Lines from "Angels and Demons"

Image
Let me point out some lines which I liked the most while reading the book "Angels and Demons" by DAN BROWN :- *Religion and spiritualism came into existence in order to fill the gap which science couldn't fill. * Symbols are needed for any organisation. When the organisation vanishes, some others pick-up the good things from them, the symbol being the first thing. *One doesn't need to have cancer in order to analyse its symptoms. * Religious fight[ my god is better than your god ] between two men is much more horrible than the war between two countries for a piece of land. * English is the universal language of science. Many think that mathematics is the universal language of science!!!

Who is your Role-model?

Image
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. ...

ARMAGEDDON

I was standing near the parking lot. A girl came near me asking, “Are not you the youngest movie director of India? Mr.…?” Expecting appreciation, quickly I shook my head. “Can you make me as the heroine for your next movie 2500 A.D?” She begged me. She seemed like an animal of some other planet(Alien?). “A dentist may have to work for months together to re-innovate her face cut!” –I thought. If this girl is the heroine, I’ll be lost in the box-office!!!” “I’ll tell you the story first. If you are convinced, then it’s all right” –I told. “All the shootings in New York city.” –I said. “Wav! Cool!” –she was amazed. “Hero’s father is a scientist. He works for “Advanced Studies In Science And Technologies.” He is trying to invent a ‘future-discovering’ machine, from the last twenty years. I mean, in A.D 2500, he’s doing all these.” “And the hero?” –she...

Doubts...

"Papa, what is inflation?" -questioned Rocky. "My silly boy, you won't understand. Go and play with the neighboring kids" -replied his dad, reading the news paper. Unlike all other boys, Rocky is a quick-responding boy. He always comes to his dad with a handful of doubts, which, according to his father is over-matured. "Why papa, U.S has no any contenders in the international economic-level?","What actually is the intention of the terrorists?" - are some of the samples of his doubts. Now-a-days, Mr.John maintains 100% silence whenever Rocky questions. Rocky goes out to play with the other kids, without murmuring anything!!! Silly boy! What could he do??? **** Rocky returned from the neighbor's house too early this evening. Dad amazed, "Why my boy...? Are you O.K?" "Papa, nobody is there to play in Chintu's house; everybody were crying. Some were telling that Chintu's papa is very serious....

What is your strategy?

" Never fall in any affection with anybody in your life. Don't 'feel' anything. Love yourself...!" -This was one of the SMSess I received one day morning. As I never love the messages with some 'feelings', I just deleted the SMS. After a while I started really thinking about the message content. Is that really true? Shouldn't I fall-in affection with anybody? Also, is it wrong to love someone? or some'thing'? Life is not as easy or as difficult as anybody can explain. The real life is the 'experience.' All of us have born to achieve something in life. Now comes the strategy: How will you achieve the things?You'll get two major ways. (i) Love and (ii) Business. If you want not to be 'affected' by anyone, you should go in the second path. I'll tell you one more thing: Love is a minor part of the business. i.e, there also we have to 'love' the things a bit, but there's a limit. Too much is too bad...

Self discipline

Image
"How will be your behavior when you see that nobody is observing you? Will you still be following some rules? Will you still be having some manners? Then, you are a self disciplined gentleman. Such disciplines always lead us to success. Suppose that you are given a home work in your class. The teacher will tell you that she would be checking it the next day. You'll surely do the works given. On that same day,suppose if some other teacher will give the home work, and say, he won't warn you, he won't give any punishments. Will you do the work still? If you do, then you are the self-disciplined one. Whenever we think that somebody is observing us, we'll do the best out of us. That's why we say that god is observing all the things. When we are afraid of something, we can give the society the best. If you only are observing yourself, then no need to afraid, you will always be the best. Let's take this self-discipline aspect more seriously...!
