Disturbed Ramblings

When did we grow up? 

Suddenly, my friend decides to drop a bomb on me. He says he is getting hitched. I was like. What!! We were taking an Ola to airport and I’m a flying virgin. And he decides marriage. How do we make such decisions? We are just 27 years young. And !! what do I say.

     Now that I’ve lived 27 years on this planet, does that qualify me as an adult is it. Isn’t there supposed to be an exam wherein we must secure a distinction to graduate as a responsible adult. I mean, that’s how we have grown up, right!! When did this change?  Who changed the rules? Ah, never mind, guess we are adults now. We have adult things to do. Like getting married. Paying bills, lookout for a residential home, buy diapers, manage finances, open RD/FD. This list is never exhausting.

    So, when did this transformation happen? When did I grow up? Have I? What kind of changes are those? Does a senior/lead in your job title make you feel grown up and responsible? No Right? Is it the 6-figure salary? No!!

Too many self-introspecting questions. Fact is we have grown up. When we were kids, the word future to us meant only Doctor, Engineer, Pilot etc. and many of us did achieve that. So, the future we saw as kids has indeed become a reality. So now what? Maya Angelou rightly said, “Most people don’t grow up. Most people age. They find parking spaces, honor their credit cards, get married, have children and call that maturity. What that is, is aging?”.


     I don’t think I’ve grown up, have I just aged. Aged wine tastes good, but how come an aged life doesn’t feel so.

RIP Dennis Ritchie:

GOD seems to have lost it. Completely. 2011 has seen a so many talented/gifted people die. And in the past week it’s been on a high. Today morning unusually twitter was abuzz with the unconfirmed news of Dennis Ritchie s demise a week ago. I was shocked to read that. Later I found that it was confirmed. He was 70. For all who don’t know who Dennis MacAlistair Ritchie is, you might want to wiki his name and read about his achievements. He was an American computer scientist notable for developing C and for having influence on other programming languages, as well as operating systems such as Multics and UNIX.  Dennis Ritchie September 9, 1941 — October 12, 2011              I heard his name for the first time probably 6yrs ago when I first attended my computer science class during my schooling days. And I still remember his name. The reason being because I was told, he is the man responsible for the C programming language a...

Inside Steve Jobs : A Technical Introspect by A Cynic

Image
          As a student of engineering, what is more important for me is the way a system works under the hood and not the outer glitz and glamor. Recently Steve Jobs passed away and the world mourned him. The newspapers read “ An era of technology came to an end on October 5 th when Apple Inc founder (read co-founder) and former CEO passed away “.   Further he is credited for all Apple products post his return to the company. All through if you notice the actual men behind Steve Jobs were never acknowledged. Neither has Steve himself ever said it.           And what I found while reading his wiki page is that he is referred as co-founder, a business magnate and an inventor. The inventor part irked me. Call him an innovator.  No qualms, but an inventor??         Many think that Steve Jobs is the talisman behind the iPod, iPhone, iPad… No isn’t. He wasn’t tec...

The Feeling of Falling In Love:

This blog deals with only my interpretations of falling in love. It happens in every other guy's life I guess. Those days when a group of guys talk about her and all you can do is to imagine. It happened to me also. I had never seen her face to face but had heard enough of her but I was never impressed. So it happened in the internal's time. The time when people are busy studying and I was busy wasting my time. So me and my friends where studying. I dint even know she existed in that very class, no I wasn't busy studying, I was listening to mp3 so I dint concentrate on my surroundings. And all of sudden my friend introduces me to her. WOW I saw her for the first time; I just couldn't take my eyes of her. My heart skipped beats; it was racing around .She mesmerized me. The very moment I saw her I decided I needed her in my life. I was with her for the next 5 minutes. She was jam packed with features, with every feature she blew my mind off. She was very delicate, at t...
