Exam 70-229(Sql Server 2000) – 3rd paper of MCAD

Finally bit the bullet and took this exam last Wednesday, and passed with a good margin!

Unlike the .Net exams, I found this was more a case of looking at the answers carefully and filtering out the obvious wrong ones.

Threeeeee papers…. Whew!

Now, I’m a Microsoft Certified Application Developer (MCAD) Woo… Hoooo…

It was Padmapriya Sethuraman who was boosting me at times in many things. I wouldn’t be an MCAD without her guidance. Bunch of thanks to Paddy (Her Nick Name ;-))

For the last academic year 2004 – 2005, My Ex-PL Mr. Arockia Raj (Our Aro) wanted me to take MCAD certification. I didn’t do it that time due to lack of confidence. May be we can say that I was busy in production support and night shifts. :-P At that time, all I wanted is to escape from night shift some how. And most importantly, to fly onsite. HuH!

It’s almost 18 months now in Denver. To start my count down, I have exactly 8 weeks and a day to spend here. I’m turning desperate in returning back to India on time. Because my PLs diplomatic brain has started playing games to stop me from going. Grr… Junk on earth… He is working from home today for no reason… God damn it…

I wanna go home early today… Am gonna take 3:34 PM 83L… I can’t kill the time anymore at office…

Alright, I am not back to form/mood yet… That’s it for today….

Child in me crying out loud :-(

My Mind Is Dull. I'm not sure why that is. Whether it's lack of sleep or lack of sensory input or if it's just plain boredom. I suppose it could be explained by the fact that I've been stuck in my own little corner of the world with something stupid. Or maybe it's because I had so much going on before now. There are plenty of things I could/should be doing, but none of them sound the least bit appetizing right now. Here comes an usual 'TO DO' list. They are, in no specific order:

* Talk to PL and make sure i go to India by Aug 25th.
* Collect the Form 16 from my PM at 10th floor.
* Analyse the Bmgnetx CAE and come up with an estimate. Prepare an analysis document (If possible) to get hold of the analyst before coding.
* Go to the library, drop the CDs & books, collect those are ready for check out.
* Finish and publish the blog about MCAD exam that is still in draft.
* Prepare a 'TO DO' list for the India Plan. ;-)
* Complete the Knitting work.
* Start on canvas painting and Glass painting.
* Write down some of the movies on DVD and free up the hard drive.
* Keep the mind busy. (Pending)

You know what???? I don't like how it is going on right now within me...
I hate it or, alternatively, "I want my childhood back!" :-(

I hate being a grown up, but I haven't truly been a kid since my 10th birthday. I do remember it, though.

All the poetry of being a kid is lost on my grown-up self, and I don't think I'm alone in this. It's something that happens to everyone, I think. Something that happens when you're young and thinking about all the things you're going to do when you "grow up." You never realize how much fun stuff you're going to miss out on when you're older.

Things that I used to enjoy all those years ago are now just inconveniences. I hate that.I want those feelings back. I want to live with a kid's sense of wonder and fun and joy in the world. I don't know if it's possible, but I want it to be. And doesn't that count for something? HUH!!!

I made a wish and i am running out of time......

I want to be alone because i'm feeling lonely......
whaaaaaaaaaaat a craaaaaaaaaaaaaap???

I read "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" -By William Wordsworth and the words below were pacifying to some extent

In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

Oh Well! Am confused greatly now...
I want to laugh at this blog the next time i read it...
Darn, what the heck....
Fight it out.... Get rid off this darkness....
I should quit now...
Damn you... Wrap it up... Grr...

The Perfect Moment

Interesting, is a word that safely, but a bit conservatively, defines a moment when someone that you are speaking with, especially about shared bonds and happen to paint in words the image in your mind as you are envisioning it.
Interesting, however, does not accurately portray the intensity and relevance of a moment that creates a shock powerful enough to make one’s heart skip, and one’s soul to escape through its evidently leaky windows.

So to define moment, it goes like it's so precious, so pure, Hidden and safe withinthe boundaries of time. And to define, the perfect moment in time; it is peaceful and quite as a mime. Every single person has their perfect moment on many occasions and situations but there is one that would override all; when with your own beloved man/woman. And most likely that happens when you are apart.

Your eyes met mine, and I could not look away.
There we were in a perfect moment, a perfect moment in time.
For a moment, you were mine.
Just in our eyes, we made a bridge of sighs.
When we crossed over, it was day.
There we were in a perfect moment, a perfect moment in time.
But still I'm holding you though you're a million miles away.
There we are in a perfect moment, a perfect moment in time.

The perfect moment is not when your hand
Is in mine, but it is good.
The perfect moment is not when your warm
Breath caresses my skin, though it tickles.
The perfect moment is not when your soft
Lips touch mine, yet that is heavenly.
The perfect moment is not when you wink
And grin at me, but I do live for that.
The perfect moment is when we are apart
And I think of you, knowing that you are thinking Of me.
Together, we smile, and it is perfect.

And i would feel, that this perfect moment go undisturbed, keeping me safe from the verge; where my mind may go disturbed.
