TechSpirit

TechSpirit - Am not trying to compare these two. Technology and Spirituality are my two great interests and have been living with these two from a long time.. So I got something on these two to share with the world. Yes as I said am not going to compare these two for now but may be in future. Have been watching the relation between these and found some... may be we can find few relations between any two odd objects too, so I don't want to discuss these until I found something very sound.

Technology and Me:
I looked at that beautiful white angel like machine when I started my first computer course - Logo in my eighth standard and fallen in love with computers when I completed the course (reason: I scored my first ever 100%)। And it took almost three years to get back to that angel in the summer vacation after my 12th for the courses on C and MS-Office. So the love for computers made me to take Information Technology as my major in under graduation. The reason why IT but not CSE is I read much on daily news papers describing the word IT rather than computer science(the IT down trend, the IT boom, the sept 11 attack etc). But only after joining the college I found that I made a mistake off course that doesn't made a big difference. I might have not found my mistake if I have studied in any other university other than Anna, no other univ in India shows such a discrimination between these two branches hats off to Anna. I had my first email account with yahoo(may be for chat rooms i didn't remember) in my B.Tech first year and my relation with tech continued from then. Life Mein Twist - yeah the twist in the tech part of my life came when I met my tech guru and my college friend Prashanth Ellina. This guy is a tech savvy, computer geek and ....he deserves an article in my blog :) so, guys searching for a guru, follow my posts to know more abt him.. missing it may take u 1000 more years(dont forget u r into a blog with spirituality) to find one again. I didnt bank on much technology during my engineering days which led to unemployment after my under graduation. I started my career as Technical Support Executive in Sutherland and thereafter worked as a lecturer in Bapatla Engineering College, Andhra Pradesh. Finally four months back as neo back to the core I entered into the world of my pleasure - field of technology. Though HCL is my payee I work in National Informatics Center where am working under National Road Transport dept. for building a software application for Regional Transport Offices. My work includes hands on Core Java, Swings, RMI, Servlets, JSP, JSF, application servers, NetBeans IDE and few other support tools. I will be very happy to suggest you on any of these and if any of u are into any of these fields let me know.

Spirituality and Me:
The word spirituality doesn't has any meaning for me when I was introduced to meditation in 12th class by my friend Ramakrishna। I started meditation with an interest on it, an interest with no specific reason।I was a guy fond of powers(alladin and gini impressed me) fortunately or unfortunately the one I started named 'Anapanasati' (type of meditation) talks more about powers and supernatural things like cosmic energy, souls etc॥ which seemed very interesting to me and practiced it with great enthu. Lost in touch with my friend and meditation after my 12th for almost two years. Life Mein Twist - While I was going home from college in B.Tech second year I was told about Shri Ram Chandra Mission (SRCM) by my fellow passengers. Soon after I returned Chennai I joined in the Mission, the Meditation that this Mission teaches is completely different to the one I practiced before and I loved the new one (more abt SRCM on nxt posts).

Its me, SRCM Abhyasi and HCL Employee...
