Discovering Love & life

Everyone in this world is aware of love. Even animals love each other. Still there is so much hatred, so much anguish in the world. Bush wants to kill saddam. North Korea can destroy the whole world. Osama want to bring down another World Trade Center. Why there is so much hatred? The reason too lies in Love. It's all because someone loved the other conditionally.

Some people consider Love nothing but a distraction which diverts u from ur path. Probably, they dont understand love at all. The diversion is all because of expectation of the lover. Some ppl associate love with amorosity and call it 'Natural Love'. There is nothing wrong if u r attracted towards ur love but when u attach a condition, the love deteriorates. Love can be expressed by your eyes, your words or your touch, the main ingredient is the feeling which last forever.

Love is the purest form of affection to any one which remains undeterred in the passage of time in any circumstances. Everythin in the universe which exist in the purest form are forever. For example, matter doesnot get destroyed, it is forever and always accompany energy with it. Similarly, love always accompany energy with it. The soldiers who bring the victory for their country are passionate lovers. The scientists passionately love their work. The mother loves her child unconditionally.

Most of people dont express their love as they fear that they might lose their lover. They expect their lover to love them too. Why to attach such a condition? This fear is the bone of contention. That's why so many love relationships break and their love turn to hatred. U feared that u will lose ur lover if u expressed ur feelings to her. But after a while, u will feel that this feeling has started to trouble u from within . u cannot concentrate on ur work. As soon as u will realize that u'll love her in any case without any condition, all ur fears will vanish. If u tell her about ur feelings, u might lose her as a friend but one thing remains, ur love will be forever as long as the universe exist. If u dont express ur unconditional love, the feeling inside will rot like a standing water. Therefore, it is necessary that ur love shud flow from one heart to another. It might happen u might regret the whole life for not saying the golden words, "I love u".

Love is the most beautiful and purest feeling in the world. Express it as soon as possible! Once u do it, you are filled with so much energy that u can climb Mount everest in one go. U can cross sahara without a drop of water. You can overcome any hurdle in your life if you have this "supernatural" love with u.

Why do people celebrate their birthday??

Birthday is the date when u come to this world. Every year, people around the world celebrate their birthday. Every culture has the tradition to celebrate birthday. This day you are sure that u just fnished one year from ur lifespan and you are more closer to death. So, why to be so merry about the birthday and celebrate it?

Birthdays of children are celebrated mandatorily with great joy. Adults celebrate their birthday according to their wish. The whole idea is to remember the day u have stepped in this world. But as age increases, most of people dont celebrate their birthday. They argue they r not kids. In a way, they are trying to explain the life is no more dreams and why to be so happy about the birthday when u know that u r goin to die one day.

The problem arises here. The candour we had in childhood are bruised by the harsh realities of life. But one has to be optimistic about the life. If you dont want to shout like kids or you are on self-imposed exile just like me, you can ofcourse celebrate your birthday in the unique way. You can celebrate ur birthday with strangers, with street children, with unprivileged.

What I'm tryin to say is that on this day, u brought joy to your parents. They wanted to make this day a memorable day of their life. As a person grows up, one should try to spread the same happiness throughout his life. Every minute, every second should be the memorable moment of life we can cherish. On this day, one has to give the joy to others. Life is all about giving and taking joy and pains from one another. Make this day a memorable day for urself.

Need of open-source culture in India

Open-source is the rule of the day. The mantra of open-source is spreading like a wildfire. Morever, it is happening from something better. Free software like Linux, Apache and OpenOffice.org came into existence becuase of open-source movement. Users around the world use these free open-source tools to fulfill thier needs. Some goes to the further extent of modifying the tool annd making more efficient for free. It is hard for some people to realize that how an efficient software can be developed for free and moreover what do these geeks get from creating the software for free!

There are many reasons for it. First of all, the scientific challenge to overcome the hurdle. Next big motivational force is Bill Gates and his company, Microsoft which distribute software for money.

There is a clear lack of open-source culture in our country.

Whenever I shared codes, I told the faculties that I took the assistance from this guy or that website. This is the way in the open-source world. IBM build its own webserver over Apache. At the same time, they recognizes the Apache's contribution to their web server. As ancient saying goes "knowledge increases with sharing!". We've to return to our roots.



Google Earth: Threat to security of the nation ?

The day Google Earth was lauched, it created huge uproars from various nations. All their defense establishment were visible to every human who has access to the Internet. Even our president, His Excellency A.P.J. Abul Kalam consider it as severe security risk.

To make sure that Google provide enough details about military establishment of India, I tried Google Earth. I searched for INS Virat and I was immediately taken to this view. The picture is so clear that I can even notice where the containers are kept.
What I noticed really intrigued me.The high security-risk areas including airports, army cantonments and Rashtrapati Bhawan are updated weekly. It is possible that Pakistan Army is using Google’s satellite to track daily movement of Indian army. Earlier, this technology was available to few high profile defense officials of superpowers and now, it is available to every netizen. The google has made the world really flat.

Now, a jehadi sitting in Lahore could have access over bird-eye views of various institutions similar to IIS. We can have more attacks just like on IIS in Bangalore. The danger is looming in front of us and we’ve no solution for it. We can only make our borders more secure and prevent any possible infiltration, increase espionage and try to hack into computers of terrorists. Possibly, this might be the only solution.
