rain n brain

so i've a test tomorow .
univ exam actually .
its ten minutes past midnite .
and , sans a cursory look at the book in a semi knocked out state , i havent read anything for tomoro .
yet , i chose to blog than study !

one of the contrubuting factors to this decision , is the RAIN .
its raining here , like its never rained before .
chennai is evolving into venice .
and since we've not yet adapted to the venician commuting-on-water system , there is a good possibility of the exams bein re-scheduled to a drier day .
but its just a possibility . not concrete .

yet my brain refuses to study .
it has kind of accepted that the exams will indeed be postponed .
and once the brain choses to do someting , u know how it is !
it has witdrawn all resources , that were meant to be working on the exam tomo , as soon as it heard tat there is a POSSIBILITY of it not happening tomo .

see now thats the problem wit human evolution !!
we were meant to have simpler lives , where one could sleep peacefully listening to wat the brain(or heart or liver ...watever) says . cuz nature choses the simplest , most-effecient (a euphemism for laziest ) path by default .

----

during that cursory look at a few java programs , i was yet again attracted to programming .
i've loved programming . its bin 8 yrs now .
the first program i wrote was in basic . one that could calculate time in diff parts of the world . sounds too simple now , but it was a great feeling wen it worked then .
even later amoung all that crazy organic chemistry , and theories about surface tension and resonance .... programming was the only thing i liked , and was good at .

and then the IT boom happened . every moron on the street started so-called programming . and coding is now a bad word . coders are anonymous to slaves .

wish programming was an esoteric art . pusued by handful who gunuinely love doing it .

next year i will be coding too , with a zillion other dorks . lets see how it goes .
anyway tat'll happen only if i pass tomoro , which'll happen only if i sleep now !
