Day of Heroes

Yesterday was fun. I got up only to see brutal rains slashing down. It seemed more like a cloudburst. And with high tide coming in picture, Mumbai was under water yet again. The unending woes of traffic jams and delayed train/plane schedules added to the agony. The weather forecast was "incessant rain for next 24 hours along with strong gusty winds". So obviously, it had to stop raining. Everything was back to normal by afternoon.

After seeing the havocs rains had created over the last few years, I took a wise decision of working from home. Its always difficult to WFH in such a scenario, especially when just a day before I had got hands on Heroes season 2. So mission of the day was witnessing Sylar's comeback. It was quite entertaining, but not as much fun as the first part. I guess they had to cut down part of season 2 because of writer's strike. After all, it couldn't have been of just 11 episodes.

Today, in office, we were discussing about the superpowers a person can have. To name a few:
1) Someone who can see HEX code besides a color.
2) Someone who can manipulate reality the way we can do in paintbrush (cropping, rubbing out the colors etc.) Note I am not saying photoshop. We can't use it remember???
3) Someone who can be used as wifi router. With him holding the LAN cable, the whole room becomes wi-fi enabled.
4) Someone who can understand the code just by looking at it.

The last one being the most useful one. Today I spent so much time in figuring out why I wrote a piece of code about a month back. Having a code interpreter will be so handy man. For the sake of simplicity, lets call him CI.
Me: I can't seem to remember why I flipped the order of name and description of only Exchange.
CI: (After a quick glance at the code) Thats because GUI doesn't understand ExchangeDesc you fool. It expects ExchangeName.

Wish life was that easy!
