I'm not a star.
There is no halo over my head.
Fate doesn't like the colour of my eyes.
Struggle and strife are old friends of mine.
Who am I ?
I am survival.I am guts.I am pride.
I like odds.
Especially when they're stacked against me.
B'Coz there will come a time when I'll stare them in the eye.
And smile the smile of the one who's pulled it off.
I am the guy who will have deep lines on his face some day.
And it'll make me look good when I laugh.
Because that is the day I will fear no fear.
And taste sweat that is sweet.
And look back for the very first time and say ,
I did it my way.
The long hard way.

The Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winched nor cried aloud
Under the bludgeoning of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the shade
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.
It matters not how straight the gate,
How charged with punishment the scroll,
I am the master of my fate;
I am the captain of my soul.
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winched nor cried aloud
Under the bludgeoning of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the shade
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.
It matters not how straight the gate,
How charged with punishment the scroll,
I am the master of my fate;
I am the captain of my soul.
Out of Radar
Behold on my silver steed,
Breathing fire, on wings of steel
I’ve raced the wind
I’ve ridden the storm
I’ve painted the azure sky
I’ve mocked the snowy peaks so high.
I’ve shattered the morning’s calm
And roared at the break of the dawn.
I’ve played hide n seek with the stars,
I’ve strolled in the playground of the Gods.
I’ve seen the angels in all their glory,
This is my life, it aint no story.
Everyday I walk the tightrope of life
I’m treading a thin sheet of ice
Death don’t frighten me no more
I’ve seen him near, I’ve felt him close.
I’m not afraid to die
I’ve lived my life to the fullest.
I envy no man
Cos I’ve sipped the nectar of the Gods.
The Gods they say , envy me
Cos I see what they get to see.
But yes I’m afraid, after I die
Will I ever get to fly.
Do not take away these wings from me
This is all I ask of thee.
And when I die do not cry for me
No dainty daisies, no wreath of flowers.
Few words on my grave which sum up my life,
A touch of glory and a mouthful of sky.
Breathing fire, on wings of steel
I’ve raced the wind
I’ve ridden the storm
I’ve painted the azure sky
I’ve mocked the snowy peaks so high.
I’ve shattered the morning’s calm
And roared at the break of the dawn.
I’ve played hide n seek with the stars,
I’ve strolled in the playground of the Gods.
I’ve seen the angels in all their glory,
This is my life, it aint no story.
Everyday I walk the tightrope of life
I’m treading a thin sheet of ice
Death don’t frighten me no more

I am not above you,
I am beyond you;
You do not understand me,
and you may well fear me;
But you will call upon me to fight the war you cannot.
I am your worst nightmare
and your best hope;
I am the edge of the Sword
that cuts both ways.
I am the world you cannot attain;
The perpetuation and annihilation of all that you hold dear.
I am the embodiment of all that you admire and despise;
I am honor and tradition,
amoral and profane.
I am the highest rung
on the ladder of your evolution,
and I am the living symbol
of your degeneration.
I am the God of War.
My armor is titanium
and no armor at all;
My voice is the thunder
on the edge of sound;
My movements are swift
and beyond your comprehension.
My touch is cold;
My love destruction.
My life is measured
by a sweep-second hand.
And I do not fear oblivion,
Because Hell, for me,
is what you are walking through
RIGHT NOW.
I am beyond you;

Whatever happened, it happened for good.
Whatever is happening, is happening for good.
Whatever that will happen, it will be for good.
What have you lost for which you cry?
What did you bring with you, which you have lost?
What did you produce, which has been destroyed?
You did not bring anything when you were born.
Whatever you have, you have received from Him.
Whatever you will give, you will give to Him.
You came empty handed and you will go the same way.
Whatever is yours today was somebody else’s yesterday and will be somebody else’s tomorrow.
Change is the law of the universe.
Whatever is happening, is happening for good.
Whatever that will happen, it will be for good.
What have you lost for which you cry?
What did you bring with you, which you have lost?
What did you produce, which has been destroyed?
You did not bring anything when you were born.
Whatever you have, you have received from Him.
Whatever you will give, you will give to Him.
You came empty handed and you will go the same way.
Change is the law of the universe.
Invisible Mouse Pointer in Fedora
At times after installing Fedora on a PC running AMD processor with a motherboard that has onboard NVIDIA graphics the mouse pointer goes invisible when you boot up for the first time and subsequent times.
Yeah its kinda wiered because it was visible all the time when you were installing the OS.
So here's a quickfix to this problem on how to bring your mouse pointer back. You'll have to manage doing all this with the invisible mouse pointer or the keyboard itself
Quickfix:
Follow the first seven steps if you cannnot access My computer on Desktop.
1. Click on "Applications"
2. Go to "System Tools"
3. Click on "Terminal"
4. Type "su -" and hit enter
5. Enter your password
6. Type "nautilus --no-desktop" hit enter
7. Click on "Places"
If My Computer is visible, continue from here..
8. Click on "Computer"
9. Click on "Filesystem"
10. Click on the folder named "etc"
11. Click on the folder named "X11"
12. Click on the file named "xorg.conf"
Scroll down on the page to the posted section:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nv"
EndSection
Under the "Driver" line type exactly the following in bold text:
Option "HWCursor" "off"
Click "Save"
It should look like this now
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nv"
Option "HWCursor" "off"
EndSection
You're done, now restart the machine and the mouse pointer should be visible.
Happy Clicking..
