Me in July 2006

My O my..This is a big gap between the posts....but its not my fault..my desire to stay on the edge of technology made me download FireFox 2.o beta the day it was released..(it was not even on mozilla's main webpage..I had to search for the installation file on tech forums)...then i wrote a long long post and just when i was about to publish it. . ..firefox crashed.... @:..i was so angry..now i have switched back to 1.5.. i dont know why people call firefox stable..

My project is going at snail speed now...with bursts of late office sittings once in a while..I am kinda getting tired of late sittings..so now i usually try to leave office early..thats why no blogging for some time...Today i sat late as i had to call Ireland to talk with my sister... enjoyed some shopping time along with her in ireland markets....

Oh... N E W S .. My brother is getting engaged..this weekend...so I will have to go home.. I might even take a day off from office..

What else..i cleaned my room ..and now it looks better..(cleaner)..i have also bought an ironing table and now my room is more filled with ever with me occusionally hitting one thing or the other on my way ..The following events frustrate me at times..

• While ironing my clothes , the long sleeve of the shirt hits the power cable .. that makes the cable fall out of the socket ..that turns off the TV..now ...It is important to plug the cable carefully so that the hot iron may not fall down on my head while i am bent below the iron table reaching the wall socket.
• Before using my PC i have to drag my chair near the computer table...then while ironing i have to drag it a bit far away (usually to the center of the room ) so that i may get full freedom in moving my arm...then while going out of the room..i have to move the chair from the center to area behind the door so it may not come in the way...but ..then to use my PC againI have to drag the chair again causing it to come in the vicinity of the ironing table again..!!!!!!!.... .The cycle continues........argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...........But wait..............thats not all............ this continuos dragging of the chair effects the floor mat so that ripples are formed on it and then i cant open the room door without first clearing the mat ripples.. argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!....
  
• And now that i have an AC in room ..I have got one more remote control to search for (first it was only the TV's remote) ...so yeah!!..still ..most of the time in my room is spent searching for the remote controls.

FOOD:

I recently added Jalapinos peppers to my collection of sauces and pickles at home..for some time, i am enjoying sandwiches made from frozen food and some good sauces ....and wow!! they taste greaaaaaaaat............ I love eating all the dishes made by the genius cook within me....


Princess:

Princess is ok...I finally shifted it on Gas......It was indeed a rarely sighted scene when i was watching Naruto on my laptop at the mechanic's place in Pindi.....:) ... then a few days ago , i had some trouble with gas again....but when i got gas filled from an other gas station..the car started working fine..i dont know wether its true or not but it seems that different gas stations have different kind of gases... huh!!!.. o-:


Spiritually...

I am kinda lazy on the Spiritual front ..am not regular now..i keep feeling relaxed all the time and thus i fell that i dont need to do any meditation..... This weekend i listened to the Silva CDs that i once got free and found that they are too great for me if i use them... I have too much good spiritual knowledge stuff piled with me now but i dont have enough time to read /hear /view it..


About Friends:

• Noman Yasir Jelani aka NYJ is going to Canada..for a training on Wi-Max.. something great happening to a great guy like him..
• Timmy aka Taimoor had a new haircut on my constant insisting...It was a Razor Cut i.e The hairdresser used a razor instead of scissor to cut his hairs.. Its the newest fashion in the town dattey boyou.. [dattey boyou is japanese of 'you know']..so please get impressed from me for having a friends who has Razor cuts ..
  
• Saleem Gul wrote an article on Net beans..[link].I dont get it what net beans is..even though he explained it to me..(hey!! i am EE guy) ...:).. so please get impressed from me for having friends whose articles appear on big sites...
  
• Jazz has requested me to be courteous enough to go to Jinnah Super , buy some computer games for him (there were some 40 games in the list he sent to me with nearly 30 marked as MUST HAVE) and then be more courteous by sending it to him through TCS..oh! thats not all...he has also asked for some choclates with it...
• Bodz asked me not to do anything for any one ever...This is the corollary of one of the laws of successful life.... "I am happy and I must remain happy" ....This was said a long time ago but i recall it now as i seek guidance in order to analyze JAZZ's highly demanding request ..so i guess...i should not send any DVDs to JAZZ..(even though now i have bought 3) .. I must conform to Bodi 's saying as thats the only commandment that he left for me before leaving for Finland..I cant betray one friend for the other...
  

Naruto

Have seen some 177 episode of Naruto and have started with reading its manga (the comic book ) ..It is as addivtive as the anime (animation)....Uff!!!....Naruto is too kool...oh an btw! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle is coming back too .. the movie will be released in 2007... [link]

What else...hey!! i am keeping a frenchie beard these days... :)

TRIM

Today was a busy day..My new project's work assignments have started to arrive and they do suck a lot of time..

The whole day i kept making foolish mistakes..where the most common one was : not trimming the values to compare.[for non CS people: i was not converting the values to same format before comparing] ..I even wrote it big on a paper "ALWAYS TRIM" and kept it in front of me..even then i kept doing this same mistake again and again..

My previous project was DHL Czech Republic...and i was not happy with my performace in that ..I had vowed to be extra efficient in my new project but...what the hell.. i keep getting stucked in very basic things...kept working till 9:00 pm where as all the other team mates were free by 5 pm.. :(.... I kept cursing my self the whole day for not being able to catch up ...but khair..thats life.. after all i have changed my whole field...so whatever is happening should be an expectation.. I am not a very genius guy and i will have to live with my speed of grasping new ideas.

Oh.. I had a lunch at Marriot today..It was a treat from the project manager of my previous project for our good work on the project. The guy was so happy that he sent money from Czech to sponsor our lunch...Earlier the plan was to go for a dinner but we couldnt get a common free dinner time so it was decided to go for it on Friday's lengthy lunch time.. We had Thai food..I have never had thai food before..but.. i didnt eat anything new in the food.. the only new thing that i noticed was the strange combination of Kahwa (green tea) and choclate that was served after the food...instead of the dessert..

What else..I am blank...completely blank..made a telephone call to my sister a while ago... felt sleepy during the conversation even though she was talking about something that can effect my future...

Kashif Bhatii aka KB is in Nathia Gali right now.. I kept trying calling him the whole day..His number was not reachable.. :(.. will probably meet him on sunday..

Am feeling sleepy... will go home now...am waiting to see how the Sand Ninjas will save the leaf ninjas from the sound ninjas... :) ..Today i got new episodes of Naruto you know... :)

GCC birthday

GCC Birthday

We had GCC birthday on 29th June.. GCC , my office , is short for Global Consulting Center.. Its sort of a branch of NCR which turned one year old on 29th. We went to Hotshots F-9 park to celeberate the birthday where we started with bowling. I have never played bowling before.In the start the game looked weird..and i was really wondering who invented this game and how..?? but later i started enjoying it..My score was the lowest in my team. :(

Then we had Laser Tag. I had been trying to play this game for so long. It was a nice game of 15 minutes in which we , 5 boys , played against our enemies , 8 girls , and lost.. :(... In the game , we hit each other's infra-red-sensor-jackets with laser guns ..it is a great game , i will surely be playing it more...was fun..Seems a sure way of losing weight as one keeps running around in total excitement for 15 minutes..

Then we had food and i ate chicken wings till the vomit limit.. lol. :)

At night i was very happy(hyper) and when i met Noman he commented on my behaviour as "You are acting like little kids who become very hyper after having jhola at a park" :)

About Naruto:

I have watched 99 episodes.. an episode is 20+ minutes ..and many times i re-watch a scene repeatedly...so it means that i have spent 33+ hours on it.. I am still enjoying the story line.. its great ...

About My Spiritual Journey:

On this weekend Timmy aka Taimoor gifted me a book ..Its Zawiya 2 by Ishfaq Ahmed..(oh.i am getting too many book gifts these days) .I also bought a book on telepathy by Khwaja Shams-ud-Din Azeemi. I am now feeling that spiritual development doesnt depend only on learning psychic abilities..It also requires learning of life concepts . I recently understood the importance of Forgiveness..A term very heavily used but rarely understood in its proper meanings..I plan to write a post on the power and meanings of Forgivenessthe way i understand it..The book Zawiya gives a good insight into life..I feel the words of the author going deep down ....deep inside me...It sort of cleanses the soul and empowers it to grow.. A PTA friend , Shehryar, used to say that its not important to learn psychic abilities as they are not the ultimate goal...He is quite right when i think about the ultimate goal.. but i am continuing just because i want to see the world with a different angle..atleast for a while..

I have a lot of books piled up now that i have to read.. I have a lot of audio/video lectures to listen....and there a few softwares that i have to try..and then there is this one software that i want to crack ..i have been looking for its crack since Oct 2005... :(.. i am too desperate that i am even willing to reinstall my windows after every 15 days.(the trial limit is 15 days) .but i hope i will soon find easier ways to make the trial run longer. May i succeed in my (un)holy plans..
