the way i work…?

now that i think about it, most of my techie-know-how is`nt something that i`ve been spoon-fed with. i`ve had to work alone, mostly and work my way through all the doubts by reading and experimenting. also, im not that quick a learner, hence the low number of projects i`ve done.

the first time i came across a programming language, i simply was`nt interested. C++ seemed boring and of no practical use. that was back in 2006. i had a difficulty in constructing the simplest of loops or even printing out the fibonacci series. then, one fine day, i read about encryption and ciphers(maybe in a book; or was it a webpage? i really don`t remember where…).  i try to make a few basic encryption schemes by hand only to realize that making a code to automate it would be fun. so, i work my way through not just looping – but through most of the programming concepts like functions, file management and pointers, well before they were taught in class. `n this is XACTLY how i got hooked onto coding ;-) . after this i went on to graphics programming using c++; for no particular reason though.

Today, im familiar with java, C# and python. Again, the number of projects i`ve done using them are pretty low; i hope to set that right this year.

dress code… hmm…

well… my sense of style varies from time to time; depends on where i am and more importantly, my mood. i mostly go for tees and jeans as they are convenient(obviously); me sporting shirts is rare. i`m a “brand freak”, though not “brand-savvy”(there`s a tv ad which says ‘brand nahi to style nahi’ ; it simply makes me puke) …. i feel that people who go for brands just for the sake of it need remedial classes on uniqueness and personalizing. my favorite color`s blue followed by shades of white `n black(I LOVE GREY). green`s fine mostly; Denim jeans are among my favs……
