Dojo :: A Javascript Library
Jun 7th
Been trying to look into Dojo Toolkit for a few days… The features are good and I wondered why it wasn’t the No.1 ??? But, as days passed, I found a few worse things with that toolkit……
- It was heavy-weight toolkit.
- It loads all the JS files (summing to 700KB) even though not at all necessary…
- Requires a high efficient system .. An ordinary system cannot work well Dojo …
- It takes up all the RAM of the system, hanging the system for a while….
So, I thought its better to shift to some other toolkit — May be JQUERY is better ……
Let me try that also….

My First Earning
Jun 3rd
Hi!
My first earning reached my account 3 days ago… It really feels good to have your first earning coming into your hands…. I was happy ( take it as superlative degree of joy)….. Its not a big amount ( just 14000+ bucks) but still I was happy…. No work and still you get paid… Who wouldn’t love it??
I decide not to save any part from that….. And also not to spend it on anyone else…. Just ME…..
i wanna spend it all for myself……. The immediate next day, we all (Praveen, Suresh & me) rushed to B.F. (Brand Factory)…. Got hands on all kind of things there ……
Its really a good thing to : SHOP AS YOU WISH & SWIPE YOUR VISA….
hehe… Time for my cup of coffee ..)

First Month @ IBM
Jun 2nd
A month passed by…. Got the stipend into bank account… But, still no hands on my project…. My mentor has been busy all these days. Even he works most of the days remote ( from home ).
So, my daily routing had been to :
- Start to office at 9.10 AM
- Have breakfast at the IBM Food Court by 9:55 AM
- Go to my desk by 10:10 AM
- Check my mails, scraps, posts etc.
- Have a cup of Coffee
- Lunch 12:45 PM to 1:45 PM
- A coffee again at 3:00 PM
- Again a sip of coffee at 4:30 PM
- Back to room at 7:00 PM
- Have dinner on the way.
- Watch the IPL match
- Late night sleep
And the day starts over again!
So boring routine right??? Hmmm… feel the same but couldn’t help without any work….

First Week @ Bangalore
May 9th
Hi !
At last, I’ve started to Bangalore for my Intern @ IBM, Bangalore. Couldn’t get reservation on train so had to take a bus. Its really a hectic journey .. 18 hours of continuous journey in a bus …
I reached Bangalore @ 6 am but had to wait for my friend Praveen to arrive there (hez also an intern) whoz coming by train .. The train got delayed and came at 11.45 keeping me waiting all that time ….
The first problem faced is ACCOMMODATION. We went on searching for that for two complete days and finally got settled in an house….
Coming to office part, its pretty cool…. Its different from what I expected… People are having fun there….. Got my PC (worst kind) at the end of my first week.
Waiting for my project to begin ….
