Blackie having leg troubles

Work going on steadily.
Some bad news from home that Blackie is walking on 3 legs now. Some limp on her hind leg. And not able to keep it afoot on the floor. But when dad took her to the hospital, she was running around fine!

Reminds me of the 3 legged dogs I saw at the bark park. God. Please don't let anything like that happen to her!

Relaxing slightly

Go-live weekend. Lots of pressure, but managing and relaxing at the same time.

BSP Component Workbench Through the Web UI

I just happened to notice the Component Workbench link in the standard sales professional role. And it is a direct means to go to the UI component views and perform quick changes without even accessing the back-end (T code : BSP_WD_CMPWB). Though not to the extent of putting in our own enhancements, this is a really cool tool to add/change views, new layouts, fields etc. All in the form of intuitive user-guided steps.

A chat with a manager & DJ SAP

Last week was ok. I'm learning to grab the chance to rest whenever possible. Seems like weekends are more filled with work than weekdays.

On Friday (Jan 20 2012), a small chat happened with my manager - Saurabh Kumar.  He is a cool, relaxed dude. And enjoys life to the max.

When he saw my daily expense & hours tracking, the talk started as to why I'm so planned in life and why I'm saving money like this. I dont smoke, I dont drink, I'm not into any 'other' activities and I say I dont plan to marry. Then why? 

Words & phrases kept flowing. And I was surprised when he told me what I kept saying myself in mind - my life doesnt have any surprises because its too planned for its own good. Hence there is no fun in life. When God compares me with any other guy, He won't even bother to glance at my side. Because He knows it is pretty useless. But to a guy who is unplanned, He would make it more interesting. 

It was a good chat. And he did speak the truth. I do kinda over-think everything so as to remain alert & out of surprises.

Saturday Jan 21 2012

Made chana masala for the first time. It came out really well. 

Most of the day in the car. The Ford Edge's fully folding passenger seat is awesome. Perfect table to be used. Seriously it has become an SAP utility vehicle. Park it near the apartment and I get my wifi in it. Resource utilization at its maximum. I dont have to complain about back pain sitting on the floor in the apartment.

Reading and coding. And enjoying the music. Got a shock when I was really enjoying some mix, then glanced at the Edge's LCD screen to see which track it was and lo! It was by DJ SAP. Of all the names - DJ SAP!!! 

But the desi mix was really good.

At night spoke to JFx, Varun and Bachi. The gang was playing pool! & I got some good news to hear from Varun too. Nice catching up with people after long breaks.

Coming weeks are going to be really interesting. God! Do help me stay on course. :) 

A 3D dream

Red ford edge.

Ajay Shankar, Ratnakar , me and someone else too.

We were watching on a big screen something live happening to the ford edge. Then saw it getting crashed. It was like watching future events live.

Big crash. Followed by another crash.

Then someone helped me with all the formalities for the crash. 

Weird. Very weird.

Ultra hectic!

Jan 9 to Jan 13

A ghost protocol has been running in the system for a few days now. Eating away everyone's time. And still not able to find out the reason. And I'm losing time for doing other work too.

Jan 14 

Went to the bark park in the morning. Saw another 3 legged dog. But this one was getting tired too often that it couldnt stand for more than a few minutes and had great difficulty running. Always struggled to keep up with its owner and sat whenever it could. There was a difference in the way its leg was amputated. It had most of its thigh left. I think that was the problem. Maybe without the thigh part, it would've been easier for it to move around. That was how the other dog that I saw was running beautifully on 3 legs. God bless them all!

Stopped for a few minutes to think how kind life has been to me so far. Thank You God!

102 Out...

Dad called up early in the evening. My grandfather had passed away. Peacefully while asleep.
