Waiting for JIRA server to start

I reached office quite early today, I think I was the first one to enter the floor. Its been 1 hour since I came and now people have started coming. It's winter time now and today I am wearing sweater for the first time. For the past 3 weeks I am working on a task where I need to migrate around 7 projects from older version of JIRA to a new version. It is not really a difficult task but setting up mulitple servers and testing the Project Import takes lot of time, earlier I was setting up servers on my Laptop and my Desktop but these machines were not good enough. I encountered low memory errors most of the time. I finally got access to a Virtual Machine last week and since then things are smooth. Right now the server is almost ready for UAT and I hope if the test passes then I will do the actual Project Migration on production server.

I am grateful that my current job offers me new challenging things where I get to work on new technologies and it has really widen the scope of my skill set. Frankly speaking I still feel like a freshers and I really like to learn new stuff everyday. Even though I have more than 9 years of experience!! Can't believe its been so long.

Lunch at Indi joe

Today we went to Indi joe for lunch. Rishi and Sudharshan took me and all the interns who worked on the PMTool. It was their last day in office today, their internship ended today. It was a nice outing. We all left the office at around 1 PM and reached Indi joe in 10 mins. It was a nice restaurant, though the music was a bit loud and we were not able to listen to others properly but the food was good. I had lots of butter chicken and biryani.

I don't experiment much with food when I see chicken :)

I am not feeling very nice today, I have been working with the 6 interns for the past 6 months and it was really a nice experience working with all of them. It is tough to see them go. I know that we may never see each other again, that's how life goes.

After college I have met many people in my professional career and it is true that you do get attached with the people you work. You may not like them or you may not like the way they work but still you start missing them when they are no longer working with you. I don't know why it happens but I guess it is human nature.

You can't hold on to everything in life, you have to let go things.
