Greed: Sickest of the seven...


Yes I am slave of the seven deadly sins, but Greed is the one I am most scared of.

Excess is the main thing in most of the seven. And greed is basically the sickest of them all. Greed is nothing but wanting to have more, but it is rather generalized as very excessive or rapacious desire and pursuit of wealth, status, and power. I think "Greedy can even make the dead, needy".

I started studying back again, tried the MS thing. I was greedy and was envy; that was the only reason I started off. Even my Mom wanted me to have a double degree (Greed again). I knew that studying is not my cup of cake, knowing this I jumped into it; all because of the greed. Now I realized I couldn't do it and here I am with a huge monetary loss. I have myself witnessed more and more people being consumer by greed. A person that I know wanted to live free spirited but then changed into a workaholic just because of greed. Also I have seen a friend of mine just toying with many job offers that he had and that too because of greed. Sitting late night just to watch movies and destroying my health is because I am greedy of watching more and more movies. Coz at a later stage I wanna be proud of that number.

Now relating this Greed with other sins. Greed is generalized as the need to posses more money. But when you actually look at it as the need to posses more of any kinda thing. All the sins comes from only one source greed. Lust and Gluttony is directly a sin of excess. Envy is because of others possessing more than what you have; thus you are actually greedy. Pride comes when you have more than others; how to gain more than other without greed. Wrath and Sloth are the two which are related to greed from very far off. One way of getting angry is because you cant use ur ability and how do u know you are incapable? Is by comparing; now greed again. Sloth is way far off related. But on the whole Greed dominates these seven sins and is the worst one of all or I would like to call it the origin of all the sins.

Greed is like semi-demon. It is the reason for a person to live. A person who cant be greedy, cant live. Greed has a good face, a face so pure that it is like an angel to everyone's life. Later it grows into a evil demon which cant be controlled and will sometimes become a death wish. Most of us are the salves of this greed, but hate to accept it. No matter how far one runs away the world, only thing that goes with that person till the grave is GREED.

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
