Quote -> “Tuesday has got one advantage, its near to weekend than Monday is.” <- Unquote by Kumar Chetan Sharma.

Out of nowhere, I had this idea of having healthy meal. I had an apple in breakfast.

Around 12:30, I gave up the idea of healthy eating and accompanied  Ankit for his regular Vegge Burrito lunch along with tasty chips and salsa. Yummy!!!

This was the last working day I had a burrito. I tried hard to keep myself awake. Rice and beans with cheese, how the hell native Indians learned to make cheese and lettuce, I like lettuce. Some how I survived this high carb diet.

Dinner was totally made of Parantha. Yummy!!!

Some one said, if work was fun, I will do it for free. I agree with that “one”, who so ever he or she was.

Monday is a day which must come before a holiday. I some how woke up, very late, around 8AM. Got ready in super fast mode. And was at work by 9:10AM. I missed my breakfast. By 12 I was having headache. When it got unbearable I swallowed Ibuprofen capsule. Ankit and I decided to head for the Mexican food joint. This Mexican food joint serves complimentary chips and salsa to all their customers.  The salsa is yummy and chips are wow. In all, chips and salsa were the only reason I visited the place. Another was the good looking cashier over the counter X-). Ankit ordered his usual favorite veggie burrito and I opted for a veggie Taco. Till the time Taco wasn’t served I had so many pictures in my mind.

Picture 1
Taco will be like a smaller version Burrito. Na, c’est na pa possible. That’s French for its not possible.

Picture 2
Taco can be some thing like chips. Must be a variety of chips and salsa.

Picture 3
It will be some thing like a folded roll of usual Mexican stuffing. But then what’s the difference between a Taco and a Burrito?

Picture 4…

…got interrupted with our complementary supply of chips and salsa. And soon I was served a Taco. A Taco is another name for a dish with Roti, Rajma-Chawal,  lettuce and anything else Mexican. The base or Roti is as usal Tortilla, made from wheat or corn. My headache was still on.

By 6PM, Ankit and I decided to buy shoes and soon we were at Great Mall and soon we realised that SF is full of Desis. All kind of Desis. I bought a pair of Puma. Looking at the amount of “Good Stuff” at mall we arrived on a unanimous decision that it was in our interests that we frequently visit this mall, even though am committed.

…which I just dont remember.

Sometimes,  in fact normally, life just passes by. You don’t pay attention to what all happened. Like Yahoo! signed up a deal with Microsoft. My fraternity used to be first one to smell these kind of news or rumors or what so ever. During these 3 days, I experimented and devised a way to keep the smoke alarm quiet and heat Paranthas in pan. WOW!!! What a discovery? I am expecting this year’s Nobel prizes.

Ankit and I (see I have corrected a mistake, its not me and Ankit) decided to “sample” another Desi grocery store and restaurant. The grocery store, better I dont name it, sucked. The owner, incidentally a Punjabi, charged us 5US$ for Amul butter, which in my HONEST opinion was too much. The restaurant scored. We went to Chaat Cafe, appreciate openly and publicly, on Blossom Hill road. The ambiance was good. Food was good. I liked it.

Lately I have realised a very horrifying truth about myself. I am full of hatred. Hate and prejudice. I wasn’t like this. But now I am like a maniac who either wants to murder some one or commit suicide. Geez!!!

What has gone wrong?

Too many things.

To start with

• I suffer from Vitiligo. Vitiligo isn’t some thing that renders a human being motionless or hampers any movement. It does some thing else. It demotivates. Inferiority complex. Impairing your sense and strength of making decisions that may affect your life. Its a genetic defect hence less or no chances of recovery. Why me?
• I didn’t finish my education even when my parents, specially my dad, keep telling me to do so. Sorry dad.
• I opted for a career in most stressing trade in this world. Software development.
• I chose Open Source technologies.
• #################################### (Censored for obvious reasons)
• As it was not all I chose web development. Cross browser compatibility is a pain in ____. (Fill in the blanks yourself.)
• I have to work on code bases that are either or all of following
  • worst, common
  • not documented, very common
  • f##ks all known coding standards, not so common but still I have seen code in production that has database connections being made on every page and in fact twice on same page.
  • Core libs have been hacked w/out any hint leaving you to wonder why the hell prototype doesn’t work same way on this page. Rare but have happened with me. One can extend a library but no it have been hacked. Why?
  • Database is not indexed. Not even a single table.
  • Too much abstraction, you dont understand anything, making you realise that you are an “a” hole.
  • HTML is messed up. One ID for all elements. Who cares for XHTML1.0 compliance.
  • User accessibility is a French or worst a Tamil word.
• Oh, I also fell in Love.

The last one is the main reason for all my hatred.

oops!!!

few days are missing from my blog posts. I did nothing special on Saturday just slept. zzz…  And on Sunday went to a desi restaurant and grocery store. The store was like typical Indian grocery store and the owner did charge us extra for utterly butterly delicious Amul butter. Rest, I had fruits, melons basically in my meals. hmm…
