Do You Know THIS ??

The all new Windows 10 oops!! not just Windows 10 infact the Windows 7,8 and 8.1 came with an interesting feature which many of us are unaware of. And I am pretty sure about that.

So let’s come straight to the point. Today I am going to tell you guys a trick to minimize all the inactive windows opened on your laptop or the desktop screen without clicking the minimize(-) button one by one. Yeah!! You guys read that right, without clicking them.


So the trick is very simple. What you guys have to do is just left click and hold the title bar of the window you want to currently work on and just shake it and wallaah!! here we go… surprise surprise. All the other inactive windows will minimize and what you have on the screen is the only the current window you are working on.


Go try this!! :)


From a Nooby Red Devil to an Acute Gunner!

I started watching football on television back in 2004 as Liverpool lifting champions league trophy in Istanbul is the most vivid thing i remember from back then. So just like every beginner i started following the champions The Red Devils, Manchester United! Such was their Charisma and aura back then. They had Ronaldo, Rooney and Tevez the most feared trio of that time along with Giggsy and Scholes in their midfield and Van der sar, Ferdinand,Vidic and Evra completing the back line. Brutal if you describe them in one word. I had very modest start with watching EPL one or two match a month would suffice my hunger (now i watch as much as 10-12 matches a month). Surely watching only Man u play only and only them, they played match winning football. then came that night when Bacelona's Messi crushed Man u in Rome to win champions league in 2009 and with it Ronaldo bid adieu to The Theater of dreams and he went on to become a Galactico. United were never same after that with him they won league titles in 2006-07,2007-08,2008-09 after that just twice in 6 years loosing the brutality they had (now they are pathetic!)

I tried to catch up with La liga just to see Ronaldo play there but it was a 2 horse race back then (may be 3 horse now :p) it had all the luster but lacked competitiveness. So just after 1 season of La liga back to EPL. Now coming to the best club ever (; - Arsenal, first full 90 mins that i saw them play was back in 2011 early Feb the match every gunner will love to forget. We scored 4 goals in first half (with first 3 coming within 10 mins from the start.) I was hoping for a drubbing in the second half but it was much funnier than that we gave way 2 penalties (classic Arsenal back then) Newcastle went on to draw that game with Tiote scoring a gem of a goal just before the full time. Incredible and astonishing not the way magpies played but the way we played in first half. That was the start, Glory Glory Man United was buried and COYG! was sprouting. At the time players were deboarding Arsenal I boarded that bus, Nasri left so did Clichy, Fabregas and Van Persie. Unhurriedly I started finding about the glorious history we had the days of Henry and Begkamp, The Invincible season, Highbury, agonizingly losing that final to Barcelona and the stadium move which multiplied my respect for the club.

One would laugh but I have spent nights crying on the ruing chances of winning a game and  calculating the permutations and combinations just to finish fourth to play UCL next year. Never once we failed to do that and doing that and that too with the players which other clubs keep on their benches as surplus :p. Classic counter attacks, 'you cant see me' passing, ethics most importantly, selflessness dil hi aa gya bas. Things started improving came in Cazorla, Podolski, Giroud, Kos the boss, Ozil, Sanchez and lately Cech. Last 2 years have been great 2 FA cups and an assured League title this term (;. Our defense is as strong as i have ever seen new crop of players is startling. Although w
e still don't know how to play match winning football and it's no problem if we dont win unless we keep playing like this, The beautiful Football.

Long Live Arsenal! COYG!

Santa is here n he is SAD ):

So we have a special guest on our blog for tonight. The one who brings smiles spreads joy and add to the festivity of Christmas but he is SAD. Hey Santa why are you so low? Is it you job which has taken a toll? He is silent n mum not even a single word he can hum.

Ahh! His bag of gifts is empty. So have you lost your gifts Santa? Dats why are you sad? He shows me a picture and it shows all the remorse griefs and pains the world is going through. Attacks in Paris, giant killing in Peshawar, the drowned kid of Syria. I'll fail in my job tonight i cant make all of them happy. His concern is much more abysmal than i could have thought.

He picks up his bag and ambled down the street. I think he needs help. So can we just cut half his task and help spread some happiness today on Christmas day at least? It can be of any form and any type. You can feed a poor ,give some poor kids your toys, get them your old books,clothes or just simple tip these daily low earners handsomely while buying (:. It'll surely make their day. I dont know how many will read this or do this. But we need to make our Santa happy. Lets do this.

Merry christmas.

The best, the better, the good.

Today I went on to bring some medicines for my dad luckily not available at our "most" preferred store. So a detour and suddenly I was in the lanes that used to be the most familiar of all, the ones I took for my school. From looking for a medic now I was filled with nostalgia, 5 long years never once I went in those streets. Those early morning routines which were unbothered with for 14 long years. My mum my sissy and small me same lanes daily and daily and daily how monotonic that was but how much I miss that now.
 
“Yaadein mithai ke dabbe ki tarah hoti hai, ek baar khola to sirf ek tukda nahi kha paoge.”


Life has changed and changed for the better they say.  Now we rarely go together, never on those same lanes, never so enthusiastically. Do I love my life now? Yaa surely. But more than those days? No, even if you hold a gun at point blank. Those days were the best and no point in life will come close to beat those moments. We may move on, get busy with our routines, meet new people, make new friends but with life it’s in reverse the best, the better and the good. The Best has now gone. (:


Bill, Service charge, Service tax n other buff, WTF!



Eating in restaurants! How common is that? as common as downloading movies from torrents :p. We judge the quality of food, the environment, the crowd, the staff and I am telling you, you are getting duped! How come? Where? Not possible! Wait lemme explain. How often do you check your bill which comes in better arrangements than your ordered food? Not talking about its totaling instead its components VAT, Service tax, Service charge. Yes now were are talking; Never!

So taking the lid off. How are they duping you? First let us understand what are these non-so alien terms-

·         Service charge - it’s just like a tip (which is compulsory to pay) and its rate depends on                                          the mood of the owners :p its goes in their pockets.

·         Service tax         - Damn! Compulsory extortion. It goes to central govt.

·         VAT                      - Sister of service tax. It goes to state govt.


Taaadaaaa! now you have the power! Ehh?? No not so soon. Let’s come to the working part.
First of all "no service tax" in non-air conditioned/heating restaurants (beware Richie Richs you are being targeted here).


The net trick- indoor(hotels, restaurants etc.) and outdoor(functions and parties etc.) catering stuffs. 

For indoor eating joints and points service tax will be on 40% of bill amount plus service charges ( service tax rate being 14%) and for outdoor caterings it'll be 60% of the bill amount and service charges. VAT will always be on the full amount (excluding service tax) check the calculations below and catch all the wallet burners! 

So pls don't you ever disappoint me and pay service tax on the full bill amount. Remember the 40% and 60% rule.

Now You have the power (;
Say thank you later :p

Is Ozil the best, Arsenal have had?


With his epic form this season and 15 assists in 17 games already, Arsenal have really found a playmaker they can rely on heavily even in the absence of the wonderful Cazorla and Speedy Sanchez. With the vision Mesut have it’s almost certain that he will find his teammates. His selflessness and his vision to make a perfect pass have benefitted heavily for the Arsenal team this season.




Arsenal defender Per Mertsacker and other teammates believe Mesut Ozil will be the key to Arsenal’s run for the Premier league title this term. Ozil was instrumental in Arsenal’s 2-1 victory over Manchester City on Monday, assisting both the goals scored by Walcott and Giroud.
The number of assists Ozil have this season are already double than the next best of Riyad Mahrez and Gerard Deulofeu(7). He is definitely on track to break Arsenal’s all time record of assists (20) set by striker Thierry Henry and Arsenal’s hopes of winning the title after a decade heavily depends on him.
He is definitely the best Arsenal have had.
