Diary 135: No Gym Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:15 am. Today, I woke up at around 11:40 am. I brushed my teeth, went online and realized that the issues are still there. I was kind of frustrated, and hence I decided to solve the problem myself. I spent the next few hours on the issue, and it was partially solved. Then, I passed on the code to Mukund. It was already lunch time then, and I had my usual lunch. After lunch, I came to know that the ODI match has already started. So, the rest of the day was a multi tasking day between Study and Cricket match. Well, I couldn't concentrate very well on the studies so my speed was slow. About the match, India made a good recovery after 110/4 and made 280/4 with Dhoni and Raina scoring half centuries. Meanwhile, in the late evening, I had some Tea and took a break from the studies. I noticed that the gym's light were not lit, so I figured that the gym is closed on the occasion of Ganesh Visarjan. I didn't like it, mainly because I wanted to work out heavily today and also check my weight. But anyways, I resumed my studies and so did the cricket match. England chased very nicely and the nature supported them too. There were around 2-3 stoppages due to the rain, and which caused a lot of ups and downs in the game. Finally, it was a draw with England at par with the D/L score of 270/8 in 48.5 overs. Luckily, Munaf was responsible for two quick wickets in the very same over, other wise India would have lost easily. Anyways, the series went to England, and so India lost both Test and ODI series to England. I came back to my room, and wrote this diary. Next, I plan to exercise a little, then take a bath and finally go back to studies - lot of chapters to cover. I guess, I will exceed the previously allotted 7 days to Quant. Anyways, I can afford one more day for Quant. I plan to sleep by 3:00 am.

Diary 134: Just another Day

Yesterday I slept at around 4:30 am. Today I woke up at 11:00 am. I brushed my teeth, and checked my mail. There were few mail exchanges regarding some issues. I decided that I will work on those issue first and then study. Meanwhile, I had my usual breakfast. I started working on the issue. I spotted the issue quickly and started rectifying it, and within the next hour or so, I completed it. Then, I mailed the correct version of the code and started studying. I had my lunch at around 1:30 today, because my sister had a tuition scheduled for 2. After that, I continued with the studies till 5:30 pm. In between, I got a call from Vaibhav and he scheduled a meeting for Tuesday. Later, I and mom went to the market for some random shopping. It took a lot of time, and I returned at around 7:45 pm. I had Tea, Soup and green Tea after that. Pretty soon, I had my pre work out dinner too. I studied for a while, and then left for the gym. I increased my cardio time for walking today. My weight has somewhat stagnated and is not going below 82.5 kg. I aim to reduce another 2.5 in the coming three weeks, so that bodomama and bodomimi see me that way. Anyways, I came back, had a bath and then my post work out dinner. I started studying after that. I have to complete around 11 chapters of Quant tomorrow. Let's see if I am able to do that. Then, I wrote this diary post and next I plan to study, and then finally sleep at around 3:00 am or so.

Diary 133: Job and Study Day

Yesterday I slept at around 4:15 am. Today I woke up at around 11:15 am. I brushed my teeth and went online. I had my usual breakfast. There was some new work from the older project, and I started working on it. Later, I got a mail from Sanjeev, and it said that we may need to work after 8 pm. So, I stopped working and started studying. Sarvesh was now handling the older project issues. He called me few times but those were some minor issues. In between, while mom was cleaning up some drawers, she found some old photos and birthday cards. It was nice too look at those things after such a long time. My sister was also at home because it was a holiday for her. Both of us were solving maths. I had my lunch at around 3:00 pm. It was that old lunch today - daliya and salad etc. After that, I reverted to studying. This went on till the late evening. At around 6:45 pm, I realized that we have a call with Sanjeev at around 7:00 pm. So, the battle started again. Mukund was also there in the call, and he made the changes in the mapping. We faced some issues but we rectified those. Later, the call ended, although all the issues were not solved yet. So, I stopped working then, ate my pre work out lunch and left for Gym. At gym, I had a nice work out session today. I completed almost all the exercises without fail. I returned home, took a bath, realized that India have made a small total of 234 in 50 overs, and that they are on the verge of losing again. Well, they did ultimately. Meanwhile, I was working again on the issues and faced some odd patterns. Finally, I stopped working at around 3:30 am. I wrote this post then. Next, I plan to sleep by 4:15 am.

Diary 132: Frustrating Error Day

Yesterday I slept at around 4:00 am. Today, I woke up at around 11:15 am. I brushed my teeth, and then went online. I had my usual breakfast then. We had to work towards the issues today, and hence I started working straight away. I allotted some of the work to Mukund and Rohit. Close to the lunch time, we were done with the issues, and also with the effort estimation. We were quite relaxed after this, and hence, I started studying. I continued with the online material. Then, I had my lunch at around 2:30 pm. After that, I continued studying. Also, I got a project deliverable document from Vaibhav. It seems that my bank account is going to be empty soon. Anyways, life was peaceful until Gotham called me up suddenly and asked about our status. I gave him an update about the issues, and that was fine. I informed Ankit about the same. Later, in the evening, I was watching TV and solving the Number theory problems, when Sanjeev called me up and mentioned that there is some issue with an XML file. The issue was critical and required immediate attention. So, I informed Ankit and we both started working on it. This went on till 8:45pm. I left the issue, and had my pre workout dinner. After that, I informed Ankit that I will be away for around 30 minutes, and left for Gym. Today was cardio day, and I burned some 350 calories. While coming back, I realized that there were several missed calls from Sanjeev and Ankit. I called up Ankit, and got the update that the issue is still not resolved. Then, I came back home and worked with Ankit on the same. The issue was solved within few minutes, and we were happy again. We informed Sanjeev and asked for a screen share meeting. Before all this, I had a bath, and also my post work out dinner. The problem started now. We altered the code at the client side, and expected that it would run properly, but there was an odd error. Even the debugger couldn't do anything. Logs showed that there is some issue with the filepath. So, we all banged our head for the next 4-5 hours on the same. Ultimately the error was a simple NEWLINE character, because of which the file was not parsed properly by DT. We all were frustrated. Even Gil had to chip in for this. But, ultimately we figured out the main issue. We stopped working and logged off. I wrote this post in half sleep, and next, I plan to sleep by 4:00 am.

Diary 131: Mixed Bag Day

Yesterday I slept at around 4:00 am. Today I woke up at around 11:10 am. I brushed my teeth, admired my flatter belly and then checked my mails. There was nothing new, and so I started with the study. I referred some online material on mathematical concepts. It was a relief from the dangerous number theory and helped me revise few of the concepts. I came to know that my sister scored 30 out of 90 in her tuition class maths test. I was upset, but controlled myself. I went through the whole paper and explained her the questions and also the various methods to solve them. After that, I had my usual diet lunch. Then, I left for the meeting with Vaibhav. There, we discussed on the various possibilities of the design and also how to make it search engine friendly. After the meeting, I returned and started studying again. I did that till 8:00 pm. Then, I was wondering about my Gym session today, because it was the workout day. I feared that I will pull my muscles again like the last time. I ate my pre-workout dinner, then watched KBC, and then left for Gym. At gym, I managed to handle workout very easily. In fact, I followed the workout with a 10 minute Cardio, mainly because I didn't feel a thing. I came back, took a bath and then went online. Gil had sent a mail regarding the issues, and asked us about those. Ankit and I decided to look into these in detail, tomorrow. Then, out of the blue, Akshay pinged me and said that he finally got his laptop. I informed him about the start of work. Later, I wrote this post, and next I plan to study for a while, and then sleep by 3:00 am.
