Diary 126: Good Movies and ISB Application Start Day

Yesterday I slept at around 4:30 am. I was happy with the deployment work. Today, I woke up at around 11:45 am. I brushed my teeth, and went online. There were no new mails from Gotham, so I guess there were no issues as such. Then, I decided to start with the ISB Application. I already had applied once, so I already knew what all documents are required. I went through the older application and filled up the basic details. In between, I left to shop some things from the market. Finally, I was only left with the new employment details, one document and the four essays. That was a huge progress and I loved it. Now, I need to start working on my essays. I need to find my two greatest achievements. Anyways, later, I had my lunch. I ate chicken again, and I loved it. After the lunch, I started watching movies. I watched some very good movies - "Listen to your heart", "Nick and Norah's infinite playlist", "RockStar", "The art of getting by". I loved each one of them. The movie thing went on till 7:00 pm. Then, I watched the football match between Argentina and Venezuela. It was the first international friendly match between two foreign nations in India. The match was at Salt Lake Stadium, Kolkata. Argentina won 1-0. Messi was awesome. After that, I ate my pre-workout dinner and then left for Gym at around 9:30 pm. I continued with the cardio. I increased the level of cycling today. I came back home, and took a bath. I ate my post work out dinner, and started watching the movies again. I even cried while watching "Listen to your heart". It was really awesome, and touched my soul. It gave inspiration to me. Then, I decided to write this post. Next, I plan to continue with the movies and then sleep by around 4:30 am.

Diary 126: Sudden work and Deployment Day

Yesterday I slept at around 4:00 am. I was watching the movie - "The butterfly effect 3". It was a good movie indeed. Today, I woke up at around 10:45 am. I brushed my teeth, and went online. I checked the mails, and started working right away. Meanwhile, I had my new diet breakfast. It was different from what was suggested but it was good enough. Anyways, we were supposed to start the move to production at around 6:30 pm, but we had some issues at hand. So, I and Ankit started looking into those, and had many calls in between. I had my new diet lunch, and it was awesome. I had grilled chicken, raita, dal, roti, salad and all. I loved it. Then, I moved back to work. We also had a conference call with Gil. We solved one of their issue then and there. So, we were done with the issues, and were ready to move the code to production. Well, the clock struck 6:30 pm, but there was no sign of Gotham. We tried contacting him, but there was no reply. After sometime, we came to know that it will start at 9 pm. I informed Ankit that I will be away for around half an hour. Meanwhile, I spent time by solving olympiad questions from my sister's book. It didn't start at 9. At 9:30 pm, I left for the gym. The gym was very empty today, mainly because of the Ganesh Chaturthi thing. I was in the middle of the cardio, when Ankit called me. I didn't pick it up, but had to cut short by cardio time by 7 minutes. Anyways, I left for home, and straightaway joined the client call. They were in the middle of the code move. My bath and post workout dinner were pending, but I continued. After lots of hiccups and roadblocks, we were able to deploy the code to their environment. It all ended at around 2:30 am. In between, I managed to have a quick bath and the post workout dinner. Next, I plan to watch some movie, and then sleep by 4:00 am or so.

Diary 125: Work and Movies Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:00 am. I was again watching the movies. Today, I woke up at around 10:00 am. It was a holiday, but had to work anyways for the project. So, I had my usual breakfast and went online. I realized that the team has made a lot of changes in the informatica mappings in the second phase of the project. Anyways, I started watching some movies, and worked on the tasks in between. This went on till the lunch time. At around 2:15 pm, I had my usual diet lunch. After the lunch, I came to know that there is a T20 match between India and England. It will start at 10:30 pm. I have no hope as such, but will watch it for fun. I continued with the movies till 7:15 pm. Then, I left for the appointment I had scheduled with the nutritionist. I got a new diet, and it is for the next week. I came back home, but mom and dad argued that all this special diet is not required as such, but I supported the contrary. Anyways, after that I went online, and realized that there is a call scheduled. I joined in to the call, and had a discussion with Ankit and Gotham regarding some of the issues that were coming up. We are supposed to help out Gotham in moving the ETL code to their production environment, and it has to be tonight. This was a ridiculous demand, but we had to do it. I started looking into the issue but was not able to figure out the problem. Then, I had my pre work out dinner and left for Gym at around 9:25 pm. It was cardio-only again. I came back and started watching the T20 match. It started good for India, but then India were all out for 165. England won it very convincingly. I was working in between, but Gotham shifted the production move to tomorrow, so I took a back seat. I wrote this post in the new design for blogger. Next, I plan to watch a movie and then sleep by 3:00 am.

Diary 124: Job and Movies Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:00 am. I was watching movies. Today, I woke up at around 11:15 am. I had my usual breakfast. I went online, and found out that there is some drastic change related to the processing of the files that we were doing earlier. We were taken aback, but I started thinking of solutions. I came up with few of them, and then sent out a mail to explain it to others. Soon, ankit and I were discussing the details of the approach. After that, I started watching movies - "Tangled" and "Rango". Both were animation flicks, and they were nice. I enjoyed them thoroughly. I had my usual lunch, and then  started multi-tasking between job and movies. This went on till around 7:00 pm. After that, we had a status call, but we sent a mail instead, and scheduled a call with Gotham instead. Then, I started watching the movie "Super 8". It is a Sci-fi movie, and I loved it. Later, I ate my pre-work out dinner. Then, I had the call with Gotham and Ankit. We got the clarification regarding the issue. Then, I left for gym. At gym, I again did only Cardio. I came back at around 10:40 pm. I ate my post workout dinner, and then moved to my room. I completed the movie. Then, I wrote this post. Next, I plan to watch another movie, and then sleep by around 3:00 am.

Diary 123: CAT registration and Job Day

Yesterday I had tough time sleeping. I finally slept at around 4:00 am. Today, I woke up at around 9:20 am. I had plans to go to the bank to get my CAT registration number. Before that, I had my usual breakfast, and then had a odd call with Ankit, where we discussed few stuffs. Then, I started working on some issue that has come up on the job front. After that, I decided to leave. I bought my registration slip and also some water bottles ( water supply was short for the fourth continuous day). I came back, registered online for CAT, and took the date as 3rd Nov (3:15 pm) as my appointment. I can re-schedule it for some more days, but I guess I will stick with it. After that, I started multi-tasking between job and movies. Whenever an issue came up, I switched from movies to job. I watched two movies like this - "Farm Girl in New york" and "Something borrowed". I liked both of them. I had my usual lunch at around 2:45 pm. I was disturbed by calls regarding some issue in between, but I managed to handle those. Then, I continued with the multi-tasking thing till late afternoon. At around 7:20 pm, I decided to leave for my scheduled appointment with the nutritionist. But, I found out that she left because it was raining cats and dogs. I had to buy water bottles again. Water supply finally came in at around 8:00 pm. At around 8:30, I started watching KBC. Then, I had my pre-work out dinner and prepared for the gym. I left for the gym at around 9:30 pm, and came back home at around 10:30 pm. Now that there was no issue with the water supply, I had a long refreshing bath. I had my post work out dinner, and then moved to my room. I started watching two more movies - "Cougars Inc" and "Change of Plans". I am loving both of them. Next, I plan to complete the movies and then sleep by 3:00 am.
