Yesterday I slept at around 4:30 am. I was frustrated with the amount of work that I had to do. Gil sensed it already, and even asked me about others and their work. Anyways, Today I woke up at around 11:10 am. As expected I got a call from Ankit, who somehow was very unhappy that I didn't come to office. I explained him that I had to work till 4 am, and I rectified a lot of issues and added a new section altogether. He didn't seem convinced, but I didn't care. I decided that today I will not work late whatever be the case. Today, we again started mass integration of our codes. Ankit had to implement some functionality, so I just noted down my changes and waited for Ankit to send me an updated version. Meanwhile, I started looking at the part which was built by Mukund. I was shocked to see the bad design of the code. I realized that this is also a section where I have to contribute. I didn't tell Mukund to his face that his code was bullshit, and instead acted as if I was unaware of everything. Anyways, I designed it in my way and used the correct input files. The output was smooth now, and nothing was missed in the target. In fact, I added a totally new section also. I completed Mukund's 3 to 4 days' work in 1 hour or so. Although, I was proud of myself, but I was disgusted again by the ratio of appreciation and work done. No one other than Gil thanked me for my commendable effort and dedication to the project. Well, I realized something. My colleagues were IITians, who don't have the word "appreciation" in their dictionary. Anyways, I got the updated project from Ankit and made all the required changes. I sent that project to the rest, and started random testing. Since my trust on Mukund's code was null and void, I decided to look into his other sections too. But before that, I took a break from work and went to the other room to discuss random stuff with my mom and sister. After that we had some Tea, and I moved back to my room. I started looking into Mukund's other code, and tried to work on it from scratch. I kept on working till around 9:30 pm, and then realized that at least here the problem is not with the code. So, I stopped there itself. I went online to check if there was any new mail. Then, I had my dinner, and after that started writing this post. Now, I plan to sleep by 11:15 pm. I will go to office tomorrow. Also, Sushma was planning something for tomorrow, don't know what but I guess it will be a team lunch.
