Weird me

HHG has tagged me to reveal 7 weird things about me and to further tag seven people to continue the tag ,Here goes! Ok this one extremely peculiar trait that I’ve noticed about myself. Manager gives me an issue to debug at work I pour and pour over documents , analysis files yadda yadda and something strikes.. this is the issue the brain says.. yes RM this is it.. and then I stop right there and go for a cup of coffee OR I go home , i.e I don't continue to check if the solution is right in which case I should’ve rejoiced nor do I prod along to see if I’m wrong , in which case I must’nt be going home.

Happy Diwali..!

Here's wishing a very happy and a prosperous Diwali to everybody :)May every one of your whim /fancy/crazy idea/most bizarre thought come true !Leaving you off with a favorite poem of mine(one of the very few I've read) Lead, kindly Light, amid th’encircling gloom, lead Thou me on!The night is dark, and I am far from home; lead Thou me on!Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to seeThe distant scene; one step enough for me.
