I'm 30

Dear diary .... and I turn 30. I have completed half of my life give or take 10 years. Birthday is a day to reflect on rest of the days of your year. For me the year end and birthday overlaps. So I make my decisions and commitments two days prior to 31 and have a head start . Well using the work head start is not me. I on principle do not compare myself with other people. I'm not living their lives so I have no right to compare my with theirs. So how was my year ? you ask!! It was good , I do not remember being sad for a single day.  Missed a trekking trip with a friend.  Some work days were long and tough. Gwalior trips with nice people from office Ace awards from office Married off a few people Tokyo and Singapore trip Amazing Amritsar and Wagah trip Rakshabandhan with Sisters and Brothers Stage play in office Go Karting from office  Swimming lessons Retirement of an uncle First Hackathon attempt  Engaged off a cousin  Watched my office team play cricket Saw

Can't Google this

The search had begun. This thing cannot be googled, my parents are looking for a suitable bride for me. Is not going to be easy. You know what I am, a geek nerd and that too a proud one. And girls do not usually get nerds. This is good that I believe in fate and destiny ,  god would have made someone for me, maybe from my last birth. So what do I ask the girl when I meet her? what do I tell her? I believe the beauty lies in the eyes of beholder. So no miss world or miss universe would do for me. I would like a simple looking girl, whose heart is at the right place. All that is a bit difficult to guess in a meeting that lasts 15 min. And as you might know I'm terrible at judging people, I tend to oversee the imperfections and look at the positive attributes. But I don't know if I would be able to do that when I marry someone. Probably I'll learn how to live with her imperfections as she would have to learn to live with mine. Marriage is a complicated agreement, unlike our

Ciao

So a lot has happened since my last post which was technically few hours ago written an year I have been to Italy, innovation fest, trip with colleagues, fashion show just few of the things in a happening day to day life. Coming to present have almost started recovery from the worst viral fever as far as I can remember. There was this typhoid once which was bad and then the infection some years ago. I cabby really decide what to make this about work or health. I'll choose nothing Life doesn't always behave as you want it to, you'll get fever, crazy project with bad deadlines that would disrupt the normal flow and bring in some kind of excitement. It seems like disruptions are in season everywhere, everything is changing at a place that it is difficult for any one to follow. Algorithm is all that seem to matter now that not the input. Well I didn't study that subject in college but I gather that's different algorithm. Machine learning is the topic to look out for.

Change scenario

Time for a change

Dear diary Its time. After 5 years in a wonderful company of sorts. to move on with life to clean the board and to write anew. To start from scratch and write a story again. Journey started on 21st December 2009 ,morning 10 am and I was 1 hour late and did not get the rose everyone got. 2 delhites and rest from Chennai and Hyderabad.Had on and off sessions of training in Java. On 5th Feb I joined the account where I have now served for more than 5 years. I had joined on probation and got confirmed on 31st March 2010. I remember how happy I was as my salary had got increased As expected I was not so happy till I went to Germany , then the things started to get bette. First trip in 2010 second in 2012 and last in 2014. Had a wonderful time roaming around the Europe. There were so many things that I would carry with me for whole of my life. Things That got drilled into me and mistakes which lead to learning. The most important part was the kind of wonderful people I met. Germans , I

Playing with vanity part 1

Dear diary In coming new days I'll play with my vanity and gather some words of praise that people have written about me on orkut Kya kahun. Namoonein to bahut dekhen hain , magar tumsa koi nahin. Bande main content to bahut hai, bas presentation ki thodi problem hai. Par ek baat hai. Itna honest bandaa dhoodhne par bhi nahin milega. Cares about his friends. Will tell you wherever u are wrong, even if he has to risk his friendship. Will take the right deicision , no matter what he s going through. A man you can always count on. Let me start with a translation. The guy says , he has seems many samples (including himself ) but he has not seen anyone like me, I have content but the presentation is not quite right (i.e I'm not so user friendly). One thing is sure that you cannot find a more honest guy then me. Rest is in English , truth is I cannot digest this much vanity therefore I would not go on to explain the rest. I had decided to do this sometime ago and this po

Uncertainities

Dear diary Hi everyone out there, I just had my breakfast at the time I usually have my lunch. So what! it is Saturday a holiday. A day I decided to write something to my dear diary. In some minutes I wish to get out of the house and get some sun light but I wish I can finish the entry before that. So what do I write now. Now days my workplace is full of uncertainties , I would not write the details because that would be so unthoughtful of me. In any case that environment makes you have same conversations and discussions every time there is some new development. Every time you get a hint or you get a feeling you evaluate the whole situations again according to that. Especially if there are things in your future that depend on that breaking news. Since I'm at a very low level in the hierarchy not all the news and reactions to the news reach us. Most of the things are absorbed at each level and get filtered to suit our stature. And there are ways to do that , one way is to not le
