Had some free time and so watched 50 First Dates.
50 First Dates is a romantic comedy starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. Wasn’t able to catch it in the theatres, however am glad I finally watched it.

Henry Roth (Sandler) is a veterinarian living in Hawaii who enjoys the company of vacationing women. He leaves the [...]

Had a rather tiring but rewarding day today. Was out last night with a pal of mine till late and I guess that also contributed to my fatigue.
In addition to my usual project work I had to setup the system for one of my earlier projects. Wasn’t really able to complete that setup due to [...]

Ladder 49 tells the story of Jack Morrison [...]

The end of the week, end of the induction program and the end of our rotation. One as usual, one expected and one not-so-expected.
Finally at long last our induction program drew to an end on Wednesday. After the program we were informed that due to work pressures, we can no longer continue our induction program, [...]

Upgraded my pc through my dealer Ashish.

Finally, after a long long time, I went out for a movie.
After a rather mind saturating (but a well learnt) week at work, the movie was the much deserved break.
Melody wanted to go watch Bride and Prejudice and so off we went for it. Accompanying us was her supermodel and now fashion designer friend Gail [...]

Just finished watching Jersey Girl, a beautiful movie starring Ben Affleck (Ollie), Liv Tyler (Maya) and Raquel Castro (Gertie).

Ollie (Ben Affleck) is a top of his game N.Y publicist. He has a perfect life with a beautiful wife and a [...]
