New PARADOX discovered

There is a new paradox i have come acorss in the IT industry. Its called the Developer-Tester Paradox. It states that "Developer fears only two things: when the tester finds too many bugs and second when the tester finds no bugs."

The brief history of time is still experiencing the aftershocks of 'THE BIG BANG'. Time must have had foster parents. Growing up once my little brain was able to grasp and understand scientific facts and was able to acknowledge the delicate balance right I had grown up believing Time was GOD's child and based my notion on the fact thereat the delicate balance between heavenly bodies to be GOD for the perfect




My quest for God lived a bubbles life. I had begun the journey with a lot of zeal guiding my thoughts through the sea of tranquilty. But the turbulent waters of reasoning drifted me forcefully into tangles of paradoxes. Encountering the holy paradox which states that

Independence Day tête-à-tête (overheard)

(WHY INDIANS SHOULD BE PROUD OF INDIA)
Son
(in complete sync with his generation, sways his bust to rock music, loves to watch Hollywood flicks, chills out on coke and munches fast food. And just like any other boy savors a dream to work for rich Uncle Sam leaving the cradle of Mother India as soon as he is able to walk on his feet.)

Father
( in complete sync with his generation, ridicules politicians, points out the persistent inflation, complains about corruption but does not want to leave his homeland for his ancestral roots are buried in the freedom struggle.)

One day getting fed up of glancing everyday at pessimistically drawn caricatures of India by native as well as international reports and comparing Indian with the ostentatious west the boy asked his father that "Why Indians are proud of India".

Son: Is it because we have been slaves to the Britishers for more than 200 years?

Father: No son, absolutely not! It is because that very mighty British raj went to its knees in front of a frail Indian who didn’t fire a single shot and never allowed any other Indian to.



Boy: Ok dad you tell me should we be proud of an army that was found half in the snowy beds of Kargil while the enemy meticulously captured strategic mountain peaks?

Father: Well son we should be proud of the fact that even death could not coax them to cross the Line of Control retaining every inch of their motherland without putting a single foot on the enemy’s territory.



Son: But father what about the brain drain. Does that still allow you share pride with your fellow Indians.

Father: Yes son, we admit that Indians leave their country to settle abroad but we take pride from the fact that every year roughly 25,000 Indian I.T. professionals settled abroad have opted to return to India to work in adverse conditions leaving material comforts and superior infrastructure without a tinge of regret.



Son: What about the bumpy roads with potholes glaring back shamelessly revealing the endemic nature of corruption each year by the unforgiving erratic rainfalls.

Father: That is very true my son, but allow those potholes to trip you
and letting you fall , there would always be more than one hand making you
stand on your feet back again.



Son: c'mon dad your generation thinks from the heart not from the mind
which has the power to dream big.

Father: It's the heart my son that pumps blood into the mind giving it
the power to dream.

What's Next...?

Indeed, the EARTH is spinning too fast! It seemed yesterday only when our ancestors killed their animal instincts and adorned civilizations sweeping across the world with an incessant renaissance from life in woods, to kingdoms then villages. The journey continued with the introduction of democracy, to socialistic and to the present corporate world.
The pre-industrial era which preceded the corporate world regarded only land, labor and capital as economic resources with the post-industrial era adding technology resource as well. Despite skeptics conceiting it was saturation, that unsatisfying human urge fired the information revolution discovering information as the most prized corporate resource having strategic implications.
Once this fact was realized engineers and technologist stirred into action to develop formal methods to plan, monitor, control and evaluate the utilization of information as a need was felt to manage it just as any other organizational resource like money, men, material or markets.
Information cognizance gave a fillip to information management tools based on the platform of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), with Office Automation System (OAS) and Transaction Processing System (TPS) already a thing of the past, giving way to Decision Support Systems (DSS) and Expert Information System driven on virtual information highway commonly known as the internet with Management Information System (MIS) being the most generic term which covers every facet of information processing. All this augurs well, with the future presumably to be fostered by Artificial Intelligence (AI).
This exponential advancement in technology and continual innovation has coaxed mankind to ask new age techno-mavericks repeatedly the omnipresent question “What's next.......?

Plea of a maverick soul

Once upon a time a man was trying to rein his thoughts that were running like wild horses grazing over the grasslands of his mind when he heard a very familiar voice cying. It seemed to him that he had known that voice for long. Determined to find out who was crying he followed the crying and found that his very soul was shedding tears in solitude.

He said "All my life we have lived together and i thought i was keeping you happy but why, here you are crying."

His soul pleaded "Since the day i was born you have entrapped me in the prison of words never allowing me to breathe in the free world of actions. You have always introduced me to your friends in adjectives but never dressed me in verbs to let your friends see themselves and form their own opinions.
You should not called me:
jovial, but see whether i have adorned a smile in adversity?
honest, but i have only spoken more truths than lies?
passionate, but was i willing to give my life for love?
atheist, i may not belive in god but i do acknowledge his presence?
I just want u to remember me as someone who may not have done things right,
but always tried to do the right thngs.....
