Surat is the second largest city in Gujarat and ninth largest in India. The city is situated on the left bank of the Tapi River. The city is largely recognized for its textile and diamond businesses. It is also known as the diamond city of Gujarat. Ninety-two percent of the world’s diamonds are cut and polished in Surat. Surat is also considered a relatively clean city in India. It has one of the highest GDP growth rates in India at 16.5% as of 2008.

Surat has a tropical wet and dry climate, moderated strongly by the Arabian Sea. The summer begins in early March and lasts till June. April is the hottest month, the average temperature being 30^o C. The monsoon begins in late June and the city receives about 800 mm of rain by the end of September, with the average temperature being around 28^o C during those months. October and November see the retreat of the monsoon and a return of high temperatures till late November. Winter starts in December and ends in late February, with average temperatures of around 22^o C, and little rain.

Surat is famous for its diamond industry and textile industry, along with silk and chemicals. It is at the heart of India’s thriving diamond-polishing industry, which in 2005 cut 92% of the world’s diamond pieces and earned India $15 billion in exports.

Surat’s infrastructure is improving steadily. The city has recently seen the completion of a large number of road projects, particularly elevated roads, or flyovers, in the diamond and textile zones of the city. This has significantly cut down the commuting time for many people traveling to the diamond and textile districts. One of the very few “Multi-Layer Flyovers” in India is now in Surat over Majura Gate. The Varachcha Flyover of Surat is India’s longest flyover under city municipal limits in the four lane category.

On the 22nd of August, 2007  bus service was opened by Surat Municiapl. It is considered one of the best city bus services in India. These buses have an LCD screen in the front giving details about the journey. The conductor uses an electronic machine to print out the tickets. The bus stops are relatively modern and comfortable. The bus service is general is relatively hi-tech and modern, which is rare in Indian cities.

The population of Surat according to new city limits is 4,539,358. Males constitute 56% of the population and females 44%. Surat has an average literacy rate of 77%, higher than the national average of 59.5%: male literacy is 81%, and female literacy is 70%.

Surat is well known in India for its Surti cuisine, which includes perennial favorites such as Surti Ghari (a type of mithai), Locho, Surti Undhiyu, Rasaawala Khaman, Cold coco and Surti Chinese. Surti cuisine is not as sweet as other Gujarati food, and is quite spicy. Suratis converge at river Tapi’s banks to eat Ponk, a roasted cereal that is available only in this part of the world.

Many times during working on computer this thing happend. By pressing 2 or more keys at a time monitor view is switched either to vertical on left or right side or it completely appears in reverse order.

To overcome we have two solutions.

1. Hit CTRL-ALT and one of the arrow keys (you know, the ones that move the cursor around).

2. Right click on desktop -> properties. Click the Settings tab and then click the [Advanced] button. In there, you might find a tab called “Intel Graphics” or whatever the name of your card is. Click on that, and often there’s a separate advanced or graphics properties buttons that lets you rotate the screen.

NVidia and Intel graphics drivers both have this “feature”. Graphics driver software that supports this kind of stuff will generally have a manufacturer-specific item in the Control Panel (labelled NVidia, or Intel Extreme Graphics or something like that) or perhaps a little monitor-shaped icon in the system tray. Either of these should get you to a place where you can “disable hotkeys” to make the feature go away (or, if you’re grumblebee, perhaps you can turn it on).

With Remote Desktop, you can connect to your work computer from home and access all of your programs, files, and network resources as though you were actually sitting in front of your computer at work.

You need three things to create a remote location:

1.Microsoft Windows XP Professional must be installed on the computer containing the files and programs that you want to access from a remote computer. The computer must also be part of a corporate network in which Remote Desktop connections are permitted. This computer is known as the host.

2.The remote computer must be running Windows 95 or later. This computer must also have the Remote Desktop Connection client software installed. The remote computer is known as the client.

3.Both computers must be connected to the Internet through a VPN connection.

Note: If you’re not connecting to the host computer through a VPN, you’ll need to use the actual IP address of the host computer instead of the computer name.

To set up the Remote Desktop, start with the host computer, which in this example is your work computer.

1.Verify that you are signed in as the administrator.

2.Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Performance and Maintenance.
