Grrrr

This is the first weekend when i didnt plan anything to do. Had in mind that i will go to Bournemouth as it is quite close by...RAINS!!!!!!!!
Raining almost everywhere i can go and come back in one day!!!!!!!!! :((

:-)

Was quite a memorable day.

Segmentation fault fixed
Determinants evaluated.
Final internship code up and running.
Comparison of results and checking and rechecking next.

Looking ahead at a good weekend.
Mostly should be able to go to Bournemouth this Sunday. (Rain rain go away!)

Planning to catch up on some sleep and see 2-3 movies too in the weekend if Bournemouth gets cancelled.

Happy in general at the outcome of the day! :)

I Want a CAR!!!

Night 10 o clock. Got down from the bus near McD and happily went towards it. Was disappointed to see the timings

Eat in: Till 9 PM

A little consolation though was that the drive thru timings were till 11 PM

Went to the place where people order when they are in car.

Me: Hi!
Lady inside: Hello, how can i help you?
Me: I will like to have 1 Deli of the Day and 1 Medium Fries.
Lady: Just a minute sir.

After this she went inside and i could see that she was talking to the head of the restaurant. The fat old lady shook her head and the lady was back

Lady: Im Sorry sir we dont serve if you are not in a car.
Me: What???? Am i not paying for the food???? Whats the problem????
Lady: Sorry sir.

Im Hating it! :P

Lessons from UK...

Have been wanting to write about what staying abroad for the first time has taught me and how it has affected me. Attempting to write all i can think of.

1. Never roam around with a camera in your hand near Heathrow Airport.
2. Always see weather updates on net before leaving from home ( i mean home = India here)...Was stuck up in cold windy and rainy Southampton as soon as i arrived here. NO UMBRELLA!!!
3. Believe people when they say jetlag is possible. Well i dont believe still, but i slept 12 hours after checking in.
4. Puran Poli is Puran Poli and i love Puran Poli.
5. Believe in your instincts when you are preparing food. Whatever amount of salt, chilli powder etc you take in your hand/spoon in your first attempt is THE right amount.
6. Do not believe people who claim they can cook.
7. Wake up early, ATLEAST, on the first day at work! :-(
8. Do not trust Indians when they tell you you can call from a public telephone.
9. Do not trust Indians again when they are all sweet talking to you, that is THE costliest shop in the area! :-(
10. Respect other nationals as they have tremendous respect for you, especially the Europeans.
11. Thank You, Cheers, Sorry and a Smile make even the grumpy ones melt down.
12. Do not offer help unless the other person is willing to take it, you will end up being a fool.
13. Do not trust your eyes when it comes to bus time tables. Always verify them from someone or by walking 10 steps more to the bus stop. :-(
14. Do not trust UK weather.
15. Rules are rules and this its a simple rule to remember this line. RULE.
16. Meeting your old friends in a foreign country is extremely delightful. The time you spend with them can never be counted in terms of hours or money too.
17. Carry an air pillow on journey.
18. Do not forget your comb in India (I think in our car!!! :-( )
19. Its cold out here, eggs are GOD to eat in such conditions. But DO NOT eat ONLY eggs!
20. Steel utensils are dangerous.
21. Knives and bottle openers are dangerous too.
22. Always put less if you are trying out a new brand of chilli powder :-(
23. Verify that the utensil is not TOO hot BEFORE putting oil. Else you will know the results within 3 seconds.
24. You always have time for friends at the end of the day, however tired you are.
25. Listen to parents.
26. Cross the road by looking in both directions 2 times.
27. Do not trust pushbacks in a coach. Always verify yours if its fine BEFORE others get occupied.
28. Road to true happiness passes through London.
29. Matkichi usal ROCKS!!!
30. Do not write blog posts sitting in the office during lunch time :P

Thats it for now...

Do this do that :-(

Need for linux, Cpp, pooma, cons, format, repartition, give up, give up for 2 days!
Waiting for a bright Monday!

Inspiration

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumphs of high achievement; and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither defeat nor victory." - Theodore Roosevelt
