The missing link !

–BEWARE : Highly philosophical chaat follows —

images.jpg

You might have seen this image somewhere ! There are many interpretations for this image . Some call its a zen image, some say parashakthi. One interesting observation is that , the white part is the female life form and black , the male counterpart. and there is a proper union only if they co exist and there is a masculinity in every female and a femininity in every male !  Read this abridged excerpt from one of my favourite books by Osho , on meditation,
“… The path for salvation is attained through understanding the actual meaning of one’s life. At the mother’s womb , there comes a stage where the child no more is in nueter gender and chooses either male or female. But after he/she comes out and spends some time in the world he/she realises that lost thing, which is  being searched for now, was not lost outside but inside before it came out ! So there starts the search for the lost male/female counterpart which she/he has lost. At 20 the search is outside ,that is away from you , that is you try to serach the happiness from some one else. At 50 you realise the lost part is within you. Reaching and realising that becomes the path to salvation.But the very fact that the thing you are searching for is inside is only revealed to you once you have finished searching for outside …”
These things have a lot of meaning and every time I think of it , it surprises me. Such wisdom in so few words ! And the book goes on to give more surprising and spiritual aspects. But this post is not about my appreciation of the book for which one blog post is so small to describe.

All I wanted to tell was I am twenty :P and I am normal. But telling just that would mean nothing to anyone :)

Kelunga Kelunga Kettukitte Irunga !

Everything about me # 1

Well , a complete personal post ! In fact a big series of posts ! To start with I am reviewing year 2007 !

2007 was an eventful year !
1. Final Semester for Alagu in college ! We used to spend so much time in sun lab and had lots of lots of fun ! Not to forget the LRSL photo session and the late night talks !
2. At the end of semester we had Algorithms tutorials taught by Prasanna (read Iyer ) and Siddarth(read Dart) which really changed the way I code and think !
3. I GPA eventually scaled down to 7.5 ! (Guess thats where I belong :P )
4. Got a Project under Jayanthi Madam from IIIT Hyderabad ! This gave me a nice experience of how projects could be and how well I can fit into one !
5. I got into Delta core ! Something I was looking forward to and knew some day some how I can get into
6. Then had the most useful time of my college time by conducting MGL ! In fact I never thought one can get so much money by teaching Linux ! (Still have that money and dont have much ideas what to do with that money )
7. Got a new hobby of Topcoding and Spojjing ! Though not fully involved at it yet, that has become a useful/addictive time pass now ! And learnt some python and started to love it :P
8. Had some real real fun at my hostel with my friends and wing mates with the treats at dabba, volley ball and basket ball , occasional night outs for counter strike (hey i do play sometimes :P ), and as usual night outs at sun lab !
9. Went to continue the project at IIIT hyd once again and this time I made some real progress ! Thanks to Hari, Yazhini and Vinod !
10. Not to forget some good time with Manas at hyderabad, especially at Microsoft annual party ! (Pity we both dont/cant drink :P )
11. Other things worth mentioning are “how I met your Mom” series , really funny/enjoyable chats with alagu ,shaggan, getting taggy irritated so easily, hacking spider (read getting caught badly hacking spider) , getting addicted to Calvin & Hobbes and other kutti kutti things :)
12. Last but not least , went to palani and shaved off my hair !

Before 2007 started , I had lots of dreams and resolutions ! Few got realized and the resolutions never came into picture :P .

But there is something strange about 2008 ! I didnt feel so happy or enthusiastic about the new year as would be earlier ! Thats why not even a happy new year post . I had got a new mobile (a VERY cool one for my use :) ) , a new bike , a broad-band connection at home, getting a new laptop soon and lots more ! But then there is something which is missing and all these things seem so pointless ! Some times I just cant stop myself thinking , I am just another rat in the rat race !

to be continued …

What else Does Linux Have other than a cool name ???

“Other than the fact Linux has a cool name, could someone explain why I should use Linux over BSD?”

“No. That’s it. The cool name, that is. We worked very hard on creating a name that would appeal to the majority of people, and it certainly paid off: thousands of people are using linux just to be able to say “OS/2? Hah. I’ve got Linux. What a cool name”. 386BSD made the mistake of putting a lot of numbers and weird abbreviations into the name, and is scaring away a lot of people just because it sounds too technical.”
(Linus Torvalds’ follow-up to a question about Linux)

Miss my home :( :(

Dunno Why !! In this whole three years of college life I miss my home for the first time ! U know i always complain I dont have this or that in my home ! But now all that seems so stupid ! I miss getting scolded(of course , its not serious scolding !! ) by my bro (younger, that one) for my stupidity. I miss doing math lying in my bed which i used to in most of my free time ! I miss the reheated sambhar rice with a tint of ghee and some snack ! I miss watching cartoon network and pogo – Just for gags ! I miss playing tennis ball football with my bro ! I miss a perfect sleep with my mother clutching my hand and patting my head ! I miss my new bike !! I miss my friends who sometimes think I am really crazy and mad !

Shit , why didnt I relish these things before and why do I miss them so much now ???? some one wake me up and tell me I am in a bad dream !!

PS :  Hope everything is okay when i wake up tomorrow !! Hope ……
