The week that was (so far)

August 31, 2007

The past week has been an interesting one for me. I wrote a poem after nearly two years and I now find myself doing something else that I love and haven’t been able to do in a long time. Read. I found ‘Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance’ in the office cupboard. Not sure who it belongs too, but I mentioned it to me boss and borrowed it. I have commenced reading it and it seems to be an engrossing read. The book sees to it that my bedtime is further pushed forward by a couple of hours at least, every night, but I don’t mind. If I didn’t have to go to work tomorow and the day after, I would have curled myself up in bed with the book for company and read it cover to cover, with just the most essential breaks in between! I love reading!

Three new members have joined our team and I now find myself in a learning plus teaching mode!! I need to learn the things that have been assigned to me (currently I’m learning about a middleware for grid computing, called glite (pronounced as jee-lite)) as well as oversee what they are learning, as the other seniors are more than busy with their own work. Too bad, I can’t make it to Mumbai tomorrow to attend the get-together of our batch of FPGDST, at NCST, Kharghar.
