Views of Pankaj Nikam about life, code and everything else...

I have always followed my instinct and my instinct always followed only one thing in this world, "Passion". When I was a kid, I used to be called as weirdo. Reason was simple, I was always curious about how things work... I have broken numerous electronic devices just to know whats inside them and how they work. I have got scoldings from my parents for doing such things. My father always used to worry about me that I have a destructive mind to break things apart but he never understood the curiosity behind it. He had a point there but I was not able to explain him in proper words. I have broken lets say as many electronic devices as possible. There were very few things in home which were spared by my curious eyes. I always digested the scoldings and insults of friends for doing such things and continued to do it and it really did help me. My curious nature helped me numerous times whenever possible. It helped me to keep myself updated and keep me on the track. When I was ...

Mother Teresa "There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread"said the mother of more than thousands of people, Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu better known as Mother Teresa. The human being has the basic need for love. With love he can live without food or shelter... It just requires the warmth of someone we love to keep us alive. I have seen many cases in which people who are suffering from deadly diseases are alive just because of love. Love is like a magic wand which makes many hard to do things, easy. I believe that to love and to be loved is the most beautiful feeling of all. The best love and ultimate dedication is shown by our parents who brought us in this world to experience life... Imagine a life without them! Its just impossible. But the strange thing about love is that the more you try to hold it tight, it goes away like the sand in hand, the more loosely you hold it, the more you have it. Its really strange as I believe we...

George Bernard Shaw, the great playwright and a Nobel Prize winner quoted that, "Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I am permitted to hold for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations." It really makes me think that the great people always follow the same instinct to pass something good to the next generation. I recall a story where an young and arrogant person blamed an elderly person that  I have mobile phones, rockets, speed, transport with airplanes and talked about how great everything was. He finally asked him what did he have? The elderly person calmly replied, we had passion for innovation and because of that, we invented the things which you are using now. What have you done for your future generations? That's the point which makes me think that we as a citizen of any country have the responsibility for something innovative to make sure that our future generation...

I just read a thought randomly which stated, "Women speak two languages, one of which is verbal." How true. Some people claim that women come from different planets all together some claim that both are from earth but when it comes to my personal opinion, I seriously think that getting yourself to understand this confusion can end up landing nowhere. I have seen women communicating with each other with merely looking at each others eyes. Thats the most interesting thing I ever seen. But it makes me wonder why some women talk a lot? After searching for few resources, I end up concluding that women speak out everything because they need a disposal to all those thoughts. I feel that it will be a great thing to learn such thing. After talking to my friend about this, she told me that, I need to be a girl to understand it. I think she has a point.  My friends usually tell me that you have answers and can find logic behind everything. But when it comes to this non-verbal mean...

Many of the times we forget to appreciate for the things which we have. Rather than appreciating the things we have in hand, we focus towards the things we dont have. Most of the times doing such thing is the ultimate reason to get hurt as we have to leave behind few things before we can move ahead. The thing which is ought to grow, is ought to die. We cannot actually control the things we get and the things which we want. We always get what we deserve and correspondingly, we have to leave behind few things as we cannot have all the things together. The universal cycle of need and fulfilment continues to go complex as the days pass. Before making any thorough research about the things we want, we straightforwardly run after the things which we never needed. The sad fact is that we come to know that we actually did not wanted the thing comes after the tiresome and painful journey towards getting it is completed. Why not think about it before hand and thereby getting the right thing...

The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit... Very true... life! Everyone has different perceptions towards life and this is what makes us distinguish amongst each other. The inner nature is the most striking distinguishing point which makes you unique and stand apart from the world. I have read a thought which states that, "There wont be better you, than you" which is really true. We should believe in ourselves when it comes to life. Nobody else can play our role. Each one of us has to do some or other thing  which can help us to live our lives. The Darwin's theory of survival does an awesome job in stating the importance. But whats a life if we lived it for our sake? I recall a thought which I read somewhere, "What was the last time, you did something for the first time?" The thought motivated me to do something exciting in my fantastic journey of life. And above all, an example to give, if we look at the great ...

Each one of us has experienced this ubiquitous experience of the word, compromise . Some of us take it as if its a part of our daily routine, some of them take it to the heart and rest of the people resist it. Whichever category you are falling in, you have to at least experience that word in some way or the other. Whether it may be the bus you just missed by a minute, whether a second of a race or a millisecond of an eye-blink and the whole picture of this world changed in front of you forever! Its strange that we cannot actually control whats happening. In the last post I mentioned that we have to take things as they come, in other words, this is nothing but compromise. Resisting compromises can be good and healthy if it is worth it. Take an example of the word ethics , I know this is a word which has now became extinct as there are only couple of people left who use this word whenever their conscience reminds them of what they should do. I am aware that only few people do care a...

Great minds have purposes - others have wishes goes the awesome quote by a great insight of Washington Irving... I always believed that the person with purpose is certainly bigger and greater than the person with wishes. Having a wish and having a purpose are two different sides of the same coin. But you need to know the thin line between purpose and wish. There are numerous things in the world for which you can have a wish. But all your life, you might have only few or may be only one purpose. I agree that each one of us have variety of purposes but above all, our purpose of life is to love each other. We were born with a desire to love and our desire never gets quenched. If we love what we do, we are the happiest person on the earth. When it comes to purpose, our ambition runs side by side, hand in hand to help us reach our ultimate goal or purpose and nothing beats our desire to reach the ultimate goal of life. I believe that the one who can fulfill his / her dream can do wonder...

Sometimes in life we have to face the situation as it comes and one can do nothing but just to sit and let and watch it happen. Some of the geniuses stated that we are the creators of our future... but I wont agree to some extent as sometimes in life you have to make compromises. Compromises in friendship, with significant other or with someone close to you - be it anyone. Life gives you challenges and the way you make your choices, determine your actions and ultimately, the destiny. The reaction to the situation is always the important factor and it is the sole condition on which your future is dependent on. Some people say that, "When life gives you lemon, make lemonades" but the thing is that its never that easy to make lemonades with those lemons if we take the practical aspect of it. Life is full of mysteries and never let other people decide what and how to shape your future. Its your life and you need to make constructive decisions which can help you to avoid all the ...

Sometimes in life all you can do is just to watch and observe. I call it my observation period... There are somethings in the world which do not actually require some kind of attention or action... all it needs is simply observation. What we observe is the most important aspect. Few days back I got angry and provoked but instead of blabbering my anger over the other person, I was able to withstand it and check out the facts before I react. The wise saying goes "Dont cry over the spilit milk", and I personally agree with this one. When it comes to actions, we tend to act quickly instead of acting smartly. I am not with the notion to act slow but we should at-least check out the future consequences for that. Not only future but the far future. I am aware that this sounds cheesy but that's the way it is. If you have to get long term benefits, you have to sacrifice the smaller pleasures in life. I believe that its the thoughts, actions and deeds what makes us stand apart from...

They say bad things happen when you least expect them... Day before yesterday happened one of my worst nightmare...My hard Disc gave me Disk IO error!!! I knew this was his last breath. Today is Sunday. I felt very sad but still went to Nehru Place. 99.99% of the Shops were closed. I found luckily one shop open. I got 250GB Hard Disc for 2800 Rs. Lets see what happens...

The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit... Very true... life! What is life ? most of the I have met are living for themselves. They don't want to help others or to donate for others. Lets take an example of Mr.Bill Gates. He is the Worlds Richest Person. I know recently he was defeated. But still as per my concern He is the worlds richest person guess how ??? He is richest when it comes to inner satisfaction. He is satisfied that he has donated a large sum of money. He is the best. Because he understands that how much a simple and humble donation can change someone who is less privileged or under privileged you can say... I will keep submitting more views.

He that falls in love with himself will have no rivals ... its true very true... I have falled in love with myself... ya myself... I have not yet met my soul mate. Where is she, how is she, how does she looks I dont know but as the saying goes its very true. Nobody can steal your love if you fall in love with yourself... Nobody can steal away that love. I wish I could see at least how is my soul mate... does she have a nature like me ? Will she Love me ? Lots of confusions... What is a life without any confusions right ? Lets face it...!!!

I know everybody...(almost) if I havent seen them then also I know each and everybody. And I am angry for the people for whom I am just a person who is there untill and unless they have some or the other work...Offer a thousand chances to your enemy to become your friendNever give a single chance to your friend to become your enemy... I know but I havent done anything like that. I am a kind person I help (and like to) everybody but these people are just ridicule. They act as if they are my friends... In such times I remember the verse of Jagjit Ji that जग ने छीना मुझसे मुझे जो भी लगा प्यारा सब जीता किये मुझसे मै हर पल ही हारा... its true guys and gals... Whatever !!!

Slient lips may avoid many problem but Smiling Lips will solve many problems... Isnt that true? a simple smile can fix many problems we can avoid lots of misunderstanding simply by smiling but as they say every coin has two facees a smile can also misguide anybody for example if somebody smiles when you fall down what will you think I am damn sure that you will feel like killing that person!But but but wait its a simple thing to be learnt that a smile is only the thing which conveys your message even if nobody understands your language...so always have a smile on your cute-cute Face.
