Youth
Youth is not a time of life—it is a state of mind. It is not a matter of red cheeks, red lips and supple knees. It is a temper of the will; a quality of the imagination; a vigor of the emotions; it is a freshness of the deep springs of life. Youth means a tempermental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over a life of ease. This often exists in a man of fifty, more than in a boy of twenty. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years; people grow old by deserting their ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, doubt, self-distrust, fear and despair—these are the long, long years that bow the head and turn the growing spirit back to dust.
Whether seventy or sixteen, there is in every being’s heart a love of wonder; the sweet amazement at the stars and starlike things and thoughts; the undaunted challenge of events, the unfailing childlike appetite for what comes next, and the joy in the game of life.
You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear, as young as your hope, as old as your despair.
In the central place of your heart there is a wireless station. So long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, grandeur, courage, and power from the earth, from men and from the Infinite—so long are you young. When the wires are all down and the central places of your heart are covered with the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then are you grown old, indeed!

Not my Choice again I guess
I want to see “YUVA” more than “The Day after Tommorrow”. But I am getting a feeling, that exactly opposite is gonna happen. If not today, tommo, day after :), whenever.
Why not “The Day after Tommorrow“?
Well, its gonna be the same as Independence Day. They showed some scorching heat then. Now they are showing some Ice. And its IMPRESSIVE for all my desi balak friends. arghhh!. I was never impressed by Independence Day. But I will be crucified if I utter some bullshit about it. The same is gonna happen with TDAT. I am gonna hear “Impressive Movie” BLAH BLAH from my DBF (desi balak friends man). And I am gonna agree with em’. It happens a lot of time. And I Enjoy it ;).

If you guys follow Linux, then you might be knowing this.
Recently, the “Alexis de Tocqueville Institution” claimed that “Linus” is not the actual Inventor of Linux and the man who claims it, some Brown says his “account is based on extensive interviews with more than two dozen leading technologists including Richard Stallman, Dennis Ritchie, and Andrew Tanenbaum“.
Ofcourse Linus was the first one to reply “Ok, I admit it. I was just a front-man for the real fathers of Linux, the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus.” hehe.
Today Andy Tenebaum (one of my fav. technical authors) came up with this article. Ofcourse, he did some Linus Bashing here and there (as always), but on the whole he supported him.
Now I am sitting here imagining about Mr. Brown. Why would a guy be so f*ked up in life to do such a thing?
Then I see that ADTI (Browns company) is supported by our very own MSFT.
First its SCO, now some Tocqueville, MS GUYS!!, u need to concentrate on Longhorn Source code. Find a solution to something that can be a smarter invention than UNIX.
