My 2007 New Year Day Eve

My Last eve of 2007 new year day
It was an empty office where all left
to get ready to welcome new year except Me and my colleague Sasmita
sitting and hitting the keyboard
The only sound we could hear was the sound of typing.

we had been assigned a task to be completed in the same day by our Lead Lokesh(at Onsite) who i found good at technically and in person
I can just proudly say the period i was working under him is the era of my learning.

The task assigned to us was implementing a Recoverable Quartz scheduler Jobs which keeps pinging the third party vendor and gets the response till it comes

Myself involved in creating a Quartz scheduler Job.
Somehow we buried all our enthusiasm to welcome 2007
we totally involved in the task assigned to us

Lucikly with the support of Sasmita i managed to finish it.
we looked at each other and smiled. There was a reason behind the smiling
we have to test it before sending the status
OOps unfortunately the offshore team doesnt have acces the third party vendor to which the job was suppose to ping it and get the response

We started debating.At last we have arrived a conclusion.Thank God.
lets write a servlet which simulates third party vendor.
Sasmita came forward to take it boldly and completed in a time of Eyeblink
Hats off to her.She was not recognized for the same in the appraisal..that was the rest of the story.I havent worked before with such a female collegue who sounds very good at Technical.

Oh Great.Quartz job and the servlet simulator both are ready in our plate.
Just i started to run my scheduler job which pings the Servlet runs at Sasmitha's machine.so many exception..Looked at each other..remembered the words of Lokesh dont get scared of ExceptionDig in to it..Solve it..

We both were running to my machine and Samitha's machine before and after
At One point of time we found everything works perfectly..No Exception..Felt like winning a war..Send the Status...Check in the files..Hurry up...Wind up. Time was 10.30 P.M.

I remember i commited to my friends that
i will bring a cake to celebrate the New year.I realized the reason of many missed call in my mobile to which i havent given attention so far.
The first thing i did was called them up and assured them the cake and celebrations
Then literally was running at koramangala to find a Backery. Oh god..Thanks to SweetChariot..was opened late night especially for the NewYear celebrations.
Bought a Cake..Take an Auto..Fogot the double charge..Reaching home on time only was in my mind

Everybody was waiting at the Door to kick me.
As they saw the Cake in my hand they forgot and ran to the terrace..
Started the preperation at the terrace..Time ticking 11.58..59...60......2007....The rest all are usual...applying Cake in every others face...
Felt like my hard work to get a cake went in vein...Danced...Shouted..Oh very tired..
Slept nicely..That was Non alcoholic celebration...believe it or not
