A linguist, who can code!

You know, I've always found the intersections, the sweet middle points to be the driving force of innovation. The extremes are too far apart to acknowledge and appreciate each other's point of views but the real magic, it happens at the boundaries, the melting pots.

To me, the Language arts and the Computer arts are two such extremes. I find myself wondering, where do I stand in this dichotomy. Often, it was the case that when I was studying language I'd become really immersed in the language and would neglect my another one of my great love, Science and when I was fascinated with something from the ever-broadening world of Science, I'd find my language learning to be slower than what I'd really like.

You've been reading these musings of mine for a long time now, nearly a year I guess. Thank you for you time, time is beautiful isn't it. The only thing that matters for Time beings ;p

So, by now you really know how I tend to combine my interests together, create contexts which make me learn as much as I possibly can and as fast as I can. Yup, that's me) So, these days what I've been really doing is to understand how the Web Technologies really work so I may create tools for myself which can help me learn languages better, remember more and to connect to people who are of the same tribe as mine, language learners. I think, I'm already friends with every language learner I just need to meet them now, hehe. A bit perplexing, maybe;p

I can't, in all my honesty say that I'm studying languages with the same intensity as I used to, right now but I'm still satisfied that I'm working towards my goals of being a good language learner, someone who is code-literate and I wish to make meaningful contribution to the community as well. Yes, there are small bouts of depression when I realize that a certain whim of my heart can't be pursued anymore and I have to accept that, although it can be done but it's not really my priority for now.

Right now, I'm absolutely in Love with Kazakh, I've made so many wonderful friends in Portuguese! I absolutely love it!! But for the rest of my languages, I need to wait)

I am facing certain problems with Kazakh, not because of the language itself but there aren't many resources to learn the languages sadly. So, I'm building something using my Programming skills ( and learning loads ) that'd help me solve the problem for many people - once and for all. 

Now that's something worthy of my time, it is that wonderful philosophy of "Doing Good and Doing Well"

Stay Tuned for more ( exiting! ) updates,
stay awesome,
