Meet Me

Destiny

I am in my office, trying to fix a bug in my project. I have been going through the code to find the cause for the bug. But found an interesting thing; this code was written on 08-12-1997 by one Mr. Paul Martin. Exactly 9 years ago. I checked my PC calendar and found that 8th Dec 97 was a Monday.

I was a college student in 1997 and I would have finished my semester exams by 8th Dec. I would have been at home when he was writing this code. I do not know what I was doing when this guy was writing this code. May be I was fighting for TV remote with my brother, or I was having rice and sambar for dinner with my parents or was dreaming about the girl next door or I was sleeping. Whatever it is, I did not know then that somebody who was sitting 1000s of miles away was writing some code for the BCM project, which would introduce a bug after 9 long years and would come to me for a fix in Bangalore. I think this is called destiny.

This bug is destined to reach me and I am destined to fix it.
I think now I believe in destiny.
