Summary of the whole week...

I cannot say anything... It has been one of the best and worst weeks in my life..... First good news (good for me) is that I have finally started to learn to drive a 4 wheeled vehicle.... And I am doing pretty good.. It's been a week (as I already have written in the heading) and I have not scratched the car (that does not mean that I have crashed it, it just means that everything has been going pretty well....).

But the joys and thrills of this driving thing are not enough for me to keep enjoying what has been going on... So there were more things. I have been learning to play an electronic keyboard for a little over a month now. And there was a get together of my tuitions, and I performed in it in front of some 400 people (mostly parents of the students in the class). I played an old Hindi song, "Jeena Yahan", on a huge synthesizer... It was a big moment for me, the first time I was ever going to perform on the stage with a keyboard and that too on a synthesizer? I mean what I have got at my home is a very very small one. (half the size of what I had to play to be precise). But as I said, I did perform and it went well.... (Except for the starting music, where I was so tense that I pressed one button too lightly that no sound came out...).

In between, I went to a friend of mine and bought home a book from him, 'The Amulet of Summerkand' written by 'Jonathan Straud' (hope the spellings of the names are correct, I don't have the book with me right now). And I have been able to read only the first 60 pages of it... Had been very stressful week....

Apart from that, my laptop was behaving strange (again), so I took it to the service station, and they said that we (HP) provide support only if the laptop behaves strange on Windows XP, and not on OpenSuSE 10.2 (which I was and still am using)... So I had to install XP, and guess what, everything was OK. So I came home.

But having had enough experiences with XP, I reinstalled SuSE, but, in the midway, my father spoke with me and I dunno why, but I reinstalled XP, and was going to install Ubuntu on a pen-drive and use it with XP.... I did that in a single day.... 3 OSs installed in a day.... It was bad....

And after proudly (???) using XP for a week, I have switched back to SuSE (:-)) yesterday... And I am lovin' it...

What else?... Yeah, I also have been trying to expand my skills (Whatever I have) in C and learn C++. (We have a subject C++ in this semester for exams). And am thinking of joining the 2 games that I have so far created Tic Tac Toe and Bulls & Cows and present it as the project for the subject....

So, even if these are holidays, I have been nothing but busy... I mean I sleep around 1am or 2am and wake up at 7am... Then sometimes I sleep during the afternoon, but my friends drag me out of the home to play with them.... It's so tiring.... I just want a break... A big break from this stressed life....
