November 6, 2006 - IS THIS REALLY WORTH ENOUGH? ( BLAST ON YESTERDAY 05-11-2006)

Dear Bloggers,
with painful heart, I am writing this message, what is happening here? when this state is going to grow? are we really Indians? or some aliens? why it is happening here? what they really want? WHO ARE THEY?  DONT SAY THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR THEIR RIGHT AND ALL, IF THEY REALLY FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT, THE SAME RIGHT IS THERE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO DIED ALSO TO LIVE IN THIS WORLD. Really such an arrogance I have never seen anywhere in India, most of the states, except Jammu and Kashmir (J&K)I visited. But, like this situation I have never faced anywhere, what the poor general public has done for the culprits who made this project? , after all a coolie man who is dying for his everyday's bread and butter, how he suffered this people? If they have that much power to kill the people, let them go and show their power in J&K with the militants, why the general public? , if they think , by doing this way they can get the attention of the public and the mercy from them , then they are real IDIOTS and STUPIDS, sofar no one claimed for the attacks, if  anyone claims, they will definitely face the consequences in the coming elections.
  Just now heard the news from one of my friend that today also there was a blast in Beltola Chariali, this is not the way to get the attention of General public na? when they are going to learn the things to approach the Government in a calm way to have a real peace talk? hopefully that day will come soon. Today morning there was an earthquake also in the state, all natural calamities are attacking at the same time this extremists too attacking the public means, again the state has to goto stone age only.
with painful heart,
siv

September 9, 2006 - Story of a Man. ....

Story of a Man. ....


I was happy. My girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year, and so we decided to get married.  My parents helped us in every way, my friends encouraged me.

And my girlfriend? She was a dream!

There was only one thing bothering me, very much indeed.

That one thing was her younger sister. My prospective sister-in-law was twenty years of age, a beautiful young lady, very open minded and sexy.

One day little sister called and asked me to come over to check the wedding invitations.  She was alone when I arrived.

She whispered to me that soon I was to be married, and she had feelings and desires for me that she couldn't overcome and didn't really want to overcome.

She told me that she wanted to make love to me just once before I got married and committed my life to her sister. I was in total shock and couldn't say a word. She said, "I'm going upstairs to my bedroom, and if you want to go ahead with it just come up and get me."

I was stunned. I was frozen in shock as I watched her go up the stairs.  I stood there for a moment, then turned and went straight to the front door.  I opened the door and stepped out of the house and walked straight towards my car.

My future father-in-law was standing outside. With tears in his eyes he hugged me and said, "We are very happy that you have passed our little test. We couldn't ask for a better man for our daughter. Welcome to the family."


The moral of this story ???

Keep your condoms in your car, never in your wallet.
(He actually went out to get his condom)

September 2, 2006 - A nice love story

It was a lovely December morning in the hottest city in the world. All right, so that was a little unfair. Chennai is not the hottest city in the world. But it certainly is the city with the most uncomfortable weather among the cities that I have lived in. And I've been around. But I digress.


I was in the company bus on my way to work, as usual trying to catch up with my sleep. On this particular day, a girl got on the bus, came to my seat and sat down. "Good Morning," she said. I looked back at her through half closed eyes, replied "Good Night," and then proceeded to return to my half hour nap before the bus reached the office. Unfortunately, I was woken up by a punch in the arm.


"Wake up, bozo!" She was looking at me with a big smile on her face. "I'm not sitting next to you to listen to you snore."


Half-heartedly, I opened my eyes and turned to her. "What's up?" I asked.  
 
Preeti Mehra was tall, good-looking and slightly tomboyish. She was also my best buddy. "Come on," she said. "Don't look so disappointed. You'd rather sleep than talk to me?"


"I talk to you everyday, Preeti."
 
"You also sleep everyday."
 
"It's not enough."
 
"So you've had enough of talking to me, eh?"
 
You can't argue with a statement like that, so I had to give up. I grinned and said, "OK, sweetheart. What's on your mind?"


"I wanted to tell you what happened yesterday. Can you guess?"
 
"Anurag called you last night."
 
"How did you know?" She was stunned.
 
"Oh, he asked me for your number yesterday."
 
"And you gave it to him?"
 
"What else could I do? And stop complaining. You've been drooling over him for weeks now. He must have thought he had a chance."


Preeti was the kind of girl who would openly ogle at every other guy she saw. And yet, she would not respond to any advances of a romantic nature. She'd happily join a group of boys to go to a cricket match, but if asked out to a movie, dinner, or even coffee, she'd never say yes. She defined 'Hard-To-Get'.


"You like putting me in these situations, don't you?" she said.
 
"No. That's not true. I love putting you in these situations!"
 
That invited another punch in the arm.
 
I had known Preeti for a year. We'd tell each other about our joys and our sorrows, our victories and our defeats. I'd tell her about all my crushes and she'd scold me for being silly. She'd drag me to classical music concerts and I'd add them to the list of things she 'owed me' for.


And though I never let it show, I must say that she punched pretty hard.
 

~*~
It was 12:00 am and my phone was ringing. "Hello," I said, as I picked it up.
 
"Happy Birthday!" It was she.
 
"You're supposed to throw me a surprise party, sweetheart. Not just call to say Happy Birthday."
 
"Well then open your door, dumbo!"
 
So I did and found her, cell-phone in hand, at my doorstep -- with what seemed like half the population of my company. My roommates were supposed to be working late that night. Now I knew why.


I blew a lot of candles (seemed like much more than 25), cut my cake, got kicked in the behind, and got painted with the cake's icing. If Preeti had had her way, she'd probably have preferred to use a paintbrush and a can of paint. But I bribed her with a copy of the book "Lord of the Rings". She'd borrowed it from me three times already. I thought it was about time I gave her a copy for herself.


We chatted for an hour after everyone had gone. "I think it's time I left," she said finally, trying to stifle a yawn. I nodded. I dropped her home in my roommate's car. As she was getting out of the car, I stopped her.


"Hey, Preeti."
 
"What?"
 
"Thanks."
 
"Hey, don't get senti on me now!" she smiled. "Are you trying to worm out of that gift you promised me?"
 
"You know, it's interesting how I'm getting you a gift on my birthday."
 
"That's just because you're stupid," she grinned. "And you better get me that book, or I won't return your copy."
 
"Hey, that copy was a gift to me from my dear friend Preeti Mehra. I can't let you keep that."
 
She wasn't falling for that. "Your dear friend? And what about me? Am I not dear to you?"
 
"Very smart. That won't work with me. I'm not one of your Love Crazy suitors. Why do you need the book anyway? You've read it umpteen times already."


"That is besides the point. You are getting me the book. We both know that." She smiled that wide confident smile of hers. "Good night." And she got out of the car.


I sat there for some time, just thinking. Our conversations were always like this – a little joking, a little teasing and a lot of demanding. But somehow, I felt that something had changed since the moment she had turned up at my door that night. I was still in my reverie when a paper ball landed on the windshield. I craned my neck out of the window and looked up. She was standing in her balcony.


"What are you still doing there?" she whispered loudly.
 
"Waiting for you to start a paper-ball fight," I whispered back.
 
"We can do that tomorrow. Go home now. It's way past your bedtime!"
 
"Ok, mommy," I grinned back. "I'm going home now!"
 

~*~
I'm an extravagant gift-giver, and it is definitely going to be my downfall some day. I made her wait for it, but finally bought her the book. That, and half-a-dozen other omnibus collections of various authors, including a copy each of `The Complete Works of Shakespeare' and `The Complete Short Stories of Charles Dickens'. All I got for it was an "I told you so."


I started spending a lot of time at her place after that. Mostly because I wanted to read all those books, and she wouldn't lend them to me.


"I'm not as stupid as you, ape-man. I'm not falling into the same trap I laid for you. Plus, you dog-ear your books. You're not doing that to these masterpieces. So if you want to read them, you read them here. And if you want to mark your place, use a bookmark."


So that's what I did. She'd even make me wash my hands before I touched the books. It was as if they were sacred.
 
"Need I remind you that it was me that bought you the books in the first place? For my birthday!"
 
"So? They're mine now."
 
"Well, then. I've been meaning to ask you this for a long time. Where exactly is my birthday gift?"
 
"It was in your tummy at one point of time. It's probably been washed into the sea by now."
 
"Huh?"
 
"Remember the cake I baked you on your birthday?"
 
"You what? You can't bake cakes!" That was a mistake. She looked hurt. "You baked me a cake?" She didn't say a word. She just shrugged.


I was stunned. "But you never told me."
 
"You didn't ask." That was typical of her.
 
"It was fantastic! And you wasted most of the icing on me!"
 
"The cake was for you, dumbo."
 
"How long did it take you to make the whole thing?" It had been a two-layered vanilla-chocolate cake with three flavors of very creamy icing. She had done all that!


"Well, the chocolate cake took an hour and fifteen minutes, and so did the vanilla. Then cutting them up and putting them together took another 15 minutes. Each flavor of icing took 20 minutes for preparation, and then putting it on the cake took another half hour. Cleaning up the mess took an hour."


She seldom claimed the credit for anything, but once she started bragging, there was no stopping her. However, I wasn't thinking about that right then.


"You spent over five hours on that cake?"
 
"A little over four hours preparing it, and an hour cleaning up. Yes."
 
I was speechless. I didn't know how to react. She hated cooking.
 
"I forgot to mention," she continued, "the hours I spent the week before that, practicing. Even the birds wouldn't touch the first three cakes!"


I couldn't help but ask. "Why?"
 
"Because the first one got burnt, the second one was only half cooked, and in the third one, I forgot to add sugar."
 
It was just like her, to try to divert the conversation. "I mean why did you spend so much time on baking me a cake?"
 
She looked at me like I'd asked her why the sun rises in the east. "For your birthday, stupid. Of course, I also wanted to beat every gift you've ever got me. Try beating this one." She was grinning like she'd won the world championship.


As far as I was concerned, she had. I'd never spent a week making her anything. I'd never even spent an hour making her anything. Getting her a gift normally involved me taking her to the store, letting her choose and use my credit card. Suddenly, I felt cheap. "Thanks," was the only thing I could say. "Thanks a lot."


"Hey. Are you getting senti on me again?"
 
I was.
 

~*~
I was still mulling over my feelings for Preeti the next day at work when my boss asked to speak to me.
 
I went over to his cabin and he started with the usual greetings, asking how work was going and whether I was comfortable. He then told me that the company wanted to send me to New York for a couple of years. Normally, this wouldn't have made much of a difference to me. I could work anywhere and didn't have too much love for visiting places foreign. But right then, the first thought that came to me was that I'd be away from Preeti for two whole years. Twenty-four hours before, I'd have been disappointed to lose her company. But right then, I was devastated. That was when I knew I was in love with her. I'd had crushes before. Lots of them. But this was different.


"Do you have any problem in going?" my boss asked, since I hadn't responded.
 
"Not really," I replied. What else could I say? That I was in love, and couldn't bear the separation?
 
"When do I have to leave?"
 
I had a month.
 

~*~
"Wow! New York! Great! I've heard it's a fantastic city! Did you know it snows there in winter?" Preeti was obviously very excited about my going. She didn't seem to share my disappointment on what I now saw as 'separation'.


I had not decided then if I was going to tell her how I felt. We'd known each other for a little over a year, and we were very close, but beyond some mild flirting, the relationship had never got even close to romantic. That was, of course, until I found out she had spent a week baking me a cake. It's funny how small things seem to make such a big difference.


"What happened?" she asked. "You don't seem very happy."
 
"Oh," I replied, "it's just that it's so sudden, that's all. And you know I was never all that interested in going to America."


"What an idiot. Go see the place. I've heard the women there are amazingly beautiful." She had a sly smile on her face. I wanted to tell her I didn't care if I laid my eyes on another woman again, if she wasn't with me. But I didn't.


I realized that I only had another month with her. She'd rejected every guy who'd asked her out ever since I'd known her. I didn't want the same to happen to me, and I didn't want to make it awkward between us. I didn't want to risk that month. I wanted it to be the best time I had ever spent with her. After I came back from the US, I might not even get to meet her again. Two years was a long time.


We ate out almost every night. We visited some of the best restaurants in the city. She also helped me shop for warm clothes, formalwear, shoes, toothpaste and a million things I'd never have thought of on my own.


"You need to buy a nail-cutter." My roommates and I shared one.
 
"I've prepared a list of must-have medicines that you should carry."
 
"Your iron won't work in the US. No point buying one here as you need one that works at a hundred and ten volts and has flat pins. You can buy one at a K-Mart or Wal-Mart as soon as you get there."


"You need at least two pairs of formal shoes and at least ten pairs of dark socks. The East Coast has a formal dress code. And you won't do your laundry more than once a week or two."


"How many ties do you have? And which trousers do your blazers go with?"
 
"Better get a haircut before you leave from here. Knowing you, you'll postpone the first haircut for too long."
 
She'd call me up at one in the morning to tell me to add 'one more item' to my list.
 
And with every passing day, I was falling more deeply in love with her.
 
The month swept by quickly. The day I was supposed to leave, I asked her to come with me to the airport. "Of course, dumbo. You think I'd let you go just like that, or what?"


After packing my bags for me and checking the lists for the hundredth time, she finally pronounced me "Good to go."
 
We reached the airport four hours early to beat the rush, because it was an international flight. She got a visitor's pass to sit in the waiting area while I went ahead and checked-in my bags. Preeti had got a spring balance from somewhere and so we knew my bags were well within the weight limit. I finished the formalities and came to sit with her. We had only a few hours before I had to go for my security-check. We decided to get something to eat at the food court. And all the time, the one thing that was going through my head was that, after this, I wouldn't see her for at least another two years.


"Hey, Champ. Why so glum?" She saved 'Champ' for special days. Normally, it was just 'dumbo', 'bozo', 'ape-man', 'matchstick man', 'weirdo', or if she was very irritated with me, 'nutcase'.


"I don't want to go," I said.
 
"I don't want you to go either."
 
"No, you don't understand." I couldn't hold it in any longer. "I can't stand the thought of living without you by my side."


She stared at me. There was a strange look in her eyes. I couldn't read it.
 
"I am madly in love with you, Preeti."
 
At this, a sound escaped her lips that sounded like a cross between a sob and a laugh. "Well, dumbo, you've picked an absolutely fabulous time to tell me about it!"


A tear escaped her eyes. It was all I could do to stop myself from wiping it off her cheeks.
 
"How long have you felt this way?" She seemed amused, though she was definitely crying. I didn't know what to make of it.


"From the day I found out you had baked me a cake."
 
She laughed. "That's all it took? Well, bozo, I guess a way to a man's heart is certainly through his stomach! Hold it. A month? You waited a month? You were the one who kept saying that if you really liked a girl you wouldn't waste a day in telling her!" She was smiling widely now. It looked funny, with her eyes all wet.


"Well, I was confused. How did I know how you'd react? In fact, I still don't understand your reaction. I thought it would change things between us. You've rejected every guy who ever proposed to you!"


"That's because I'm in love with you, you overgrown idiot!"
 
"What?" Somehow, I'd never expected her to say that. She was in love with me? "How long have you been in love with me?"


"Ever since the day you offered to carry my suitcase for me."
 
"But that was the first day I met you!"
 
"I guess I was always a sucker for chivalry."
 
"All this time you've been in love with me and you never said anything! Then you go and complain that I waited a month!"


"You guys are so bad at reading a girl's mind."
 
"You women are so good at keeping your thoughts a secret! Even Einstein couldn't figure you out."
 
"Einstein was a nerd. Casanova, on the other hand, understood us very well."
 
"I love you."
 
"I know."
 
That moment, my dear friends, was magic. I looked into her eyes and took her hands in mine. Physical contact for us had been limited, until then, to a punch in the arm, a slap on the back of the head, or giving each other a 'high five'.


"You realize, don't you," she said, "that this is our first date?" Leave it to her to notice the little things.
 
"I really don't want to go." I'd always maintained that love is a bucketful of emotions. I wasn't exactly delighted to be proved right.


"Don't worry. I'm coming there in a couple of months."
 
"How? On a dependent visa?"
 
She laughed. "For that, I'll have to wait, won't I? I've got a project in New Jersey."
 
I couldn't believe my ears. "What? When did that happen? You never even told me!"
 
"Well, I wasn't sure you'd propose before you left. And I couldn't exactly sacrifice you to those New York women, could I? I had to watch out for myself. So I went on a project-hunting spree. There is an opportunity coming up for a project in about two months. Someone is coming back to India, so I'll be taking his place. They want me there for a little less than two years." She was beaming. "I realized I had struck gold!"


"And if I'd not told you how I felt? When were you planning on telling me about it?"
 
"Around a month before I reached there. I had to make it look natural. Or you'd think I was desperate."
 
"Well, you are desperate!" This was incredible. All I'd done in the past month had been to mope around, listen to sad songs and write her letters that I never intended her to read. "You've been scheming all this while! How come you didn't lay a trap for me a year ago?"


"I tried giving you hints, dumbo, but you just wouldn't pay attention!" She was laughing. "You're the only guy I ever spent any time with. Wasn't that a big enough hint?"


That was true. She would happily join a group of boys to go to a cricket match, but I now realized, only if I was one of them.


"What if I had rejected you?" I was extremely flattered that she'd been crazy about me for a year. My ego was swelling.


"You must be kidding!" she was clearly amused. "I get proposed to every few days. You are the one who's been rejected more times in the last year than I can count on two pairs of hands!"


She really knew how to burst my bubble.
 
"Hey," she said softly, "don't look so dejected. I said 'Yes', didn't I?"
 
I grinned. "Yes, you did. And you've made me a very happy man. But you know what would make me even happier?"
 
"What?"
 
"If you learn to cook as good as you bake cakes."
 
So she punched me in the arm again.

July 24, 2006 - CONSEQUENCES OF ANGER

            SIVANANDA DAILY READING FOR 23 JULY

CONSEQUENCES OF ANGER



A terrible fit of anger shatters the physical nervous system. It

produces a lasting impression on the inner astral body. Although the

effects of a fit of anger may seem to subside in a short time, the

vibration or wave, continues to exist for days in the astral body. A

slight unpleasant feeling that lasts in the mind for five minutes,

may produce a deep inflammation of the astral body. It may take

several weeks or months even for this ulcer to heal.



Now, have you realised the disastrous consequences of anger? Do not

be victims of anger. Control it by love, mercy, sympathy, vicara

(enquiry) and consideration for others. Even slight annoyance, or

irritability, affects the mind and the astral body.



Aspirants should not allow these vrttis (thought-waves) to manifest

in the mind-lake, as they may burst out as big waves of anger at any

moment, if you are careless or weak. There should not be the least

disturbance in the mind-lake it should be perfectly calm and serene.

Then only you will find meditation possible.



It is difficult to control anger. Anger is a manifestation of sakti

(energy). At first, try to reduce its force. and its frequency of

duration. Endeavour to attenuate or thin out this formidable

modification of the mind.



Do not allow this modification to assume the form of a big wave on

the surface of the conscious mind. Nip it in the bud when it is in

the form of irritability. Divert the mind. Entertain divine thoughts.

Do vigorous japa (repetition of God's name) and kirtan (chanting).

Repeat some prayers or slokas (verses) from the scriptures.



Develop the opposite, divine qualities. Develop patience, love,

forgiveness - anger will die by itself, gradually. Blessed are those

high-souled people who can control their anger by pure, strong will

and intellect.



Be serene. Serenity is like a rock. Waves may dash on it but they

cannot affect it. Waves of irritation may break on this rock of

serenity but they cannot affect it. Meditate daily on the ever-

tranquil atman (self). You will attain this sublime virtue of

serenity gradually.

July 22, 2006 - From 2001 - A love story based on an assamese - tamil blend :)

well,
here the story starts :)
www.ghyonline.com, it was the first website, Anubhav saw while he was searching on google to get some north east friends when he joined in IIT Guwahati for his Ph.D Program :). There were many ids with fotos , without fotos, with email ids, with fone numbers, many more. He got impressed by a couple of ids, Anubhuti and Mayakshi, just he sent an email the same day, November 21, 2001.
   Then in his work pressure and his course work tensions, he has forgotten the mail he put. But in a pleasant surprise, after a week time, he got a reply from that person, mentioning that she is a second year student of her college in Dibrugarh, studying bhanikulam medium of her BA in Arts. Her hobbies like web surfing, quizing, reading books, books, books...and enjoying the nature FULLY to the extreme of that. She is a real nature lover, and ofcourse, she is the lover of good english songs too. But unfortunately she was having less fluency in english, so , her mails in the begining were with bit grammar mistakes but still they were very impressive :) with multi color lines and flowers and dolls too :)). They were discussing in mail about their likes and dislikes daily. She used to talk many things in mail, and surprisingly both of their frequencies were matching nicely.

    With a great surprise after a week, he got a good gift from her with her big big lettered letter. It was nice really to say, with lots of admiration and love he opened that gift, it was a nice table weight with a pen stand, inside the pen stand there was some liquid and in that liquid few boats were floating and it was really nice to see them :). He liked that gift and infact he was impressed by that, he also started to write her some mails, lastly one day, he wanted to see her picture and also wanted to hear her voice. Surprisingly , she was not having a scanned photograph of her, but she promised that she will send a photo by post, and in the next email lastly she sent the telephone number of her and asked him to call after 9.30 in the night.
   Infact he got surprised, because it was really a great thing in his place, girls, talking after 9.30 in the night, from home, infront of parents, to a boy??? mostly next to impossible in his place, but she asked him to call in that time, after two more emails, that day had come, night after his aalu and dal dinner ;)  he went to the PCO ( Public call office) to make a call to his home for saying about his health and all to his home, suddenly this girl's number came to his memory, and just in a curiocity his fingers were dialing that numbers, it was ringing, on the third ring , the fone was lifted, and there was a voice " kaak lage?" he got frightened because that was the first time he is going to talk with an unknown person that too in full english, but the voice was asking in an un identified language??? he said " its me anubhav, wanna talk with anubhuti", the reply from that side was.........
( to be continued in the next part :) )

friends please give your feedback that how i am taking the story?Is it ok? or you want the story to be in first person? I am writing it in third person now...feedbacks please....:)
chengam :)

July 21, 2006 - Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins Medical center from Jolaine

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION.....PLEASE READ!
Subject: Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins Medical
Center from JoLaine
 
 
1. No plastic containers in micro.
2. No water bottles in freezer.
3. No plastic wrap in microwave.
 
Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army MedicalCenter as well.
 
Dioxin chemicals causes cancer, especially breast cancer.
 
Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic.
 
Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital, was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us.
 
He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body.
 
Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper.
 
It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc.
 
He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.
 
Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food.
 
Cover food with a paper towel instead.
 
This is an article that should be sent to anyone important in your life!

July 19, 2006 - some e-books on MFC

Visual C++ Mfc Programming by Example


* Add extensions to the Developer's Studio Wizards *
85 examples with complete working code Tired of the
inadequate examples and documentation for MFC and
Visual C++ development? Don't like what the Developer
Studio Wizards give you? Beginning and experienced
Visual C++ programmers will get a leg up with the 85
working examples provided in this book ( each fully
annotated and ready to insert into applications.
Dozens of examples are given for each key area of MFC
including code for windows, classes, messaging,
drawing inside windows, the design and construction of
toolbars, menus, dialog boxes and bars, and custom
controls, such as buttons, list boxes, and scroll
bars. The author provides detailed explanations for
each example, with tips on how to extend and modify
the code for your specific needs. Swanke's
SampleWizard utility, included on the accompanying
CD-ROM, makes the inclusion of these examples into
your applications simple by allowing you to import the
code directly into your existing application. All code
examples are included on the CD-ROM and an MFC Quick
Reference Guide in enclosed.

Visual C++ and MFC Programming 2nd Edition
The second edition of Jeff Prosise's Programming
Windows with MFC is a great introduction to the
programming language that will help you build
client-side applications in MFC. Though it doesn't
cover Internet development, this title provides a
worthy tutorial on traditional MFC programming.
After some MFC basics, the book looks at Graphical
Device Interface (GDI) graphics with a fine discussion
of drawing and font handling. Following this, Prosise
introduces the use of the MFC collection classes (an
alternative to STL) and file I/O, as well as adding
serialization support to custom classes.
He also dedicates a fair amount of text to basic
Windows controls and dialog boxes. His tour of support
for both the Single Document Interface (SDI) and
Multiple Document Interface (MDI) application styles
is just excellent. The built-in view classes in MFC
and how to use them in a Windows Explorer-style sample
program are covered. From there, it's on to other
common GUI interface models such as toolbars, status
bars, and the new Internet Explorer-style rebars.
After a useful section on printing (including some
valuable real-world tips for this tricky topic), the
rich array of Windows common controls is discussed. As
in the first edition, Prosise's introduction to MFC
multithreading and synchronization objects (like
mutexes) is a standout.
The last section of the book provides a comprehensive
discussion of COM and ActiveX programming for the MFC
developer. Although the Active Template Library (ATL)
is omitted here, there are fine examples of building
and using ActiveX controls, including the basics of
OLE automation.
Newly revised with richer examples and the latest
Windows functionality, the second edition of
Programming Windows with MFC provides one of the best
available tutorials for traditional MFC development.
--Richard Dragan The newly updated and expanded second
edition of this acclaimed title covers 32-bit
development for all Mcft(r) Windows platforms,
including Windows 2000, using the Mcft Foundation
Class Library (MFC). Aimed at developers who wish to
capitalize on advances in the MFC for rapid,
object-oriented programming, the book delves into MFC
basics, progresses to the document/view architecture,
then addresses advanced topics including ActiveX(r),
OLE, and COM. Author Jeff Prosise once again sets the
standard in describing the art of writing MFC-based
Windows applications with his clear and comprehensive
treatment of concepts and techniques. Readers will
discover how to produce incredible functionality with
little new code by appropriating MFC code from the
class library. They'll also find sample programs and
executables on the book's CD-ROM to further fuel their
own projects.
