A city of lights, love, and ancient lore. By Bapsi Sidhwa | From the March 1 & 8, 2013 issue.    Ali Arif / AFP L ahore. If I toss up the word and close my eyes, it conjures up gardens and fragrances. Not only the formal Mughal gardens, with their obedient rows of fountains and cypresses, or the acreage of the club-strewn Lawrence Gardens, but the gardens in thousands of private houses with their riot of spring flowers. There is a carnival of jewel colors embedded in emerald lawns and hedges—a defiant brilliance of kachnar, bougainvillea and gulmohur silhouetted against an azure sky. And the winter and spring air are heady. They make the blood hum. I have spent most of my life in Lahore, and the city of 11 million provides the geographical location of my novels. Its ambience has molded my sensibility and also my emotional responses. To belong to Lahore is to be steeped in its romance, to inhale with each breath an intensity of feeling that demands expressio

Barley: Good in fever, while use in a soup form. Dates: The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) said that a house without dates has no food. It should also be eaten at the time of childbirth. Figs: It is a fruit from paradise and a cure for piles. Grapes: The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) was very fond of grapes - it purifies the blood, provides vigour and health, strengthens the kidneys and clears the bowels.

Problem: I’ve decided to re-install windows because of some issues. My new install is ok but I can’t delete the directory of my old windows anymore! Solution: The folder you are trying to delete has it’s administrative privileges locked from your previous windows. You could change the ownership of your folder by right clicking on the folder -> Properties -> Security -> Advanced -> Owner -> Edit -> Select Administrator and put a check on “Replace owner on subcontainers and objects” An Easier Solution: You can also do a command prompt to remove the ownership which is a more straightforward process. To do this, press your window’s Start button, type “cmd”, right click on the “cmd” program that shows up, right click and select run as administrator (running the command prompt with administrator privileges is important). In the command prompt, enter the following command: cacls “c:\WINDOWS.OLD” /t /g administrators:F Note: Don’t forget to change the drive letter

The UAC prompt to click Yes/No appeared very briefly then was rapidly replaced with this error message. Unfortunately this also applied to my beloved ProcMon. So what to do? First to find out to whom the dialog box belonged. Using Process Explorer ( http://live.sysinternals.com/ProcExp.exe ) and the feature to drag a target over a Windows to identify the process I found out the message box belonged to  cmd.exe  if run from Command Prompt, or  Explorer.exe  if launched from Explorer.
