Feedback on the video by a retired senior officer, Mr Pramod Govande IRS (1985)..an Alumni of IIT Mumbai, a friend and batchmate of mine.
OOPs have been around since late 1960s. My encounter with OOP like C+ was in 1997-98 when I was posted in Hyderabad. I continued writing in C+ for some time and then switched over to Microsoft’s platform VBA, which forms a basis for the entire Microsoft Office Suite, especially Excel. VBA is full of objects one can manipulate with many tools at hand. While posted as CC in Lucknow and before, I developed Apps applicable to assessees distribution (between the Center & the State) in GST, personnel administration, etc.
Coming back to the features ABSTRACTION, ENCAPSULATION, INHERITANCE, POLYMORPHISM of a typical OOP, the speaker could quite ably connect them to the tenets enshrined in the Thirukkural.
Some say that you name any problem in life, Gita has a solution for it. Lokmanya Tilak saw Karmayog in Gita. Vinoba Bhave learnt spiritualism. Vivekanand learnt from Gita “Believe in yourself”. Shankaracharya learnt “Advaita” from Gita, etc. Such is the power of our scriptures, be it Thirukkural Or Gita. It is for the Believers to bask in the colours of values they see or prefer in life. For non-Believers, no colour at all!
