Finally! I got the much longed for time when one can ramble on the net for random people to see. I mean you people. So, lets get on with it.
These days I have been working a lot. By that I don't mean I am working like Abhi, where you just work for the heck of it and are always bitching about it. I am enjoying a lot at work these days. I reach by about 10.30 in the morning. Break for lunch for about 25 minutes. Then work till 7. Play Unreal Tournament till 8. Then leave and come back by 9. For me, those are long hours.
Thing is, I am amidst some really kick ass people with loads of experience and exposure. My team has only 5 people, 3 other developers and a QA. All with at least 6 years experience. I am working with him, him and him, all developers. Some of the more geeky-cool people at work and incidentally in my project. Especially, Hakan is one funny person and is a very and I mean very pragmatic person. I just love all the discussions, technical or otherwise I have with these people. All the vehement talking in TGIF is not to be forgotten. Good for me.
On an other note, one of the things I was thinking about lately was, "Is technology a means to an end or is it an end in itself?" A very philosophical question indeed. And I am sure a lot of people at my work have a ready answer, An end in itself. But some of the more introspective ones may say, "Hmmm, depends." That is exactly the answer I get from a lot of people. They just don't want to commit to a side. Only a few people know why they shouldn't be taking a side. This is indeed something that can potentially lead to a long discussion. Can't wait.
Discussions till now: Why should Earth be Flat, Why Shouldn't Earth be flat(Discussed after about 45 minutes of rigorous drawings of flat earth on our story wall!), Is it sensible to have a fear of Aliens, Education vs. Creativity, Intelligence - Fucked if I know what it meant, Genomes and People are stupid.

1. thank you. this blog was almooost dead...
2. technology is about making things easier for other people. then again, if you look at the whole world, everyone is working hard and sweating it, just to make life easier for other people. no one actually has an easy life.. so i feel it's an end in itself.
Hey Pavan . Y the hell do you want to showcase some one else problem to the whole world .That too of a person whom you claim to be your friend . i know you are cool , your company is cool , your job is great . This really shows what you think of me when i share my problems with you.
i think technology is the means for getting you to your eventual goal.
