Proud to be......... of What???

We are very much accustomed to be Proud of every thing that looks good. No, matter what is its reality. We are very Proud to be UN-innovative IT power of India. We are Proud to be cheap labor of IT industry. We are Proud to be best IT service sector (Slang-Mechanic) of the world. AND most of all Proud to be still dependent on US for every thing ( software, Hardware, technology & list will go on...........!!!). “Very Proudly speaks, US market is slowdown... So, there is tight situation Indian IT market or Indian IT market is going through a low phase & rough phase. But we will definitely overcome of this situation as US recession will not stay for so long.” These expert comments are given by top IT specialist, & analysts with Pride.... many discussions done and still going on that how to keep our Pride. We are Proud to see that big players of IT mechanic sector like INFOSYS, Wipro & many more are having extraordinary & mind blowing turnovers of more than 10 thousand crores of rupees. But still these big giants Proudly shy away from investing few drops from their huge sea of capital into Research & development (R&D). I agree, every body is here to make money. But still why they can't t invest a single penny to develop there own product and become independent? It may be a time taking process and end result will be always be profitable. But who cares for the future. Money hai toh, Honey hai! We are Proud to be IT Service mechanic of the World. No matter, we don't have any Big product based companies like Microsoft, Google & Apple. But still we are Proud of using there product.
We Proudly say that we are ahead of China in IT Mechanic sector (the only field which we can proudly say we are ahead of them) but, but........
I wonder, the day China Learns English.... WHAT will be the scenario............................
Proudly think about this, Mr/Ms. Analysts of Information Technology of India!!!!!
BUT Whatever,
PROUD TO BE INDIAN!!!

Kernel Programming Class

Today was my first Linux kernel Programming Class. Today was the briefing session that what is going to be taught, What we have to be prepared in advance for the course.
After the class, I was pretty much happy that at last I'll have hands on kernel programming. As I had tried to go through the Linux kernel code but I struggled a lot to keep with pace to understand such a well structured and heavy modular programming. Even using CTAGS for reading kernel code does not make any difference. But now, I am pretty much confident that One day ( Not To far from now) I'll achieve my GOAL.
Well, You guys might be wondering, what is my goal. I'll Tell you one short story.
This is the story eight to nines years back. One day I was sitting with my Dad. I heard some news that India is emerging as IT Power in the world. I was very excited as this is my field of my interest and I started using Computer ( I was in Sweden with my Dad) when India had PC only at high level facilities like research centres like that. In India, I bought 486 Model PC.
Ok. Pardon me. Let's Move back to the story I was telling you. That was just my introduction part of my experiences with computers.

I was telling Dad that India is IT power etc. My Dad did'nt reacted much on this. But after my continuous praise He interrupted me,
he told "If India is IT power, We have Finest & best Computer professionals in the World, Then Why We don't have our Own Operating System??? Why Don't we have any big product based company? Why we are dependent on Microsoft and tolerating its monopoly? If they raise the price, we have to bear it, if they don't supply anything, we starved with the technology.WHY???"

This "WHY" Really stunned me. It was really very surprising to hear his so intense views on this. He is a great scientist & professor in his field Mining Engineering. All he told that time is proved to be true. Even, One of my Life's idol and great & legend scientist, former president of India Mr. Abdul kalam jee also pointed out the same concern that India should have its own operating system.
So, From that day, It become my one of the Goal & ambition in my life to Develop one Operating system which will outrun Microsoft OS. And this kernel programming class is a small step towards my Goal.
I am Great fan of Mr. Steve Jobs. He is also my Idol. I like to follow the footsteps of Steve Jobs but like to be "Ankit Singh". I have the passion to change the world.
I always Believe that " Failure is the First Step Towards Success ". I have the right to say this as I failed many countless times & seen many setbacks in this short span of life but I fight back, as Failure gives you the opportunity to recognize yours potential. Right now, I am enjoying my time with my first job and preparing for the big thing.
Now Off To Bed!
Have a nice Day/Night

So, gradually I become more interested that what is this stuff all about. As truly Speaking, I never attracted to it & hate reading blogs. But Now times has changed. I am working in a company named "Hover Technologies" as a Software developer where the company's product is for the Bloggers, Web Publishers and for web advetisers.
So, Now I guess why have to turn be a blogger. Let's c how much it will work for me and how frequent I'll be in blogging. I like to share many things to the world but it will take time as I dont know how to start. Ok! Guys.
Have A nice Day/Night. Off to Bed!
