Python Is Not the Only Snake in My Life
Sometimes a snake's venom is less poisonous.
Pythons kill their prey by wrapping around them and crushing them to death. They kill by suffocating their prey or by inducing cardiac arrest.
But we are not talking about snakes here.
I like Python — the programming language. It has a simple syntax with lots of supporting libraries. Its web frameworks are great. And it is perfect for data science and machine learning.
Unlike Python, a lot of things in life do not come with the same simplicity. Life has lots of twists and turns. One cannot always predict where life is headed.
We need anchors in life to hold on to. Sometimes they are our family members or our friends. People who can help you keep your head in the game because it becomes quite easy to get lost in the chaos.
My anchor was my friends. I had a great bunch. We were together for more than a decade. We spent our entire childhood together. Even though, we were of the same age group. I looked up to them. We knew each other very well and shared everything. Then we became adults.
Things started to change. We were not sharing anything with each other. We often had no time to meet or discuss our life. Behaviors changed. My anchor was falling apart…
