Oh!! What the hell!! Oh No.. No… Its not me!!! I havn’t fallen in love with anyone. Its about a song yaar.. Yeah its a track from the Hindi movie “Woh Lamhe..”. I don’t even know what the hell this movie is all about. But everyone seems to have fallen in love with this song; well, at least most of my friends here in Bangalore. Even me!! There is some kind of sweetness this song has that it’s driving everyone crazy. I will tell about an incident that happened to me. I was on my way to home back from office. I was listening to this track on a local radio channel called “Radio Mirchi”. And I got an SMS around that time. I was so engrossed in listening to that track, that I didn’t give a damn to that SMS. But when the song stopped playing, I saw the SMS; it was from one friend saying, “Radio-Mirchi”!! I was dumbstruck.
This is in reference to the article (Escape – “Apple Whines”) in Digit. For your information Digit is a, or it describes itself as a technology magazine. The article (“Apple Whines”) published in Digit, describes Microsoft Microsoft as a very innovative company which cares a lot for its users. And that’s the reason Microsoft has been adding new features(or should I say BUGS) in every software it’s been releasing. Well that seems ridiculous… Because the whole world knows that, the only thing known to Microsoft is Copy-n-Paste. Since its inception it has done nothing but copying other innovative companies like Apple. It relies on its sheer $ power to do that. Everyone knows it. And this f**king Indian magazine seems to be on Microsoft’s payroll! One can cite many examples. IBM developed HPFS for its OS/2, Microsoft copied it to make NTFS for its Windows NT. Apple developed GUI, Microsoft copied it to make the infamous Windows OS. Sony developed the Play Station, and what Microsoft did is renamed it to XBOX. And these days I can hear some rumours about Microsoft making an mp3 player. SIGH!!!!! Obviously copied from the iconic iPod. Still this technology magazine is talking about innovations made by Microsoft… Yeah, they are releasing Vista(Longhorn) somewhere around 2007 with loads of features. Again a botched up copy of Mac OS x Tiger. This article also talks about the Mighty Mouse having a single button, while the PC mouse has 2 keys and a scroll whell!! SO WHAT??? After-all “The back of a Mac looks better than the front of a PC!!”.
Hi friends, this Hiter fan is back again. I have finished my training and now I am ready for some damn assignments. But I have never thought of life much. Never done much introspection. I live life as it comes to me. I have seen the ups and downs of it, at least a little bit of it. I dont know what is there for me in the years to come. But since last few days I am analysing more than I have ever done before. I dont know if its out of frustration or something else. Probably after reading this poem u will start thinking.
“In the confines of cubicles by artificial light
Sipping coffee from the machines day and night
Speaking on the phones, in meetings we sit
Staring the monitor, the keyboard we hit
Far away from loved ones whom for days we do not meet
Remembering them, working on our seat
This is life for us, working away from home & loved ones in places afar
What a life, software proffessionals we are…..”
