Do you have more than one email account and do you have to daily log in to each one to update your inbox ??? Most of us have more than one email account. Myself has,hmm let me count, i think i have 10 accounts (which i was about to recall, am sure there are lot more). This includes, my personal account, business accounts, secret alias account, spam account (to sign up for various sites which will probably spam your inbox.), accounts used for exclusive services (like adsense), the list goes on… All of these are using various service providers, gmail, yahoo, hotmail, rediffmail, my own site cyriac.me (BTW it uses gmail’s software).

No matter what ever use you have, most of us have more than one email account, and we take pain to log in to each one to check the inbox. What i want to introduce today is an easy way to manage all these accounts.

I know two ways to manage multiple accounts,

1. Gmail
2. Microsoft Outlook

Its a bit hard to setup outlook and gmail is very easy to setup, also there is more functionality for it. The advantage for using gmail is apart from the fact that you receive all mails in one inbox you still can send emails (from gmail) so that the receiving party thinks you send that mail from yahoo or hotmail or any other.

How to do it ?

Phase 1

Setup gmail account so that it can send email on the name of other accounts (act as alias).

Step 1: Choose a gmail account as a primary email account.

If you dont have a gmail account create one, click on Sign Up.

Step 2: Click on Settings (On top-right) > Accounts

Step 3: Add the desired email (any email).

Now you will receive a verification email in that email account.

Step 4: Log into that email account and verify it.

Step 5: Phase 1 for one email account is over. Repeat this from Step 2 for other email accounts.

Phase 2

Change settings in individual accounts so that gmail can receive mails from them. The exact steps for different accounts will be different, it will be difficult to state them all, so i would give a general outline. Incase you have any trouble, please feel free to seek out my help.

Step 1: Log in to email account.

Step 2: Settings > Forwarding Option

Step 3: Set forward all mails to yourgmailaccount@gmail.com

If there is an option to filter out spam, then enable it, or else your primary account will be flooded with spam.

Step 4: Save it and you are done. Repeat these steps for what ever email accounts you wish to add.

Ok its done. Now what ?

After completing these steps you will receive any mail that you get in secondary email accounts in your primary account. The best part is if you want to reply to it, on the secondary account’s name, you can do it as follows.

Log in to your primary gmail account.

Step 1: Click compose

Step 2: Choose alias by clicking on the drop down menu From

Step 3: Compose mail and send it.

See how easy it is to setup. Do it and let me know the results. If you have any troubles, please do ask me, i will be more than happy to help.

Do you know how to make fire from ICE ? Yes you read it right, F.I.R.E. from I.C.E. cool-condensed form of water.

Its a simple question, the answer is also very simple and sounds logic to me. Please dont think too much and make fire by “burning your head” .

Before giving you the answer, let me explain a bit about how i stumbled on this question. I got this question from a movie, “The Edge”, starring Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin. Its a decent film of a billionaire and two other persons who are lost in the woods and trying to make their way back to the shack. In between they have to survive the rough nature and few bear attacks. The way they kill the bear is simply marvelous, i mean they kill a “man-eating” bear with bare hands and primitive weapons made with wood and rock, now thats survival.

Any way, there’s a part where Alec Baldwin is really pissed about loosing a rescue helicopter and then Anthony Hopkins asks this question. There Baldwin has given a beautiful performance by getting more angry on Anthony. Infact we would also feel its a bad time to ask some tricky question, but yet we would like to know the answer. But what they realy show is, as Baldwin is pissed about loosing rescue helicopter, how Anthony Hopkins is keeping cool about that situation. That really adds to his character, he doesnt over react to anything, he likes to face any situation.

So lets get back to the question. “No matter what we do”, you think, “we cant make fire from ice”, right? I mean we cant burn it, its condensed water. We cant hit it with a rock and expect for a spark or rub two ice blocks and expect them to light up. Then what’s the answer ???

Here goes the answer. Anthony says, “You take it in your hands and mould it into a lens and concentrate sunlight with which you can make fire”

After a little research in internet, i found this can be done practically, although not exactly as Hopkins said. Here are some images.

What do you think about this idea ? If you had any other idea while reading then please share it below.

First of all let me tell you one thing; am not a Mammootty fan. But like some of you guys I was a fan of Mohan Lal, but now I do not like him for the type of movie he deliver. I believe this is not just my opinion.

Recently there was an incident which further demolished the image of Mohan Lal. He was doing a stage show in Dubai, in which one of the audience tried to climb to the stage, most probably to dance for the song played, but then the unthinkable happens; Lal pushes him over the stage and down to earth !!!

If some of the hardcore Lal fans have a hard time believing this, then watch this video yourself.

That was just an appetizer, now see the full stuff (Full Video).

As you can see, Lal and Afsal was singing a song from the flick, Halo (no comments on that Lal movie!!!), but I have to admit, the song wasnt that bad. Any way as the song was advancing, one of the fan tried to climb to the stage. After watching the full video it seems pretty clear that “the fan” didnt had any wrong intention, but just to dance to the song; as we say in Malayalam “olam moopikan keriyatha”.

Mohan Lal could have just encouraged him and sing along, which would further entertain the crowd, but instead he pushed him off to “ground”.

Earlier there was an incident Mammootty hit one of the fans. Lal fans took this opportunity to defame Mammootty, but in the end the truth was he was continuously disturbing Mammootty and atlast out of frustration he hit him. But in this case its not just a beating, but Lal pushed a guy off stage to ground.

Mohan Lal is already infamous for appearing in the ad of a liquor company (“Vaikitentha parupadi ?”), and explicitly saying in interviews that he does not have the respect for women as a gentleman should have.

Whats done is done, I never expected such a rude behavior from Lal (note the rage in his attitude when he pushes the fan). Am pretty sure this would seriously affect his prestige and his “remaining” no. of fans.
