How big an achievement is it to be a Software Engineer ??
I was very seriously thinking about this for the last 2 or 3 days, how great is it on this earth to be a software engineer. I am sure western world might not see software engineering as a great work but in our nation – India- software engineers are considered next to god!!! unfortunate; This is all because they live a lavish life style, dress well, drive a nice car, and work in air conditioned work space, is that all enough to qualify one to be a very successful person in life? Hope not. Rather, wish not. But trust me, I feel, that is how it is.
How much of the work that software engineer produces if flawless? If it was so we would never need a separate department for testing softwaresJ. Every engineer – developer- I know of, works with one intention in mind, there is testing team to find bugs, why should I be bothered, and never bother to produce something flawless or at least close to flawless. Saying this, I don’t want to say that every software engineer is the same, if it was so, software engineering would have not come so far. Per say, how many people blog and how many searches for that, there is the answer. The day Google servers crash, the productivity of our so called great Software engineers would probably drop by 80%?? I guess 85%!! Maybe more J so, what is today’s development methodology called? Waterfall, Agile, Scrum – no it is GOD – Google Oriented Development. Interesting!!
I am not underestimating all the work that we do, I am just trying to let people realize, if not so, that we – software engineers - are doing nothing great than any one around, unless you are doing it with passion. But I don’t feel people feel so. In India, almost every parent wants their kids to be a Software Engineer and nothing less than that – I say it because most of the other jobs are considered disrespect!! It is almost considered a SIN for not being one!! The person is almost considered useless if not!! I guess, this is all because most of it is by purpose than by passion. I don’t want to talk much about it here, have been talking for long now. Every one wants to be with a big branded company no matter what they do there as long as they are paid for it!!! Again – as my blog says I am speaking my heart – never mind if others agree with me or not.
If you ask me, in the current trend, getting a job as a software engineer is the easiest of all jobs that I can think of!! Have a graduation in hand – the easiest of all the tasks today - and you are half done, browse internet for some puzzles – with answers though – you are closer – bluff a bit in the interview and you are in – are you a beautiful good looking girl? – You will have some reservation - not to worry much – isn’t that easy?
Readers, please comment your thoughts!!!

how important is motivation in ones life....????
I would say, motivation definitely helps one to achieve goals easier and still keep you active... when you set goals.. have strong motivation behind that.. may be something like me !! motivation in certain case can be because of someone in life.. but I would say.. self motivation is the most viable option !! be self motivated.. nothing can damage it !!
I also feel, it is equally important for someone to not just be motivated but be motivation for others.. yes.. and I also feel that, it is not really necessary for someone to be successful at every stage of life to motivate others.. rather a person with great success stories after sorrowful failures might be even more motivating.. as you find such people more frequent than the former !!! fyi, I rather come into later category !!! when one tries to motivate others, they tend to do things better than normal... dont they? I believe in that principle though !!
anyway.. as the blog says.. I am just speaking my mind.. irrespective of what it means to other minds.. take it if you think it is making sense ignore it if it is not !!! Good Luck !!

Voice against corruption !!!
Was watching TV and was surprised to see school kids talk about corruption, should that be considered awareness on a good note or the depth of the roots of corruption on the wrong note.. I was unable to decide.. kids too talking about corruption and supporting Anna was in a way inspiring and was worrying too.. tears flew down my eyes.. what a situation we are in... our f*****ing ba**** politicians and bureaucrats have brought us down to such a worst stage... just imagine.. what is the money they are dwindling on.. it is ours.. we paid it in the form of taxes.. it is our sweat and blood
97 hours fasting from one great man has awakened the entire nation. Glad to see the kind of support he got. Irrespective of what the end result is going to be, one should be glad that there are many Indians wanting a change and just waiting for the right time to fight it back. And yes it was all over the news that it was a victory of common man and victory of democracy... the worrying part is, our politicians are well know to slip tongues, will this not be another such case?? you never know..... lets us wait and watch !!!
waiting for some good to happen in this corrupted world !!!!!! A stupid common man !!!
