Blogging ....naaahhh not my cup of tea
This was what i thought 'bout blogging previously but now since i have started it , it seems fun. Earlier i was very adamant 'bout sharing my personal life with anyone but now it seems why not...it gives u a great platform to share u'r views on topics of u'r choice. I will try to keep this updated as much as i can.
Down the memory lane
I just read the postings on deepanjan's blog regarding his dad. There was a comment on it asking him whether he misses his dad the same way as he did 1 year back. This makes me wonder whether i miss my dad too. It has been 17 yrs since i lost him but the event seems like just yesterday. Life tries to make u forget the past but then there are times when it tries to make u remember the past. Though the memories of old days seems to be fading but there remains a black hole in u'r heart which keeps u reminding of the emptiness there.
Everybody says he is out there somewhere keeping a watch on us but there are times when u feel that why is he there and not beside me. Someone once said to me that god needed him more than us .....it seems god was also greedy of luv that he spread all around.
Anyway life goes on and on and we keep the light of his love burning in out heart and whatever happens 17 yrs or ..50 yrs it doesn't matter the light will still remain in our heart.
Travel plans....never plan it
Today we found out how bad can the plans fail.....my brother had booked ticket in one of the leading airlines of india and here is it's story. He had to travel from Bangalore to Ranchi ( Jharkhand just for reference). The flight was scheduled from Bangalore to Calcutta at 3:30 pm. It took off at 10:30pm for no reason whatso ever. Hence he missed the connecting train for Ranchi. Now he took a flight ticket in the same airlines for Ranchi the next morning. The flight took off at 7:00 am the next morning and for whole night he had to wait in the waiting lounge as he couldn't get the booking at the dormitory at such a short notice. Now this flight flew to Ranchi and came back as it couldn't land because of fog. Ok so now what does he do. He gets the refund and books another ticket for the same airlines at 4:00 pm. Now the 4:00pm flight gets cancelled for some technical snag. Cool what kind of flights do these people have. Do the airlines do anything 'bout it. Nope they just refund the money. Wow what a great system they have. Finally he tries a train booking which he doesn't get and then finally somehow he gets a bus ticket and boards the bus at 7:00pm in the evening.
So the trip had been planned more than one month in advance and the result is an entertaing trip till the end. So whatever plans u make ..make sure u plan for the worst case scenario giving the airlines ample of time to play around with.
Code Olympics
We have a coding competion tommorrow which is an overnight affair where u get 24 hrs to implement u'r idea ...i thought i was ok at writing code but when the word competition comes in it bombs me heavily leaving me stranded looking for some sort of relief at the deserted office. Hope we can present atleast something at the final presentation but .. the main motive will definetly get fulfilled ...getting a t-shirt having Code Olympics stamped on it ...so that we can boast around that we had participated. Only thing is i won't get any sleep tommorrow.
The ball has started rolling
Finally i have decided to start blogging but god save the people who have the patience to read my blog
