 When was the last time you did something for the first time and continued doing it for a long time daily to see the results? Did you leave it in between because you got bored or it became harder ... or is it your true nature to just start things and never reach to a destination.  I have unfinished books lying around in the house, I have half completed courses lying in by learning basket and unaccepted truths lying in my heart, I have hurt people, I have done irreversible damage to my own soul, which I am ashamed of.  I don't carry a regret or guilt of not having been completed those things, but a sense of comfortable silence that lingers around my heart .. that says its okay to leave things unattended ... that haunts me the most , am I really that detached, even to myself that I see these things as a mere part of life and portray myself as unaffected by this. I had started this blog last week only, finally utilising my purchased domain name, and I was not consistent in t...

  Do you think people living in remote villages in mountains care about how rapidly AI is evolving? I think all they are concerned about is how badly their surroundings are getting exploited, how shorter the winters have become and how common the landslides in monsoons have become.  Don't you think that as the AI is evolving, datacenter space req and global warming will also rise! I am not saying all these because I fear AI, no. In fact , I welcome the non-dystopian AI to show us the right path to achieve world peace and find cure for life taking diseases. The massive impact AI currently has on the IT world is eye opening. And I am sure it will reflect in other industries also in the coming days, but to be able to coexist with AI, an industry will have to realign itself and make place for automation as well as retrain its workforce on the AI tools that belongs to that particular industry. Apart from that, we may have to keep an eye on the dystopian side of the AI, whether or n...

Encumbered forever by desire and ambition There's a hunger still unsatisfied Our weary eyes will stray to the horizon Though down this road we've been hundred times                                                  - Pink Floyd When you walk the long path of chasing a distant dream, you not only face the physical barriers, but the mental walls too. You often end up questioning yourself that the pain, the ordeals are truly worth it, specially when the destination  is not in sight. We all have one thing in common, despite our financial, mental or physical strengths, we all have limited number of hours in a day and we don't want to watch if wash away in chasing something that we are not confident about. We must choose our path very cautiously, as we may end up walking the wrong road for a long time before we realize that we truly are lost and ...

  I have a disease that does not let me handle to much mental stress for a long period of time, it breaks me! And since the world works on the concept of Money, and with time one has to earn more and more of it, I often end up asking myself that will I be able to handle the stress that the next level demands? Or should I watch myself roll into the stigma of not rising up to my potential just because I will break at the top! I had always been afraid of success, not because of the joy it brings and again I won't be able to handle that side of life's coin, because the disease doesn't let me be in joyous state for too long too, but because what if the responsibilities and pressure that success brings with itself will be unbearable to me.   Life is all about ironies , I learnt this the hard way. You get something when you were not even thinking about having it in your life and when your aspire, persevere and work hard towards something so much that it becomes secondary to breath...

  It is not the destination that matters the most, it's the journey that changes us and makes us ready for the destination while we are in the journey.  Unfortunately, there exists no Doraemon's anywhere door in reality. We can't reach the dreamt of destination without walking the path.  It has been almost a year since I have been to proper mountains. I miss mountains and I miss the simplicity of life there.  And it's a harsh reality, a simple life with a healthy body and mind is way better than a chaotic life on the top of the career ladder. More than one's work, one has to navigate through the work politics and people management.  Given a chance, what would you choose ?  A peaceful life or a lead role in a cage ? Given a chance, where would you settle ? A soulful, healthy, clean village or a dying metro city ? What else should I mention in today's entry? How was my day ? Like a typical Monday. Did I read enough ? No. Did I eat healthy? Yes. Did I drink en...

 Hi,   I never really got the idea behind naming the first of anything as Pilot ! What are we expecting out of it ... to make the `thing` fly and touch the sky. Anyway, this is my first blog (hence named Pilot), and I really don't know what to mention about.  I am a programmer by profession and it has been almost 7 years now, programming for money.  But I often ask myself, if it hasn't been for money, would I have ever touched a computer? Do I really enjoy programming, do I really like to command a computer to do stuff for me and feel that sense of superiority in doing so ! I guess I do enjoy that sense of Power! But then another question pops-up in my popcorn container mind, that if its really all about the sense of Power over a computer ... am I really a power hungry person.. well I guess not, because in my current organisation, I am just another contributor. I don't lead a team, I don't manage people. I get paid for writing good, bug-free code and ship the re...
