Freedom POV -1 (Point Of View)
Freedom POV -1
Let us look at freedom from different point of views.
Why this freedom thing suddenly?
Well!!!
We are nearing I-day (for dummies 'I' stand independence).
So let us have our point of view: Youths
And the first thing that comes to mind is censorship.
Why censorship?
Well, tell me what have the events, since last august shown us.
They have shown us that how people in power, or those who have access to power, have put varied restrictions on us, and be they directly or indirectly.
How? What? When?
Maybe some of you may have not noticed or maybe some have accepted it is fine for our freedom's to be trampled upon, as we are just a bunch of kids just out of our teens, what do you say?
If I go about listing things, things which these people consider, will supposedly stagnate our mind, then I will run short of paper.
I just don't understand their logic.
If I want to do something, which is legal and totally harmless, then it’s my bloody business, who are these so called custodians of our culture to decide what I should do/not do.
If you have a problem, just close your eyes.
The more you try to ban such things, youth's as rebel in nature, are attracted to it.
Instead if these things are just ignored, they don't seem to bother anyone, they loose their value, and it’s like what the heck!
If these things are banned they are considered sinful/sacred, and it’s like I wonder what it is....
, you know, there will be curiosity.
But the question is not that these culture vultures have been able to regulate everything except the air we breathe, the question is,
How have we let these things happen?
Why haven't seen nation-wide protests, why haven't we shown that we cannot be trampled upon, why haven't we shown the power of youth. When we come together, what harm, can those in power do to us?
Do I have to tell you how many youth's are there in this city alone?
But what are we doing?
We are accepting,
We are accepting censorship and saying 'chalta hai yaar, hum kar bhi kya sakte hai'
If this attitude continues, then forget about this write up, no one, not even Hitler, can provoke youth's to wake up, and stop their freedom being taken away.
And if anyone thinks that I am just exaggerating things to fill up space here,
Then just wait, sit quiet, give it shot, don't say a word against anything that is wrong.
And in no time, all our freedoms will go away.
Leaving us only the freedom to breathe, maybe!

Life Path Number
Your Life Path Number Is 6 |
6 You have a strong sense of responsibility: you must feel useful to be happy. The main contribution you make is that of advice, service and ever present support. This is the Life Path related to leadership by example and assumption of responsibility... Thus, it is your obligation to pick up the burden and always be ready to help. The Life Path 6 is one who is compelled to function with strength and compassion. You are a sympathetic and kind person, generous with personal and material resources. Wisdom, balance, and understanding are the cornerstones of your Life Path. Your extraordinary wisdom and the ability to understand the problems of others is apt to commence from an early age... As a child, you easily spanned the generation gap and assumed an important role in life early on. While you may assume huge responsibilities in the community, you life revolves around the immediate home and family. Most with Life Path 6 are the positive types who willingly carry far more than their fair share of the load and are always there when needed. You are very human and realistic about life, and you feel that the most important thing in your life is the home, family and friends. The number 6 Life Path actually produces few negative examples, but there are some pitfalls peculiar to the path. Avoid a tendency to become overwhelmed by responsibilities and a slave to others. Also, avoid being too critical (of yourself or of others). The misuse of this Life Path produces tendencies towards exaggeration, over-expansiveness, and self-righteousness. Imposing one's views in an interfering or meddling way must be an issue of concern. The natural burdens of your number are heavy, and on rare occasions, responsibility is abdicated by persons with this Life Path 6. This rejection of responsibility will make you feel very guilty and uneasy, and it will have very damaging effects upon your relationships with others. |

You Know You're Addicted to Video Games When...
Your wife tells you that you are, and you two kids; Mario, and Sonic; agree with her.
Whenever something bad happens you reach for the pause button.
You can microwave and eat a pizza pop using only your feet.
You've spent so much time playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 -- you actually taught youself how to skateboard.
You've worn out the buttons in the elevator of your apartment.
The only joystick you play with anymore is plugged in to your Xbox.
You've decided you won't go outside anymore due to the 'tacky graphics, poor sound and low playability.'
You've moved your PS2 into the bathroom -- just in case you make it to the next level on Vice City.
Your hands are so gnarled from gripping the controller, you can't even tie your shoes.
You ask your doctor how many lives you have left.
You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends who are addicted to video games.

You Know You're Addicted to Programming/Coding
You Know You're Addicted to Coding When...
Triple espresso's start tasting bland
You have nightmares about COBOL and ADA.
You have good dreams about multiple inheritance, factories, and compilers that support partial template specialization.
Instead of using MS Word, you type your essay for school in HTML using NotePad.
School? What's that?
You can multiply a 32 bit binary number by a 6 digit hexadecimal number in your head.
You laugh at movies that show programmers at work.
You walk outside and wonder why the sun doesn't make a lens-flare in your eye....
You get withdrawal symptoms if you're away from a computer for more than 3 hours
(Lines_of_Code) / (Hours_of_Sleep) < (Number_of_Energy_Drinks_Consumed)
Every time you look at your clock, you see a power of 2 (6:40, 1:28, 2:56, 5:12, 10:24)
You're pressing CTRL+S every 5 minutes, in every application..
You end each line you type with ";", even plain english ones;
You code your own support software for the digital camera you just bought
When your significant other mentions having kids you lecture her on the disadvantages of multiple inheritance.
MSVC opens on startup.
Whenever somebody asks you to do something, you try to think of a way to write a program that would help you.
You have 2 bookshelves filled with programming books in your room... because the 5 shelves in the living room are full.
You know the following sequence by heart: 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 1024 2048 4096 8192 16384 32768 65536 131072
You read The Tao of Programming...and relate.
You need an intercom for downstairs to tell your parents / girlfriend / wife / whatever to get you more JOLT.
When you take a break from programming, and program.
When you can say with a great level of confidance that you have written more lines of code than english.
You wake up in the middle of the night with the solution to your coding problem.
Your 4 year old son has seen you login and out of Windows and Linux so much that he can do it himself.
You are the only one who knows what the difference is between a coder and a programmer.
You have more groceries inside your keyboard than in your fridge.
You have a toothbrush next to your monitor.
You watch a tv sitcom and think "I could write an algorithm that writes the scripts for these things"
You sit stuck at traffic lights and work out a more efficient algorithm for them, based on road orientation, sensor placement, time of year, time of day, weather and local sporting events, in your head.
The people you respect most you have never physically seen or spoken to, but you always bow to their knowledge.
Your family informs you than you should go and make some more friends ...so you start coding AI routines.
You consider 'drinking caffeine' and 'sleeping' to be synonyms.
You can write 'Pong' in any language for any OS (or even NO OS) in under 4 minutes.
You get drunk\high\otherwise intoxicated just for a different coding experience.
You think of sex as an algorithm.
Sunshine genuinely hurts your eyes.
You actually feel like crap from getting 8 hours of sleep, that just so unnatural
You can't help but squeeze math and research topics in while sweet-talking to a girl.
You have a "hacker's manicure" (i.e. huge calluses on all your fingers)
When you die you want "Hello world" carved into your headstone
You keep old computers around and boot them up every once in awhile for the nostalgia.
You would like to have an Aibo to see if you can run Linux on it.
Your mother phoned you to see if you were still alive, and you responded "ping".
You look at your old code and cringe
You got a D in Computer Programming class because you where coding a plasma effect instead of a "Hello World!" program
You read books on quantum physics and time-travel to relax.
When someone asks you your favorite color, you give the RGB code in binary.
No one else can ever use your computer, as it is tweaked so much only you know how to use it.
The first time you use another person's computer it takes you less than 30 seconds to completely disable all useless programs from running at boot and uninstalling all the ad-ware the fools had on the system.

You Know You're Addicted to Internet When...
You Know You're Addicted to Internet When... |
You kiss you girlfriend's home page. Your bookmarks list takes 15 minutes to scroll from top to bottom. Your eyeglasses have a web site burned into them. You find yourself brainstorming for new subjects to Google. You refuse to go to a vacation spot with no electricity and no phone lines. You finally do take that vacation, but only after buying a cellular modem and a laptop. You spend half of the plane trip with your laptop on your lap.... and your kid in the overhead compartment. Your dreams are in HTML. You find yourself typing "com" after every period when using a word processor. You turn your computer off and get this awful epmty feeling, like you just pulled the plug of your loved one. You refer to going to the bathroom as downloading. You start introducing yourself as "Jim at I-I-Net dot net dot au" Your heart races faster and beats irredgularly each time you see a new WWW site address printed on the TV, even though you've never had heart problems before. You step out of the room and realize that your roomates have moved and you don't have any idea when it happened. You turn up the volume read loud when leaving the room so you can hear if anyone IM's you. You wife drapes a blond wig over the monitor to remind you of what she looks like. All of your friends have an @ in their names. Looking at a pageful of someone else's links, you notice that you've been to all of them. Your dog has its own webpage. You believe nothing looks sexier than a man in boxer shorts illuminated by a 17" LCD Flat-Panel Monitor. You check your mail. It says "no new messages." So you check it again. You code your homework in HTML and give your intsructor the URL. You don't know what sex your three of your closeset friends are, because they have nuetral screennames and you never bothered to ask. You name your children Google, Friendster and Blogger You miss more than five meals a week downloading the latest MP3's off Kazaa Lite. You start looking for hot HTML addresses in public restrooms. You wake up at 3 a.m. to go to the bathroom and stop and check your e-mail on the way back. Your virtual girlfriend finds a new sweetheart with a larger bandwidth. You buy a Captain Kirk Chair with a built in keyboard and mouse. Your wife makes a new rule: "The computer can not come to bed" The last hottie you picked up was only a jpeg. You put a pillow case over your laptop so your lover doesn't see it while youre pretending to catch your breath. You ask a plumber how much it would cost you to replace the chair in front of your computer with a toilet. You forget what year it is. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. You ask a doctor to implant a terrabyte in your brain. Your sweetie says communication is important in a marriage...so you buy another computer and network them together so that you can IM each other anytime. As your car crashes through the guardrail on a mountain road, your first instinct is to search for the "back" button. All of your friends have an @ in their names. You start using smileys in your snail mail You bring a bag lunch to the computer. You have withdrawals if you are away from the computer for more than a few hours. You take a speed reading course to keep up with the scrolling. You type faster than you think. You double click your TV remote. You can now type over 70 WPM. You check your e-mail and forget you have real mail. You go into withdrawals during dinner. You rank your friends by the amount of bandwith they have. You have "Googled" all your friends to try to find out anything interesteing that they are not telling you and you can use against them later. You message someone via IM when they are less than 20 feet away. The sound of the keys clicking turns you on. You have more browsers than friends in the real world. You actually say I-M-O and A-T-M to real friends rather than 'in my opinion' and 'at the moment'. And they give you strange looks. You run four chat programs all at once... Yahoo Messenger, ICQ, AIM and MSN You sign off and your screen says you were on for 3 days and 45 minutes. You purchase a vanity car license plate with your screen name on it. You say "he he he he" or "heh heh heh" instead of laughing. You talk on the phone with the same person you are sending an instant message to. You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee. Your teacher or boss recommends a drug test for the blood shot eyes. The letters have come off your keyboard from excessive use. You order pizza online - because you can't be bothered to call. You say "SCROLL UP" when someone asks what it was you said. You look at an annoying person off line and wish that you had your ignore button handy. You enter a room and get greeted by 25 people with {{{hugs}}} and ** kisses**. You're on the phone and say BRB. The last movie you've seen was on your Quicktime player. You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends who are addicted to the internet. |
