Live long and prosper

It was a chilly Friday evening with it being dark outside and fog every around our house...Shlok was sleeping upstairs...We had our fireplace on in the living room...We had cooked some awesome food for dinner along with some sweet desert (hot brownies)...Tanu was sipping a juice...while I was drinking a cold ale...and we were watching the new "Star Trek" together...Sometimes life feels too perfect to be true....

Hike at Bond Lake

Had been for a hike today with Shlok and Tanu...This was the first time Tanu came out for a hike after her pregnancy...Was great fun

One year since Mhais...

Can't believe it's been more than a year since we (the ghati gang) enacted Mhais ....Was watching the video on youtube today....Was so much fun...Wish could go through that experience again.

Crazy weekend

Shlok has been staying with me since Tanu move to Columbia about 12 days ago...We could not ship Shlok with her since it's new place for us....and we have friends and doctors in Morrisville but know hardly anyone there...

Tanu was suppose to visit us this weekend but was drained out due to the flu...To make matters worse she was really homesick and was missing us a lot....So I decided to do a crazy stunt of driving with Shlok to Columbia for the weekend....I wrapped up my work bit early on Friday and started packing...I picked up Shlok from the day care at 5.30 pm...fed him at 6.30 pm ...bathed him at 7.30pm and put him to sleep by 8.30 pm...I then installed him in the car seat and drove 250 miles straight to Columbia...Was this worth it? definitely!!! Seeing Tanu smile and seeing Shloky sleep comfortably next to her that night made it all worth it....

Getting back to Morriville was all the more adventuresome, since I repeated the same feat but this time I drove continuously through heavy thunderstorms....Gave Shlok a big hug and big bottle of milk once we reached home...Can't wait for Tanu to get back home tomorrow for thanksgiving weekend...Hopefully we will be catching up a lot with our friends here in good old Morrisville...

Saang Saang Bholanath!!!

Shlok loves listening to this song while having his dinner

Yoga

Had given up on Yoga since Shlok was born...But have started back again...Unfortunately haven't got back to the complete yoga sessions that I use to do every morning...Anyway however crazy my schedule is (especially managing work and home along with Shlok)...I somehow squeeze out 15 minutes each morning for "Anulom Vilom" and "Kapalbhati"...

Have skipped the gym for couple weeks now...hopefully will get back on a regular workout schedule as well...

And oh yeah and haven't read anything lately..that sucks too..

Wrapped by Python

One of my colleagues pointed to this python website having nice slides/tutorials on some of the advanced concepts in Python.

Screen

Have been playing with the ridiculously awesome Unix screen command. I regret not knowing about this until now.

Screen is an awesome tool which lets you create several terminal windows on a unix server and lets you to connect them from any host. I have created development, unit testing etc windows on my office Unix server. I do development work using these windows on my office machine and once I get back home I get the same windows on my home machine using screen. This is super awesome and has boosted my productivity like anything, since I have the habit of keeping > 10 windows open at a time and I do not have to reopen these when I get back home. Love virtualization.

Shlok the tigger

This was Shlok's first Halloween and Tanu dressed him as "Tigger". It was fun to see all of the kids from our community drop by our house for "Trick or Treat". Tanu and Shlok we sitting outside the garage meeting folks and treating the kids from our neighbourhood while I was busy inside making preparations for the dinner with our friends.
