Road Rage - Happy Ending

Today was very quiet in office. In first half i was working on the prototype application which i have been trying to build for past couple of weeks. Then in afternoon one defect got assigned to me. Grudgingly i had to stop my prototype work and start working at this defect, as we are very close to the release date and thus makes it urgent. By 7:30 PM i have figured out the root cause of the problem, found a solution and sent my code for review. Tomorrow it will be checked in the accurev (place where programmers keep their code).

I packed my bag and started my 20 km drive from office to my house. It typically takes about an hour to reach home during normal traffic. India is a developing nation. Further Pune is a growing city in India. A sleepy pensioner's paradise has suddenly emerged as a major IT hub. Thus Pune has seen lot of growth in last one decade. However development of infrastructure has not kept its pace with growing population. Further people are always in a rush. So driving during peak hours can be very challenging. It gets worse if you are on a car, as 2 wheelers will try to overtake you from left and right. And if you escape them, then you have pedestrians coming from every direction. Sometimes your driving experience will be rewarded with presence of a herd of cows and buffalos.

If it is not raining or too cold i too prefer to commute on my motorcycle, but today it was both rainy and cold. So i was driving back home in my car minding all the usual hurdles along the way. I will say that my driving skills in India have improved a lot in past one year. Truly practice makes a man perfect or near perfect. To make this journey enjoyable i typically listen to songs or play some audio books. Today i was listening to Atlas Shrugged. Right now it has come to a very interesting turn. There is a stretch of two way one lane each side road along the way. So here i was minding my own way and listening to the audio book. Suddenly I heard an irritating sound of horn. I looked ahead. There was a car in front of me. I looked in rearview mirror. There was a person driving a scooter and honking continuously. As nothing i could do i ignored him. Then again "Peep Peep" and again and again. Now it was getting irritating. What did he want from me? Can my car fly? Of course not. He kept on doing this for next 5 minutes. Now i had decided that i must give him a taste of his own medicine.
A narrow space emerged and this guy overtook me. Now i was behind his scooter. And here it comes. A big "Pop Pop" and then another one. He raced his scooter. I speeded my car. And then another honking and another. He looks behind and i press horn hard. And then another horn. Ah it was so pleasing. By now we have reached the Khadki over bridge. It is a multi-lane road. So i changed lane and brought my car parallel to his scooter. I rolled down my window and ask him - "How did you find the sound system of my car". He slowed down and made a salute to me. I thought he had got my message and again i returned back to my audio book and rest of the journey back home.

Movie Review : Real Steel

Yesterday movie Real Steel was on TV. I had seen promos of it for last few days and was determined to see it. I liked it very much and thus decided to write a blog entry for it.

Well it is a movie on Robot and set in little distant future (2018), where Robots take the place in boxing ring. So if boxing and robots are not of your interest you can simply skip/ignore whatever i have to say next.

Man characters of this movie are Charlie (Hugh Jackman  remember X-Men series), Max (Dakota Goyo a new kid whom i haven't seen before), the good robot (ATOM), the bad robot or the robot on bad side (ZEUS)

In summary the movie is about father son bonding, realizing what is really important and yeah robots killing other robots. Dakota Goyo has done a superb job. The fight sequences are worth watching. Dialogues are crisp and don't bore you.

So my recommendation is to watch it if you like this genre of movie. My rating 4/5.

Conversation with a kid

Kids are always fun to talk to. Today i had this conversation with a young girl (she is about 8-9 years old).

Ishita - Maine dekha ki main skating kar rahi thee. Wo jagah bahut achhi aur cement se plastered thee. Yahan ki tarah ubar khabar nahin.
Anup - Fir kya hua
Ishita - Main bahut fast skating kar rahi thee aur bahut maja aa raha tha. Tabhi kya hua ki maine dekha samne ek tree hai aur wahan par meri mamma phone par baat kar rahi thee.
Anup (chintit awaj main) - Oh fir.
Ishita - Main bahut dar gayi. Mujhe laga ki agar aise hi skating karti rahi to mamma se takra jaungi aur fir daant lagegi.
Anup - Fir kya hua
Ishita - Fir kya tha. Maine apni skate ko turn kara diya, lekin thodi hi der baad saamne ek doosra per aa gaya aur main usase takra gayi.
Anup - He bhagwan. Fir kya hua.
Ishita - Meri skate ulat gayi aur mujhe bahut chot lag gayi. Main rone lag gayi.
Anup - Achha.
Ishita - Fir meri aankh khul gayi. Main bahut dar gayi thee aur ro rahi thee.
Anup (Muskurate hue) - Lekin baad main to tum hansi hogi jab tumhain pata chala ki wo sab ek dream tha.
Ishita (Haste hue) - Ha Ha. Fir to main khoob hasi.
