Diary 213: Relaxing Day

Yesterday I slept at around 2:30 am. Today I woke up at 11:10 am. I felt good after sleeping so much after a long time. I brushed my teeth, and had my breakfast. Mom and Dad were out for some bank business. Later, I started working on the Code generator project and completed the first part of it. I mailed it and then had my lunch. Before that, I applied some oil on my hair, so that I can curb the bad hair look and maintain a cleaner look. The mid-day was spent on movies. Later, I learnt that the total lunar eclipse is going to occur today. At around 8:30 pm, I realized that it is the peak of the eclipse, and so started looking for the moon. I browsed the net for the immediate position of the moon, and was finally able to spot the moon in the clear night sky. It was just amazing. I saw the shadow the earth slowing receding from the moon's surface. I tried to capture it in the camera, but it was too far away. Anyways, I was spellbound by the experience. Later, I went to gym for the cardio and came back at around 10:15 pm. I watched the TV for a while, and then took a bath. I wrote the diary then, and now I plan to watch some movie and sleep by 2:30 am.

Diary 212: Office Day and Meeting Friends Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:00 am. Today I woke up at 8:00 am, and got ready for office. I was looking ridiculous with the hair cut but I managed to get over it. I reached the office at around 11:10 am, and started working straight away. I worked on the Schema Analyzer for the most of the time. Later, I got involved in the Code generator thing for a while. Also, Sushma informed me that she needs the UK Visa documents as soon as possible. I tried to get the Form 16 from deloitte, but it seems that it would take some time. After the office, I went on to Powai to meet divyansh and dallas. Shubham and Anisha were also there. All of them were shocked to see me as I had lost so much weight. Also, my hair style was adding to the factor that I was looking really thin. We had nice chit chat and moved to a restaurant named "Out of the Blue" for our dinner. Dallas was giving a treat to us, and the bill came out to be 3200. So, we contributed a little and Dallas paid the rest of it. Later, we dispersed. Divyansh and I tried to catch hold of some auto, but finally relied on the bus to take us to the nearby station-Vikhroli. One thing I forgot to mention was that, I saw and met many people from my past. I met kritin joshi. He was so happy to see me. It felt genuine. Also, I saw Amit daga and Chaitanya Raulkar. I also saw Deepti Dyondi, who was a MTech student and used to dance very well. On the way back home, it felt as if I saw another guy who was with me at IIT. I didn't pay much attention to it and moved on. I reached home at around 12:00 am, and browsed the net for a while. I had a chat with Shatabdi then, but later felt sleepy and slept at  2:30 am.

Diary 211: No office and Sehwag Day

Yesterday I slept at around 5:00 am. After I had a long chat with Shatabdi, I watched a movie. Today I woke up at around 9:40 am. I brushed my teeth, and went online. Then, we had a call with Gil. He explained us the new EMI work that had come in. Later, I started working on the schema analyzer thing. This went on till 2:00 pm. Then, I started searching for some movies and all. At 2:30 pm, I started watching the 4th ODI between India and WI. Well, nobody would have expected what would happen today after India didn't win the last match. India started off with a blast. Sehwag and Gambhir opened this time. The opening partnership was 176, before Sehwag confused Gambhir into a run out. The number 3 batsman was Raina, and he also scored a 50. Sehwag went on and on, and finally surpassed 200, to beat Sachin's ODI record of 200*. He ended with 219 off just 149 balls. Later, I had some Tea and continued watching the match. India ended up scoring a huge total of 418/5, which is the highest by India. WI started off the chase pretty well, but eventually lost too many wickets and ended up being 265 all out. I went to the gym meanwhile. Today was cardio day. I came back, watched TV, took a bath, and then wrote this diary. Next, I plan to watch some movie and sleep by 2:00 am. I will go to office tomorrow, and also plan to meet divyansh, dallas, shaurin and mangal.

Diary 210: Sister birthday, Office and frustration Day

Yesterday I slept at around 2:45 am. I woke up at around 8:00 am, and got ready for office. But before that, I woke up once at 4:30 am, only to find my sister awake and studying. I wished her then, and later realized that it was so early. Anyways, I reached office at around 11:15 am. I started working on the schema analyzer thing and completed it by mid-day. I was happy with it then. Later, I started watching the latest TV episodes. The frustration started then, when I realized that Sarvesh has also applied for ISB and that he is applying to more colleges also. He was asking rohit about the essays that he has written. Next, I got even more frustrated when Gil mailed Ankit to ask for two resources who had more than 3 years of experience, where I got completely singled out. Also, later in the day, the visa guy came in and somehow Mukund was in the room with him along with Ankit. It seems that the less experience is going to kill my fate even here. I will be the last choice for any onsite opportunity. I left from office at around 5:00 pm. On the way, I got mails from Gil saying that the output is still not correct, and that made me sad. I got home, celebrated sister's birthday with cake cutting and eating, and then started working on the code. I found the mistake but new problems crept up. I mailed it to Gil, but I still have to work on it. I went to gym and came back. Today was work out day. I ate special dinner after that, and then started working again. Then, I completed the latest episodes and had a chat with Alok and shatabdi. Later, I wrote this diary. Now, I plan to watch a movie and then sleep by 3:30 am. I will not go to office tomorrow.

Diary 209: Office and Dev anand no more Day

Yesterday I slept at around 2:00 am. Before going to bed, I came to know that Dev Anand, the evergreen star is no more. Today I woke up at around 7:00 am, and got ready for office. I left home at around 7:30 am, and reached the office at around 9:40 am. I was the first one to reach, and hence I had to open the office door. I started watching the latest episodes before everyone arrived and we started working on the EMI project. Well, I was at my best today and was able to understand everything in the code. It felt nice, and everyone else seemed a bit out of touch. Well, I made the changes very quickly and even helped Ankit and Mukund in the other internal project. Working on the schema analyzer, my concepts regarding XML have certainly improved a lot. Anyways, I left for home at around 5:20 pm. In between, lots of design suggestions were mailed by the developer and I gave prompt feedback on them. Later, I came back home and worked on the schema analyzer for a while. I sent an updated output file to Gil, and he replied. I found out that there are still some issues with it, but later realized that the input files are messy too. Anyways, I had some maggi after a long time and left for gym. Today was cardio day. My weight seems to have stagnated close to 76. Anyways, I am not worried about it now. I feel better now. I came back, had some post work out dinner after the bath. Then, I worked on the code again, and wrote this diary. Now, I plan to watch a movie and then sleep by 2:00 am.
