I have experienced this before. Right now the frequency has definitely reduced. But still there is surely such a phenomenon.
The phenomenon is like this:
I eat something. I really relish hogging. I am full and content. Then the craving starts.
I really die to get that bitter-sweet-hot cup of coffee.
It happened today. I had my first biryanee (of the veg kind) in Hyderabad. And now I am just sitting back at my desk with feet up on the table and a warm cup of milk coffee with extra sugar. If bliss is something else, then I am not dying to know what it really is.
This is just one off instance that somebody else cooks the food and I like it this much. Otherwise the coffee honor is reserved just for wifey's cooking ;)
It had been a daily ritual that she fills my lunch-box to the brim and I obediently finish all of it.
And then enjoy the unavoidable urge for a cup of very sweet coffee, fight it for sometime and then give in.
It gives more pleasure that way ;)
Can life be happier ??!!!

I thought therefore I wasn't
Just back from attending a very close friends wedding.
Seems like the last straw drawn and the wonderful days
are just a distant history.
Things change and when they change they make sure the change is drastic.
Life has changed so much that the old me is totally bewildered.
Sometimes I feel I will wake up from a dream, but then I think I will be more
flabgergasted outside of this dream rather than inside of it ;)
The fun of being everywhere and belonging nowhere ...
and it's just started ;)

No cooler things ... !!
I run around from the morning to different desks to get info. Everybody remote-logs into my machine and then shows me things that were supposed to work but are not.
Sirs, I am at your doorsteps because that; i.e. that those things are not working ; is the specific problem. They seem to understand this after some efforts. There seems to be a very interesting saying posted on may of the cubicles:
"Problems can not be solved by the same level of understanding that creates them."
Very interesting indeed!! Everybody points their problem-solving radars to lower and lower modules. So I run down the hierarchy of the executable - dll - launcher - subsystem - and none the least the OS.
During all the time the OS crashes left and right, is dreadfully slow and throws all the tantrums similar to a new bride whose husband comes home late from work un-informed. (And do not even get me started on this one ;)) . I managed to see BSOD multiple times, screw up a hard disk, shifted CPUs below the desk from the top of it and down again. In the process learnt most of the command line. I can manage now most of the stuff on command line, this is the only silver lining I can see to an otherwise dark and omnious cloud.
Lo and behold : After struggling for fifteen calender days, I finally was introduced to the fact that I was using the wrong OS version. So I put my head down, install the real culprit.
10:50 Installation starts
11:15 My mentor gives me an ultimatum. Mentor (For the uninitiates) is
the guy who is never there when you need him but can not keep away when you really do not need him. ;)
11:20 Hard disk makes dying noises. Trrrr ...trrrgh ... whoooshhhh ...
11:30 Hard disk is really struggling for life
13:30 After numerous(3/4) reboots installation is complete.
13:35 I start up the ladder of OS – Subsystem – interface – applications.
16:00 Everything works as a song.
18:00 I am on a roll ..
Hmmmm ….
After around 2 months, I am back doing what I am best at: JUGAAD : and definitely
enjoying doing it …
