What is it?

What is “impossible”?  Does human have any sort of control over his fate? Is there anything like fate? What is it when it is related to other person’s association and behavior to us? Do I have any sort of control over the behaviors even of myself? How would I know that how much I should try to get what I want? The thing seems to me impossible, is it impossible or I just changing my approach towards it and in turn it becomes possible. Am I being a weak person by saying that I have faith in GOD and let the fate decides it for me rather than me fighting hard for it and getting what I want? Or I am lacking faith in my religion and GOD by saying that I should try and I will get it? Is it like just try until your last breath and don’t loose hope for the thing you are striving for? Just think of it like you will get this no matter you get it or not before you die? Getting disassociated with someone you really care about is like being a strong person? Or is it like you don’t care for the association with that person not that much that you end up getting disassociated? Is it always my fault in my sufferings? How is it possible to bring happiness in my life only by myself? Persons are born with positive attitude or they learn to develop one? Is it like being a positive attitude person if you just try a little and give it up? If not then how one can forget about the hardships while trying very hard? Shouldn’t one look for negative perspectives? Have I developed too much of a skepticism? Is it good or bad? Is there any difference between being a stoic and emotionless? Can I calculate all forces acting upon the coin and flip it in the air so that its always the result I want?

Time to get back to home

I have been here in UAE since 12th July 2007 and on 10th October i ll complete three months over here. Now i am preparing to get back to pakistan as my assignment over here at UAE was scheduled to finish in three months and Alhammdullilah it is gonna complete soon.(May be i ll have to come back again for support for some period but for now i dont want to come back). In this period i just kind a put myself in illusion that its long time and i ll have the days to miss my home so i just concentrated on my work and couple of other things ( Includes reading books and blogs and some techi stuff and gym for a month didnt get time in Ramadan and visiting friends in sharjah and going for movies and all awaragardi). But now as i have just confirmed my seat back to pakistan i have just started missing home and my family . And the feelings are too intensive . I am missing everybody at home and specially the person i love da most my mom. 80 days have past like a flash but these ten days are gonna kill me. Well for these ten days i hope i ll be able to play the trick again and get busy with work and some interesting stuff. But at the moment nothing seems to work . But i m very much happy and excited about the couple of sahris and iftaris back at home when i ll be wid my family inshAllah .

“Just”

Lemme put it in this way. When faced with choices about what to do, we commonly feel the tug of contrary impulses drawing us in different directions at once, and the most natural explanation for this phenomenon is to distinguish between distinct elements of our selves. Plato suggested three different elements of human, he said each human has three souls.

•  The rational soul (mind or intellect) is the thinking portion within each of us, which discerns what is real and not merely apparent, judges what is true and what is false, and wisely makes the rational decisions in accordance with which human life is most properly lived.

• The spirited soul (will or volition), on the other hand, is the active portion; its function is to carry out the dictates of reason in practical life, courageously doing whatever the intellect has determined to be best.
• Finally, the appetitive soul (emotion or desire) is the portion of each of us that wants and feels many things, most of which must be deferred in the face of rational pursuits if we are to achieve a salutary degree of self-control.

Plato describes these three basic elements of human being pictorially as the rational soul as charioteer whose vehicle is drawn by two horses, one powerful but unruly (desire) and the other disciplined and obedient (will).

In this way he describes the definition of “just” that holds true with many respects in comparisons to many orthodox definitions of “just” (Which may or may not be limited by the character of human being giving the definition).

So an human being is properly said to be “just” when the three souls perform their proper functions in harmony with each other, working in consonance for the good of the person as a whole.

On the view developed here, true justice is a kind of good health, attainable only through the harmonious cooperative effort of the three souls. In an unjust person, on the other hand, the disparate parts are in perpetual turmoil, merely coexisting with each other in an unhealthy, poorly-functioning, dis-integrated personality.

What if?

I can’t find the rhyme in all my reason
I’ve lost sense of time and all seasons
I feel I’ve been beaten down
By the words of men who have no grounds
I can’t sleep beneath the trees of wisdom
When your axe has cut the roots that feed them
Forked tongues in bitter mouths
Can drive a man to bleed from inside out

What if you did?
What if you lied?
What if I avenge?
What if eye for an eye?

I’ve seen the wicked fruit of your vine
Destroy the man who lacks a strong mind
Human pride sings a vengeful song,
Inspired by the times you’ve been walked on
My stage is shared by many millions
Who lift their hands up high because they feel this
We are one We are strong
The more you hold us down the more we press on

What if you did?
What if you lied?
What if I avenge?
What if eye for an eye?

I know I can’t hold the hate inside my mind
What consumes your thoughts controls your life
So I’ll just ask a question
A lonely, simple question
I’ll just ask one question

What if I?
What if you did?
What if you lied?
What if I avenge?
What if eye for an eye?
What if your words could be judged like a crime?

What if I?

McLaren F1 Team Fined $100 Million: Disqualified From 2007 Season

As i am unable to watch any of the F1 season race(obviously on TV i ll in circuit one day!) here at Abu Dhabi i just browsed the F1 official website to check the last race results. That was interesting since Raikkonen is pulling it back now and getting closer to Fernando and Hamilton. And its even more interesting to see that Fernando is catching up Hamilton. All done i clicked to see constructors championship and i was shocked with my eyes wide open to see that McLaren was scoring zero!!(wat da hack!). I mean last time when i saw the points McLaren was heading towards constructors championship for this year. I thought there must be some system error , but i was going nuts there wasn’t anything like system error. I found out that

It made me grieve. But i became happy to know that drivers championship is still alive (Its here where u can feel the heat!). In constructors championship its GOD damn Ferrari! again (wat da *%#$).

Something about Software Developement

I got the link to this nice article in my email inbox earlier in the morning. The author of the article in general talks about the approach followed in “Fixed-Price IT” projects. But going through the article i found a thing in requirements gathering phase, lemme quote it “you can’t accurately determine up front what people want because they fundamentally don’t know themselves”. This is so true in my case as i am working here at client and implementing SharePoint Server 2007. “People are good at indicating their intent and then once they’re shown something such as a UI prototype or actual working code they can indicate what they don’t like and what might work for them instead“. The solution to this is that we should come up with some UI prototype earlier in requirement gathering fase so that we can evolve iteratively. Further in this article the solution to this and other problems is solved in the context of budget estimation issue.

Helping others and make them happy

Sometimes a thought comes in to mind if i am doing something for other person to make him/her happy that thing in turn makes me happy. So some how its about me again. Even though i am doing the work which is not pleasing to me but when people get benefited by it and become happy that thing make me happy. So after giving it a thought i found out that there are different levels. At first there are people who only think of stabbing others. Then there are people who sometimes feel like to stab some particular person at some particular point of time. Then there are people who if get a thought of doing bad to any person they don’t go for. Then there are people who think of helping others and whenever they get a chance they do it. Then there are people who look for helping others. And at last there are people who live to help others and make others happy. So even though its all about making yourself happy but its about priority too. One who gives priority to help others and make them happy even if he/she has to suffer for it is simply great. And in turn if the person gets happiness by doing this its not because he/she did to make him/herself happy but its a reward which he/she deserves. ( This is about the people who really need help and are in trouble).

I missed one category. There are people who make selective people happy and try to help them even though they don’t even need help .

The moral of story is one should evaluate oneself before getting a thought that he/she is the helper of humanity. Because most of the times its all about doing for own self.

What has made me to write this time

Three to four years back when i came to know about weblog thing i just knew about techi blogs and just started my own and put the things from other techi blogs to mine. It didn’t interest me much. So i didn’t carry on with it. This time i just feel like i want to write. I feel like i write to get my thoughts aligned. And the great thing about weblog is that it is public, much better than private diary. If i ll get lucky and able to attract some readers to my blog then may be by their comments i ll come to know people’s perceptions. I ll be able to evaluate my point of view in light of others. And if even no one gonna comment it ll be like i just write because i think its time to put my thoughts in writing so that i can keep watch on them as they get change day after day. At the end of the day the thing is i just want to write this time not just want to have a blog.
