Following Russinovich | A Windows geek

It was year 2008 and I found cool tool called TCP view using which I can change many of TCP settings in a Windows box.Later day I found Process Explorer which was much more informative than built-in setting of Windows to check its running processes in Windows operating system.


I loved TCP view and Process Explorer so much that I was excited to know the creator of these tools. Using the Google, I got the details of the owner withing few seconds. He is non other than, Mark Russinovich who is co-founder of famous website Winternals.com which was later acquired by the Microsoft.

He is currently working as Technical fellow in Microsoft. Russinovich came to media attention many times including 1996 discovery of change in registry settings in Windows NT that allow Backoffice to install in the desktop OS,2005 discovery of Sony Rootkit and 2006 discovery of Windows metafile vulnerability.He also wrote two novels i.e. Zero Day and Trojan Horse. He is a complete Windows geek whose novel works inspires us,motivate us to do something new in Windows technologies.

I am following Russinovich for last 5 years. You too can follow him at http://www.trojanhorsethebook.com/

Welcome 2013: 365 days of life experience

WELCOME 2013

Time will never stop for anyone and will continue moving. Year 2012 has gone and we already stepped into new year 2013.Within last 365 days, we all have experienced life in different ways. Some were good and some were bad.We left the year 2012 and were so busy in man made competition that most of us forgot that we are after all human beings,not machines made for winning a competition.

We all started 2012 carrying little fear of 21 Dec 2012 which was declared as last day of survival of human beings in the Earth.If 21st Dec of 2012 was last day then I wouldn't get a chance to continue my blog updated in 2013.After all we survived and continuing our lives in 2013.Last year we came across different events around the World.Some made us proud as human beings and some made us thinking that we are worst than animals.

Gangnam Style

In America, people were shocked due to murder of world renowned singer Whitney Houston where as people also shook their hips in Gangnam Style which spread like a viral flu.Middle east converted in war zone,killed many people and source of all these problems in Middle East saw its president Obama retained the World's most powerful seat for second time.America topped Olympic 2012 and our country,for the first time,won highest number of medal where female athletes(Nehwal and Kom) were top performers.So called Luzsec hackers hacked many websites and networks and force to think that the Internet is no more safe now.

Anonymous hacker

Felix Baumgartner taught us that there is nothing called impossible when he set record of highest ever fall from Space.We also saw launches of electronic devices like iPhone 5, Galaxy Nexus and Microsoft surface.Samsung was fined 1 billion dollar for violation of copy rights and Apple,who dragged Samsung in the court,was finally took a deep breath of relief.Microsoft lunched its most waited cloud ready operating system Windows 8 and also released Server 2012.

Flex's fly from sky

In India, there were many importand events took place. Pranab Mukherjee was appointed as new President of India.Country lost people like Pandit Ravi Shanker, Yash Chopra,Bal Thakre and Dara Singh.One of accused of 26/11, Ajmal was hanged.Indian saw almost peaceful days in 2012 until entire country was shocked when people of India heard the new of brutal gang rape of a medical student by six men in Delhi where victim was declared dead after few days of struggle in hospital.

Protest against Delhi rape

People were killed in the name of religion,died in natural calamities in every corner of the World but most of us still continue our lives as usual forgetting everything. Because we learn from the past that if we slow down in the so called 'fast life', some another will win the race.So we follow one and only one formula i.e. "Bhag D K Bose Bhag".

We warmly welcome 2013 and made different kinds of resolution in order to maintain speed in the race,to make ourselves happy. But did we make any resolution where we committed our lives to make others' lives happy and peaceful? Have you committed yourself that you will come out of  the world of "I" and "Myself" and think at least a day for spreading happiness so that others too can think that there are people who are still alive and think for betterment.Ask yourself?

The Earth is growing older day by day. People are eating her given resources faster than ever. People only know 'how to get?' and forget 'what to give?'.Life was simple earlier but human beings made it so complex that we are slowly getting trapped in this complex world and will never come out of it.Only thing we can do is to sacrifice our few minutes and think about lives of others, think how to make the Earth a better place to live.Our tiny steps for mankind from all of us will change the world.

Lets live for others, make our society a better place to live,give respect to woman and protect them,kill hate and evils from your heart and spread love and peace. With our fresh and broad minds, let make 365 days of 2013 memorable days.

Your Heart

And I Know That It Is Love

And This Place Could

Be Much

Brighter Than Tomorrow

And If You Really Try

You'll Find There's No Need

To Cry

In This Place You'll Feel

There's No Hurt Or Sorrow

There Are Ways

To Get There

Make A Little Space

Make A Better Place...

Make It A Better Place

For You And For Me

And The Entire Human Race

There Are People Dying
