Human's are curious. Only curious minds could give birth to questions. Every question might have some answer, a few might led us a long way. Talking about me, for a few, I'm a tubelight in general, less curious of course. Hmm.. Baby.. I'm born this way (Credits: Lady Gaga).
Programmers often get challenged by new priorities. Doubts are no strangers, curiosity is like blood pressure, and we live with the ghosts. Once I've got stuck in the middle of no where. Forums come handy in these situations. I've a not very bad number as reputation in my name.
Last day, before leaving home, I've left a question in the forum, but was left unanswered, Aah..(gasp) They were helpless too. For a moment, it was a rush to drupal group in webchat. I've been there for a couple of times. I've thought it to be a very serious chat, but has a funny space too.
I'll share one such experience I've met with. Few might find far too little success in getting answered, what exactly happened with a lady who've dropped her question a few minutes back. I had only my sympathy for her. Next chat line gave me a ginormous laugh.
She wrote: "I've boobs, so answer it".
Oh my gosh.. She must be one funny bipolar. Soon it was a rush of smiley's to the dead chat window. I've left the chat with a smiley way to commitments.
It was my turn, I've my question inserted, waiting for responses. No matter what, I get answered every time. It was JORDILA this time, I couldn't make any guess of persons gender from the name, forcing me to assume a guy (blush). The answer was quiet a surprise, it was one of those zyxware articles. Ha.. Finally things
are working out for zyxware. I was exited to share that I'm employed at zyxware.
He was curious about where I'm bred?? An obvious question. He was born in Barcelona and bred in Argentina, I was curious !!!!
Once he've travelled to India and is in mad love with our country. He continued...
He would love travelling to India. I've no idea what is he in love with, is it the f***ing caste system, never ending obsession for white skin, corruption, the so called cricket god or his game. What is it man??? Everyone likes aquarium, but only the fishes inside know how horrible their lives are ...
He has asked me whether we are hiring or not??? My reply was the zyxware career page. He was desperate to know whether we're planning to open new offices other than in Australia and US. By the moment, I wasn't feeling comfortable with his blabbering. I've replied, we are planning one in middle-east, but are still in papers.
Next question was the same exact. Hmm I know exactly what you
meant. He might wanted to know whether we've any plans to open an office at Argentina. I've replied, I have no idea..
I've told him about the PHP developer oppurtunity. And It was a total disaster.
I was flushed with questions.. Shussh... I was committed to explain the hiring process. Although I've explained every step in hiring process, I felt he was rather exited about face to face interview.
He asked: in kerala??
I've told, Yes... I guess. He expressed his concern on not being a programming bud. I've backed him and asked him to be strong. Some times its good to say nice things to someone feeling low.
Next comes the numbers, he wanted to know the current statistics. Commited replier, me replied, we are 70 or about employee community. Before leaving we've exchanged wishes.
It was quite an experience.. I don't know what happened to his plans about zyxware. I assume time is no far, when we have whites and blacks in zyxware's employees list. Excuse my racist comment, But I can't help with it.
I'm doing good with my life.. making friends, having fun, stand out for my people, throwing tantrums, and most importantly a plenty of family time. Well said Robert Frost, Miles to go before I sleep, Miles to go before I sleep.
Dedication : I dedicate this to the person inspired me, who exactly know who it is.
Loved it. xpcting more :)
