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.
