Basics of Lyrics

On the way back home from office, I was listening to this song, "Adhoore tum, adhoore hum, bin tumhare" from the movie "break ke baad".

There were these lyrics somewhere in the song "Woh raat ki chupi mein, shor natkhat chor de". Either writer is trying to explain his snoring problem or may be unknowingly the air pollution he makes while sleeping :P

Angle naya hai, mujhe lagta hai humein ise aur discuss karna chahiye :P

(S)M(ile)-stone!!

Sorry, guys, for being absent from the garden. I was a little busy. Oh yeah!! Am a busy gal these days. :P I had a meeting near Amsterdam, Netherlands. Day was good and meeting was successful.  Now aftermath of meeting is the loads of work to be done. :(

I am sitting in flight writing this and feeling quite good. I gave a presentation on the agenda and the structure of the document, we would be working on.  I am on ninth cloud, and why should I not?? say say? tell tell? Not a big deal, but still I am happy.

I didn't know that small progress like these would boost my confidence. I am still far far away from my goal, but I am happy I am walking. Even if these are baby steps, never mind every baby grows. So will I :D

My boss said he was quite satisfied the way meeting went and we should be able to plan for next task. He was in a good mood. So, I thought I should take advantage of this and asked him for holiday. Approved!!! yippyyyyyyyy :D 

I was talking to my colleague who was with me along with my boss on this trip and he gave me insight that I should give a little more try. I should focus more on my PhD topic. These things are definitely value adding, but still they will not lead to my technical knowledge. Its like a whirlpool that I should be aware of. So, I need to be a little more active towards my phd work.

While I was in the meeting, I was feeling sleepy, was trying my level best to keep myself awake. When I am too sleepy, two things that I can never hide, rather three, are suddenly I get running nose. My eyes and nose would leak like theres is waterfall inside them. I have an embarrassing habit of snoring (thanks to sinusitis). Whenever, I get sleepy, I snore. You can imagine how awkward it would get if I snore in the meeting. Third reason is rather a bit cute an it reminds me of my Mom :P

I clearly remember, when my Dad and sister used to have some sort of serious discussion, and when my Mom tries to participate in the discussion, the scene is worth watching. If discussion were too technical, my Mom would be easily bored and looses interest. She would get sleepy but to keep up with the discussion, she would try to keep herself awake. At this moment, her expression would be, as if a grave problem is being discussed. Issue might not be as severe as expressions on my Moms face. For last 2-3 times I realized, I was doing the same thing. ;P

They say LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON, I guess in my case it should be LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTER" ;)

Song of the moment -

Rehna tu hai jaisa tu, thora sa dard tu thora sukun, deema deem jhonka ya phir joonun....

Do (not) Program

Last night, I couldn't get a good night sleep. Actually I slept quite late, was sorting some pics and captioning them etc. I am in office now, I am so so soooooooo sleepy. I have already tried almost all the standard solution to keep awake myself. 

1) Take a walk.

Nah!! this made me more tired and sleepiness got worst.

2) Drink lots of water. 

Oh yeah!! I had 2 ltrs and now its to-fro to the toilet. My colleague is giving me looks.

3) Do programming.

Seems to be a good idea......

:D

:D

:D

After sometime..why my code not getting complied?? where is the error?  :-O

Oh No!! When did I write "bad leaves" in my java code???  :-((

Intoxication

Before I forget about another breakthrough event in my life, I should write an account of it. So, let me try to convert my feelings into words. 

It was for the first time in my life that I had been on business trip. Nothing new about that? Many times, many people do that, nothing new right? Yeah, I know, but there is always first time for everything and this was MY first time. First time to actually see how planning for big & financially crucial projects are done.  How much effort in terms of time & money goes into planning? Honestly, I did not know a single person there, though I had exchanged lot of mails with them so many times. Although, I did not present any thing in meeting, but still thanks to my boss and colleague D, for being there with me. Guiding me time to time. 

Its not attending workshop/conference with big shots that matter. I think when you attend these kinds of business trips you are being tested. How smart or intelligent are you in putting forward your idea in front of giants of the field. How good your interpersonal skills are. How well you receive new ideas from them. Also, importantly, you know deep down inside that you are pushing yourself to the limits and have pushed the ceiling of hesitation and inhibition a little further.

In short this trip was a boost to my confidence and I hope this will help me in speeding up my work. Imagine the scene when you are presenting your work in front of experts of the field and you sheepishly hide your self behind the dais, when they ask you all freaking question. I want to experience that, no matter how bad its going to be. I know I am sadist :P

I start this post with some different mood and now this song has changed my mood completely. Its "bekarar" from movie "pathshala". I guess lyrics completely fit with what’s going on in my mind.  May be, other meaning of "making progress" is also to leave things and people behind. For a moment, success can make you happy, but not for long. After sometime you realize that those people were actually important. 

The only static thing is "change" and only unstoppable thing is "time". So I am just riding on wave called LIFE. May be I am too intoxicated with it :P

So long!! bye bye
