  • Only if I could speak

    I am a Computer Software and these are my unspoken words. Unlike you, a human species which is thought to be the creation of God, I am your creation. Being my creator you gave me a name but that name only reflected how you wanted to use me and not what I really liked myself to be called. You felt it is enough to name me something like `FileCopy`, `AccountValidation`, `AntiVirus`, `FileZip` &c. Imagine you were just born and your father, after watching your face minutely by holding your two tiny legs and hanging you upside down, bringing your tiny little face very close to his, became so exuberant that he wanted you to be a fishmonger or a janitor when you grow up. So instead of giving you a nice name like `Pallab` or `Robert` he started calling you by `Fishmonger` or `Janitor`.

  • Dig Deep and Come Up Heavy

    "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride," is from an old English proverb. IF is a small word with a tremendous meaning. If I had taken a different road when I was young, I would be a millionaire today. How many times have you heard that one? If I had married the boss's daughter, I would now own the company. If I had invested that hundred dollars in the copper stock, I would be rich today. If, if, if...a small word with a powerful meaning. IF is akin to another small word, BUT. I could have been a millionaire, but... I could have married the bosses daughter, but. I could have written the American novel, but. The true kinship of IF and BUT is, both are remarkably poor excuses, neither necessarily true. They are inferior defenses for our failures in life. How many times have you heard someone say, "God knows I tried?" Well, you apparently didn`t try hard enough. Please allow me to show you an example. One night I went to bed, I was eighteen years old.
