Definition of Manliness!


Man who man would be
Must rule the empire of himself; in it
Must be supreme, establishing his throne
On Vanquished will, quelling the anarchy
Oh hopes and fears, being himself alone.
                                                -Shelley

The  best Quote I have ever read.

Thedi Choru - A Translation and a Happy New Year

A very Happy New Year! I thought I'd do a translation of one of my favourite piece of poetry from Mahakavi Bharathiar. If you don’t know about him, there's Wikipedia. This guy has been demonstrating to me greatly, in how the vocabulary you think can greatly impact the way by which you act; in how the vocabulary in which you think, forges new strong behaviour into you. That's the ultimate power of language. Now that many of you will be having hopes, dreams and significant resolutions for the New Year, a more perfect stage can never be asked for. தேடிச் சோறுநிதந் தின்று - பல சின்னஞ் சிறுகதைகள் பேசி - மனம் வாடித் துன்பமிக உழன்று - பிறர் வாடப் பலசெயல்கள் செய்து - நரை கூடிக் கிழப்பருவ மெய்தி - கொடுங் கூற்றுக் கிரையெனப்பின் மாயும் - பல வேடிக்கை மனிதரைப் போலே - நான் வீழ்வே னென்று நினைத் தாயோ ? நின்னைச் சிலவரங்கள் கேட்பேன் - அவை நேரே இன்றெனக்குத் தருவாய் - என்றன் முன்னைத் தீயவினைப் பயன்கள் - இன்னும் மூளா தழிந்திடுதல் வேண்டும் - இனி என்னைப் புத

(Updated!) Xolo Q800 – A review with pros and cons

UPDATE: Whatever is written below applies for the Xolo Q800 phones with MTK6589 chipsets. The Q800s with  MTK6589M chipsets may or may not qualify for what is written down here. (I think that the phones which costed less than 12k have the MTK6589M chipsets. ) Android smartphones are everywhere these days. They run the latest operating system and they are all identical. You try out different brands and they all have the same android. At the time of this blog post, it is Jelly bean. So, what makes a smartphone different from another. They all have IPS screens, HD playback, ble... all sorts of common stuff. Difference? Xolo Q800 is a smartphone and here is where the difference is. 1. There are absolutely no bloatware in the device. The device is pure stock Jelly bean. There is one app called Xolo care which just sits silently in the corner helping you to check updates to the operating system and contact customer care. Too bad I don't have to root it now to re

(UPDATED!) Motorola Fire XT/ XT530/ XT531 all in one guide to rooting, Increasing Phone memory, Applications, Tweaks and resources – Compiled

I own a Motorola Fire XT myself and I thought it would be of good help if I compiled the resources for this phone together in one page with links for other people to use. All tweaks and methodologies mentioned are because of the hard work of a number of developers. I do not claim any ownership or responsibility to the stuff that I list here. They are not mine. I just happened to search the internet for my own phone and found these links. Respect the Devs. Thank them. I just compiled all the resources here. Now that we have this information across, let’s get started. The following links worked perfectly for my Motorola Fire XT. Rooting Motorola Fire XT: It's just that some users made a claim that their phone soft bricked when trying to factory reset after rooting. Am adding it as a caution. You can still flash SBF files to revive your bricked phone, yet am just saving you tonnes of worry. Update your phone to Android 2.3.5 first if you have not from here. Instruc
