We defend our imagination about ourselves at any cost

"Kahoda" the sage suddenly hears a voice correcting him. It is his unborn child, speaking from within his wife's womb!

Kahoda is annoyed rather than getting pleased with his child's brilliance, "May this over-smart child of mine be born with a defect of eight twists in his body", he snarls. That is how, the child gets his name - "Ashtavakra", he who is bent in eight places.

While Ashtavakra is still an infant, his father loses a debate competition in the court of king "Janak", and as per the condition of debate, the loser has to become the slave of the winner.

When Ashtavakra becomes 8 years old and learns the fate of his father, he participates in the same competition and manages to defeat the master of his father. Kahoda breaks down with tears when he recognizes that his saviour is his son.

Kahoda was insecure and he felt his reputation was threatened by his own son's brilliance, which is why Kahoda cursed his own son and behaved like a beast.

If Kahoda had allowed his son's brilliance to enhance his support and power, this would have perhaps not happened.

In insecurity, we often keep away things that can benefit us in the long run. We banish good people from our own life and makes ourselves vulnerable to threats.

Javascript-OOPs(Part3)-Inheritance - (9)

   👉 Javascript with OOPs (Inheritance) In Javascript, Inheritance is done using prototype object. A prototype object is an object pointing to another object. We don't have a direct inheritance in Javascript, we can mimic inheritance using prototype. Let's say, we have one more class that inherits from Customer, and it submits to Server2. function CustomerChild(){         this.submit = function() {         alert ("this submits the data to Server2" + " "      +  this.CustomerName + " "                                       + this.CustomerCode");   }}             CustomerChild.prototype = new Customer(); var cust = new Customer(); cust.CustomerName ("John"); cust.Submit();  --this is a call to the submit method of the Customer class.  cust = new CustomerChild(); cust...

Javascript-Unobtrusive - (6)

  👉 Unobtrusive Javascript In web pages, we have presentation and behavior. Presentation is controlled by HTML and behavior is controlled by javascript. <input type = "button" onclick = "Fun1();" id = btn1/> <script language = javascript>              Function Fun1()                       {alert ("Hi");} </script> Here, button is tightly linked with the behavior. Unobtrusive javascript seperates presentation from behavior, making HTML more sleek. <input type = "button"  id = btn1/> <script src = "jscript1.js" type = "text/ javascript"> </script> code of jscript1.js file: <script language = "javascript">            Function Fun1() {                      alert("Hi");             } var e1 = document.getElementByID("btn1"); e1.onclick = ...
