Father’s feeling

You are sitting in your balcony this bright morning Anand and went in to the thought of the conversation you had with your son last night.

Yesterday was thursday and you went into Westfields@Parrmatta to buy some toys with your son – Neel. As usual, you were more interested in watching excitement and enjoyment on Neel’s face after entering into ToysRUs. You did not need to remember his favourite aile in the store as he dragged you straight into aile where all the colourful and battery operated cars were thoughtfully arrange to attract the children.

“Stop playing with that car Neel, you will break it” – anyone around you must have recognised that father’s typical voice Anand. Neel looked at you innocently and replied – “My teacher was saying that Vikram Sarabhai’s (Indian physicist) father gave him lot of toys and asked to break them to learn the science behind them”. You were surprised for a while with this logical answer from your own LITTLE Neel. You then smiled and answered – “Vikram Sarabhai’s father was a very rich businessman and your father is doing a job with fixed pay”.

At that very moment, you took out the photo of your father from the wallet and felt the same feeling that the father felt about 25 years ago.

ક્યા મલે દૂકાનદારો ની આવી ગ્રાહક ભક્તી

ક્યા મલે કોઇ ને લાઇફ મા આટલી મસ્તી,
સૌથી બેસ્ટ આપણી અમદાવાદ ની વસ્તી

ક્યા આવી ઉત્તરાયન ને ક્યા આવી હોલી,
ફેસ્ટીવલ મા ભેગી થાય આખી દોસ્તો ની ટોલી

ક્યા આવી નવરત્ર ને ક્યા આવી દીવાળી,
ક્યા આવા દાંડીયા ને ક્યા આવા ધમાકા

ક્યા આવી cielo ને ક્યા આવી મારુતી,
ક્યા આવી લસ્સી ને ક્યા આવી જલેબી

ક્યા L.D.,HL, MG,HA Xaviers જેવી કોલેજો,
ક્યા CN,GLS,JL,X’aviers, Nirma જેવી સ્કૂલો

ક્યા મલે ડ્રાઈવ-ઇન નો વીકએન્ડ

ક્યા મલે લો ગાર્ડન ની છટાકેદાર રાત

ક્યા મલે એ ક્લબો ની મજા, ક્યા મલે એ મોડી રાતો ની મજા,
ક્યા મલે હોનેસ્ટ જેવી પાવ-ભાજી, ક્યા મલે આશોક જેવૂ પાન

ક્યા મલે freezeland જેવી કોફી,
ક્યા મલે ટેન જેવી નાન

અમદાવાદ નો રંગ નીરાળૉ,
અમદાવાદ નો ઢંગ નીરાળૉ

હોય ભલૅ એમા કૉઇ ખરાબી,
તો પણ ગર્વથી કહુ છુ કે હુ છુ ક્યા મલે દૂકાનદારો ની આવી ગ્રાહક ભક્તી

Internet Connection Sharing (ICS), Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)

 Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) A feature of Windows XP Professional that allows you to share one connection to the Internet with all computers on your network. 

ICS provides a convenient way for small business and home users to connect multiple systems to the Internet using a single connection. ICS combines three software services: DHCP, Network Address Translation (NAT), and DNS proxy. DHCP is used to assign private IP addresses to other computers on the local area network (LAN). NAT translates the private IP addresses used by the internal computers into the public IP address assigned by the ISP. DNS proxy enables systems residing on the LAN to resolve domain names to public IP addresses.

 Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) One of two wireless encryption standards available in Windows XP Professional. WEP is the encryption standard that is specified by the IEEE 802.11 standard. The other encryption standard available is WPA.

Nice song…Click here for more info about the song

Lyric:

No matter what they tell us

No matter what they do

No matter what they teach us

What we believe is true

 

No matter what they call us

However they attack

No matter where they take us

We’ll find our own way back

 

I can’t deny what I believe

I can’t be what I’m not

I know I’ll love forever

I know, no matter what

 

If only tears were laughter

If only night was day

If only prayers were answered

Then we would hear God say

 

No matter what they tell you

No matter what they do

No matter what they teach you

What you believe is true

 

And I will keep you safe and strong

And sheltered from the storm

No matter where it’s barren

A dream is being born

 

No matter who they follow

No matter where they lead

No matter how they judge us

I’ll be everyone you need

 

No matter if the sun don’t shine

Or if the skies are blue

No matter what the end is

My life began with you

 

I can’t deny what I believe

I can’t be what I’m not

I know, I know

I know this love’s forever

That’s all that matters now

No matter what
