A poem

I am bad when it comes to poems that too specially in english.. but here is a small poem i came up with today...

they say, life is this and life is that
i think it is what you give and get...

they say, life is there in Gandhi's deed
i see, life is also there in Hitler's greed...

they say, Life is there in God's idol, made of clay..
but I saw life in poor child's foodless day..

they say life is simple, just sitback and relax..
i now know its all about you and your Acts.

they say life is in what you are and what you got, too
but, Finally I realized life is actually what i am going through..

A problem is preventing Windows from accurately checking the license for this computer. Error code: 0x8007000 : Solved

Recently i was fixing somebody's pc. which was giving the above error whenever i tried to boot normally.. However i was able to boot in safe mode with command prompt. This error actually drove me nuts. But finally as always i found the solution.

This usually occurs when these three files are missing or corrupted...

C:\Windows\System32\secupd.dat
C:\Windows\System32\oembios.dat
C:\Windows\System32\oembios.bin

So what you need to do is..

Copy this files from some other Computer having XP installed. or you can also copy them from Windows installation disk. To copy from windows disk you need to do following

1. Boot in safe mode with command prompt : to do that press F8 after the display of your bios.

2. Once you are done. insert windows installation disk and browse to the I386 folder copy the file with extension XXXXX.XX_ where XXXX.XX is the file name with first 2 letters of the extension. Rename it to a .cab file and extract the file to system32.

that means rename the file oembios.DA_ by oembios.cab...

3. reboot and you are done..

If this doesn't work.. let me know...!!

Honesty

I came across a weird incident today. It was weird because it was like excitement, joy, disappointment, and guilt everything mixed in one pack..

So one of my friend who knows that i am quite good at computers told me that his old neighbor was having some problem with his PC. i told him i could help him but i would take 100 bucks, market rate is 300 bucks by the way..!! now lemme clarify that i told him about the money just because i didn't want to be available all the time... I mean there are a lot of people who call me when they need technical assistance in this sort of things but i don't want to be doing it for free always, considering my relations with people i just get things done with the fees of one "thank you" but sometimes its to much... Right now i have three CPU boxes at my place which i am suppose to repair with no fees whatsoever.. So coming back to the point, for the first time i went to this person's home with intention of making money, which was "exciting"..I took a look at  PC, and the only solution according to my knowledge was reinstalling the entire operating system which would take almost an hour, and furthermore i would have required to install all the softwares again. I tried to figure out an alternate and appropriate solution with no luck which was "disappointing". meanwhile another person whom Mr.Rana(the person with Problem PC) had called two days before for the same problem, came. He didn't come for two days therefore Mr. Rana had called me... this late lateef person is a professional hardware engineer, he didn't really have any degree, but his father taught me everything related to PC..he is distant relative of Mr. Rana so he gets things done for free, the only problem is that he is never not time...anyways he told me the solution is just a small trick... I just let him do it and he did it in no time... here came the "guilt" of not being able to do it... afterwards when i was leaving the house Mr. Rana handed me 100 bucks, i resisted realizing that i wasn't the one who solved the Error but he still put it in my pocket saying it was for my efforts... Here comes the "joy" you get when people appreciate you no matter you succeeded or not.....


Thank you Mr. rana, it was pleasure meeting you!! I am gonna save this 100 bucks always..

Issue : intex speakers doesn't play songs from USB...Solved..!!!

So just now one of my cousin called me and said his Intex speaker has stopped playing Music from his USB pen drive... He told me that his speaker's USB port might have stopped working.  So i tried to figure out the solution.. and found it...This problem might occur if you are trying to play your media files from the Pen drive which is formatted as NTFS... the reason is that these Intex speakers are not able to access files in NTFS format, you need to change the format of your pendrive to more simple formats such as FAT or FAT32... So Follow these steps and you will be enjoying your Songs again...

1. Determine the format of your pen drive if it is NTFS or FAT...to do that insert pen drive to PC and right click the drive of USB.. select properties from there.. you will see something like this...


2. If it is NTFS than you need to change it to FAT.. for that Right click again and select format.. and format as FAT... it will look something like this... Remember to take backup before formatting..

3. again copy songs to your pen drive and Enjoy... its working again..

An Image..!

I clicked this image on my way to Ajmer from train window. And somehow this image is very special for me. It gives me calming and soothing vibes...its so awesome when you are looking out of the window looking at things running backwards...!

When i see this image i feel how crowded place we live in. whenever i get out of my house i see people walking, running for their works. Nobody has time for true life.. Globalization has made us more than busy and the time we get is just spent on facebook etc... i asked myself what was the last time i went to my neighbours to say "Hi", what was the last time i told my mom "I love you", what was the last time i had a long log conversations with my friends apart from Fb and Texts... the answer is quite a long time ago...

Just look at this place in the image, i cant see a single person till the horizon.... I  wish i could forget everything and live somewhere like this...!!

Nokia s40 V5 lost memory card password issue...!!

Well before few days i gave my nokia 5130 to this friend who accidentally locked the memory card with a password (i never kept the password btw) and he was dumb enough to not remember it.. i got the phone back only to see that memory card was no longer accessible without the password...

I went to the local harware repair shop, where the person told me he could do it but it will format my memory card which i didnt want to.. i saved it for my last choice...
I searched for this online with no luck, but luckily i knew that this passwords are stored in s40v5 in pm files of phone system.. and so i googled some technical term combinations and woha... i got it.. so all you need to get the phone Unlocked is....
1 Nokia PC suite
2 Nemesis Service suite (NSS)
3 Data cable ( obviously )

Steps :
1. Connect your phone in PC Suite mode
2. Open Nemesis Service suite (NSS)
3. Then click on scan for new devices button (top right side)
4. Click "phone info".
5. Now Click "Scan"
6. Select Permanent Memory.
7. Click on Read.

8. It will read the permanent memory file and save it on the disk at following path.
C:\Program Files\NSS\Backup\pm\<IMEI>.pm
9. Open the .pm file using Notepad.
10. Now scroll until field [308], and on the 5th Record (5=) your security code is saved at there.
11. Like 5=
31323334350000000000
12. Remove all  alternate "3" digits and it will be 31323334350000000000
13. 123454 is your security code.

This method definitely works for symbian operating system phones.. i have tested it and i am glad i did..!!!

What the hell is all these?

People have problems with the way you are as if its their own life which is being affected by the things you do.. well at least they think so. i never chose to be like this, the same way they never chose to be like that. when i say this and that that doesn't mean i mean something bad or good.. i am just generalizing things. the place where i live is just so weired i have been living here since i was like 2 but never understood it.. i am not saying its bad or anything but the people here are just to weired... i have never been able to make friends here except two or three. i just dont feel like doing it. their talks are weired. the language they use is absurd.. i am not saying about the total population in general, but just the people of my age with whom i can hang out with.. some of them respect me.. they know i am different from them in terms of mindset, people who dont respect at least dont say anything.. but there are few who have problems with every single thing i do. i cant take it anymore..

they think i dont smoke is bad, they think it is pathetic that i have phobia of speed, they think riding the motorbike as fast as possible is the best thing to do in the world.. people here are obsessed with girls they keep staring at every good looking girl. they are obseesed with taking their numbers. people here think nobody can say us anything... they are ready to be in fight anytime anywhere if challenged..there are a lot of things i have hard time to fit in..

I dont get it.. i have so many friends at the place i study i took tuition.. its just that here i am helpless. i feel lonely. even though i am not...!!
