latex-beamer + emacs-org-mode

The what? 
"You set the learning curve depending on your needs" -- Bastien Guerry, org-mode maintainer since 2011
     In this post, I am going to describe how to use org-mode in the awesome emacs to write reports/papers and create presentations as swiftly as writing plain text. Naaah, you will be writing plain text only! Rest of the shebang -- generating the tex file, producing the pdf, and even opening it for preview! --  is taken care by a shortcut in Emacs: C-c C-e d. Peace in life. Especially useful when you start writing the report at 2345 and the submission deadline is 2359 :D.
    We will be using the following tools/technologies: Beamer (it's just a Latex class), and Emacs* (org-mode in specific). I have written this post in haste so a few things may have slipped my mind. Put off in comments if you have any problems and/or tips.
