A hard day 

Don’t let the title worry you too much. Now as I think about it, it wasn’t that hard a day. It felt hard, though, while I was living it.

I have been working on solving a really difficult problem for one of my projects. If I crack it, it might bring some good fortune. But if I don’t crack it, the needle won’t move. I have spent more than 10 days, at this point, trying to find a reliable solution. I expressed my frustration in my post a couple of days ago Working with AI. Yes, this post was written at the peak of frustration with the problem statement.

Just like other hard days, I felt like I needed a reward for all my hardships. It was 11 PM. Fuck it, I thought. I ordered some chicken. On most normal days, I fast from 6 PM to 10 AM the next day. But on days that bother me, self pity wins. I deserve this, I tell myself.

Munching on this chicken wrapped in a Kerala Parotta at 11:30 PM, I stumble across a solution. Or, maybe, this last change finally brings all the pieces together. I feel satisfied. I am not really sure, if it is the carbs kicking in or the code finally working. It doesn’t matter.

I get ready for bed, happy that the code is finally working. But guilty that I gave in to an indulgence, and lost today’s battle.

It is Sunday. I woke up early today. I am not sure why. I think I had to go to the bathroom. Or had I set my body clock to go off before Sanika’s 7:30 AM dance class?

Motivational Fees

I love food. Live to eat – will apply aptly in my case. Happy – celebrate with food, tempo down – cheer up with food, anxiety attack – need an endless supply of food to calm down!

Day 1 - I have no idea

Trying my hand at writing for 30 days straight. I have no idea what I am gonna write though. Sometimes I feel I’d probably write more if there was a knife which would start running behind me the moment I stop writing. Isn’t every day like this? I don’t clean the room until it’s s...

Difficult jobs

His days had started feeling longer. He felt this when he realized that he had to wait for his day to get over. He didn’t have much to look forward to after his work was done. He didn’t have much to look forward to at work either.

Reading Habit

My monkey brain is in overdrive when I am alone. I can’t read. I can’t write. I can’t watch an entire movie. I can’t code. Well this is all I can do when I can. There is not much else to me.
