LOL!!

Is software engineering a meaningful profession?

I met a friend of mine today who has graduated as a doctor.

The Doctor said : I serve the sick, I cure their illness,kill their sufferings. I save lives.

I said : I sit and write sorting programs or write DB queries ??!!

What the hell?? Then,I had lots of questions squirming in my brain.                  Programming,is it a meaningful career to choose,does it mean anything at all,does it serve the poor,the sick,the needy. Why have my friends around me in college chosen software engineering as their career, Is it just they happen to do this because they have got bills to pay, just for those attractive pay cheques offered by multi-national companies. Do they really love what they do?

Moonlight walk

(Special thanks to electricty board for their endemic power cut to provide me such an opportunity)

Peaceful night,moon lit fields,my friend Moni beside me,blissful cool breeze,fresh air from betta cooling the day's heat of the city, I lay down with the joy of not having tests the next day. Jim Morrison and Jimmy Page to entertain us with their maddening words and music,left us stoned . Faint noise of the screeching insects,probably they too were admiring the night. Hallucinations across our eyes when gazing at the clear open sky,feeling like flying high up among the stars above,beside those silver clouds as though swimming our way to the moon .We just held our hands up into the sky embracing mother nature,feeling her warmth. Lights of vehicles very occasionally piercing our eyes,surrendering ourselves to the peace and calmness,we walked on down the road which had a mild glow seemed like a calm river under the moonlight which came filtering through the silent tamarind trees. Shooting star to add to our delight,blazing ball of fire almost hitting the earth before it burnt down with a greenish flame. What more could I wish for except for such graceful moments in life!!

The Square Root of Three

“The Square Root of Three” by David Feinberg

I’m sure that I will always be
A lonely number like root three

The three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine

For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic

I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality

When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three

As quietly co-waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer

We break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wands

Our square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed

Sweet child o' mine

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories 
Where everything 
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky 
Now and then when I see her face 
She takes me away to that special place
And if I'd stare too long 
I'd probably break down and cry 


Sweet child o' mine 
Sweet love of mine 


She's got eyes of the bluest skies 
As if they thought of rain 
I hate to look into those eyes 
And see an ounce of pain 
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place 
Where as a child I'd hide 
And pray for the thunder 
And the rain 
To quietly pass me by

Sweet child o' mine 
Sweet love of mine 

Where do we go 
Where do we go now 
Where do we go 
Sweet child o' mine

Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are. 

Rather be dead than cool. 

The worst crime is faking it. 

I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.

         -Kurt cobain of NIRVANA

Rock around the clock

I've decided to post something on music now on ( mostly rock). I will be writing on songs that you gotta listen to, which are both lyrically and musically brilliant , presenting you interesting facts on the song. I will try and post every weekend about a song , I wanna call this series “Now playing”.

JEREMY

The song for today is “Jeremy” by by the band Pearl Jam."Jeremy" was released as the third single from Pearl Jam's debut album, Ten (1991) in 1992.

Accolades:

The song reached the number five spot on both the Mainstream and Modern Rock Billboard charts.19^th on M TV's "100 Greatest Videos Ever Made".36^th on Rolling Stone "The 100 Top Music Videos". VH1 's "100 Best Songs of the Past 25 Years" and "100 Greatest Songs of the '90s". Kerrang! "100 Greatest Singles of All Time”. In 1993 the video won 4 MTV Video Music Awards, including Video Of The Year.  The album sold over 10 million copies.

Lyrics:

written by frontman Eddie Vedder and music written by bassist Jeff Ament.The song takes its main inspiration from a newspaper article about a 15-year-old boy named Jeremy Wade Delle, born February 10, 1975, from Richardson, Texas who shot himself in front of his English class at Richardson High School on the morning of January 8, 1991 at about 9:45 am. Delle was described by schoolmates as "real quiet" and known for "acting sad." After coming in to class late that morning, Delle was told to get an admittance slip from the school office. He left the classroom, and returned with a .357 Magnum revolver. Delle walked to the front of the classroom, announced "Miss, I got what I really went for", put the barrel of the firearm in his mouth, and pulled the trigger before his teacher or classmates could react. A girl named Lisa Moore knew Jeremy from the in-school suspension program: "He and I would pass notes back and forth and he would talk about life and stuff," she said. "He signed all of his notes, 'Write back.' But on Monday he wrote, 'Later days.' I didn't know what to make of it. But I never thought this would happen."

Video:

The video won four MTV Video Music Awards in 1993, including Best Video of the Year, Best Group Video, Best Metal/Hard Rock Video and Best Direction. The video was into controversy,reason was because of the topic of suicide, and recent school shootings and was also banned for a time Pearl Jam did not release another video for 6 years. They decided that videos detracted from the music, and wanted their fans to come to their shows rather than watch them on TV. They also hated the process of making the videos.

I try not to die while I am still alive!

He'll find the spirit

for eternal life,

He'll drink it to glory,

and never he'll die

From the memory of all

who know and love him.

He fills their cup of joy,

to the brim.

One person here I talk about,

That is my friend,

That is you.

wondering what this is?

Few beautiful words written my moni(Mohan aka 'DUDE') for me (more than what i am ;) actually).

thanks for those immaculate words ...moni
