Diary 177: ISB and Cricket Day

Yesterday I slept at around 5:00 am. I took another test and still no relief. Anyways, today I woke up at around 11:00 am. I brushed my teeth, and went online. I mailed Sarvesh and Rohit that I had completed my part of the work, and now it is up to them. Then, I took a bath and got ready to leave for the ISB PGP Info session at Cuffe Parade (near CST). I left with my mom and dad, as they were leaving for some minor shopping. I boarded the train from CBD, and then reached CST at around 2:15 pm. I reached the hotel at around 2:30 pm, and got myself seated there. I found a few familiar faces there but I didn't bother them. The session was very good, and I came to know something new about the placements at ISB i.e. how the companies are approached and how the salary negotiations take place. Also, the notion of international placements was clear. Meanwhile, there was a match going on between India and England, not very far away from where I was. But, after the session, I left for home, and reached home at around 6:20 pm. On the way, I had one burger and Veg pizza mcpuff from McDonald's. About the match, India were able to regain control after the initial outburst by England, and restricted England to only 220. I started watching the match then. India didn't start off that well, and lost 3 wickets in no time. But Virat and Raina pulled things back, and led India to another victory, making the lead 4-0 in this series. Then, I left for gym. Today was Cardio Day. I came back, and had a bath. Then, I wrote this diary, and next I plan to study, and sleep by 3:30 am.

Diary 176: More Work and Time Pass Day

Yesterday I slept at around 4:20 am. I took a test and was devastated by the result. Anyways, today I woke up at around 11:15 am. Today was more or less a boring day. I brushed my teeth, went online, replied to few of the mails sent by the client, and then started watching YouTube videos. Also, today was Divyansh's birthday, so I wished him and also was shocked to know that he is in Mumbai. He was suffering from fever, and so he head back home 2 days back. Later, I had my lunch at around 2:00 pm, and then had a discussion with Akshay through mails regarding the designs of the website. We both were unhappy, and so I informed Vaibhav too. Vaibhav asked me to meet him and also bring in the team members along with me. I don't know how is that possible. Anyways, I started working on the pending tasks on the job front. I realized that there is lot of work remaining, and since no one is there, I have to do it. I continued working till late evening. At around 8:30 pm, I had my pre work out dinner and then went to gym at around 9:30 pm. Today was work out day. I came back at around 10:30 pm, and started watching the TV show - Dadagiri. My favorite round was up then - Googly. I was able to answer 2 of them, and the rest were lame. Later, I had my bath and post work out dinner. Next, I wrote this diary and now I plan to study. I plan to sleep by 3:30 am.

Diary 175: Job Day

Yesterday I slept at around 1:30 am. I didn't took the test I was supposed to take because I was feeling very sleepy that time. Today I woke up at around 9:45 am. I went online and started working on the pending tasks. As yesterday, today also, the work was piling up quicker than anticipated, and so it was going out of control. Also, Ankit didn't contribute at all, and left everything in between. Ankit was the invisible resource on the project. Anyways, Sarvesh and I started working on the various aspects and had numerous calls within us. I had my lunch at around 2:00 pm. My mom had gone to some kitty party. After that I continued working till late afternoon. At around 7:00 pm, I left for the nutritionist's appointment. My weight was 77.2 Kgs but my fat % was 27.2, and my BMR got reduced to 1783. Anyways, by this time, my mom, dad and sister had left for some party at Hyatt. I preferred to stay back due to work and other reasons. I worked till 9:00 pm, then ate my pre work out dinner and left for gym at around 9:30 pm. I had my fitness test done today where I performed ok. I came back after simple cardio, had a bath and then wrote this diary. Now, I plan to wait for my family to come back, and then sleep by 1:30 am. I am feeling sleepy today also.

Diary 174: Job and Series Win Day

Yesterday I slept at around 4:30 am. I took another test and again I didn't clear the cut off. Today I woke up at around 10:20 am, and went online. I realized that nobody has come online yet, and so I started looking into other aspects of work. Pretty soon, I and Sarvesh started analyzing the missing tables and all. We got into lots of problem, and it was now up to me to change the code to help the cause. It was frustrating but somehow I managed to complete it by Lunch time. I had my lunch at around 3:00 pm. By that time, the cricket match between India and England had started, and so I started multi-tasking. India started off well with the bowling, but then England made a recovery and reached 298 in their 50 overs. Meanwhile, I booked the tickets for all of us for the Goa Trip, including return trip. I watched the match throughout the day. I checked some mails in between, but my mind was fixed at the result of the match, because a win in this would ensure a series win for India. India started their chase nicely and placed themselves at a nice place in the middle overs. But then the wickets started falling, and it was down to Dhoni. I left for gym in disappointment, but watched the last overs of the match there. In one line, Dhoni saved India again. He scored 35-40 odd in a quick time to reach 300 in 49.2 overs. Then, I came back, and watched the first episode of "Dadagiri" (now hosted by Mithun Chakarborty unfortunately). After that I took a bath, and started writing this post. Now, I plan to watch the latest episode of House and then study. I plan to sleep by 4:15 am.

Diary 173: No Office but lots of work Day

Yesterday I slept at around 4:15 am. I took another test where I scored 94 but still couldn't clear the cut off in either section. Anyways, today I woke up at around 10:20 am. I went online, and saw that there was flurry a e-mails from both client and team members. I started working immediately. I had lot of calls in between with Sarvesh. He was also working on the same thing. Somehow, I felt that Mukund was again not giving his 100% to the project. He asked simple doubts etc. Later, I had my lunch at around 2:40 pm. After lunch, I continued working on the same. At around 3:30 pm, I completed my part and passed it on to Sarvesh. Then, I was feeling too sleepy and so I dozed off. I got few calls from Sarvesh in between and I handled them somehow. I got up at around 5:50 pm, and realized that I have missed the call with Gotham. I started working again after some Tea. The work was frustrating, but once done, it would open up lots of doors of improvement, and so I continued. I ate my pre work out dinner at around 8:45 pm, and went to gym at 9:40 pm. All the time, I was working on the same thing. I returned from Gym early, and started working again. After a lot of head banging and typing, I finally completed it and passed it on to Sarvesh. He, then, started working on it and will most probably complete it by tonight. Next, I plan to watch the TV episode of House and then study. I plan to sleep by 4:00 am.
