Who is your Role-model?

Let me ask you a question first- " Who's your role-mode l?" Everybody aspires to achieve something in life. As by nature, he looks at the paths traveled by the men who were so called 'successful persons'. When he comes across the various turns that they got on their way to success, he starts comparing those with that of him. - This is the first stage of taking someone as your 'Role-model' or 'Noble person'. I'll continue by saying that I don't have any role-models in my life. -What do you mean by a role-model? I have read the auto-biographies of many famous personalities. As I turn the pages of their life, I have found some similarities between my life and theirs. Of course, I want to see myself in the same dais, where they are standing now. Now the question arises: Are they really my role-models? Or, just mile-stones? If you take the spiritual aspects, the image of Swami Vivekananda

I installed Linux [A real tragedy...]

When I came to know that Linux Campus Club [LCC] in association with IEEE-SJCE is presenting a workshop on Linux operating system installation, I was very eager to attend that program. Openly speaking, I didn’t know anything about linux, what are all the features of linux and what are the advantages of it over ‘WINDOWS’. Because I was loving ‘WINDOWS’, which was the platform for me to play all those games like counterstrike, underground, age of empires and even to play 24 hours continuous music, -which I was interested in. Moreover, I didn’t have the experience of working even a single day with linux, -which I thought as a very useless operating system. But, the fact being, some of my ‘panta’ friends and hostelites were programming in linux, even burning the mid-night oil!! I was very jealous about them. So, I was planning that, after installing linux, I will write all those codes and will beat all the ’pantas’. I thanked LCC and IEEE.
