Yesterday I slept at around 3:00 am. I finished the movies. Today I woke up at around 11:00 am. I got a call from Mahak, but I didn't pick up. There was no work even today. I brushed my teeth, had my usual breakfast, and went online. Today, I decided that I will not watch movies and instead start with some preparation for CAT. I started with Quant. I tried to revise the concepts and formulas as far as possible. Also, I got a call from Vaibhav, who asked me to come at around 4:30 pm. I agreed and decided to close the deal today itself. Anyways, I continued with the study till the lunch time. I had my usual lunch and then continued with the study for a while. I felt sleepy after sometime, and so took a power nap till 4:15 pm. Then, I left home to meet Vaibhav. The meeting went well, and I asked him to start the work immediately. Later, he passed on the bank details and I added him as the payee. But, I couldn't transfer the money yet, because it was past 6:30 pm. Then, I watched the TV for a while, and saw some amazing things on "I didn't know that". The show was based on concepts of Electro-Magnetism and Superconductivity, and it was awesome. It showed some superconductivity can be used for a zero power maglev train. The implementation is tough, but it can be done in future. Then, I had my pre-workout dinner. My dad was using my laptop to look for hotels in Muscat, as he was going to Oman and Saudi Arabia for some work. Later, I left for the gym at around 9:30 pm. Today, I faced a bit of problem working out because my stomach was full of water. I drank too much water. Anyways, I worked out more than usual, and then left for home. I decided to skip the post workout meal because I was already too full. I took a bath, and then watched the TV for a while. Then the lights went off, and since the Inverter was not connected, it was pitch black. I decided to play the guitar to pass my time. After some time, the lights kicked in and I went online. I wrote this post. Next, I plan to continue the study for a while, and may be prepare a schedule for the whole preparation. I plan to sleep by 3:00 am.

Diary 128: Just Another Day
Yesterday I slept at around 2:30 am. I finished watching the movies then. Today, I woke up at around 11:10 am. I brushed my teeth, and then went online. There was nothing new on the job front yet. The purchase order will take some time. I started watching some movies. Meanwhile, my dad was shortlisting a car to buy. He suggested Volkswagen Vento, but I preferred Honda City. For a small increment in investment, the benefits were more. He also understood that, and realized the same. This went on till lunch time. My sister came back from tuition. She had her maths exam in the tuition, but she declined to discuss the details of it as usual. I ate my diet lunch. I liked it. After lunch, I watched a nice movie - "walk the line". It was based on a true story and life of legendary musician Johnny Cash. I loved the movie. These movies remind me how alone I am right now, and that I don't have any prospects of even meeting a girl. It depresses me, but I kept myself afloat and hope for a better future. At around 6:30 pm, I had Tea with biscuits, cream-cracker to be precise. Then, I started watching another movie and did that till 8:00 pm. Then, I decided to take a look at the material I have to study for CAT. I collected as many books and notes as possible, and organized them. I even called up Vaibhav, and fixed an appointment for tomorrow. Most probably, I will be starting from tomorrow on Feasthunt. At 9, I had my pre-workout dinner and left for Gym. Today I had to walk to gym because my parents and sister had gone for a puja. I came back at around 10:30 pm. I took a bath, and then ate my post work out dinner. Then, I wrote this post, and next, I plan to complete the movies and sleep by 3:00 am.

Diary 127: Movies Day
Yesterday I slept at around 4:00 am. I completed the movies. Today, I woke up at around 11:30 am. I brushed my teeth, and went online. We have exceeded the allotted number of hours for the project, and hence we can't work unless a new purchase order is placed, and that may not happen before Monday. After that, I started watching movies again. I was not that happy with the thing that I was wasting my time on movies. Also, I got many calls from Vaibhav, the developer and felt guilty about not picking up. Anyways, I decided to meet him tomorrow and make up some kind of excuse. Later, I had my lunch. Then, I dropped off my sister to her tuition class. It was raining very heavily and I had to drive very carefully. I continued with the movies after that. Also, there was a One-day match which was going on between India and England. India made an impressive total of 274, but unfortunately the rain Gods interfered and the match was abandoned. England were 27/2 when the game ended. Anyways, later I continued with the movies till 8:45 pm. Then, I had my pre-workout dinner. It was different than usual, but I had it anyway. Then, I went to gym. There, I increased my level of exercise again. Also, my weight measured around 83.2 without the shoes on. I came back, had bath and my post work out dinner. Then, I completed one of the movies - "The Runaways". It was a good movie. Next, I plan to watch more movies, and then sleep by 3:00 am.

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.
