Watsapp and other apps on Ironport

Well Ironport has always been a pain in our daily life at IIIT Allahabad and especially more to the ones that have been using Watsapp and other such things for a long time.
It was only this winter that I really started feeling the need for it in my day to day life. After cracking it after an hour of mental duress, I came to know that some of my friends have already done the same a long time ago. However, here goes to the ones still searching.
There are two simple steps:
1) Root your phone.
    Now many might object to this, as rooting is considered quite wrong and dangerous by many. Though          worry not, if you do install apps from legal sources, there won't be many chances of root access by others.    Also, if it was meant to happen it will happen whether you root it or not.
        For my fellow xolo q800 owners out there, the simplest process is as outlined,

2) Install Autoproxy Lite or ProxyDroid
   The first was the way I went , so here's the link, its pretty easy to set up.

Side Note: My friend Sameer commented that Droid VPN can be used without rooting the phone. I haven't tried it out. If someone does, please tell me the results.

Reminiscing part-1

Wonders never tend to cease and this December, I was introduced to one such man made wonderment.

Lo and behold it was time to visit Bokaro Steel City. There was no plan for visiting the industry, however connections do matter and we were able to get tickets for the consecutive day. Sadly there still remains the prevalent views about women in the mechanical industry and so my mother wasn't allowed to go in. Anyways let's leave that discussion for a later time and continue on.
The journey started on bikes and well it was motocross reincarnate. The roads were truly carved out of sand as in the vegetation was effaced from the trail and that's it. Well to say it was a wonder ride would be to say nothing about it. I was truly excited after that.

Well the first stop was the office and well that was a good one. However I wouldn't bore you all with all that financial stuff.

Next we went up to the iron smelting mill and it was pretty cool unlike people will believe. However, it was actually the mill was off for that time. When it turned on, it seemed like heat from hell itself. We had to move to the control room the heat was so great. An estimate of 2000°C was given to us by those who worked there. 

The beauty of the sparks though were truly something straight out of the best movie scenes about diwali.

Seeing the hot melt it is not possible to guess that it is what holds our houses together and far less conceive the same about burj khalifa. Then the melt was dropped into a kiln hoisted on a train. After it was full the train headed off.

Well so do we with the train. Hang on, there's much more to this than what I have said. Look for it on the next update.
