OMG!! My new job wanted me to be more social!!

May 13th, 2012 | No Comments »

Well, it’s not like I don’t like being social. It’s just that I never had time to spend quality time in Facebook and such mostly coz I spend most of my time at work and the rest of the time running personal errands at home. But I always wondered how great it feels when your job requires you be a part of this connected world. Especially when you are being a part of the creators who are making this connected world a reality. Now with my new job, it’s like my dream come true. In just about a week, I spent so much time with connected communities such as Pinterest, Viddy, Via.me, Soundtrack… Sigh! Now breaking my head in creating innovative communities. Transforming from a kernel developer to this new genre of developers is not an easy thing, but it’s really worth putting all my effort to make this new beginning a memorable one!

Good Bye HCL, Hello Sourcebits

April 27th, 2012 | No Comments »

Sigh, after 3 months of waiting, the last day of my employment with HCL has come. I have met some good folks over there who really helped me in shaping my career. I will miss them all. On the brighter side of the change, I am very excited to join Sourcebits. I will be designing and developing iOS. Yes, you heard that right! After being a hardcore kernel programmer these many years, I am making a huge shift. I always enjoyed learning new things and with Sourcebits, I am not only going to learn something new, but I am also going to learn something that I really love. It’s going to be a really tough transition for me, I can sense long hours and hard work. But the thing is, I never really enjoyed anything that is easy. I am all prepared to take on this change and hopefully, everything I have in my mind will be accomplished.

Introducing Lipsy, Bigo and Dot

June 20th, 2010 | 2 Comments »

A very hectic weekend, but one cute thing happened. I visited a pet shop which used be my favorite when I was a kid. As soon as I entered the shop, the lady that works recognized me and was reminding me how I used to spend one full day watching all the fishes in the shop and explaining others about different breeds … heh, that’s so true and it was very nostalgic. My family and I finally got over our Arowana that passed away after being loyal pet for almost 10 years. So I thought I’ll shop for new members to my aquarium.

I came across these fishes with cute mouth and I loved them…called “Parrot Cichlids”.. Interesting thing is one of the fishes had red colored lips …. lol .. it was so cute and funny … I bought three of them, I know it’s an odd number .. but the thing is the pet shop folks themselves didn’t have a matching pair for any of these three…but they promised me they will get for me… let’s see.. So here they are, the first one – Lipsy, for her cute lips…apart from her lips, another interesting thing is the flowers in her body… two red flowers with distinct petals and stem on both sides.. amazing…

Side view:

And then the big guy .. Cichlids are known to be very responsive to humans and they recognize their boss.. he is the biggest of all and I was playing around with him … he was following my hand movements with his funny chewy mouth..lol… looked very sharp, smart and very observing.. I picked him and named him Bigo.

Side view:

And finally this dude, who reminded everyone in my family of a stuffed toy fish…seriously, his shape is very clear and distinct, smooth and fanned out fins… sight was beautiful and got him .. named him Spot.

All three together -

My tank has lot of stains .. Grr.. I think I am saying that coz I made my mind to buy that gorgeous imported fish tank with no joints anywhere. that I saw in the pet shop.. heh, let’s see.
