Amalgam of stories and ideas
'Change is inevitable and we should learn to embrace it.' True maybe, but knowing that doesn't make it any easier. What does 'embrace' even mean? Brace is what we do when we know that change is coming. The hit however doesn't hurt any less does it?

A story
Whatever he was, nobody was quite sure about. His form, described differently by all. The only thing everybody agreed on, was how much they revered and feared him. And Him only because it isn’t very respectful, is it?

Who Am I
I am a poor story teller. I don’t do smalltalk well. Most of the time when I relate an event, the humor disappears from it. Am I an introvert? Probably. Am I always comfortable with the silence? Probably not. I find it difficult to pick up the phone and call a friend to know how they’re doing. If we meet, have a good (but short) conversation, forgive me if I don’t ask for your number. I won’t call, unless we were discussing business and it wasn’t done.

The Year
I think I understand a little of why the calendar is important. I can sort of grasp the difficulty of life without the concept of quantifiable passage of time. Each of us comes into this world on a certain day. A day which most of us learn to hold special because those around us embrace it as an occasion to celebrate. On this birthday, my age counter increases by 1. How much sense this makes is debatable. I’ve never woken up the next day and felt the extra year.

I don’t have many memories of my childhood. I would peg the slim flashes I have at about when I was 5yrs. Most of these are of course reinforced by the fact that they are all embarrassing and my family gets a laugh out of them every now and then.

Learning how to Code: My Story
I have had a running interest in learning how to program for about the last eight years. While I could surely look for reasons as to why I haven’t become a programmer, most of it is on me. There have been periods when I got stuck in and felt that I had learnt something. I just never got to the next level after introduction to…. I became pretty good at the basics, but very much inadequate at anything beyond.
