Its 5:15 AM.

For those of you who might think that I am an early riser, I state categorically that I haven't slept till now. This is what I do usually. Sleep at weird times, get to classes somehow, only to be warned about low attendances, and keep up all night doing nothing at all.

This night, I feel is somewhat different. I have a mock interview tomorrow. Its not something where I, or for that matter the interviewer gets mocked. I'd better phrase it as a practice interview. The reason being IIM calls. I am happy.

I love interviews. I love it more when I screw one up and still emerge victorious, if I can use the word. Why, only the last month, when I screwed up one royally, I got hired. Yes, it was a job interview, I messed it all up, and the guys hired me. General Motors, for your information. I am doubly happy.

Anyway, some guy said change is the only constant. I think it is boolean. And not so much of a constant after all. Some wise guy in charge of programming my life had a weird idea. He said - "Let me screw this guy over" and put

boolean const change=0;

in my file. That was quite shitty. However, someone turned this 0 to 1. I am more happy.

But again, errors creep up in code. Always. And since Murphy was correct, there isn't someone qualified enough to correct them. This boolean thingy doesn't work too well in me. I thought I had the ability to change after all. So when I saw all my friends trying to exercise, jog, gym it out, play squash and what not, I, feeling blissfully aware of that new value of the constant thingy, decided to run to burn up the cals.

# run Giddu
segmentation fault

#

I am like, what the fuck is that. Fuzzy boolean variables! Like boolean change=0.341276 or some shit like that... I saw no change in this part of my code. The mind wanted to run, the body showed it the finger. Two segments. One fault.

Well, fuck Murphy. If there's something Murphy's law doesn't apply to, it is Murphy's law itself. One thing does come to mind though. Probably this variable wasn't global. It is, you know, defined differently for different parts of the code. I don't know. I don't know my programming language too well.
