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?

When we say that god understands everyone; then why do we need superstitious ways to explain our feelings to him.

Don't worry when you cant do anything others can. Give life a chance. You will surely be King once in life. Wait for correct time to come.
