KUNTHUNATH BHAGAVAN - 17 The name of the

powerful and illustrious

king of Khadgi town in

Purva Mahavideh area

was Simhavaha. He was

a very devoted and

religious person when

his son became young

and capable, he handed

over his kingdom to the

son and took Diksha

from Samvaracharya. As a result of his vigorous

penance and devotion for the Arhat, he earned the

Tirthankar-nam-and gotra-karma. Completing his

age he reincarnated in the Sarvarthsiddha

dimension of gods.

From the dimension of gods he descended into the

womb of queen Shri Devi, wife of king Shursen of

Hastinapur. During her pregnancy the queen saw a

heap of gemstones known as Kunthu in her

dreams. This inspired the king to name him

Kunthu Kumar. The pious deeds of earlier birth

resulted in unlimited power and grandeur for

Kunthu Kumar. After Shursen became an ascetic,

Kunthu Kumar ascended the throne. Soon the disc

weapon appeared in his armory and he proceeded

to conquer the world with his mighty army.

Without any confrontation all the kings accepted

his sovereignty and Kunthunath became a

Chakravarti. Many mighty kings and princes used

to be present in his court all the time. After a long

and peaceful reign of twenty three thousand seven

hundred and fifty years he became an ascetic

along with one thousand kings immediately after

Diksha he acquired Manahparyav Jnan. He spent

sixteen years as an ordinary ascetic. Indulging in

penances and other spiritual practices, he attained

omniscience on the third day of the bright half of

the month of Chaitra under a Tilak tree in

Sahasramara jungle outside Hastinapur. His first

discourse was on the subject of "inner purity".

As an omniscient ascetic Kunthunath wandered

around and preached true religion for a very long

period. He then went to Sammetshikhar and

observed a month long fast before breathing his

last. His followers were deeply devoted to him. As

such, a large crowd was present at the moment of

his Nirvana and cremation ceremony. They

witnessed the ceremony with heavy hearts and

tear filled eyes. The mortal remains of Bhagavan

Kunthunath were taken away by the gods for

worship.

ARNATH BHAGAVAN – 18 King Dhanpati of

Susima city in

Mahavideh area took

Diksha from Samvar

Muni and after

acquiring Tirthankar-

nam-and gotra-karma

he reincarnated in the

Graiveyak dimension of

gods. From here he

descended into the

womb of queen Maha

Devi, wife of king Sudarshan of Hastinapur.

Besides the fourteen great dreams that precede the

conception of a Tirthankar, queen Maha Devi also

saw a gem studded wheel (Ara). accordingly, after

the birth the boy was named Ara Kumar.

When Ara Kumar became young he was married

to many beautiful princesses. Later king

Sudarshan gave the kingdom to Ara Kumar and

became an ascetic. For some years Arnath ruled as

a regional king. Gradually his power and glory

increased and one day the disc weapon appeared

in his armory. He conquered the six continents

and became a Chakravarti. In his attendance were

thirty two thousand kings.

After a long and successful reign, one day

emperor Arnath was thinking about the ever

changing seasons. This triggered a chain of

sublime thoughts that lead to complete

detachment. He renounced all the wealth, power

and glory and became an ascetic. He did spiritual

practices and wandered around. After three years

he arrived in the Sahasramra jungle outside

Hastinapur and stood in mediation under a mango

tree. With the fire of higher meditation he burnt

one after another the four vitiating Karmas

including illusory, knowledge obstructing,

perception obstructing, and power hindering.

Consequently he attained omniscience. His first

discourse after attaining omniscience was on the

subject of "how to win over the enemies like

attachment and aversion."

In this first religious assembly thousands of

individuals became ascetics including his 32 chief

disciples headed by Kumbh. Spending a long

period of twenty one thousand years wandering

and promoting religion, he finally arrived at

Sammethshikhar and attained liberation.

The sixth and seventh Vasudevas and Baldevas

and the eighth Chakravarti (Subhum) were his

followers.

MUNISURVRAT BHAGAVAN – 20 The being that was to

be Bhagavan

Munisuvrat purified its

soul during his birth as

Surshreshta, the king

of Champa city in

Mahavideh. He then

reincarnated in the

Pranat dimension of

gods.

King Sumitra of the

Harivamh clan ruled over Rajgriha town. His

wife, queen Padmavati, gave birth to a son, the

being that had descended from the Pranat

dimension of gods, on the ninth day of the dark

half of the month of Jyeshta. After the traditional

post birth rituals the name giving ceremony was

celebrated. The king announced that since this

being had descended into the womb of queen

Padmavati, she took a variety of good vows and

lead a life as disciplined as an ascetic. As such the

new born named Munisuvrat (vow like ascetics).

In due course Munisuvrat was married and

ascended the throne. After a successful and long

reign he became an ascetic on the eighth day of

the dark half of the month of Phalgun. He

wandered as a ordinary ascetic for eleven months

and attained omniscience under a Champa tree.

His first discourse was on the subject of

"scriptural and applied philosophy". After a long

life devoted to spread of true religion he went to

Sammetshikhar and got liberated on the ninth day

of the dark half of the month of Jyeshtha.

Bhagavan Munisuvrat’s period was an important

period of Jain pre-history. His illustrious

contemporaries and followers included stalwarts

like the ninth Chakravarti-Mahapadma, the eighth

Prativasudev, Baldev, and Vasudev, Ravan, Rama

and Lakshman respectively. The elder brother of

Bahagavan Munisuvrat, ascetic Vishnu Kumar,

also became famous for his pioneering effort of

saving the Jain organization from the oppressions

of mister Namuchi; the Rakshabandhan festival is

celebrated in the memory of that event.

NAMINATH BHAGAVAN -21 The being hat was to be

Bhagavan Naminath

purified his soul during

his birth as king

Siddharth of Kshambi

town in East Mhavideh.

He reincarnated as a god

in the Aparajit

dimension. this being

then descended into he

womb of queen Vipra,

wife of king Vijay of Mithila. As the queen had

seen fourteen auspicious things in her dream at the

moment of conception, the augurs informed hat

the child to be born was going to be a Chkravarti

or a Tirthankar.

During the pregnancy period once Mithila was

attacked by some very powerful kings. Peace

loving king Vijay was at a loss to find a peaceful

solution and was worried. An expert augur told

the king that the pregnant queen should go to the

roof of the palace and look at the attacking armies.

The queen followed the instructions and threw a

loving glance at the large armies stationed on the

fields outside the town. The aura of the pious soul

in the womb was so powerful that it cast a

pacifying spell on the attackers. the kings who

were sure to win the battle, surrendered and

bowed before king Vijay.

This incident inspired the king to name the new

born as Naminath. Born on the eighth day of the

dark half of the month of Sravan, Naminath had a

happy childhood. When he became young he was

married and later was given the reign of the

kingdom. After a long and peaceful reign he

became an ascetic on the ninth day of the dark half

of the month of Ashadh. After nine months he

attained omniscience under a Bakul Tree in a

garden near Mithila. His first discourse was on the

subject of right perception. After a long period of

religious and spiritual activities he went to

Sammetsikhar and got liberated on the tenth day

of the dark half of the month of Vaishakh.

The tenth Chakravarti Harishen was his

contemporary and the eleventh Chakravarti Jai

came in his religious tradition, through much later.

INTERESTED IN

‘HUMANITIES’? GO FOR IT!

“What was your CGPA, beta?”

“10.”

“Wow, a perfect score! Congratulations! So, will

you opt for Biology or Computer Science in class

XI?”

“Actually, I’m not planning to study Science.”

“Really? But why not beta? You must opt for

Science when you’re so bright”. Then when I keep

silent, “I guess you must be interested in Business

and Accounts,so, Commerce then?”

“No, not really.”

A long pause ensues. Then, with amazement and a

hint of disdain “ So, you’re planning to study

ARTS then?”

I must have had this conversation at least a dozen

times through the month of March, after my Class

X results were declared and I announced that I

wanted to opt for the Humanities stream. The

reactions I encountered were always similar:

shock, disapproval, despair and even some serious

counseling. I must confess that hearing the same

thing from so many people did cause some

confusion in my mind and made me doubt my

own choices at times. But I stuck to my guns and

after a year in the “Idiot” section (this is how the

majority of people view the Humanities stream), I

am confident that I made the right choice.

The Humanities stream has been much maligned

for many, many generations while Science has

been considered a clearly superior and preferred

option. I have tried to address below some of the

common harbored misconceptions about

Humanities and my responses to the same:

1. It’s an “Idiot” Stream:

The common misconception is that Humanities is

a stream for those who are not smart or intelligent

enough to `get’ Science in school. That

phenomenon is a thing of the past. Today,

students opt for Humanities not because they feel

they cannot `cope’ with Science but because the

Humanities stream interests them and appeals to

them. A quick survey of the Humanities students

in any school today will reveal that some of the

brightest students have opted for this stream. Why

have they done that? A person studying

Humanities often has a different mindset than

someone who is studying Science. Humanities

students are more aware and passionate about

world affairs, social issues, politics, economics,

human rights issues and so on.

The other point to keep in mind is while some of

the students who opt for Humanities may not be

academically bright in the conventional sense,

they are often very talented in diverse fields such

as music, fine arts, dance or sports. Does that

make them any less intelligent? Anyone who is

familiar with the Multiple Intelligence theory will

know that intelligence transcends beyond

academics. Today, a skilled violinist will be

regarded as intelligent as someone else who aces

every single Olympiad. So, just because some

Humanities students may not get the best grades

does not make them slow or dumb.

2. It’s an Easy Stream:

In terms of course load, Humanities is somewhat

`lighter’ than Science but by no means is it a

cakewalk or a `breeze’. A comparison with

Commerce would put the two streams almost at

par in terms of course work, especially where

Humanities students have also chosen to study

Mathematics and Economics.

Gone are the days when most Humanities subject

required only rote learning and memorizing facts,

figures and dates. The examination pattern today

is radically different in the Humanities stream. To

score well, one needs to go beyond the textbook

and be abreast of current affairs. History and

Political Science may seem like subjects that rely

on rote learning, but they definitely require critical

thinking skills. History, today, is not just about a

chronological study of dynasties and wars but also

focuses on the events that shaped the lives of

common people at different points of time.

Political Science, today, is not confined to a study

of the Indian government, but also requires an

understanding of its similarities and differences to

other political systems and the basic differences in

ideology that have shaped these diverse forms of

polity and society. So, while Humanities students

may not spend every weekend in the stuffy

confines of a coaching center, Humanities

definitely requires a great deal of hard work and

self-study!

3. It Limits Your Career Options:

Today, career options go beyond Engineering,

Medicine and Finance. Most engineers switch

streams early on in their careers and move to

finance or marketing. Why they choose to study

engineering in the first place is always a mystery

to me! In the last decade, there has been an

explosion of non-conventional career options,

many of which require a good grounding in

Humanities rather than scientific knowledge. Mass

Communication, Journalism, Design and Art,

Rural Marketing, Law, Public Policy, Human

Rights, Social Work are some of the career

options that are available to Humanities students.

These career options are not only interesting but

also popular and lucrative.

Humanities with Mathematics is definitely a

strong combination that leaves a lot of options

open, including a career in Business or Finance.

But even for those Maths-haters who chose to opt

for a pure Humanities course, there is no reason to

worry! A Liberal Arts background carries value in

today’s world, with many colleges and employers

looking for individuals who have a wider

perspective on contemporary problems. Nothing

gives you a wider perspective than an education in

Humanities.

I feel lucky that I was able to opt for Humanities

without facing any pressure from my parents and

family. I feel it has enriched my life in many ways

and given me life skills that will stay with me all

through my life, beyond my years as a student.

The heated discussions in Political Science have

encouraged me to appreciate other points of view,

even if I do not necessarily agree with them.

History has taught me to learn from my past

mistakes as well as achievements and helped me

acknowledge the contribution of our ancestors to

the world today. Economics has helped me

understand the theory behind the economic

phenomena and the government polices that we

see around us every day.

I must state clearly that it is not my objective here

to prove that the Humanities stream is superior to

Science or Commerce. Every stream has its

strengths and limitations, and students should

choose streams according to their interests and

career objectives, rather than only studying

Science because it is the `done thing’. If

Humanities genuinely interests you, do not be

discouraged by the stigma that is often attached to

this stream. Mindsets and attitudes in our society

are changing and I’m sure the day is not far when

the Humanities stream will also enjoy a pride of

place in our education system.

WAYNAD - KERALA

TOPOGRAPHY

Wayanad lies between north latitude 110 27' and

150 58' and east 750 47' and 700 27'. It is bounded

on the east by Nilgigris and Mysore districts of

Tamilnadu and Karnataka respectively, on the

north by Coorg district of Karnataka, on the south

by Malappuram and on the west by Kozhikode

and Kannur.

GEOGRAPHICAL DETAILS

Wayanad district stands on the southern top of the

Deccan plateau and its chief glory is the majestic

Western ghats with lofty ridges interspersed with

dense forest, tangled jungles and deep valleys, the

terrain is rugged.

HISTORY

In ancient times the land was ruled by the Vedar

Rajas. Later Wayanad came under the rule of

Pazhassi Raja of Kottayam Royal Dynasty. The

modern history of the district is associated with

the events that took place during the Mysorean

invasion and the long spell of the British rule

stretching over a period of about two centuries.

There was fierce encounter between the British

and Pazhassi Rajah. When the state of Kerala

came into being in 1956, Wayanad was a part of

Cannannore district; later in 1957 south Wayanad

was added to Kozhikode district and north

Wayanad remained with Cannannore district. By

amalgamating the north Wayanad and south

Wayanad, the present Wayanad district came into

being on the 1st November 1980 comprising of

three taluks; Vythiry, Mananthavady and Sulthan

Bathery.

PEOPLE

One important characteristic feature of this district

is the large adivasi population, consisting mainly

of Paniyas, Kurumas, Adiyars, Kurichyas,

Ooralis, Kadans,Kattunaikkans are the different

aboriginal tribes of Wayanad. The Kurichyar is

the most developed among them. They are small

land owners, whereas the members of other tribes

are mostly labourers. Wayanad district stands first

in the case of adivasi population (about 36%)

among other districts in the state.

Wayanad has a large settler population. There are

people from almost all parts of Kerala who

migrated to this fertile land for building up their

lives. Wayanad has a small jain community

consisting of Gowders who came from Karnataka.

They have built beautiful temples all over the

district. Almost all sections of Christianity are

well represented. One fourth population of

Wayanad is constituted by Christians. Muslims

constitute another one fourth population and rest

of the population belongs to Hindus. Their hard

work and sacrifice helped them to prosper. On the

other hand, the last few decades have seen the

complete marginalisation of the indigeneous

people.

Chembra Peak: The hills, rocks and valleys which

contribute to the very unique character of Wayanad provide a lot for adventure tourism. Trekking to the Chembra peak is a risky mountaineering endeavour. Chembra peak, the

highest hill in Wayanad, is near Meppady town. Trekking to the top of this peak takes almost a day. Tourists can also stay one or two days at the top of the peak in temporary camps. District Tourism Promotion Council provides guides, sleeping bags, canvases, huts and trekking implements on hire. The scenic beauty of Wayanad, which is visible from the top of Chambra, is very exhilerating.

Edakkal Cave: This location of breathtaking beauty

is three kilometres from Ambalavayal which is 25 kilometres from Kalpetta. The Edakkal cave in the Ambukuthy mountain, is not a cave in the real sense. As stated in the India Antiquary (Vol.XXX, page - 410) and quoted in the District Gazette, Kozhikode, it is only'a cleft about 96ft. long and 22ft wide in the rock'.

It is a fissure made by a corner of rock splitting off from the main body due to some natural causes. The depth of both the cleft and the fissure is 30 ft. What makes it a cave to the ordinary observer is the fact that in the other portion of the large cleft, an enormous rock, weighing several tonnes, has fallen forming a roof over a large part of it. The rock wall contains some interesting carvings, which represent human and animal figures and objects of human use and symbols. These carvings speak of a highly civilized people of pre-historic age and inspires the archaeologists and historians to rewrite the history of Wayanad and Kerala as a whole.

Kuruva Island: The Kuruva island, 950 acres of

ever green forest on the tributaries of east flowing river Kabani, is an ideal picnic spot, far away from the disturbances of city life. The island is uninhabited. Rare species of

birds, orchids and herbs are the sovereigns of this supernal kingdom. It is 17 Kms. east of Mananthavady and 40 kms. north west of Sulthan Bathery.

Lakkidi: One of the highest locations in Wayanad,

Lakkidi also commands a picturesque scenery. It is about 58 kms. north east of Kozhikode and five kms. south of Vythiri. Lakkidi, the gate way of Wayanad, lies atop Thamarassery, a ghat pass at an elevation of 700 m. above mean sea level.The lofty mountain peaks, the gurging stream, luxuriant vegetation

and the bird's eye view of the deep valley on the south, with its winding roads, are breath taking. The 12 kms.long journey from Adivaram to Lakkidi through ghat road with nine hairpin bends amidst thick forests, is a fascinating experience.

Muthanga Wild Life Sanctuary: Muthanga,

Which is 16 kms. east of Sulthan Bathery, is located very near to the Karnadaka border. Wild forests covering an area of 345 sq.kms form the Muthanga wild life sanctuary; the biggest

abode of wild animals in Malabar. Elephant, spotted deer, bison, tiger, cheeta, wild bear, etc. are found in this sanctuary. The forest Department has facilities for providing elephant rides to tourists, here.

Pakshipathalam: Pakshipathalam in the

Brahmagiri hills at Thirunelli, is a challenging tourist spot for any adventure seeking tourist. To reach Pakshipathalam seventeen kilometres have to be covered through wild forest.

The deep rock caves, formed among the thick blocks of rocks at the northern top end of the Brahmagiri, are the abode of various birds and wild beasts. Special permission has to be obtained from Forest Department to go to Pakshipathalam. District Tourism Promotion Council arranges vehicle, guides, camping equipments, etc. to the tourists, on hire.

Pazhassi Raja Tomb: Pazhassi Tourist Resort at

Mananthavady is a good picnic centre in north Wayanad. There is a good aquarium here. Coin-operated toys for children and boating facilities for tourists are available here. Pazhassi Raja,

the Lion of Kerala, who organised guerilla type warfare against British East India Company, was cremated here in 1805.

Pookot Lake: It is a natural fresh water lake,

brimmed with ever green mountains. The weather here is salacious; the scenic beauty, hypnotising and the nature, unspoiled. Pookot lake tourist resort in Vythiri is the most

sought after tourist spot of Wayanad. There is an aquarium and a green house here. Boating facilities

are also available. Spices and handicraft items are also arranged for sale at Pookot. The lake has an area of 8.5ha. and the maximum water depth is 6.5mtrs. This lake is three kms.south of Vythiri.

Sentinel Rock Waterfalls: This waterfall is at

Vellarimala village near Chooralmala in Meppadi panchayat. It is a picnic spot as well as a trekking centre. The sentinel rock, a rock of more than 200 m.in height, is ideal for rock climbing. Kanthanpara Waterfalls: Relatively smaller than

Sentinal Rock Waterfall and rather less frequented, Kanthanpara and its surroundings are nonetheless very pleasant. An easy hike away from the main road, it is perfect for picnic Soochippara Waterfalls: The waterfalls at

Soochippara near Meppadi is really a treasure of nature, yet to be discovered. The stretches of waterfalls ranging at places from 100 to 300 feet height is a treat to the eyes. The pool

below, provides for water rafting, swimming, bathing,etc. The tree top huts at Soochippara give an unique view of the valleys of the Western Ghats and the glimmering shallow waters of the surrounding springs.

Banasura sagar Dam: This is the largest earth dam in India. The topography here is such that many islands will be formed in the upstream of the dam when the dam is full. These islands with the background of the Banasura hill

will provide a hypnotising sight to tourists.

This rustic looking banana cake blew our socks off with an intense banana flavour and sweet bites of

chocolate. It has a wonderful chewy texture from the oats and a little bit of crunch from the nuts. You’d

never guess it has just two tablespoons of oil and it can easily be made gluten-free by using GF oats!

Ingredients (8-10 slices)

For Cake 2 cups regular oats, processed into a flour

1/2 cup regular oats (not processed)

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed firmly

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/8th tsp ground nutmeg

1/16th tsp ground cloves (optional)

2 tbsp cane sugar (or regular white)

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp kosher salt

2 tbsp coconut oil, melted (or other light tasting

oil)

2 medium very ripe bananas, peeled

1/3 cup applesauce

1/4 cup almond milk

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Fold in: 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips; 1/4 cup

walnuts, chopped; 1 ripe banana, cut into chunks

For Glaze 1 ripe banana (but not too ripe, you still want it solid!)

2 tbsp peanut butter (I used White Chocolate Wonderful flavour)

1/2 cup icing sugar, sifted

Pinch of kosher salt, to taste

Instructions

For Cake 1. Preheat oven to 350F and lightly grease a 8 inch (4 cup) casserole dish or 8” cake pan. Take 2 cups of

regular oats and process them in a food processor until flour like in consistency.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (processed oats, regular oats, sugars, spices, baking

powder, and salt).

3. In another bowl, mix together the oil, applesauce, almond milk, and vanilla. Add in the two peeled

bananas and smash into the wet ingredients until smooth.

4. Add the wet mixture to the dry and stir until just combined. Now fold in the chips, optional walnuts, and

the chopped banana.

5. Spread into prepared pan and bake for 36 minutes at 350F or until a toothpick comes out clean. The cake

must be cooled for at least 15-20 minutes before attempting to remove.

6. Once fully cooled, slice and top with PB Banana Glaze (see below). Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Makes 8-10 servings.

For Glaze Mash banana in a bowl until smooth. Add in peanut butter and mash until combined. Sift in the salt and

icing sugar and stir until fully combined. Makes about 2/3 cup glaze. Store in fridge in a sealed contained for

1-2 days.

This is another popular recipe on the blog and everyone always raves about it! No one can believe that 1)

this torte is vegan, and 2) It contains avocado! Nope, you can't taste it, but it does provide this torte with a

luxurious creamy base. Now you can feel good about eating a decadent torte made with wholesome

ingredients. Be warned: It's highly addictive and will call your name from the freezer!

Ingredients (8-12 servings)

Crust ingredients • 1 cup + 6 tbsp whole grain spelt flour

• 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp cocoa powder

• 1/2 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 cup + 1/3 cup white sugar OR 1/2 cup

sugar + 1/3 cup Sucanat

• 1 tbsp arrowroot powder

• 1 tsp kosher salt

• 4 tbsp + 2 tsp canola oil

• 1/2 cup almond milk

• 3 tbsp pure maple syrup

Filling • 2 cups avocado flesh (approx 4 medium

avocados), pitted and scooped out

• 1/3 cup almond milk (revised amount)

• 2/3 cup pure maple syrup

• 1 tbsp smooth peanut butter (or almond

butter)

• 1 tbsp arrowroot powder

• 1/4 tsp kosher salt

• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

• 1 cup + 2 tbsp chocolate chips, melted

• 1/4 cup cocoa powder, sifted

Instructions

• 1. Preheat oven to 375F. In a large bowl, sift together the dry crust ingredients (spelt, cocoa powder,

baking powder, arrowroot powder, sugar and salt). In a medium bowl, whisk the wet crust

ingredients (oil, maple syrup, milk). Add wet to dry and stir well.

• 2. In a 10 inch springform cake pan, scoop on the crust batter and spread out with a wet spoon or wet

hands. The batter will be very sticky so you will have to keep wetting your spoon/hands. Spread out

as evenly as possible and bake for 22-25 minutes at 375F.

• 3. Meanwhile, prepare the filling by placing all filling ingredients (except chocolate chips) into food

processor. Process until smooth.

• 4. Once the crust is done baking, remove from oven to slightly cool off for about 5-10 mins. Now

melt your chocolate chips in a small bowl and place melted chocolate into food processor mixture.

Process until smooth. Scoop this filling into cake pan on top of crust. Smooth out as much as

possible and then place in the freezer for 1.5-2 hours to firm up.

• 5. Remove from freezer and allow to sit on the counter for about 10-15 minutes before serving

chilled. Serves 10-12. Place leftover torte in the freezer wrapped and placed in a seal container. I’m

not sure how long it lasts in the freezer, but I would guess 1-3 weeks if sealed properly.

• Note that this torte should be served chilled as it looses it’s firm shape when at room temperature.

Eric and I also agreed that it tasted much better chilled too!

How To: Back up and restore Android apps and data directly from a PC

Here is a quick tool to help you back up and restore apps on any Android phone.

If you are an advanced user of Android-based smartphones, then you will definitely have a rooted device.

And if you are anxious about installing speedy and updated custom ROMs, then you are likely to install a

new ROM almost once a week. Installing a custom ROM is most often a time consuming job. The procedure

involves taking backups of your installed apps using a backup utility such as Titanuim Backup or My

Backup Pro. Then you need to restart the phone, enter the recovery mode and take a Nandroid backup. Then

the phone has to be flashed with a new firmware and you have to configure it all over again to install your

backup utility and restore your data. Custom ROMs most often include file browsers, which might make

work a bit simpler so that you can install the backup utility directly from the SD card. If not, you have to set

up your Wi-Fi or 3G, set up the Google Play account and download the app all over again. Irritating, isn’t it?

In adddition to this, there are sometimes issues with the backup utility not being able to restore across

different ROMs and Android versions. This further demands your patience to select certain apps and restore

only those to avoid issues with the new ROM.

Select the apps to back up or restore; option to install to SD card is possible

But hold on, there is a superb Windows utility called APK Batch Installer Tool developed by a Malaysian

guy called Hamsteyr (code name on XDA) that can make things easier for you. The developer created this

software simply because he would often flash his handset with newer ROMs. It is a simple little Windows

utility that is packaged with adb.exe and all it needs is a new folder to store the apps and its data. The utility

has the ability to back up all user apps, its data and restore them all with or without data in batch mode. You

can also choose where the app is installed (internal memory or SD card). It can back up and restore SMS

too. Additionally, using the utility, you can batch rename apps using their app names or readable names,

whichever suits you best. All it needs is the USB cable and a rooted Android phone with USB Debugging

enabled. The utility also can greatly help those who need to reset their phones and redo all the applications

again. If you don’t have root enabled on your phone, then you will be able to restore only applications and

not the data. In order to root your phone, please check out how it can be done for your phone on the XDA

forums.

Rename apk files and backup SMS; you can use the utility over Wi-Fi too

Download the APK Batch Installer Tool by clicking here. It is a zip file and all you need to do is extract it

to a folder on your desktop or in the C: drive. Inside the folder will be the self executable file, which does

not need installation. Run it and a window will open up with the simple GUI interface. The rest of the

program is self explanatory. Connect your phone to the PC using the USB cable and select the appropriate

function command from the drop down list. Click on next and the procedure begins. You don’t need to

restart your phone once the backup or restore has been completed. The process will take some time

depending on the amount of data to be backed up or restored and the speed of your data transfer. Here are

the screenshots demonstrating the steps you need to follow for each process.

We have successfully used this utility to batch install apps and app data across multiple Android phones and

tablets.

FIVE THINGS EVERY

INVESTOR SHOULD KNOW

IN THIS ECONOMY

Every now and then a press release from a

financial planner will come across my inbox and

put a smile on my face because it makes my job

easier.

A certified financial planner and vice president at

Bernard R. Wolfe & Associates in Chevy Chase,

Md. gave investors — and busy writers like me —

something to consider the day after the State of

the Union Address by President Obama. Is it

going to be more government spending, or less? Is

the economy going to grow, or is it going to

stagnate? Is the Dow really worth 14,000 points

with low growth, or are we in for a fall?

“We have been having a tough economic time for

a while now, and we don’t know how long it will

last. Yet it’s still important to

make investing a high priority, so that you can

enjoy strong long-term benefits,” she said in a

press release Wednesday.

Here are 5 things her firm thinks every investor

should know in this economy, plus some further

thoughts her and I discussed over the phone.

Accompanying exchange traded fund products

and mutual fund serve as illustration only and

were not discussed with Fraelich during the call.

1. Don’t wait.

For many people, it may seem that these current

economic times make it better to hold off on

making investments. But that may not be the case.

It may be better to keep investing and looking

toward the long-term future.

“I try to give my clients analogies that make sense

to them. When paper towels go on sale, don’t you

stock up? So why not do the same when stocks are

selling at a discount? It doesn’t have to be all or

nothing. Maybe you start a dollar cost averaging

program. You don’t have to buy the S&P 500

that’s at a high,” she says. “Maybe you go to

something that’s not as rosy right now; something

that has longer term value.”

.

2. Diversify.

For the most part, you want to diversify

your investments. This can help to protect you

more if there are economic troubles. You don’t

want every strategy in your portfolio to be

moving in the same direction at the same time.

You only know that you’re truly diversified if

portions of your portfolio are behaving differently

from each other over similar periods of time.

“You used to diversity by buying fixed income or

through different types of assets classes, and then

you hoped you had a good advisor telling you

what to overweight. But since 2008, that approach

hasn’t mattered because everything fell except

cash and Treasury bonds. We diversify now by

going after things that are not correlated. You

have to go after alternative asset classes to get

that, liked managed futures or senior corporate

loans,” she said, naming a few ideas. ”We

diversify now with correlations as well as asset

classes. I tell my clients that quite frankly, as

counter intuitive as this sounds, I tell them a good

portfolio really has things going up and also going

down.”

3. Consider re-balancing.

Now may be an ideal time to look at re-balancing

your portfolio. This is especially helpful if many

of your investments were made a while ago and

may not account for the current market trends.

“Some people make investments and just let it sit

there. When asset classes have big run ups, you

have to take some profits off the table and not

think they’re going up forever. You have to make

unemotional decisions. If you want to be 20

percent international and the market in that space

has gone up, it is wiser to sell so you’re not

overloaded with international,” she said.

4. Turn off the TV.

If you had believed all of the negative news in

the media over the past 4 years about Europe, our

national, debt and political strife, hopefully you

didn’t react. If you had, you would probably be

hiding cash in your house instead of investing and

you would have missed out on a lot of the

recovery. There is no direct relationship between

the economy and how the stock market moves

in today’s environment.

“Think of everything we’ve heard in the last year

about the economy, about gold. Anyone who

gives you blanket investment advice is not talking

to you directly. They don’t know your situation.

They don’t know your risk tolerance. If we

listened to all the negative news, we’d never

invest,” she said. ”A lot of the guys giving you

the advice have something to sell. Most people on

TV have some kind of bias towards their

investment ideas, whether you know it or not.”

5. Professionals can help.

Even though the economy may be shaky, it

is important to keep investing and to do so wisely.

This can be easier if you work with a professional

financial planner who can offer guidance to you in

this economy and help you be more successful

with your investment endeavors.

“We are busier than ever right now. We don’t

have proprietary products. We’re coming up them

with a planning focus for clients and are not

selling a certain fund. I think people have come to

see that independent planers are more in-tune with

their needs,” she said. “Not just for the long term,

which is our focus, but also for short and medium

term concerns.”

AATMA – MOVIE REVIEW

The horror genre is getting increasingly popular

with the top ranks in Bollywood. From A-list

actors to reputed production houses, the output of

horror movies has, all of a sudden, shown an

upward trend in recent years. Besides, horror in

Hindi films is no longer limited to ghosts or

skeletons. It's about projecting the emotion called

fear most valiantly.

With the 3D technology making a big splash

across the globe, the trend of making horror films

in 3D has already caught on in Bollywood.

Vikram Bhatt's HAUNTED, DANGEROUS

ISHHQ and RAAZ 3 and Ramgopal Varma's

BHOOT RETURNS narrated spooky tales in 3D.

While I am not against this technology, I am glad

Suparn Verma decided against making AATMA

in 3D because this one's a psychological thriller --

more of a human drama -- and the 3D glasses

would've only acted as a blockade.

First things first,

AATMA is *not*

the quintessential

horror film. It's not

about a haunted

house or a

tormented spirit thirsting for vengeance. It has

layers. It has supernatural elements. It tackles an

abusive relationship. It's about a strong emotional

bonding between a mother and child. Primarily,

it's the fight between a woman and her dead

husband over their child. An interesting concept

without doubt, but what comes across on screen is

such an anticlimax!

AATMA narrates the story of a mother who must

fight to keep her daughter safe from the ghost of

her father. Maya's [Bipasha Basu] peace lies

shattered when she discovers that her husband

[Nawazuddin Siddiqui] intends to take their

daughter, Nia [Doyle], with him to his world. The

world of the dead!

To give the credit where it's due, AATMA doesn't

resort to appalling, nauseating visuals. It's low on

gore, but high on atmosphere and mood.

Unfortunately, Suparn presents the age-old beliefs

without giving a new spin to the fight between the

dead and living. The film is spiked with been-

there-seen-that kind of situations. To make

matters worse, Suparn uses evocative visuals and

an unsettling story to create a spooky atmosphere,

but it doesn't deliver any scare. Its biggest

shortcoming is, it incorporates a lot of shocks in

the narrative, but no real surprises. Yet another

inadequate aspect is its resolution, which, ideally,

should've been the highpoint. Even the pacing is

too slow for a psychological thriller.

Sure, Suparn runs his mind's eye wild in a couple

of sequences, but

those chunks are few

and far between.

Cinematography

captures the

prevalent tension

well. The sound quality, the lifeline of this genre,

is appropriate. The background score,

surprisingly, is not as impactful.

Bipasha tasted blood with RAAZ 3 and in

AATMA, she gets to portray the central character

yet again: A tormented housewife and a distressed

mother. However, unlike RAAZ 3, AATMA

doesn't offer her the podium to demonstrate her

acting skills, although the talented actress gives

her best shot. Nawazuddin, who won laurels in

GANGS OF WASSEYPUR and TALAASH last

year, forays into mainstream Bollywood with

AATMA. Surprisingly, he too doesn't get any

scope to prove his credentials. Doyel, the child

artist, handles her part wonderfully. Shernaz Patel

is alright. Darshan Jariwala is effective. Jaideep

Ahlawat gets minimal scope. Shiv Subramaniam

doesn't impress.

On the whole, AATMA stands on a weak script.

Besides, there are hardly any scares here.

Disappointing!

JOURNEY FROM A KUTCHI BANYA

TO HINDI FILM INDUSTRY’S TOP

MUSIC DIRECTOR

Kalyanji and Anandji were born to Virji Shah on 2

March 1933. Their father was

a Kutchi businessman who had migrated

from Kutch to Mumbai to start a Kirana

(provision store). The two brothers began to learn

music from a music teacher -who actually knew

no music- and taught them in lieu of paying his

bills to their father. One of their four grandparents

was a folk musician of some eminence. They

spent most of their formative years in the hamlet

of Girgaum (a district in Mumbai)

amidst Marathi and Gujarati environs — some

eminent musical talent resided in the vicinity. The

brothers are known for their humility and easy-to-

approach nature. They also are well known for

their love songs and poetry readings.

In April 2007

through May

2007, Anandji

Virji Shah

visited the

Tampa Bay Area

for the Jain

society's revival

concert. It was

hosted by

Kuleen.

Anandji was

born to Virji

Shah on 2 March

1933.His Brother

and partner

Kalyanji was elder to him. Their father Virjibhai

was a Kutchi businessman who had migrated from

Kutch to Mumbai to start a Kirana (provision

store). One of their four grandparents was a folk

musician of some eminence. They spent most of

their formative years in the hamlet of Girgaum (a

district in Mumbai) amidst Marathi and Gujarati

environs, where some eminent musical talent

resided in the vicinity.

Though Anandji wished to become an actor, he

realised his height would act as a hindarance. But

his love for films, helped him gain knowledge

about direction, editing, and the behind - the

screen technicalities.

He along with his brother Kalyanji, started

playing for small muscical shows,in and around

Mumbai. Kalyanji got the opportunity to play the

'BEEN'in the film "NAGIN" which had music by

Shri Hemant Kumar, a well known Music

Director. The instrument used to play the 'BEEN'

was called CLAVALION. The brothers are known

for their humility and easy-to-approach nature.

They also are well known for their love songs and

poetry readings. In April 2007 through May 2007,

Anandji Virji Shah visited the Tampa Bay Area

for the Jain society's revival concert. It was hosted

by Kuleen.

Anandji of the

music maestro

duo Kalyanji

Anandji tells

Jyothi Venkatesh

that the

paradigms and

the ambience

have changed in

the field of music and hence no wonder sound has

overtaken melody these days In what way has the

scenario as far as Music Direction is concerned,

changed over the years? Times have definitely

changed over the years as far as the music

scenario is concerned.

Gone are those days when the producers used to

inspire the music directors and help them in their

creative inputs, unlike today when most of the

producers interfere with their music directors,

because in turn they are dictated by the music

companies. What could be the reason for this

drastic change? Today, strangely enough the

competition among the music directors is not

about work but who will steal which tune first

before the others. Today the actors talk in English

whenever they appear in a show though they are

there in the first place to promote their films

which are in Hindi. Can you elucidate? The tone

in the film Nagin was Indian though we had used

a synthesiser, though everything has changed

drastically with time and today music directors try

to use the synthesiser whether the composition is

ethnic or for that matter Western.

To what extent has the camera also contributed to

the huge change in music picturisations? I would

not hesitate to give the credit where it is due and

give the credit to the camera for having played a

very big role in the change that has been brought

about in music in films. Take for example the

song Main Ban Ki Chidiya Ban Ban Ki, which

was captured with a static camera. Trends changed

when the trolley and the zoom were used to

picturise song sequences, which started becoming

innovative with the changing techniques. What do

you have to say about the new concept of instant

music? With more and more facilities at their

disposal, it is a tragedy that most of the music

directors today have ceased to be innovative.

While the music directors of yore always went in

for sanskriti, the music directors of today opt quite

often for not sanskriti but vikriti. If the songs do

not click now and are forgotten after you listen to

it initially the reason is that they are far too loud

and it is more of noise and less of melody. If only

you hear the modern songs today in film after

film, it looks like every one today is just waiting

to dance. Do you miss the presence of the music

director and the singer while recording today?

Yes. Today a singer comes and sings and the

music director works in isolation on the song.

Music director Shamir Tandon recorded the Daata

Sun Le song in the film Jail by sending the song

by computer to Ashaji who was in Los Angeles

who then recorded the same there and sent it to

him. Is music being churned out as per the

demand? Today there is absolutely no question of

demand and supply as the music directors are

prone to tell you when you ask them why the

quality of music has over the years deteriorated. It

is only a lame excuse and it is sad that the music

directors today do not have confidence in what

they can do. While the music directors of yore

always went in for sanskriti, the music directors of

today opt quite often for not sanskriti but vikriti

Hasn"t Indian music come of age with A.R.

Rahman bagging the Oscar as well as Grammy? If

only the entry had been sent from India, I am one

hundred per cent sure that the song Jai Ho from

Slumdog Millionaire would not have been even

considered for Grammy or for that matter the

Oscars. Do you see the change only in music or in

every field today in films? The change has come

about not in music directors today but also the

fans who are no loner as loyal to their favorite

actors like they used to be in the past. Today"s

young girls change their favorite heroes in three

weeks and because the youngsters do not have

time, it is indeed a very sad state of affairs that

they feel that they need to be told about

everything in just a nutshell.

Fusion seems to be the

order of the day today!

Today fusion is the

order of the day but I

feel that fusion is only

confusion, which is not

at all surprising because

in society today, the

child silences his or her

mother by calling her

not maa but mum and

actually 'kill" the father

ahead of time by calling

them dad and not pitaji, like in the good old days.

What, according to you, is the biggest change as

far as music is concerned then and now? The

biggest change that has taken place as far as music

is concerned is the fact that though we sued to

hear songs through radios then, these days we hear

songs over TV. Since at that time, only the radio

was there, we could even relate to the romance of

the lead pair. Paradigms and the ambience have

changed and hence sound has overtaken melody

these days.

On Aug.23 2012, all roads seemed to lead to

Ravindra Natya Mandir in midtown Mumbai’s

Prabhadevi at 7.30 p.m. with cars double-parked

on the road and sidewalks after the venue’s

parking lot was full. The show, which went on

well past midnight after starting almost on

schedule, seemed to have provided glue to the

audience seats – for barely a soul stirred till the

end as Viju Shah and a troupe of musicians.

want to have and be seen having discernment. It

is okay to pick and choose.

Sagittarius - A lightning bolt can illuminate in a

way no other light can. Believe your first gut

well. Delay meeting until mid-week if you can.

Interactions are more open, if not more clear, and

it is easier to speak in a position of authority or

with authorities . Don't wait to say it or put the

card in the mail. Do work that requires high

levels of concentration or communication.
