"It was a hectic week" is an understatement. Put lotsa fight to hit the deadline and made it finally..actually..kinda made it. ( Want to find out if there is any programmer who misses his deadline .. or for that matter.. any programmer who does not work much harder when deadline is just around the corner ). Had been spending the week with my comps, AR Rahman songs , my favourite bean bag and not so favourite code. It was such a relief to sleep in my home bed after one long week. Sleep is bliss !
Well.. one thing that I definitely learnt out of this exercise is software engineering is not bull-shit. Design ( and do a thorough job in this phase ), before starting to code. It would reduce coding time very drastically. Esp. when working on a huge code base on a core issue, there is no escape from spending whole lot of time investigating and designing, lest you want to end up spending a horrible time around your deadline.
Amidst the hectic period was a nice weekend well spent at Bandipur. It's a wildlife sanctuary and went there hoping to see lots of wild animals, esp. elephants. Well, all I got to see were 3 tamed elephants. Nevertheless, the two day stay theret was fun and nice distraction from the dull city life( or should I say cubicle life ).
