The 'Kaal Vaasi' Life! (Now nearing Paadhi Life)

Source: Towards data science I successfully completed the rite of passage for any new developer. Printing out "Hello World". Interestingly, there is history to this phrase and was first used in a book about programming on C which was again inherited from an internal memo at Bell Laboratories. Python is a syntax easy language meaning you don't have to remember a lot of Python keywords as they are similar to English. For example, I've seen in some language where print is shown as println and the use of flower brackets{}. In Python, we print hello world with the following syntax: print("Hello, World!") Here, the keyword 'print' is a function which basically prints out anything on to the screen. The parenthesis used is to give Arguments or in simple words, whatever you want to print to the screen. A function is a set of instructions combined into a single keyword to reduce repetition of code. For example, in the print() function, it basic

In the teamtreehouse course about learning, there are 3 crucial questions that the instructor asks us to ask ourselves after learning something. What did I learn just now?  Can I put the learning in my own words and not the definitions provided How can I relate what I learnt now with something that I already know.  The instructor also tells us that simply re-reading or re-attempting a course from the beginning doesn't work and if I'm able to answer these 3 questions, then what I've learnt has stuck with me. If I'm unable to answer these questions, I've identified a weakness and have to deliberately learn and practice that module until I'm able to answer the above questions.  Makes sense.  The instructor says that experts become experts by identifying their weaknesses and deliberately practice to attack their weaknesses. Let me try!

OK! It's been a long time since I wrote anything here. Because I've been growing up and am not as young as before. The Kaal Vaasi Life is nearing The Paadhi Life. And I really don't know who is listening to this blog. It was purely my ranting and if anybody at all is listening, I feel sorry for you man!(or woman) During the course of this life, I realized that I stopped growing when I stop learning. Another thing that I learnt was that whenever our time is not right and when I felt that I am stuck somewhere, it is time to dust everything and start learning a thing or two. So, in my attempt to get unstuck now, I'm trying to learn something new which has nothing to produce any result in my life. And that keeps it motivating to keep learning. Because, when I try to attach a benefit to something I learn, I expect the benefit to be waiting when I finish my learning. And, learning is a long process. So, I get disappointed when I don't get what I want in a sh
