This was something I wrote a long time ago..those early days,when I joined the software industry.
I didn’t know anything.Imagine!A person who thought of being
an archaeologist/art historian..ends up being a software engineer….I am not exactly dumb…but I have trouble being logical…so it took time for me to start using the left side of my brain

Different Drums

“You should stop dreaming so much!”
“Krupa!get practical”
“You think life is a technicolor movie”
“You should stop giggling so much..what will people think?”
