My beloved loving God

I find that Bhagwan Sri Satya Sai Baba is always with me. He guides me by way of giving His divine directions through messages. I am fortunate that I got the chance to taste his divinity.

The fear

The fear comes from within. It is your own weakness that manifests as a fear seemingly coming from outside

नंगो की जमात

जो भारत एक वीरों  का देश था वोह आज कहाँ खो गया है? जिस तरफ़ देखो  भय  का वतावरण  है। दुश्मन सरहदों  से  आँख दिखाता  है और आतंकवादी अंदर  से उत्पात मचाता  है। बाहरवाला अणुशक्ति की धोंस पर  जीता है और अंदर वाला साम्प्रदाइक शक्तिओं  के पीछे छुप  कर वार करता  है। 

राजनेता  कुर्सी की सम्भाल  में जुटें हैं।  आम आदमी मेह्गाईं  की मार से त्रस्त है। लूट खसोट के   बाजार में जो जितना बड़ा चोर वो उतना बड़ा शख्स। चोरों का देश से क्या लेना देना। उल्टा चोरी  का सामान तो विदेश मैं ही जमां है। इसलिए पश्चिम भक्ति जरूरी है ओर उसका पुरज़ोर प्रचार उससे  भी जरूरी हो जाता है। 

 खुलेपन  के नाम पर  नंगा नाच और नाच का बखान इस जमाने के उच्च वर्ग  की  पहचान बन गया है। नंगो  की इस जमात में जो कपड़ों  की बात करे  वो चोर या कम्सकम पुराने विचारों वाला रूर्डिवादी  गँवार।

इन नंगो को कुछ फर्क नंही पड़ता भले ही हमारे जवानों को सरहद पर दुश्मन मार  जाए, उनके अंग काट कर बेईज्ज़त करदे और छाती ठोक कर ललकारे और कहे - "हिमाकत मत कर बैठना, मैं एक अणु शक्ति हुं "

कबतक हम इस गीदड़ भभकी को सुनेगे और सहेंगे ? कब हम अपने  इस नंगेपन को ढकेंगे  इक शर्म के आवरण से। समय आ गया है कि हम सम्राट अशोक से कहें कि अपना फैसला वापस लो। दुबारा तलवार उठाओ कलिंग से मत घबराओ , हमें कमजोर मत बनाओ। साधू जरूरी है पर साधुओ को बचाने के लिए मजबूत राजा की जरूरत होती है। जब राजा ताकतवर होता है तो देश मजबूत बनता है और आस पास के छुट्भइए मुल्क हाथ जोड़ कर नमन करते है।

Cost of crime

Baba says that "There was no avatar in 'Satyug' as all were honest and truthful. In 'Tretayug', the world was divided into two parts : good and evil. Lord Ram travelled to a distant part of the world to destroy the demons of the time. By the time 'Dwaperyug' started, the good and evil were living together and therefore Lord Krishna had to segregate them in two groups and destroyed the 'Kaurvas' group. In 'Kalyug', both the attributes have gone inside the individuals. A man is both good and bad i.e. the person is good for himself and bad for others. So you will have to kill all to kill the evil. Therefore, the only path left is - 'Updeasha' i..e.counselling" 

The evil part has dominated so much that now a person is not afraid of committing crime but only evaluates its cost before its execution. For instance, I asked a fellow passenger "why do you travel without ticket? Are you not afraid?. He said "My calculation is simple - Travel without ticket and save Rs. 1500/= per month. Pay the fine  of Rs. 200/=  as and when you are caught, the probability of which is only once in a month. So the saving is Rs. 1300/= per month. The fellow is impertinent and unashamed.

When I was studying at UOR, Roorkee, I read a news item in the local paper. The news was that - At Purkaji, a bus was looted in the night. The decoits snatched the costly items and jewellery  from the passengers and alighted the bus. After sometimes, one of them came back and  distributed the looted items back to their owners. After the distribution he kind of requested the passengers not to report the matter. After inquiry, he replied, "The cost of the looted material is far less than the amount they have promised to pay  for this crime". So the cost of crime was more than the profit.

The cost of jumping of red light at crossing is just Rs. 400/=, and that of ramming your car into others vehicle is only abuses, and if it happens in the parking area it is absolutely free i.e. not even the abuses. Stalking a girl,  costs nothing but harassment to the prey by the mugger.
In general the rape incidences are not reported and if a brave one reports the incidence, the conviction rate is very poor. In fact, there is no witness in these cases because the only witness is the victim herself. For the culprit the cost is minimal but the victim suffers both physically and mentally throughout her life.

The irony is that the world passes by and nobody bothers for nobody.



The recent incidence of rape in the bus has jolted Delhi like never before. Damini's dead body is being brought back tonight from Singapore. May be tomorrow morning she will be hurriedly cremated. I hope Delhi does not go back to its routine. Let us join hands together to maintain the pressure on these dumb and deaf politicians lest they as usual brush this ghastly act under the carpet and move on. Not only the culprits be punished in severest way possible but effective laws must be enacted so that the cost of committing the crime becomes prohibitive for the sinners.

Do not think of tomorrow and do not think of yesterday. Live in the present, live in the moment, and thus live in the existence. Then you will be happy.

Object Oriented Programming

The programming process has evolved through many phases. The journey started with programmers who would write programs which some how worked without giving any importance to readability of the program. The languages like FORTRAN and BASIC neither enforced any discipline nor were the programmers trained to write user centric programs. The result was unstructured understandable programs susceptible to bugs acting as time bombs like Y2K problem. The major problem was that the programs were not maintainable.

The structured programming techniques did enforce some discipline on the programmers by way of shunning the use of ‘goto’ statements and encouraging the programmers to use ‘easy to read and difficult to write’ style of code statements i.e. choosing long and meaningful names for the variables, functions, procedures, modules etc. The major emphasis was to use block structures in the program. For instance any code enclosed between a pair of curly braces or the pair of begin – end was termed as a block. Pascal and ‘C’ supported blocks like compound statements, loops, functions, procedures, files etc. This technique worked good for hard core programmers who were able to write large and complex programs using structured programming techniques. Unix operating system was written using ‘C’. Then there were always few hard core programmers available in the market.

Nevertheless, the importance was given to procedures as to how to solve the problem at hand. The algorithm development consumed more time of the developer and least importance was given to the data. So, a program was virtually a collection of decomposed components i.e. interacting functions or modules exchanging data and data structures among them. Such data, especially the global data, was vulnerable to inadvertent corruption by the fellow programmers.

The remedy to the above mentioned drawbacks is that we put more emphasis on data and try to create reusable software components. The reusable components can further be combined to get bigger and more powerful software.

For example, in our day to day life we compose bigger objects from smaller objects. The desktop computer is made up many smaller objects like: mother board, RAM, HDD, SMPS, mouse, keyboard etc. We use the services offered by these objects and never bother as to how they work or who made them?

When we look around then we find that we are surrounded by nothing but objects only. You & I, books, pen, paper, laptop etc. are all objects. In fact any real world program has to be a collection objects. A program about a University would involve objects like students, professors, clerks, class rooms, books, chalk, mark sheets etc. Then why not write programs using objects which would be very natural way of creating useful software comprising of interacting objects.

Object Oriented Programming (OOP) is a paradigm shift in programming which defines, creates, and manipulates objects to develop a reusable software. C++ is an imperative language developed to support OOP components and features like: classes, objects, abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism etc.

                  सियासत से भरी ये नोकरी बहुत लंबी लगती है

तन्खवाह की इन्तेजार लंबी  लगती है
                 इन्क्रीमेंट की पावत और भी लंबी  लगती है
 लंबी  लंबी  डी ए की किश्त लगती हैं
                   मुझे तो ये महेंगाई  बहुत लंबी लगती है
