Its embarrassing if I post how much time do I end up spending travelling in VOLVO bus all the way from ITPL to Banshankari, yesterday was no different, infact it was just horrible, torture sitting in a slow moving bus.
Its been almost 2 weeks that I started travelling from ITPL in a 500 series volvo bus. All these days, I had avoided boarding the 500K ITPL - Vijaynagar bus due to some strange reason. The strange reason being, my instinct told me not to. Instead I used to wait for the next 500C. But yesterday somehow overrid my instinct and got inside this 500K and believe me, it was the torture of a lifetime.
Left ITPL around 5 10 pm and took 6 45 pm to reach SilkBoard. Lots of other 500 series bus came from behind and overtook this bus and in no time disappeared. But this particular driver had other plans, I guess he either wanted to make this trip his last trip for the day or I guess he just did not want to go home.
Finally after 1 hour 45 minutes of unbearable torture of sitting in a slow moving vehicle, I felt thoroughly embarrassed and wanted to avenge my anger by doing something useful.. cant say productive though. So I got down at East end and came over to 4th block Jayanagar to the Book paradise for buying some new book.
The book I wanted to buy was Architecting enterprise applications using .NET, and believe me it was not in stores even after doing rounds to the store for 3 weeks. So finally another book caught my eye, Beginning VC++ 2010. I was in two minds whether to buy or not. But my love for VC++ is so strong that even though I have never professionally programmed with it, wanted to buy it just for the sake of learning it.
So here I am, after 6 years of professionally using CSHARP, I start to read a VC++ book, a humble beginning, I would love to learn how to use the windows API once I learn the language. And then would move towards learning COM, yeah, it was there on my wishlist for the year 2011.
I guess I avenged my anger for being so so late in a different way.
Cheers,
