Foreword : Don't be wondering at the title, the language is telugu and I am not sure if you guys will be able to view it in your browser. The inspiration behind this article is the stanza from a telugu poem. Thought I should include it, else I would not be doing any justice to any of this article. You can effortlessly skip the below content between the Indian flags, in case you are not interested or do not know telugu.



So anyways, the phrase is taken from a poem called "జయభేరి(Jayabheri - sound of the drums(ranabheri) that are played/sounded in triumph usually after victory in a war)" penned down by a great poet named శ్రీరంగం శ్రీనివాస రావు(Sreerangam Sreenivasa Rao) which inturn was picked from his book called "మహాప్రస్థానం(MahaaPrasthaanam - The Great Journey - 1981)", an anthology of poems. Below here is a one full stanza of the same poem with translation if you are interested.

నేను సైతం - nenu saitham - I also
ప్రపంచాగ్నికి - prapanchaagniki - for the world's fire
సమిధ నొక్కటి ఆహుతిచ్చాను! - samidhanokkati aahuticchaanu - gave an offering for the sacred fire
నేను సైతం
విశ్వ వృష్టికి - vishwa vrushtiki - for the world's rain/misery?
అశ్రువొక్కటి ధారపోశాను! - ashruvokkatidhaaraposaahnu - i added/shed a tear to the stream
-- శ్రీ శ్రీ - జూన్ 2, 1933 (Sree Sree, June 2nd 1933)

Gist : I have as well, given an offering to the auspicious fire that burns in everyone's heart in this world. I have as well, shed a tear for the world's misery.

Main Article:


An old adage suggests that "A picture is better than a thousand words". People back then probably did not have the idea/technology of making videos 😉, so they could not come up with something relating the same but now that the times have really changed its time we modified the proverb accordingly as "A video is better than a ten thousand words". The point am trying to drive or suggest here is, a tutorial video could make things better for a new citizen who just steps into the e-world rather than a thousands of lines of text/messages/chat.

Youtube tutorial video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_piOGOXWOkg
Do not worry, it is in English 😛

The above is is a tutorial video that I have made for erepublik. I have given the link to IRC and eIndian forums in the video description. Note that this is more of a mic testing 123 video and I am quite aware that the video is a bit longer than what anyone would have expected. Not the best of the ones available out there either but with your help and valuable suggestions, I intend to come up with better and shorter guides in the future. Constructive criticism is always more than welcome. So, please provide me some of your valuable feedback as of what else needs to be or need not be covered or the duration of the video or anything in general. In the comments below, please post links of other tutorial videos that you might have come across, so we can dissect them and better ours.

Thank you very much for reading or should I say watching! 😃
