Software Engineers never die. They just go offline.

I just read this line today and loved it! And I totally agree. Even though I have switched my profile, the software engineer in me is still alive and does kick sometimes    The four years in which we engineers acquire the degree (that’s what we do, that’s it), are so unbelievably powerful and memorable, that those years remain with us all our lives. Maybe, as it is frequently said, we hardly are taught anything in colleges which will be applicable in the industry, we still are very different from the rest!

It goes without saying that four years in an engineering college is probably the best time of anyone’s life. The best experience ever.

Cheers to us software engineers!

Just a dream…

There can never be another,

‘cause my heart forbids.

No one can mean more to me,

Than you ever did.

I may seem happy,

I may smile.

But I still see you with me,

Walking down the aisle.

I don’t know if this dream,

Would ever be fulfilled,

But baby now I am fine,

With it being just a dream…

Back and eager to blog!

It’s been long that I have posted on the blog,

What with work that had me slog.

Creative ideas I now lack,

Earlier I had an uncanny knack.

Of churning out poems and musings,

But I have to thank God’s blessings,

That now I am back and eager to blog,

Even if work or life makes me slog.

There just has to be a purpose

Many a time, when we go through a very harrowing situation and it emotionally drains us, they say we in fact become emotionally stronger. We may not realize it then, but it toughens us up. Not in a bad way. We may not become skeptical, or turn into a non-believer (Well some people do, but that’s another story). The rest of us and the best of us emerge more tenacious, more sound, more spiritual.

During the difficult times, we sometimes wonder why in the world is this happening to us! Is there a reason? Did I need to learn this lesson? Would I have not survived better without this period in life? I do not know the answer yet, but I believe that yes, there must be a purpose. There just has to be. Maybe for making me stronger for something worse that I may encounter in the journey ahead, but now, I am ready. Bring it on!
