In Dependence Day

Dawn of a vibrant senior citizen

Scandals, daily a dirty-dozen

Corruption, an expanse of an ocean

Crime, a minute to minute occasion

Government, a fusion of confusion

Life, a daily routine of commotion

--------------------------------------------
Dependence: Dependence on various political parties and unworthy
personalities, International Financial Agencies and Super powers

Fusion : Chaotic combination of non coherent political parties.

Jai Hind, anyway

Carefree software development

As the software industry evolved (and continues to), it has devised several processes to formalize the software development life cycle. Some popular methodologies meticulously define every step to be followed in the software development lifecycle, failing which, the resulting output is non process compliant and is supposed to be of lesser quality. Clearly, (IMHO) it is an overhead. Of course, there are bigot organizations who invest huge amounts of time, energy and money on this. On the other hand, there are those who are blithely banging away their keyboards and 'puking' code, day-in and day-out. Do not be surprised, if some of the big brands are working this way, full time. This is what I call "Carefree Software Development". So here are a couple of contrived examples, but nevertheless they are close to real-life.

Heartfelt blasphemy

A senior Central Minister said yesterday that anybody who does not feel compassionate towards Sanjay Dutt should check up with a cardiologist to find out if he has a heart. This prompts me to suggest to this hearty Minister to order the Sonia Gandhi installed President of the Republic of India to promulgate an Ordinance to make it compulsory for every citizen to check up with her or his nearest cardiologist for this great national purpose.

My sincere suggestion to the Minister that he/she should aim to become the Chief Justice, so that every jailbird shall breathe easy, every criminal shall not have to worry for any hideouts, but the only problem is, where will the conscientious citizens go? May be they need to undergo some sort of "rehabilitation" (pun intended) so that they too will start feeling for every such law-abiding [read avoiding] individual!!
