Today was spent in assessing the granularity of data requirements ;) Had to understand the processing of each metric.Did some basic analysis.Will be getting more data tomm.

One of the shittiest bus rides ive ever experienced was the last thursday.The stretch from my office to hostel is notorious for the innumerable painfully long traffic jams.I used to curse it but then i realised that i just had to walk down the road to catch my bus which would be struck in a jam!!!!!No pain no gain.......

But thursday was the worst.I got struck in a jam which was caused JLT.Was struck at the same place for an hr.After that another 15 minutes of ride and then got struck behind a procession.It was ambedkar jayanti.While it is good to celebrate such events,causing public nuisance in its name is uncalled for.Well.....Ive been told that it is a very important day in maharashtra.But the spirit in which the entire thing was celebrated and put me to severe inconvenience has left a bad taste in mhy mouth.....well......whatever

Had a fun-filled weekend.After sleeping through the entire saturday,i woke up at 5PM.We had a gettogether of all the interns in abidtya birla group in bombay.But disappiontingly,on a few turned up(thank god for that).While the black pepper cheese chicken took a long time to get served with the order seeming to have been forgotten,the wait was worth it.Reached my room at 1.Slept at 2:30-3ish.

The next day,i met up with my batchmates at borivali and we went to gorai beach(as u might not have guessed it,it is the ferry point to go to ESSEL WORLD
.The sun was beating down hard but nevertheless the ferryride was enjoyable.

Got ourselves a pass which would give us entry to the place thrice a year which is as cheap as it gets!!!!!!!WIll mention about a few experiences here.

The first ride was in something like a wheel in which two people sit a you are swirled around.It was totally fun getting in and out of that thing.And then i decided that it was time for some three dimensional spatial disorientation.

The highlight of the day was thunder.a huge BAAP of columbus that takes you 360degrees almost 6 times .The wait in the queue was the most psyching out part of it.And the first minute of the ride turned me to concrete.And then,the entire thing changed.Seeing the sun and the sky alternately with a gap of two seconds,enclosed in a machine that was hurtling as fast as it could,bound only by the axle(this is sounding like poetry !!!!) was an enthralling experience.Came out totally excited.

Then we went for ice skating.Being a guy who has never done skating on wheels,this was a funny experience for me,trying to walk.Was wondering about my first steps!!!!!After hitting the rink ground hard coupla times,i started to get a feel of it.And it sure was fun.But the ground was not even which further compunded my woes.And the best part was when i asked the instructor,"How do we stop?",he says,"Well that requires a lot of practise" and zoomed away,leaving me to fend myself.Made sure i bumped into coupla friends who were kinda doin it right.

And then went for a game of bowling.Managed to score 156.Decent score since i am playing after a year and a half.After that was another scintillating ride that takes u vertically up and down.But it moved in one direction at almost a constant speed.No acceleration/decelration.So it wasnt so scary.Sat again for coupla times.Got bored.came out.And then it started happening.I started feeling dazed and couldnt feel my steps.Got over it soon.Will post the pics.

Lying down on the bed in my room,i felt strange visceral sensations making me feel as if i was swoshing around like in those rides.All in all a good weekend.
