Life of a developer

well did i write Life?? oops sorry.. A developer has no life of its own..still i used the word.. all apologies...
So this so called"life" has many unexplored aspects which i would like to unveil.
firstly the evolution of a student into a developer has many steps... The pupa called as the student life is the well protected,"king size" life which seems, to every "to-be" developer a hell (the Engineering college). Again a misnomer? Is it? The uncanny event of developing himself into a developer seems to be a fantasy to every Engineering student. The chimera of being a developer looms large into the heads of each species,Only to realize one day that it was only a mirage in the desert.
And one day he comes to the office,to make his dreams come true,to find the goal of his life,to choose the path which the Universe has laid for him... Hold on!! Excuse me? what did I write... Oh... But its true very true...we all land here in this disposition.
So,Is it really the path which Universe has laid for you? Is this what you are born for? Let me put this in a wider perspective, are you really doing something for your own? No ways.. you are just an entity in the wide ocean of software industry trying to swim your way to survival,and in that process your CEO is making fortunes.Well thats true.... Your dreams are actually converted into sleepless nights in the office trying to complete the deadlines and what happended to the Universe and its path...You'll say .."I dont have time for all this now,I'm a developer!" .
Yes,finally you have also become another brick in the wall,Congratulations! Welcome aboard,
The journey from here on becomes the dark side of the moon,the new unexplored era starts and you are no longer an individual,you are here for a purpose,Well not the same "purpose" you thought of.The meaning of each word changes from here drastically,the time goes on and on,waiting for the weekends to fetch few glimses of the outside world,and the life goes on and on,But here is the twist in the tale,for some it doesn't really matter what you are doing why you are doing,or in other words they dont have time.
But some do after a point of time realize what is going in their life,What is their Goal in life and start in that direction...
But some,most of them,keep thinking about it,keep waiting for the right time,keep waiting for a puch,for something to happen,but that thing never comes and one day they realize the "life" which he thought was his,has slipped out of his hands,and its all gone,wasted... Can the word wasted fit here?Well it might,if you had nothing else in your mind,But if there was nothing in your mind you would have never thought that way...Sounds too complicated?To me too :)
But there is one more kind,who think,who want to change,and what do they do.....
they end up writing a blog like this :P.....
Well,What all matters is your indivuality and your happiness.....Try to preserve it,thats what most we can do.
Hope you liked my thought.

Center of the universe Theory

Center of the Universe theory
-by Anirudh Bhatnagar

Here, I wish to propose a theory which will require some serious and open minded thinking to accept or digest.

So, let me start with a question, how do you know about the things/history which had happened before you were born? Media? books? Internet? Parents? Teachers?
Let’s say it is all a great conspiracy. Let’s say it is all framed. All the data, all proofs everything… How can you prove against it? Did world wars every take place? Did john F Kennedy ever existed? Did man actually land on moon? Were your grandfather ever born? And millions of other Questions… Have you seen it? Can you prove it?
It is all been told to you...Somehow by some source…

You might be thinking I’m talking insane here… But give it a thought if all this was framed… If nothing ever existed before you were born, Lets say ... “You are the center of the Universe” ,and everything just got created as you came into existence, your friends, your parents every single soul, the even history etc…
Let’s say it was designed for you in such a way that it look real to you, you can’t deny this possibility. Can you?
So this is the whole idea behind my “Center of the Universe theory”
Now let me cross question myself and try proving the theory wrong…
Let’s say... I know I was born and you know you were born… So it might sound like we have two centers… No, you are wrong... the theory is relative... It’s with respect to you when you are thinking,
It with respect to me for me… Let me say... I am the center of the universe and you were created in that Universe, which was created for me, because here I have to think in my respect, I have to think putting me as center and it’s basically relative to me…
And same applies to you as well… think this is your Universe and all this is happening for you to believe that everything was already there... just think in your respect.

Well, it might not be true... but no one can deny it as well…
Think about it…

Was British Rule good for India?

Well, It seems, again we are forgetting the basics of a thing called as “SELF-ESTEEM”……………………
Let me put some highlights of our glorious past……. And I am NOT USING ANY internet links or web references because the information on net is not relevant, so lets cut out the net references away… I am writing what is well known to all...

1. Well, Indus Valley civilization is one of the finest civilizations ever.
2. The ancient Vedic system was a very scientifically developed system, with a very scientific approach towards different aspects of life (Some examples are Yoga, Ayurveda, and lots more… find on the internet how the west is following this for a better life style and high quality life)
3. Well so many great monuments. like Taj mahal, Kutub minar, hundreds of forts and other beautifully architected structures were made before the British came to India.
4. May it be any field viz. art, literature, philosophy, mathematics we always had geniuses, there is not just one CV Raman (There are at least a dozen of Indian scientists who despite in a place where there was no exposure ,had made their names in History (Aryabhatta, Ramanujan, Kalidas, Ravindranath Tagore and many more).
Before saying anything... Always remember... Press was controlled by West and History is always written by winners… So we can’t judge upon history which is been manipulated by butchers or so called winners.

5. I can keep on writing ….. But what’s the point …. Because Past is GONE and what lies ahead is future and our Present is very Bad, say real bad as compared to west... and I am NOT at all blaming British Rule or any west country for our condition today…..

It is up to us on how we treat ourselves and make our future... But one thing is for sure.. If we keep on feeling that we are “children of a lesser God”... we might not ever be able to come up...
And also if we keep on cribbing about our glorious past and saying some foreigners did something to us…. We will remain at the same place where we are today….

The important thing is: “Let go of the past and make a better today for a beautiful future”

And never say what the British did, was good to us…

They might have made Railways, but only to put as in chains properly, they gave us Democracy, Yes and taught us how to rule... is this not what all our political leaders doing today? Dividing the country on the basis of cast, religion and region for Votes….Congratulations Once again Thanks to the British ”divide and rule policy“.

They might have given us beaurocracy, but mind you corruption is a free gift which we got with it (Yes one of our biggest problems today is British culture inherited)


So who ever says British was good is just following the same old inferior feeling cultivated in us for hundreds of years just to Rule us… If we don’t rinse this out of us today, we will continue to be ruled, yesterday by the British today and today by some other... THE FAULT LIES in us, not in any foreign rulers… Because we had let them rule upon us and again letting them rule.

Don’t forget the pain and suffering of 200 years, the farmers forced to grow opium, the people treated as dogs, all the money going to the Queen,( A common sense question: why should a foreigner will come to thousands of miles to do social service. If there was no money and the condition was that bad, why will Queen would spend her so much time and Armies and everything...)
Don’t put a shame on all the sacrifices made by millions... Don’t ever forget Jaliyawala baag’s thousands of victims...
Don’t ever make our future generation feel that millions died just in Vain!!!!!!

So lets wake up and not be ruled by any one and give our future generations a chance to say, “the Economic slavery for India in post Independent era was good for us”..

Yu to raha hai sadiyoon so dushman sara jaha hamara,
par baat kuch hai ki mitta nahi fir bhi namoo nishaan hamara.

Jai Hind
Anirudh
