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 :) )
