Old Habits Die Hard

Heard of that before.

Well people who know Awwab working in India, know that He used to have more compensatory Offs than official leaves in India. Becos I used to not only work 10-14 hours a day but also work on weekends whenever required and for weekends get a compensatory off. And can you make a wild guess how many times I had travelled by the last train in the night. I dont remember the count. But I used to remember the time- table for the last train well. And it was scary to sit in the First Class past midnite all alone. But got used to it, As I used to avoid sitting by sleeping on the whole seat. and I had internal alarm in my body that would wake me up just before my station arrived. Ohh those lovely days. I miss the Train!!

So due to Comp-Offs I also had leave in abundance available.

This is my first weekend in office in Q8. Well not really work pressure, but had to rearrange some of my servers which required me to be present in office. But the sad part, I wont get a Comp-Off :(

Anyways, its fine better than sleeping at home! And now I will remember the date as I blogged on it, the same day.

Reading your own self

Well, One more reason, I like blogs, I am reading my own blog. And trying to read what I meant when I blogged earlier. Its soo kool, its like turning pages back of some book and I can re-read what state of mind I was in than.

But if I would not have blogged my thoughts than. I would never ever recollect, the actual things may be.

A friend emailed me asking, Do u like Q8 or u want to move to some other gulf country or US? That puts me to thought, and I also had a discussion about this with a new colleague who is born, brought up Kuwait and was discussing about how I find Kuwait. And got to hear a real picture of kuwait. And Yes, if I can save some money and have a good life its a good place. I think I just need some friends and than I would be rocking in Kuwait. not the literal meaning of Rocking.

Well Baba has joined Microsoft as a Program Manager for its Games section www.zone.com So kool. He was always so Microsoft savvy. he has Bill gates in his MSN Messenger list, sounds so cool. I am so happy for him. I wanted to do some community work out here on Microsoft technologies, but not much of developer community out here. SO not sure if there will be an opportunity. Lets c. Well enuf for now.
