Sitting on a nice chair in front of an LCD monitor, I don’t find time to think about when was that last precious day on which I saw the dawn, the rising sun and listened to bird calls. Aahan… 7 weeks back I remember I was awake and went outside to have a nice tea. Yeah!!! That was a night out.
Otherwise, I don’t know anything, I don’t know Subir Bhatia, and I cannot debate on if he shouldn’t have sold his achievement to Microsoft for some million dollars and should have fought for making the County’s head up or if it was a correct decision. I don’t know if I should hate Hitler or if I should love Mahatma Gandhi. One thing that I know while living (mechanically) in this materialistic world is that I haven’t lost anything in Lehman-Brother’s Crash. One more thing I know partially is to write some crappy things in some weird way called C++, thinking about the program-crashes on and off and looking for a different company to get some hike by writing the same crap there.
The thing I know perfectly well and I do it to the fullest is to hate… Hate this world, hate famous people because of their good deeds, hate people who are more intelligent and productive than me, find out their good qualities, convert them into bad and announce. In front of him I’m his good friend.
Yes, I’m a software engineer…
I’m a software engineer who has seen only money and independence. Money, money and hike are the things on which I live. I don’t care what wrong is happening in this world, I don’t feel anything if something immoral happened to somebody in this society.
The thing I care is to find out some points from unauthentic places called movies and start hating a personality like Mahatma Gandhi. It’s not required for me to fight against something wrong that is not happening to me. Nobody does that, why should I. It doesn’t matter to me. Why should I join politics, I’ve enough money and I can live a cool life on branded stuff and that’s enough. Why should I do anything for this country…? Isn’t it enough that I hate Mahatma Gandhi? Isn’t it enough that I ignore all the good things he did for my freedom and find out the rubbish points from unauthentic piece of shits and try to prove him a bad man?
Yes… I’m a software engineer.
It took some time for me to understand that I’m only a curse for this earth and people living here, it took time to understand that I’m nothing compared to Mahatma Gandhi; it took time to feel that it was actually not needed for Mahatma Gandhi to come out of their wealthy world and fight for our freedom go to jails and live a miserable life.
The reason, I believe I could not visualize this earlier is because I was born after India became Independent; because I did not see that slavery; because I born in a family where everything I got without struggle. I did not see struggle…
I’m frustrated, I need money, I need brand, I need American wine, I like American diet, I like rock music, I like MNCs, I like to show off, I can’t control so I drink, I’m calorie conscious, I like shortcuts…
I know to hate…
Yes I’m a software engineer…

Its a materialist and selfish lifestyle created by West, n we indians always try to follow white world, every second of our life, taking it granted that watever belongs to them is the best, but forget a basic difference that they are well developed society and we are under developed world, so adoptin their approach toward life, is creating troubles for us!

hey mayank.सबसे पहले तो बधाई ब्लॉगिंग शुरु करने के लिए। सौम्य ने बताया मुझे। उम्मीद है आप मुझे भूल नहीं गए हैं। बॉस ब्लॉग तो अच्छा है चेतन भगत दी नॉवेलिस्ट के बाद मयंक जोशी द ब्लॉगर। एक techie के thoughts जानने का मौका मिला। मगर डियर क्या वाकई लाइफ इतनी ही फर्ज़ी है?ये जो दुनिया है न इसमें दो तरह के लोग हैं बॉस एक तो वो जो कठिनाई महसूस करते हैं मगर उफ भी नहीं करते। दूसरे वो जो समस्या को न सिर्फ महसूस करते हैं बल्कि उसे खत्म करने पर आमादा हो जाते हैं। तो मेरे दोस्त क्या सोचते हो? i m not preaching u to be a rebel but if u feel that sumthing needs to be dun,sumthing sumwhere is missing,then dont sit and watch go nd change it for urself.दूसरी बात ये कि ज़िंदगी सिर्फ नौकरी नहीं है। काम ज़रूरी है पर ज़िंदगी जीना उससे भी ज़्यादा। हम एक ज़िंदगी में बहुत कुछ कर सकते हैं पर सोचो कैसे वैसे जैसे बारिश के बाद भी पंछी अपना खाना जुटाने निकल पड़ता है। भीगे पंखों को फैला कर। न कहीं धूप, न साया, न सराब(मृगतृष्णा)
कितने अरमान हैं कि सहरा(मरुस्थल) में
कौन रखता है मज़ारों का हिसाब
नब्ज़ बुझती भी भड़कती भी है
दिल का मामूल(स्वभाव) है घबराना भी
रात अंधेरे ने अंधेरे से कहा
एक आदत है जिये जाना भी
be happy and try to find ways to be more happy.all the best monkey boy.oops sorry mayank.happy blogging.i m swati
hello mayank...........its being a very long time dat i didn't read ne stuff from ur side........come on man.......write sumthing..........wanna read some sensible stuff.
Mayank!
