Diary 84: Movie Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:30 am. I watched the movie "Double Dhamaal" on YouTube. It was a very bad movie. Totally senseless, and the comedy didn't seem like comedy. Anyways, Today I woke up at around 10:30 am, with a call from Mahak. I was surprised but she told me that she couldn't talk properly last time on chat, so she called me up. Anyways, the phone got disconnected because the battery went down. After that, I brushed my teeth, checked my mails and all. Then, Mahak gave me the link to the movie "Zindadi Na Milegi dobara", and I decided to ditch my work and watch the movie. I was anyways tired with the question, so it would be a nice break. I started watching it, and started loving it also. It was a movie with which you can relate to quite easily. Three friends, going for a bachelors party trip. It sounded cliche but the story was different. It was not the all fun kind of movie. It was quite realistic with fights and tensions between friends, also the difference in mentalities even in between friends. Meanwhile, I had my breakfast and did a bit of work too. Though the devoted time was less, but it was enough to find out few more things about the problem. Anyways, I watched the movie in parts. I had lunch in between, had a long chat with my sister, and even had a call with Akshay regarding the FeastHunt. He was going to Delhi, so Today we were supposed to have a call with Harsh, but it didn't happen because Harsh was busy. During the late afternoon, I decided to watch the Test Match between India and England. The match was balanced. India got two important wickets, but England seemed strong in their batting. After that, I felt tired, so I had a quick nap for about half an hour. Then, I watched the TV for some time. Then, I came back to my room and browsed random sites. Then, I had my dinner. I got a call from Ankit that I should come to Office tomorrow so that we can finish the documentation of the problem. So, it will be Office Day tomorrow. Also, one more thing, today I faced a lot of problem with my mobile phone. It has reached its maximum capacity to handle messages. I had to delete a lot of messages to make it usable again. Well, after I write this post, I will watch the movie "Pyaar ka panchnama", again referred by Mahak. Let's see how it turns out. I plan to sleep by 2:00 am.

Diary 83: The complex DT Mapper Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:00 am. I watched the movie - "Pirates of the Silicon Valley" on YouTube. It showed how Microsoft stole things from Apple, Xerox and some small computer company to build its own product. Today, I woke up at around 11:00 am, due to a phone call from Ankit. He told me that there is some big problem that one of the projects is facing, and we all are supposed to help in that. There was no news about the new project. Anyways, I switched on my laptop. I found out that the wireless connection is not working. I got the hint about how the day would go today. Earlier I thought that the physical switch to switch on the wireless was broken, because whatever I do, it didn't show the indication light. Later, I figured it out that the wireless adapter is not working. So, I tried to find out how to do that manually. I tweaked here and there, and reached the device manager. There I looked for wireless adapter, and enabled it. And the wireless connection was back. I was relieved. The rest of the day was more or less, I being drowned in the DT Mapper code and trying to figure out the extremely complicated schema designs. Meanwhile, I had an awesome lunch - Baingaan bharta, Roti and Pyaaz. It was heavenly. I had 7 chapatis. Anyways, I was tired of the problem in the evening, and I sent out the status mail to everyone. No body was able to solve the problems assigned. I wanted to solve it, but it was just too frustrating, mainly because the aim of the project was not known. After that, I had some Tea, and started watching YouTube videos. Then, I started making the project scope document. I edited it a bit, and then discussed a few things with Akshay. I sent a final mail to the Webprint guy with the edited copy. After that, I went for a bath. I had nothing to do after that, so I reverted back to YouTube videos. Then, I relaxed for a bit, and headed for dinner. I watched the TV for a while, and then returned to my room. As I was browsing randomly I found out that Rebecca Black has released a new song - My Moment. I was shocked to see that. I don't like the song that much but yes, her voice sounds better. I really appreciate her courage to face the world like this. The lyrics of the song say that. Anyways, I started writing the diary after that, and now I plan to browse around for a while, and then go to sleep by 12:30 am. 

Diary 82: Office Day

Yesterday, surprisingly I slept at around 12:15 am. It took me some time to finally get into deep sleep, but I did eventually. I woke up at around 7:45 am. I suddenly decided that I will go to Office today. The reason was that if the project starts tomorrow, then it will take few more weeks before which I can finally visit the new office. So, I got ready for office, had breakfast, and left with my Dad. On the way, there was heavy rainfall, but we managed to go through that, and finally reached Dad's office in Sion at around 10:10 am. I went further till Bandra station, and finally reached Andheri office at around 11:15 am. It didn't take much effort to look up the office. The only problem was that it was raining. Anyways, as expected, both Ankit and Sushma were shocked to see me. I can understand the reaction. I liked the new office. It was a bit old, but it was good enough. I didn't like the washroom, so I didn't use it at all. I met Rohit for the first time. Mukund and Sarvesh were also shocked to see me. Anyways, the work started. We all were still working on various scenarios of the problem. I and Ankit tried to solve one of those. We discussed a lot about it, and finally stuck to one plan. While I was busy in that, Akshay reminded me of the Bistro Lunch. I felt so good that someone apart from me was thinking about FeastHunt. So, I jumped into that for a while. We were supposed to have a call before that. Somehow Dallas was very busy and so he was not responding that much. Anyways, finally Dallas was free and they both went in to Bistro. I already had lunch while chatting, and then started working on the problem again. At around 4:30, Akshay informed me that the meeting was good. I was happy to hear that. So, we decided to have a call later to discuss that. So, I called them up when I left from the office. In the call, I came to know the terms and conditions of the whole business that they are proposing. Also, one of the factor that we missed was the revenue thing. So, we need to think about it. Then, I reached Bandra, and finally on the car with Dad. I reached home at around 8:45 pm, because the traffic was too much. After reaching home, I started brain storming about the revenue structure and had a small chat with Akshay too. Also, I found out that the credit card swipe machine works with telephone and not necessarily internet. So, that is a new problem now. Anyways, we may have to figure out something. Then, I wrote this post. And now, I plan to have dinner, and then sleep by around 12:30 am.  If possible, there can be one more brain storming session.

Diary 81: Some Work and FeastHunt Day

Yesterday I slept very late. I was feeling very restless, mainly because I had slept a lot in the afternoon. I was writing a book in my mind, a book about my thoughts on various aspects of life - Self knowledge, Girls, Family, Job, College Life, Business etc. I even named that book - "One Night I Stand". The name was chosen that way because the one night stand would gain attention from the book readers and also because the whole concept and the matter would be written in one night. Although thoughts were flowing in, I wanted to sleep that time because I wanted to wake up before 10:00 am. Anyways, I woke up at around 10:10 am, with a call from Ankit asking me where I am. As planned, I said that I haven't checked my mail yet, and acted surprised when I heard that the project was postponed. Well, after that, I brushed my teeth and had some breakfast. I started watching some random YouTube videos. Soon, I realized that now I don't have any Facebook updates, which felt good. Also, I had to complete the Project Scope Document for FeastHunt. So, I worked on that till the lunch time. At around 3 pm, I had lunch.After that, I moved on to do some work on the problem that we all were solving for the last week. Meanwhile, I mailed the document that I had prepared, to Akshay and Dallas. I also told them that even if I don't make it to the lunch tomorrow, please go to bistro grill for that lunch. Anyways, after that I took a bath, and reverted back to the problem again. This went on till 7 pm, when a company wide call was scheduled. The call was mostly a status call, and informed everyone about the things that each one of us is involved in. After the call, I had some snacks. Then, I and Ankit had a small internal call, where we discussed the part of the problem that I was working on. I was nearly able to do it, but something was stopping one of the transformation to not work. I tried to rectify it, but then decided to handle it tomorrow. Then, I started random browsing and came across an album link with the photos of iGames which were held in Deloitte. Our team name was Scooby Dooby Don't and we just missed the prize. Anyways, here is the link to the album. Then, I started writing this diary, and next I plan to have dinner, and then sleep early by around 12:00 am. Also, I hope that I can get Akshay and Dallas on a call at around 11. Let's see. 

Diary 80: Sleeping and Facebook Deactivation Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:00 am. Today, I woke up at around 10:30 am. I was still feeling very sleepy. I brushed my teeth and had my breakfast. After that I just checked my mails and all, and started browsing random stuff. After that I got bored and started watching the TV. Then, I moved back again to my room and just laid down on my bed. My sister was solving Physics questions, so I was guiding her in the solutions in between. She has certainly improved but still a long way to go. Then, we had our lunch. After that, I watched the TV for a while, and then again moved back to my room to sleep. But, I was continuously pestered by my sister. She was asking me a lot of questions on Physics. Although I liked answering those but she should give her full try first. Anyways, I slept off in a while. I woke up at around 7:30 pm. I went on to check my mails and all. I realized that tonight I will start with the No Facebook week. I was going to deactivate my Facebook account. Before that I played a lot of Fruit Slasher and Pacman there. I reached a new high score on Pacman, but I am way behind Anisha and Divyansh. Anyways, I started watching YouTube videos and also downloaded the guitar pro file of the song - "Numb". I wanted the drum track of that song, for my own song - In Palko. It fits very nicely, but later I lost interest in that, as it was not sounding very good. After all this, I had some Tea and some snacks, and started playing games on Facebook again. Then, I had dinner and watched the TV for a while. After that, it was around 11:15 am, when I decided that I should deactivate the account now. So, I did that and was feeling very good already. Meanwhile, I got a shocking mail from Gil that the project that was supposed to start tomorrow, is not starting before Wednesday. I was frustrated, and he also mentioned that please come to office like normal office day. I wondered how the hell will I go. I decided that I will assume that I didn't read the mail till the morning time and then I would say that it is too late to join in. I may go on Tuesday just to show my dedication. Basically, I want work. One more thing, today we were supposed to have a conference call with the Webprint Guy but Akshay ditched it for no particular reason. After all this, I started watching YouTube videos again. Also, I found a opened Wine bottle in the refrigerator. I wonder when was it opened. I had two sips from that, and kept it as I had found it. Then, I wrote this post and now, I am planning to sleep by 1 am. I am still sleepy. Damn !
