Humorous journey

It was Sunday evening 4pm; I took intercity express to Secunderabad after spending weekend at home. To my surprise the train was half filled, this wasn’t same 2 weeks ago. I sat beside an old man who was in sleepy mode. The seat left to us was filled by 3 aunties; all are of equal age mid 30’s. My opposite seat was taken by a young man. The train started with in 5min of halt and the humor begins. The first words I heard from one of the aunt was “The seat was not comfortable for us. By the time our kids complete their 2^nd year of intermediate this should be comfortable”. Little smile came on my face, but soon the next incident can’t stop me laughing aloud. That incident was, a fruit seller came at that time and aunt bought some fruits, she started eating and stopped the samosa vendor to take some. Then the guy sat opposite to me asked “How can you lose calories if your intake is too much”. They started arguing on this topic and later moved to different topics like 'men Vs women', 'strong Vs weak' etc. When the atmosphere is becoming a little bit hot, then we heard a man shouting biscuits and ice cream. We people exchanged our looks and started laughing. After few minutes aunt got her chance. The guy opposite me was 32 years old and unmarried. She asked him, why he was still a bachelor? He explained a few reasons and said he was in search now. Aunt asked what the qualities you are looking for. The word war between them made us laugh and drops of water roll off from our eyes.

Lucky Day - Happy Day

Yesterday was a lucky day. First thing was, I got my black cap that was lost 10+ days back. Second one was a sensation. I played in an ongoing internal pool tournament (my first ever) along with my teammate Amardeep. We are not even average pool players. We beat one of the tough opponents in doubles first round. The game was played as follow. The winners will be selected from best of 3 matches. The victory in first match swung from one team to another. My last shot (potted two + black balls) of that match gave us first win. Second game was completely dominated by opponents from beginning; we fought hard but lost the match. The first half of final match was dominated by us and we are left with only black ball to pot where as opposition had 4 balls. One chance for opponents changed the game in which they potted all 4 balls and black remained for potting. Audience are enjoying the game and are in superb tension. Some ones bad luck will becomes some others good luck. It happened for our opposition; the black ball came almost near the pot but was not potted. With an easy shot I completed the match and we are through to next round...!!!
None can stop you, if the day is yours. Live everyday as it's your day.

A week that boost my confidence as a technical specialist

Last week was a workaholic week, releasing a cumulative patch to one of our customer. Only few issues need to be fixed but there were lot of scenarios to test. We planned to fix all the issues first and then verify the test cases as they are interrelated. We were able to fix them easily. Our only concern was preparation of few hazardous settings for testing. After few hours of hard work, we are able test and finally release the patch. Apart this cumulative patch, I helped friends in finding the resolution of similar product issues. I'm able to debug the code of product (TCA) and find solution for cross product problems. These journeys never stop/end but when looked back gives a lot of satisfaction.

One more SAD day

The day was 18th Aug and the sad news is one of my dearest friends, Dilip's father passed away. I got the news on 17th late night and it made a bit sleepless. Hanumanth and I planned to visit Dilip's house in the early hours of 18th morning. We made it on early hours and expressed our sympathy. For the first time in my life I looked at the body so close(looks like sleeping) . We offered prayers (be silent) for few minutes. Then we sat with him for some time discussing how it happened.

In that time I observed a kid (relative of Dilip) playing, crying and doing whatever he likes irrespective of the situation. Why didn't we remain as a child all the time (without growing)? This question arose in my mind after hearing a chain of these kinds of incidents (some natural and some suicide). We can't help the natural ones but suicide is intolerable. My intellect was revisiting few souls. I came back from my thoughts with the call "Please have some Tea".

From Dilip, we find that the death was natural and was due to mild heart attack. I remembered my grandfather who died in the sleep without any pain. That was a gift from GOD. I always believe the pains before death are punishments (on earth, the hell is waiting for the rest) of the crime. Dilip's father had fulfilled most of the responsibilities he had and passed away when he was a happy man. We were about to leave, but tears are still rolling from Dilip's eyes. We had few more condolence words with him. Promising him, that we will be always with him for any need, we left the place.
May the soul rest in peace...!!!

Journey towards Blogging

        While exploring the Google features/products, came across blogger in 2007. Read a few sample blogs and didn't find anything interested. Inspired from the below incident, I wrote my first blog on 28th April 2008 i.e. is my school (JNVV) song. While Googling for code help i.e. how to execute UNIX commands in JAVA, I found a blog which exactly satisfied my requirements. I want to thank that blog creator and visited the profile; it’s a girl’s profile whose name starts with P...... :~) I'm new to blogs but not her. Already there are around 100+ blogs. Started reading one by one and after 30 minutes I came to know that I have read more than 50+ blogs. They are mix of jokes (made me laugh), journey incidents, journal (boring tough) and some tragedy (made my cry). But Life goes on. Still I'm following her blogs whose count now is around 400+.

        I wanted to continue blogging to share my experiences but didn't find much time then (I'm a bit lazy too). One thing through which I shared my experiences was Google talk status. Friends responded with many good compliments, comments and corrections. Then started a blog in which I started updating my gtalk status often (==Twitter).

        Now once again I find some time to write a blog. All things are created twice, one in vision and other in action. In my case things are created more than twice because I create multiple times in vision before implementing. So many words to say but many are buried in my mouth. I will try to share them through blogging.
