every right handed software engineer uses his right hand more on the keyboard and the mouse .
Now but, my right hand was in a cast since 28th May 06 , i have arranged my work in such a way that i
could work by using my left hand on the keyboard and mouse , i have arranged it in such a way that i have to type less and most of the things i can do by copy+paste ,
yes it is that simple !!! A couple of days were a little arduous when i was making this arrangement , but since then life has become quite easy.

Hmmm... intially for some days working turned out to be practically impossibly for me
because i was psychologically so right handed. Even after i started working with my left hand i had this tendency of lifting with my right hand.

At the beginning , i was confined to bed for three weeks and I was told that for three weeks i would'nt be able to move my right hand and would go throuh hell , and I did. and yes i have typed most of this post with my right hand , and i am too happy about it.

The moment one opens his mouth I know whether one is educated,
competent and successful--or just the opposite ( ot that is how i think). The words one uses and
how well he uses them tips me off instantly.

Studies show that how far you advance in your career, how much money you earn,
and even how successful you are socially are linked to your vocabulary.


Knowing what what a word means and how it is to be used correctly a lot of power and prestige.
Moreover, when you know the meaning of a word, you never have to feel left out or stupid
if someone else uses it in a conversation.

I remember a day in office when my boss said me that " Hey , when did u sneak in?" .
Well actually then i did not know what sneaking meant, but i answered
him "Yes , i did walk into the office very silently " guessing thats what he meant by
sneaking as per the circumstances then. But bro!! the next thing i did was use
the clause "define: sneak" in google search and to see what he meant and found
that i did not make stupid of myself in front of my boss.

Just so that you know, I do not believe in heroes. During the course of my life, given my well known ambitions,
I have often been asked (or in some cases told):

"Oh, you must really look up to xxxxx, right?"

The answer to this question and to other similar ones is a resounding "NO!"
In fact, I dismiss the entire concept of a "hero."

he-ro n. - In mythology and legend, a man, often of divine ancestry, who is endowed with great
courage and strength, celebrated for his bold exploits, and favored by the gods.
The reason I try not to admire anyone is because deep down inside I believe that all human beings
are fundamentally flawed and will never live up to your expectations for them (especially if you are
foolish enough to choose a hero who is a sports star or some other type of celebrity). I have preferred
instead to believe in myself as a sort of anti-hero because I know that I will never let myself down and
if I do then I can curse myself all I want. This doesn't mean that I possess delusions of grandeur but
rather that I believe in living an honest life and trying to set a good example by my actions.


wasn't always this cynical. Years ago someone that I admired greatly let me down and sent me on my path toward anti-herodom.
