was paining.
I didn't have an appointment, as I decided all of a sudden in evening while coming from office.
My turn was last, it was kind of boring no time pass, what to do...hmm then opened by cell and started Facebook chat and asked some of my friend about it ,since it was my maiden visit to a dentist ; so it’s kind of unpredictable what gonna be the course of activity I will go through.
As some sounds of drilling machine were very much audible in the reception, I was scared...and wished I will not go through this process.
It was quite a wait of 40 Minutes approx and during this I spoke and get some insight of it from friends online.
When I entered into room, I saw dentist was a girl ...a bit relax thinking she will examine me calmly then their counterpart.
The torcher process started lights on, she asked to open the mouth, then with a magnifying lens she ticked over my teeth and it pained liked anything.
then other instruments, and after checking it I was told there is a cavity and infection, she told me it will cost you 2k and 2 more sittings after today, you teeth will be ok, I said just do it, It has been 3 weeks since I'm deprived of having ice-cream and juice and life has become a one-sided affair, so just do it.
The special drilling machine was out, a bit scary though.. (don’t know what they call it) and some sharp pins, slowly gradually the machine was inserted into mouth and then the actual pain begun, it was paining like anything. When it pains I close my mouth, she says don't close the mouth keep it open...I was in a state of slave..Who can just lay down with mouth remains intact in the state as it was asked to be.
I read lots of articles about dentist in the school days which looked quite same to same in the experience.

After that It was around 9:30 PM and I was also given a list of medicines including pain killers. My lips were swollen and dentist said 2 more sitting and you will be fine.My 2nd one is on this Saturday and next one next week.
Hope no more pain...only ice ice cream.. ;).

P.S : Today I regret the day when I was trying to crack the walnut with my teeth instead of walnut one part of teeth get out that time I didn't take it seriously but slowly gradually it has become a cavity :(.Today in the second half I have got 2nd sitting ..hope it don't pain much.

Long Gone : Beautiful Lyrics and video

noreply@blogger.com (Vivek) — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 19:40:00 +0000

Today evening while browsing my blog I checked over "Talk To Me" , and found a music video link and after watching , I really liked its lyrics , a song by Chris Cornell from his Album SCREAM.

Lyrics

Baby

I used to watch your flowers grow

Now it's raining and all your petals turns to stone

I've been praying

I turn around and see my rose

But you faded

You left me now it's time to go

You're like a diamond and I'm like glass

Like oil and water we always clash

Sometimes my confessions are hard for me

I'll tell you now I'm setting you free

That's why I'm long gone, long gone

You need to let me fly alone

That's why I'm long gone, long gone

It may be to late our time is done

Baby

I think you've got your timing wrong

Hating

Exploring this while we're riding on

And it's crazy to think that I could be reborn

If you saved me

Now it's to late and you'll never know

You're like a diamond and I'm like glass

Like oil and water we always clash

Sometimes my confessions are hard for me

I'll tell you now I'm setting you free

That's why I'm long gone, long gone

You need to let me fly alone

That's why I'm long gone, long gone

It may be to late our time is done

With broken wings

I can't fly

I'm gonna need you to save me, angel of mine

With broken wings

I can't fly

I'm gonna need you to save me, angel of mine

That's why I'm long gone, long gone

You need to let me fly alone

That's why I'm long gone, long gone

It may be to late our time is done

You're like a diamond and I'm like glass

Like oil and water we always clash

Sometimes my confessions are hard for me

I'll tell you now I'm setting you free.

Feeling deep inside of me

noreply@blogger.com (Vivek) — Sun, 27 Mar 2011 04:48:00 +0000

Here we go tonight again

lost all control,

find that inside of me,

and I don't know what you doing to me,

because we are in love,

my heartbeat is out of control over me.

I came here tonight,

try to hide deep inside of me,

this feeling is screaming to be free,

here we sat on the roof top,

the love is hard to stop,

just once just once,

you telling me take my hand,

I'm going to love you

just once just once loving you.

In your eyes where I swim

I see you smile,

and I know I'm home again

feel your touch ,

you were running brain,

there is no chance that

everyone will leave this lovely place.

I tried to hide deep inside of me,

this feeling is screaming to be free,

here we sat on the roof top

the love is hard to stop.

Just once just once

you telling me take my hand

I'm going to love you

just once just once you tell me,

take control

I'm going to love you

don't let it go

because you holding in your hand

my heart and soul.

Here we sat on the roof top,

the love is hard to stop,

just once just once,

you telling me take my hand,

I'm going to love you,

just once just once you tell me,

take control,

I'm going to love you,

don't let it go,

because you holding in your hand,

my heart and soul.

Just once just once loving you.

P.S : This is my second attempt on writing a song lyrics.

my 1st one is O MY LOVE,hope you like it.

Turbulence

noreply@blogger.com (Vivek) — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 15:29:00 +0000

Year started with nice understanding

slowly things fall in place

a sudden turbulence resulted in distances

and known become unknown.

Tried to clear air,

but mirror once broken is hard to mend,

cracks of which still haunts.

A change in life progression,

make one think, there is lot to explore

we must keep walking

trough turbulence of life

depends totally on our approach.

To or away its a purely ones choice

a very independent life

takes a upside down turn

to staighten enough to look and live

at present moment and enjoy,

but not to forget after every brisk walk

there is a resting phase,

to explore untapped potential

and initialise ourselves for a greater cause,

then lost ourselves in web of thoughts.

After-all at year end some positives

will elude hardship of the past

and get bathed in the aura of

spontaneous emission of positive vibes

toward and around for love peace and harmony.

COLORBOX : A perfect Lightbox for Sites

noreply@blogger.com (Vivek) — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 15:44:00 +0000

It has been a while since I posted something over Blogspot , actaully I was working over my blog template design and tweaking over its loading time as well as some other codes and widgets which were making it load slower.
I was looking for a tool which can give vistor a great browsing user experience over the site.

After searching over google I shortlisted three tools ,Colorbox
Lightview and Lightbox out of these 3 after working and testing it over my template I found success in 2 Jquery enabled Lightwight Lightboxes i.e lightbox2 and Colorbox. Out of both I like colorbox , as its easy and very much flexible.

Now if you are wondering what I'm talking about , then click over my profile picture or Header picture , you will get a image in a BOX not in the other page. So the main point is to do work on the same page.
The good thing is it doesn't reloads your page again , which is quite annoying at times when we have slow internet access.

More over it give you a better way to browse images and you can also do a slideshow with this Colorbox and even can add external blogger link or video embedding etc and its very easy nothing to much.
So the main advantage of this is on site loading which is faster, content access gets easier, bandwidth is consumed less.

I have hosted the scripts over my google site page so no issue of slow google performance.To do all the Above I will show you step by step implementation.

Step 1 : Goto Blogger Dashboard ---> click " Design".
Step 2 : Click over " Edit HTML".
Step 3 : Click on "Download Full template" To be on the safer side if any error comes,so it can reversed.
Step 4 : Check "Expand Widget Templates".
Step 5 : Search for </head> tag in your blog template
Step 6 : Copy the Below code above </head> tag.

<link href='http://sites.google.com/site/vivekchamoli/home/test-for-scripts/colorbox.css' media='screen' rel='stylesheet'/>

<script src='http://sites.google.com/site/vivekchamoli/home/test-for-scripts/jquery.min.js.txt' type='text/javascript'></script>

<script src='http://sites.google.com/site/vivekchamoli/home/test-for-scripts/jquery.colorbox.txt' type='text/javascript'></script>

<script>

$(document).ready(function(){

//Examples of how to assign the ColorBox event to elements

$("a[rel='example1']").colorbox();

$("a[rel='example2']").colorbox({transition:"fade"});

$("a[rel='example3']").colorbox({transition:"none", width:"75%", height:"75%"});

$("a[rel='example4']").colorbox({slideshow:true});

$(".example5").colorbox();

$(".example6").colorbox({iframe:true, innerWidth:425, innerHeight:344});

$(".example7").colorbox({width:"80%", height:"80%", iframe:true});

$(".example8").colorbox({width:"50%", inline:true, href:"#inline_example1"});

$(".example9").colorbox({

onOpen:function(){ alert('onOpen: colorbox is about to open'); },

onLoad:function(){ alert('onLoad: colorbox has started to load the targeted content'); },

onComplete:function(){ alert('onComplete: colorbox has displayed the loaded content'); },

onCleanup:function(){ alert('onCleanup: colorbox has begun the close process'); },

onClosed:function(){ alert('onClosed: colorbox has completely closed'); }

});

//Example of preserving a JavaScript event for inline calls.

$("#click").click(function(){

$('#click').css({"background-color":"#f00", "color":"#fff", "cursor":"inherit"}).text("Open this window again and this message will still be here.");

return false;

});

});

</script>

Now I will demonstrate how you can add Image , Video , External website access within your blog post , have a look at the below examples.

Image :

Code :

<a href="http://www.chromeplugins.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Chrome-Browser.jpg" rel="example1" title="Google Chrome"><img style="width: 150px; height: 150px;" alt="Google Chrome" src="http://www.chromeplugins.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Chrome-Browser.jpg" />

External Website :
Outside Webpage (Iframe)

Code:

<a class="example7" href="http://google.com/">Outside Webpage (Iframe)</a>

Video

Flash / Video (Iframe/Direct Link To YouTube)

Code:

<a class="example6" href="http://www.youtube.com/embed/IVenCN5-9Z8" title="Jordan Spark: Freeze">Flash / Video (Iframe/Direct Link To YouTube)</a>

These were some examples , hope you like it , do let me know if you have any queries.

P.S : All Credit goes to Jack Moore the creator of Colorbox.

Valentine

noreply@blogger.com (Vivek) — Sun, 13 Feb 2011 18:00:00 +0000

Trying to find a connect

who we are, where we belongs to

suddenly a thought comes

its not we its us

Its a great day,

full of surprises

some gets smile,

some thumbs down

why its so unfair

one in pub ,

other in tub.

Conspiracy of sure hands,

heart's dreams tucked

tidily into a charmed box of hope

its Valentine budding again

marked with rose petals sentiments

scented with thoughts of you

Happy valentines day.

P.S : Happy Valentine's Day to all my friends.
