Diary 221: Quarterly Review and Christmas Celebration Day

Yesterday I slept at around 2:00 am. Today I woke up at 7:20 am and realized that I would not be able to make it to office, so I decided to leave late for office. Sushma has planned some celebrations for Christmas and so I decided to go. I woke up finally at 10:00 am, and got ready for Office. I left home and reached office at around 12:15 pm. The office was decorated nicely with balloons and shiny ribbons. Anyways, today was quarterly review day and I was worried, mainly because of my office attendance thing. Well, as it turns out, I got 1 out of 5 in office attendance. Overall, I got 315 out of 500, which comes under the A rating. A+ is the highest that one can get. I was fine with the rating but when the bonus amount was disclosed, I was kind of shocked. It was only 8% , where the maximum was 15%. I was quiet and angry for some time, and diverted my attention by filling in the Visa form and all, but later Ankit himself asked me about the feedback as Rohit was also not happy with it. I showed him logically that it is wrong that I got only 8% of the bonus. He tried to convince me by saying that my review was the best and all, but I was not satisfied and not flattered. Anyways, finally Ankit informed Gil and he agreed to give me 10%. I didn't talk to Gil directly but I hope he understood the logical part and the alignment of the rating with the bonus. Even, by simple, unitary method the percentage bonus comes out to be 9.45. So, it was quite less. Later part of the day, I worked quietly and tried to take matter in my hands. The code generator project seemed to be in my hands now and so I decided to handle it now. After office, I came back home and worked on it further. After getting the necessary code from Rohit, I continued working and rectified his code to work alongside mine. I realized that I need to make my presence felt to cross the 400 mark. After from all this, we had lunch outside, we cut cake and drank sprite. I left office at 5:30 pm and reached home at 8:00 pm. I continued working and then went to Gym. Today was cardio day. I came back, had some food and then again started working. Later, I uploaded all the necessary files and wrote this diary. Also, yesterday I decided that I would sing Tu Ashiqui hai and Ashayein in the new year's party of our society. I even recorded a demo of ashayein and it turned out to be good enough. Now, I plan to watch TV episodes and then sleep by 3:00 am.

Diary 220: No Office and Relaxing Day

Yesterday I slept at around 2:30 am. Today I was planning to go to Office, but I realized that my health is not up to the mark, so I decided to skip the office. I sent a message to Ankit that time itself. I woke up finally at 9:00 am, as I had to go to CBD with my mom. I came back and started watching TV episodes. Pretty soon, I got a ping from Ankit who asked me about my comments on the code and asked me to work on it. Anyways, I started working on it, and solved the problem right away. I sent out the updated code and the result to Ankit and Mukund. After that, I relaxed and kept on watching the TV episodes. I had my lunch in between and after lunch, I slept till 6:00 pm. I kept on watching the TV episodes and then later went to gym. Today was cardio day. I returned home and took a bath. Then, I wrote this diary and now I plan to continue with the TV episodes and sleep by 2:00 am.

Diary 219: No Office and Updates Day

Well, I have been away from the Diary writing business for few days now. Mainly, because nothing very significant is happening, and so it becomes redundant to write about the same thing again and again. Today's post will contain updates about the last few days too.

The major highlights of the past 3-4 days are - meeting with divy, tanvi and dallas to watch the movie (MI-4, which was one hell of a movie), I finally accepted the fact that tanvi and rishabh are getting married and also booked tickets for the wedding, which is in Ludhiana, Punjab. Lately, I have been chatting with Shatabdi a lot, we just share random stuff with each other. Lastly, it was my cousin brother's birthday on 18th December.

Yesterday I don't know when I slept as I woke up suddenly at 6:00 am, and realized that the lights are on. Anyways, I finally woke up at around 10:15 am. I went online and realized that no-one is in office yet. The internet was not working yesterday, and so I decided not to go today. I started watching TV episodes and playing solitaire. Most of the day went like this. Later, I went to gym. Today was work out day. I came back, took a bath and then wrote this diary. I plan to watch TV episodes and then sleep by 2:00 am.

Diary 218: Office and Java Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:00 am. I woke up at 7:00 am, and got ready for office. I left for office at around 7:35 am, and reached office at around 9:20 am. I had some work but I decided to work on the Expert level problem. I was even thinking about the logic while travelling. So, I started with it and finally by mid-day, I was able to build a not-so-good algorithm based code. It passed 6 out of the required 10 test cases. So, my score was just 36 out of 100. Anyways, on another front, I started filling the Visa form with pencil. I tried to work on the schema analyzer thing but I was too lazy to try it again and again. It was too messed up. After random time pass in Office, I left for home at 5:20 pm. I was supposed to board the direct 6:15 train, but decided to track the more optimum way. So, I had to change the train three times and I arrived at CBD at 7:20 pm. I reached home, and realized that Alok had scored very high (99.34) in the Easy level, so I tried to catch up and I ended up just short of him (98.74). But, I was more concerned about the Medium level, because I was not able to figure out the missing test cases. Anyways, I went to gym. Today was work out day. I came back, watched TV and then had a bath. Also, today I got my reebok watch delivered, but I realized that it is not the watch that they said they would send. Also, the battery is dead and the back cover is old. I mailed 100bestbuy immediately and I am waiting for the reply. Later, I wrote this diary and now I plan to restart my laptop which has not been shut down since 2-3 weeks may be. I plan to sleep by 2:30 am.

Diary 217: No office and JAVA day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:00 am. I was chatting with Shatabdi for a long time and also coding in JAVA. Yes, as surprising it may seem, I was taking part in a contest hosted by techgig.com. Well, I had no prior intentions but as soon as I looked into the problem hosted in the Easy level, I jumped onto it. I solved it and submitted the solution. Out of the 10 test cases, it was able to pass 9. I don't know which test case failed. Anyways, all this helped me to get over the fact that Rishabh and Tanvi are getting married. I woke up today at around 7:45 am, and decided that I will not go to Office today. And surprisingly, Dad's office car met with an accident on the way here, and so even Dad had to go by some other means. Accident was medium in severity. Anyways, given that I solved the easy level, I moved on to the medium level. Well, the question was tricky this time, but I still moved on with the coding. At one point, I was stuck with the algorithm, but pretty soon I found my way out of it. In between, I also watched movies to keep my mind fresh and also not to get bogged down by too much thinking about it. Finally, after a day of ups and downs, I was able to crack it. I felt very happy about it. I was in seventh heaven. I realized that my present job challenges have contributed largely to this. Anyways, I went to the gym. Today was cardio day. I came back, had a bath and then wrote this diary. I tried another approach (String Tokenizer) in the easy level question but my marks got reduced so I re-submitted the old one. Anyways, now I plan to complete some movie and sleep by 2:00 am.

Diary 216: News and Office Day

Yesterday I slept at around 2:30 am. Today I woke up at around 8:00 am, and got ready for office. I left for office at around 8:50 am, and reached office at 11:00 am. I started working, and had a chat with Gil regarding the schema analyzer. I was ready to work again, when the whole sky fell on me. Tanvi pinged me , I guess for the first time on gmail and told me that She and Rishabh are getting married. I was kind of caught off guard and was not ready for such a blockbuster news. But, I handled it somehow and tried to move on. The whole time in office, I got sudden bursts of fear when I recall the moment she announced the news. I don't know why the news scared me. I guess it suddenly made me realize that the world will move on and will not wait for me. I will go on losing friends and life will leave me alone. I couldn't work properly in office but managed to push myself in the latter half. I left for home at around 5:10 pm, and reached Dad's office at 6:00 pm. Then, I reached home at around 7:20 pm. I didn't know how to tell my parents about the news and so I decided to defer it. Also, the date of wedding is 11th march and it is in ludhiana. I don't know whether I would be able to go. Anyways, I had some Tea and then pinged Shatabdi. I vented out my feelings to her and the discussion went on to reveal that she had oral sex. I didn't disclose my experiences but I told her that I would soon. Anyways, after that I left for gym after pre work out dinner. Today was work out day. I came back, took bath and wrote this diary. Next, I plan to watch some movie and then sleep by 2:00 am.

Diary 215: No office and Relaxing Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:00 am. Today I woke up at 10:00 am. I had plans to go to bank and to take photo, so I had my breakfast and got ready to go to the bank. Before that, I applied oil to my hair as my hair was looking ridiculous. But, then I realized that it was too much. Anyways, I left and got the bank statement. Then, I moved to the photo studio and got my photo clicked for the UK visa thing. I came back after a minor shopping from Food Bazaar. Meanwhile, in between, Ankit called me once and informed me that there is a call with Gil. I called up the US number for the conference but Gil said that it is not that important call and so I can bail out of it. Later, I came back home and started watching TV episodes. I had my lunch and then watched movies. I felt sleepy after some time and took a nap from 5:15 to 7:15 pm. I woke up, had some Tea and continued with the movies. Then, I left for gym early today and got the photos on the way. I came back at around 10:00 pm and took a bath. I had my post work out dinner and then started writing this diary. Next, I plan to watch some movie and then sleep by 2:00 am.

Diary 214: Relaxing and Cricket Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:45 am. Today I woke up at around 10:40 am. I brushed my teeth, had my breakfast and went online. I decided not to go to the salon and instead keep the hair left. Anyways, I started watching movies straightaway. I started watching a new TV series named "2 broke girls". I was starting to like it. Anyways, I had my lunch at around 2:00 pm, and then started watching the 5th ODI between India and WI. Well, three changes took place in the team as India had already sealed the series. Irfan pathan, manoj tiwary and ajinkya rahane got the caps for ashwin, vinay kumar and sehwag. Well, India won the toss and decided to bat first. The start was horrific with India losing 2 wickets in the first over itself. Rahane and Parthiv were back to pavilion with golden ducks. Then, Manoj and Gambhir took hold of the innings and guided India to a safe position. Although Gambhir got out, the momentum was kept alive by Kohli and Manoj. Finally, Manoj managed to score his maiden ODI century but had to leave the field due to injury. Towards the end, India seemed to lose its way because of some complacency and slow pitch. Anyways, India ended up with a descent score of 267/6 in their 50 overs. WI also started off terribly but later on they picked up pace with Pollard and Russell hitting rows of sixes out of the ground. Irfan Pathan was impressive on his come back with a wicket in the first ball he bowled. But, he was expensive in the later half and so India had to turn to its slower counterparts to get to the finish line. Pollard scored his maiden ODI century but finally got out with 34 runs to go. India won the series 4-1. Then, I left for gym which was practically empty today and returned by 10:30 pm. I took a bath and then wrote this diary. Now, I plan to watch some episodes and then sleep by 2:30 am. I will not go to Office tomorrow as I need to get the bank statement. 

Diary 213: Relaxing Day

Yesterday I slept at around 2:30 am. Today I woke up at 11:10 am. I felt good after sleeping so much after a long time. I brushed my teeth, and had my breakfast. Mom and Dad were out for some bank business. Later, I started working on the Code generator project and completed the first part of it. I mailed it and then had my lunch. Before that, I applied some oil on my hair, so that I can curb the bad hair look and maintain a cleaner look. The mid-day was spent on movies. Later, I learnt that the total lunar eclipse is going to occur today. At around 8:30 pm, I realized that it is the peak of the eclipse, and so started looking for the moon. I browsed the net for the immediate position of the moon, and was finally able to spot the moon in the clear night sky. It was just amazing. I saw the shadow the earth slowing receding from the moon's surface. I tried to capture it in the camera, but it was too far away. Anyways, I was spellbound by the experience. Later, I went to gym for the cardio and came back at around 10:15 pm. I watched the TV for a while, and then took a bath. I wrote the diary then, and now I plan to watch some movie and sleep by 2:30 am.

Diary 212: Office Day and Meeting Friends Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:00 am. Today I woke up at 8:00 am, and got ready for office. I was looking ridiculous with the hair cut but I managed to get over it. I reached the office at around 11:10 am, and started working straight away. I worked on the Schema Analyzer for the most of the time. Later, I got involved in the Code generator thing for a while. Also, Sushma informed me that she needs the UK Visa documents as soon as possible. I tried to get the Form 16 from deloitte, but it seems that it would take some time. After the office, I went on to Powai to meet divyansh and dallas. Shubham and Anisha were also there. All of them were shocked to see me as I had lost so much weight. Also, my hair style was adding to the factor that I was looking really thin. We had nice chit chat and moved to a restaurant named "Out of the Blue" for our dinner. Dallas was giving a treat to us, and the bill came out to be 3200. So, we contributed a little and Dallas paid the rest of it. Later, we dispersed. Divyansh and I tried to catch hold of some auto, but finally relied on the bus to take us to the nearby station-Vikhroli. One thing I forgot to mention was that, I saw and met many people from my past. I met kritin joshi. He was so happy to see me. It felt genuine. Also, I saw Amit daga and Chaitanya Raulkar. I also saw Deepti Dyondi, who was a MTech student and used to dance very well. On the way back home, it felt as if I saw another guy who was with me at IIT. I didn't pay much attention to it and moved on. I reached home at around 12:00 am, and browsed the net for a while. I had a chat with Shatabdi then, but later felt sleepy and slept at  2:30 am.

Diary 211: No office and Sehwag Day

Yesterday I slept at around 5:00 am. After I had a long chat with Shatabdi, I watched a movie. Today I woke up at around 9:40 am. I brushed my teeth, and went online. Then, we had a call with Gil. He explained us the new EMI work that had come in. Later, I started working on the schema analyzer thing. This went on till 2:00 pm. Then, I started searching for some movies and all. At 2:30 pm, I started watching the 4th ODI between India and WI. Well, nobody would have expected what would happen today after India didn't win the last match. India started off with a blast. Sehwag and Gambhir opened this time. The opening partnership was 176, before Sehwag confused Gambhir into a run out. The number 3 batsman was Raina, and he also scored a 50. Sehwag went on and on, and finally surpassed 200, to beat Sachin's ODI record of 200*. He ended with 219 off just 149 balls. Later, I had some Tea and continued watching the match. India ended up scoring a huge total of 418/5, which is the highest by India. WI started off the chase pretty well, but eventually lost too many wickets and ended up being 265 all out. I went to the gym meanwhile. Today was cardio day. I came back, watched TV, took a bath, and then wrote this diary. Next, I plan to watch some movie and sleep by 2:00 am. I will go to office tomorrow, and also plan to meet divyansh, dallas, shaurin and mangal.

Diary 210: Sister birthday, Office and frustration Day

Yesterday I slept at around 2:45 am. I woke up at around 8:00 am, and got ready for office. But before that, I woke up once at 4:30 am, only to find my sister awake and studying. I wished her then, and later realized that it was so early. Anyways, I reached office at around 11:15 am. I started working on the schema analyzer thing and completed it by mid-day. I was happy with it then. Later, I started watching the latest TV episodes. The frustration started then, when I realized that Sarvesh has also applied for ISB and that he is applying to more colleges also. He was asking rohit about the essays that he has written. Next, I got even more frustrated when Gil mailed Ankit to ask for two resources who had more than 3 years of experience, where I got completely singled out. Also, later in the day, the visa guy came in and somehow Mukund was in the room with him along with Ankit. It seems that the less experience is going to kill my fate even here. I will be the last choice for any onsite opportunity. I left from office at around 5:00 pm. On the way, I got mails from Gil saying that the output is still not correct, and that made me sad. I got home, celebrated sister's birthday with cake cutting and eating, and then started working on the code. I found the mistake but new problems crept up. I mailed it to Gil, but I still have to work on it. I went to gym and came back. Today was work out day. I ate special dinner after that, and then started working again. Then, I completed the latest episodes and had a chat with Alok and shatabdi. Later, I wrote this diary. Now, I plan to watch a movie and then sleep by 3:30 am. I will not go to office tomorrow.

Diary 209: Office and Dev anand no more Day

Yesterday I slept at around 2:00 am. Before going to bed, I came to know that Dev Anand, the evergreen star is no more. Today I woke up at around 7:00 am, and got ready for office. I left home at around 7:30 am, and reached the office at around 9:40 am. I was the first one to reach, and hence I had to open the office door. I started watching the latest episodes before everyone arrived and we started working on the EMI project. Well, I was at my best today and was able to understand everything in the code. It felt nice, and everyone else seemed a bit out of touch. Well, I made the changes very quickly and even helped Ankit and Mukund in the other internal project. Working on the schema analyzer, my concepts regarding XML have certainly improved a lot. Anyways, I left for home at around 5:20 pm. In between, lots of design suggestions were mailed by the developer and I gave prompt feedback on them. Later, I came back home and worked on the schema analyzer for a while. I sent an updated output file to Gil, and he replied. I found out that there are still some issues with it, but later realized that the input files are messy too. Anyways, I had some maggi after a long time and left for gym. Today was cardio day. My weight seems to have stagnated close to 76. Anyways, I am not worried about it now. I feel better now. I came back, had some post work out dinner after the bath. Then, I worked on the code again, and wrote this diary. Now, I plan to watch a movie and then sleep by 2:00 am.

Diary 208: Movies and India Losing Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:30 am. I woke up today at 10:20 am. I brushed my teeth, and started watching movies immediately. I completed a few movies and then looked at the code for a while, but decided to take a break from the code. I had my breakfast and continued with the movies. Later, I had my lunch and started watching the 3rd ODI between India and WI. India started off well but then somehow lost the way completely in the end. WI were able to reach 260 by scoring 93 runs in the last 7 overs. India's batting was terrible in the beginning. Sehwag, Gambhir, Virat - everyone failed. Rohit sharma stood out but still couldn't reach his 100 due to some lazy running between the wickets. Anyhow, after 106/6, India managed to reach 244/10, and lost by 16 runs. In between, I went to gym. Today was work out day. Well, today I spoke to a girl in the gym for the first time. It was not a informal talk though. She just asked whether I was in line to use the weights. Later, our hands touched when we exchanged the weights. Sorry, it has been long time since I had some interaction with a girl, and that's why I am giving up so many details. :). Anyways, I came back, had a bath and then wrote this diary. Now, I plan to complete the movies and then sleep by 1:30 am. 

Diary 207: Movies and Work Day

Yesterday I slept at around 4:00 am. Today I woke up at around 11:00 am. I brushed my teeth, and then had my breakfast. I went online and started working on the code for Schema Analyzer again. I made some progress on serializing the html file about of it, but still there are some changes required. I stopped after sometime and started watching movies. The lunch was good today. Roasted Chicken, Baingaan Bharta, and Roti. After lunch, I had a chit chat session with my sister and then later I slept. I woke up and continued with the movies. I was watching "127 hours". I later realized that it was based on a true story and had every detail captured. I love it when movies are not bloated to sell. After that I left for the gym. Today was cardio day. I came back, took a bath and then went online again. I played the guitar for a while. I am trying to play carnatic riffs as played by bands such as Motherjane. I hope that one day I can learn guitar properly. Anyways, then I wrote the diary and now I plan to watch the movies and then sleep by 3:00 am.

Diary 206: Unusual Work Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:00 am. Today I woke up at around 10:00 am. I had my breakfast and then went online. I browsed some random links here and there, and then decided to watch movies. While the movies were being loaded, I tried my hands on the code for the schema analyzer. I had to change it drastically to make it work. So, I started with it and pretty soon I was completely dissolved in it. I forgot about the movies and worked all the way through. Also, I called up at the developer's office to get a status update on the webpage design etc. I wanted to get a demo of the software, but it seems that they are busy. Later, I had my lunch and then I continued working on it. I played solitaire in between to keep my brain alive. Also, I browsed through movies and started loading them. Later, I had some Tea and started watching the TV. There was a youth debate going on TIMES NOW channel. The topic was "Reservation: Should it be time bound?". There were some distinguished panelists alongside youth. The audience contributed nicely to the debate in the end. It was a good discussion, but obviously there was no conclusion. Later, I left for the gym after my pre-work out dinner. The gym was pretty empty today, but I hurried through the work-out and finished it within 45 minutes. Today I had to go on foot, because someone parked the vehicle awkwardly and so I couldn't get the car out. Anyways, I came back and started watching TV. Then, I had a head oil-massage and went to bath. I came back and started working on the code again. Then, I wrote this diary. I realized that I have made good progress on the code changes and I learnt a lot in the process. Next, I will work on the code for a while and then watch some movie and sleep by 3:00 am.

Diary 205: No Office and Cricket Day

Yesterday I slept at around 2:30 am. Today I woke up at around 9:45 am, and went online. I had stopped working on the earlier project and was waiting for a feedback from Gil, which never came. Anyways, I started watching movies and playing solitaire. I had my breakfast in between. Till the lunch time, nothing special happened. At around 2:30 pm, the 2nd ODI match between India and WI started. Well, the match was going India's way till 170/9 but then it was disaster. Rampaul scored 86* and took WI to 269/9. Everybody was in shock, but anyways, I still hoped that India would chase it down. Meanwhile, on the job front, we had a call with Gil where he explained the new project and also clarified doubts regarding the internal projects. Well, it seems that my work is far from over and I need to work on it now to handle multiple files at once. It will be a tough job. Anyways, India started chasing and it was not good. India lost 2 quick wickets and Sehwag was also on his way then. After that, Virat and Rohit played fabulously and took India home. Virat scored a century. In between, I went to gym, had a quick cardio and came back at around 10:20 pm. Later, I took a bath, had my post work out dinner and then wrote this diary. Now I plan to complete the movies and then sleep by 3:00 am. 

Diary 204: Return of Diary and Job Day

Well, I am returning to this blog after a long gap. The reasons were Goa Trip and ISB application. I did this to save time and create less distraction. That's why there are some updates. The Goa trip was awesome, and I took a lot of photos. I haven't uploaded them yet but I plan to do so soon. Also, I submitted my application to ISB on 29th. I don't know whether I will get an interview call or not, but at least a big tension is out of my head. Next, significant changes happened in the designs of the website. I designed the whole thing now and it looks good. Also, on the job front, Gil came to mumbai and we all had a nice time. Now, we are all very busy with internal projects. I partially completed one of them and now I am starting with another. Also, I dared to ask for recommendation from Gil, and he was a bit sad to know that I applied. Anyways, coming back to today. I woke up at around 7:45 am, and got ready for office. I left with my dad at around 9:00 am, and reached my office at around 10:45 am. There was some work and so I started working on that. Later, we all went through some resumes and decided on the candidate to hire. Also, Sarvesh took an interview today and I was also sitting alongside. It felt good to be on the other side. After the office hours, I left for home at around 5:00 pm. I reached Bandra, and later home at around 7:30 pm. I worked on the way back home too, so I was free now, and started watching the loaded movie. Then, I had my pre work-out dinner and left for gym. Today was workout day and I returned at 10:30 pm. Then, I decided to write the diary finally after completing the movie. Also, I had a chat with Shatabdi after a long time, and that too though my phone, and so I was multi-tasking with blogging and chatting. Next, I plan to watch another movie and then sleep by 3:00 am. I will not go to office tomorrow.

Diary 203: No Office and Job Day

Yesterday I slept at around 1:30 am. Today I woke up at 9:30 am, and brushed my teeth. I went online and informed Ankit that I will not come to office but will work on the assigned task. So, I started working on that while watching the third test match between India and WI, which is taking place at Mumbai. The major part of the day went on like this. Then I had my lunch at around 3:00 pm. At around 5:00 pm, I stopped working and then started watching the latest episodes of the TV serials. Then, I had some snacks and Tea at around 6:30 pm. Then, we decided to watch the movie : Moner Manush, but had to leave it in between as I had to go to Gym. I was afraid that the Goa trip might have added some weight, but my weight was still around 76, so I was happy. Then, I came back and ate biryani, and tasted Kaju Feni. Well, it tasted very bad but Dadai became a fan of it. He was out obviously as they all finished 1 bottle of Feni. Later, I moved to my room, and transferred the photos to my computer. Then, I wrote this diary and now I will watch the latest episodes for a while and then sleep by 2:00 am.

Diary 202: Goa Day 1

Yesterday I slept at around 1:00 am. I woke up at 4:25 am. I got ready to leave for Goa. We all were quite excited. We reached panvel on time and comfortably boarded the train. It was a chair car and so, I had to sleep in the sitting way. And so my experience with local trains came in handy. We ate a variety of things and it caused a lot of confusion etc. The train journey was quite peaceful and we reached Madgaon at 2:00 pm. We had lunch then, but the station's hotel was not that good. Then, we reached our hotel and relaxed for a while. Later, we left to visit a beach named Colva beach. We had lot of fun at the beach. Lots of photographs were taken by me. Then we had some snacks and head back to the hotel. There, everyone except for me and my sister started drinking scotch. I also had some and it was too little to cause any effect. Later we left for dinner and dispersed to sleep as everyone was too tired after the journey. I wrote this diary in my phone.

Diary 201: Office, work and Dinner Day

Yesterday I slept at around 2:00 am. Today I woke up at around 6:50 am, and got ready for Office. My dad was also coming with me as he had to adjust the kilometers for yesterday's bombay trip for my dadai and didai. Anyways, we boarded the train on time and I reached the office at around 9:40 am. I started working and watching the ongoing test match between India and WI. WI fought back pretty nicely and were going very smoothly. But then the match turned tide when bravo got out.

Well, I ate my breakfast and left for the movie. I met divyansh after few months. He acknowledged that I have lost weight and then we went in. Well, I don't know how to say it, but this movie is the worst movie ever made. SRK's everything was bad, and I didn't expect this much even in my worst nightmares.

I started watching the match between India and England that time. After lunch, I started multi-tasking between work and the match. India started off quietly but then lost three wickets in quick succession. Somehow, due to some late hitting by Dhoni, India managed to reached 271 in their 50 overs. Raina contributed too. We had a client call at around 5:30 pm, where we informed them that everything is complete except for one issue. Later, I again started watching the match. England were off to a fantastic start. At one point they were 129/0 in about 20 overs. Suddenly they collapsed like pack of cards and were all out for 176. India took the revenge for the England series. White wash it is. Dhoni was the man of the series and Jadeja was the man of the match. I left for Gym after that. It was cardio day. I returned home at around 10:30 pm, and then took a bath, and had my post work out meal. Then, I wrote this diary. Now I plan to study and then sleep at around 3:30 am.

Diary 178: Work and Timepass Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:15 am. I took another test and scored good in Quant but didn't clear the cut off in Verbal. Today I woke up at around 10:20 am. I got a call from Sarvesh straightaway, where he asked about the updates from my side. After that, I brushed my teeth, and went online. I started working on the pending tasks and was in constant touch with Sarvesh regarding the updates. I completed my work and started watching the latest episodes of CSI:Miami and Dexter. I had my lunch at around 2:45 pm, and then again started working. The multi-tasking went on till afternoon. We had a call with the client at around 5:30 pm, where we got our doubts cleared. After that, I started working again on some new task. At around 8:30 pm, I had some paani puri followed by my pre work out dinner. At around 9:30 pm, I left for gym. Today, a new work out card was issued to me. Today was unfortunately the work out day. I got some new exercises to handle. All consisted of dumbbells, and my arms were screaming after the exercises. I returned home at around 10:50 pm, and had a bath followed by post work out dinner. Then, I wrote this diary. Now, I plan to study and then sleep by 3:30 am. Also, today was my grandfather's birthday and we all wished him.

Diary 177: ISB and Cricket Day

Yesterday I slept at around 5:00 am. I took another test and still no relief. Anyways, today I woke up at around 11:00 am. I brushed my teeth, and went online. I mailed Sarvesh and Rohit that I had completed my part of the work, and now it is up to them. Then, I took a bath and got ready to leave for the ISB PGP Info session at Cuffe Parade (near CST). I left with my mom and dad, as they were leaving for some minor shopping. I boarded the train from CBD, and then reached CST at around 2:15 pm. I reached the hotel at around 2:30 pm, and got myself seated there. I found a few familiar faces there but I didn't bother them. The session was very good, and I came to know something new about the placements at ISB i.e. how the companies are approached and how the salary negotiations take place. Also, the notion of international placements was clear. Meanwhile, there was a match going on between India and England, not very far away from where I was. But, after the session, I left for home, and reached home at around 6:20 pm. On the way, I had one burger and Veg pizza mcpuff from McDonald's. About the match, India were able to regain control after the initial outburst by England, and restricted England to only 220. I started watching the match then. India didn't start off that well, and lost 3 wickets in no time. But Virat and Raina pulled things back, and led India to another victory, making the lead 4-0 in this series. Then, I left for gym. Today was Cardio Day. I came back, and had a bath. Then, I wrote this diary, and next I plan to study, and sleep by 3:30 am.

Diary 176: More Work and Time Pass Day

Yesterday I slept at around 4:20 am. I took a test and was devastated by the result. Anyways, today I woke up at around 11:15 am. Today was more or less a boring day. I brushed my teeth, went online, replied to few of the mails sent by the client, and then started watching YouTube videos. Also, today was Divyansh's birthday, so I wished him and also was shocked to know that he is in Mumbai. He was suffering from fever, and so he head back home 2 days back. Later, I had my lunch at around 2:00 pm, and then had a discussion with Akshay through mails regarding the designs of the website. We both were unhappy, and so I informed Vaibhav too. Vaibhav asked me to meet him and also bring in the team members along with me. I don't know how is that possible. Anyways, I started working on the pending tasks on the job front. I realized that there is lot of work remaining, and since no one is there, I have to do it. I continued working till late evening. At around 8:30 pm, I had my pre work out dinner and then went to gym at around 9:30 pm. Today was work out day. I came back at around 10:30 pm, and started watching the TV show - Dadagiri. My favorite round was up then - Googly. I was able to answer 2 of them, and the rest were lame. Later, I had my bath and post work out dinner. Next, I wrote this diary and now I plan to study. I plan to sleep by 3:30 am.

Diary 175: Job Day

Yesterday I slept at around 1:30 am. I didn't took the test I was supposed to take because I was feeling very sleepy that time. Today I woke up at around 9:45 am. I went online and started working on the pending tasks. As yesterday, today also, the work was piling up quicker than anticipated, and so it was going out of control. Also, Ankit didn't contribute at all, and left everything in between. Ankit was the invisible resource on the project. Anyways, Sarvesh and I started working on the various aspects and had numerous calls within us. I had my lunch at around 2:00 pm. My mom had gone to some kitty party. After that I continued working till late afternoon. At around 7:00 pm, I left for the nutritionist's appointment. My weight was 77.2 Kgs but my fat % was 27.2, and my BMR got reduced to 1783. Anyways, by this time, my mom, dad and sister had left for some party at Hyatt. I preferred to stay back due to work and other reasons. I worked till 9:00 pm, then ate my pre work out dinner and left for gym at around 9:30 pm. I had my fitness test done today where I performed ok. I came back after simple cardio, had a bath and then wrote this diary. Now, I plan to wait for my family to come back, and then sleep by 1:30 am. I am feeling sleepy today also.

Diary 174: Job and Series Win Day

Yesterday I slept at around 4:30 am. I took another test and again I didn't clear the cut off. Today I woke up at around 10:20 am, and went online. I realized that nobody has come online yet, and so I started looking into other aspects of work. Pretty soon, I and Sarvesh started analyzing the missing tables and all. We got into lots of problem, and it was now up to me to change the code to help the cause. It was frustrating but somehow I managed to complete it by Lunch time. I had my lunch at around 3:00 pm. By that time, the cricket match between India and England had started, and so I started multi-tasking. India started off well with the bowling, but then England made a recovery and reached 298 in their 50 overs. Meanwhile, I booked the tickets for all of us for the Goa Trip, including return trip. I watched the match throughout the day. I checked some mails in between, but my mind was fixed at the result of the match, because a win in this would ensure a series win for India. India started their chase nicely and placed themselves at a nice place in the middle overs. But then the wickets started falling, and it was down to Dhoni. I left for gym in disappointment, but watched the last overs of the match there. In one line, Dhoni saved India again. He scored 35-40 odd in a quick time to reach 300 in 49.2 overs. Then, I came back, and watched the first episode of "Dadagiri" (now hosted by Mithun Chakarborty unfortunately). After that I took a bath, and started writing this post. Now, I plan to watch the latest episode of House and then study. I plan to sleep by 4:15 am.

Diary 173: No Office but lots of work Day

Yesterday I slept at around 4:15 am. I took another test where I scored 94 but still couldn't clear the cut off in either section. Anyways, today I woke up at around 10:20 am. I went online, and saw that there was flurry a e-mails from both client and team members. I started working immediately. I had lot of calls in between with Sarvesh. He was also working on the same thing. Somehow, I felt that Mukund was again not giving his 100% to the project. He asked simple doubts etc. Later, I had my lunch at around 2:40 pm. After lunch, I continued working on the same. At around 3:30 pm, I completed my part and passed it on to Sarvesh. Then, I was feeling too sleepy and so I dozed off. I got few calls from Sarvesh in between and I handled them somehow. I got up at around 5:50 pm, and realized that I have missed the call with Gotham. I started working again after some Tea. The work was frustrating, but once done, it would open up lots of doors of improvement, and so I continued. I ate my pre work out dinner at around 8:45 pm, and went to gym at 9:40 pm. All the time, I was working on the same thing. I returned from Gym early, and started working again. After a lot of head banging and typing, I finally completed it and passed it on to Sarvesh. He, then, started working on it and will most probably complete it by tonight. Next, I plan to watch the TV episode of House and then study. I plan to sleep by 4:00 am.

Diary 172: Odd Office Day

Yesterday I slept at around 12:30 am. Today, I woke up at around 7:45 am, took a bath, and got ready for office. Then, I left with my Dad at around 9:00 am, and reached the office at 11:10 am. Ankit reached office after me, and we all started working. There were some issues cropping up and we dealt with it, and also there were many doubts regarding the mapping document and all. So, we decided to make few of the changes and then ask the doubts. Later, at around 2:30 pm, the internet stopped working and so we all were stuck. Then, we decided to just roam around for a while. We all went to the Mall nearby and started shopping. I bought a new pair of earphones. After all this, we left for home. I reached home at around 6:15 pm. Meanwhile, I missed a call with Gotham in between because of the journey thing. That's why I decided that I will not go to office tomorrow. Later, I watched the TV for a while and then started watching the latest episodes of HIMYM, Gossip Girl and TAHM. At around 8:30 pm, I had my pre work out dinner and later left for gym at 9:30 pm. Today was cardio day. I returned at around 10:30 pm. Again today, I couldn't take a bath. I ate one apple and then started watching the TV episodes again. I wrote this diary then, and next I plan to complete the episodes and then study. I plan to sleep by 3:30 am.

Diary 171: No office or study day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:30 am. I took one of the mock tests and I didn't score well, so I was disappointed. Anyways, today I woke up at around 10:00 am, and went online. There was no supply of water from CIDCO. I had my usual breakfast and then I started working. I realized that due to lack of communication between us, I and Rohit were working on the same thing. Anyways, I asked Rohit to continue with the work and I decided to keep my work as a back up. Later, I started watching the match between India and England. India started off tremendously well and dominated throughout. England were all out for 237, and thus India had an easy total to chase down. Meanwhile, my mom handed me a letter from my sister where she explained that what she did yesterday was her fault and that she won't let it happen again. It was a good eye opener for her. Anyways, I had my lunch and then continued watching the match. Late evening, I had some Tea and then had my pre work out dinner. By this time, India were already in a very safe position, and thus I went to gym peacefully. I returned at around 10:30 pm. I couldn't take my bath because there was no water supply. Then, I wrote this diary from my Ipod because my Dad is using my laptop to look for trains and hotels for the Goa Trip in November. I plan to sleep now as I want to go to Office tomorrow. This is my first post from Ipod.

Diary 170: Bad AIMCAT and Sister issue Day

Yesterday I slept at around 4:00 am. I took a test and the marks were horrible as usual. I woke up today at around 12:00 pm. I had an AIMCAT today so I went online, and started practicing some questions from the website. Later I watched the TV for a while, and then had my lunch at around 2:40 pm. I left home for Vashi at around 3:00 pm, and on reaching the test center realized that there is no electricity there. So, I took the access code from them, and then head back home. I started the test at around 4:00 pm at home, and ended it at 6:30 pm. I scored 76, but scored only 30 in the first section. The number of attempts were too less to score any. The number of mistakes has come down to 11, but still my strength area was not utilized properly. Anyways, I started watching the ongoing cricket match between SA and Aus. It was a T20, so it was exciting. Meanwhile, my sister had gone downstairs to meet her friends and all, but she didn't return on time. It was already 8 pm, and this made my Dad very angry. Also, she was spotted with a guy, and this caused the anger to rise even more. Earlier, she had denied any links with him, but now she was caught red-handed. I went downstairs and asked her to come back. On reaching back home, she was scolded a lot by my parents and her access to chatting and facebook was banned for now. May be she learns a lesson this time. Although, I know that she is bound to find a way out of it. Anyways, with all the drama, I kept quite all the time, and let my parents handle the issue. Later, I went to gym and returned at around 10:30 pm. I took the bath, and decided to ponder over some questions in Quant. Next, I wrote this diary and now I plan to sleep by 1:00 am. I am still double minded about going to office tomorrow, but I will leave it for later. 

Diary 169: Feasthunt and Study Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:45 am. Today I woke up at around 11:45 am. I brushed my teeth, and went online. I checked my mails and all. I decided to take one of the sectional tests. I scored an okay 45 in that. By that time, it was already lunch time and I had my lunch at around 2:45 pm. After that I watched the TV for a while, and then called up Vaibhav to know whether he is free or not. Then I went there and discussed various design changes and also got some ideas about business licensing and all. It opened up a lot of interesting facts about various types of companies. I learned that I don't need to copyright the website. I can willfully put a copyright on the bottom since it was me who built it. Anyways, after all this, I got a call from Dad, and he asked to me come to some place to pick him up. It was almost 3 hours since I left home, and I used the time productively. I returned home at around 7:15 pm. I had some Tea and then watched the TV for a while. Then, we all had a discussion about the Rationing system in India, where I learned how the Ration Card works. I never used one because I never needed one. Later, I had my pre-work out dinner and then went to Gym. It was workout day. I returned home and had my bath. Then, I had my post work out dinner and then wrote this diary. Next, I plan to study and then sleep by 3:45 am. Also, today was Naman's birthday and I wished him during the late hours of the day.

Diary 168: Office and odd AIMCAT Day

Yesterday I slept at around 12:00 am. I slept early as I was planning to go to Office, the next day. Today I woke up first at 6:30 am, only to find out that everyone is sleeping and hence I cannot possibly leave for office, and then at 7:30 am, to get ready for office. I left with my Dad at around 8:35 am. I reached office quite late, due to heavy traffic at around 11:30 pm. The new project had started, so we were looking at a new to-do list. Some of the tasks were trivial for now, but some needed more information from the client. So, I and Ankit discussed the same with Gotham, and we got the information that was required. Later, I started watching the cricket match between India and England online. India started off poorly and scored at a run rate of around 4, but later I found out that Raina and Dhoni scored hefty, and took India to 300/7 in 50 overs. Meanwhile, I reached home at around 8:00 pm. I found out that one set of duplicate keys for home is with Bodomimi. She took it away to Hyderabad by mistake. Then, I watched the match, and soon realized that England's reply is not going to be enough. Finally, India won the match by a huge margin of 126 runs. Later, I had my pre work out dinner, and went to gym. I returned, had a bath, and then waited for mom and dad to sleep. Then, I took an AIMCAT. The results were really odd. I got 35 in the quants section and 49 in the second section. Although I cleared individual cut offs, I didn't clear the overall cut off. There were only 6 mistakes, but the number of attempts was very less. After that, I wrote this diary, and now I plan to sleep by 3:45 am.

Diary 167: No Office and Many Tests Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:30 am. I took another AIMCAT and that was bad too. It was just a feeble improvement. Today I woke up at around 10:00 am. I went online, checked the mails and started working on the same problem as yesterday. I got a ping from Ankit, and he asked me whether I was at home or not. Then, I spoke with Gil about the problem so that he doesn't forget me completely. Sarvesh was also working on that, and was kind of stuck at the same place. Anyways, after this, I decided to take sectional tests. I took around 4 of them, and scored bad in 3 of them. It was Quant, so it was more frustrating. I even thought of taking an AIMCAT, but later realized that the DOE project is starting again, and has an introduction call in the evening. So, I ditched the idea. Anyways, after the first three sectional tests, which went bad, I took the fourth one with all my power, and the test was somewhat better. In general, the tests were very lengthy and the DI part was extremely tough. Later, in the evening, I attended the call. We got the requirements from them, and were ready to roll. Tomorrow, I will go to Office and hopefully be more productive than before. Later, I had my pre work out dinner, and moved to gym. At gym, it was work out day, and I managed to complete all of them. Then, I came back, and took a bath. I wrote this diary, and now I plan to sleep by 11:45 pm.

Diary 166: No Office Day and Bad AIMCAT Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:00 am. I had a long chat with an old friend - Shatabdi. I woke up at around 9:30 am. I informed Ankit that I will not come. Then, I started working on some new problem that Gil had mentioned in one of the mails. Then, I decided that I will take the AIMCAT at 3:00 pm, instead of 9:00 pm. The link was already available, and I was kind of looking forward to it. Anyways, I worked on the problem for a while, but got stuck. Then, I started watching some of the TV episodes. Later, I had my lunch at around 2:00 pm, and then took some rest. I slept for a while, and woke up at around 3:20 pm. I started the test at around 3:35 pm, and ended it at around 5:50 pm. Well, I was shocked to see the number of mistakes in Quant. It was 7, and overall mistakes were 21. Although I scored 31 in english, my quant score went down to 38. It was disappointing. I was sad again, but recovered. I decided to take all this seriously now. I will try to reduce the number of mistakes next time, and also increase my attempts in Quant. This time I struggled a lot with Quant in terms of timing. Then, I had an appointment with the dietitian. Jyoti was unavailable, and so her senior came in. She was kind of strict, and reminded me of hitler. She didn't pay attention to the 7 kgs I lost, and instead put me on a strict diet. I returned home, had the same old debate with my parents regarding the diet plan, and then pondered over my performance in the exam. I decided that I will not waste time now. I went to gym later, and changed my cardio style a bit. I returned home, took a bath, and then wrote this diary. Now, I plan to complete the TV episode and then study. I plan to sleep by 3:00 am.

Diary 165: Early Office Day 2

Yesterday I slept at around 1:00 am. Today I woke up at 6:30 am. I was very late already but somehow I managed to get ready and leave by 7:00 am. I reached the station on time and boarded the right train. I reached office quite early, at around 8:40 am, but there was no one there. Finally, Ankit arrived at around 9:40 am. I worked on the essays a bit, and then roamed around. I realized that Zomato's office is at the same floor as ours. Anyways, we started working on whatever came through. My brain was not working at all, and my productivity was at all time low. I was asking stupid questions and all. I decided that I will leave early today too. I wrote a few mails here and there, and then finally left the office at around 3:45 pm. I reached home at around 5:50 pm. I went online, and decided to watch the latest episodes of HIMYM, TAHM and Gossip Girl. Before that, I played the guitar for a while. Later, I watched the TV episodes and then was ready to go to the gym. Today was Lakshmi Puja, and hence my parents invited a few guests to serve the prasad. I also ate the same as my pre work out dinner. Today was workout day. My weight is still touching 80, and now has officially stopped reducing. Anyways, I returned home, and took a bath. Then, I wrote this diary. Now, I plan to complete the TV episodes and then sleep by 2:00 am or so. Also, I forgot to mention yesterday that Jagjit Singh is no more. He died yesterday of brain hemorrhage and his voice will be missed.

Diary 164: Early Office Day

Yesterday I slept at around 2:00 am. Today I woke up at around 6:00 am. I got ready for office and left home after breakfast at around 6:35 am. I reached the station on time and then boarded the train for Andheri. I reached the office at around 8:30 am, only to find the door locked. I waited for Ankit to come, but during that time, I started thinking about the essays. Then, Ankit arrived and the work started. As usual, very less productive work was going on in Office. Ankit seemed lost, and most of us were more worried about the PF that was cut from our salary for the last few months. Anyways, I somehow managed to pass through the office and then decided to leave early at around 4:00 pm. Luckily I managed to catch the trains right on time at both Andheri and Wadala stations. I reached home at around 5:45 pm. I went online, and checked out the solutions to the Bad AIMCAT that I had yesterday. I realized that I made a lot of mistakes in the LA section of the section II. I was surprised to see so many mistakes and hence realized the reason for so many negatives. Anyways, I also found that two of the questions were wrongly evaluated, and hopefully my marks would increase by 8. Although it doesn't matter much, but still it gives me some confidence. Later, I watched the latest episode of the Dexter, and then ate my pre work out dinner. I moved to gym at 9:30 pm, and returned at around 10:30 pm. Today, I saw some new treadmills in the gym. Anyways, I had a bath, and my post work out dinner. Now, I plan to complete the episode and then sleep by 1:00 am.

Diary 163: Bad AIMCAT Day

Yesterday I slept at around 2:30 am. Today I woke up at around 11:15 am. I brushed my teeth, and went online. I felt terrible because there was no chaos in the home now. Everything was quiet. My Dad seemed fine. I started practicing a bit for the AIMCAT which was scheduled at 3:30 pm. I didn't practice Quant. I took some tests in verbal and I scored okay. At least my mind was refreshed a bit. Later, the pest control guy arrived and smoked the house. We already had our lunch before that. I left with my Dad at around 3:05 pm. I reached the center at 3:20 pm. I started my test and literally hurried through the Quant section. The verbal section seemed easy but the result showed something totally unexpected. I scored 60 in Quant with only 3 mistakes, and 19 in the second section with 17 mistakes. I was terribly disappointed. My dad was there to pick me up. I came back after some grocery shopping. Then, I wrote this post. Although I am disappointed, I will try to score again, so that I cross the limits for some other B Schools other than IIMs. Next, I plan to have some Tea, and then watch the match between MI and RCB - the final. Later, I will go to gym, and then sleep early since I have to reach office at 9:00 am.

Diary 162: Bodomama and Bodomimi leaving Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:30 am. We were chatting about various things till late night. MBA was also one of them, and I tried to get some inputs from Bodomama. Today I woke up at around 12:30 pm. Bodomimi and Bodomama were going to leave for Hyderabad today. I went online, checked my mails etc. After that I started watching the videos and pictures that I took during the Durga Puja. We all listened to the songs sung by Rupankar. Later, we gathered for Lunch. After that, we started watching the TV and looked for some movie. Luckily, an awesome movie - Chillar party, was going on. I convinced everyone to watch it and not go by the name. Bodomimi backed me up with a statement that it won an award in some film festival. After the movie was done with, it was time for Bodomama and Bodomimi to leave. They left at around 6:30 pm. Then, I went online again, realized that I forgot to wish Shaurin on his birthday (5th Oct). Then, I watched the latest TV episodes of BBT, HIMYM and TAHM. Later, I started watching the semi-final match between MI and Somerset. Well, the first half was kind of boring, but the second half was interesting to watch. Malinga took 4 wickets and took the match away from Somerset. So, it is now MI vs RCB in the final. Meanwhile, I went to Gym after my pre work out dinner and returned at around 10:40 pm. I had my bath, and had my post work out dinner after the match. Then, I started writing this post, and now I plan to watch the TV episodes of Castle and CSI Miami. I plan to sleep by 2:30 am.

Diary 161: Broto Leaving Day

Diary 160: Durga Puja Ends Day

Yesterday I slept at around 2:30 am. Today I woke up at around 10:30 am. I brushed my teeth, and was ready for breakfast. I checked my mails in between, and there was nothing new for me. Most of the day was a lazy day for us. We were tired after the celebrations which were going on for the last few days. 

Diary 159: Durga Puja day 5 and Steve Jobs dies day

Diary 158: Durga Puja Day 4

Diary 157: Durga Puja Day 3

Yesterday I slept at around 1:45 am. Today I woke up at around 8:45 am. I brushed my teeth, and ate my breakfast. My mom had to go to the puja pandal. So, I got ready. Also, I had to get the inverter to the shop. After dropping off my mom to the pandal, I went to the shop. The shopkeeper told me that the inverter is gone, and cannot be repaired. So, I consulted with my Dad and decided to buy a new one. After that I came back home, and got ready to go to the puja pandal again. At around 1 pm, I, bodomimi and my sister left for the puja pandal. There, we saw the "banglar bodhur" program. It was fun. Then, I decided to eat lunch, since I had to be at home for the inverter. I reached home just in time. The shop people came in ,and fitted the inverter. Then, everyone came in and also my cousin brother. He also lost weight in college. Then, I decided to go to gym as I missed it yesterday. I ran for around 11 minutes today ( 8 + 3). Then, I returned home, took a bath, and got ready to move. We hired an innova for our journey today. We went to Thane, Kalwa and visited the old home where my bodomama and bodomimi used to live. It was nostalgic. I captured those places in my SLR. We moved from pandal to pandal, ate fish chops etc. We moved to Vashi then, and ate a full fledged dinner - Lollipops, Chicken Rolls, Ice cream etc. I ate after a long time. I didn't like it that much, but I enjoyed the change. Later, we all headed home, and reached at around 12:00 am. Tired, we just let our bodies go. Some of us were awake till 2:30 am, and had a nice chit chat. I slept at around 2:45 am.

Diary 156: Durga Puja Day 2

Yesterday I slept at around 1:30 am. Today I woke up at around 10:00 am. I brushed my teeth, and had my usual breakfast. Fortunately, there was no load shedding today. We had plans to go to Dombivili and Thakurli to meet Bodomama's old friends. So, we all got ready for that. I took a bath too, and was ready to go. My dad wanted to drive the new car for the long ride so that he could test the performance of the car. So, we started the journey. It was fun. Listening to music, singing, and talking about childhood. Then, we reached Dombivali, where everyone seemed to remember my childhood. Initially, it was tough for me to identify them, but after looking at few of the old pictures, I recognized them. I loved it there. There was so much intimacy among them, it reminded me of those good old times, when we really laughed and smiled our worries away. When expectations didn't win the battle over tensions. Anyways, we had a good lunch, and even got a chance to take a power nap. We moved from one house to other, and visited two Puja pandals. I got a call from Rahul bajaj, who informed me that Himanshu Asnani's Dad had expired about 1 year ago. I was shocked to hear that. I informed my mom and dad too. I met many people from my past, and tried to remember the name "minti". Somehow, I remember that she was one of my friends during that time. But I am not so sure, and now it doesn't even matters. Finally, we left dombivali and moved towards kharghar. On the way, we met one of my father's contractor - Bhuvan, who arranged for our food etc. Bodomama was extremely hungry and hence he got his wish at last. We ate and then left for home. After some wrong turns and missed turns, we finally reached home. Today was a fantastic day. Also, my cousin brother - Broto is coming tomorrow. It seems that he is living the college life I never lived. I feel good for him. I wish I also had that life. But anyways, now I am happy and should be satisfied with what I got. Then, I wrote this post, and now I plan to sleep by 2:00 am.
