For Idiot Software Engineers :P

Today i went for the movie "3 idiots". Actually one of the best Hindi movies i have seen. Not because of the fun and starcast of the movie, but because of the message the movie wanted to convey. Atleast some of the people like me goes towards that message, and it is actually great for Indian cinemas that the trend they have been following since some years to spread out some social issues and possible solutions. And ofcourse, kudos to Aamir, coz he is more of an assistant director than a good actor. I have observed that from some of his previous movies like Lagaan, RDB. He actually go for these kind of movies which are a little different from the rest ones coz of its theme.

And, we people, software engineers can actually understand that this trend is actually being followed over some years since these IT companies have started recruiting each and every engineer, be it a Mechanical Engineers, Electronics Engineers(that's a different thing that i am also an Electronics and communication Engineer :P) , or Civil Engineers, who haven't studied a bit of software in their 4 years of acads.

People are working, be it interests them or not. But there is a threshhold for everyone, just like Madhavan left his engineering in final year of his B.Tech., if at all your work is not your passion. It may be possible, that one day, after 10 years working in Software Industry, one quits the job and go for wild animals photography or go to spaceship for the rest of his life. It all depends when your mindset gets to change and you may do something which people, at times, call crazy. And if due to some reasons, this at all cannot happen (which is true for most of people) , mental stress will continue to increase, i guess. And in some way, it comes out resulting frustration and all. So better not to go for something which doesn't interest you rather to go for low earning, but which is your passion. And i can bet that at the later stages, this earning will come out to be the reverse.

Actually a must watch for parents :) and professors :P

A lesson :S:

Last weekend, I was at my sister's place just to chill out with my di n jiju and ofcourse my cute nephew (but he hits me a lot) and ma niece. My niece is in class V, i guess. I was just sitting besides her and was looking how she was completing her homework, without which she wouldn't be allowed to go to play Chhupan-chhupai (Hide and Seek :P) and Kaccha paapad-pakka papad ( that too a street game that children enjoy a lot) and badminton and lots of other things which she would love to do. This reminded me of my childhood days in which i would also do the same kind of activities.

There is one thing called escaping, which everyone does to easen up their work. People do what they like to do. She was doing so because she would like to play with her friends more than completing her homework. But because she wouldn't be allowed to do her favorite thing before that, she was actually trying to complete her work. I remember there was an experiment about identifying some properties of Solids and Liquids, which should be performed at home according to book. And i can bet that, had that experiment been performed at home, she would love to do that rather to play her favorite games. However she knew all of the answers anyhow, she rather ticked all the answers without even reading that.

Everything which can be made interesting, should be made interesting. And everything which comes in your way has some reason. Don't think that this is such a waste. But the thing is, we realise it a little late.
