Some days back, a friend of mine told me of being closet in nature. I don't blame him for the reason being that it was true to it's slight context. By slight, I mean to say that I've not exposed myself to such varied topics of things that can affect me, though not mentally, but yes, as a person and an individual.
So, here goes. I have now began my expedition of exploring topics. Topics which could be generic in nature, technical in preference and personal in words. And can do share some, otherwise, being the forgetting nature off late these days, owing to the phenomenal information and people and things around, I forget the very ideas that spurt out of application of them lest not this. Most of the things are accidental by nature, some are a result of the social networking that I do the most and a little by people.
One of those happens to be imperative and investigative journalism. On a dull Sunday morning, while going through the updates of the world, I happen to crash around a veteran journalist, Mrs. Madhu Trehan. A founder member of the reverent India Today group and a sensational reporter of the epic oldie Newstrack, she was exposing the way people do journalism these days unlike the "pure" ones which we used to see when we were kids. Now, let's keep the definition of pure out of this post else, it would go in a way that you might skip the very essence.
Second comes the technical updates that go around the world. Be it yCombinator's Hacker News, Google Feeds or Slashdot as per recommendations, I was dumbstruck with the flow of technology in every person on this planet. Every thing you need for your line of work, is available. Well, almost. The way to learn new languages, testing features, working on new components and flavors is an awesome experience in itself owing to such constant, nagging-though-beautiful updates. Oh, and Cloud Computing has bitten me too. So, I do follow it, quite seriously - if you mean, I can sit and open a VM right now and start building a virtual cloud system on it just to test how it works!
Thirdly, and I fall in and out of this again and again is the beautiful world of Cryptography and the science of hacking. I mean, you should be a true applicationist, as I'd say if you can tweak things and work around established setups. It shakes the very meaning of them and a sense of satisfaction within. There are some phenomenal people out there who make you look like a sissy when it comes to the mind that should work. They start, when we stop. And this is just the beginning of the study. The topics would be known when I explore more.
And lastly, our news. I mean, the things ongoing in my country. Be it the corruption charges, the anti-corruption movement and the likes, I feel like following it quite for sometime and build up a knowledge base before I can begin to even argue on that for a minute.
Er.. Books. They remain where they need to. Bedtime reading or company during transit. More might be in the pipeline.
Happy researching!
