Sweets, Parties & Orkut...

It's 26th Jan, 2009 - Republic day. Had a long weekend but couldn't enjoy it. Saturday & Sunday were okay but got ill on Monday. I don't know what happened all of a sudden I started vomiting early Monday morning and then again went to sleep. Woke up @ afternoon and remained down for rest of the day.

I must admit that I have got addicted to few things:

1. Sweets
2. Parties (where I eat too much)
3. And Orkut and wasting time on social networking websites.

I need to do something about them. They have started affecting my personal life and too an extent my professional life. I need to improve my efficiency.

Speculations are going on that I may be moved to new project. Lets see. I am yet to finish the assignment given by Automation team. BTW I celebrated my birthday on 21st Jan in office then threw a party to old friends. I really screwed up that day.

Watched few movies this week - Zack and Miri Make a Porno, Pride & Glory, Yes Man, Nights into Rodanthone - Ok types - Time Pass

Got to go now - Cya next week....

Done with the Release !!!

On 15th Jan, 2008 I saw first release of a software product as a QA engineer. It was indeed a good experience of more than 2 months working as a QA engineer. I must admit that QA team of this project (KA**) is indeed very techie. They just don't log the bugs they in fact debug the entire issue till they reach the root cause. It's indeed amazing how they go to the extreme extent of database. QA team of my previous project (SC*** / PLAT****) and inf act we as a support team never explored the bugs so deep. Standards set by KA** QA team are so high that it indeed requires great troubleshooting skills to surpass them. Anyways KUDOS to Abhay & entire KA** QA team. I am all geared up for the next release if at all it happens. I will have to pull my skin to make

BTW on Friday (16th Jan, 2008) KA** QA team went for a movie called Chandni Chowk to China and I must say that it has been one of the worst ever movies of my life. It was a crappy shit. The movie has set such a high bench mark that it will be really difficult for any director to make such a bad movie. Also it appears that they are going to make a sequel to it - something to do with Africa. It is difficult to imagine how can a director who made Kal Ho Na Ho can direct such an anal pain movie. I couldn't stand that movie even for a minute. BTW topic of movie reminds me of 3 great movies which I have seen this week - 1. Revolutionary Road, 2. Serendipity & 3. Slumdog Millionaire. The first movie deals with post marriage issues - like unfulfilled ambitions, broken dreams, sex, stolen happiness, money, love, abortion, anger, contraceptives, miss-understanding, infidelity and all the awkward emotions. Tremendous performance given by Leonardo DiCaprio & Kate Winslet. Over all a must watch movie. Coming to 2nd Movie it's about pre-marriage drama and a good light romantic movie. Slum dog millionaire has nothing to do with Marriage. It's a about a teenager who ends up winning million of $s in a reality show. Whats shown in the movie is all the reasons because of which he knew the answers to the questions that were asked to him @ the show. Based on India - a must watch movie for every Indian who want to see the true & sorry side of India.

On Saturday I attended Nidhi's engagement. The food was really good. We all had a blast and cherishing photo session.
