Gone 3 times round the earth in last 7 years

I havent clicked anything great, but following is something I always wanted to write.

Amazing June

Here comes June!!!!

June has special significance in my life so far; it was in June, 3 years back that I graduated as a Software engineer (really!!!). And it was same June, 3 years back I joined software industry. So, I will be celebrating 3 years in software industry ….truly calls for a toast!!!!

O yes and it will mark my 7 years of traveling. Since my workplace is around same place as my college was, I have been traveling on same roads since 2000….woaahhhh and it is 2007!!!

Let me check how many hours or rather months I have spent traveling.

College = 4 years                               48 months
Vacations = 2 months/year x 4     -8 months
Misc. = 1 month                                 -1 month
                            ------------------------
College Total                                   39 months

Work = 3 years =                               36 months
Overseas = 7 months                       -7 months
                                            ------------------------
Work Total                                       29 months

Grand total = 39 + 29 =                   68 months

Total working days = 68 x 20 =           1360 days

Total KM traveled = 90 Km/day x 1360 =             122400 KM (3 times the circumference of earth, I need an Ice Tea!!!)

Hours spent traveling = 3 hours 1360 x 3 = 3980 hours Wow!!!...

Lets convert it into days => 3980/24 = 165.5 days

Converting to months => 166/30 = 5.5 months

I am still good at math. HaHa

O o … in last 7 years I have spent 5 and half months traveling. And that doesn't include the long drives overseas such as Virginia to Canada or California to Grand Canyon.

Well, all that is past, coming to present, next week is going to be crucial for me professionally; the result of performance review will be declared in next 2 weeks. And I definitely expect an exalt this time else I will have to take some tough decisions (hope my manager doesn't reads my blog).

43 to 26 in 3 Hours Flat!!!!! Its Raining, man | Are the Gods of rain reading my blog?

Yohoooo!!! Never even in my woldest dream I ever thought that heat will be over soon and that after such a hot blog I will post a rainy blog. But, it happened. It rained, rained, rained and rained and rained and rained, bringing the temperature from 43 to 26 in 3 hours flat. On this sunny day, from nowhere these clouds came and showered on Delhi. No More HeAT!!!


It seams like the Gods of rain has started reading my blog and showed some mercy for those little creatures in my last post.


Of course, how can I stop myself from clicking on this occasion. The small camera in my mobile was not able to capture the tiny droplets but few guys got lucky to get into camera. :)

And here comes my favourite part, SKY, once again impressively dressed in many colors.

The Heat is on



In this part of world, temperature reaches 45C.

ACs, yeah if you have power!! Well, there was a time when I used to beat the heat just by keeping myself busy. Though I have not changed that habbit of mine but things around have changed. We didn't had a AC in our home, now we have one. And I spend more than half of my day in office now, ofcourse, it is air-conditioned but only till 8 PM. Phew!!


It has been 2 years since I got to enjoy the summers, enjoy ? Yes, I enjoy the patience and challenge that is required to beat the heat. It's not easy. And for last 2 years I had spend my summers in U.S. Though I thought I will spend this summer also in U.S. but fortunately I got change to enjoy it here in India. Well, apart from heat, there are so many things that you get in Summer, for example, MANGOES, JAMBUL and many more. My favourite are ofcourse JAMBUL and MANGOES.


I have been hunting with my camera, a picture that can show how hot it is here. I had to turn to my backyard where I shot (with camera) the kittens, few days back.

Here they are again, these little creatures beating the heat by just lying on the floor.


As I finish this post I would like to mention some songs on summer


The Heat is on
