Inspiration reality!

There was a programmer with PMS
Who to ease her stress was said “Code CSS!”
The harder she would try
The more she would cry…
And her pages always ended up in a mess!!

This limerick is inspired from real life that has been happening around me since past 2 weeks. Needless to add that I have been extremely busy, hassled and working hard.

But the real reason for this post is Aasim, he scored a whopping 91 out of 100 in his first ever written exam, the surprise he threw up was getting 25/25 in Marathi, he could have scored more had there not been deductions for his mirror image alphabets and numbers something which he does a lot if he is excited.

Also yesterday he pronounced DOOM 3 as boring after 30 min of play, his contention was that there is too much of a story to it for a good game. The current favorite continues to be UT2004

    Wow. Your son is becoming a g33k ! :p

    • 3l3t3!

        Language Translator Overflow…..BEEP !!! BEEP !!! BOOM !!!!

        Heh. Only children can do that…and actually have fun 🙂

  • Also yesterday he pronounced DOOM 3 as boring after 30 min of play

    made a similiar observation yesterday after about 30 frames of play… but the 30 frames probably took more than 30 mins to render on his machine! 😛

    • Your murder will not be a mystery 😉

      • Whoa !! Lucky guys. My laptop’s card won’t play DOOM 3 !! Pretty Slow. I think I will book my flight to nagpur. Does Deccan Airlines do Nagpur ?

        • Only Aasim’s machine is capable of running DOOM (and UT) so we cannot have multiplayer… no, Deccan still does not do Nagpur 🙁

  • alphabets => letters.

    and mirror writing could be an issue, but then again, it could just be a matter of getting the hang of it.

    • Tarique is a paediatrician 🙂 and has concuded that Aasim is nither dyslexic nor does he suffer from mirror agnosia. It is in the genes Tarique still does it if he is not paying attention -one of the prime reasons he stopped using a pen.

      • yeah, realised later. damn these paediatricians turned software guys! 😛

        • LOL! Well strictly speaking it is a very minor form dyslexia but nothing to be alarmed about.

          • I am nowhere near being a doctor or a psychologist or paediatrician, but, I do question everything, so here’s a question.

            Is dyslexia really a Bad Thing? Couldn’t it signal perhaps a ‘different’ form of brain activity. Sometimes it is the people who see the world differently who come up with the biggest break throughs. How long ago was it that surgeons would open up the skulls of patients to ‘let the demons out’ if they complained of headaches?

            • surgeons would open up the skulls of patients to ‘let the demons out’

              Yeah we rarely get to hear about those kind of break throughs these days! 😉

            • My take on it is – If dyslexia hampers day to day activities of an individual then it is a bad thing. Perhaps you are also mixing autism in this…

  • My heartiest congrats to Aasim! 🙂 mirror or no mirror i’m *very happy* to hear his results.
