Genius is one per cent inspiration, ninety-nine per cent perspiration.
Edison, Thomas Alva 1847–1931
[said c.1903, in Harper's Monthly Magazine September 1932]
Yes, still a long way to go. I am not tired. Am excited about the surprises that life brings on.

Novemeber 13-14, 2004
After coming back to Bangalore on Saturday, i went to Office for doing some pending work. Did the same for some time, say 3/4 hrs. And the sun started coming down, i felt lonely at Office, since no-one was there at the campus except few staffs and some Night Shift Employees.
I sat in the Arena (Open Air) for couple of hours, enjoying the evening all alone. Sky was very dark, and few stars very blinking, making the sky more beautiful. Sky and very-few Stars looked really good that time.
After enjoying the evening, i went home. Suddenly i got an idea to watch a movie. I decided to go to theatre. Since it was a long-festival weekend(5 days) here, theatres were empty, tickets were available for all shows. Theatre had 4 screens. 3 screens were showing some Hindi movies and one showed english movie. I decided to go for the english one.
"King Arthur", the movie by name itself explained that its going to be a war movie. Recently, war movies are coming up quite well. I saw "Troy" few months back. And now this one. The movie was good one. It was about a Knight - "Arthur" fighting for his country, rather protecting people of his country from their enemies.
Weekend went off quickly.

Diwali
Aye... Its Diwali Time.. And it went off very quickly..
After a long dilemma and struggling-with-work days, my manager accepted me to go to home for Diwali. And there was a condition on that, i should return back to work on Saturday, meaning i can spend only 2 days (Thursday and Friday) with my family/friends for Diwali Festival.
Thoughi have booked my tickets for this festival, a month before. I was totally stopped becos of work. Finally, i went home on 10th Nov. Reached on 11th Nov morning, the people have started bursting crackers already. I thought it was a welcome-blast for me to enter the city.
This time, Diwali is very special to us. 'Cos, my niece's first Diwali. Yep, she is just 4 months old. And we were very eager to see the reaction of her on Diwali (Crackers sound...). She got used to it and no cryings from her. But we were trying to get her away from all these real loud sounds. And you can not avoid these sounds completely , 'cos the whole city was enjoying.
And as usual, sweets were served, a good south-indian meal and some non-alcoholic drinks. Any festivals, these are the common things people do here. Eat well, Watch TV and Enjoy. The same we did.
On Diwali evening, i got a call from my colleague, saying that i dont have to return to Bangalore on Saturday. Instead, i can come back on Monday. Previously, when i was asked to come back on Saturday, i have cancelled my ticket for sunday and pre-poned my trip to friday night. Now when this happy news came out, i could not get tickets for sunday night. It was full. All festival time, train and bus tickets are always full.
So i decided to come back on friday itself. And now im in bangalore, writing this.

Weekend at Office - October 30-31 & November 1, 2004
Gosh, I spend all the time in Office. I could not do anything other than doing my office work.
Was busy with constructing our project web pages. The functionality involved in it is a complicated one. And we are totally doing our best to satisy the customer need.
The main problem we are having is, the customer is seeing the application and changing his reqiurements constantly. Since, previously he didnot have any application. We are making him a new portal, he sees the screen and comes back with "change this control, write this line in the page". We have to do these things also, irrespective of other hectic work given to us.
For the one who does not know what i have been telling in the above lines, "WORK MAKES VIGNESH DULL & I CANT STOP IT, B'COS ITS MY WORK"
Hope all had a good weekend. Hope to see a great week ahead.
