The "morning-after" child

My friends, Archana and Sudip, have become proud parents of a baby girl on the 16th. The baby was born at 3:00 AM and weighed 2.7 Kilos. She is still in the incubator and probably going through a tornado of emotions. Maybe she is still thinking of her past life or maybe she is having somekind of a premonition about whats to come - who knows but it would definitely be interesting to peek inside an infant's mind. Maybe infants are just ignorantly selfish to bother about just their needs.

Anyways, if she was born on the 15th of August - she would have been in the league of midnight's children but since she escaped the stroke of 12 so she becomes the "morning after" child.

Also, I bought a electric blue kinetic nova yesterday and I am all excited about it.

I resigned from Oracle

Last Friday I finally called it quits at Oracle. It was not an easy decision by any means but one needs to move on to better things (as the materialist says). Though I was quite surprised by the speed at which the whole "new-job" thing happened. It hurtled like a Japanese monorail and I didn't even have the time to think it over a cup of coffee. Well, I guess I had been thinking about it over numerous cups of coffee and I had it coming anyway.

To err is human but so is to hope.
