Fw: 2 states by Chetan Bhagat

We have grown up watching so many love stories in movies in which a Boy sees a girl and like her. He falls in love with her , proposes her. Girls accepts the proposal and then with a few romantic dates both of them get happily married..
But dear friends, Life is not a cakewalk especially when ur life is a complicated love story like our very own "Chetan Bhagat". In his lates novel, "2 state" writer has shared with us all the difficulties that he has faced and overcomed to get his love. It is a tale of a NorthIndian boy "Krish" and South Indian Girl "Ananya". Their friendship at IIMA turned into love but the family of both didn't like neither the couple nor their respective families.
Author is screwed up under the constant pressure from his mother to marry a rich punjabi girl and refusal from Ananya's family to accept him. Chetan Bhagat has drafted the story in a very simple and much easier way which seemed as if one is watching a Bollywood Flick.
Krish explained his struggle how he managed to win the heart of Ananya's south indian family by helping her dad in making presentations, tutoring her brother for IIT and making Ananya's mother to perform on stage with SP Balasubramaniam and Hariharan.
Families agreed to accept the boy and girl but they were not ready to accept each other's family. Here the writer has shown what prevails in current Indian Society where boy's side considers itself to be the most important and wants girl's family to take extra care of them.
Finally krish's father changed the story and made both the families to agree on the marriage. Krish got married in a south indian style and later had twins.

Virus Attack

Last 2 days I have spent cleaning my desktop of viruses. It all started few months back, when my broadband stopped working out of a sudden. I reported the problem with my Service provider whose technical engineer told me that my modem is not working fine. So I had to get a new one.
But getting a new modem was accompanied by many other issues, I was not able to install the modem and had to call technician again. Later I found that the minimum RAM required is more than that available. Got a new RAM. After upgrading the RAM system did not boot up. Installed windows many times with different windows cd's but no success. Finally while installing one time I got an error "setupdd.sys can't be loaded".
Google Devta(God) helped me found out that RAM is not compatible with my PC Configuration. Again Ran to market to get the RAM replaced following which I installed the windows. Thinking that all my problems are resolved, I was happy. But something worse was waiting for me. After connecting to Internet my broadband got disconnected and did not connect until I restart the system. I was fed up with all these daily problems so decided to google out all the issues. In the backdrop of my mind I was thinking it to be a virus attack. Google proved me right.
Then the search for the virus and the prevention started. I used netstat and tasklist commands to check the status of my network and processes involved. To my surprise I found that virus was quite intelligent and had impacted my system badly.
1. As soon as I connect to Internet , virus opens simultaneous connections that lead to choking of my TCP / IP socket limits.
2. Using netstat and Tasklist I found the virus name as "unwise_.exe"
3. If I tried to go to any antivirus page, it stopped me from doing that and allowed to surf internet for other sites.
4. After sometime it stops my firewall and start accessing internet with many connection. It also add exception in my firewall setting even if I enable firewall again.
5. Sometimes, even if I try to start the Firewall I get "Access Denied" error.
Finally I googled about this virus and tried different soultions from editing the registry setting to updating group policies using gpedit.msc.

The only solution was to use an antivirus that can successfully remove this virus. I finally installed 2 antivirus solutions and scanned my system many times. Every time I got new location of the virus. Although I was able to delete most of the infected files but when it came to files in Windows directory I had to be a little cautious. I made a mistake and made few changes in registry that I shouldn't have. Now I was unable to access any of my drives by double clicking them. As I didn't took backup of registry setting so I can't even revert those changes. I decided to move forward and try to find solution for this. On rebooting the system I was shocked to see error message stating "boot.ini missing". I know that this is one of the most important file that is used at the tme of Windows booting. Soon my mind struck and I found that that file was quarantined by Antivirus. Finally I took the risk of un quarantining that file and later everything seemed to work fine. Now I am able to access my system as well as Internet easily.
Today I am quite happy as after so many months finally all the problem were resolved.. ! But I learnt so many things during this whole duration and troubleshooting. Tweet

Installing IIS and Configuring FTP Service on Windows

Installing Internet Information Services

Because FTP depends on Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS), you must first make sure that IIS is installed. To install IIS and the FTP service, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. In Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs.
3. Select Add/Remove Windows Components.
4. In the Windows Components Wizard, select Internet Information Services (IIS), then click Details.
5. Select Common Files, Documentation, File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Server, and Internet Information Services Snap-In, and then click OK.
6. Click Next.
7. If you are prompted to configure Terminal Services, click Next.
8. If you are prompted for a path for a FTP root folder, type a suitable folder path. The default is C:\Inetpub\Ftproot. For additional security, an NTFS drive is preferred. Click OK to continue.
9. When you are prompted, insert the Windows 2000 CD or provide a path to the location of the files, and then click OK.
10. Click Finish.

IIS and the FTP service are now installed, but you must configure the FTP service before you can use it.

Configuring the FTP service

To configure the FTP service, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, click Programs, click Administrative Tools, and then click Internet Services Manager. (In Windows 2000 Professional, you can access Administrative Tools from Control Panel.)
2. Click the plus sign (+) next to the server name.
3. Right-click Default FTP Site, and then click Properties.
4. Click the Security Accounts tab.
5. Select Allow Anonymous Connections, and then select Allow Only Anonymous Connections.
   
   Note Set appropriate NTFS permissions for the Internet Guest Account. To reduce security issues, consider using Basic Authentication on the FTP site. To do this, clear the Allow Anonymous Connections check box. When you do this, users must log on by using a user name and password that correspond to a valid Windows user account.
6. Click the Home Directory tab.
7. Select Read and Log Visits, and clear Write.
8. Click OK to save these settings.

The server is now configured to accept incoming FTP requests. The files that you want to make available should now be copied into the folder for access. Tweet
