The month end is here. When it’s month closing, people working in financial institutions/departments go crazy with work. No mental peace for few days. In software industry it’s not like that. We start developing a software with all mental peace, following the very standard procedure ensuring quality. It eats up more than half of the time period promised to the client. Now the countdown starts. The client wants to see some working demos. We manage somehow. To deliver the final product, endless sleepless & pizza nights start. Seems like the project is never going to finish. All the quality standards are set aside, shortcuts are taken & with unknown bugs sleeping…

I always complain about not having enough time & fitness takes a back seat. Back in Kodaikanal, I dared to…

Kodaikanal Diaries : A Photo Walk
This was my first trip to South India. I have mostly visited North India, but had never been to the Southern parts of India. I wanted to visit the beautiful & so popular Ooty, but being popular the place is supposed to be crowded, especially at this time of the year. I chose Kodaikanal instead. Crowd parameter proved me wrong when I reached there. The place is not off beat anymore. The place actually looked like very popular among South Indians. I did not spot many North Indians though.
