Simple weekend

Life is like that

With sister in the US and BIL in Chennai, parents are here with me and it is a blessing. I don’t know how to express but to take care of parents who have suffered much to take care of us, is a blessing. I massaged ma’s legs and conversed with dad.

I didn’t go out this two days at all. Got a blackberry from office and I was playing with it most of the time. Wrote a draft on the words that changed my life. I don’t feel a depth in the article and will re-write it. Planning to publish this week.

Problems with my new computer

Timepass

Letter is from Banta Singh of Punjab to Mr. Bill Gates of Microsoft
Subject: Problems with my new computer

Dear Mr. Bill Gates,

We have bought a computer for our home and we have found some
problems, which I want to bring to your notice.

1. There is a button ‘start’ but there is no ‘stop’ button. We request you to check this.

2. We find there is ‘Run’ in the menu. One of my friends clicked ‘run’ he ran up to Amritsar ! So, we request you to change that to ‘sit’, so that we can click that by sitting.

3. One doubt is whether any ‘re-scooter’ is available in system? I find only ‘re-cycle’, but I own a scooter at my home.

4. There is ‘Find’ button but it is not working properly. My wife lost the door key and we tried a lot trace the key with this ‘ find’ button, but was unable to trace. Please rectify this problem.

5. My child learnt ‘Microsoft word’ now he wants to learn ‘Microsoft sentence’, so when you will provide that?

6. I brought computer, CPU, mouse and keyboard, but there is only one icon which shows ‘MY Computer’: when you will provide the remaining items?

7. It is surprising that windows says ‘MY Pictures’ but there is not even a single photo of mine. So when will you keep my photo in that.

8. There is ‘MICROSOFT OFFICE’ what about ‘MICROSOFT HOME’ since I use the PC at home only..

9. You provided ‘My Recent Documents’. When you will provide ‘My Past Documents’?

10. You provide ‘My Network Places’. For God shake please do not provide ‘My Secret Places’. I do not want to let my wife know where I go after my office hours.

Regards,

Banta

Last one from me to Mr Bill Gates :

Home sweet home Alabama

General

Just watched this movie in Zee Studio TV. A good movie about connecting with one’s past and old. As I watched the movie I wanted to go back to Belgium and catch up with so many folks – drive to Dendermonde and have Bicky Burger; take a night walk with Steven & Sandra;Walk to Tervuren and have an interesting discussion with Xavier; go to Venkat’s house and have a delicious lunch; oh…so much.

Another aspect I miss is the drive that I could take through rural areas. I miss that greeneries a lot.

Hope one day I get to see my old friends.

Why no update?

Life is like that, Nothing official about it

There has not been update on this page for long. No, I didn’t drop dead (as proven by this entry!)

My days are pretty much occupied with issues in one the project that I’ve taken over now. The project is in such a bad shape that if it is not fixed soon enough my boss’ job (head of IS dept) may be under fire! Added to it, the PM of the project resigned quoting personal reasons and doesn’t care a dime to fix these issues. So it has come to me to clean-up. Extremely unpleasant situation and a tough situation to handle.

In order not to go insane, I keep writing few articles and then do some programming. I do some swimming as well. But not able to keep schedules as the wacky nature of the project throws of the schedules.

Other than that, hmmm… life is going on.
