Tears of Joy !!!

This is day before yesterdays news !!!!

I could see a prospective fathers tension, live today... So much excited, so tensed. I'm taking about my collegue JP (pappan) who is sitting just beside my desk. His wife's delivery date was planned for Nov. 10. But few hours ago he got the news that she is taken into delivery room and its going to be sicerian. From that time onwards I could see him absent minded totaly. We both went for lunch now. At the mallu mess he was trying hard to eat and speak something which he couldn't. Felt as if he has lost his senses. He was holding the mobile in his hand near to his ears, waiting for it to ring once and hear the glad news. He had not wait for so long. Just after finishing the lunch, the mobile beeped... Yup IT'S A BABY GIRL... Tears started flowing out of his eyes due to over joy. We all felt so happy to hear the news and by seeing JP's relief. JP has become a proud father of a baby girl.

Congrats JP !!!

Coming back to life !!!

I'm lovin it !!! :-) haa haaaa heee heeee heee heee....

Yet again am successful in setting up something in linux... It gives me atmost pleasure when am on linux. My professional career started with linux n Unix.. Last 8 1/2 yrs I've been keeping this beautiful OS as my ever loving friend. Before joining wipro, I can say I used to live for linux. Day and night I used to do one or another things with this little master. I never had my personal /professional desktop booted with any other OS until unless there is a major need. (like for my friends who are non linux users). After joining Wipro my desktop changed to winxp. Had a bit trouble initially to be with a new OS. Got accustomed coz I don't have any option to change it to linux. Then I bought my LapTop. It again came with winxp. Went on for few months and got bored of it and thought of giving a try for linux again. Then I installed the lovely Ubuntu. Its an amazing linux flavour. But was not so comfortable as I'd used RedHat all these yrs. Recenlty I had a plan to move on to RH. JayanSR got me Fedora FC7. Installed last week. But to my surprise it didn't pick up my Wireless. Was so dissapointed. Last 3 days when every I got time I was trying to make my darling detect the wlan. Today I have split headache... still thought of giving a try. Couple of times failed in installing the right driver and finalllyyyyy Hip Hip Hurrayyyyyyyyyyy I succeeded... Now am UP AND RUNNING ON Fedora with WLAN on. And this blog is the first thing what I'm doing after WLAN is up... Am soooo happy eventhough a part of my head is paining due to sinus........

Three cheers to Me :-)

Dhamakadar Party

Organized an awesome party for Sinkom/Viji and Dhaba/Rosmy yesterday. This time almost everyone turned up from our b'lore team, except few. Total of 17 members were there. 6 families and 5 bachelors. Even though majority of them were families, we bachelors also had a private space. I could see many husbands taking permission for one or two drinks from their better half and secretly multiplying it without their knowledge. I too left myself free and went ahead and drank few shots. Was slightly out but gained control later :-). Have uploaded the photos to flickr.

Now Indias match is going on. But there is no cable coming in @ my home :-(.
