Installing Windows 7 from a USB Drive(With an .iso file)

When you purchase Windows 7 from Microsoft Store, you have the option to download an ISO file or compressed files. The Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool allows you to create a copy of your Windows 7 ISO file on a USB flash drive or a DVD. To create a bootable DVD or USB flash drive, download the ISO file and then run the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool. Once this is done, you can install Windows 7 directly from the USB flash drive or DVD.

 When you download the ISO file, you need to copy it to some medium in order to install Windows 7. This tool allows you to create a copy of the ISO file to a USB flash drive or a  DVD.

Steps to install Windows 7 from your USB flash drive or DVD:

How do torrents work ?


Many a time a question arises in our mind that how do these torrents networks work?
Here's your answer!
Torrents are peer-to peer or p2p networks.

For example say if you want to download a movie(say it"x") and there are about 1000 more people downloading the same movie at the same time then in a server network,the server will be overloaded and people will get lesser speeds but in a p2p network the same file is fragmented or divided into many parts(say 1000 parts) and all the computers downloading the file are inter-connected.
So, what happens is that when you download that movie 1 piece will be going to each of them at first then these 1000 people will share these pieces among themselves and these people give  pieces of the same file to you,which will fastly download to your system at your full bandwith speed.

Basically - The file you want to download is broken up into small pieces, each piece is downloaded from multiple sources (seeds) and then reassembled on your computer. You get the download speed from both multiple sources and the fact you are downloading multiple file fragments at the same time.

Hence,you can get files much faster than downloading it from a single server.

The role of a torrent software like bitTorrent here is that it will take all those downloaded pieces and put them together into the file you downloaded.
Please comment.

Street Cricket in India

According to me cricket is favourite sport in india.People's love for cricket in india is endless.Many of the Indians worship some cricketers as their God.This love for cricket first started when India won the 1983 world cup to everyone's surprise .

Street cricket is very popular in India.In the countryside, dried lakes and river beds are often used as playgrounds for cricket.In towns it is played in parks,apartment parkings or on the road as in the picture above.The game requires a very small amount of investment.A tennis or rubber ball is used to  play.Bricks or the branches of trees are used as the wickets.
For the toss many innovative forms are used(when a coin is not available for the toss) like a small stone is tossed or the Guess in or out form in which a small stone is clenched in a wrist and wrist is rotated in motion very fast.The opposite captain has to guess whether the stone(or any other object) is still in the wrist or thrown away.The captain winning the toss almost chooses to bat first, not considering any facts like pitch condition.

The length of the pitch is usually smaller than the actual 22 yard pitch.

The umpire is usually a person who is not playing from any of the side.In absence of such a person a player from batting side acts as an umpire.There are lot of disputes betwwen the teams on issues like wide ball,run out,no ball,four,six etc.

A batsman is declared out if he breaks a window,hits the ball out of the park and in all such cases.

The winning team gets nothing except the "great joy of winning".
