FEATURED - CONTENT ---> Developing a Twitter application !

The thought process has started, thanks to the End Semester Projects we are obliged to submit in our college. The idea of making a Twitter application seems nice so far and considering the fact that no one else from my college has tried doing it, I won't have difficulties getting it stamped with the Green Signal to continue . But as I said it in a full fledged post, I am anyhow going to complete it even if I don't get the nod from the college faculties to submit it as a project. Maybe I'll stack it in my PC or offer it to my friends for free , in that case. People tracking the PDLC can go through the comments on the post here

Respect for opinion.

Vandit : It has been quite a while since I put up the official invitation on my blog to write a guest post on my blog , but as they say, some idiots wake up late. :-)

So here’s how Milind sets the words on a roll on the Vandit’s Webzine.

Happy reading !

GUEST WRITER #3 .

Name : Milind Alvares (better known as Goobimama.)

Game : A Freelancer - Graphics designing , writing awesome shit like the one here @ his own - www.soggysh.it .

Age : 25 yrs old (although Urrack might make him 52 soon . )

I’ve been thinking up some shit lately, as I always do, and somehow while doing so the topic of respect kind of got lodged in my brain-lobe thingies. What is it about a comment said by some as*h’le at the bar, or about that moron in the college, that makes our blood uncontrollably boil to dangerous levels? Yes, the respect I’m talking about is respect for someone’s opinion. Bear with me a few minutes; I’m trying to figure this shit out for myself as well.

The reason I write this into a post, is that I’ve figured this has a lot to do with the hate that’s going on in this world. And I’m always against hate. Right from the small kind to the massive wars ‘in the name of god’. The only way to fix this, is to know when to give respect. As in, to know when to give a shit.

Here’s my solution to knowing when you need to roll up your sleeves. “Respect of opinion should only be given, when you have utmost respect for the source of that opinion.” It could be an internet celebrity you’re listening to. It could be your neighbor’s hot daughter. It could be your parents. Note that this is all subjective, and not necessarily true. Some of you might have a neighbors’ daughter who’s just about capable of crushing a baby elephant. My point is, you without question know when to give respect for someone’s opinion, and when not to.

So why do I say this breeds war? Look around you. Too much respect for the other god’s devotee’s opinion. Or too much respect for your bitchy neighbor's opinion. Or too much respect for that moron at the bar. (This is also where I start coming off as the Dalai Lama.) There was this one time I was in an argument with some woman* and she said something very nasty in reference to my mother. Within seconds I found myself wanting to hit her when I thought, can she, a lowlife I wouldn’t care two hoots about, make my mother anything than what she is? Now it might very well be the case that I kind of chickened out of hitting someone, a whus that I am. But the the thought I mentioned definitely made its appearance. I’ve since been a very peaceful guy. Go ahead, say this writeup is a piece of shit and I couldn’t care less (unless it’s that critical guy whom I have utmost respect for).

Does that guy’s opinion of your religious beliefs make your God any less worthy? You really believe your God is so great, so how can the opinion of someone who doesn’t even understand your religion bring down the almighty creator of all things? Respect of opinion should only be given, when you have utmost respect for the source of that opinion.

The next time someone says something about something that you most dearly love and adore, think about the source of opinion before you take action. Think about whether that opinion is worthy of your rage, anger, or violence. And if the source of opinion is one you do have utmost respect for, maybe it’s time to reconsider your opinion. You will definitely find a whole lot more peace in your life.

*The woman scene was totally real. It was the time I crashed into someone’s car, and this bitch just wouldn’t shut up. I tried to keep it cool, and did so for at least two hours, but then I just blew up. I myself was surprised at my rage. Hopefully I will control it the next time. But she was a bitch and a half that I can tell you that.
