Today, a colleague of ours was troubleshooting this bug in his application. The bug says, application hangs when uses a USB drive. So all possibilities were being discussed like manufacturer/brand of USB drive, USB 2.0/3.0, its driver software, and other settings or who knows if its file system is corrupt. Now, some people keep on drawing analogies co-relations between things in different systems. With these people such things happen at work, in deep discussions, in office bus, at lunch anywhere may be in shower. It’s not a geek stuff, not to impress anybody; it just happens and they cannot resist the feeling, it’s their right, their freedom to do comparisons, to sharpen their humor.
So there you are, right in the middle of a USB File system corruption discussion, he came up with this idea of a new File System which can never be corrupted by any easy software means, and he named it “Anna Hazare File System” which never gets corrupt by any software means, unless you damage it physically. Everyone laughed and thus diluted theirs some pain to live in a corrupt country like ours.
Friday evening, everyone ready for a long weekend, day after Sunday is Monday ah, I mean our Independence Day. It’s just a regular holiday, everyone planning to visit places, no patriotic feelings. Four nights and three full days can be easily spent away from everyday’s madness, out of this routine NEWS, somewhere at some secluded place. They are right actually. Iam getting mad.It’s the government’s job to provide facilities, basic amenities, like clean drinking water (even if you are paying property TAX every year), good clean roads(even if you are paying huge road taxes every year ) , electricity (even if you are willing to pay 6 RS/Unit) Medical facilities (Do government hospitals exist ? There is only one AIIMS in a country of 12000000 sick people, funny isn’t it) I know we all are aware of this bu&&hit and I don’t want to ……. But, personally if someone asks me why don’t you do it, why don’t you come out and raise your voice why don’t you come and vote? Are you not asking me to open a restaurant if I don’t get a good food in the city? (Sorry, never mind). My question type answer to them is, why isn’t there a merit based on which they can disqualify the scoundrels candidates from elections, why can’t they be barred for whole life? Huh… no one really has time to think and fix the mess, we go office, face traffic, come home, face traffic ,tired ,eat, TV, sleep, & repeat next day. Well more than 90% of our government’s agencies are corrupt and inhuman.
Unrelated but please listen, nearby my previous office, it was raining that evening and as usual the big drain in front of that Motor Cycle showroom was over flooding. But the courageous and so courteous drown to earth IT professional boys and girls were walking in that ankle deep sewage water happily and crossing that deadly road without any fear of death and dying under any vehicle in rain in pain. No over bridge anywhere near.
I bet, even in the year 2050 , India’s ruling party’s electoral manifesto will say अब गाँव-गाँव शहर- शहर बिजली सड़क पानी (Every village & city will have electricity, road and water )At last, Anna Hazare's team & Dr. Subramanian Swamy a few good men who can bring a few things on track.
