Working on a Saturday
I realized how refreshing it can be coming to the office on a Saturday!! I had to come to work to cover if something were to go wrong. And good Lord!! Nothing yet. And that is the precise reason why I am blogging!! I got so many thing done! Bills. Bank accounts. Emails to friends. Blogs. Notes to myself. And if I were at home, I would still be in my bed! Later in the day I would have gone to the gym, watched a few movies and met friends and felt bored at how I passed my weekend in the same old way! But this is good. The day begun early and I am chilling!! Listening to music. Simple pure relaxation!

Simplicity - An inspiration from Prof. John Solworth's classes

SIMPLICITY

The obvious is that which is never seen until someone expresses it simply. -Khalil Gibran. Simplicity is a very important virtue all programmers should possess. Arriving at a solution that is simple is a non trivial task. The simplest solutions are the most elegant. Simplicity requires breaking up each difficulty into as many parts as feasible and necessary to resolve it. The solutions to the most difficult of the problems lie in simplicity. Never should one be afraid to roll back to a simpler solution if and when one becomes available.

Confusion - An inspiration from Prof. John Solworth's classes

CONFUSION

Confusion is a very good thing. People think, confusion is bad. That complexity is bad. But being in a state of confusion or dealing with complexity, means, you are trying out something new, something different and something which you do not know whether will be a success or just a learning experience. How can assimilating something new, exploring something new, be a bad thing. No matter what the outcome, the end of confusion is always clarity. And clarity of mind is a great feeling to have. It is like having hot cup of tea on a hot summer day. When tea gets over, you feel good!!

Comparing humans/life to a log floating in the river is not a good analogy. Because log itself does not know that it is in a river and that it is flowing. But we do. we also know that there is land around. And at times we swim out of river ,call it time out, and sit on the land and see the river flow. Try to understand where the river is flowing why the river is flowing. Aftersometime you dive back and at times try to swim against the flow. At times with the flow. But the important thing to realize is that the log can float. WE have to swim.

There are not rules in life. As bhai says we have been tagged all our life. Our happiness is tagged with the fulfilment of desires. I think it takes almost a life time to realize that happiness and desires are not connected and at times even more.
