Me a Straight-edge: Reason!

I don't drink alcohol or do drugs or smoke. There is a unique reason for me being a straight-edge. When ever I say this reason, most of them said its stupid and kiddish. I really don't care, coz that's the truth and I am proud of saying it. 

When ones a kid every one advices him to be a straight-edge. My parents and most of the elder during my younger days used to advice me not to drink alcohol or smoke. They used to say 'Don't do this coz its bad for health'. Well it might have been the same for most of us. I had a teacher in my 5th grade, her name was Menezes. She did not advice us saying not to do this and that coz its bad. She was a different one, she said 'Please do not smoke or drink, FOR ME'. I was really moved by her words. Its not because of my parents' advice or my elder's words,  I am a straight-edge just for my ma'am Menezes. Thank you ma'am.

Back to the Childhood..

Image
At this age of 27, I am currently living my childhood again. I ain't no time traveler, so this is no story about Space-time continuum or any stuff like that. I have this experience of living my childhood again when I play with my niece. My niece is one little being who gets happy for even a small thing, and get angry for no reason at all. My home becomes more festive when she comes. My parents will be running behind to catch her. She walks everywhere; be it on the floor, be it on chocolate, be it on a ball, be it on a keyboard; she just doesn't care. Walking makes her happy and she just walks. When given a paper, or a tissue or anything tear-able; she just tears. Scribbling is one of the most fun things that she does. And she scribbles on many things. I have a few of my walls in my room decorated by her. And that is one of the very few stuffs that makes my room look more lively. Its fun when you watch these kinda cute little things, but you would enjoy it more when you are b

Developer Vs Tester - Part II

Image
This is a reply to one of the blogs that I follow. Check the post in this link . Here I would be sharing my experience on this topic. For all you testers out there, no hard feelings.. :)  It so much true that almost everywhere developers consider testers as the troublemakers. Guess why? coz they really are. They think they know shit about our code. First of all no one like to hear faults in their own baby. And they think that the quality of our code is because of them. Well it might be true, but they should realize that they did no ass whooping work in actually writing it. The so called testers consider themselves as the Gods of all the application, they even think that the application is better known to them that the customer himself. All the technical difficulties that we actually went through while coding is not at all known to them, still calling themselves GOD! I have no words. Next complain from the self-proclaimed Gods are that the developers didn't do any kinda unit

My first 500 KM..

Image
Two months ago, I actually didn't know how to ride a bike. The last time I rode a cycle was back in 2009 and then some 6 months ago I tried bike riding in my cousin's bike; but never rode fully. I had booked my bike some 6 months back and since the waiting period was 8 months, I had planned everything at the end of the waiting period. Then all of a sudden I got a call from them saying the bike is ready to pick up. It wasn't just a sweet surprise, but I was worried since I had no idea about how to ride. And one friday, it finally came. My cousin brought the bike to my home, as I still didn't know how to ride it. Started as a rookie, now I consider myself as an intermediate rider. I have had my highs and lows in the first 500 KM itself. Practiced on the bike for the first week and built my confidence. Once that was done, it was time to take it on a long drive. As my Royal Enfield Thunderbird is build mainly for long drives, I wanted to try it out on a high ways. Pus
