Some of you people might aware that we have shifted to our small but new home (Alhamdulillah). Today I setup my work-space for upcoming venture in upper portion of home. I setup one desktop computer + laser printer + laptop connected via (secured) WiFi :)
The best way to keep ourselves and our lives in good shape is to empty our minds of all worries, anxieties, tensions and negative thoughts before we retire for the night. We can then begin the new day with energy, vigor and freshness.
Alhamdulillah, the land line has been installed at home with DSL! for my surprised, it went so fine...
People who knows me closely can understand the reason behind this post :)
Do not tell people how to live their lives. Just tell them stories. And they will figure out how those stories apply to them. - Randy Pausch
If you have seen my last post then you can understand reason to post this. Here are few links I used to setup dual monitor at my work place. Why Dual Monitor? Then you need to read my last post and see Randy Pausch Video Lecture on Time Management.

I just received this email from one old friend and its worthy to share with you all.
A lady in a faded grey dress and her husband, dressed in a homespun
suit walked in timidly without an appointment into the Harvard
University President's outer office. The secretary could tell in a
moment that such backwoods, country hicks had no business at Harvard
and probably didn't even deserve to be in Harvard.
"We want to see the President "the man said softly.
"He'll be busy all day "the secretary snapped.
"We'll wait" the lady replied.
For hours the secretary ignored them, hoping that the couple would
finally become discouraged and go away. They didn't and the secretary
grew frustrated and finally decided to disturb the president.
"Maybe if you see them for a few minutes, they'll leave" she said to
him. The President, stern faced and with dignity, strutted toward the
couple.
The lady told him "We had a son who attended Harvard for one year. He
loved Harvard. He was happy here. But about a year ago, he was
accidentally killed. My husband and I would like to erect a memorial
to him, somewhere on campus."
The president wasn't touched....He was shocked. "Madam "he said,
gruffly, " we can't put up a statue for every person who attended
Harvard and died. If we did, this place would look like a cemetery."
"Oh, no," the lady explained quickly "We don't want to erect a statue.
We thought we would like to give a building to Harvard."
The president rolled his eyes. He glanced at the gingham dress and
homespun suit, and then exclaimed, "A building ! Do you have any
earthly idea how much a building costs? We have over seven and a half
million dollars in the physical buildings here at Harvard."
For a moment the lady was silent. The president was pleased. Maybe he
could get rid of them now. The lady turned to her husband and said
quietly, "Is that all it costs to start a university ? Why don't we
just start our own?"
Her husband nodded. The president's face wilted in confusion and
bewilderment. Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford got up and walked away,
traveling to Palo Alto, California where they established the
University that bears their name. Stanford University, a memorial to a
son that Harvard no longer cared about.
Most of the time we judge people by their outer appearance, which can
be misleading.. And in this impression, we tend to treat people badly
by thinking they can do nothing for us. Thus we tend to lose our
potential good friends, employees or customers.
Remember
In our Life, we seldom get people with whom we want to share & grow
our thought process. But because of our inner EGO we miss them
forever.
It is you who have to decide with whom you are getting associated in
day to day life.
