Its Rrrrrrrrrraining in Chennaiiiiiiiiiiiii

and WTF am i doing??? sitting in office and digging into the C++ code written by someone else...

there is a wonderful aphorism about digging into someone elses' code from Mr.P.Venkat, a Senior lecturer from the Dept of CSE in VIT. I can now realize the absolute truth in that piece of wisdom. how tersely worded and how appropriate. Venkat sir, I salute theeee......

How wonderful would it be to wear a jerkin and stroll down quiet streets in this weather with the words "Ill be your dreams, Ill be your wishes, Ill be your fantasies...." on ones lips. My heart pines for it. Will I ever get a chance to enjoy such simple pleasures every human is entitled to during his brief sojourn on planet earth. Hopefully sooner than later!!!

My work involves the sustenance of a massively distributed system that manages networks containing millions of nodes. As is the case with all massive applications, bugs are galore and everytime the customer finds a bug, the engineer who is responsible for fixing it will have his arse on fire. I just finished one and am about to take up another one.

Ah, the first rains of this monsoon. It is fantastic... With flowers blooming, fresh air and chill climate, having a stroll with absolutely no shit on your mind... that is bliss. Every nature would love this. Thankfully not all nature lovers are unfortunate like me, having to dig into some shitty code. Hopefully one day, Ill take up a job that would give me time for all this.

the lab was silent with everyone trying hard to appear to be coding to avoid being pulled up by the lab instructor. suddenly one of my friends, wanting to impress him, called him and asked him to debug his program. his program for the conversion of a multi level tree to a binary tree using mutual recursion would not work.
"dei unakku arivu illa. innoruthan codea debug panrathu, innoruthan pondatiya thetharathu mathiri. it is not possible. it is very difficult as you dont know the structure."

partha, i am sure Venkat would have had enough good comparisons to describe the scenario at hand. Such a pity that he had to use a filthy pungent one.
