Drive Safely

Last weekend I got a car for my sister .. Today while reading my mails .. I came across a junk mail .. But it was really good .. So I want you all to read it .. We all have loved ones whom we want to be there always ..
This is really touchin ..............
Sanjay, a rich guy, loved fast cars and he did have a few in his possession. He loved to speed and could not be bothered about breaking speed limits. Many a times he was caught by the cops and speed radars, fined, but still he never bothered until.
One day as he was driving at a very high speed as usual, he saw a cop following him. The cop overtook him finally and asked him to stop and checked his license. He then took out his pad and started Writing, and then handed over the sheet of paper to Sanjay.
How much was this one going to cost?!!!
Wait a minute.
What was this????
Some kind of joke? Certainly not a ticket.
Sanjay began to read:
"Dear Sanjay,
Once upon a time I had a lovely daughter. She was six when killed by a car.You guessed it - a speeding driver's car.A fine and three months in jail, and the man was free. Free to hug his three daughters. I only had one, and I'm going to have to wait until Heaven, before I can ever hug her again.
A thousand times I've tried to forgive that man. A thousand times I thought I had. Maybe I did, but I need to do it again. Even now. Pray for me.. And be careful, Sanjay, my son is all I have left."
Sanjay turned around in time to see the cop's car pull away and head down the road. He watched until it disappeared. A full 15 minutes later, he too, pulled away and drove slowly home, praying for forgiveness and hugging a surprised wife and kids when he arrived.
Life is precious. Handle it with care.

Shortcut to Command Prompt

We go to the command prompt via Start > Run > Cmd and then do Ipconfig or nslookup .. and so on .. There is a shorter way to do it ..

Start > Run
Type : cmd /k ipconfig or cmd /k nslookup

The above commands can be used as batch file as well. Create few batch files and keep them on the desktop so that you dont have to type .. You know .. I want to make it easy for you guys.
