Here are few quotes from the books I read recently. You can find the collection of books I ready here  https://jnsuryaprakash.blogspot.com/2009/03/books-i-read.html .  Lord, protect me from my friends, I can take care of my enemies. Gratitude is a burden, revenge is a pleasure. Dead people receive more flower than the living ones because regret is stronger than gratitude. Never grab a sword by blade, always on the handle side. A wise man profits from enemies better than a fool from his friends. Thomas Alva Edison declined to share Nobel prize with Tesla in 1915, because he don't want Tesla to get recognition. Fools learn from their mistakes, greats learn from others mistakes. Changing the job is more like buying a house rather than buying a dress.

Then during design we don't have time to develop API b...

I took a resolution NOT to be controversial after getting harassed socially few years back because of my views about M.F. Hussain. Since then I tried to stay within boundaries and avoid controversies. More than dozen blog posts I still kept as draft is the witness to that resolution.

From time to time we prioritize and re-adjust to the circumstances of the society. We as society grown from NO voting right to Women, NO voting right to Afro-Americans to a society of equal rights. We are NOT living in the best society every lived on earth, we are in the pursuit...
