Reboot

You know that feeling when your world is falling apart and all you can do is watch helplessly? Last night my toshiba satellite laptop stopped booting up on me. Yes, I know, we have no life :).

Now it is common knowledge amongst friends that the battery has been on death bed since past few months. However, it is also not hidden, that we can beat any other homo sapien in the competition for laziness, and being disorganized.

We dig the well when the fire breaks out. Just like the Indian government, where the heads roll after the disaster happens.

Obviously, we haven't backed up our drive in a while. Result is utter panic which leads to trying things in desperation, frustration, self blame, and finally, resignation.

But, that's where we are different from the Indian government. We have nobody to fire for this fiasco.

And so, we did give up, but only temporarily and let our minds settle down. Sometimes, silence and calm opens new WINDOWS and brings the much needed inspiration, motivation, life.

We figured there has to be a way for the processor to bootup without the battery. So we took the damn battery out. And thanks to the engineers who built this, it boots up fine. With just the power supply!
