"The Crying Lady."

Once Upon a time their was an old lady who cried all the time. Her elder daughter was married to a noodle vendor while her younger daughter was wife of an umbrella merchant. On Sunny day's she worried for her younger daughter "Oh No, the weather is so nice and sunny, no one will buy any umbrella's! What will happen if the shop is closed ?". These worries mad her sad and she couldn't help herself and cried. When it used to rain she used to cry for her elder daughter "Oh no, My elder daughter is married to noodle vendor and without sun noodles cannot be dried and their will be no noodles to sell. What will she do?" As a result the old lady used be in sorrow everyday and out of grief used to cry all along. Her Neighbour's couldn't console her and jokingly called her "The Crying Lady". 

One day she met a monk. The monk was very curious to know the reason for her sorrow. The Old lady sluggishly and in a very dull tone explained her the problem. The monk listened her problem with very keen. After her explaination the monk smiled kindly and said "Oh Lady, your problem has a very simple solution without any arduious effort's." The Old lady lifted her head up with hope in her eye's. 

The Monk said "Madam, You need not worry, I will guide you through the path of happiness. And there after you need not grieve anymore. On the sunny don't think of your younger daughter not able to sell her umbrella but of elder daughter of selling her Noodles. And on rainy days think of your younger daughter being able to sell Umbrella's bringing prosperity." The Old Lady got the light in the monk word's. She started to do as the monk advised. Soon it turned out that the Old Lady started to be jovial an happy everday with a bright smile on her nice. The Neighbour's too acknowledged this and started calling her "The Smiling Lady".
 
In reality nothing changed except her perspective. In life it happens everytime when we encounter crisis, challenges and difficulties. We start getting inclined  towards the negative side wandering all the consequences which hampers our vision's and be an hindrance to a happy life. We should start finding the opportunites and emphsises on the learning.

Changing our perspectives enable us to see the clear vision of opportunity which lays its path to prosperity and a happy life.

"In the midst o Crisis their lies an great opportunity" - Albert Einstien.

"In Chinese word, Crisis has two characteristics one stands for danger and another for opportunity"   - John F Kennedy.   

I hope you take a leaf from the monk words and walk forwards in this journey of life.

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.

"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...
