After a period of absence, I am back to the writing board. Lot of things happening and I hope I would take some time to pen them here for future laughs. I am sure most of us have used a pain killer spray. There are a quite a few good brands out there and we usually stock one called “Moov”. We don’t use it very often, but sprays are handier than the ointment tubes....
Apple announced it watch last year. And it decided to ship it from next month, this year. Of course, as a fan boy, it is a fab gadget to own. As an electronics engineer, it is a piece of marvelous engineering and worthy of owning. What follows is not a review, not a rant and definitely not a promotion. This is just an observation. Apple watch is a first in many things for Apple....
I love this post from Seth Godin. http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2015/03/more-trouble-than-its-worth.html You must read it too. And here is my favorite line in that post: Seeking out the things that are more trouble than most people think they’re worth is a powerful place to be. I have been here. Early on in my career, when I was here, it really gained me the quick recognition and earned me the type of tasks I was best suited for....
Someone was asking a friend who his 1yr old resembled. Each of us had an opinion. But there is truly very little you can say at this point in the kid’s journey. For a long time everyone in the house believed I strongly resembled my maternal uncles and my maternal grandma. True that given my hair texture and general attitude. Similarly, for a long time everyone in the house believed that my sister resembled my paternal grandma....
We have a small balcony garden. We are looking to grow more stuff in these gardens in the coming months but we are also experimenting various things like pots, soil, water etc. Some of the easiest types of plants to grow include methi and coriander. These are commonly used in our kitchen so we decided to grow them ourselves to start. This works like a charm. And its beautiful and refreshing to see life coming out of a small pot....
Lantiq got acquired by Intel. It was in the news all over the business world. In some sense, it was the best that could happen. And Intel is the dream company for most people who studied electronics. It had been my dream too when I was just finishing bachelor’s.I am looking forward to working in Intel. I am fairly confident they’ll take me in. If I think about it, 2015 has been a fabulous year....
So we are entering a certain level of uncertainty in our lives this year. Many times the uncertainty are related to my wishes and hopes about my future. About our future. About our dreams for our future. This time it is different. And hopefully we come out stronger when this has passed. Of course, for the first time, we have very little give or take from the outcomes. We have a wish-list for what we expect to happen....
I tried to think about it a lot. Honestly, nothing. Yes, I do worry about terrorism, about women’s safety in India, about general social inequality at times. But I find myself more worried about my career, the stupid choices I have been making etc. Other than this, the only problems that I think about are : those that I believe can help me startup and those that I feel are really bad designs....
2015 indeed started on a great note for me. I managed to get a 1-1 meeting with the Harnhua – Co-Founder at Plunify, a startup specialising in FPGAs and cloud computing based solutions for this space. Well, technically, they aren’t a startup anymore, just a small company. But from my talk with him, I understand that they are pretty much the startup that they set out to be. And probably have all those startup problems 🙂...
quite sad. The tone is irritating and the themes are annoying. I guess they are trying to impress the hyper-social kids. And I hope this is working for them. But you definitely lost some of the 30+ year olds already.
