            ///and with friends in ---, I will overwinter in --- for four months, camping and cycling.

            ///    Study for a physics major degree; 
            ///    Speak Spanish and German fluently; 
            ///    Write and publish a travelogue, short stories and cookbook;

Lessons Learned : Job #1

Life is an ever growing lesson , and If you haven't made Mistake , You haven't Lived to learn !

From Student to Engineer , Engineer to Professional . . . I have not been a keen learner , but I do have some Gems from various people, Places, Books etc.

I am glad to have learned a bit, and thankful to all those who inadvertently or intentionally , taught me Few things :

• Work for Your Project, work more for yourself, You'll learn more, You'll be More Productive.
• Be Active apart from Work, It'll relax you, It Would not be a definite edge in terms of Rating/appraisals but lack of it would certainly be a negative point. Moreover .. Who doesn't want some Fun in life.
• Don't Live in your past, You were once Blades of Glory, Present might be some other Chuck and Lorry ;)
• Learn to know and categorize People , but Don't be Judgmental
• Do Not Expect ! Expectations are the source of all remorse, all pity, all the negativity. You worked your asses off on something, Coz U Liked it , No one Can ever Push you into doing something. Live in that happiness, Any Reward that comes your way, Is a Bonus.
• Be Reasonable , and Be Logical, Impulsive reactions are seldom good but mostly worse
• Control Anger, Frustration , Roam around Don't spread it. Negativity breeds only More Negativity.
• NEVER EVER Mail or Publicly address any hot shot's Mistakes (or what you consider as a mistake) , you'll only get screwed and  screwed harder. 
• Be Politically correct , not just for the sake of it , but coz Many a times you'd realize person/place is not that bad after all.
• Be Resourceful , More Importantly , be Rich in Data , the More You work , the More you can show, and the more you can show, the More It'll let You Grow.
• Be Receptive : Not all talk is Crap, Sometimes you'll miss out on Golden words , simply because you loathed a person's attitude, demeanor or style.
• Be Accepting and Learn from your shortcomings , pitfalls, mistakes.
• It's never too late to apologize, If you feel you were wrong during any incident of time, just say so. It might not affect the end person, but It'll surely make you a better being. 
• Friends and Family : Don't Lose them ! , they'll be the Only support in Good times or Bad, you might feel grumpy , you might feel dejected , you might wanna scream , but Whenever you realize the part you've been wrong ... Just say a Hello , and Life'll again be all Mellow.
• Keep the Passion Alive !

That's All for now , hoping to make new Mistakes , New remorse , New Brickbats, New Lessons ;)

Amen

Website Performance and Google Chrome

I just came home from a intriguing session on basic Jquery, and was raring to see what all is in stock for me.
A few websites down the line , I realized the plethora of tasks that have been and could be done using sheer old JavaScript, let alone Jquery.

Any ways, as an intrigued mind of an IT Engg. Who has lost touch with technology for ages, the first thing that popped up into mind was : "Dude ! Where is the code ;) ". So the Saga began ....

There used to be a nifty tool called IEDeveloper toolbar, sure it'll gimme something ... Actually - NONE.
O k ...
k lets try that Fiddler and other tools. Well .. many things but not CODE. ;)


Ok ... so what .. Lets learn it .. JQuery.com .... few pages down the line .. a big yawn.
So I start again , at the stuff , I am good at .. search ;)


Wollah , chrome has a developer tools, this must be fun , and sure it was .. not only I got the gist , but wow it even suggests what is absolutely rubbish with a perfectly good looking (but slow) site.

Check it out guys ....
Image below is more than self explanatory. The rest is pure dig deep down under.

Relations in the "e" ("i") Age

We Are living in the Communication age , the Age where everything starts of with an "e" (Apple Like to fancy it with an "i").

We eMail, Read ePaper, We Stay online , Work Online , but stay Apart.

The age of Communication, has provided us with all the means to communicate , but has taken from us the urge.

The urge to write a mail (letter), The urge to talk back home, The urge to Listen to your sweetheart's Voice, The Urge and passion to have your photographs developed and printed, The Urge to get together with old pals from college/school or the Urge to be present at the Family get together .

The boon has slowly seeped us deep inside, making space for itself by dumping out odd emotions, unrelated conclusions, savoring times, Odd memories...

The Age has taken a toll on us, We Don't know emotions, we can't interpret reactions, And Most times We fail to understand our own very self.

You have a 1000 friends Online, but rarely a real one beside you. You have a tons of mails in your inbox , but rarely any that Counts !

You enter a gathering , Looking for people with same passion , and end up talking google, yahoo, MSN , Some new Streaming site, Torrents , Links to the posts you did, or to comments by an odd person.

You find a Friend, a real one , but you fumble on ways to interact, to react to his deeds, to help him when he needs , to catch the signs when he wants you.

Worst , You interact with a Cross gender, You share same passion , You love the company , Its been ages you talked to a girl , You share emotions , and then your mind goes overload.

the module to handle emotions was just dumped down by the new package to understand controls on your iPod to control the laptop via Internet.

You simply lost count.

You become restless, Impatient , And @best interpret the "relation" to be of love (yeah you already had 50+ of them ). Even worse - you have a girlfriend , now what do you do.

I'll leave this for you to interpret (if you don't have a Module replacement already ;) )

You talk back home on persistence of your mother's "SMS", but then again , you've nothing to talk, same Old Office , college , food, Sleep, Play, and Obviously you can't talk All the "e" Things to her.

What do you do?

Try and run away. Blubber some crap, Have a Fight , Argue , And Off you go.

Turns out you dn't have a Family now!

Friends , yeah i have friends, they are my age , they talk all the "e" Crap, Lets Talk to friends ..

And Off you go again to "YOUR" kind , talking more crap , replacing more modules , turning more Zombie , burning more midnight oil, and breaking more apart!
