This is my daily routine. If i was a very vibrant person how would i write this? Let me try....

"Trrrrrrrrrrringgggg" "Trrrrrrrrrrringgggg" "Whaaat the....." Oh that is the alarm ringing. Great, is it 7.30 already. I get off the bed and stretch. Drawing the curtain, i let light enter the room. What a wonderful morning. The sun is shining and the world looks a wonderful place. I brush my teeth and go downstairs. Mom has a cup of hot coffee ready. Coffee, what can i say about it. Coffee vitalizes a person. It is nector, it is alcohol, it is everything, and the most important thing in a person's day. Have a hot cup of coffee the first thing in the morning and your day is never going to spoil.

The newspaper has nothing interesting. There are a few photos of girls in skimpy clothes. Ogle them. It is 8.30. Oh well, bath time. Finish bath, finish prayer, have breakfast and get ready as fast as possible to leave for work.

Ahh Work. Wonderful place.

I am a software engineer and love what i am doing. It is my passion. I was asked in my introductory meeting with the director at my first workplace and i told him that my passion was to write code in C#. Yes it is true. That is my passion.
Today, i have to design and work on a truly wonderful idea. The managers at my workplace want to generate some reports to view the performance of the employees. So they have decided on a template. I am supposed to design and work on the code to generate this report. The wonderful part in this project, is that they want it to be configurable. In future they may decide to change the format and don't want to change code to generate report in the changed format. Wow, what a challenge. I go about looking at the DB. All the data i need are present there. The DB design is ready. I go ahead with the code design, and decide to use XML to make the report configurable. I am so engrossed in the design that i do not check the time, until my friend comes up and tells me it is time to leave. With a heavy heart i leave work. Somehow my day seems incomplete. I reach home and still can't get my mind off my project. Mom has coffee ready. Coffee, wonderful. What better tonic to get your spirits up. Have coffee, something to eat and go upstairs to my room. Listen to music and chat with friends for some time. Mom calls at 8.30 for dinner. Finish dinner, watch the TV for around half an hour and then go to sleep. Need to wake up early, have unfinished work at office......


P.S: I did not make that comment about passion. It was a friend who joined that company at the same time. And no, i do think about my projects at home( actually i don't even think about them at office)
