InSidE oUt

Am home and i really love it so far. Had a pretty nice christmas at my grandmom’s place. Its a village. A proper one. Met up with cousins n all… Was fun. and also put up a small skit in the church there… in telugu!!! was a nice experience and dad spoke.. was really surprised… It was actually pretty good. Except for this… It was pretty late in the night. so the kids couldnt hold on that long.

It was really cute.

And apart from that did pretty much everythin i usually do at home. There is a big wedding tomorrow that am goin to attend. Let me rephrase that. It pretty big for everyone around me, except for me. The fact that i dont know either the groom or the bride that well might have a lot to do with it. But its the first christian weddin i am gonna attend so excited bout that! Yes its the FIRST!

And the year is ending. Dont really know how that makes me feel. 2007, 4 yrs back, seemed the unreachable, paramount destination in life. The very first week in college… when i was at the verge of a nervous breakdown or rather the peak of regret, it was then that my mom told me “its just a matter of four years and dont worry u will begin to like it” and lo and behold like every other time, rather most times, she was right, yes, again !!!! i hate it when that happens.

But things worked out pretty well this year. Learnt a lot. Hoping for greater things.

Had a moderately good past coupla days. Atleast now we seem to be on the right track as far as the first module is concerned.

Bn coming back home pretty late.
Met bency, thanu n meenu today… was gr8! Except for some extremely unreasonable n childish demands!!! Its not like i dint wanna, bency, but just couldn’t. Hope u understand.

And pls send the snaps jaldi.

me leaving on saturday. Hope things work out fine before i leave esp regarding the templates. Cant wait to get home.

Am totally losing interest in bloggin. Not only am I finding it difficult to update but its all the more difficult when all the blogs u read regularly have become static pages so to speak.

I need inspiration.

“I do not understand what I do. For what i want to do, i do not do, but what i hate, i do.” Romans 7:15

So many times i feel myself in a similar situation. Thats when i have to realize how incapable i am of doin anything right on my own.  Have to accept it, and ask for help.

There is no specific reason for this post. Just somethin i was pondering over.

Had our second last functional review for this yr. Turns out….. that our conception of the GUI was all wrong. I somehow remember gettin the correct picture during the previous review. But our subsequent visits to meet the tech team kinda led us away from that idea… I hate it when that happens… Why cant there be proper communication between the 2 guys. Would save us so much trouble…. Basically, we are back to square 1.

Need to figure out a way to make the text entry simpler.

And after the meeting, decided to stay on till evening for the christmas program at NLAG. so hung around at city centre. like that place. less crowded. definitely better than spencers. some might disagree. But i still feel it is. Got back home by 10. the pgm was good…. esp the drama….. but i must say.. having got used to listenin to the 100 voice choir at colg…. i tend to get very critical about choirs in general.. so singing was not that gr8…. not bad either…. but not as good.

I am gettin used to having no weekend. Those were the days in hostel…. when “saturday” had so much meaning to it. It meant…… Sleepin till late, Lazing around, watchin movies, sleep again….. and just basically do nothin…. kinda recharging for the week ahead. i miss that

Will be goin to church tomorrow, going to an orphanage tomorrow after church…

Yes its hardly been 2 weeks since the project started and the tension is building up!

It was only today that the reality and vastness of the project hit me. Only now did i understand that its almost like remaking the entire system. I dont know if i am ready for this.

We couldnt even rite that one query that our techg gave us. Atleast we got the concept rite. the syntax r kinda diff. But i never imagined that a one page long query could ever be written.

Had a nice time yesterday, met donk. Felt nice. Dunno what or why but it was different.

The ppl at work r chasing a deadline and r supposedly busy so they asked us to work from home. Went today to get some doubts clarified and landed up with more doubts. There is such huge communication probs within the team itself. The functional head tells us one requirement and the tech team shoots it down! Just like that.

And upar se this certification exam thingie. Not prepared at all…… not preparing either. Hope i just clear it…

Got back only at 9:30… have a splittng headache. Just wanna crash.

feels like i had no weekend. was at sonex till 3 yesterday. got back by 7. ( kindly ignore the unaccounted time difference!). Today…. left for church at 9:30ish. Met allan there. that was unexpected. stayed back fro youth meet. was good. except for the ackwardness! Got permission to shift tomorrow’s meeting for tuesday! compensation for absence of a weekend. Spoke to flav after a long time for just a coupla mins…. Angel please reply to messages!!!!

lookin fwd to good sleep!

ps. i love my laptop

ok the title is exaggerated. But i really feel like i have travelled all over chennai. mayb the fact that my feet r killing me is closely associated with me making a statement like that!

the presentation went off well. got some major doubts clarified.Now i am scared bout doing it. Not as easy as i thought it would be. So many things to keep in mind. Have to get started rite away. I dont like this daily mailing business. Now the chances of me riting that exam seem lesser coz we have a deadline for 16th to come up with atleast half the screens. will leave that for later i guess.

Was going thru the ol pics. this one is one of my favs. Captures the evening sky along with the royal DMB(my hostel block)

I dont get it. Its not like i am gonna be evaluating people when i ask them for directions or or the bus number…. gosh. half/ little knowledge really is dangerous.

They act like they r on the hot seat in KBC and just crap their way thru and its me who ends up in a mess. I was misled by 3 people on the same day.

I have decided to rely on my instincts from now on. NO more asking people. dont care if i end up in the middle of no where.

and guess what… found a new bus route which takes us to tcs in less than half hour as compared to a tiresome 45 mins by our good ol 46. It takes to the end of 2 avenue which makes it just a 2 minute walk to tcs from the stop. cool eh. this time ignorance  was so not bliss.

Tomorrow is a meeting with the big guy… the client i mean. have to show our presentation. not prepared enough. wasted the entire day in tcs waiting to get our presentation reviewed for changes.

our guide wants us to appear for the Microsoft certification exam for SQL server 2000 on dec 20th. have t start preparing for that along with the templates for our modules. Getting kinda scared.

Spoke to my classmate from school thru yahoo….the irony being, i never spoke to him while in school. i consider it my loss.

Hopin to have a good weekend. Looking forward to church with lots of expectations!

Labelling done on demand!
