Explain how Devkota describes the 'blind' and the 'cave-penancer'. Do you agree or disagree with them?

In the poem, the Lunatic Devkota has declared the blind as the world's pioneer whereas the cave-penancer as the deserter of humanity.

I agree with the statement of Devkota. By blind Devkota is indicating the personalities who are focused on their own goals rather than looking around at what others are up to. Blind are those who cannot be lured by eye candies. Blind are those who are void of desires that are pleasing to eyes. Devkota's blinds are sure the pioneers of the world since they only care about their dreams - solely and invest their intellect in reaching there rather than having the desire to have fancy, extravagant goods. These blinds can bring innovation in science and culture. They tend to bring comfort and usefulness over luxury. The blinds can dream with closed eyes and have a vision and can think in a long term. Wherever, the ones with wide open eyes only think with their senses. The world starts with liking something they see and getting what they saw. They are not the creators but followers of those who are blind. The visually perfect ones are blinded by the aura of the blinds. The blinds are the leaders who create visual for the visually perfect ones.

Another statement of Devkota states the cave-penancer as the deserter of humanity which is quite agreeable too. Devkota's cave penancer are the great saints who have supposedly given away all the lust and are living in moksha. But are they really content with their present? There are many events where these so-called saints have deceived many normal people with their sugar coated words. They use the money they have robbed through scam for their luxury. They are human living the inhumane life. The cave-penancer who are actually devoted to meditation and left the world behind is the deserter of humanity. They are running from their sole propose of being born i.e. to serve the mankind. They are too afraid to fulfill their duties, therefore, they resort to dark caves with no human interaction.

The explanation which Devkota has expressed in the sixth portion of his poem has put great meaning to the blind and cave-penancer. He has put light upon way of thinking about them and the Devkota's perception of them. Both of his intrepetation are undeniably agreeable.

Concept Paper on software freedom to Microsoft on behalf of KU

1. Title: Introducing software freedom in Microsoft

2. Background:

Microsoft is the well known and widely used software worldwide. It is popular among the students and faculties in Kathmandu University as well. But the major problem we have been facing while using Microsoft is its numerous license and patents. These have created an inconvenience for our users. The tools Microsoft issues are very useful but due to the fact that these tools are friendly with only the Microsoft os environment is little disapproving. With a number of students and faculties involved in computer-related fields, open sources are preferred. The tools of Microsoft embellished with software freedom will be the real gold for everyone.

3. Purpose:

Microsoft introducing software freedom will be a great news for every other users and programmer. The usability of brilliant Microsoft tools in any platform is every learners and programmer's dream come true. Microsoft is currently very strict when it comes to licensing and patent. The company is practicing patenting codes and software features. Such practice is quite discouraging for the programmers. Instead, by removing any such patents and making the software free will provide a solid ground for programmers to discover loopholes and solutions to mend them. Microsoft can actually use their ideas to further enhancement of their preexisting programs. Free sources like GNU/ Linux is gaining quite a popularity than Microsoft due to its open platform. This can be seen as a little threat to the company which can be reversed by introducing software freedom in Microsoft. This will increase the likability and profits of Microsoft and also will be a great help to students and faculties of Kathmandu University as well.

4. Project Description:

Software freedom with Microsoft will be beneficial for both the company and the users. The users will be able to openly modify the applications as per their need. They can even fix any bugs related to the application. This aids to the improvement of creativity among the students. Moreover, it increases the use of Microsoft products. Open sources like Linux has been very popular among the programmers for accessibility of the codes and is being quite popular as well. It is high time for Microsoft to reconsider its policies and patents. We will start with small changes like making the Microsoft tools friendly in other open source surroundings and removing some patents and copyright policies. Similarly, it can also support the idea of copyleft licensing for open source programmers. This encourages the users to effectively use Microsoft tools and increase its popularity which finally brings more business home.

For starters, we will use KU students and faculties as a research subject in introducing software freedom in Microsoft. Depending on this result we can either decide to promote the idea of software freedom or stick with the pre-existing ideas.

INSANE

Lean face, flowing floral dress,

Is she real? My damsel in distress,

She calls for me,

Dancing in glee; urging me to be free.

I am engulfed by this sheer darkness,

crying for someone to fill this loneliness.

Outside I look fine,

but my insides whine.

So take away my sedatives,

Don't get interrogative.

'cause I am losing the sense of wrong and right,

my mind is stuck in this fight.

Help me revive,

and once again let me feel alive.

Your words prick through my veins,

tell me how sane are you to call me insane?
