The PC version of IXF (PC/IXF) file format is a database manager adaptation of the Integration Exchange Format (IXF) data interchange architecture.

Lets everyday an earth day

Don’t make a constraints to celebrate earth day on 22nd of April, make your each day an earth day. Think in respect to save the environment, your contribution towards earth. Prefer and promote energy efficient products, gift your friends and relatives a CFL instead of cell phones, a plant instead of flowers, a pet like goat that consumes wastage food items which generally wrapped in a poly bags and thrown to dust bin. Prepare some beautiful paper bag (using wastage news paper), separate food particles from wastage and try to offer those food to animals present at your localities (cattles, street dogs etc.). Decorate your terrace if you have, lucky guys.. with different plant, because recent research say that gardening is better for heart, it gives you happiness as you see the plant is growing day by day. Always participate in go green initiatives conducted by any NGOs or your organisation. Support those organisation which are working on developing environment friendly products like electric cars, water restorage and water recyle, etc. Try to use reusable utensils instead of use n through. Use electronics items till its expiration and always put them in recycle bin.

Do your bit, Reduce Reuse Recycle and celebrate everyday as earth day.

Side Business

A salaried person always have fixed income, and whole day even part of night sometimes consumed by organisation. People there always busy in calculating and planning the expenses… will buy a bike in feb assuming to get performance bonus, will book a flat if get any onsite oppertunity… blah.. blah.. blah.. and very few convert these successfully. ~~~~~chand sapne sanjoye the aane wale dino mein, kuchh haath aaye to aisa karoonga, magar rahon mein aisa mor aata hai, k sanjoye sapne bikhar jata hai~~~~~~ I think that part time work or side business will help to some. Taking a step in this direction and comeup with shopper’s dreams. I don’t know whether it works or not but at least will give a short of satisfaction and will don’t regret in future. Oppertunities comes in different faces or in varient schemes. What will suite you will depends on fate but acting towards in our hands. I never suggest my freinds to indulge in this type of schemes to be a millionaire or so, however i like those who always create innovations.
