I spend 70% of my day at the office studying. It’s amazing how much I’ve learned over there. My online system in ASP was just the beginning. Now I’ve started using .NET, and what not. And I’m getting paid for this! Of course, I could do this at home as well, but in the office, … Read more

Sunday was pretty rotten. Was down with a headache, but gone now. I’ve decided to do some Tai Chi every morning before playing my guitar so that I can keep some modicum of flexibility. It’s done me a world of good in the past. Also cleaned out my room. Swept the floor and all. And … Read more

I’m reading Stephen King’s ‘Insomnia’ on my Palmtop. Whew! I never realized how important sleep was, and what a blessing it could be. Can’t take my eyes off the screen. Guess I’m not completely done with modern books yet. The cook is now shelling the eggs, so I get more time saving. Tea also, I … Read more

I’ve developed an online system for the firm I work for. It’s an online reporting system. It sucks up all the marketing activities from the executives, and feeds it into a MySql database in Canada. I’ve developed it in ASP which I learned for the purpose. I’m very proud of it, and look at it … Read more

I’ve found out that with my work, my other life is suffering. My guitar, for instance. I have no wish to lose my skill that I had gained with such hard work. So now, I’ve decided to spend some time everyday in the morning playing my guitar. Starting today. Another thing which has suffered, is … Read more

I can’t help but feel that the teaching of history should be deferred till one is much older. When history is taught in textbooks to schoolchildren, they are taught dates, places, battles, which treaty was signed, and what the outcome was. In other words, they are taught impersonal history from the point of view of … Read more
