Dad used to give us a measly Rs. 1000/- per month,

in that we were not only able to eat stomachs fill,

but we were able to save too!!!

Now we earn a sum of 10K+, we have no idea

where it goes, let alone saving it!!

Which was better, the former or the latter???









6 subjects per sem, 6 different teachers!

One project since we joined

and just one manager!!

Which was better, the former or the latter???

We used to make notes;

we used to study for ranks!!

Now we scan thru our mails;

we struggle for our ratings!!!

Which was better, the former or the latter???









We have still not forgotten the people

in the next section!!!

Now we don't even know who sits

in the next cubicle!!!

Which was better, the former or the latter???

After getting back from a tiring play,

we used to do our home work!!

Now who knows/cares about home;

all we do is just work!!!

Which was better, the former or the latter???









We knew our history and economics!!

Now let alone reading books,

we don't even catch up with the daily news!!!

Which was better, the former or the latter???









We had an aim in life;

behind our backs we had our teachers!!

Now we have no idea about the

future nor do we find any

one who would tell us anything!!!

Now just ask yourself,

which was better,

the former or the latter

This post creatively uses the contrast between ‘former’ and ‘latter’ to compare college days with work life, which is a fun and relatable way to reflect on change over time. In English grammar, ‘former’ refers to the first of two things mentioned, while ‘latter’ refers to the second — a useful way to avoid repetition when you’re describing two options or periods of life. Your examples resonate because many of us do look back fondly at earlier experiences (the former) and compare them with how different things are now (the latter), and understanding this distinction enriches both our language and the message you’re sharing here.

Building Resilient Digital Enterprises in 2025: The Role of Database Administration, Cybersecurity, and Vulnerability Assessment

By
The digital-first economy of 2025 demands more from enterprises than ever before. Data volumes are doubling every few years, cyber threats are becoming more advanced, and compliance frameworks are increasingly strict. In this landscape, organizations that can manage data efficiently, defend against evolving attacks, and proactively address weaknesses will thrive, while those that don't will struggle to survive. At the heart of this resilience lie three interdependent technology pillars : Database Administration – ensuring reliability, scalability, and efficiency. Cybersecurity – protecting digital assets from attacks and breaches. Vulnerability Assessment – identifying and fixing weaknesses before adversaries exploit them.
