So, yet again I find myself thinking about,what has been and what's going to be. It is February, and two months into the new year. Life is rolling along like an out of control vehicle that's lost its brakes. And I'm like the driver inside who is fighting with the steering wheel to avoid crashing onto something. Just hoping that I'll be able to bring this analogical vehicle to a stop. Get fixed up and start again. Lets wait and see.
What have I done in these 2 months? Well, I started writing my journal, again. Picked up on the weekend runs, began reading books - Completed four so far. The last one I finished was "For Whom The Bell Tolls" - by Ernest Hemingway. I traveled to Pondy and Mahabalipuram on the third week of January (Planning to write a detailed blog post on that). The only thing pending was blogging, but I guess when I publish this one I can tick it off my list.
A special note - Today is Feb 14th - Valentines day and also a Sunday, and my heart goes out to all the people working on this day. Yes I am in my office, monitoring logs, checking orders and learning Python, waiting for the so called incidents to occur. Not like it would've made much of a difference otherwise. (Who am I kidding?) I'm listening to The Cure as I'm composing this, and from this day forth I might make this a tradition. Listening to the following songs on 14th Feb every year -
- A Letter to Elise
- From the edge of the deep green sea
- To Wish Impossible Things
- Just Like Heaven
- Pictures of You
Even though they are said to be the best breakup bands, masters of gloom and doom with Gothic vibes, I personally find their songs peaceful and easy on the ears. My relationship with their songs began during my first year of college. It was 'Pictures of you' that came to my mind and refused to leave me alone. The overall mood of their songs might be about loss, regret and sorrow, but the lyrics are some of the best. Period.
So , this is me signing off for now
Here's a valentines day special heart I made in python :
from turtle import *
def floatingRange(start,stop,step):
while (start != stop):
start = start + step
yield start
color ('red','red')
begin_fill()
left(140)
forward(120)
penup()
home()
pendown()
left(40)
forward(120)
for i in floatingRange(0.0,14.5,0.5):
forward(i)
left(i)
right(140)
for i in floatingRange(0.0,14.5,0.5):
forward(i)
left(i)
end_fill()
done()
And here's the output :
(I know it needs some modifications, but whatever)
