Time moves on & waits for noone.

Friends, Romans, Countrymen and Techies,

I'm feeling a little philosophical today and might ramble on about nothing in general. Forewarned is Forearmed they usually say, so i've done my bit with the warning..


In the larger scheme of everyday life, we are but just a small cog in the wheel. As you grow older (i recently did, thank u), you come to realize that life goes on, people move on, times changes, people change, friends come/friends go and you have to carry on with your life no matter what happens.
Time is a constant (const time=00:00:000;) and you are just following the vicous circle of time. Einstein was right, time is the 4th dimension and unbeknown to us we are just following the laws of physics in rotating it.

As you move forward, you go through phases of life as it passes you by. You become a variabe in the larger program called life.exe. Just pray that you were a bigInt and not a lowly Boolean :). Phases such as college, finding work are some things you will always cherish n remember throughout your life (atleast I did).
The early days of your job, the new feeling of earning Gandhi notes, the entire corporate culture etc are some of the new things that you get to experience.

The key is hidden right there ! If you missed it, its a big mistake - not unrecoverable but a mistake nonetheless. Right there is where you decided what you wanted to do with your life. If you still don't know what i'm talking about, more intropection is the order of your day. A lot of people go through these phases without thinking and content being a part of the larger "mass". I am not one of them. A pure non-conformist is what I am. That is my advice for people out there - Do what is right and do what you always wanted to do - follow your mind & to an extent your heart.

Read again & i said follow your mind & heart, not just your heart. Your heart & mind have to be at a common place. Wanting to do something or be something is nice to hear, but how to get there is all your mind. All of us want to do something, but how many of us are ready to take the less trodden path is the question.

There will be challenges, there will be times when you're thinking "what the fuck am i doing here, this is not what i wanted to do". Ride those rough times, stick with your strengths and eventually the light of the day will come and the darkness will pass by. Kinda like the way Gondor & Rohan escape from the evil Sauron (All the tooks hail LOTR!).

Enough of my ramblings for now i guess. TTFN bloggers ..

A Maths Poem

Sin(x) + Cos(x) = TanTex

Sinθ + Cosθ = BournVita

I'm sure that I will always be

A lonely number like root three .

The three is all that's good and right,

Why must my three keep out of sight

Beneath the vicious square root sign,

I wish instead I were a nine

For nine could thwart this evil trick,

with just some quick arithmetic

I know I'll never see the sun, as 1.7321

Such is my reality, a sad irrationality

When hark! What is this I see,

Another square root of a three

As quietly co-waltzing by,

Together now we multiply

To form a number we prefer,

Rejoicing as an integer

We break free from our mortal bonds

With the wave of magic wands

Our square root signs become unglued

Your love for me has been renewed !

Musings on the current state of affairs...

There comes a time in everyone's life, when you just want to break free and get away.
Usually this time in a man's life comes @ 30-40.
But for me and many youngsters like me, it has arrived sooner than expected.
After a year @ the job, the constant monotonous routine of everyday life becomes boring. Sometimes you just want to let go and fly away from this hectic life..

Most people percieve the Software industry to be a place to make quick bucks and get rich soon. Let me tell you from my personal opinion that it is not a realistic picture of things. Yes, there is money. But also it comes attached with a lot of sacrifies. Both personal and professional.

For the young kids out of college, they are lured by the grand picture and big pay cheques. But never once do they stop and think, IS this what they really want to do with their lives ?? Is this what they want to be ??

Many people i know after a year in the industry are already thinking and planning for a different career role. Many prefer a management role these days. But my take on this is , how can things be different there ? Management today looks & feels like the IT of yesterday. It will be the same people running the show there as well.

SO you gotta ask yourself, what is it that you want to really be in your life. what is it that you want to do and become ? Most people will not be aware of what they want to be right out of college. That is why you have to learn and become aware in your job as to your next plans. i.e. Also the same reason that most people quit their 1st job after 1-2 years. That is because they have decided on their plans.

I dont want to preach and sound moronic, but "the grass i always greener on the other side". So you must make your own choices, take & stand by your decisions . You must not let others influence your decisions, but can always take them into consideration.

Our state of affairs have become a 12-hour work life , 2 hour travelling , 6 hour sleep and remaining to attend to your daily routines. No time for personalizing at all. Where do you find time to pursue your ambitions, learning new things, innovate etc..

For people like me, i would pay anything to spend another year in college with the Entire Gang, doing nothing, sleeping in class and just vetti talking. Sounds like fun all over again..
