Lose-Yourself

MY FIRST TREK EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!

Six of us (Anil, Anirudh, Kani, Akshar, Cena, and Suman ) left to Dudhsagar from Bangalore on Friday evening .We started our journey on a train...... It was a tiring journey to me , because i couldn't sleep well...(but others did!!)
We were in Castle Rock railway station at 4.30 in the morning.Actually its a very small town and only railway employees stay there....We relaxed in railway guest house till 6.30 am ,and started our trek.

We were not knowing  the distance from Castle Rock to Dudhsagar falls. We asked many people in the station and their answer varied . Within few minutes we were walking on the tracks surrounded by dense forests.
There were leeches all around the place. It brought back my memories of my friend Puneeth(putti) who had done a similar trek on Sakleshpur .


This is a busy route with many trains running and we could find trolley men all along the route. Also, the bridges and tunnels are not scary.....(but putti had told me that it would be scary)

(Dense forest)
we found a beautiful  waterfall,which was small ,next to the track. There we had 
our breakfast and it was already 9.00 am...
Then after the small breakfast we started our trekkin....After  walking for 5km, just before the fourth tunnel, we crossed into Goa .....



In another half an hour , we reached a station called Karnazol or something like that . A goods train was waiting for signal at this station. The station master told us that a train was expected to arrive shortly and we could take




that train  go to Dudhsagar. When we said that we had come to do a railway track trek, he told us that we were crazy. But anyway, he was a nice guy and he told us that we need to walk another 11 km for the falls.
We resumed our walking there..... After resting for 30 minutes near the station we started our trekkin again......
It was around 2.00 pm when we reached Dudhsagar Railway station...we were literally exhausted we didn't even had water bottles with us ......
Then we came to know that Dudhsagar falls was still a km to go...
 
Dudhsagar falls has a marking approximately equal to 42/000 marking, we had trekked for 16 kms from Castle Rock. The view of the falls came as a relief to us. A railway bridge passes through the dudhsagar falls.
It was filled with water. The falls had formed a  small pond at the base. But it would have been a disaster if we had thought of swimming there....The force of the water was too much....





But we did swim in another pool which was to right of the falls....There were few people near the falls. We were the only ones who had taken the trouble of walking while others had  come on train  (available from Goa side).
After swimming in the water for 2 hours or so....we left to dudhsagar railway station and we waited for the train for around 2 hours...It was 6.00 pm...We were worried and it started raining heavily.......To our luck a goods train came and stopped in dudhsagar railway station
and we boarded the goods train, it was a nice experience to go on a goods train......Then we got down at Kolem and from there we went to Ponda and stayed there .....The next morning we left to Panajim and we had our breakfast there.......
But goa wasn't so much fun as that of dudhsagar.........
It was raining heavily....so we couldn't enjoy much in Panajim......though we had got a free room.
 
Goa experience will continued in the next post.....

HOW TO INCREASE UR TORRENT SPEED
Here we are actually forwarding the port that bit torrent uses.....
1)First go to start & click on run
2)Type cmd
3)A command prompt will open...here type ipconfig
(ipconfig displays your ip address,Default gateway and subnet mask)
4)Note down the default gateway which will have a default value of 192.168.1.1
and note down the ip address which will be 192.168.1.2
5)Now go to the internet explorer and type 192.168.1.1 in the url bar
6)It will ask for the username and passwd which is admin and admin respectively
7)Now a page will open which is your router page
Here if ur modem is new your router page will display dataone.....
else it will display mtnl or something like that
if it is a new modem

• Goto advanced > and goto NAT(network address translator)
• Here type your ip address i,e. 192.168.1.2
• And your port is forwarded now

If it is an old modem

• Goto advanced>virtual server
• There give the name as bittorrent
• Then the IP address as 192.168.1.2
• Then open your bit-torrent client or any torrent client goto connection and note down the port
• Then type the port number that has to forwarded for eg:50253

Then goto ur bittorent client and click on preferences
here set the values as shown in the picture







































Take a look at my torrent speed while downloading Prison break (one of my fav )




















MAKE UR WINDOWS GENUINE

AUTO SHUTDOWN
METHOD # 1
Do you know that you can make your PC shutdown at a time u wish to? Here is the trick!! How To Make A Shutdown Timer!
Step 1:
Right click on your desktop and choose "New=>shortcuts".
Step 2:
In the box that says "Type the location of the shortcut", type in "shutdown -s -t 3600" without the quotation marks and click next.
Note: 3600 are the amount of seconds before your computer shuts down. So , 60secs*60mins=3600secs.
Step 3:
Make up a name for the shortcut and you're done. You can change the icon by right clicking=>properities=>change icon=>browse.
To abort:
To make an abort key to stop the shutdown timer just create another shortcut and make the "location of the shortcut" to " shutdown -a" without the quotes.
METHOD # 2
Here is another trick to shutdown at a specific time, for example you wish to shutdown at 11:35am. Type this in start=>Run
Type Code: at 11:35 shutdown -s
to abort
Code:
shutdown -a
take note: all time are in 24hr, example u would like to shutdown at 8:30pm, you should type
"at 20:30 shutdown -s" without quote
METHOD # 3
you can use a batch for that as well it makes it easier to use just run the batch and enter the time you want it to shutdown
shutdown.bat Type Code: @echo off title Scheduled Shutdown Batch Example by chacha1234 color A echo Enter Time To Shutdown (example 19:30) set /p stime= cls at %stime% ""shutdown -s -t 00"" >nul echo Your PC Will Auto Shutdown At %stime% echo Press Any Key To Exit pause >nul exit

also you can add -c "desired message" at the end of the shutdown command for example shutdown -s -t 60 -c "Shutdown Pc"
using this command u can also schedule ur pc to restart for example shutdown -r -t 60 -c "Restarting Pc"


MAGIC
An Indian discovered that nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on the computer which can be named as "CON". This is something pretty cool...and unbelievable... At Microsoft the whole Team, couldn't answer why this happened! TRY IT NOW ,IT WILL NOT CREATE " CON " FOLDER
MAGIC #2
For those of you using Windows, do the following:
1.) Open an empty notepad file
2.) Type "Bush hid the facts" (without the quotes)
3.) Save it as whatever you want.
4.) Close it, and re-open it.
is it just a really weird bug? ?
MAGIC #3
Microsoft crazy facts
This is something pretty cool and neat...and unbelievable... At Microsoft the whole Team, including Bill Gates, couldn't answer why this happened!
It was discovered by a Brazilian. Try it out yourself...
Open Microsoft Word and type
=rand (200, 99)
And then press ENTER
then see the magic.............................._________________The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

(2) More Puzzles - Shakuntala Devi
(3) Puzzles and Teasers - George Sammers
(4) Brain Teasers - Ravi Narula
(5) Quantitative Aptitude - R.S Agarwal
(6) Verbal Reasoning - R.S Agarwal
(7) Previous Papers







SCHEDULE:

Now lets start of with the schedule :
DAY 1 : Start off with Puzzles to Puzzle you - Shakuntala Devi and finish as mush as possible.Decide to finish the book and then call the day off. Note down the sums which, you are not able to solve or need the solutions to which you are not able to solve . When you finish reading the the whole book, go back to those questions which you were not able to answer and and try find out the solution to it from the net or from your friends .Dont try to remember the method try to understand it.

DAY 2 : Start Verbal Reasoning - R.S Agarwal .
In this you just have to do the Puzzle Test Chapter fully , and have a look at the Number, Ranking and Sequence Test chapter. It contains fully George Sammers type question on easier scale but you would be able to understand the basic logic of solving George Sammers type questions.Finish off the whole book during the second day.There is just one or two methods to solve these sort of questions and the explanation is very clear .Once you get the method , you can solve al the puzzles in this, but just in case do go through all the puzzles. there have been puzzlesin previous papers from here.Once ou get the method well, there willnot be any revision necessary in this book . But you will have toconcentrate on the method.

3.Artificial Vehicle- Microcontroller based vehicle

4.Micromouse-Microcontroller based Robot-
The mouse is essentially composed of three main components: the drive, sensing and control sections. It has its own power supply, usually consisting of primary or rechargeable batteries. The mouse should not be larger, either in length or width, than 25 centimeters. There is no restriction on the height.
The maze shall be a 16 x 16 square array of 180 mm x 180 mm unit squares. The mice are completely autonomous robots that must find their way from a predetermined starting position to the central area of the maze unaided. The mouse will need to keep track of where it is, discover walls as it explores, maps out the maze and detect when it has reached the goal. Having reached the goal the mouse will typically perform additional searches of the maze untl it has found an optimal route from the start to the center. Once the optimal route has been found, the mouse will run that route in shortest possible time.
Mice can use various searching algorithms.
