The most common race on this earth is human race and the subspecies are neither males nor females it’s SOFTWARE ENGINEER. If you go to any nook of this world you will come across atleast one. And yes an Indian or DESI software guy.
Emphatically, Let it be a "developed nations" like UK, US, France, Australia or "developing nations" like India, China, Or, middle east, or even nations like Uganda, Liberia, Bangladesh.. You can definitely find one Indian origin software guy (Goddamn..... that there is NO place in the whole world where we are not present.)
Most likely, whoever is reading this is also one. I can proudly say that I represent the millions of this race. So, you can more associate to me. It is a very stereotypic/ unimaginative life that we guys have. Our "software gargantuan" companies in India show unbendable revenue increment of atleast a couple of hundred million dollars. The IT firms have triggered a nation's development and the standard of life for most individuals. You go home, and your parents are proud to represent to the world that their son/daughter is a gallant participant of the bandwagon that has made wonders in economic system - be it theirs or, their nations.
But there is also a dark side of the moon, it’s not exactly a sad part but that even we guys sometimes fail to realize. We have a heart that cries. That cries for itself. The sound of the cry is heard to none. The pain and the tears are seen by none.
How many times have u realized that you have a hollow left in your heart? How many times have you thought that this is not how you wanted to live life? You have always wanted your life to be something remarkable. And you just ended up here. Just for the sake of money. Which has tied you down, killed your emotions, tortured you, roasted you in the hell and deprived you of the most basic thing for a man...- Life...Your own life. The worst sin you can do is to kill someone's feelings. Even worse is killing your own feelings. May be we are too busy even for the realization.
You cannot blame anyone for this kind of life because you had decided to walk this path. You have your project deadlines nearing, BA’s giving you requirements that keeps changing all the way till the release, time estimates are unrealistic, and the client doesn’t knows what he wants. But he knows to say that he doesn’t want the one that you have made after consulting with him and confirming for hours. You have a manager to handle all these issues for you, ironically, he is the one who sits on top of your head and jumps at you for all the issues from the client's side. After all client is the one who pays... not you. And that’s the truth; you are just an organism machine.
The most people you meet in the IT field are all the more dipsomaniac and lucrative. You go places. Work in locations that others can only dream of. That's what everyone thinks about you. But, you know what lies beneath. Yes, my friend... I know I can understand your troubles and issues too. Family pressure, Misunderstanding with loved ones, hidden pains, the fake smile, sense of happiness when you keep your folks happy. your sacrifice of killing your own dreams for monetary success. I know all of it.
You might come across similar situations that you face in your daily life. (Dont worry, I'm not going to make a blog of all that over here.) You have been there, or may be in the same position shortly. BUT STILL LIFE SHOULD GO ON, IT’S A NEVER ENDING THING.
