Huttu habbada shubashayagalu, Amma

Today, Feb-19, Is my Mom's Birthday!!
A very Happy Birthday to you Amma.

When I look back, I find myself wondering, "How did she tolerate me?"
Yes, I was one of the naughtiest of the kids, and sometimes downright difficult to deal with! But, she guided me all along, making me take the right steps, for what??Nothing, Infact she had to work more, cook, make me study, run the family. The only possible explanation, me thinks, is her love for the family, for us, for me.

She cares for us no matter what. This kind of unconditional love is what makes her so special to me.


Sometimes, when things weren't going right, when I desperately needed somebody to talk to. She was always there for me. I could talk to her about all of life’s little problems, anything, and somehow she could make it all go away.
Happy birthday MOM!!

*Sniff*
That's it, Let me go and cry in the bathroom now.

Only way...

Back...
After a long hiatus!!
I've been real "busy" these days.
Yes, I work for Infosys AND I was busy.

Well, firstly, I would like to congratulate Mr. Kumaraswamy, Grandson of the soil.
I hope he does something good to improve Bangalore's floundering infrastructure.
Hope.
And the news is everybody's falling sick.
Jay here was down with typhoid, Sushil, Praveen all fell for "salmonella typhi".
When I mentioned this to my friend he replied, "Wish, I had fallen sick"!!,
WTF? You ask?? That’s exactly what I said!!
Looking at my confused expression, He told me the reason...
"See maga, I am in maintenance project* and I desperately want to get out of it and this is the only way. Call up sick, take leave for a month and when you come back you are on Bench** !!"
Fair enough!!
*A Maintenance project in software terms vaguely resembles (means?) a govt. job.
**Bench = Heaven

Anyway, Hope all the people who I mentioned above are doing fine now.
Offences, if any, should not be taken!!
Well, as I am typing this out, I am waiting for my code to compile/execute.
Yes, I am working on a Saturday too.
(Thank you for all your sympathies.)
Apparently, the managers thought that they could increase the revenue by asking us "Code writers" to work on a weekend.
Whatever PMs...

Error on line 143:
(SQR 3702) Command not allowed in this section: end-select
End-Select

Errors were found in the program file.
SQR: Program Aborting.

Well, I gotta debug this...
More later...


Edit -
