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. This blog explores how these domains are shaping enterprises in 2025 and why integration between them is no longer optional — it's essential. Database Administration: The Backbone of Enterprise Data Modern enterprises run on data. ...

CowBoy... too good :)

By
  A cowboy named Bud was overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous pasture in California when suddenly a brand-new BMW 7 Series advanced out of a dust cloud towards him. The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, Cartier sunglasses and YSL tie, leans out the window and asks the cowboy, 'If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, Will you give me a calf?' Bud looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, 'Sure, Why not?' The yuppie parks his car, whips out his HP notebook computer, connects it to his Nokia N95 cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo. The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg , Germany ... ...

LETTER TO PRIME MINISTER

By
  LETTER TO PRIME   MINISTER Dear Mr. Prime minister I am a typical mouse from Mumbai. In the local train compartment which has capacity of 100 persons, I travel with 500 more mouse. Mouse at least squeak but we don't even do that. Today I heard your speech. In which you said 'NO BODY WOULD BE SPARED'. I would like to remind you that fourteen years has passed since serial bomb blast in Mumbai took place. Dawood was the main conspirator. Till today he is not caught. All our bolywood actors, our builders, our Gutka king meets him but your Government can not catch him. Reason is simple; all your ministers are hand in glove with him. If any attempt is made to catch him everybody will be exposed. Your statement 'NOBODY WOULD BE SPARED' is nothing but a cruel joke on this unfortunate people of India . Enough is enough. ...
