A Night Sky

Laying down in a garden on a concrete bench, appreciating the enigmatic night, to be spent under these countless stars, it takes me to a contemplative state of mind.

The glimmering light of stars which was aureate at the emergence, travels for years just to make the dark night sky exquisite. These twinkling stars neither illuminate the sky nor diminish the darkness on Earth.

Some of those bright stars may have ceased years ago, but leave their reminiscence, presenting a marvelous amalgamation of the past of the universe ranging from billions of years to few minutes, leaving a beautiful insight of present in from of you to meet at Horizon, where Past and Present meet and Future resides.

This endless walk in the golden past, which left etched memories for our mysterious future, the source may still be there or not, but still makes the life beautiful.

Then, you suddenly realize the harsh truth of life:

Developer and 8 Hours day

After spending more than 3 years working in IT as a Software Developer, seeing the ups and downs. One of the trends is to slowly increase working hours, 30 minutes a time, as if, we would not realize and the more we stay in office, the more will be our productivity.

If that were the scenario, Google would not be strategizing to keep employees out of office, after office hours.

As said, If a normal human body consists of 70% water, than a developer's body consists of 70% coffee. 

A developer's normal day have a breakfast break, a lunch break, a snacks break and frequent coffee breaks. 

Oh wait, some meetings, replying to mails, web browsing and some socializing.

I forgot, some programming too!!!

Simply, 8 hours of 100% concentration is a myth.

More working hours means, more breaks, or more network usage, else more socializing.

A developer only codes, what he has planned for the day.

Love Confession

I always thought of making it grand and now I confess this publicly.

We were to meet 44th time. But, it was no different than the first time. I saw her, still with the same eagerness (or more) to meet, which ended with more happiness after seeing her. She has changed a lot in all this time, but, I still feel the same about her.

It all started with a message. In the winters, on the cold  day of December 16, I received a message flashing, she will come to meet me soon. I kept waiting.

December 31, another message popped up and I felt a sudden chill down my spine. It was her. She was waiting for me. I quickly ran out of office to meet her and saw her the very first time. We spent a good time together and she parted away with a promise of meeting soon.

Meeting her was the best New Year gift, I could possibly receive.

In the era of Smartphones, where thousands of apps are trying to connect the World, she still uses old fashioned SMS to communicate. No Whatsapp Message, no FB Post, no Insta Story can ever match that charisma of her message.

Our meetings continued. I got transferred, but, she kept her promise and kept coming to meet me. Unlike others, she never let me wait, always on time, she probably knows, how worried I get, if she is even 10 minutes late. She has gained some weight during this time, but, this is, what I like about her.

Though she has many friends and a lot many out there, waiting to see her just once, I have always believed, there is something between us. Everything I do, I do it for her. I think of her constantly. I think of her while working, while shopping, while partying, even when I am with friends. I have become addicted to her with time and it feels like, I can't live without her.

Now that, most of the people who know me, know about her. My family liked her, the very first time, I introduced her to them. In this time of recession, sometimes, I fear, if she would leave me.

Though, I get to see her, only once a month, but, I always try to keep a part of her with me. Every meeting gives me enough strength to spend rest of the days with happiness and in anticipation of our next meeting.

What else can be True Love.
