Busy is BullShit!

In today's world of email, sms and facebook when somebody says they could not keep in contact because they had been busy, I feel like kicking them on their butt and say "Busy is BullShit".

It so happened that yesterday one of my school friends rang me up.

After talking for like half an hour, when I was all exhausted of all the stories that I could possible narrate, I happened to ask, "why did you not keep in contact?"

The answer came as "College had been keeping me busy". Now all I know for a fact is that, we all do what we want to do. We all have time for what we are committed to. Take harish and laxman as an example. They are professional Counter Strike players, so even though they have exams, they do not stop sparing an hour for their regular game. I won't appreciate this habit, but I respect their passion for the game. They take out time for what they want to do. They do not start cribbing on how difficult the subject is, and how much of the  syllabus still remains. A quick game and back. That's all it takes.

And it's not only about keeping in contact or playing a CS game. It's about defining your priorities of life, sticking to them and accepting them as they are, and not making stories to justify yourself when questioned of your motives.
The bottom line is that we all do what we are passionate about, what we care for and what really is important to us. And to write "hiee...howz u?" takes hardly half a minute to compose and send. 
So, if you associate yourself as one of those taking this shit, stop. Stop pretending. Accept it.

    So true, even I hate them (people who say so). After all ur work and ur busy scheduled life, where do u end up, ur friends and family. So, being social i guess is the most important thing. Please don't keep urself so busy that people start taking time in recalling you.
    Friends are forever, so if sum1 treats u his/her friend, one should respect the feelings of the other.

सूनापन

मुद्दत हो गयी उन तन्हायियो को गुजरे , फिर भी इन आँखों में नमी क्यों है  ? तोड़ दिया मोहब्बत पर से यकीन मेरा, फिर भी मेरी दुनिया में तेरी कमी क्यों है ? हसरत है क्यों आज भी तेरी चाहत की मुझे, क्यों याद तेरी जेहेन से मिटती नहीं ? जलजला क्यों उमड़ता है ख्वाबो में मेरे, उस आशिकी की आगज़नी क्यों है  ? सन्नाटो में भी क्यों सुनता हू तुझे मेरी परछाई से क्यों तू जाती नहीं ? इन डबडबाती आँखों को तलाश तेरी, आज भी कहीं क्यों है   ?

How the Python import system works

How the Python import system works From:  https://tenthousandmeters.com/blog/python-behind-the-scenes-11-how-the-python-import-system-works/ If you ask me to name the most misunderstood aspect of Python, I will answer without a second thought: the Python import system. Just remember how many times you used relative imports and got something like  ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package ; or tried to figure out how to structure a project so that all the imports work correctly; or hacked  sys.path  when you couldn't find a better solution. Every Python programmer experienced something like this, and popular StackOverflow questions, such us  Importing files from different folder  (1822 votes),  Relative imports in Python 3  (1064 votes) and  Relative imports for the billionth time  (993 votes), are a good indicator of that. The Python import system doesn't just seem complicated – it is complicated. So even though...

I was fat once! Now I run!

On Aug 12, 2013 I weighed 107 kg, which, for a 5'4'' guy, is 47 kg more than the Indian Army standards. But today, I weigh 82 kg, and I continue to lose a few pounds every week! At one point of time, running 100 metres would make me all tired and sweaty, but today I can easily run 10 km at a stretch! So this guide is for all those couch potatoes who have lost all hopes of getting a good body! I was at that stage myself. I know how it feels like. I know the bullshit that you keep telling yourself as to how you are not all that bad, and how the world should accept you the way you are! Let me tell you this straight! You are NOT special. You are just another lazy bum who wants things to change but does not want to endure any suffering! Or even worse, you are one of those who act on an impulse every few months. You hit the gym for a week and boom!, you lose it all again. The first step is to accept that you have a pathetic body and that this needs to change! Start Sm...
