Blocks are expected

Hello,

Its me after long long time, if I am not mistaken. So like usual I started off great but reached a block soon after. The class didn't start off and it has been 5 months since my last post, and I would like to report that even though there seems to be some improvement here and there. Overall I am the same old self, a person who's major obstruction or block is oneself. Laziness is it a disease is there no cure to my problem.....

Got started

Well I told you in my previous post that I am rebooting, so what have I done so far.

Well I have been taking up reading and trying to get myself out of the house more. My aim with rebooting is getting back on track with my life, but sadly life doesn't have an easy reboot button, its not something simple.

For one thing I am finding it hard to stay at one place and do stuff. I am can stay at one place and do nothing, think its hard, well somehow I manage to be able to sit at one place and do absolutely nothing. I want to develop a kinda workaholic and at the same time fun attitude. The goals I have taken up for my life is not something small. As they say when I work I just want to work and do nothing else.

Any way my first step was to Join the State Central Library, Trivandrum I did that did a few enquiries regarding RHCE course and tuition. Have a lot of back papers and in time its only going to increase. I need to change, I still believe that When I become the master of my self I can become the master of the world (and all my problems will be solved). My aim with a reboot is this.

Have to start learning programming from the beginning, am reading old school books these days as well....

Lets see if I can successfully reboot my life, will post updates.

Two States by Chetan Bhagat

I heard reviews about this book from lot of sources like news papers, friends, TV, etc. Many told me that its a must read. After a long time I finally got myself to read this book and let me tell you something my review is don't read it, to me it just felt like any typical Indian masala film, nothing special just another Indian love story. Of course I can't call myself a good or dedicated reader so to an experienced reader he might find something different but for me its nothing but a good book to kill some time if you have absolutely nothing else to do..

Back to Basics - total reboot

"I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times" - Bruce Lee


BASICS thats a six letter word that one may have heard almost a dozen times. Let me tell you one thing, those 6 letter are the one that will define anything and everything. Learning the BASICS is the foundation of mastering any art, fighting style, trade, craft skill that man has developed under the sun. No matter which path you choose in life you can't master that path with out  basics. As I am progressing more and more with my life it came to my attention that my BASICS are screwed. 


Why I came to this decision? Well example the programming languages. I have been learning different programing languages for the last eight years, during which I have learned C, C++, PHP, Python, Ruby, VB, SQL and software development frame works like QT, GTK+, Django, Drupal, Code Ignited, etc. I have completed several projects on them for college and as hobby projects. But to be truthful I would never say that I am even an intermediate level user in them. I even sometimes find myself googling few of the basic syntax of a language.


So is the case with various things in my life lack the basics like my communication, spelling, writings, etc. The reason being my own mistake of not concentrating on my BASICS but going after bigger stuff. One of the good quote that I like that defines an engineer is One who know something of everything, and everything of something ( don't know who's words this is), in my case i know something of everything and everything about nothing. So I am going to follow another great quote from start wars " You must first unlearn what you have learned ".  


Gona reboot my head this summer holidays, got a general idea. First is to join the public library, then start reading books, relearn on the basics of computers and programming keeping with 2 languages for now ( C and PHP), meet up with old friends from school, do maybe a certification course, join the gym, go for a morning jog in the park - well these might seems as your daily routine and simple, but for a person who haven't done any of these things in ones life its going to be hell. Hopefully I am going to stick with my plan to get serious in life and get through this summer holidays which I would like to put up as My LIFE CHANGING BOOT CAMP.


 I am hoping to make this reboot the only on I would ever need in my life and well we will see if this post is going to be just a reason from me to stay up all night, or am I going to do something with my life. 


So Stay tuned.

Where did my today go

Waking up after a good nap I asked my self the question Where did my today Go?. The question millions have asked before me and millions will ask after me. Went to bed yesterday by midnight, early by my usual standards. Woke up at 11:30 am, OMG slept in - so got out of bed, went for a bath and went to eat. Came back by 1 Pm. Ready to get my days works started had to do some studies for exams, spend some time on research for an article and finish a few I have kept in draft. Before starting on my days activity felt a little drowsiness, one that you feel after having a good lunch. Decided to lie my head down for a couple of minutes.............

Woke up 10 minuted ago, to be exact 6:40 Pm.

Now back to my original question Where did my Today go?
