Gruesome Violence

Last night I heard about one of the most inhuman and gruesome case of violence done to a 3 year old girl in NZ. I am still wondering whether they were the girl's parents and if they were then how could they be so beastly and barbaric. Did they not even think once before churning her into a laundry dryer or hitting her hard on her forehead? Did the thought of hell not cross their minds once before letting her die with blood pouring out from her mouth? What did they want from the little girl.

Well on my side...I have two midterms coming up next week. I was busy finishing the IDL calculator in CSP this weekend. I have been studying Networks too.

This weekend was fun...bachelor's party for Diwaker, Steve and Shreyas, Shradha and Ramesh's house warming party and movie. On the whole a good and satisfying weekend.

This week I should be done with most of my studies (hopefully) so that we can enjoy the weekend too. This Sunday is Priyendra's bday. I do not think we have much plans for it yet. Let us see how it turns out to be this year. Last year was a lot of fun though.

I am so used to this schedule of mine that I cannot think what my life would be after studies. It would be so plain and bland..haha...feels like I have been studying since eternity.

Just spoke to Neha Rastogi and she shares my opinion. I wish I could share my chat with her, with all of you but.....anyways..I think I better get back to work.

Bye!

Surprise gift on the 11th day..

Shutterfly zindabad!!!!

Asim helped me keep the gift in Google for him. He was thrilled to receive the gift.

There was a screensaver saying "11 days to go" too :)

I wish I had captured his reaction in my camera that day!!!!

Armaan growing up...

It is surprising to watch Armaan grow up. He has been looking different to us daily. His expressions and looks are so different in every picture that I see.

He looks so much like Ishaan now. Mummy tells me he smiles and tries to talk as well.

Both my little ones are in India right now. Hope they enjoy!

God Bless!!

A happy and satisfying weekend

I had a nice weekend after an insane and batty week. Friday was mostly with friends watching cricket at Priyanka's place. Saturday was great fun when all three of us went out shopping.

Today we mostly relaxed.

Now I am having a migraine ache and so just chilling again. Was reading a lot of stuff right now.

One phrase that I came across was "baby boomer" I did not know till some time back what it meant. It is a phrase used to describe people born post World war II. You could read the wiki  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_boomer

Last night I also watched a video on Ted. This was about a parrot who has a vocabulary of about 200 words and can speak many things. It was christened Einstein :)

Einstein is an african grey parrot and can impersonate a spaceship and a monkey. Cool na!!!

I think I should sign off before my ache reaches limits!!!!

A Crazy week!

It has been hard to find and squeeze out time to even sit and sip a cup of coffee for 10 minutes.

Loads of Assignments and Li's Architecture Exam. I am trying to be efficient at work and in my studies. Trying doubly hard to manage time and devote good share to all subjects and also balance my personal and social life. Diwaker is here with us. He is here for his interviews. Priyendra and I hope for the best for him and wish that he gets placed here in the bay area itself....another enthusiastic memeber of the stanfordyaars family. Also yesterday we went to Sharadha's place for her surprise bday party organized by Ramesh. It was a good break for me and Priyendra. After a long time we got to be together and talk during our way up to SFO and down to Mtn. View. We have been hardly getting time to talk as I am so busy with work and studies. This weekend we plan to do some good family activity...may be go for a hike..and a small shopping session :)

I feel I am lagging in the other courses like CSP and Networks due to the Architecture load. Hope to get some work done in CSP and Networks by next week.

On the work front, I am busy with Cyprus testing. Have to prepare my test plan for app Template testing. I have again started automating the test cases. Hope to see more work done in 9.0 features. 

I am also getting trained to do WanScaler builds. Hopefully everything goes well.
