My Cool PC ...... Preview .....

Well, all of us like to keep our PC appear cool and nice, and attract attention of other people ... it also affects us when we ourselves sit in front of it doing our own work .... so have a look at my PC's appearance ..... thought i would share my preferences with others ....

P.S. Make sure you have some decent amount of RAM, then don't start giving bad words if something goes wrong, after you put anything mentioned here

I've used:
Vista Transformation Pack 7 ( Windows Vista Aero )
Brico Packs Vista inspirate 2 ( Windows Vista Ultimate )
Linux Yodm 3D ( Linux )
FlyakiteOSX 3.0 ( Macintosh OSX)

This is how my desktop looks ..... carbon black theme suits the cool ferrari symbol ..

Small Preview of Icons .......

Hmm .... think again, i don't have one desktop to open many windows, not even two, but 4 desktops !!! :) cool ha ?

Manage my desktops just like a cube .... this is a far view .. and fun to rotate :)

Surfing the net

For this purpose, my browser is non other than mozilla firefox. They have a variety of add-ons to choose from to make surfing the net enjoyable .

My preferences:
theme of NASA night launch
Grease monkey
Snap shots
Foxy tunes
ScribeFire
video downloader
orkut helper

Theme of NASA night launch ... now waiting is not so boring :)
the other applications surfing much easier and convenient ..

Around the campus ..... Miscellaneous

Finally after a long day,(and the best day for us) after having lunch, we guys were free to do anything we pleased ... yeah provided not to wreck the place apart ! :)

There was a cricket match going on .... playing using crazy balls and table tennis rackets ...

Things didn't end that way .... lot later went out to stroll to experience and enjoy the pleasant nature there which we normally don't find in our city lives ...

Spooky isn't it ? :)

Now what do you got to say ?

Then after a while some 10 - 15 of us in the up floor of the lounge we had a tremendous PILLOW FIGHT !!! yeah had so much of fun that now all started gathering around there ... some of us later chilling out ....

Then came the swimming part ... you got to have a look at this ....

And in the end, was the 'photo' session .... all taking pics of each other ..... while muching tasty vada-pavs .... in fact there was a competition going on among us , winners eating away about 10 vada pavs .... :)

SWEET OLD MEMORIES

Thats Mrs.Prabha, our 8th std. class teacher ... most of us together here

Thats how the day ended .... went back by bus .... lot of fun that time too ... all ended well
[ when i'm the photographer around, what can go wrong ? :) ]

Home of the Wild continued .......

Cup and Saucer plant

Wild Grapes

Wild Turmeric

Walk to the forest ..... Home of the Wild

This was the most 'learning' part of the day i can say .... ya masti and fun was there like always .... as mentioned earlier my particular group consisting of 8 - 15 enjoyed, learned and saw the most, as we were the most luckiest ones to get one of the best guides around with us !!

Mrs.Flora, our geography teacher .One of the best teachers in our school and liked by all students, as she believes that maintaining a note book when you're in 10th is simply a waste of time .... well atleast due to this (other than her cool teaching style) why she's preferred :)

With us was Ms.Pranoti, a Botany student ... more than just a guide and teacher, she was like a friend to us, laughing joking along with telling and informing us about different trees, herbs and other 'wild' aspects in nature.
