What is Booting?

By Sai Rohith Karanam

      
      crux points:
  1. Booting is the process of starting or restarting a computer and loading an operating system for a user to access.
  2. In the boot process, a booting environment reads a small program that is stored in ROM.
  3. This program then executes various operations on RAM that bootstrap the operating system and make it available for use.
  4. Linux, like any other operating system, must be booted for it to function.
  5. There are various options associated with the boot process that you can configure, if necessary.

First post!

Hello World, My name is Sai Rohith Karanam, currently pursuing BTech Computer Science Engineering at Lovely Professional University, Punjab. I am a tyro in writing blogs. I'm just exploring a new field in my life. Actually, I would like to share something that happened before writing this blog. From the past 5 days, I was constantly trying to write a blog and was searching like hell all over the internet. All the questions in my mind like, where to publish my blog? what to write in my blog? These type of questions kept flashing through my mind honestly till today afternoon. I then saw some videos of "how to own a domain name and buy web hosting for a cheaper price", the cheaper price I finally got is 6000 INR, but I don't want to take a risk by affording money as I am still a novice. If at all I want to afford the money, let me gain a little bit of experience by writing here and then afford it later. Then, all of a sudden, an idea flashed through my mind and s...

By Sai Rohith Karanam
2020 is a year of shocks, surprises, learnings and a lot of introspection for me. I know with the arise of corona pandemic, many people have lost their lives, lost their jobs, lost their own families but still, there are a lot of things we need to be grateful for. For example, at this moment, you are alive, you are reading this, your senses are working properly and above all, your health is perfectly alright in spite of the pandemic.  Now tell me, how many good things are there that we need to be grateful for amidst of corona chaos? Every year is an experience we gain for the future, experience from the mistakes that we've done, experience from the way we have responded in a particular situation and experience from our self-fulfilling prophecies.

Purpose in Life vs Purpose of Life

By Sai Rohith Karanam
A gentle disclaimer, This post is only written on the basis of my thoughts and perspectives. It is not intended to hurt anyone's beliefs and traditions. Okay, let's start. We study at prestigious universities, we get the highest paying jobs, we get lots of money which is well enough to buy every single thing for our own comfort, our parents will be very proud of everything we have achieved and a lot more praise from the society. Are these enough for your life to be successful? If you said no, you're on the right path. But if you said yes, Think again! Today we are in the year 2020, let's move a 1000 years back. Because you were born in the 20th or 21st century, you are struggling to become a doctor or an IT professional. What if you were born 1000 years ago? Well, you might opt fishing as your career, right? What did this symbolise?  Our purpose in life, which means it is the purpose which we should fulfil to make a living for our life keeps on varying.  Today, you are ...
