Kolkata Metro, still under construction.

Last Sunday I along with my family went to Garia to attend a small party in the afternoon. Journey from Howrah to Garia was quite comfortable by taxi. However, we had to give away 300 bucks for the fifty minutes ride. The much awaited Kolkata Metro is still under construction between Tollygunge and Garia. Kolkata Metro Rail connects Dum Dum with Tollygunge. I do not know why it is taking so long to complete the elevated route to Garia. I wish the trains will start running by 2010. I love to travel by Metro as it is fast as well as pollution free. I do not know when will Howrah get connected with Kolkata Metro?

Windows Virtual Memory

I have a question for you all. Why does my laptop computer shows this message?

Windows Virtual Memory Minimum Too Low. Your system is low on virtual memory. Windows is increasing the size of your virtual memory paging file. During this process, memory requests for some applications may be denied. For more information, see Help.

Please tell me why this happens and what should I do to solve this problem. I am using Microsoft Windows Service Pack 2 Home.

Happy Fish Fry Day!

Wish you all a very happy fish fry day. Hey, what am I saying? Fish Fry? How can I fry this fish? I mean just look at it. It looks so nice. Today is Friday, but I did not had any fish. I ate soyabean with rice and Dal. This fish belongs to our neighbour. They kept their fish for a week with us. They were out of city to celebrate the new year. We changed the water every two days. What is the name of this fish? Any guess?

Job Cuts | Invest in Mutual Funds

Are you living in fear that your company might throw you out? Just follow these simple rules. There are two different times in life. One is Good Times and the other one Bad Times. When you are having a very good time with your life, be prepared for the bad times. You must have a plan on how to tackle the problem of any future job cuts. And the best way to do it is to invest a part of your monthly savings in a diversified mutual fund. It is wise to invest in an SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) rather than going for the traditional lumpsum investments. Follow the rule, which says that do not put all your chickens in one basket. That means, choose more than one mutual fund scheme. The best way to start is to visit your local bank where you have your savings account. Investing directly into equities is a risky move. You should avoid direct equity as it requires you to be well versed with the stock markets. When you loose your job look for another one. During this time you can fund all your monthly expenditure by withdrawing partially from your mutual fund investments.
