کیا پتا ہم میں ہے کہانی یا کہانی میں ہم

“

Whatever is happening
why is it happening ?
You don’t know, neither do I.

….

Is the story inside of us ?
or are we inside a story?

….

Life is like the water from rain,
lets store half of it and let half of it wash away.

…..

Are we a drop in the ocean ?
or, are we the entire ocean?

….

is life more than our needs?
or is it less than what we need?

….

Is the story inside of us?
or are we inside a story? ”

I love the above lines, they are from a very underrated song. These lines truly reflect this feeling inside of us. Sometimes we feel so smart, so confident, like the entire world was made for us and we are the main character of the story. We take stupid risks without thinking about others. But sometimes we feel so small in the world that we feel worthless. Like the world does not care a single thing about us.

I think reality lies somewhere in the middle, as always. I would like to think that I am a drop in the ocean, at the same time I am the entire ocean myself.

I am a small character in a grand story, and I am also a story on my own.

The Art of Synchronisation

Merhaba takipçim. Çok memnun oldum ki şimdi bizim küçük soğuk Savaş bitti. Ve memnunum ki şimdi sana konuşabilirim. Iyi ki varsın 🤍. Bu blog Türkçede yazmak isterdim. Ama bu blog biraz teknik. Yani İngilizce kullanmak zorundayım. Üzgünüm 🙁. One of the biggest and most complicated challenges in computer science as well as science in general is the challenge of synchronisation. Weather its to synchronise data or to synchronise two events. To some extent, synchronising data is simpler, but synchronising two events is impossible. Two physical events happening in real life can never be synchronised. Its mathematically impossible. Why? Well its mathematically impossible for two values in the real world to be identical. For example let's take two stones which are exactly same weight, shape, size and material and drop them exactly from the same height. They will appear to be dropping at the same time but they are in fact not dropping at the same time. To prove this...

The emotional dilemma

Sometimes I ask this question to myself, and I have been asking this question a lot more lately. “should we allow our emotions to fluctuate or should we train ourselves to always remain in a stable state emotionally?” To be honest, its really a question of preference, I see advantages and disadvantages in both approaches. As a man I feel like its quite essential for me to have a good control over my emotions and not let it come in my way of work. And I have been quite good at it. There are instances when I have been in a terrible shape emotionally but I did not let it affect my work even a bit. But this is what is shown on the outside. To the entire world. I am good at it. But I am thinking about inside in this question. what should happen to it? From this logic it makes sense to just train myself to be completely emotionally flatlined. Be someone who does not get upset too much when something goes wrong, or does not get too sad when gets hit with a c...

All language is but a poor translation

Recently I came across this Quote by Franz Kafka. “All Language is but a poor translation”. Or as I like to say it, “A language is nothing but a poor translation of feelings”. And the more I think about it, It makes more sense. On first thought, this idea seems conflicting. We made the languages, and every culture in the world should have perfected this skill to be able to express themselves completely, right? Well, Not really. I am fortunate enough to know more than one language and I can see this gap between languages where no one is really perfect to be able to express ourselves completely. Even with my native language, Urdu. There have been times when I have felt a certain way towards someone or towards myself and did not know how I could have expressed that. And I am sure you must have felt this way too. There are some things that just can not be expressed in the most perfect way that we would like to express them. No matter which language we use...
