Am I happy....

2 days back , I was walking briskly to reach home( pg :( ) as soon as possible. It was lightly pouring and these are really nightmares for me. I leave office 15-20 min late, it starts raining and my day gone. cant bear with those muddy roads....walking on road will be like walking in a river. I had never even dreamt that I would shop an umbrella! never in my life till now had used an umbrella!!Only thing that was running on my mind was to reach home before I get drenched.suddenly I could not avoid watching a girl on roadside , sitting on the footpath she was eating corn.her eyes were somewhere else....was she dreaming...without my knowledge I stood there for few seconds.
what came to my mind was a completely diff thing. To be frank,I really didnt feel sympathetic towards her.These days I have no soft corner for beggars.Have heard,seen and read most of their dramas and it has become a "profession"and "business" today.The first thing that came to my mind was "she is so happy"....was I jealous of her for a sec??!I dunno!yes with all the unfortune with her,she was kinda enjoying that moment.how relaxed she is,doesnt think about tomorrow,no responsibilities,no duties,no commitments, does she worry abt the pollution,population and terrorism!no stress,no tension....days pass as she sees.so nice! whatever u do or u dont do,life will be going on....y do v worry so much everyday.think abt every action,worry abt the unseen future,regret for the past days.Life is so easy,if u r a beggar.something to eat-to survive....not very hard to get,and u r done.no worries.every1 will die one day,and for dying someday,how much v struggle the whole life.2 secs felt "she is more happier than me"!me and dad had once discussed on this,and all that came into memory.I continued to walk. Let me put a short story related to this which my dad had told....
Once upon a time, there was a beggar girl in a town.One day the prince of that empire was on his rounds and saw her.She was so beautiful and the prince decided to marry her.But when the girl heard the proposal,she was scared abt the "royal life" and refused.When the prince forced her, she said,"u dunno my background and how I have lived life so far.Beg with me for one week,ur opinion may change after getting to know abt my life. Even then if u r ready to marry me,I will be ok with that". The prince agreed.From next day,both started to beg together,the prince in disguise ofcourse. 1st day....2nd day....3rd....4th....5th....the girl was shocked.She had thought the "prince" would give up the very first day!At the end of the 6th day,she realised how dumb she was.How bad it was on her part to make the future king of the empire to beg in his own land.How blind she was,she could not see the fortune knocking her.she went to the prince...apologised and said "this is enough, lets go to the palace and live happily forever". Guess what the prince said....
" Wait for another 2 hours. I'll finish begging the other 2 streets, taste in those houses will be extremely good and nothing else can compete with the mixture from all houses(of 2-3 days) !"
May be the prince was right! coz many times v eat such bad food inside AC rooms!
Hmmm thats not the point,thats not life....was that a dissappointed look...she will have got that corn as alms...will she be thinking when again she will get something to eat...whatever,I dont know.how v live is important,and all those "known philosophies",yes I completely agree. But one should learn to enjoy life and get satisfied easily. I have seen so many people- never happy,never satisfied,how much ever success they have achieved,how much ever money they have,....they dont know what happiness is....
These days I have started to enjoy every little issue/thing. It feels gr8.A sincere smile,some few mins talk,a melodious song,some humour inbetween, just sit with ur loved ones-parents,siblings,friends for half an hour.I tell U,u'll feel extremely relaxed and happy.what not! it really works.Take life easily!so....Am I happy?? YES, and will be happy forever :)

"SNAPSHOT"

I liked the concept of "snapshots"....which is point in time copy and a read-only copy which can be restored later for read-write purposes. wondering!!??? howcome something technical from my side!hang on u'll come to know....
These snapshots generally, by default are taken at every 1 hour and u can restore whichever snapshot u want and continue from there. So far so good.
I wish someone had taken "snapshots" of our lives,v could go back, correct our mistakes,in a way-really design our lives.so nice na!I want snapshots from my +2 class.Not that I'm not happy for what I am,but I'd love to take life in a completely different direction and see how it goes! if not from +2 ,atleast badly I want the snapshots of 4 years BE! one per year(fair enough!)....I would restore my 3rd year snapshot i.e

snapdrive snap restore -file /mnt/4NI04CS074/shu -snapname NIE:/cs/shubhada:SNAP3

>>file restored successfully .

happy :)...I make all the changes....(1) my semester marks improve(5th and esp 6th)
(2) 2 accidents on my crown are removed
(3) v 3 utilize our time in a better way than worrying too much about others!
and many more .......
shubhada, all this at the cost of 1 extra year....another year with VTU! totally 5 years .... hmmm "u want something u should sacrifice something".....okay, hey wait, if I am restoring one year,Y will I do only that...I would rewind the "life clock" and "life calender" also!ok something nice...carry on....
ok done. now, I dont want to continue, I want my 4th year back....which was so nice!such good marks....nice fun....change in the way of life(with many lessons and realizations)....I try this

snapdrive snap restore -file /mnt/4NI04CS074/shu -snapname NIE:/cs/shubhada:SNAP4

>>Error :command failed: unable to find the snapshot

aaaa????

snapdrive snap restore -file /mnt/4NI04CS074/shu -snapname NIE:/cs/shubhada:SNAP4

>>Error :command failed: unable to find the snapshot

what the hell!?

snapdrive snap restore -file /mnt/4NI04CS074/shu -snapname NIE:/cs/shubhada:SNAP4

>>Error :command failed: unable to find the snapshot

noooooooo....

guys!when u restore a snapshot, all other snapshots taken after that are no more valid....:( This will now mean another year more with VTU. no way acceptable!

see friends I cant even enjoy virtually, this technology puts a constraint then and there! I can conclude "snapdrive" fails on /Life/shubhada

WAIT ! The very purpose of "snapshots" is data protection and recovery right, it happens in life also....snapdrive is installed in every brain....the whole content of snapshot will be etched in memory which stays there permanently. U can restore it time and again and send back, with the only difference----it remains a read-only copy forever!what if I have a brain-haemmorhage .... :) every prob has a solution....this is the time for "disaster recovery"....get back to ur dairies which r equivalent to tapes and disks ;)

Now time to decide....u should either change snapdrive s/w to meet ur requirements or change the attitude towards life. 2nd is better :) :( . past is past....never again can get back those days,and every min spent now is gone forever! with this, get up....got to meet shil,shwe and su take a "snapshot" which remains evergreen for the rest of life :)
