DreamingAway

Such is the strength of your mind, such is the beauty of life - you never know what it would bring the next, full of  surprises. You may be playing and laughing with your friends and it could be just a single word someone utter that would take you many years back. You don't have to plan for this going back, you don't have to be predefined to have that thought at that moment, in fact, you never can - it just comes. And the greatness of that is it can make your laughter into tears and tears into smiles. The kid crying for a chocolate, the curly hair of a girl, beach volleyball in the evening, the violet flower next to your campus, "The seasons in the sun", ... a whole lot of reminders, world of reminders. Perhaps that is why old is gold - you attach yourself into the everything of this world; you see your life in everything you see. How strongly they control your very moment of your time, your own emotional balance. You can never list all the things that you remember ...

What can you do if the iPhone Home button doesn't function? The old iPhone I use lost its Home button. Home button is used to bring the unlock screen. Fine, I managed it with either the Power button or the Volume buttons. Open an application and there comes the second problem. How do I quit the application? I need the Home button to quit and go back to the home screen. No way... just no way, power off the device and restart seems to be the only option. Can you imagine it, such a horrible situation? iOS 5 has AssistiveTouch feature but that cannot be installed in the older device. After reading few of the articles, I tried Emergency call option. It is somewhat OK solution now. Here is how it works. Open an application Once done, lock the screen with passcode Bring the unlock the screen Tap on Emergency call and tap on the return button Now unlock the screen and the previously opened application is closed Any software solution?    Kovil Pillai P.

I read the book "பஞ்சம், படுகொலை, பேரழிவு: கம்யூனிஸம்" by Aravindan Neelagandan (அரவிந்தன் நீலகண்டன்). It once again proved that words have so much power. Regardless of whether the book has complete truth in it or not, it is impressive, very impressive in my recent readings. It broke all my positive opinion on communism. It destroyed Lenin and Stalin from my treasure of leaders. I started hating Nehru and his family. But then, the communist countries Russia and China are still greater ones as a nation. How do they achieve it? Why we afraid of them so much? Kovil Pillai P.

I was reading a Tamil book நான் நடிகன் ஆன கதை-சார்லி சாப்ளின் (சுரா, வ.உ.சி நூலகம்)  that I bought recently . I never thought Charlie Chaplin was a hero in real life. It was inspiring to read a book about him. I watched two of his movies "The Great Dictator" and "City Lights" after reading the book. Both of them are excellent. Kovil Pillai P.

I always believe that the Creator/creation of the world has the perfection in the design. The deepest 'nested ifs' of this design can never fail and nothing left for unexpected. Of course, though you can practice to be otherwise, either intentionally or unintentionally, I assume women are designed to have all the softer qualities and men to complement them. Adjusting with each other is the real challenge and I guess marriage provides the best of platforms for it. And that is why I believe the relation between husband and wife is the best of all relationships. In fact, I would say, married life is a battle between the two to adjust with each others' nature, apart from fulfilling the custom followed by the society. The real beauty of this battle is to have no loser. It is a failure of married life when one feels defeated. In retrospect, I am sure these cute silly battles would take part in gladdening the heart. To my belief, understanding and patience are the top two qual...
