Why whizkidraj is the best person in the world.

July 23, 2019 0 Comments
First of all, my real and full name is Rajkumar Akshaybarnath Tiwari.
whizkidraj came into existence as a name we like to give ourselves, or like ourselves being called by.
whizkidraj is not my 2nd, alternate or some favourite personality name. It is a name that I gave myself coz I wanted to, it suits me, and it feels good to keep (decide) your own name.
So I hope there's not much wondering or discussion on that.
But yes, there has to be a lot of wondering and discussion on why I think and call myself as the best person in the world.

To start with the basics, best doesn't mean perfect, or God, or better than everyone.
But it doesn't mean that it doesn't mean anything important then.

The simple fact that makes me the real definition of best is,
I understand that I am not the best.
I know that there will always be someone better than me in some or the other field/ area, 
or life in general.
I know that I do not know many things, which is why I like to regard myself as a Learner.
I can be as foolish, I am bound to make a lot of mistakes,

So you can see what I am doing here i.e talking about the negatives that one can be or is, and knowing about it. 
Knowing that you are imperfect makes you perfect, 
so knowing that you are not the best in itself is the perfect definition and what makes you best, right.

Not even close, my friend. If it only were so easy to explain, y'all would have already explained it like I did in my above 4 lines, and you may have ended it already.

But yes, I am here to explain, so bear with me.
First of all, as they say, "Actions speak louder than words", or "be the change you want to see", or "walk your talk", etc...
I understand all this and I am not here to write good things about myself, which and as you may have noticed, I have only talked as much about the negatives.

So, the best way I can make you understand about me i.e whizkidraj being the best person in the world is by uttering some words such as 
"understanding" everyone and yourself
"realization" about things and people including yourself,
"thinking" about almost ever thing, every thought, second, third and a lot guessing on it, too, and keep pondering on it yet,
not "knowing" but knowing (combination of realization and understanding)
"being" your worst critic,
"always" keeping yourself in other person's shoes. Trying to think, live and breathe as them, before judging them, or even your own self.
"always" "learning", "always" "observing",
"have a good enough (not best) presence of mind to think before speaking"' or "to think before emoting" i.e letting out those dangerous emotions uncontrolled, but in a thoughtful manner.

So I hope now you know that you don't know anything, or you might know it because that's how it feels when we read something nowadays.....it feels like we already know it, don't it? But do we?

You might still doubt this whizkidraj about being the best person in the world.
You don't know me, just as you don't know about God, or a famous personality (personally). 

What you know about me, or God, or a famous person is not their real life experiences, but what you have read about them, or heard about them.

So, and well, whizkidraj is the best person in the world. You can ask God. Oh, wait!

whizkidraj on College and Memories of the same.

June 23, 2019 0 Comments


College days! The days that have passed, but the days that we remember years after. When I was a kid and I was tired of being a kid, in school, the dreams about passing out my school days, and getting into college always gave me hope.
This hope was not only related to starting something new, but it was a hope disguised as all my desires to fulfill and live.

College is obviously a place for us grown kids or kids wanting to grow. But it is, and can also be a place for adults and professionals who want to contribute to the overall growth of the kids, and learn to be the same, at the same time.

Coming to my college days, once upon a time I went to college and what I am about to share is not a story that has an ending, but an experience that did end, or a friendship that did end, or a happy part of my life that did end, but yes, I am here, and so are those memories.

Before I talk about my first day of college, because that's how everyone likes to start or initiate their college days conversations, I would start it by talking a day before the start of my college. Actually 2 days before the start of my college life. It was July 25, 2009. And it was my birthday, so now you see why I went 2 days back and before.
To be honest, I don't remember much about the birthday and how my day went, but I do remember me remembering about the college start date. Keeping it in mind and thinking about the first day of college. Making a list of things and desires, and not thinking about anything else in the world.

So when the morning of July 27, 2009 dawned, I got hit by something. It was my morning 6 AM alarm. I knew at that moment instantly, that this tune i.e the alarm will haunt my mornings for the coming 3 years at least now.
Cut to me sitting in the classroom and waiting for a hot female teacher to come. And yes, it was a female teacher, but maybe just like the weather at that time...not really hot.
But I kept hope for the 2nd lecture, and the 3rd lecture and through the whole day. What happened? Nothing related to the teacher to share, but I did talk to a lot of people in my class, and I found a friend.
The next day itself, she changed her course from IT and joined the Computer Engineering class (as I was told).
I thought to do the same, but hey, did she think about me or our one day friendship (Too emo me).
That was just the start of the many setbacks that I had and felt in college.
Let's focus on my biggest setback. It was when I left my home for 2 days because I hadn't only failed in my exams and as many as 14 subjects, but also because I failed and betrayed the trust of my family members.
I was very good in studies, a topper in school, but in my college days, I started to focus more on becoming good at gaming. And I did become a skilled, hell of a gamer, but studies and playing games are like two different sides of a coin, or 2 political parties that will forever see the other as bad.

I won some local gaming competitions and I wanted to become a professional gamer. I started practicing a lot too much, in which I forgot to balance out the study part. I failed (in my 2nd year diploma), I lied (to my family members),
I failed again (in my 2nd year diploma), I lied again. But I kept practicing and preparing for a national gaming event.

That national gaming event happened only twice a year, and I thought that if I could win this, maybe I can redeem myself and for all the failures, and maybe all would be forgiven or at least understood.
The national gaming event "WCG" which was to happen in my State and City, got transferred to another State. And after all these failures (in studies) and lying (to my family), I couldn't just lie again and travel to a different state.
So I gave up and on August 5th, 2012, I left my home. I didn't eat anything for 2 days, I slept on stations, and I tried to end my life.
That's it. That's all I wanna share for now.
You may think or term those memories as "regret", but the 2 days that I left home and was all on my own, those 2 days gave me a 2nd new life. A life that I am still living now from all those experiences lived.
And I have always believed that regret is a waste of experience, which is why I don't regret and I don't waste myself for anything now.
To end this, all I wanna say is, "Anything that ends is life. So well, College was a life. A life that I lived, and a life that ended in itself.
But here we are, and if not us, the memories shall forever remain!

Internet Download Manager (IDM) Review by whizkidraj.

         Internet Download Manager Homepage:- https://www.internetdownloadmanager.com/


Overview:-
Everything on the internet or in the virtual world is some form of data. Data that can be created, data that can be uploaded, data that can be seen or listened to in the form of music and videos. But we internet users are mostly concerned with our needs to download all of them data.
While it is easy to upload a data anywhere on the internet by signing up an account or storing it on cloud, downloading all of them data can be a hassle.

Not all sites allow you to download an mp3 or a streaming video. And even when you manage to start the download, you just find it difficult to keep the download speed up even after having a good internet connection.

Now, in a world where you are judged by your skills and your internet connection is judged by how fast the download speed is, we get tired sitting around, wondering what's wrong with our internet connection or the website.

This is where IDM comes into picture.

Today, high-speed Internet connections are ubiquitous, but it does not mean that from time to time we do not need help with downloading files from the network.

Every modern web browser nowadays comes with download capabilities, and while they do get the job done for us users, they tend to usually fail when it comes to other capabilities such as download management and advanced features.


Download and Installation


The above video demonstrates (and covers) the download and installation part of Internet Download Manager, which is simple and straightforward.

Once the installation of IDM is done, we just have to start the web browser and the real journey begins.



To start using IDM in a web browser, here we see how IDM integrates it's add-on in web browsers such as Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.

  • After starting Mozilla Firefox, IDM asks to install the IDM integration Add-on. We click on Allow this installation check box and click on Continue.


  • After that, we just have to click on Restart Firefox to restart the web browser and start using IDM.


  • In Google Chrome web browser, when we launch it after installing IDM, the IDM Integration Module asks to add the IDM extension (i.e add-on). We just have to click on Add extension.


  • After we click on Add extension, IDM integration module gets added to the Chrome web browser (as seen in the screenshot), and now we can start using IDM in Chrome browser, too.




Now that the IDM add-on is integrated in our web browser and ready to use, let's see some simple demos on how to download a video, audio, or any file on the internet using IDM.



  • Simple as it can get, just play the video on YouTube (Or Dailymotion, Vimeo, Facebook, etc.) and

    i.e a Download with IDM panel would appear on top of the video. Just click on that to start downloading the video you love.



  • Now as you see in the 2nd screenshot (above), sometimes the video extension available to download is shown as .MKV and though it is of better and more optimized quality, we all like our favourite video format i.e .mp4 extension.
    So what I do is I just replace i.e edit .MKV to .mp4 and then download the video, and it works as shown in the screenshot below. So yep, no reason to complain whatsoever.




  • Now, just like we go to video-sharing sites like YouTube for watching and as we saw above, downloading the videos we love. So, in the same manner, to listen to an audio, we, or at least I visit bandcamp.com. So let's see a demo on how to download an audio using Internet Download Manager.


  • First and as always the most simple step, play any audio on any website in your web browser.


  • Search for song Select album / song Play song


  • A Download Audio panel would appear i.e



  • Click on that panel to start downloading the audio





Direct click and download with IDM Right-click and download with IDM Download from IDM Interface




  • As clean as the interface looks, and now that we know the basics about using IDM after having used it in a web browser. Let's have a look at the features available in the main program window and how we can use these features to manage our downloads more efficiently than ever.




Download Categories Download Information


  • Okay, let's call the LHS section as the Downloads Category Section and the RHS section as the Downloads Information Section.
    • The LHS section i.e the Downloads Category Section is just like an Index to a book.

    • All the data we download using IDM is always organized and kept according to their type and format i.e


.rar and .zip like files are stored in Compressed folder usually located in "C:\Users\%username%\Downloads\Compressed"
Videos of extensions .mp4, .mkv, .flv, .webm etc.. are stored in Video folder usually located in "C:\Users\%username%\Downloads\Video"
And so on......
For downloaded Audios--->


For downloaded Softwares--->



About the RHS i.e Downloads Information Section:-
  • The RHS section above is what we call as the Downloads Information Section. And as the names suggests, it's just like a written log and entry of the downloads we perform and it is arranged by mentioning the Download's File Name, Size, Status, Time Left, etc.. The Q column represents if the download is in queue to completion or already completed.



IDM Main Toolbar
  • Add URL to start download


  • Resume a download



  • Stop a download


  • Stop all downloads


  • Delete a download


  • Delete all Completed downloads









  • Internet Download Manager Configuration: General

Here is the list of browsers, that we want to use IDM in. We can add any browser to use IDM in it or remove the browser to not let IDM control any downloads.
Everything is under our control.


Then below it are 3 other options to tweak IDM according to our needs and if we want more out of IDM, we can click on these 3 options and explore them.


  • Internet Download Manager Configuration: File types

Here is the list of file extension that we want IDM to associate with (in web browsers) and download automatically. IDM enables itself to download the file types of these extensions.
We can add more file extension to enable and associate IDM with and automatically download the file types according to our needs.


This contains the list of sites that we don't want IDM to be enabled on and automatically download the file types as mentioned above.



How IDM works?
  • IDM is designed in such a way that new injections can be added directly from the interface, but more accustomed to simply allow it to intercept web links.

    Meaning:This means that every time you will click with the mouse on a file of a certain type (which can be determined by changing the settings), Internet Download Manager will load itself rather than to allow to do an online browser. Everything is fully automated: no switching from one application to another, "copy and paste", absolutely no fuss.


Before we go to the conclusion part, here's a video for the regular IDM users who might always face this small problem. I show you how it can be fixed within and with the help of IDM itself.
(Be sure to select 720p quality)




Conclusion!

What can I say.. IDM is all you need to manage your downloads and to do just every job related to downloads.
The pros and cons are for you to decide.

With this, I end my review.
