One of the most discussed topic of debates nowadays “What is important career or passion?” but nobody has the clear thing to say about it. I am eventually in the same breed fighting for passion, as well as career both. The passion that exists in the problem-solving, creativity, development, arts and theatre while career that exists in engineering, doctor, lawyer, businessman, CA and other professions. Most of the people fight between their activeness of left and right mind. One kind of people is those who have a mind of art and other having a mind of science.

I had seen people opting for sciences interested in arts and vice-versa but do it really because of career? I don’t think so. It’s the money behind these big professions and respect that society pays to these well-established careers. I have not seen many poets, writers or entrepreneurs getting success in 20’s but seen many techies and doctors living their life peacefully.

The passion is all about following dreams until one don’t get it. The career is following clients until one don’t stop paying. The passion needs struggle, rejections, hunger, frustrations before getting enough name and fame while career is all about money, respect, peace but without any name and fame.

I have seen people working hard day and night to please their bosses but still their scream don’t cross the walls of their buildings. I have also seen people working hard for themselves and world but still their pocket doesn’t earn a penny for a long time.

I can compare passion to those buildings that were not build in a single night but had taken a long time to become a structure and even more long time in denting and painting. The structure that got its fame slowly and with the time becomes the hit of all time.

I can compare career to a new developed building that attracts thousand of people suddenly and remains the attraction for quite long time but with time it fades its value and also went in the list which people mostly forget in long time.

One cannot compare career and passion. Both have different tastes. If it needs a lion heart to follow passion it also needs tiger heart to follow a career. I am amazed to see the things that happen exactly opposite what we were thinking in our dream days before going into it. Everything that we are into seems like a worst job and everything that what we wanted to get enter into seems the best until one day we enter into it.

“Life is very crazy ride it will teach everything and learning from is the only way to lead happy life”

Armaan delighted after confirming his tickets to Almaland. He always wanted to go there with Asma (his beautiful wife) from last five years but due to one or other reasons, every time he has to cancel his plans. He rushed towards Asma to show the tickets that he collected after such a long time to complete their dreams. Asma unknown from the fact was kept on busy in her own work.

Armaan whispered in her ears after getting close to her - “Asma here is a surprise for you”.

Asma replied in an innocent tone - what?

Armaan- Guess, from last five years you always wanted to see the place that you like the most. You always wanted to live the dreams of roaming the mountains in chilled winters. You always told me to see the silent sea from the far distance of a beach. You were talking about riding the boat in the midst of the ocean. You wanted to keep on running around the coast. You wanted to glare the beauty of the mountains. What you were telling about those fairy tales of large White Mountains from the years all you is going to experience it soon.

Suddenly the eyes of Asma changed from dull background to sparkling beauty.

She screamed with her full power – Armaan!!  Are we going to Almaland?

Armaan – Yes just pack your bags for the months. We are going away to a silent place far from this hustle and bustle of the city.

Almaland

A place that is unreachable for a common man. No direct flights to the place. An island in the midst of the ocean with all around sparkling natural Forests and Mountains, in the winter it seems like some lady is standing in a white clothes in the ocean and experiencing the climate of earth. The place full of diamond, gold, uranium mines and reservoirs The place is governed by the power combination of seven countries and is a tourist attraction for most highly rated celebrities. The people who ever able to reach there is from their own choppers.

Armaan saved a plenty amount of money by working day and night just to see this place at least once in life. He wanted to fulfill the dream of his wife by travelling around every corner of it. Asma too wanted to be here as since from childhood she was amazed by the beauty and peace of this place. She has listened a lot of fairy tales about it. The place was more known for Prince and princess but here they are right in the middle of their dreams.

While Asma was adding entries in the to do list, Armaan was implementing everything in reality until one day when they listened about the blast in near hotel. It is the first ever attack on this Almaland and nobody knows who did it. All the seven countries started to increase the security of an island. Entry and exit were restricted for 15 days. Nobody can roam in and around it. Everybody was locked inside the hotels until a case is not solved about the attackers.

Armaan and Asma never imagined that this thing is going to happen here and they are praying for everything been normal. The next day another blast was observed in another hotel. Everybody got shocked after listening the death of a prince from Almaland. It was not the attack but the series of attacks that just started to take its mines and reservoirs by those seven countries.

Everybody wants to leave the island as soon as possible but it is not so easy to do it. The death of a prince results in a heavy tension on the island. Next day when authorities are planning to send tourists back to their countries and increase the level of security, everybody saw a huge presentation of drones in the sky of Almaland, all ready to attack on the island.

Asma and Armaan were confused about their status to reach home. The place which seems to be the best peaceful place on earth and unreachable to the other countries is burning in fire. Armaan was seeing a large number of drones in the sky that are controlled from some other place. The drones that do not have any emotions associated with them working for what they are designed. The drones that started bombing and firing on the island having some 20000 people in which most of the celebrities among them. Soon the best architecture that carries thousands of years of glory is being destroyed by drones in front of everyone. A place known for peace having no weapons to fight, a place that is governed by seven countries is hoping that any country can come and save them, but they are fighting with each other about controlling powers among them. Nobody was ready to send their troops to save this beautiful island and its people.

One shot was peeped inside the head of Asma and gosh. She is dead. Armaan taking her in his arm could not believe on what just happened. He still is trying to talk with her. Asma open your eyes, you cannot go like this, I took you here for completing your dreams not for sending you to dreams. Asma open the eyes, but Asma was dead. Armaan moved his head towards his surrounding all could he see was burning of forests, White Mountains turned into black. Hotels are now just a piece of garbage’s. Everywhere dead bodies spread around him. He couldn’t able to see anything other than the black smoke reaching towards the sky. The beaches those were famous for its beauty now looking like some painting with no attraction.

Armaan was cursing the day when he decided to come here , Asma was in his arm looking like some sleeping child who will suddenly woke up to smile . Armaan was shocked about the incident that happened in just two hour. Armaan could think anything more before that another attack from drone took his life.

The drones that are controlled from some remote locations are killing everybody on that island by sensing their bodies it is not a plane that is controlled by some ho can make a mistake but are designed by the man for destruction purpose. Within an hour, Whole Island was converted into the graveyard.

The world is killing each other just for materialistic things. Just be above to them there are more reasons to fight. Fight for poverty, Fight for Food and water, Fight for education, Fight for human rights, Fight for children dreams why everybody is fighting for diamond and gold? Countries are developing bombs and drones better use the budget in feeding people and giving education. Thousands of people like Armaan and Asma die everyday. Nobody has record for that.

The concept of “DIGITAL INDIA” may be new for many people so before going into depth let us take this definition from Wikipedia what it says about digital India.

What is Digital India?

Digital India is an initiative of Government of India to integrate the government departments and the people of India. It aims at ensuring the government services are made available to citizens electronically by reducing paperwork. The initiative also includes plan to connect rural areas with internet networks. Digital India has three core components. These include the creation of digital infrastructure, delivering services digitally and digital literacy.

So the concept mainly depends on three main pillars of digital infrastructure, delivering services digitally and digital literacy, building one by one can be the successful reason for accelerating vision of digital India.

By following from these last steps I had discussed Indian vision of “Digital India“ will not only be success but it will change the future of the whole country. In this article I presented most of the points related to rural India as still 70% population still lives in rural areas so empowering them means empowering nation. Smart cities can be developed but in my point of view with each smart city a small village should also develop.

To transform the country and accelerating “Digital India” vision, many of the private big companies are working hand to hand. I thank them all for making it on the large scale. I as an Indian citizen will be happy to see -

I thank INTEL (http://www.intel.in/ ) for supporting #DigitalIndia Vision .

I was at the age of 12 wanted to achieve big, something that nobody even imagine for getting from my village. Even today when I see myself comparing to that age I do not find anywhere close to that desire. The boy who wants to dream big for which he even wants to leave his hometown, family, relatives and all the comfort zones just to get education in an English medium school is more eager to get his dreams than a well settled IT engineer cum writer here.

I remember the hot summer June of my class 8^th exams, when one thing astonished me, it was the notice that from 9^th onwards our medium of study is going to be Hindi (U.P.Board). The moment was like some attack for me. I was studying in the best school in the town and in that too if I can’t afford English medium learning then where is my future? I knew clearly that if it is not now then I can never be able to achieve my dreams.

I was silent for few days and then one day I told my parents about my aspirations, my parents as always of supportive nature supported my decision and helped me to get admission in the top school of the district. At that time may be many of parents can take their hands back because of hefty tuition and hostel fees of the school but my parents not even helped but travelled with me step by step in every test, interviews and all possible destinations. The decision was bold to take and that’s why it became the turning point of my life.

I felt very bad in the first few days and nights away from home and family, living  in between some unknown person  in an unknown place so called Hostel. For the first few months I was not able to sleep properly, sometimes in a loneliness I wanted to weep but as I see my dreams I knew that it is the only path to achieve it, if I cannot manage this right now I will not be able to do it anytime in future . I worked hard in those years. I got some best teachers and friends in the journey. Friends who left their home to travel the self-made path of their dreams like me, teachers who teach me how to survive in odd situations, how to fight to earn the dreams. Each lesson was the miracle for me that changed me completely.

This was the turning decision that changed my perspective towards life; it was the decision because of which I am writing a blog here. Whether getting meritorious position in math’s Olympiad or getting attention because of my debates skills everywhere this decision played a great role. I can never imagine myself to be here if I had not taken that decision.

The decision that took me with itself from cities to cities as well as from people to people giving me more experience, chaos, craziness, adventures and amazing lifestyles. Whenever I see back I see this decision that changed my destination.

Dear juniors,

I hope you are enjoying best days of life in the last phase of college. Some of you might already get placed in some reputed companies while some of you are still trying to get into one among them. Most of you already covered a large part of the tourist destinations from the country across four years of engineering and if not maybe you are planning to cover it soon. If you have already broke up with your crush then congrats and if not be ready to face the depression season coming soon. I know your first priority were always remain to do lot of crazy things and get a decent job in MNC to show your parents and teachers that you were not just a crap but from inside you want to do something else.

I hope you are talented enough to do a lot of codes in your life as you had not done much in your engineering. The term “Computer Science & Engineering” is not a joke and you can’t take it though but in the last few years actually you were playing around it as a joke only. So the day is coming soon when you will become from something XYZ to Er. XYZ. I know most of you want to choose IT field because of its attraction, working style and money power you can earn or maybe you have no choice to opt anything other than it.

So I want to tell you some key things about life that you are going to face while working in IT fields.

1)Data Structures – They troubled you more than anything in your life and were like a nightmare when you were reading it as a subject but these are the only basic things from which you can earn a lot of things in IT field . So if you don’t know anything about it just start working on it. At least some basic operations regarding linked lists, trees, stacks, queues, STL so that you can do well in Algorithms.

2) Operating systems-  Maybe you have passed this subject just by reading and understanding the concepts of the syllabus but your journey is not going to over until you don’t know how actually memory works while doing programming. If you know the data structures you should know about the memory working and complexity of each algorithm.

3) Algorithms – Maybe these were the codes of few lines for you in books but in the real world these are the only thing that matters most. If you don’t know how to develop algorithms your life in the IT sector is not going to be on heights. You should be capable of playing with math’s and data structures to develop it.

4) Hard work -  Maybe you have not seen the environment of working continuously for 16-18 hours in colleges but as soon as you will be reaching in the IT world this will become the habit. Knowledge sharing is the least process anybody is doing so you have to learn everything by your own.If you are good at basics no problem for you else be ready to do hard work.

5) Trips / Friends / Parties / Outings – These are the parallel things that will go side by side with all above points. You will realize the true things about life if you have managed to learn all of  the four skills. The days are going to be the best days more than the crazy things what you had done in colleges. The IT sector will give you weekends to enjoy like you never before.

6) CAT/GATE- Preparation never ends and thus soon you will be seeing that the same person who never wants to study anything after engineering got into hard preparation of CAT/GATE. In IT sector, more than 60% of people involved in such kind of activities so plan your career on the first day itself.

These six points may horror you at  the certain extent but as you know all these depicts to get a person on the heights in the IT sector. If you know real engineering then you can also develop products like facebook, WhatsApp, Apple, Microsoft and instagram.

So welcome in the field where learning never stops .To save your seat you have to learn faster than anybody else saving his/her seats.

All the best

Regards,

A person who has not received any letter like this

Door kept on knocking again and again. Armaan in his flat wishing that somebody stop the guy who is knocking the door otherwise he will shoot him right in front of his head. He is in no mood to talk with anybody now. Few hours back he got the news of losing everything he ever loved and now this guy is irritating him.

Armaan was working in a project that is going to launch image transferring devices by that anybody anywhere can transfer their images to feel the location in real but project turn out to a bigger fail. He invested years in it and now it is not working so a big zero for him. Investors want their money back, cofounders already went away towards something else, he was dreaming about the project success more than anything he dreamt in life. He is feeling silence in his mind while smoking continuously on his chair. He is thinking about various plans which he can always take to become fame but no he had chosen his dreams.

 He was remembering the day when he stepped inside this city as a beginner and in his right front, world changed as never before. He was the reason behind air riding bikes, jet courier services, and instant food anytime anywhere by changing the molecular behavior of raw food, he was the person who replaced heat with bio molecular disturbance technique to cook the food but he failed in this project. He can become the next Einstein, Edison or jobs of 21St century but his whole investment got into waste. He is just thinking why his project failed , why a person is still using images and videos for entertainment , why he just don’t go right inside the environment like he is always there , like he is a part of it. He was trying to replace arrow keys of a laptop to real signal from mind. He had seen the change how real buttons transformed into touch and now he wants to transform that touch into real. He was thinking why people still need a material to view things why person cannot directly go anywhere anytime by using air medium. He was trying to transfer body molecules at the speed of light but he failed. May be his imaginations are still weak or he didn’t had the right guy to do the activity but he still waiting with lot of thoughts in his mind. How he can be the reason for his change.

He is looking like a person who didn’t sleep from years and he doesn’t know that sleeping exists in this world. He can always be seen sitting in front of his workstation doing programming from signal of mind, he is never worried about how system works but he always worried about how system has to work. He is he one kind of a guy who creates a new world. People don’t like them and they do not have the time for people. They come once in a year in front of audience and audience goes mad by just listening their voices. They are the one who know how imagination should turn out in to reality. They fail and fail again, thousands of time and nobody cares about them. They work for 20-25 years and one care cares about them but once they come up with series of products one by one everyone becomes mad to be like them. People see only present and want to get it but nobody cares past.

He forgets again what had just happen and again started working on a project for another 10 or maybe 20 years to make better life for others by sacrificing his own.
