Went to Pradeep Sir’s House Today

Tomorrow is April 1st (April Fools Day) and Maundy Thursday. So most of my co workers won’t either come or be late to work after going to church. Now is the fun fact - Accel needs to be open at 7:30 am. And those dudes having the keys won’t come up at that time because they have to go to church - this was discovered by our center manager - Bejoy Sir at approx 7:30 pm when almost everybody has left the office. So as we were shutting down the computers and leaving, he looked at he and told me - “Binil, Come at 7:30 am sharp..because you have the key..”
I could only stare at him - thinking of the fact that I will be missing my morning sleep. Thats unthinkable. So thought of the next best thing - to give my key to either Pramada madam or Pradeep sir.. Again pause - thinking - I don’t have a clue where Pramada madam lives - even if I knew where she lives, I am not sure if I would like to go to a woman co-worker’s house at night.. So I went to Pradeep sir’s house which is only about 10 min of racing with my bike through Thrissur traffic. I haven’t been to his house for about an year - so I went there - met teacher (Pradeep sir’s wife) and their little daughter Aparna (Sreekutty) - who is very chatty. I had some payasam, chips, mixture etc before I returned home. The only thing I forgot is to take their photo - which could have added to my collection..

Looking for CCNP books

I am looking for some books for CCNP. I am not looking for the old syllabus but at the new updated ones:

1. 642-902 ROUTE - Implementing Cisco IP Routing
2. 642-813 SWITCH - Implementing Cisco IP Switched Networks
3. 642-832 TSHOOT - Troubleshooting and Maintaining Cisco IP Networks

At the moment I haven’t found any one who sell textbooks regarding to these topics in Thrissur - my home town. I am not sure about buying directly from Cisco - it might cost too much.

Some great advice from a wise man

Yesterday I had a log chat with one of friend’s dad over the phone. He had a lot of things to say to me. I haven’t seen him or talked with him for a long time - not since his son’s (my friend Anil) marriage.

His father talked about his life and his marriage issues. Well I need all the advice I could get - cause soon I will be married. As I always say - just need to find the girl of my dreams.

Skin iD - The one?

Neutrogena, the American brand power which produces facial, hair & skin care products has a new product - Skin iD -which offers personalized acne treatment based on your skin.

They (Neutrogena) have Hayden Panettiere promoting Skin iD. Yep, she is a cutie. But don’t just buy it because it has the popular Heroes cheerleader in it. Read a skin id review or two before you invest your money in it. 40 dollars isn’t a lot of money but still look before you leap.

A lot of Exams

In the last 2 days (including today) in Accel IT Academy, we have conducted a lot of Microsoft Exams - many students have written exams. But only very few of my students appeared for exam. So my boss Bejoy sir is a bit unhappy with me. I do want my students to write the Microsoft Exams, but I didn’t get any time to prepare them for exams. So I wasn’t comfortable with my students writing the exam. Also I was giving them some special classes for them in CCNA. I didn’t want them to miss those classes.
