Alternative to Windows XP OS for your Desktop - UBUNTU

By sam
For the Last 20 Years of my experiences in Computer and tools related to it, I have came across from the deep Black Screen DOS mode in 1993, The UNIX Platform with multiple pc setting, The welcoming of Win 3.1 Operating System in 1994 (in Odisha), the Grand eye opening launch of Windows 95 in the year 1996 is a major Event.



Now the Windows Platform is all - everywhere you see a Desktop monitor opened. Are you booking your Railway Tickets of Flight Tickets, or Registering your Name on College Admission, Booking Room at Hotel, getting Trained on MS-Word or managing Accounts of your Firm -- Its all on Windows. From Cyber-Cafe to Science City, From railway station to flight Booking, From DTP to Web Designing, From Writing code for a hospital Management System to the Mission Critical Banking Management System , there is every Possibility of 98% Plus Chance of all running under Windows platform.

Now Windows XP Support is Closed, but One can Use it Free via Official Virtual Machine Windows XP provided by Microsoft. Check Out How you can use Free Windows XP- Thanks to a great Guide on http://www.makeuseof.com/ website here.

Still It Needs a Licensing Fess to Run upon. In India its Hard Money to Invest on OS. The Newer Version of Windows i.e WINDOWS 7, Win 8 and Windows 10 all cost even More and are not specifically made for Desktop Only - They are Good and even better for the Work, which requires Both Desktop and Mobile Version. You have to Pay for License, to use them.



Are there any alternative Out there and how smooth is the Transition ?

Dhanush DIY for Ramayan Play for Children

By sam
While the CORONA Loackdown is on , The Serial Ramayana makes a mark in every person , even the children's here in India. The realization of the fact is that they have already seen Ramayana several Times on TV but not as satisfactory as they are seeing it now on Doordarshan. May be the Simplicity of the 1988 Ramayana by Ramanad Sagar is best for them to Understand . The Kids insisted to create Ramayana scene , And I had try it out with creating 5 Bows and 20 Arrows with the help of Bamboos , Jute thread and Cardboard Papers from the Amazon Purchased items package materials. Take a Look at the Video Below  on How its done ..... The Making Of Ramayana Bows and Arrows from Bamboo (Video)

I still love what I do

By sam
Quiting the best of opportunities in the Corporate world, Switching places, culture and people from the Urban to the Rural space, Leaving behind the 8 to 10 hours of regular office time, the weekends, the Mumbai Local and the experience there in, traveling within limits, the Chaos and hoosh hash rush hours at the Mankhurd and Kurla stations, and many such flavors of daily life in Mumbai for the last 6 years are unforgettable. Now after the establishment of TechYog.Com , things were on the other side of Moon. As the Monsoons started, situations like the Cyclonic warnings by the All India Radio. Heavy Rainfall , danger of the upcoming Flood and of course the Fresh green washed up surroundings. Now as to make a life, make a desire come true, to make it happen even though there are much more sceptisism and circumstances unavoidable , I still love what I do.
