Hello world!

Welcome to WordPress.com. This is your first post. Edit or delete it and start blogging!

Programmers will be programmers Thank you all wonderful WordPress guys who have made such a beautiful blogging site. That’s the reason, I am not deleting the above ‘welcome to wordpress’ sentence

For the benefit of people who are not into software, let me tell you the significance of ‘Hello world!’. The first program which I (and many of those who started learning programming with C or Java) wrote was ‘Hello world!’. This simplest of the programs, ‘Hello world!’ is so popular that it has become a de facto first program in most of the books that teach programming in any language.

So here I am with my blog, and aptly, the first post is titled ‘Hello world!’ (do the non programming guys agree?). I definitely read a lot of blogs by other smarter guys (though mostly programming related blogs) and thanks to all of them for sharing their knowledge. Today, I am no expert to share my knowledge with the world, but I hope to become one soon.

However, I can definitely share what I like from the various books, articles or blogs I read. In fact, a blog could become a nice repository of information. Previously, if I liked some article from some newspaper, I used to cut it and keep a hard copy with me, which easily got damaged / lost over a period of time. And then this brilliant idea stuck me – to keep that data in soft form (e-form) on my blog, so that at any time in future, I can find it without much pain. So here you’ll find information / excerpts from the various books on programming, philosophy which I found thought-provoking, or sometimes, full articles / poems from different sources.

I must also thank my cousin, Bhushan, for inspiring me to start my blog because I dreamt of having my own website, but which has not happened till date. And this blog is quite a close substitute, with quite less effort and much ease. For any of you who are interested in drawing, photography or animation (2D – 3D), have a look at his nice blog.

So happy blogging (to all bloggers, including me) and enjoy reading.
