ok,blogger pal,this blog is gonna b a serious one. so, b prepared... u know,getting into development work has had its share of ups and downs for me. the upside is that after a long,bitter struggle with my project manager, i've finally been assigned development work(though its only bug fixes and enhancements,yet its good work) and that too in c++,a language i love! cudnt have asked for anything better! the downside is that i took the handover from a guy who has had abt 4-5 yrs of cpp experience and the code he's developed is really good! takes a bit of time to grasp and now that i'm alone,sometimes it gets a bit taxing when i have some kind of a clarification or doubt and there's no one around to turn to. anyway, thats also an experience to learn from. so far so good. sometimes, u know, when i get really cranky and get the thing i call "bored sadness", the best tonic is to travel by the ptc(public transport corporation) bus-esp. the one that travels from my place to the library. it teaches me how fortunate i am to have a job and to have a job with a company which provides safe transport facilities for its employees. apart from that is the cool,secure working environment it provides and the decent food. and a lot more that i have to be thankful for. yet, there is always the nagging thot that i'm not even blessed to enjoy the money that i earn. i cant even visit the library leisurely, read a good book or develop a new hobby. am not even able to retain the existing hobbies! the one free day i get is a sunday and all i feel like doing on that day is eat and sleep. homemade food feels like a long-awaited blessing nowadays. lost touch with many friends. at the end of the day, after all the stressful work, i end up thinking,"is it really worth all the trouble?" probably, the past 4 to 5 generations have been brought up with the mentality,"work hard, earn, save for a rainy day" only recently have people started spending more money. the standard of living has improved but the quality of life has degraded. half of those who earn do not get the time to spend it(like me) and the other half do not spend it wisely. we are quickly losing our image as a richly cultured, civilized and decent society. God knows where all this is going to end!
hey,hey,hey,thus spake the old lady! see? i'm not even married and i've already grown old. anyway,whew! thats too serious a blog for a day. bro's engagement next weekend. so, will write later. enjoy! hakuna matata!:)
