Replacing the broken door

Why all doors close sometimes?
In life, Often you are caught unawares. While walking on the straight road with nothing in sight, you suddenly blink your eyes and are amazed to see that you are standing in a hall which contains all locked doors. The inner state is as if a bus driver has abruptly applied jerky brakes. That bus driver who drives all our buses sitting up there knows when to apply these brakes and when to speed it up. But we are generally not used to this mixture in feelings and turnaround of events. Why then did he make us soooo wanting to adapt stability when the life that he gave us was supposed to change at every interval? Readers today are smart. Had it been the 19th or the 20th century, I'd simply have answered it by quoting that:
"Folks, life is supposed to change because god wants us to learn from our mistakes at every point and at every turn!" But I know todays whatsapp generation can easily ignore it considering it as nonsense thanks to millions of life concerning motivational junk roaming freely from one phone to another. So my abilities are in doubt, & I've got to increase my philosophical standards to move this already rocking generation of readers.
          I'll start with an example. Lets go back to the days when we were not walking on this road alone. Someone was holding our hand. Actually only one cute little finger of our hand. They used to take huge strides and we just had to run to keep up. They used to be so much busy with their everyday life what with handling work and home and kids and yet, whenever we wanted anything, doesn't matter if we said it to them or not, it became their top priority just as if we were above all their bosses whose work they skipped to take  us to a movie.
          Time went on...  ...as it does! We grew, and so did the level of maturity our brain can handle. They became more protective towards you in the matter of how much you should get to know not to addle your still irresponsible self into a bad human being. "बेटा! अगर कोई तुमको बोले ना कि ये चीज़ try कर यार, बिलकुल मना कर देना ओके?! छोट्टे बच्चों को बहकाने के लिए करते हैं ओके! किसी से खाने के लिए कुछ नहीं लेना ओके?!" (Son! If ever anyone asks you to try something, just say no, ok?! They do it to mislead small children, ok! Never take anything to eat from anyone, ok?!) You grew up, but they were the same. You started having difference in opinions Because you now had a simple question(you felt) to all the customs they followed.. 'Why?' By customs i don't only mean traditional customs but anything and everything they did. "Why do you not eat before we do?" ,"You just said that. Why do you have to be so repetitive?.. ..I can take full care of myself!" Today when I look back, I find they were right. Now all the (whys) have changed into (Had I s) like "Had I worked hard!" Or "Had I just listened once!" Or "Had I not said that word to him then." Then, our parents were mature and understood the need for us to change. We however were always reluctant to that change since we never got a reason to our "Why?" If you agree with me on this point, you have got the answer to the question already. You only need to replace your parents with god in this situation. Our parents always knew we need to change and how. So they tried different ways, easy or uneasy to bring our eyes face to face to the benefits of that change in our life. So all doors never close. Next time when you feel so, think that you have just been kept away from the usual ways so that you strive to find a better one...

Where is that 'Recycle bin'... ?

Ok. This 1 comes out of a series of situations involving avoiding a lot of things. Human mind is a complex thing. I started discovering this fact when I stepped into the computers line. Its either Yottabytes of Yottabytes (about 1,007,438,183,012,190,978,921 pages of plaintext containing 1,200 characters each) of huge storage capacity or it has a really really advanced Software that manages any amount of varying memory in a most efficient way. Can you imagine that! Because even the largest supercomputer that has been developed gets filled at some point. But this little thing right here can process and store, and retain...  minutest of observations of day-to-day life as well as tough emotional issues and working life data and social life problems and still give all its capacity to the task at hand. I mean, where is all that stuff getting stored! I can still remember the baby basket in which my mom kept my clothes, and I can't figure out how that is even possible. Huh.. !

The question that keeps me

What is required to do a task:
1. Effectively
2. Efficiently
3. Keeping everyone happy

I don't think I know it myself and if we are here to find a straightforward answer to the aforementioned question, we must ask it to ourself rather than to the original asker. In a world that has always contained answers, we have never refrained from quests. However, our nagging doubts have always kept us at bay from the real answer. The askers have died, their generations who kept their questions alive have failed. The answer remains there, just as still, sparkling as ever. What we are here for today is to pause. To pause and think, about these doubts that might perhaps need solving once and for all.
At first, let us ask ourself, what the question or lets say what we are generally asking. A lot of people don't know or feel it that out of a lot of things they are doing most of the time, they are generally asking a deep open question, and live their lives as is. For example, I am usually unable to do day-to-day tasks effectively, let alone the other two which I believe are all in an order. Soon as I fail or just before I am about to fail, deep inside I ask myself "Why always?!." Now "Why always?!" is not a proper question. However its been my belief while living with "Why always?!" for so long, that it falls under the category of Titles and Tags. I mean it is a Tag pasted on a huge bundle of questions. Excuse me for increasing the complication but to me as it has always been, Life is complicated. I know I sound a lot monotonous and saddening, but I believe being realistic is the first step to being positive.
So what is inside the bundle. That would be too much for just a blogpost to digest. But reverting to our main motive, I doubted my skill when I held the badminton racket after a long time recently. But when my brother motivated me, there was a new kind of learning sensation lurking inside me now. I was grasping much better than before when I didn't doubt myself. We care too much about the future to spare time for present.
Spare me for today folks. I promise to come back soon...

Gate#2

Hi all! Back here.
Sometimes the urge is so high that you cant fight it. For what? Well, for pretty much everything that we like, that we love to do and sometimes even vouch for, from anyone. It comes like a shock wave, to do the task that we love to do. And it seems so much intresting later on to feel how the change occoured. How sometime back I was simply waiting in a queue in the bus to get off at my stop.

;) Today while I got off my bus it was blogging in my mind. The epicenter to this blogging urge shock wave was the Gate#2. After my BCA, I recently got my first job to work as a s/w engineer over support projects in large Indian Service based company. Its training time, so its not that hectic deze days. The company's branch in this city has mainly 3 gates. But the company decided to keep one of them for guests alone. So the Gate#2 got the chance to be the one where guests enter the premisis in their expensive cars as perhaps they might have thought that it would be easy for workers coming from both sides to use either gate#1 or gate#3.

Now who'd tell that to the bus driver. The company is set at a beautiful spot down a hill. So as soon as the bus starts downhill and vision to things that were not visible earlier gets clearer, the driver starts feeling the ease in driving with an auto-speeding bus after a minute long struggle to get the fully-loaded auto-geared bus uphill and cool air slapping his face.

And then, he sees My Company's Logo, then gate#1 and reluctantly starts applying the brakes. The bus starts slowing down but understanding his duty, the driver hastily yet carefully slows down the bus and brings it to a halt at gate#2.

The guards standing outside the gate, yawning, playing with their ID cards witness a very morose croud getting out of the bus, yet nobody even looks at them(the guards) as they know they're gonna see haughty hurtful expressions, clearly stating that you better stay away from this gate as its meant for a superior lot than you. So I start my small yet tangled journey to my training classroom, from gate#1, then parking, then upstairs then right, right, left...

The seed of 'The Corrupt'

(NOTE: Kindly read this through. It is not an advertising campaign or a social cause message. However it is an attempt to change(improve) our way of thinking.)

CORRUPT POLITICIANS!

CORRUPT PARTIES!
CORRUPT GOVERNMENTS!
They're all birds of a feather!!
(सब एक ही थाली के चट्टे-बट्टे हैं!!)
"A new wave of development."
"A beacon of happiness."
"The change that will change your life."
"Working for the people"
Naming their parties on different socio-ethnic groups and abusing other groups to ensure max votes to their group.
Trying to convert every single small mistake of the ruling party to a big blunder using high-pitched speeches and pushing the blame on non-ruling parties when in power.
In short, fighting not over a different 'cause' but the same cause twisted to show a convincing difference.
I HATE IT!!!
DON'T YOU?!
But how are so many like-minded Clever game-players flourishing in this field while all like-minded fools like us are stomped, crushed, chewed and swallowed and r left to comment on the dilapidated state of the country.
...
..
.


Because hey, they're just like us aren't they?!
Indeed, they're from among us to say more appropriately
Be it a small doctor, businessman, religious leader, policeman, serviceman, small actor, or even an editor-in-chief of a famous magazine;
we're all corrupt from within!
The Indian common man is corrupt. We spit chewed pan(betel leaves) in public places, drive wrong ways or unnecessarily over-speed, show top level of racism when we keep broken cups for servants-only and ask them to drink while sitting on the floor, being a guy we consider (any) girl as another object to entertain them, we hoard onions, being an accountant we fraudulently keep small sums of money from our employers eye for us, being a doctor we scare our patients with problems that they don't have and make them pay for tests that wont do them any harm but to their bank accounts, deceive those who love us, pave our ways to the top using unfair means.

Whatsay?
Do not agree?
Take a simple test. Next time you are in the vicinity of another, be it someone from your family, a friend, an unknown stranger; just take a note of what your sudden involuntary thoughts are...
"Are they here for a motive?"
you can have some other thoughts.

When you try to change there are people who will pull you down, not because they dont want your good always, but many times because they want your own good and know that if you're an honest citizen, there are many other deceivers who will try to shoot you from their path, or use you. However I believe that to root out corruption from the democracy called India, we need to improve our way of thinking because as they say that children are the future of the country similarly someone from among us is gonna be the next leader and a corrupt group will always deserve a corrupt leader. Don't you think?

PERSONAL OPINION! Why I think Microsoft is going down. OS Wise

Microsoft Windows is a very well known product. Especially here in India. Layman opinion is that if you don't know about Windows, you don't belong to this time. Many of us do not know that Microsoft came out in the market a long time after the Computers came into existence and that 'Computer' does not mean 'Windows' (which is displayed as soon as power switch is turned on...)

How did Windows reach this respect level so far away from where it was originally launched(US, was it?)?!
I must say... even "DO I NEED TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION??!!" seems a bit self imposed answer. Everyone knows why they like Windows. Every Newer version of its product brings out such a pleasure in using with at least something new in each phase as the product unfurls. You cant say that its only the design that got you. Because once you start exploring the product, you just cant stop praising even the way in which company covered in an error with amazing designs, graphics and visuals.

However, what i wanted to tell you was why "I" think Windows is deaccelerating its popularity. I do not mean to comment on why It is losing its performance or sales or power of taking the best decisions or whatever else. It all starts with XP. Earlier products were popular too. With the project 'Interface Manager' Microsoft started writing the story 'Windows' through which it brought out windows 1.0 which was not a complete OS itself but "The shell of Windows 1.0 is a program known as the MS-DOS Executive." as Wiki-Baba says. Win95 was released in 1995 yet its START button and its positioning is so famous that windows had to face many angry reviews after it removed it in windows 8 and so we're back with a new design of Start button but at the same place! YAY!!

Yet XP brought it all up. While talking about Windows' popularity here in India, I might have missed to point out that XP is enjoying most of that popularity. Even though 7 has tried to take many of those PCs over from XP but I know you'll agree with me that the path is Long. As personal computers are spreading to more homes; and Institutes; and companies; and Villages; and wHaTsOeVeRbLiNgBlInGg... Even many new computers are installed with our 13 year old XP. Nyways, Old is Gold! and I am again shifting from the main point of our discussion and don't hit me with that Pillow but heregoes:

Vista was a nice windows! No matter what you say, Vista was supposed to be a BLAST as microsoft people were working to keep their XP(Experience[d]) head held high and hold on the legacy. As you use  Vista you feel you are using Windows 7 but with a different theme because windows 7(even though it was a completely different Operating system) is almost grown up Windows Vista which was groomed somewhat more and taught to respect other applications and hardware and not confuse users with its own problems. So the Change you see in Windows 7 and XP is all thanks to Vista. It was loaded with features. I don't mean to set aside the new features that 7 brought up which had nothing to do with Vista but you know its just RESEARCHINMOTION (so sorry BB)

But Vista only daintied some part of Windows' Image. Everything is changing, and by changing I mean change is accelerating(FAST)!! With competitors increasing and every competitor jumping to fast to grab his market, they are all throwing out new technologies like 30mints Pizza; microsoft's main power is facing an eclipse. I mean the main power of Microsoft as it seems is taking some time and then Coming out with a BANG!! but now the are made to give out in a month what they used to give out in a year. Which is why they are rushing it on with operating systems full of errors to keep themselves in the market. The problem does not end here. If everything is accelerating then, future seems darker for windows if they don't catch up. However you see the point, Other operating systems are fast in throwing out new features. However they are not facing so much challenge. Once microsoft learns to fight its problems better, its gonna catch up. But will it?
