The Manly way to generate more Intelligence and brain power

Everybody wants to be intelligent, but no one wants to develop it. Intelligence is made and it is not something you are born with.

For some people, the ability to be social and recognize social situations and act accordingly is Intelligence. 

Intelligence is knowing how to get wealthy for a person who wants to dwell in luxury. 

Intelligence is knowing how to get those six packs through diligent exercising. 

Brain power is very subjective and you have to have your own definition of that. And you may have more than one definition across different areas of expertise. 

One of the most generic form of brain power is called Presence of Mind. 
And like any other brain power, it can be cultivated. 

And here is how it can be done.......

1. Have more experiences
You cannot sit in a room and think your way through life. You have to experience Life to live it with a heightened sense of being alive and hence with good brain power. 

2. Get as many perspectives as you can
The more perspectives you get, the more your thinking capabilities.

3. Never have an Ego that you are above all no matter how intelligent you are
I think this is the first step anyone should have to cultivate your so called, "Brain power".  The more empty you think you are, the more you will be filled. 

4. Stop thinking of trying to cultivating brain power all the time. 
This quote from the movie Knockaround Guys says it all. 
"500 fights, that's the number I figured when I was a kid. 500 street fights and you could consider yourself a legitimate tough guy. You need them for experience. To develop leather skin. So I got started. Of course along the way you stop thinking about being tough and all that. It stops being the point. You get past the silliness of it all. But then, after, you realize that's what you are."

It stops being the point. And on one fine day you finally realize that you have so much Intelligence and brain power.

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
