Here’s a piece which I found on the book.. “Java Unleashed” on the internet…I liked it..
Consider an embezzlement program implemented with Java: A Worker object skims some Money objects from the CompanyFunds object and puts them in its own BankAccount object. If another Worker object uses the DoublecheckFunds object, a Police object will be called.
A nice way to introduce Object Oriented Programming..
In the afternoon, we(Zakir, Rajesh and myself) went for a good walk by the canalside.. The day is bright and sunny, though its cold outside. I love walks. Seems to be a good day today.. Has to come to office during this weekend., System upgrade to be done. Maybe Smruti will come in on Sunday to help..(We have to get that ISO thingy as well..)

Get in Early into the office, and Get a lecture on getting Married from Rajesh and Smruti.. What a beginning for the day. Nearly one hour was spent on advising me to get married, and if possible in UK itself so that I can settle down here. Thanks., I will keep these in mind. Smruti, I had told you more than a year back, that after say another 5-10 years, I will be retiring, to my “Self Sustaining Farm House” (Alternate living??!!) and relax., maybe I will watch the world go by or just watch the paint dry. I havent changed a bit., I still has that in my mind. Thanks anyway.
Had a lot of work in the office., but smuggled out sometime, when Pradeep’s mail came, invited him for a yahoo chat.. Had a good chat with him for around one hour..(Told him about my farmhouse!!) got back to work, finished many pending things, had a ’email-chat’ with Sunita. and off to home..Had a wash., Completed the journal for Saturday and Sunday., Zubin called up, he wanted to go to Sainsburys. Sent Birthday wishes to Prema.. (I came to know, today only from Pradeep, that her birthday is on 14th of Dec.)
Jimmy : So Praveen, You are becoming more of a tomboy.,
Praveen: why?!
Jimmy : I heard you kissed one of your boss at the Party
Praveen: No.. no no…She kissed me..(trying to Explain)
Jimmy : I get all the news!!
Erica : Praveen, you’re becoming outrageous..
Praveen: But..(trying to explain)
Oh..oh.. So went the Conversation, till
Praveen: Erica, There are two things in the world which makes a lot of money., Sex and God.,
Erica : Which one will you choose?!!
Jimmy : Sex., I’m answering for Praveen.
Erica : I’ll go for God!!(She’s a staunch Christian)
Praveen: (after a bit of thought) Given a choice, I will go for Money..!! (Other two seems boring)
PS:I am still writing the entries for Saturday and Sunday.. Will post it soon.. Hold you breath.
Called up Prasanth, and He wished me Happy Birhtday and soon the line got disconnected. I was unable to contact him later as I was not getting connection.
Was late at office,. So went home late, was getting ready to go for a swim, Jimmy (My house owner) and Erica(The other person Staying in the house.. a Student) were teasing me over a kiss I had in the X-mas Party..(I am still writing the journal entries for Saturday and Sunday and will post it soon). Meanwhile Zubin called up and wanted me there.. (I knew a Cake was in store for me, as a surprise). Girish came late, and by that time, we were already into “The Lost World – Jurassic Park II”., after Girish came, I cut the cake(blew a candle on top of it), Zubin and Girish got a piece and guess what, They mashed the cake on my face.. I also mashed it on them.. soon it was Rashmi’s turn.. She was looking for cover, but Could’nt escape the cake throw. Finally after wiping & cleaning the face, had a good dinner followed by Fruit Salad. I had got a gift from them.. a Digital organiser. I still am relying on my small telephone diary in my pocket. Went to sleep at around 11.00.
Here are some tips to effective communication. (Warning: all the tips should be tried at ones own risk)
Zakir had just slammed the phone on his wife..
Rajesh: What happened Zakir, I heard you had another accident?
Zakir: Yes., but it ws not my fault, the car from behind hit me.
Rajesh: You must be driving really slow..
Zakir: No., Ask Praveen regarding my driving.
Praveen: Yes.., Zakir drives really fast.
Rajesh: Zakir, Does your wife drive??
Zakir: No…
Praveen (interrupting): Oh yes, She drives.. She drives Zakir mad..(Sometimes)
PS: Seema (Zakir’s wife) is a really good person., I’ve met her.
There are two possible ways of looking a things(there may be many). Sometime back, a Senior Colleague of mine, dumped some of his work on me.. I am to look into problems in the system, Which I have little knowledge of.
