Conquering Microsoft

No, I haven't overtaken Microsoft and Bill Gates is doing fine, I guess. But these Microsoft softwares, they always give me trouble. This time around it was Visual Studio 2005. The studio installed fine but the Service Pack for the same was giving me nightmares.

I have been trying to install this from last three days and it was not going anywhere. I had read every article on the INTERNET and knew this is not going to be easy. But, I tried. I even had to format my system. But still it gave me trouble. So, I resorted to a registry hack and tried it again and this time around I was successful. I was elated and over-joyous as my dogged determination to get it done had payed off. Microsoft was conquered, finally.

Overhauling

Its been 2 days that my car is sitting in the workshop. I am supposed to get it back by this Sunday. Well the damage on the car is critical. The left side apron is twisted and hence the left front tyre is giving some problem. The bumper is in bad shape. Plus the left hand side finder. Yeah its a story in itself. When the mechanic saw it he said it will be dented and repaired. But i insisted on a new one. So, what he did? He just took some tool and created a huge hole in the finder, simple. Now, it can only be replaced and not repaired.

The mechanic has convinced me that it will be just fine. I hope it turns out that way only. I am not sure how much I will have to pay but since it is insured, i guess not much.

The agent, through whom i got my car has been really helpful all this while. Infact, the day the car crashed and I called him to assess the damage he was right there in about 20 mins. I owe one to him.

And my folks, they are cool about it. My mom, when saw the damage for the first time said "You are fine naa!, that's all". Love her for that.

Hope to see my car this Sunday. Will right again.

Car Crash

Yeah, my first car and my first car crash, that's what can sum it up in a bit.

Trust me, it was not good. Its has just been a month that I got my learning license and i have been driving since then. But i had not driven for the last one week. My folks have been forcing me to, but i was avoiding, y i don't know, maybe i was scared of a crash. Anyways, my dad convinced me today to drive and i was driving nicely. Then he asked me to take a turn. This is when it happened. I turned the car pressed the clutch and it all went bisserk. I lost the control over the car. We were about to hit a tree but my dad turned the steering just a wee bit and we went crashing into a side wall.

I was scared to death and feared coming out of the car. My dad went down juso to find that the bumper is gone. What are the other damages we were still to analyze. A few friendly people gathered. One of them was a driver, i guess, he drove my car back on the road. Then we started for home.

All said and done, this has made me come closer to my inner self. And in a second a realised the value of life. I don't know whether i will drive again or not, but i am sure it won't be soon.
