Climb up and also learn to come down gracfully if needs be

People find it quite easy to climb up - not just rock or careerer ladder rather I will say all sort of upward activity.
But when comes the term to go back to where we started from or say somewhere down the line some of us do fare terribly. It's sort of tumbling down .
Why this happen ? May be I do not have the answer to the question or rather there is nothing called tailored made answer to all our queries .
Recently I have some kind of upward movement and the movement was very quick.
To be more specific I had an climbing experience that took just 2 weeks to go up and reach the peak. And I had to come down in just 3 days. I was not ready either for the quick climbing up or the trembling down.

After a few days I started analyzing the events and came up with my own explanation about the eventuality and I how reacted.

When I started climbing up I did never set out my destination and my primary aim was to to reach the goal. As if the journey only involves a call to start and reaching the tip point. In the path I never felt about the incremental upwards effect I was undergoing. But the incremental ups were making me reach there. And when I reach the peak and was told to reverse back I was upset. After reaching the peak I found myself really far away from I where began. It took incremental effort to reach the point. And from the decision point I never anticipated about reversing back or say about the failure. I thought only about further up. The sudden reverse gear made me feel bad. I knew only about incremental upward movement but not about graceful climbing down in a rather less time. And that's why we people overreact.

The lesson I learnt is be ready to face all the possibility. And when you reach your current goal you may need to think about further upward movement or may be reverse back but not beforehand. But if you really need to reverse back just take it as a new path and forget about the direction. That will save you from overreacting. And frankly speaking this idea helped me to a great extent to climb down gracefully.

Mate, it is always terrible to climb down the road. Moreover if the slope is too high, as in your case, you end up rolling down with an added risk of breaking your neck! But be thankful that you didn't break your neck, you only got hurt. And yeah, life always treads in new paths, be it going forward or rolling down. You just need to find the newness. Learn from them and if possible enjoy them! You got the world for yourself! Be happy...

Changing the system from within the system.

Do we need an emergency situation to awake? Yes we do need one most of the time. We only get awake when a Parliament attack, Mumbai attack, Samjhouta express attack, Mumbai local Train attack etc do occur. The problem is not that we get awake when the crisis occurs. But the problem is we fall back to sleep when the crisis is over . Let’s stop doing falling back to sleep. Whenever a crisis occurs the first thing we think is that we need change the system. We essentially first point our finger to the corrupt politics system, intelligence system, police system etc. The more we can name the more points we score as if we are in a mission only to find who the culprits are. I have a problem with this notion of only fault finding and essentially taking no action based on the finding. Who comprises the system? None but us. The collective individuals comprise the system. It’s we who give birth to a corrupted system and continue to feed the system with corruption in everyday. How? Let m

Missing kiss of death narrowly

Yesterday there was a strike call in West Bengal. The roads were almost empty. I usually leave office at 9:00 to 9:30 pm. But since I anticipated less transportation option I left early at around 8:00 pm and took a shuttle. The shuttle car was a white colored ambassador. The driver was young and energetic. Fortunately I got seat in the front just beside him. Around the middle of the the journey there is a place called Science city. There we need to cross a bridge. Few yards before the the bridge a speeding Tata Sumo crossed our car from left side to the right. Just before the bridge the same car was pushing our car towards left. Our car was running at around 60 km/h. In front of our car just few feet away there was another car blocking our car from moving forward. The Sumo was pushing from right side, in the front side vacant car blocking us from speeding away and in the left side was a small bush separating two roads at slightly different level just before the bridge.

CPU throttling

Sometime we come across situation where we need to throttle or degrade CPU performance . Suppose there is a situation you deploy your application in low performance system but development is done on high performance system .  To simulate lower performance system you need to do CPU throttling.  Here I am discussing how we can do this using Windows 11 OS. Similar feature should be available in Linux or other operating systems as well.  Assuming we are using Windows 11 OS as super user , open Performance Monitor application tool. In Windows you can open this by invoking perfmon.exe /res from search or run option. Using this tool open CPU performance monitor to monitor current CPU(s). In the GUI there are two panes. From left pane, tree view choose Performance -> Monitoring Tools -> Performance Monitor view.  In the right pane, you should see two sub-view one graph view on the top and one selected counters view on the bottom. Right click on the the bottom view and choose Add Coun
