The guy who own the domain was a friend of mine and I was trying to help him out. He said he have registered the name through a local ISP. So i asked him to provide the user name and password for the control panel. Which turned out to be one with an Indian registrar. I tried to login and was amazed to find that there is'nt much option in the control panel. In the MX data there is the server address of the ISP typed in. and there is no Cname records. I asked the customer support of the registrar and they said they have juz provided the domain name.. and not controlling the DNS records. I tried to contact the ISp and they said that they don't have anything with them.At this point I used my paypal account and transfered the domain name to another Registrar. the steps involved was.1. Payment of cash(I payed it through paypal)2. Authorisation mail is sent to the admin of the account( Unfortunately in our case it wa Read more:Names

Is it in front of the computer playing games? or Is it by surfing internet, web logs ...etc.?Or is it an outing with friends or do you enjoy bars and nightlife in San Diego ? What ever it is make sure that you are not overstressed by work. Plan a vacation every month, spend some time with your family and make the things going.

Years before, when I was studying for my undergraduate course, I fell in love, love with a girl in my class. That wasn't infatuation, but true love.
