Diary 57: Meeting Alok Day

Yesterday I slept at around 4:30 am. Today I woke up at around 11:30 am, with a phone call from Ankit. My voice was cracked that time so it helped my caused to the avoidance of office. Anyways, Ankit asked me to follow up on the DX plugin installation. I woke up, brushed my teeth, had some Tea and then composed a mail to Gil telling him about the problem I am facing in installation. Then, I moved back to JAVA. I was multi-tasking between TV episodes and JAVA coding. After some time I got a message from Alok, saying that he is near kharghar. So, I called him up and told him to get down at Vashi. Then, I told my mom that I am leaving for Vashi. Today she cooked Chicken for dinner, but I told her that I will have that in my dinner. Anyways, I left for Vashi and finally met him near KFC at InOrbit Mall. He had the same pony tail which I saw in the video chat once. Well, before eating at KFC, we roamed around the mall a bit, and also went into the Kid's zone to play some Arcade games. It was fun. I even took my SLR with me, and took a few snaps with that. Then, after the lunch at KFC, Alok left for IIT and I left for home. It was planned that we will meet again later for another session. So, I went back home, uploaded the photos on facebook and picasa, watched TV episodes and relaxed a bit. Then, at around 5 pm, I got a call from Alok that his job is done, and we can meet. So, we decided to go for a movie. That time, we decided to go for Double Dhamaal, but I reached a bit late and we missed the 6:30 show, and then we missed even the next two shows in a confusion of moving from theater to theater. Anyways, we finally settled for the 8:15 pm CARS 2 show. I was excited as I loved CARS 1. So, after all the running here and there, we finally sat down, had some food, and chatted about old and new things. I even told him about the idea of FeastHunt. I didn't give him much details but I gave an overview. Basically, in the process I got an opinion from him. I also got few nice ideas such as Calorie Meter. He had one idea too, the one with the RFID Menu. I liked it, but it was not marketable yet. I will take some more time to gain the market for that in India. Anyways, after all this discussion, we moved to the movie theater. CARS 2 was awesome but somewhere it lacked the soul it had in the first version. The second version is full of so many things that the main essence, the soul of the movie was corrupted. No doubt, the 3D effects were good. One has to know a lot of things ranging from GodFather to habits of people in Europe and America, to fully enjoy the movie. Anyways, after the movie it was time to say Goodbye. He insisted that I come to Pune sometime. I didn't promise but I said that I will make some time for that. Within all this noise, I don't know whether I can, but I will try. Then, I came back home. I remembered that I shouted on my sister today on phone, because instead of helping me out with the show timings on bookmyshow, she was laughing and teasing me. Anyways, I had already forgot all that, and was in a good mood. I laughed, taunted, etc with my sister on the dinner table. Meanwhile, I got a message from Ajeytaa asking me about tomorrow evening. She was here only till Sunday, so I was in a catch 22 situation as I had some FeastHunt commitments too. Let's see what will happen. Let her reply back. Next, I came back to my room, and wrote this diary. Next, I plan to watch the TV episodes, move on with JAVA, and some random net browsing as usual. I plan to sleep by 3:00 am.
