Im a simple kid whose dreams are simply extraordinary.
Though Im not certain that I can fulfill all those extraordinary dreams of mine,
Im trying my best to go for it. Im afraid of taking risks in life. I just dont like the feeling to disappoint other people.
Others say that Im a considerate person.
Pushing myself too much is not my thing. There are things that Im not supposed to have and so I understand that.
Im a joyful person.
At the end of an exhausting day, I dont forget to look back at the new things that I have encountered and I dont forget to smile.
The thing that I like doing best is playing basketball. When Im with my team mates, I just cant help too feel so much fun, freedom and confidence. Im certain that basketball really brings out the best of me.
Im also fond of playing tennis.I like listening to music. Meeting new friends and traveling to other places excite me.

Windows vista
Thinking of taking the leap to Microsoft's newest operating system? There are many new features that make Vista look very appealing, but as with the launch of every version of Windows there are bound to be compatibility and security issues. Before getting into the "How To's" of installing Windows Vista let's first check out the requirements your PC must meet:
Components Vista Vista Premium
Processor 800Mhz 1Ghz
RAM 512 MB 1GB
Hard drive 40 GB 40 GB
Free space 15 GB 15 GB
Graphics DirectX 9
Supports WDDM driver
Aero Capable
128 MB RAM
Optical drive DVD DVD
If you would like to scan your computer to test it's ability to run Windows Vista there is a free readiness test available at PCPitstop.
methods of installing vista
Windows Vista is probably the easiest Windows operating system to install ever and sets up very quickly(35m for me). The two most common ways Vista will be installed are:
Clean install - This can be done with a full version or the upgrade version as long as you own a valid copy of XP and have it installed on the PC. When it comes to installing operating systems this is the preferred method.
Upgrade - Changing the operating system while keeping your files and settings intact. Although this feature is supposed to be as good as clean install, according to Microsoft in my opinion since you must backup all your important files before attempting an upgrade you might as well install a clean copy.
Multiboot - Keep your current operating system intact and install Vista to an alternate partition or hard drive. This will allow you to select the operating system you want to use at the boot menu. If you have the resources this might be worth some thought until the bugs are worked out, current drivers are released and software patches are out. To setup multiboot for Vista choose "Custom" as the installation type. (Step 5 below)
Upgrade workaround - For some unknown reason Microsoft has left open a loop hole allowing users to install the upgrade version of Vista on a PC without any previous version of Windows installed. To install a clean version of Vista on a PC simply follow these steps.
1.Insert upgrade DVD and restart your computer.
2.Boot with the Vista disk and begin the install.
3.When prompted for the Product key, DON'T enter it, just hit next. This will install vista as a trial version.
4.Complete the install.
5.From within Windows Vista start the install over again, Choosing Custom (advance) and install a clean version of Vista using your product key this time.
6.Finish the process by deleting the Windows.old file.
7.That's it you just saved yourself $100.
Installing vista
1.Ensure all important files on your hard drive are backed up.
2.Insert the DVD and restart your computer. If you do not see the option to Boot from CD/DVD you will have to configure the Boot order in your motherboard's BIOS.
3.After windows loads some files the first window you should see will want you to click "Install now".
4.Input your product key.
5.Next you have to choose the type of installation. You can select upgrade or custom (Clean).
6.Choosing custom will take you to the list of available partitions to install Vista on. Select the partition you want to use and click Next.
7.Next the Windows installer will copy files and reboot your PC.
8.The final steps will be inputting your personal settings, such as: user name and password, country and keyboard settings, computer name, and selecting a picture for the desktop.

Friendship is everlasting...
Friendship is only everlasting feature in this world. There may be biggest miracle which can change the entire world but even in that miracle also friendship will come out from its sleep. Friendship is like a banyan tree. Banyan tree seed is very small, but when it comes out of earth nothing can stop its growth. The same applies to friendship also. Friendship will reside in our heart like the banyan tree seed. When it finds the correct soil in another heart it starts its growth. at one stage when you get more friendly with that person it will become tree after that nothing in this world can stop it. Friends will try to find new ways to make you not to fall. Friends may not save but they never let you go to deep. Friends find innovative ways to stop you from falling and try to get some more help to lift you.
Friendship is a blessing,
Friendship is a blessing, and a friend is the channel through whom great emotional, spiritual, and sometimes even physical blessings flow. Friends will cheer us when we’re sorrowful or depressed. Friends will challenge us to attain our orginal limits with encouragement when we allow ourselves not to go beyond our reasonable boundaries. Friends will motivate us when we’re ready to give in, and they can provide for us when life falls apart. Friends are there when all is well, and we want someone with whom to share life’s pleasant and memorable moments. We often just want them around, to have a good time, to laugh, to act silly, to enjoy some mutually liked activity. In how many ways have friends enriched our lives and made us feel loved, accepted, respected and cared for? Probably, too many to list, and the list grows daily.
When you act silly with friends around they also comes and join you and get the enjoyment that you are getting. In the dictionary of friendship there is no word named sorrow. Friends will enter into that word and friends break the word into peices. They motivate us to attain our goal. They will stand by our side when you need a support. you will tell about a girl/guy whom you love and will ask for help for the love. You can't tell the same to parents or any other before the love starts. In our life deciding factor also there is a friend and his/her friendship is helping you. When you get problem in that love all others will run from u but not your bet friend. They help us by challenging( a challenge which motivates us) and also motivates us for reaching our aim.
When you are in college or studies you ask doubts in the subjects not to the professor but to a friend. Friends never says no to anything. They will try to help us and try to solve the doubts. When you play a friend is the first person to cheer you when you do a record. Friends will be the first to treat us without any jealous mind. friends consider the record of yours as theirs and they feel happy by telling about the record to others. In life we share most of the time with friends. We can't share some topics with our parents but we can share any topic, with friends. friends research that topic as a judge and tell us the good's and bad's

Who is friends and what is meaning of friends
A lot of people go through life with only a few friends. It seems that some have less than that. They have no one on whom they can call in good times or bad. There is no one with whom to bounce ideas around, or to talk about deep and troubling subjects. They have no one to call in times of need or difficulty. They are at the mercy of life, standing alone.
Others seem to have a multiple number of friends like google's PageRank which increases in cumulative. Wherever they go, people know them, and like to be around them. when a trouble strike, their biggest hesitation might be over which friend to call. They know exactly the person with whom to discuss the topics of inquiry and debate. Life is full of entertaining and invigorating relationships because it is full of friends. These friends will be like a Degree course in friendship.. When we study them we get lot of knowledge about friendship. They have a lot of ideas flowing and they discuss any topic which is hard to discuss.
Of course, some people are perfectly happy to operate with fewer friends. They might rather have a few deep and loyal friends, than many superficial ones. Others thrive best when friends are everywhere and numerous. It is not so much the number of friends that is important as is the possession of friends, period. Loyal and deep friendship is good. It doesn't care about the numbers, Even if you have one loyal trustable friend. it is better than to have hundreds of untrustable, superficial friends. With the trusted friends we can discuss our problem areas and get ideas for solving them also. These friends share their time with us to solve problems. But when you have lots of friends who are not loyal or trustable it is the case of the person who is not having any friends. Even after having hundreds of friends our mind can't able to find real, trustable friends.
