We have a varying number of laptops in our room at a given point of time.. Number of friends come in, go out.. We have a DSL connection from Indicom, pretty bad service but quite habituated with it now.. Anyway I’ve been thinkin about sharing the connection over Wi-Fi for quite long time. My tryst with Wi-Fi started 8 months back when two IITian dudes came to live with us. They had 2 laptops with Wi-Fi. I was able to set up a network and they could connect to it. I could even share and transfer files over wireless with one of them. However I never was able to share the internet connection using XP(I wish I had a mac). Today my rommie’s girl friend came in with her Vista based HP notebook and connected it to the Indicom cable. Thats when I thought of giving it a final try. I took her laptop and set up a network connection and shared the Internet connection over wireless. Of course I did use an authentication method (WEP), cuz today in the morning itself I was browsing the net over a wireless connection that was unprotected. Probably one those bunch guys living in the ground floor had kept his Wi-Fi on and was using an Internet connection. Poor guy probably has no idea what it is and how vulnerable his laptop is!! Anyway the Vista based set up worked like breeze and I’m actually writing this post using the Internet connection that’s been shared by another laptop somewhere around 6 meters from my laptop and is in another room!!! That gives me a lot of satisfaction.. Finally I went wireless on my laptop(legally) cuz anyway I’ve browsing the net on my E62 phone..
Got up at 6.05 AM. Saw the sun and felt the cool breeze of the morning. Had my breakfast. All this after a grueling period of more than 1 year. I feel like a human again!
My fingers are still smelling ghee from what I did 1 hour ago. Yep.. I’d my first cooking lesson from my rooomie Biswajit. I just prepared Fried Rice!! In fact it was not that difficult as I’d imagined. And it was yummy. You better believe me on that. Below instructions are for anyone who is interested and want to taste it.
1. Heat Ghee for 2 minutes (a bit more than 2 tbl spoon!!)
2. Put green peas, cauli flower, beans, pea nuts, cashew nuts and some sipces.
3. Fry it for 5 minutes or till it gains a bit dark color or something like that..
4. Take 2 cups of rice and wash it properly.
5. Add the rice to the vegetables and fry it for 5 minutes or so.
6. Add 4 to 5 cups of water to it.
7. Leave the pressure cooked for 10 mintues on medium flame.
8. Now its your job to finish it. hahaahaaaa….
Hey I’m not kidding. The stuff I’d prepared was really yummy. Unfortunately my camera was not with me so clicked a couple of grainy pictures using the VGA camera of my previous phone; my current phone doesn’t even have a camera. Any hope you liked it and would probably prepare the same. Let me learn some more recipes I’ll defintely write posts on them too. Happy cooking!!
