Alt-R for reading

Reading Microsoft Word documents is always awkward. It is more convenient to take a print out and read the document. For some reason reading .pdf files isn't so irritating. .pdf documents are "cleaner" and resemble paper documents more closely. Now MS has added a feature to Word in Word 2003 that makes it easier to read Word documents on screen. This feature appears in the toolbar as a pushbutton labeled "Read" (keyboard short-cut "Alt-R") . On clicking "Read" Word reformats the document so that it is easier to read it on the screen. The reformated document is
"cleaner" like a .pdf file. I liked this feature and use it almost every day.

Nice Time

Yesterday was a nice evening. Although I reached home later from work, at 9 p.m., I did a lot things that I don't usually get time to do. I had my dinner, lot of talk with Poornima, chatted on phone with family, went for a evening walk, read both the newspapers (Indian Express and Business Standard), taught Poornima how to do meditation, and shaved for today. I finally went to bed at 12:30 a.m. Today I was up in the morning on time at 6 a.m. That gave me time to do some jogging, few suryanamaskars and some time for meditation. I reached office at 8:30 a.m., swiched on the lights on the floor and got down to work.

About my new car

I got delivery of my car on Friday night. I have already driven more than two hundred kilometers in the first four days. It is running good and I am enjoying driving it. I have taken some snaps of the car, which I can upload here, but I haven't yet copied them on to my laptop.

On the very first day I brought the car to office, some scratched the car. A more than five feet long scratch running from the front of the front wheel to the rear wheel is faintly visible on the right side. :-(

Waiting for new car

I am eagerly awaiting possession of my new car. I hope I get it tomorrow.

Back

Well, well, well ... I am back after a long long time. It's almost six months since I blogged! So much has changed in this time. I changed my job for the first time in my life! I moved out of Bangalore and into Pune. Me and Poornima are staying together alone. So many things have changed in this time. Changing job was a period of confusion. Even now I sometimes dream (in sleep, not day-dream) that I am repenting quit a good company. I think, but I am not sure, that I did the right thing in quiting my previous job. The question is whether it is right place that I have landed into. Let's see how things turn out. As of now things are okay. They would get even better tomorrow when I book Getz!
