Good Morrrninnnggggg Mumbai

शहर की इस दौङ मे दौङ के करना क्या है?

जब यही जीना है दोस्तो तो फिर मरना क्या है?


पहली बरिश मे ट्रैन लेट होने की फ़िक्र है

भूल गये भीग्ते हुए टहलना क्या है?


सीरिअल्स् के किरदारो का सारा हाल है मालूम

पर मा का हाल पुछ्ने की फ़ुर्सत कहा है?


अब रेत पे नन्गे पाव टहल्ते क्यू नही?

108 है चैनल फिर दिल बहल्ते क्यू नही?



इन्टरनेट से दुनिया के तो टच् मे है,

लेकिन पङोस मे कौन रहता है जान्ते तक नही.



मोबाइल, ळैन्डलाईन सब की भरमार है,

ळेकिन जिगरी दोस्त तक पहुचे ऐसी तार कहा है?



कब डुबते हुए सुरज को देखा था, याद् है?

कब जाना था शाम का गुज़रना क्या है?



तो दोस्तो शहर की इस दौड् मे दौड् के करना क्या है

जब यही जीना है तो फिर् मरना क्या

Success in life is a matter not so much of talent and opportunity as of concentration and perseverance.

Knuth's first encounter ...

In 1956, Knuth had his first encounter with a computer, an IBM 650 --- a pre-FORTRAN machine. He stayed up all night reading the manual and taught himself basic programming.

"The manuals we got from IBM would show examples of programs and I knew I could do a heck of a lot better than that. So I thought I might have some talent."

- From the book "Out of their Minds: TheLives and Discoveries of 15 Great Computer Scientists" by Dennis Shasha and Cathy Lazere.

Types of geniuses

"There are two kinds of geniuses: the 'ordinary' and the 'magicians'. An ordinary genius is a fellow whom you and I would be just as good as, if we were only many times better. There is no mystery as to how his mind works. Once we understand what they've done, we feel certain that we, too, could have done it. It is different with the magicians. Even after we understand what they have done it is completely dark. Richard Feynman is a magician of the highest calibre."

- Mark Kac
