Let us C

As I remember and many of the Software Engineers in India do .... we all started seeing C first. A book by Nagpurian viz. 'Yashwant Kanetkar' has given a lot many of us to step into the Indian IT industry. As far as my personal opinion goes the book is greatly inadequate( I realized this after I went to a job interview after revising that book). Nevertheless it still has an important place in our memories as our journey as a software engineer began from this book. It is not the Bhagwad Geeta or the Bible for us programmers but it tried its best and failed to give us a glimpse of what the programming world would look like. "Seeing is believing", but "Let us Cing is fooling ur self". I am not critisizing the book.. but after reading it and apprised about its inadeqaucies while in an interview, I only wish that it were a book that would be complete. May be I am a wishful thinker but I would love to see something better coming out of that book franchise.
Anyways I was talking about the journey, a journey that began 5 years back, a journey that transformed my life and life of many other like me. A journey that should have been green with Trees, long with lists and tall with stacks. But instead it took a turn and went into deep realms of a 'Synthetic World'. A World torn apart by raging battles between 'Knights' and 'Trebs', 'Rockets' and 'Rails', 'Snipers' and 'Shotguns' and last but not the least 'Terrorists' and 'Counter-Terrorists'. I didn't ask for this alter ego. The temptation did not take me by surprise like the others. I was introduced to this synthetic world even before I embarked upon this journey. But soon I realised that I had crossed the point of no return.
I was always a talker in school a.k.a. 'chatter-box'. Probably this quality(a trait rather, in which i take pride) saved my skin on several occasions. Especially when it came to securing grades in practicals and examination. My pr (personal relations) with many of the professors and the Lab-Assistants were the sole reason that I would be given the benefit of doubt(there were occasion when this ploy backfired on me), which would mean that i would secure an easy B+. No pain all gain. But then I always like many other software engineers like me say, "I don't study for marks, I study for knowledge." . A really pure thought when taken in literal sense. But again knowledge can wait. There were better things to do in life.
Now since I am in a job now, I have to give time to my "work". So I will continue the log of this journey tomorrow. Sayonara for now.
