How about using an Anti Virus

Most Indians use pirated software starting right with the operating system Windows XP or Windows 7. Most of you might have observed very slow PC's and poor internet speed, inspite of shelling out a lot of money for the broadband.

How about for one instance think of buying an original Windows Operating System, or atleast a good antivirus. It hardly costs 1000 rupees nowadays to get a good anti virus.
My choice for Antivirus:
1) NOD32 - The best in the business
2) Kaspersky
3) AVG AntiVirus



If your system is having any spyware or is affected by computer virus or Trojans you can try using Combofix which is available for free

MEMORY IMPROVEMENT TABLETS , MEMORY IMPROVEMENT MEDICINE

There are many students among you, who have a weaker memory, tend to forget things early, and also have lack of attention in classrooms. This memory loss and lack of attention can be improved with few Memory Improvement techniques.

1) Have a Breakfast Daily - Many tend to skip it but it is a must
2) Sleep on time - I know many who suffer from Sleeping Disorder but, atleast 8 hours a sleep daily will surely improve your concentration levels in class rooms.
3) Move around - Studying while walking around improves your concentration levels, especially while studying theory part.
4) Relax every 30 minutes - Close your eyes and thinking about anything else for 5 minutes every 30 minutes



You could also try out the memory improvement tablets like Ginkgo biloba available in the pharmaceutical shop lets or the nearby drug stores.(Warning : Use the drugs only under a medical prescription). But the key still is to follow the above techniques for reducing the memory loss. Also try out few of the memory improvement games. I will post about them in detail later.

The Value of Tardiness - A Great Story of Life

One day in 1939, Berkeley doctoral candidate George Dantzig arrived late for a statistics class taught by Jerzy Neyman. He copied down the two problems on the blackboard and turned them in a few days later, apologizing for the delay — he’d found them unusually difficult. Distracted, Neyman told him to leave his homework on the desk.

On a Sunday morning six weeks later, Neyman banged on Dantzig’s door. The problems that Dantzig had assumed were homework were actually unproved statistical theorems that Neyman had been discussing with the class — and Dantzig had proved both of them. Both were eventually published, with Dantzig as coauthor.

“When I began to worry about a thesis topic,” he recalled later, “Neyman just shrugged and told me to wrap the two problems in a binder and he would accept them as my thesis.”
