It’s simply wonderful how a combination of sights and sounds can unlock some of the memories hidden deep inside!
It rained today evening. The evening air was cool. As I was bicycling back home from work, Lucky Ali’s Sunoh started playing on my iPod. And all of a sudden, I was imagining an egg-roll and a [...]

At work, I usually have my daily doze of caffeine in the afternoon with the co-workers.
Felt like drinking Cappuccino today instead of the regular Espresso.
However, when I pressed the button, the machine didn’t respond.
Instead, the LCD panel said “Empty Tray”.
We were wondering what was empty!
The coffee beans? No, there were plenty of beans [...]

Okay, henceforth decided to give the opening and closing mood a break!
Anyway, I am currently reading the Linux scheduler load balancing code. And there’s this one function called find_busiest_group() which looks something like this:
[sourcecode language='cpp']/*
* find_busiest_group finds and returns the busiest CPU group within the
* domain. It calculates and returns the [...]

Opening Mood: Lunch time!
Opening Song: None
For the past couple of days, I have been crazy about Ambigram. So much that I haven’t checked my mails nor have thought about some of the outstanding todo items in my list.
It all started with Pradeep telling me about tattoos and what would be a good design for one. [...]

Opening Mood: Fresh!
Opening song: Innocent Man - Billy Joel
Okay, for the past three days, I have been wearing formals to office. Yes, you heard it right, formal shirt (not a smart-comment T-Shirt), a pair of formal trousers (not faded jeans) and formal shoes (not my black puma!).
Before you start reading too much into it, [...]

Opening Mood: Good Morning.
Opening Song: Boondein - Silk Route
The last and final Day of FOSS.in had some really interesting talks.
I missed the talk by Andrew Cowie, since we reached the venue pretty late. However, I managed to catch the next talk by Ulrich Drepper, the person whose article on Memory management I thought was brilliant. [...]

Opening Mood: Sleepy.
Opening Song: Walk of Life - Dire Straits.
I couldn’t attend the morning nor the afternoon session owing to some work at office. However, I managed to catch the OpenMoko talk by Harald Welte. It’s a pretty neat stuff and has got an emulator which is based on qemu which does complete hardware emulation. [...]

Opening Mood: Gloomy weather outside.
Opening Song: Kitni Baatein - Lakshya
Today was one of the “work from home” days since there was some kind of press meet at office. It was to take place on the floor where our offices were, and hence we were told to work from home or work from some [...]

Opening Mood: Good Morning, and I’m still grumpy
Opening Song: None.
I saw him at the coffee house yesterday. It’s been more than a year since we last met. He hasn’t changed a bit. Dressed in a loose T-shirt and a pair of faded jeans, he looked casual as ever. He saw me and the next [...]

Opening Mood: Relaxed.. It’s a weekend.
Opening Song: None. Been listening to music all morning.
I’m back after a sabbatical . A lot of time has elapsed since I last blogged and a lot has happened during that time. For instance,

I went on a Road trip to Western Ghats, just before the monsoons and was amazed [...]
