Well,though I said I will be in hibernation state,I could not resist this post.
Because,this would be a very useful post all the windows-xp users out there!!!!
To be plain and simple,
It converts your xp interface into vista interface.
It is not like an ordinary theme you download.
It is a completely tranformation.
Welcome Screen / Logon Screen
New msstyles files (visual styles)
New desktop and file icons
New toolbar icons
Progress Dialogs
Sounds scheme
System Tray icons
New Wallpapers
Windows Media Player Skins
DESKTIOP- Before transformation
DESKTOP-Vista Tranformed interface 
Desktop Screenshot (It’s outstanding)
There is a sidebar called Thoosje sidebar which comes as a bonus with this tranformation pack.It is a very useful sidebar.You have many plugins into this sidebar.You do see the side bar in the above picture.Further,the thumbnails for each minimized window is a cool idea,I just love this transformation pack.
Why wait?just download and experience this tranformation.
Do you want to download this vista tranformation pack??
Once you download this 31.96 MB software and use it,you will accept my blog title definitely!!!

It all started when i wanted to partition the drives in my system....
I had a software called norton partition magic.
It can partition the drives without any data loss.
But while partitioning there was some error.
And all my data was lost.
That was ok,As I had my backups stored in dvds.
All went smoothly and i partitioned.
But then came the sad part...
When I restarted my system.
It displayed "NO OS INSTALLED.Press any key to continue".
Then what to do?
I had a recovery drive of my PC...
I inserted it.
It took 6 hours to recover.
Then I installed everything again.
With semester exams approaching,I am little busy.I will get back to my blog works soon....
I am now in a small state of hibernation.

An anagram is a type of word play, the result of rearranging the letters of a word or phrase to produce other words, using all the original letters exactly once.For example:
Eleven plus two=Twelve plus one
Astronomers=Moon Starers.
Dormitory=Dirty Room
Famous writers used anagrams in their story plot to make them interesting...
JK Rowling(Harry potter series)
Tom Marvolo Riddle=I am Lord Voldemort
And Dan Brown(The Davinci code)
So dark the con of man=Madonna of the Rocks
O Draconian devil, Oh lame saint.=Leonardo da Vinci, The Mona Lisa
used these anagrams in their respective books......
Then comes the pangram.
A pangram , is a sentence which uses every letter of the alphabet at least once. (All letters from A to Z are present atleat once).
For example,
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs.
They are interesting only when they are small and funny!!!!
And if you are a regular reader of my posts,you must have noticed that
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog,is a bug in the microsoft word.
When you type "=rand (200, 99)"and press enter you will see this pangram typed continously,for more than 100 pages!!!!!!.
Next I would like to introduce lipograms to you.
It is the opposite of pangram.
A lipogram is a kind of constrained writing of writing paragraphs or longer works in which a particular letter or group of letters is missing, usually a common vowel, the most common in English being e. A lipogram author avoiding e then only uses the 25 remaining letters of the alphabet.
For example,
This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it! In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out! Try to do so without any coaching!
It is interesting only when you construct lipograms avoiding the vowels.(A,E,I,O,U).
Writing a lipogram is an easy task for uncommon letters like Z, J, or X, but it is much more difficult for common letters like E.
Well-written lipograms are rare, providing a challenge to writers seeking challenges.
Now this is the last word play i would like to mention,the Letter bank.
This is my most favourite wordplay!!!
A letter bank is a type of anagram where all the letters of one word (the "bank") can be used as many times as desired (minimum of once each) to make a new word or phrase.
For example,
IMPS is a bank of MISSISSIPPI,
SPROUT is a bank of SUPPORT OUR TROOPS
Are you interested in wordplay?
Well,why wait?
start playing then..........
I am not an expert in ambigrams....i just know what they are....
An ambigram is a graphical figure that spells out a word not only in its form as presented, but also in another direction or orientation. The text can also consist of a few words, and the the text spelled out in the other direction or orientation is often the same, but can also be a different text.1.Rotational
A design that presents several instances of words when rotated through a fixed angle. This is usually 180 degrees, but rotational ambigrams of other angles exist, for example 90 or 45 degrees. The word spelled out from the alternative direction(s) is often the same, but may be a different word to the initially presented form. A simple example is the lower-case abbreviation for "Down", dn, which looks like the lower-case word up when rotated 180 degrees.
2.Mirror
A design that can be read when reflected in a mirror, usually as the same word or phrase both ways. Ambigrams that form different words when viewed in the mirror are also known as glass door ambigrams, because they can be printed on a glass door to be read differently when entering or exiting.
3.Figure-ground
A design in which the spaces between the letters of one word form another word
5.Fractal
A version of space-filling ambigrams where the tiled word branches from itself and then shrinks in a self-similar manner, forming a fractal. See fractal of the word TREE as an animated example.
6.3-dimensional
A design where an object is presented that will appear to read several letters or words when viewed from different angles.
7.Perceptual shift
A design with no symmetry but can be read as two different words depending on how the curves of the letters are interpreted.
A natural ambigram is a word that possesses one or more of the above symmetries when written in its natural state, requiring no typographic styling. For example, the words "dollop" and "suns" are natural rotational ambigrams. The word "bud" forms a natural mirror ambigram when reflected over a vertical axis. The words "CHOICE" and "OXIDE", in all capitals, form a natural mirror ambigram when reflected over a horizontal axis. The word "TOOTH", in all capitals, forms a natural mirror ambigram when its letters are stacked vertically and reflected over a vertical axis.
After this book's publication,awareness on ambigrams has increased.
Hope you find the ambigrams as interesting as I found them...
But beware!!!!once you start designing anagrams you become addicted to them.....
This particular joke won an award for the best joke in a competition organized in Britain and this joke was sent by an Indian......
An MBA and an Engineer go on a camping trip, set up their tent, and fall asleep.
Some hours later, the Engineer wakes his MBA friend.
"Look up at the sky and tell me what you see
The MBA replies, "I see millions of stars."
The Engineer asks "What does that tell you?"
The MBA ponders for a minute: "
Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.
Astrologically , it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Time wise , it appears to be approximately a quarter past three.
Theologically , it's evident the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant.
Meteorologically , it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you?" The Engineer friend is silent for a moment, and then speaks.

"Practically...it tells me that someone has stolen our tent".
Well I see this joke in a different perspective....
An MBA finds all possible answers for a solution...
An engineer finds the best possible answer for a solution....
I am proud to be an engineering student :-)
PS:
See it as a joke....I am not offending any MBA out there....

A White woman, about 50 years old, was seated next to a Black man.
Obviously disturbed by this, she called the air Hostess.
"Madam, what is the matter," the Hostess asked.
"You obviously do not see it then?" she responded.
"You placed me next to a Black man.I do not agree to sit next to someone from such a repugnant group.Give me an alternative seat."
"Be calm please, " the Hostess replied.
"Almost all the places on this flight are taken.I will go to see if another seat is available."
The Hostess went away and then came back a few minutes later.
"Madam, just as I thought, there are no other available seatsin the Economy class.I spoke to the Captain and he informed me that there no seat in the Business class.All the same, we still have one seat in the First class."
Before the woman could say anything, the Hostess continued:"It is not usual for our company to permit someone from the Economy class to sit in the First class.However, given the circumstances,the Captain feels that it would be scandalous to makesomeone sit next to someone so disgusting.
"She turned to the Black guy, and said,"Therefore, Sir,if you would like to, please collect your hand luggage,a seat awaits you in First class."
At that moment, the other passengers who were shocked bywhat they had just witnessed stood up and applauded.
Racism is the worst sin......
Support anti-racism!!!!
Actually I got this story as a forward mail,long back.
But the reason for me to post it now is the recently concluded ODI series between India and Australia....
Symonds a great all rounder(Australian)
Ecstatic Sreeesanth after dismissing Symonds
Mumbai Crowd making monkey taunts against Symonds
These incidents have sparked serious rivalry between India and Australia.
Like the rivalry between England and Australia.....

This is new rivalry in cricket....
But the source for this rivalry being Racism hurts me......
