On OBAMA’s Call… November 30, 2008

Just One Word on the greatest acheivement by the Human Kind in 21st Century:

 

“America You have made the whole WORLD Proud.” – Avinash Bhojwani

 

- And Yes Sir Obama, We want ‘CHANGE’

The Change that we can inherit to our kids proudly.

The Change with which we can make this world a better place to live and love.

The Change which enables us to say any Extra Terrestrial creature with Arrogance “That I am from Planet Earth.”

The Change where enables every Human Being can live with Hope, Dignity and Independence

The Change which we need curiously to save Human from extinction…..

 

- A message of hope from 21 years old Boy who lives somewhere in this World.

Mumbai Blasts November 27, 2008

The shocking scenes were tearing apart everyone in the world. The 24 hour of terror griped the city where people are said to be most resilient when it comes to any catastrophe. I don’t think there is anyone on earth who is not aware of this unbelievably organized terrorist act. The regretful pictures of actual site ripped the world apart as it is done by someone who is considered as human like me and like you but how come someone can have this much detestation for the very same kind of species.

 

My purpose of coming online at 2 am and doing blogging isn’t only to condemn whatever is being happened in the city where actually gave me very good time for 2 days and said goodbye with very sweet memories of my life but to actually condemn what is being done by Indian Government and its media as they are pinpointing Pakistan for these blasts without any substantial evidences. Dr. Singh’s statement was a circumlocution regarding this blame. After the long time and effort we have come to point where we can think of trusting eachother and it’s always regretful to roll back to the situation where we were 60 years ago. We have to move on by coordinating and cooperating and most importantly by trusting each other.  The strong statements from Indian media are totally unacceptable to any Pakistani living here as it challenges the credibility of their nation and I think Pakistan Government should also take this issue seriously at diplomatic talks as it really hampers the already damaged image of Pakistan in world.

 

This has been India’s second habit to blame Pakistan when anything unacceptable happens and samjhota express blasts (’07) has been recent example of this in which their own army was found to be involved in that.

 

I believe it’s the strong time to unite and to move on with hand to hand. We can’t progress with guns and battles in our bags. And for this we should feel our responsibility first and must not blame each other until and unless we are certain of something.

 

Note: My objective of this blog is not to hurt anyone in anyway. 

Programmers VS Architects November 27, 2008

In this semester, I had two very important courses and most interesting ones as well, Software Engineering and Computer Architects. And with thanks to God, I got very good and capable teachers to learn from.  Computer Architecture was taught by Professor Hasina Khatoon, M.S (Electrical – ‘83) from Stanford University and Software engineering was covered up by Sir Ubaid Aftab, M.S from Monch University Australia.

Coming to purpose behind writing this article is not to admire their teaching capabilities but to share my debating views on lessons which actually I learnt from these courses where on one side is being defended by Software engineers and other side Architects.

We have seen over the period of time that Hardware capability has been increased with exponential powers where as software’s are still lagging behind in utilizing this power, according to Architects. Architects claim that their progress hasn’t been utilized properly and up to the mark; they blame all this on software programmers. But have they ever thought from our point of view (Programmers)? I surmise if they have done so then they shouldn’t have claimed this.

Programmers from their first breath taught to think sequentially and suddenly architects add another processor and they want to us change our Genetic trends. How come you can change this genetics in no time? And most importantly how can you even expect this? Adding parallelism in programming isn’t as easy as adding another processor, folks. Architects have to do one thing at lower level and they think it will be as easy at higher level as well.

Bull Shit..!!!

Coming to software engineers problems, when they sit to design the application, not only they have to think about the system architecture but there are 101 more things to be concerned about i.e. Proper requirements gathering for information system, System Design and then proper implementation according to design.

Thus, I believe there is more burden and responsibilities on software engineer compared to Architects. The difference in the progress shouldn’t be criticized then as Law of diminishing returns applies here as does in Amdahl’s law.

I’ll be glad to continue this discussion if anyone agrees or disagrees with my point of view.
