Diary 155: Bodomama Bodomimi Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:00 am. Today I woke up at around 8:05 am. I realized that there is no electricity. I brushed my teeth, and was forced to have my breakfast early. Then, I figured out that the main switch was switched off by Dad and hence we never realized when the electricity was back. Then, I decided to take my AIMCAT. I started it around 10:10 am, and finished it at 12:30 pm. I scored low. I got only 81. I got 55 in 1st section, and only 26 in the second one. I need to improve my English somehow. Anyways, after that I left for a hair cut. I returned home, and had a bath. Then, the wait for bodomama and bodomimi started. They finally arrived at around 2:20 pm. Unfortunately the electricity was down again. So, we had to go down 14 floors using the staircase. I kept one of the heavier bags in our car, and brought the other bag through the staircase and that too without stopping even once. It was a great warm up exercise. Then, the whole day was a blast. We had lunch then. After that we all sat down together and had fun discussing different stuffs. At around 5 pm, I left for the gym. I ran on the treadmill again, but this time I increased the running time to 9 minutes. I didn't complete the quota of my full cardio, but I worked hard on running. Later, I came back, took a bath, and got ready for the durga puja program that we were going to see. Ruponkor was coming to kharghar, and so we reached there at around 7:10 pm. Initially there was some dance drama or so, but then he arrived. He was as usual fantastic. I got the opportunity to speak with him too, and also got to take pictures along side him. After that, I tried my hand to get the keys of the new car, but somehow I felt that my first driving experience is not in the recent future. Anyways, we bought some veg chops and then returned home. At home, I came to know that KKR has won the match by D/L. It is still not out of danger, and has a slight hope of making it to the next round. Later, I returned to my home and started writing this post. Every one is asleep now, and I also plan to sleep early because I am a bit tired. I plan to sleep by 1:30 am.

Diary 154: Honda City and Peace Day

Yesterday I slept at around 2:00 am. I was feeling very sleepy. Today I woke up at around 9:00 am. I went online, brushed my teeth and started working on the code optimization thing. I had a call with Ankit regarding the same. During the call, we all came to know that Sushma's birthday was on 6th September and everyone forgot about it. So, she was complaining to us. After some discussions, I and Ankit figured out that the code needed some other changes, and so I sent him the code again, and then relaxed. After that, I suddenly started working on my essays. I started the second essay, but couldn't continue. Then, I decided to study as I have a AIMCAT tomorrow. There is a bit of pressure since the result would be shared with my bodomama and bodomimi too. Anyways, they are coming tomorrow, and it will be fun. After that the current went off, and hence caused a lot of frustration. I ate my lunch (stuffed paratha this time) at around 3:00 pm. After that, I relaxed a bit, and then started studying again. Later, I noticed that Dad had already brought the car. I was obviously excited. At around 8 pm, Dad and I checked out the new car (Honda City). I loved the features. I was just waiting for the opportunity to drive it. Anyways, after that I watched the match between Mumbai and Cape Cobras. Mumbai put a nice total of 176 but the match was abandoned due to rain. I went to gym later, and realized that my weight increased to 80. Seeing this, I decided to run (and not only walk) on the treadmill today. I couldn't run continuously much, but I am planning to gain on it. I came back, had a bath, and my post work out dinner. Then, I wrote this post, and now I am planning to study some more and/or work on essays. I plan to sleep by 3:00 am. 

Diary 153: Good Work Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:00 am. Today I woke up at around 8:45 am. It felt really good. I realized that there is a call with Gil, and so I brushed my teeth, and got ready for the call. The call was about the exercise that was given to us, and also about some code optimization thing. I noticed that I had the thoughts in line with Gil's. This gave me some confidence with regards to my approach. After the call, I continued working on my approach. Well, I was totally lost in between, but a sudden light of thought brought me back on track. I managed to reach the solution finally and I realized that I learnt a lot during this exercise. I wrote triggers, stored procedures and what not. I never myself to handle all that on my own. Anyways, after this I was very happy and hence made a nice design document, where I explained my approach. I realized that waking up early was one of the factors behind the success. I got more time, and was more efficient somehow. In between, I had my lunch at the same time around. My mom was not feeling well today, so much that she couldn't get up to make the tiffin for my sister. So, my sister ditched school today. In the late afternoon, out of nowhere, one of the tuition teacher came in, and asked for her. She was not at home, so I started my search operation. Finally, I managed to find her, and then she took her class. Later, I relaxed a bit. I came to know that Dad is going to pick up the new car - Honda City from the showroom tomorrow. Also, AJ got her gift and thanked us. Then, at around 8 pm, I started watching the match between KKR and RCB. It was a do or die match for KKR. Although they started off well, they lost their way in the middle and let RCB make 70 runs off the last 5 overs. The target for KKR was 170. Surprisingly, KKR were extremely dominant with the bat today. They defeated RCB with 3 overs to spare and by 9 wickets. In between, I had my Gym. Today was work out day, and I managed to complete all. Later, I had my post work out dinner, and then we all had a minor fight. Ultimately the things cooled down, and we all were fine again. The main topic was my sister, who didn't score well in her exams and also isn't that much concerned about it either. Anyways, I wrote this post then, and now I plan to work on the essays and may be study later. I plan to sleep by 3:30 am.

Diary 152: Work Again Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:30 am. Today I woke up at around 10:30 am. I brushed my teeth, and went online. I started working on the exercise, but suddenly Gil sent us a mail, where he said that when we are not on projects, we should work from office and start at 9 am, so that we can collaborate with him. Well, he is right but for me 9 am is too early. Anyways, I sent out a mail to Gil saying that I will be busy for this and the coming week, since it is Durga Puja time. He didn't reply to that though. Anyways, I continued working on the next approach. I was utterly confused on one point, and so I asked Mukund about it. After that I was able to implement what I wanted to. I had my lunch at normal time, and continued working after that. At around 5:30 pm, my mom and sister left for beauty parlor. I was kind of frustrated with work and so took a break from it by watching the ongoing cricket match between T&T and NSW. I heard afterwards that the match was a Tie, and NSW won it in super over. Anyways, mom called me at around 7:30 pm. I also left for shopping. I bought few bermudas and three-fourths for me. Then, I came back, had my pre work out dinner, and left for gym at around 9:35 pm. Meanwhile, the second match between CSK and Cape Cobras had started. CSK pulled the game back nicely after a bad phase. Today was cardio day and hence was not a big deal. I noticed that my weight was 79.5. I returned home, and watched the match. CSK won it in style. Bravo was the hero this time. Later, I had my bath, and then called up AJ to wish her birthday. Then, I wrote this diary, and now I plan to work again, and sleep by 2:30 am.

Diary 151: Work Day

Yesterday I slept at around 4:00 am. Today I woke up at around 11:00 am. I brushed my teeth, and then went online. There was some work finally, so I started working on it. Later, we had a call with Gil, where he said that two or three of us might have to go to Pune during December or January. Also, he gave us an assignment, which we have to do individually. So, I started thinking about possible solutions. Then, I finally got registered with TIME, and booked my slots for the upcoming AIMCATS. Unfortunately, one of them is on Oct 1, when my bodomama and bodomimi are coming in. By the lunch time, I had started with one of the approaches. I had my usual lunch at around 2:45 pm. Then, I went back and continued working. Shaurin pinged me and asked something about an implementation in Excel. I helped him throughout the afternoon, and even worked on my solution. Later, I had to go out with my mother for some minor shopping. I came back home, and continued working on it. At around 8:30 pm, my parents and sister returned home, and I started watching the match between KKR and South Australian Redbacks. Well, it was a one-sided match, and that side was not KKR. They were poor in all the departments. After my pre work out dinner. I left for gym. It was workout day, and although I was feeling a bit weak today, I managed to complete all of them. I returned home to see the obvious. KKR had lost the match. I took my bath, and then ate my post work out dinner. Then I wrote this diary, and now I plan to work on another approach. I may study a bit If I get time. I plan to sleep by 3:30 am.
