Another new year...but no resolutions again...

2010 has been good even though I had lots of bad experiences, All's Well That Ends Well... December has been so good to me, like the last year. Christmas Bash was celebrated like last year but it was not as joyful as last year, maybe due to lack of Tequila...; bought an Android phone, Met schoolmates after a long time when I went to attend a friends wedding(Arun Kumar's).

Last year I had planned new year resolutions that lasted just for a week. So this year I am not planning any plans... Dont know why plans never work. Anyways, Happy new year to all...May this year bring lots of joy to your life...

All is well !!!!

The concept of "all is well" is very interesting and actually it works. If ever u feel that ur mood is down all u need to think is aaal eeej well....

This is a testimony of the fact that it works... really....

Another secret is that The film found great success is because it could connect to lots of people on this planet. there are billions of people in this world who could relate their lives with the movie 3 Idiots...Also the movie is a mixture of fun emotions drama and all sorts of things mixed up in the right proportions...which makes this movie a hit...Aamir khan, bhai how do you find out such wonderful scripts to work with? I know that u are a perfectionist and that u have been working in this field for a very long time...yet u do works that others cant...I am a fan of yours...

Crazy thoughts

As far as I can remember ... In the first discussion of "decision of my career" happened when I was 3 or 4 yrs old. My aunt(mother's sister) who used to stay at Katni, MP, India told me - "you become a "PILOT""!!!

I said "OK I am going to be a pilot...from what they said ....what I thought was that PILOT was the biggest job!!! They are above (fly over) even the President of USA!!! Hmm... That thought ended then and there...

As far as I can remember ... In the second thought of what I would become - I decided - "I want to become a computer professional" ...This was when I first started using computers; when I was studying in KV1, Naval Base, Kochi. in 5th standard...The computers configuration was - 66Mhz (My phone is more than twice faster ( N73 )), It had 512 RAM!!! 512KB...hehhehe ie. 1/1000th space of the PC that I am typing on! and it had a 5 1/4" floppy disk drive ( I dont know if I am exaggerating )!!! Hey I just searched on google, to make sure that I was not Exaggerating but dood(dude) ...there was an 8" FDD!!! OMG!!! Hmm... I thought what I used the first computer on earth...I forgot that Charles Babbage was the first person to make ( and use ) a computer...Hmm...

As far as I can remember... the third discussion I remember about deciding my career ... - took place when I was studying in 7th. My friend Vikas made a water cooler with tape recorder motor...WOW... I thought... A fan that rotates when u connect 2 wires to a 9v battery??? Yeah I know, Yeah I know! The ceiling fan rotates with much less difficulty...hehehe...but I was so amazed and so jealous of Vikas... He is rich, I thought...He managed to get a motor ( which he might have got free from a tape recorder technician ), He has a 9v battery ( the motor would run even from a exhausted dry cell picked up from garbage... which I saw for the first time in my life in Vikas's hand If i remember right...Then I decided that I would do something in Electronics...When indulging in my hobby...I was damn happy if I get something related to Elex...like a broken radio or dry cell...or green coloured PCBs. I found out that they make the things (components) stick to the PCB using Lead (Solder). I bought Solder wire and dint know how to use it...( I never knew that a thing called soldering iron existed!). I knew that they melt it and use it as a glue to make the things get stuck to the PCB (green coloured). I lit up the candle and melted the solder wire but in vain...I gained some burns and knowledge... sorry enlightenment that there must be some tool to stick the thing to PCB... My father who somehow saw me melting the lead on candle and getting myself burned, bought me a soldering iron...costing Rs. 18 ( if I remember right ). I was so happy...Happiness to the peak. An then started my electronics hobby... - open elex gadgets dis-assemble the components from PCB...(WOW What a great job! - I said to myself!!!).

As far as I can remember...The next thought came when some teacher was asking everybody - "What is ur ambition ?" I had the answer in 2 mins... Computer engineer... I knew that computer guys make lots of money. But dint know that EC guys do the software jobs ... Hmm ... My hobby was elex but I wanted to become computer engineer to make more money ... How greedy I was then... Shame on me...

In 7th standard we had BASIC programming. We used to make addition , subtraction, division and multiplication programs. We had made graphics program also- circle, circle like target board, rectangle, triangle etc. We used to hate it but we had to do that for 3/4th the time so that we cold play "Prince of Persia" on the only colour computer for 10 mins. 7 of us (Saju C Rajan was the leader- He was the best player and his dad had a computer in his office and Saju used to go to his father's office to "learn" computer... Hmm... My only chance was the school bus girl's ( girl with steel kind of a thing to support her legs, I don't remember her name ) father's office. who used to show me how to use the computer...
