Office Office!

Sorry I wans't able to update my blog for few days now. With a release coming up, I feel I am working more than I have ever worked in my whole life. I mean 8 hrs continuously (of course I dint work every minute I do take breaks and bug ppl. Can i change that quality of mine???). Its a different but great feeling. Earlier at school I never used to work more than 3 or 4 hrs. It was a great deal for me to sit at one place and work. But now, its got a habit for me. I have started enjoying coming to office and start working. There are days when you work on something the whole day and you cannot figure out whats wrong in the code and there has been amazing days that the code just gets fixed with some magic I did. I mean just think about it. I am actually coding something which is gonna be used by people very soon. My god I always wanted to do such jobs, but I am already doing it. While I was doing my thesis project in my Masters, I was always so proud and happy that I was doing something which has a practical value. I was working on a s/w for visually impaired. Some day or the other its gonna be used for real. Right now my best friend is working on it and finishing it, but either ways I was and am happy that there was some part in it. But now, its another great feeling. I am making a whole new feature from scratch. I have seen such a feature in a nuvi before, but never ever thought how easy or difficult was to code that. It was a black box then, I provide destination and it gives me results. But now, I am actually doing that page, it feels great. I donno what kind of bugs would turn up tomorrow. Let me be optimistic about it, may be there would be really minor ones. Common, I have to accept that humans tends to do mistakes and I am no less. But I am been testing my s/w for few days now and it turned out to be really useful. May be I am biased coz i created it. Very much possible. But then I dont care, its useful for anyone whoz new to the city and wanna see the whole list of turn they are gonna make instead of looking at the map one turn at a time.

Yep I know I am just writing too much about myself. But, I just could not control my happiness. I knew I would work for a company one day, but actually working for one is exciting. I love my job. Its new, good learning experience and more than anything I have awesome team mates. Everyone at Garmin (as far as I've met) are so kind to me. I got areally good friend : Sangita. These 2 ppl just adore me and are so nice to me. Thank you guys! I have got an excellent lunch gang : Sangi, Lizee, Kandy, Radhika, Sarah and Dilusha. It is always so much fun at lunch to make different conversations. I like the way Kandy and Radhika tease me every day. One day they dont turn up, I feel so bad there is no 1 to tease me. Thats how close we all have become. With all this plus amazing work, why would I not be happier any more. Okee guys, this is a short yet sweet description of my life at Garmin which I just love! Would update some more soon!
