2) Wear whatever you want.
3) Speak out wot ever you want.
4) Drink cola/horlics/coffee/tea whenever you want.
5) No one bothers you.
6) Eat lunch whenever you feel hungry
7) Browse net whenever you want (as long as you have net that is)
8) Go to the library whenever you want and spend as much time as you want there
9) Play TT whenever you want.. but give chance to others as well ... provided the table is laid out...
10) Listen to as much music as you want ... on your headphones that is... provided others arn't disturbed
11) Muse about life as much as you want.

The SW life cycle

Now i know wot all the SW engg lifecyle things that i learnt at college really means... i'v been in this proj for the past 4 months and spending 3/4th of that time in discussions and brainstorming sessions and finally coming up with a really good design.. and now all of a sudden the requirements change and we are back to square one (almost)....
It getting really hot out here... the temp has crossed 40 and the humidity factor adding to it... i'd rather spend 18/24 hrs in the confines of this airconditioned office ...
Heres something else i came across in ET... some article about Time Management : The cheese-hole principle... it goes like this... imagine a cheese cube... (i'm talking about the ones they depcit in those tom&jerry movies) .. well if the chesse that fills in all the holes where to be taken separately, then they can be used to make another whole cube... the same way... if u cut down on the amt of time u waste browsing and surfing channels... the time u save can be used to do something more productive in life.. i seriously got to take that into account !
Wot else have i got to talk about..... i guess nothing more.... !

Nice rhyme

Something i came across:

What are little girls made of? Sugar and spice and everything else nice.
What are little boys made of? Frogs and snails and little puppies tails..

sounds really nice doesn't it?

The Gangster's Caucus

That is the title i would like to give when a bunch of s/w engg's who hardly fit the term (exclude me) meet up on a Sat. evening.

The gang: The lean tall one (Peethu), The dark bulky one on the Thunderbird (David), The lean french bearded one (Sara), The dark huge one (Dumma) and The fair thin one with the reading glasses (Settu) and the puny one (me of course)

Rendezvous point 1: Spencer's
Time: supposed to be 16:00 hrs ( which eventually means 16:00 IST + 1:00 Local time)
Agenda: wile away time!
The meeting goes on with full of jokes, teasing and the other stuff.. proceeds till finally after 1hr the security thinks... these must really be a bunch of goons...and decides to shoo
us away!

Rendezvous point 2: Marina Beach
Time: 17:30 hrs
Agenda: The "ooty" plan
Not knowing the way from Spencer's to Marina, i manage to get lost somewhere near Chidambaram stadium ( how the heck do i manage to keep up with folks who zip thro Mt.Rd traffic at 60kmph?.. huh ) finally meet up after doing a roundabout near the lighthouse.. man had they told they were going there, i might as well have taken the Stella route! My second visit to marina ( my last visit around 3 yrs back with my school buddies ) ..

Rendezvous point 3: Satyam cineplex
Time: 19:00 hrs
Agenda : The movie "Hitch"
My second eng movie this yr after "Constantine"... much more funnier.. hilarious infact .. dunno if Will Smith's done comedy before but this one's surely gonna be on the charts for some time..Catchy dialogues... good fun.. if u have a chance to see it .. don't miss the "fumbling with the keys - the signal for the 90-10degree" part! A rib tickler ... i wuld give it 3.5 on a scale of 5!

Dunno how time flew... a saturday worth remebering!
