main()
{
printf("hello, world");
}
That's the first program that we as kids learnt to write and then execute but the antiquated Turbo C compiler kept returning errors on it as we needed to include the file 'stdio.h' and learnt the importance of these header files much later on. I am growing all nostalgic again. Never mind, I have been quite that way for some time now, ever since I realised that I am all grown up. But that doesn't just stop there. There's more to it, the pace at which the changes are taking place isn't all constant, it's acclerating and that is scaring the life out of me. May be I need to relax. May be I need to take a look a things one-at-a-time. And may be the gloomy Chennai weather woudn't get better of me.

Oh the headers!! Am I paranoid or is it true that the damn "Hello World" gives me a deja vu every now and then. The economics, accounts and finance terms all get registered in my brain but sadly there are no headers in my head to actually process these heavy terms into a decent 2 word output. Professors tell me these are important and can help you understand the economy, money, firms blah blah. But all that gets into my head is that even with all the headers in my head and the arsenal in my mind, a single bullet from a filthy illiterate goon can turn me into a piece of vegetable.
