Do you dream your programs? Do dreams help you sovle programming logic?

Yes, they do.

I have experienced that dreams do help you solve some critical problems. When you engrossed in  programming to solve somthing; you start dreaming about your problems and eventually you end up with a solution.Its a such a wonderful experience that nobody can help you feel it, you have to experience it your self.

How many times your dreams solve your problems?

Today on my way to office I stopped at Shell gas station, between Teen Talwar and Shaun Circle underpass, to fill my gas tank. It was unusual for me to stop there because I prefer to fill my gas tanks from stations associated with Pakistani companies like PSO or Parco.

But today’s incident has changed my mind. I was very surprised to see that that gas station is selling CNG at official government rate i.e. PKR 43.85. When I inquired why they are selling CNG at this rate, the cashier answered me, “Company has asked us to sell CNG at official government rates “. I said, “Then why are other stations selling at different rate?” he smiled and replied “Woh to badmashi hai”.

I don’t know whether all Shell stations are selling CNG at official governement rate or not?
