Raindrops fallin' on my head..

Black clouds rolled in, driven by the chilly mountain breeze. Everything around grew a few shades darker. Like a well rehearsed snippet straight off the stages on Broadway, the trees swayed to the music of nature. Just a moment before, the city stood, stark and noisy, in all its materialistic splendor, only to be washed anew now. Bathed in the dusky evening light, LA transformed. Silence seemed to be the mantra for the moment; but only, for a moment.

Pitter patter, sound of laughter,
The earth soaks in cold water.

Its raining in LA :-)

about me:

mediocrity rules my life.....

Coding woes!

I've been sitting all day long staring at the computer screen. Coding seems to keep me awake better than caffeine. Racking my brains and jabbing at the keyboard, has pretty much been the mantra for more than 12 hours now. I have a feeling I'll be doing this for the rest of the week. For loops and printf's are as much a part of my life now as are cooking and cleaning the house - dont really love it, but dare not hate it. 

I clearly remember Mr. Swamy from school - with his scantily vegetated head, onto which the tubelight descended, ever so flawlessly. "Its all about logic" he used to say, punctuating it with a trademark chuckle of his. Of the little in C++ that he tried teaching us, very little made its way into my head. Not surprisingly, very little of the 100 marks allotted, made its way into my marks card. 

Hmm.. that was a long time ago. I have made my peace with Mr. Swamy, for the things that he failed to teach and for the ones that I failed to underdstand. Somehow in the 7 years between then and now, the hostility towards coding has softened to a great extent. I'll pray that sometime in the future, I will actually enjoy doing this.

But, for now, the saga of the inevitable code continues. Hopefully I'll get the output within the next hour. Its time to face my demons, again - Its time to code, yet again.
