Been a busy week and weekend

Had a busy week attending a few training sessions, as well as (trying to) study for some technical certifications. When most of India had probably just gone to sleep in the morning hours of Sunday after wild celebrations for India's cricket World Cup win, I reported for the certification exam, took the 4-hour exam, and passed it.

A good thing is that I have a holiday today (Monday). That gives me some time to catch up on some reading, writing (er, typing) and preparing for the other exams.

There was some stress as well when on the morning of the exam I discovered that I had lost my cell phone - not that it contained anything important, and I had a recent backup of my contacts, but then getting the SIM card blocked, getting a replacement, and lodging a police complaint using the IMEI number (important since the phone might be misused) were the activities I had lined up for after the exam. Fortunately, a call on the phone revealed that some good samaritan had not only found it, but also readily agreed to part with it. That saved me some headache.
