Musings – Abhay S. Kushwaha

Today is an easy day. After a long time… *sigh*

Long hours continue… back to work.

I came to office on November 16, 7:02am. I left for home at 7:12am on November 17. I was back in the office at 9:19 am. Right now it is 2:55am on November 18. I’m still at office. I’ve almost been working non-stop. I was threatened 5 minutes ago of dire consequences by the driver […]

Today is a long day.

Karan messaged me that my headphones have been bought. But he won’t tell me which model out of the choice I’d given him. Oh boy! Am I excited. I haven’t never ever prayed for anybody to get an air-ticket and after he told me he might have to skip flight and come to India only […]

Learn to focus on solutions not on problems – An anecdote.

Pluto (my Boxer) had a small incident today where he went limp, eyes glazed, jaw locked and could not breathe for a few seconds. I’ve now been told by helpful people in a very awesome Boxer community called Boxerworld that he could have Aortic Stenosis. I’m going to get this information to his vet and […]

I miss three numbers: 9 14 21 Don’t think anybody can figure out the meaning of that cryptic message though. :-/

I hate coming back to office in the morning when I’ve left for home early morning. I want to sleep like Pluto. *sigh* Feeling patently tired.

Coming Back To Life – Pink Floyd From The Division Bell (not Dark Side of the Moon as stated earlier — thanks Sergio). Where were you when I was burned and broken While the days slipped by from my window watching Where were you when I was hurt and helpless Because the things you say […]

My neice got the “Student Of The Month” award!

Karan puts it into words what I have been struggling with for a long time. Amen to that.

My friends at UCIL got interviewed and published on Sunday in Hindustan Times. I’ve been associated with them for over 4 years now. My first decent job (and the second in total) was at the cybercafe UCIL’s CEO Anuj and his elder brother Amit had started way back in ’99. We were the first cybercafe […]

I finally caught up with and am now officially current on all my news feeds. RSS rules.

Dancing With Tears In My Eyes – Ultravox Single released 19th May 1984 from the Lament album. Dancing with tears in my eyes, Weeping for the memory of a life gone by. Dancing with tears in my eyes, Living out a memory of a love that died. … 😐

I slept last night. It was fun.

For the first time, I compiled and installed a software directly instead of finding RPMs.

My good friend Gagandeep decided to treat me on his birthday. A dinner and a day later, I had food-poisoning while the ass himself was enjoying another party. There was blood in my vomit. Scared the birds out of my parents too. I’m better and getting better by the minute. If nothing else, it was […]

I have been away a few days. A lot has happened meanwhile: I have shifted to Linux. Karan advised me to use Whitebox Linux. Since my only experience with Linux dates to ’99-’00 when I was managing a 27-node cybercafe with 24 machines running Caldera, and he’s not touched Windows in a *long* time, I […]

I completed 26 years today. Happy birthday to me. Happy birthday to me. *toot* *toot* … *sigh*
