Hello world!

Hello world! As a computer science major, these two words are probably more common to me than any other two-word sentence. It is the one string that we are taught to print out in the first lab for any programming language course – ranging from C to Assembly Language. In the process, we are supposed to learn at least one basic thing about the language – how easy (or otherwise) it is to output something in this language. Whereas in C it is a no-brainer, in Assembly the same program will make you want to kill yourself – after you have killed all the class geeks who know how to get it done, from their ‘experiments’ with computers. Anyway, this is the first post and I don’t want anyone to find out already what a homicidal maniac they have let into their circles, so let’s not talk about that anymore.

I have had blogs in the past. Even at the moment, I am more or less regular with my MSN Space, http://www.lexcorphq.spaces.msn.com. I usually use my blogs to jot down random thoughts, with the hope that someone will read it and leave a comment, and then I may be able to find someone with whom I can shoot the breeze about a whole bunch of random nonsense that is always on my mind.  I used to a big superhero fan, and even as an adult one thing about those comic books and their plots still make me ponder – what are we here for? Are all of us, in one way or another, the orphan son of some powerful father who sent us here to save our lives? Does it mean that we in turn must serve this planet, the one that was chosen to save our lives? Similarly, aren’t all of us, at some level, lonely people with an identity crisis? How would each of us react to suddenly being gifted superpowers? How would we deal with it? Would we be responsible about it, know exactly what is to be done? Or would we go astray and start using these powers for our own end, only to be woken up mercilessly by the death of a loved one? Would we then be forever haunted by the knowledge that had we been a little more careful, maybe our dearest one would still be alive and be able to see us put ourselves and our skills to better use? Not many of us can fly or climb walls or stop a running train, but I believe these are questions we can all relate to. I will be looking forward to some comments.If you took the time to read this, thank you. Please let me know your thoughts about the matter. Trust me, you will be making quite a difference.
