Tumhare paas kya hai ......

A good story that every Senior Manager should read:

Senior Manager working in an MNC, as usual after lunch goes to the cafeteria for coffee.

He relaxes in canteen.. He sees a canteen boy cleaning tables there.

To kill the time he decides to have fun with him. He calls him.

Senior Manager Asks canteen boy : How much do you earn?

Canteen boy just smiles.

Senior Manager: What are your future plans?

Canteen boy keeps quiet

Senior Manager : Where do you see yourself 10 years down the line?

Canteen boy gives a cold stare

Senior Manager- Jab main Bangalore aaya tha tab mere paas bhi kuch nahi tha. Aaj mere paas kya nahin hai....

Naam hai...

Shoharat hai...

Paisa hai...

Izzat Hai....

Tumhare paas kya hai?

How to carry out whois query under Windows

Microsoft Windows Operating Systems does not have a inbuilt whois utility. However, you can download a small whois utility from Microsoft Technet (Windows Sysinternals) to carry out a whois search.

Navigate to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897435.aspx

Download whois.zip from http://download.sysinternals.com/Files/Whois.zip.

Unzip the file.
Open command prompt.
Navigate to the directory where you extracted the zip file.
Execute the command in the following format:

whois domainname [whois.server]

where domainname can be either a DNS name (e.g. www.abc.com) or IP address (e.g. 11.22.11.22)

For the whois.server, you have to select a server from the following whois server list.

Whois Server List 1
Whois Server List 2
Whois Server List 3

An example - whois microsoft.com whois.verisign-grs.com

c:\>whois microsoft.com whois.verisign-grs.com
