How to surprise your Girlfriend or Wife this Valentine?

A simple idea for people with deep pockets. Talk to an advertising agency and get some hoardings or billboards near her house which says 'baby I Love You'. And to keep things suspicious just mention your initials.

In the course of the day take her through places where you can put more Billboards.

Reveal at the end of the day.



Have fun.

The best part is you get paid for the image views. say you have a pic image001.jpg which was viewed by your friends 20 times. This gets added to your image-views. Once your image views reaches a certain limit, your get paid via Paypal.

Also there is a mass upload tool with which you can upload pictures at one go.

How to create a partition on your C drive ?

Most of the branded PC's come with just one drive. Called 'C:'. You can of course run your computer with just one drive. But in case of a hard drive corruption or any hard drive issues you loose all your data. Having multiple partitions ensure you keep your data safely in a partition.

It's very simple to create partitions as well as resizing it using this tool called EASEUS partition Manager. It has a simple interface with buttons like Resize, delete create as well as recover in case of a crash.

Check it out.

How to find the cheapest hotel and airline deals for India????

While booking hotel for my parents for Delhi I wanted a website where I can find comparative analysis of the rates. I was in Bangalore when my friend introduced me to www.ixigo.com.

All you have to do is choose the location, date etc and search. It will provide you wit the best deals.

What it does is it scrolls through all the websites that match your query. Once you click on a search result, it will redirect you to the site from where it fetched the result. For example if you search for air fares from Kolkata to Bangalore it will go through Indigo, Kingfisher etc and will provide you with cheapest deal. Once you click on Indigo it will redirect you to indigo's website.

Remember, it's a search engine not a booking site.

Keep smiling,

How to search in google?

Here are the ways- If you are using firefox, then notice this search box on the right hand top corner.


For Internet Explorer this is the screenshot.





Or go to address bar and type in google.com. You will be redirected to your local search engine. For example if you are in U.K. google will automatically redirect you from www.google.com to www.google.co.uk. Then you can either search for the entire web or only the U.k.

Keep smiling guys. :)
