A FLOWER

2008-11-14T01:59:00.003+05:30

A flower is a God's gift, with blessings,

Shows the colors of life and its meanings,
Everytime, I see a flower, I think
Why to sleep when I want to see it without a blink
Everytime, I see a flower, I guess,
It brings happiness and ease away all my deep distress,
Everytime, I see a flower, I desire,
If I could be like such a colorful flower,
Everytime I see a flower, I ask,
Why to weep, when we know, how to laugh.
--(dedicated to all wonderful and nice people around me including my parents and friends)

The most wonderful programmer I know till now....

2008-06-24T23:27:00.008+05:30

Yes, I am talking about the most intelligent and wonderful programmer in programming History. It is none other but Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux kernal and the first absolutely free and open operating system Linux. He is a person with unparalleled talent and supreme vision, one who can hack anything, one who doesn't need a debugger since his codes are always perfect and one who cannot be defined in this mere blog. To better know about Linus Torvalds visit here.

Linus Torvalds scared away A and B while programming. As a result we are programming in C :)

Free and open source world

2008-05-26T01:17:00.000+05:30

I wonder at those people who ask what is free in this devilish world. Here is the answer- FOSS :)

FOSS stands for Free and open Source Softwares. I came across FOSS community in june 2007 when i first worked on Linux. It was an exhilarating experience. First time I felt that I am working on an operating system which doesn't have a tag of "pirated". Since then I have been a great fan and user of FOSS tools and distributions. If you want to know what you can get from FOSS, then have a look at sourceforge. Some people argue that FOSS tools are inferior to closed and paid softwares, which is rarely true. In most of the cases, you will find FOSS tools to have greater flexibility and customization. After all, the "free and open source" words are enough to defeat any closed and paid softwares. I will continue to be a FOSS user and will promote it always. Thumbs up for FOSS.
Imagine a world where everything becomes free and open source.

Combat between Hard work and Luck

2008-05-26T00:59:00.000+05:30

It has been always a matter of debate that which is greater - hard work or luck. Some people say that "The harder you work, the more luck you have", but i say that "The harder you work, the lesser you need luck". Although I would never deny that luck is the thing which plays an important role in success but then I remember the saying by Louis Pasteur - "Chance favors the prepared mind". The saying is as true as death and I have witnessed it in my life. At last, I will only say that one can achieve high goals through luck but success is tasteless without hard work and struggle.
