The Bug and the Weekend

How can miss a chance to put a little blade, when I have opened this blog to scrub some crap, like always I do. Well.. Saturday morning I woke up at sharp 7.. trust me I did. I was in office at sharp 8:30 to look into some customer found bug. Started my as usual weekday life on week end too by logging in to gmail and Microsoft outlook. Opened the bug page. Stared the monitor with forcefully widened eyes and found that, the status of the bug was same. Nothing is been updated. I stared my code from different angels, it did not understand neither my feelings nor my emotions.

I was little lazy to check out the files and make changes and compile it and test. Frankly speaking I was not lazy, Instead I was told to think differently and also to fix the issue by thinking "out of the box". I tried a lot but neither my vi editor nor my VxWorks did not understand anything. Blamed linux for not having intelligence to understand the pain of the developer on Saturday. However made up mind to look at the code seriously to fix the issue. Started with entry point and traced the code till the exit, including all the functions. Everything looked fine. Traced again, still felt code should work. Felt that is why i am still a developer. Though of junking the bug, But tester had logs in which output was wrong. Junking option is ruled out.

The immediate thing flashed in my mind was " how about differing this bug" to next release. I felt happy as I got the best idea. I have a bad habit of taking coffee when I get such great ideas.. Went near coffee machine. To my surprise I met release manager and talked about this bug with her. After half an hour of discussion she convinced me that "It is a MUST FIX". All my dreams shattered. I felt like running away from this software. I cursed the tester for rising this bug on Friday evening.

Well it was 12:30, when I was back to my seat. Made a strong decision to trace the code line by line this time. To my surprise again all the lines looked perfectly fine. Felt testing the best job. Though of saying bye to this development job and saying Hi to testing job. But however I had to fix the issue, even if I decide to switch the job also. Went for lunch and on the way back to office after lunch made up my mind to at least put prints and see what is happening. When I came back and tried connecting to server, connection got timed out. Server was down for some migration. I cursed myself for wasting time from the morning. When I called up IT desk, I came to know that, servers will be down for 30 minutes. It was then I decided to do some "orkuting" and "youtubing". I lost myself in the world of little faces on the orkut and soccer videos of youtube. I only realized it was 5, when my friend called me to ask me whether I am joining to play cricket with them. I replied him that I am very very busy today as I have to fix some bug and I cant come. I went out for a coffee and returned at 5:45. Checked my mails again and had to leave for my marriage shopping and left the office.

I decided to come back to office on Sunday and work on it. Felt "Sunday and office" Naa!!!!!!!! Somehow I don't like this combination on Sunday morning. So started my day by skipping the breakfast and went to hotel straight for the lunch. It was a good day, though bug was running as a background process. With all this how can I resist myself "not to hate Monday morning"

One Night With Nature

"Feelings change But memories Don't ".

"One night with nature" is my first lazy outing I had so far. Well, even though it was a lazy outing I would say I cant forget this night. I would love to cherish those moments, probably when I sit with the same pals in some pub at my late forties.

Well, it was me, vinay(mamu), pradeep(reddy) and arif sipping a drought beer at Guzzler's Inn planned to go out of Blore on the coming week end. Guess what ! Four guys.. ....and discussion ended up with five destinations. We started with Jammu and ended up in Kanyakumari, still were not sure where to go. Couple of the days passed and guys remained silent as if nothing happened or discussed on the Friday evening. Somehow after forty odd mails got exchanged, we decided to gather to a common place and toss a coin to decide the destination :(. Later reddy's effort was enough to book the Home stay for us right in the middle of the thick forest and this decided our destination.

Alright, On saturday morning Vinay drove his OPTRA(magnum) all over the blore to pick everyone of us. It was 6:45 when we hit NICE road, the thrill started from here. Mamu made 2.0 engine to roar to point the needle on the speedometer to 188. It was an stunning experience for me. After the speed testing, we joined mysore road and were able to race it only up to 140 max on that road. However we managed to reach hotel Dasprakash in mysore for breakfast within two and half hours.

Trust me this is the best scrumptious, yummy breakfast I ever had while traveling. Reddy made sure that everybody had adequate quantity for their first meal of the day.

After everyone repleted, as usual arif started complaining about so called stomuch..... But this time looked like mamu was not much intersted to suggest him anything. It was the time to say bye to city of palaces. We maneuvered our car towards HUNSUR and at the deviation steered towards our left to reach GONIKOPPALU.This drive was awful as it was the gateway to the dense forest. From Gonikoppalu we drove to a village called T.Shettihalli. Even this drive was awesome as we had dense forest on both the side of the roads and AC was off in the car and windows were down. Mamu's car was driving him crazy and the cool breeze was driving all of crazy. When we just neared Rajiv Gandi National Park, the view of the lake between the bamboo trees made us half-baked. It was something like it looked as if it is very easy to reach the lake through the bamboo forest, But it was not that easy. Anyway we didn't get out of the car.

It was almost 1:30 when we finally hit our destination called "Mountain Mist Jungle Stay" located in KKR estate, which is right in the middle of the dense green forest.
One single house near the natural pond which is surrounded by the thick forest and around 35 km away from the place where one get see some people movement. It was a house totally detached from the world. Forget about mobile signal or TV , They did not even had a power connection.

Well all of us had a great lunch and admired nature by looking at the peak of the mountain located at the border of Karnataka and Kerala. Giving break for short period started playing the short pitch cricket. More often Reddy or Arif use to hit ball into the jungle and we spent more time in searching for ball rather in playing. Later we converted that short pitch into full pitch and started playing. This was the remarkable part of our outing. Boys played enough and sat

for round table conference in that small ground, the extended sides of which are encircled by forest. By the time coffee with bajji and sweets was served by aunt all of us were deep into the topic of "Improving Farmers life in India". The discussion ended up with the conclusion that "Retail is going to be biggest boom and hence invest".This is how we improved the life of farmers.

Finally the most awaited part of the outing took its charge as it was 8 o clock. Within no time everybody said "CHEERS" sitting in front of the camp fire arranged.
Though all our watches read the time as 8 o clock, it veritably was looking and feeling as if midnight is been passed already. I felt I am on top of heaven during this time. What else do u need ... Totally detached from the world, You are with the best pals, clear sky on your head, shuddery sounds from the forest, camp-fire, absence of your manager and most important "Chilled Beer" can in your hand. Spoke some nonsense for hours sipping the drought beer. Then realized the fact that its still 10 and we can not afford wait till breakfast. Hence headed for dinner.

After having delicious dinner, came back to the same spot and started arguing on "Software company Modeling and Policies". Poor engineers were not able to reach conclusion this time.
Hashed out about some crap for hours together and surrendered ourselves to sleep.

By the time I woke up in morning, Mamu, Arif and Reddy were enjoying the nature and Pranab was enjoying his sleep. Went for a walk in the jungle. When we went inside the smell of the decayed leaves with wet soils made us crazy. After a long walk boys returned to the nest and had a breakfast and drove back to mysore. We had our lunch in my house and headed to blore.

Overall it was a great experience, as we enjoyed every second of the trip.

Ronaldo: The True Devil

Cristiano Ronaldo "has the world in front of him". The red devil fans are very eager to know "Can Ronaldo beat Denis Law's total of 46 set in 1963-64?? ".
This season being the best for ronaldo already has 34 goals against him. Ronaldo has another 12 games left in the current season, if he plays every match and Manchester United reach the Champions League final. Considering a goal per match this red devil will write his name in golden pages of the old tarfford heroes.

Myself being die hard fan for portugal winger, I feel he can even touch magical 50 this season. He curse himself if he gives rest to his feets on the ground. Runs like a white horse when he is away. Cuts the ball like a true red devil in the home. Even though he has a dream to play to spain before he says bye bye to soccer, he will be MANU's bull for long time.

Look at the way Alex Ferguson glorifies my football hero !! I just love reading it again and again.

When George played as a winger I don't think he ever stayed still. He roamed from side to side - he played on the right, the left and through the middle," The Sun quoted Ferguson, as saying.
"I've looked at Best's goals and a lot of Cristiano's are similar. He starts from wide positions before cutting inside. The boy's in tremendous form right now,"
And Ferguson also feels there are similarities between Ronaldo and another world great footballer - Diego Maradona.
"His form is absolutely fantastic, there is no end to where we think he can go,"

Though Red Devils started the season with most of the goals against them, Now they are on the top of EPL with 76 points. The way they played this season was just awesome. Lets see who will snatch the cup??

SUGGI - 2008 Tradition Continues

"Why do you Knock at the heaven's doors.... You are at the right place" ...Wondering what I am talking about OR Thinking this kid has gone mad now ??
No.. Not yet. It would have made sense by this time if u were part of RBDGTC family and would have enjoyed the yearly program called SUGGI.

Well... It was 22nd of March a cloudy Saturday in Bangalore. I was not able to see the blue sky, But on the same day I ended up enjoying with the "Band of Boys in Blue". It was almost 4 o clock when we three(Myself, Borgal and Girya) reached the hostel gate. Parked our bikes in hurry, and walked with curiosity to see how our juniors have arranged the farewell stage to honour their seniors. We all headed towards the "The Bell" function hall. I became standstill and speechless when I saw the suggi banner, Sri Totadappas photo in Rangoli and decoration of the stage. I uttered just Awesome, Excellent !!!

After hearing a moralistic speech from the morning, guys and gals were desperate to drift themselves to the most interesting part of the suggi called "Cultural Events".
I would call it as Talent Showcase Show rather than cultural event. Anyway who cares for the name ... Most of us think about the cognitive content.
Well..! it started with dance from "Taraa Taraa Taraa Nanna Taraa, Illi Yaaru Illa Kane Nanna Taraa", the magnificent dance from our junior. The way he danced for this song was just classic. And as usual you are bound to hear some screams from the crowd. Those screams, those comments and the group dance on the floor without caring what's happening on the stage was just great to watch.

Moving forward, when master of ceremonies announced "Next is group dance from band of girls" .. Our boys started screaming like a hell, Master could not help :)
The group dance was the perfect blend of songs from the movie JOGI.. It was an awesome performance. I liked the way our boys at the doors of the heaven responded to the performance. They cheered all the girls on the stage. I still remember one guy shouting his room number when one of the girl was asking the crowd "Ello Jogappa Ninna Aramane? " .. :) For every question in the song at least one boy had an instant answer ready. I enjoyed those the most. This dance was followed by "Modern Babruvahan" drama in the bar. It was simply fantastic.

After couple of such dances and skits, our guys started making and running the train without the track. The one thing I could not understand was "Train use to turn towards the right all the time, where girls were sitting :) .. I though right side track was probably closed for maintainance. The program was really coming to an end..

Guys and gals with no mood to return struggled a lot to make up their minds to return back. Before they headed to have the dinner, it was TRILOCHAN who asked all the final year students to gather on the stage. Trust me it was scene which filled my eyes with tears of joy.
All the final year students were on the stage .. Some were standing and some were sitting just to make photographer's job easy. When they made comfortable themselves with their positions and said cheese for couple of clicks, I was really in tears cherishing memories of my engineering days. I fall short of words if I try to glorify the moments which caressed my heart.

Finally the bell rang and all maneuvered towards the mess. After a loooooong time I had a chance to taste the best food. I was in hostel for couple more hours after dinner, as we had to practice the skit. All guys with their respective groups were talking about only one thing .. Guess what ??......... Yes you are right. :)

It was Sunday morning, I decided to move to hostel at 2 as alumni's slot was from 2:30 to 4. I could not resist myself, So I was in hostel by 12:30. All boys calmly listened to the moral speech by our hostel trustees till 3 :) ..and the roller coaster ride of fun called "cultural Events" was about to start. All boys were impatient.. and we alumin guys started preaching them importance of communication, interview techniques bla bla.. . The good part part was they listened to it .. Atleast did not shout back at us to stop :)

The second cultural day started with band of girls dancing for "Mauja hi mauja" from the movie 'Jab We Met".. This time guys did not make train as it is little old technique ... They started parade. Unfortunately this time also leader turned towards his left and stood in front of girls and respected them with Namaskara. After that the program was followed by some awesome skits like modern Mahabharat, Cricket demo and some beautiful dances like "Jinke Marinaa Jinke Marinna" etc.I would say it was very funny to see.... Totally I enjoyed my time there.

Thanks to all juniors for executing this year suggi in a wonderful way. Also I owe thanks to you guys for helping me to cherish my memories of "Best days of my Life".
