It's all boring and frightening!!!!

It's all boring!!!

Well, today I am facing an intimidating truth,which has to be faced by every computer engineer ever born.
The truth is, if you want to survive in the line of computer engg., you have to study for whole of your life unlike chemical or mechanical engineers who mug up all the theories of their subject just to forget them after leaving college.

Well, Darwins theory of Evolution is applicable in all its totality for the engineers of this ever-growing field.

Sitting in the office and exercising your fingers on the keyboard is something I am findig extremely boring,many a times because I am not understanding many new tools(I have never worked with) and sometimes because their is nothing interesting in this field of programming.

Considering the fact that I have to tolerate this ennui for all my life,I should follow the most important principle of Darwin's theory ADAPTIBILITY, or I am definitely not going to survive this dauntingly boring branch.
But adapting to this environment is not something I am going to find that easy, given this silent environment of a computer engg..
The only sound your ears get to hear is this "tap-tap" of keys on keyboard which is certainly not melodious to ears in any respect.
I just hope that I get to work with some friendly people, who have not become zombies under their work-loads and tiring assignments.

I just hope to cultivate an amount of love for my job in due time,enough to keep my enthusiasm up to date so that I can do enough "tap-tap" to feed my stomach!!!.

"Experiments with Truth" - M.K.

I just happened to finish this autobiography and I must say this is one of the best books I have read so far.

The reading was particularly pleasing as I read this book in my national tongue (hindi).I read a book in hindi after a long time.And my hindi vocab has increasesd very much owing to this book

Well, let me discuss a few things abt this book, which I have been reading from long time, in parts.

The book basically describes the journey of mahatma gandhi through different phases of his life.His journey comprises of an eternal search for the ultimate truth and He says that this search can not be complete without wearing the armor of non-violence.Well, this is topic of big discussion and I have no plans to get philosophical.

But I will like everyone to go through this book, if they believe that a successful life consists of some ideals and devotion and ofcourse samaj-seva,sushrusa.
The book contains endless instances of his struggle to abide by the ideals and at the same time strugle for freedom,home rule.Each time he travels in a train(3rd class) and finds the bereaved condition of travellers out of lack of sanitaion and space and then he complains.

In half of the book, he has been telling that if you want to lead a pure life, the diet should be checked and he describes his immovable faith in the natural therapies particularly related to water and soil.

Many a times he has fallen into some DHARMASANKAT or other and each time he has been saved by God.

Well, there are many of his experiences I could relate to and hence the book is altogether more pleasing.
Now, having finished this book I feel that all my plans of life are very incomplete as tll date I have not inserted any time or activity related to my contribution towards upliftment of society and this feeling is becoming an obession with me.
I certainly don't want to live a life of a person who awakes in the morning just to go to office and come back to sleep falling into the dreams of a river of green papers.I will like to contribute alot to society some day but I have no idea right now whatsoever as to how I am going to do this.
I have always believed in work and hence always idealised KARMAYOGIs like Swami Vivekananda.But till date, have near been a part of any public activity

I just hope that, God put some grace on me and give me some way to achieve fulfiment and hence attach some meaning to my monotonous life.

You listening GOD?!!

the boring databases!!!

Well,

My last two projects have been database-oriented projects.

And I don't want any such project two ponder in my career again, very much aware of the fact taht they are the most demanded and in a very extracting projects.

When,I took the first one called "Indian railways database management" I was overjoyed as I knew the significance of this highly appreciated project.

I also admit that this project has been very much instrumental in me getting through many rounds of placement and finally getting my job letter.

But one truth which I want to assert is that constructing databases is the most boring work in the world of programming.It's not that these projects do not prvide any stimulation to your brain but more than that ,they carve out a labor out of you.
Most of the time all you are doing is, making a table, a beautiful GUI and then making a connection between the two.It would not be false to say that more than your database-construction ability it is your GUI moulding capacity that will render you merit and the consequent grades as no teacher peeks into the "behind thing".This is one of the most distressing things when you are working on databases.

In my next databse project,"Youth event management system", which I procured with the greed og getting a certificate from IBM was even more boring giving me a sense of de jure and a feeling of frustration as I could have chosen some brain storming project this semester.Sometimes the servlet won't connect to mysql.When it connects, it finds many data structures uncompatible.And when every thing works fine the requirements of IBM increase astrronomically.

Oh god!

I just hope that people in CMC (where I am going to have my final sem training) do not exert an other database project.
