SIlverLight

I am working something new yet again .. yes dont you envy me.. well thats just being lucky :)
but i have to work on this new technology intorduced by microsoft its called the 'SILVERLIGHT' it sounds cool and is coool.. so i am all geared up for it.

Other than that what is keeping me busy in life is work .. weekends filled with birthdays or functions or get togethers.. there is so much more happening in life with work in tandum that i am actually exhausted .. i am craving for a vacation in which i dont have to do anything but sleep.. just go out with out any to do list and eat loads of fruits and juices ... just beautiful life..
i am soo dreaming of all that to happen to me. but i doubt that if it really does happen to me i am not sure for how long will i be able to enjoy it .. if you are a workoholic .. there are times when you are scraed of the fact that you wont be able to be like any another normal person the brain just doesnt stop thinking..
Let me tell you what happened just yesterday .. i was over at my moms place.. we had a family invited over for dinner.. and the favourite topic that pop up for the conversation was.. " Which serial do you watch " " do you like this show.. " and I was like. : i dont watch TV.. i dont follow any serials.. and almost everyone (including my parents ) gave me a surprised look.. as if i am coming from a place where peopledont know how to live life. Isnt that wierd .. i keep nagging my mom that how can you be watching so much of TV all the time and she keeps saying to me that how you just not watch any TV at all :)
Well i guess this is living in different worlds with different roles and phases of life.. but as of now i guess everyone seems to be pretty cozy and comfortable in there own sweet world.. of whatever they are doing.. :)
I guess enough of my blabbering into nothingness ... i dont even know if this blog made any sense at all.. I have something else on mind to pen down but i shall do that some other time.. ( read when i have more organised thoughts.. as of now only the subjects lingering in my mind) so keep checking out this space for some more read.. i promise it will be more organised ..but i guess random thoughts almost make life real at times : )

Python had engulfed me ..seriously

Just before you start wondering that in which wonderful land of swamp did i end up into .. and got to be face to face to a PYTHON so to say ... well not true but almost there..
I had to work on an assignment in python .. ( its a programming language which is used by the scientific world and google and lot many players in the market) and it actually engulfed me.. I mean just imagine you have to learn this new thing called python.. and then at the same time even deliver a good output to your customer and learn protein crystallography ( mind you this was absolute greek to me ..) in just a span of 2 months.. I had an absolute rollercoaster ride,
I use to be reading stupendous amount of things yes things .. coz anything that could explain python to me was my bet.. and then just finish a tiny winy part of my daily target ..
Not to mention the crazy late hrs, the excitment/ adventure of getting home at wierd hrs and then facing the stare on families face. I am sure V almost hated my work by then coz I dont even know the count when I asked him in the middle of the night to pick me up .. and then I was so charged up to talk about all that i learned and have done.. and everyone( read V here) was so tired and sleepy and just use to shut there ears, I guess to so much of greek at that hr of the night..poor things.. :) thanks for hanging in there for me

Hush its all almost over and I am through... not yet but almost by now i can claim to be a decent python programmer, I reinstilled the fact to myself that I am a fast .. way fast learning..that i thought (which kind of gives me a high ;) ) and after a super hectic and tiring day when you are learning something new different and actually getting close to your target , how you crave for a few more hrs in the day.. some more extra time without taking the guilt of ignoring home, family and the loved ones.. infact even yourself.. ( i had been sooo careless about myself.. that if i look back now. I cant even imagine how did I pull it all off ) Folks this is the beauty of WORK and what makes you enjoy life..
In past 2 (almost 3) months I have learned sooo much about python.. that it no more engulfs me but i have learned the art of making it dance for me now ;) ( if i can dare to say soo.. when there is a loong way to go to expertise it , consider this as a self assuring pat.) and so much more about protein crystallography .. which is an awesome line.. ( some how life science has always attracted me and using technology to read and understand it better was always my piece of cake ) that i feel content all the efforts are worth it..

I loved the embarass of the python and I am soo glad that this opportunity was give to me..( I hope I have done enough justice to it though ) you know how the alchemist says that when you want something badly the whole universe works towards it... i guess i needed something new different exciting, challenging to reassure myself that the fire is still on and I can do so much more. .. these little steps of success help you know that you are ... alive and fighting, doing something new different, beautiful ( i know how can programs be beautiful.. well its the whole target that you acheieve of it.. i guess) and satisfying....

Sorry for the delay and not blogging for soo long.. but then now you know why .. i have all plans of finsihing a white paper on this python task that we did, sooo .. lets see if I am lucky enough to do it and get it approved and published.. really found many new ways to deal with things which i wish to share with the world who would be keen in knowing.. the python grip so to say :)

Chao on this note.. hoping to give you all a link to the paper sooon.. ( read me being too ambitious ..for god sake I am sure there are people who have spent yrs in working with it...but i choice to beleieve that i still can pen down what different we did and how and hope that someone someday derives some knowledge of it ;) just like i did from thousands of white papers and books and articles on python and protein crystallization..so a big thank you to all of you who have contributed so much of knowledge, it got me through so kuddos to you all and a heartffelt sincere thank you :) )

Busy or lazy life ?

Busy or lazy life....

its been so long since i have actually written something that i had almost forgotten that i had a blog page ... :) ( strange hu)

Well so .. here it is, what was i doing all this while.. lets tag it being "Busy" than being "lazy" ( just being nice to myself)
I came back from my work assignment sometime around July 1st week and then i took a few weeks to seep back into the normal mode of work and life ....
Then there was August..( and I wonder what was I doing in August all of a sudden it seems to be so long ago :) )

I guess August just slipped into September and then following November.. i was just doing nothing that i can REALLLY pen down rather than work, home, cleaning, cooking, watching movies (once in awhile), trying to catch up on friends which is a failed effort and there is so much pending on that front :) ... so all in all there was nothing that i did.. but I definately wanted something nice and worthwhile to look back at ....one nice thing that I did do worth mentioning was visited numbai around the end of the year, relaxed, unwinded saw a few selective places that i wanted to .. and just enjoyed my 3-4 days of vacation ... and I am soo glad that I did it :)

O yes and one more.. ( see its all coming back to me) on my way to work in a rickshaw ..yes thats how i get to work these days and it does take care of a lot of driving stress off me.. unfortunately not the pollution.. coming back to the point.. on my way to work .. I just managed to finish a book called "The Tao of personal Leadership" it is a wonderful book, a definate must read for everyone who wants to know about how to make a good leader of yourself in all aspects of life...

Well I have all plans to design a better year and something that can keep me busy .. lets see how things shape up ..
I will try and be more regular.. if nothing i will atleast update which movies did i catch up on :)
(thats one thing i surely do .. )
