The blog entry is about the F word.
What the fuck? You don't know what the F word is. Sigh!!!
Mea Culpa! Not your fault. It is quite offensive, no? More offensive than BC, MC, BsdK, LkB ?These are some of the usual terms used in our local derived languages in all its locally derived richness.
The word Fuck, many times, either from people with authority (HR) or the receiver, is termed and reacted to as a very offensive term. Usage of the word fuck is kind of blasphemy. In organizations, its usage can lead to harassments (to all those ultra fuckin' dumbs) and terminations. Sigh!!
Well! Yuck! to all those, who think that way.
Fuck is the most neutral word to express all kinds of feelings, be it anger, agression, disappointment, love, sex, celebration or anything else you can think of.
- Fuck you man
- I'm gonna fuckin' kill you.
- Fuck! It is painful.
- It was fuckin' amazing
- Let's fuck
See. How offensive it is. Now let's localize it with its equivalents.
- BC, Saala
- BC/MC, I'll kill you
- BC/MC, it is painful
- G phat gayi. It is so painful
- MC. Maza aa gaya
See. How nice it is. Not offensive at all. One can always argue that those words are not required to be used in the local languages, rather it is offensive terms not preferred. But be honest and ask yourself if you haven't used them when expressing yourself.
So when someone uses the F word, there isn't really a good reason to make those fucked up faces and feel offensive. The person is just making use of the best expressive neutral word to express himself.
At least, this way, while expressing himself, he still is sparing families and friends. So go ahead and make use of this wonderful F word and educate people on its endless possible usage. Or else if you still don't get it, I got 2 words: Fuck You.

World Class Company - Third Class Ethics
Well!! After almost around 3 months after my exit from my previous employer (Dell R&D Center, Bangalore - India), I've now had some time to rant about the experiences I had.
Hereforth, unless explicitly mentioned, When Dell is quoted, I mean as Dell R&D Center, Bangalore - India, and not any other Dell facility because it is not fair for me to comment about the other centers since I've not worked there.
I worked for Dell's Linux Engineering Team for around 21 months. Dell being my debut Multi National Company, it was great and exciting to work.
- Dell is a great and renowned brand.
- It's a huge company with a huge userbase.
- And on top of all, it is a very successful company
The couple of things which I experienced at Dell were very frustrating. Interestingly, companies makes most such issues as company policies, often making no options for an individual to give a thought to it.
Though being in the Linux Engineering team and expected to work to all the fullest extents, you aren't given any resource for it. Well! Ah!! That's not within the company policy is what you hear.
Public Mailing List archives are blocked. Well! Company Policy. But still you hear, "We understand Linux, We support it."
Probably it was me, an odd, who had the feeling of being closed in a jail environment, working at Dell. It felt more to me like I'm again being ruled by the British Empire (East India Company).
With a belief in myself that not every company would be the same, the thought to quit Dell came to my mind after 21 months. A tough decision to make, but I had to.

Today, I’m quite happily influenced by blogging. Different people have different ways of defining and using this new trend.
For me, it was always difficult to store small documents for system configuration and tips for making life simpler with computers. Earlier I ended up with having multiple documents in my machine.
With blogging, I can dump all my small documents in my blog and have it readily available when and where required. The other beauty is that it is well open for others who could find it useful.

Now I understand, why even though staring carelessly for the past 5 years, my health has not gone bad. ;-)

How has your life been going ?
Ever asked this question to yourself. Do you ever feel yourself lonely; missing ?
Two days of the weekend "silenced" being ended up with Sci-Fi movies and Mugs of Beer at a dark cosy Peecos.
Does it mean life ? Oh! Yes. No dependencies, no nothing. Just bindaas

Yes, that’s rightly mentioned in the title. I’m not a fucking good speaker but this link might be good enough for explanations on why ESR and his open source fundas are shit.
Follow the facts, not the hype.
Free Software has always been about user rights and RMS has done great job.
For me personally, it’s been FSF because of which today what I am. Being a dumb chap from a rural town in a rural state of India and born in a complete business family, I had never dreamt of becoming a computer professional anyway. It was FSF and RMS’ idealisms that brought me today to where I am.
Long live RMS and long live the FSF.

Today, blogging is one of the hottest topic.
Day in day out people are blogging. Statistics on the net show that every 7 seconds an article is posted to a blog.
But what exactly is a blog ?
A search at my laptop’s local dictionary server yielded two definitions :
rrs@laptop:~ $ dict blog
2 definitions found
From WordNet ® 2.0 (August 2003) [wn]:
blog
n : a shared on-line journal where people can post diary entries
about their personal experiences and hobbies [syn: {web
log}]
From Jargon File (4.4.4, 14 Aug 2003) [jargon]:
blog
n.
[common] Short for weblog, an on-line web-zine or diary (usually with
facilities for reader comments and discussion threads) made
accessible through the World Wide Web. This term is widespread and
readily forms derivatives, of which the best known may be
{blogosphere}.
So in desi terms I understand it as a diary in electronic form with an add-on of commenting option available. I find it awkward looking at websites where people have converted the whole site into a blog.
In my opinion it’s better to follow the good old Unix philosophy – KISS – “Keep it simple, stupid”
