Glad to hear that it was of use to you back in 1997 :-). <br /><br />Just a tiny correction, both of us are from Cochin, Kerala and not Bangalore.<br /><br />Nowadays we run a telecommunication company specializing in voice logger, ivr and call centres. I have left the original shellsock page untouched all these years. It is still accessible from http://www.xtendtech.com/ss/<br /><br />Just thought you would like to know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608708830666906339.post-62959390481528758312011-04-25T02:50:08.365+05:302011-04-25T02:50:08.365+05:30Dwiju

Instead, with your tenacity and perseverance, I am convinced that if you have gone into the research field or something similar , you could have produced something unique which the rest of the world could have enjoyed. You may disagree but you seem to have always bet the wrong horse. At some stage I suggest that you should write a self analysis entitled' ME and what went right or wrong'.<br /><br />In our upbringing we were always chanelled into adopting a career without any regard as to whether we liked it or not. In my case I never knew anything about engineering until I went into Sibpore. I knew a little about medicine or about homeopathy from Ma. But as you know Baba was against all these. What I really enjoyed doing was cooking Kheer while Ma was asleep, I still enjoy cooking. Perhaps I should have been a chef. If I would have mentioned it to Baba he would have died in shame. I dread to think what would have happpened to me and my bones before that. But then, I was never a rebel.<br /><br />Let me preach something which I know you will detest, do stop smoking-take it as a challenge- think of producing something which will enable you to do that before it is too late. Come to think of it only Tom Dick and Harry smoke these days, you are bigger than them.<br /><br />Enjoy your tour of Scotland.<br /><br />DadamoniAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608708830666906339.post-75389918600887583502011-04-18T18:16:25.062+05:302011-04-18T18:16:25.062+05:30Lovely post, and i believe you would have made a d...Lovely post, and i believe you would have made a darn good programmer , had you kept your pursuit, and definitely the reason I still program is because of you having inculcated the interest in me. I liked your example of a farmer deriving the satisfaction of seeing his harvest. Its the same reason I am still motivated to do my job everyday. Software programming gives you immense satisfaction , since it helps you create something which others can appreciate. I dont know if I told you, my latest product in microsoft finally got shipped, its an editor and entirely written by me, find it here :http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg269469.aspx . Although you may not understand what exactly it is but in short it helps a person to edit a particular type of file. When I see this webpage I feel satisfied exactly as you did when you created your db3 database :)Anindyanoreply@blogger.com
