TIME IS A PHASE

Today I was having a bad day. My To-Do list wasn't completed, I was indulged in my own thoughts. I was feeling very low (Dopamine Levels shunted)  & that's when my younger brother gave me a visit. This visit of him unexpectedly thought me one of the best lessons of life. I was sharing many feelings about how low I was feeling and how despaired I was. Instead of solacing me it happened he shared a story with me. It goes like this. Once upon a time there was a old man who was broken, lost his family and bankrupt. He was so broken as darkness was gulping him way in. Broken, disheartened he heard about a monk who solve others problem. In a hope with ending of his problems he gave monk a visit. He told the monk about his problems and shared his feeling to make him understand the pain he was going through. The monk gave him a simple solution. The monk asked him to travel a desert as far as he can. Upon listening to the monk he was ready for this arduous journey. Upon leaving the monk gave him two envelopes with a message inside. He asks him to open the first envelope when he becomes very rich and second envelope when he gets exhausted travelling the desert and gives up. The man travelling through hot sunny desert with whooshing hot winds blowing. After several days, when he was out food and water makes his makes his mind to give up. At that moment he remembers the monk words and opens the first envelope which was to be opened when he becomes very rich. The message that envelope carries is "This Time Is A Phase & Will Pass On". Fortunately after reading this message he finds out a huge treasury buried beneath him. In the joy of becoming very rich he forgets about the message. Few Years later when he becomes one of wealthiest persons in the city he remembers about the second envelope and opens it. The message it carried was "This Time Is A Phase & Will Pass On". Today I learnt a lesson which no school, no book would have thought me. The Lesson was no matter whether happiness or sadness all will fade away with time "There is no constant in this Dynamic Universe".

The Null Pointer Nightmare: How a Simple Mistake Can Halt The World

A global IT outage, described as “the largest IT outage in history” by Microsoft Regional Director Troy Hunt, occurred on July 19, 2024, affecting millions of Windows-based systems worldwide. Imagine you’re driving on a highway, and suddenly, your GPS starts pointing to a nonexistent road. You keep driving, and before you know it, you're in a ditch because there was no road where your GPS pointed. Something similar happened with a recent CrowdStrike outage, but instead of a car, it involved lines of code, and instead of a ditch, it resulted in a system crash also called Blue screen of Death (BSOD). Let’s dive into what happened, why it happened, and how we can avoid such nightmares in the future. The Culprit: A Null Pointer In the world of programming, a "pointer" is like a GPS for data. It points to a specific location in the computer’s memory where information is stored. In this case, a CrowdStrike developer wrote a piece of code that created a pointer. This pointer was...

The Controversy is mired with suppositions, facts, false trials but also the kernel of the truth - has reignited the debate on Cyber Warfare. Pegasus is no ultimate form of cyberweapon but it has still awakened the Nations from their sleep and compelled them to ponder on the threat posed by these new-age weapons. Hominoids to Hominids [The Evolution]: One of the first instances of the use of this kind of Cyber weapon was in 1990. It was used by Israel's Intelligence Agency on one of the chief bomb makers of Hamas Abd-al Ayyash. A doctored phone was containing explosives was blown out when he got a call from an unknown  person.  This was a paradigm change in the usage of explosives. Before a lot of efforts were used to breach the area and plan the explosives with much risk and resources utilized. Later usage has mi...

"Our Infected Criminal Justice System"

If one reads a well established textbook of law, he understands the theory behind Criminal Justice System. Generally in India maintaining Criminal Justice System is the responsibility of all the organs of the Constitution, the Parliament which deals with the making of laws, the executive which controls the institutions involved in investigating the crime and last the Judiciary which decides on the culpability of the crime. Now understanding the edifice on which the Criminal Justice System is build upon let's move to the present day trends. Today their is a large question echoing in houses of India about the efficiency and efficacy of it ?  Atom is Disintegrating: Today the history has repeated itself and the era is of majoritarian government. The State through its power of absolute majority controls both the Parliament and the Executive i.e they are one who will make law and control the investigating machinery. Criminal Justice System without punishment is like a Atom without nucle...
