What the hell is this? well, it's the "hello world" program in brainfuck! Did I say "brainfuck?" yes, that's exactly what I said! but what on earth is that? oh well, it's a programming language! Tired of good old programming languages whose goal it is to make your life easier? Feel like stretching the 'ol grey matter a bit? Then this is the thing for you! Created by Urban Mueller, Brainfuck is an eight instruction Turing-complete programming language. This means that it can be shown to be equivalent to a Turing machineand therefore capable of performing any computation. oh, that's just to sound a little techie! ;) All it means is that you can write any program in bra...

Linux is not for everyone

Just thought of bringing down my posts in different other blogs to this one place. This one was published in the college magazine "SRIJNA" last year. LINUX IS NOT FOR EVERYONE ! I'm not a technical writer. I'm not someone who's only used the most well known Operating Systems. And most importantly, I'm not someone who is going to try and convince you that you need to switch to Linux if you're currently using Windows. Let me go one step further... I'm going to tell you why Linux is NOT for you. I love Linux. I use it on my laptop, it powers my MOTO ROCKR E6, the new SONY BRAVIA HDTV has it, and heck, I even run Linux on my D-Link LAN card, which hooks my network shebang together. But, Linux isn't for everyone. Seriously. Here are my top five reasons why you shouldn't move to Linux . . .

It's your life, afterall

Have you ever noticed, that in life, there are two kinds of people? There are people who realize that their lives are in their own two hands. People who make it happen, people who grab life by the balls, and actually get what they want. People who do not make excuses. People who receive an idea, and  run with it and make it happen. If they 'fail' they realize failure doesn't exist. There is only feedback, which is why I put the word 'failure' in quotes. They take the feedback, and continuously make adjustments, till they reach their goals. They are the ones you see living in excellent houses, going on the nice vacations, and making things happen. You meet them, and immediately you feel their strong confident aura, they shake your hand firmly. These people are in the top 10% of the population, what is known as 'the talented tenth'. I refer to this class of people as 'Lions'. They take control of their own destiny, and never start the day in neutral,...

The world does not owe you anything

I read a post on  http://www.plime.com/  sometime during my TE days. I saved the page because it hit me somewhere deep. I, too, was blaming everyone and everything around for everything that was happening. But these profound words made me recover from that state of mind. So this entry is for everyone with that feeling. The world does not owe you anything. Those are words my father told me when I was very young. They were not the words that instantly changed my life or my viewpoint. In fact, I still struggle with their meaning and impact everyday. Everytime something goes wrong in my life, every infraction and injustice I perceive, those words echo, however faintly, behind my indignation, my sense of entitlement. Those are some profound words, if you're human and you want things and those things don't come your way. Those are profound words if you have things and you feel deserving of those things, but you feel guilty for having them. Those are some profound words i...

AIT a.k.a Army institute of Technology

Been quite a while that I wrote anything. But I am glad, that I am back. Now that I am done with my submissions for my third year second semester (and that too right on time. Bang!), and 10 days right before the practicals start banging my head off, I am feeling a certain urge of writing about this place. AIT. Army Institute of Technology, Pune. But how could I end up writing a post on AIT . I should instead be doing something else . Anything …sleeping , rope-skipping, play gilli danda , dancing or doing anything more worthwhile. But NO! My idiotic , uncontrollable , insensible , psychotic and involuntary mind could think of doing nothing else when I was getting the urge to write this senseless post. But as I am a man of my words [huh ? What words ? Half the time I don’t even know what I speak] . MAN AM GOING CRAZY THESE DAYS . I blame this summer heat for turning me crazy with the utter joy of timely submissions, So I am going to write something on AIT. Mighty mighty AIT they s...

Aakriti 2009

AAKRITI 2009! Guys, the academic year 2009 has started and we are to witness AAKRITTI yet again! but what's the big deal about it? we've already seen two of them! yes we've been through the event twice, but this time it's different! This time it's us, this time it is OUR AAKRITTI , this time it is our WAR! Rather more than a year has passed since the last AAKRITTI... what a cataract of disaster had poured upon us then... we saw the dramatic yet heroic rise of the MECHIES, and the almighty ENTC sweeping the event! Meanwhile, we have not only fortified our hearts, but our minds too! We have rearmed and rebuilt our cricket team in a degree which would have been deemed impossible an year back! and presumably, we own the best cross-country team ever! The girls' volley-ball team, the baddy team, table-tennis, squash and basketball teams have all been worked upon! We have some of the best debators, jammers, play-writs, dancers, painters and actors! But why ...

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   ?

Intrepid Conjunctions !

why does the sunshine remind me of you? why do I see you in everything I do? why, in my shadows, do I search you? why do I deny then, it isn't you? why didn't I realize then, how lonely I would be, why didn't I thought of the day, you would grow tired of me? why did I turn at the sound of your voice? why did you took me over, like I had no choice? why did I let you deep in my thoughts never touched? why did I like to have you around so much? why did I melt at the tenderness of your kiss? why did I want it forever like this? why did I put my heart in your palm? why did I answer you in my naive realm? why was your voice the sweetest, the day you said "good bye"? why did you look most beautiful, the day you walked away? why do I still smile, each time you pass me by? why do I laugh out loud, each time I wish to cry? why do I care for you, though you hurt me? why do I turn my heart away, from what's plain reality? why do I try to h...
