Youtube daily report Jul 22 2017

Greetings fellow nerds.

In a previous video i made a potassium chlorate cell to make potassium chlorate from potassium chloride water and electricity.

It is now 40 days later and we're going to harvest our yield of potassium chlorate.

So here is the cell.

Current is still flowing and the voltage hasn't risen significantly.

So our electrodes are likely still good and there hasn't been too much damage to the clips.

Let me open it up.

There is some spray out and condensation in the bottom but that's minor.

There is some salt creep and corrosion around the electrodes, but that's to be expected.

Electrolysis is still proceeding vigorously.

Okay let me turn that off and get the electrodes out.

On a side note you can see the potassium chlorate crystals crystallizing on the anode itself.

This is something you want to avoid as this blocks the solution from reacting with the anode.

In my cell this was unavoidable since the electrodes were as big as my container.

But if you can, generally keep your electrodes off the bottom of the cell so they're not covered by precipitating potassium chlorate.

Anyway, here is the cell with the electrodes removed.

And we have a beautiful crop of large potassium chlorate crystals.

So now we decant off most of the solution.

And finally, we filter the crystals and air dry them.

Now let's take a look at the supernatant.

There is a slight greenish tint indicating the presence of unreacted potassium hypochlorite.

You can see the color slightly better in this earlier video.

Anyway, if you intend to make more potassium chlorate right away

then you can simply pour this supernatant back into the cell,

check the density, top up potassium chloride and keep going.

Since this solution is already full of potassium hypochlorite and chlorates

you'll have a head start in potassium chlorate production.

If on the other hand you don't intend to restart production soon

or if you actually want to discard the solution and stop completely.

You may want to convert the last bit of potassium hypochlorite to potassium chlorate and squeeze out a tiny bit more yield.

To do this simply heat up the solution until it starts boiling.

As it boils the potassium hypochlorite will disproportionate into potassium chlorate.

Now the reaction actually works best if you control the pH to 6.7 but high temperatures will suffice.

In advanced chlorate cells the solution is kept hot while it's running to produce potassium chlorate continuously.

But boiling temperatures would actually damage the electrodes in addition to wasting power.

In that case pH control is absolutely necessary so less damaging temperatures can be used while still being hot enough to convert the hypochlorite.

Okay, once the solution is at a good rolling boil, turn off the heating and let it cool.

Small crystals of potassium chlorate will precipitate out.

And there it is, a small extra amount of potassium chlorate.

It's not a huge amount so doing this treatment to maximize yield is optional.

I'll let you decide if you want to do it or not.

Now at this point i am going to store my depleted solution for future runs of potassium chlorate.

This solution still has potassium chloride and is saturated with potassium chlorate so i might as well keep it.

I find empty bleach bottles best for storage since they are designed to hold exactly this sort of highly corrosive oxidizing alkali.

And there we have it, potassium chlorate.

Our recovered yield was 705g after 40 days at 2 amps.

Under theoretically ideal conditions for the same amount of time and current we should have 1463g of potassium chlorate.

So our yield was 48% of maximum.

While it is a bit a low i'm still very pleased because the actual cost of that much electricity was about $2.

Spending $2 to convert 705g of chemicals is a bargain even at 48% efficiency.

If i had perfect efficiency my electricity cost would have been $1.

As you can see spending hundreds of dollars to make a highly efficient cell isn't justified unless you're making potassium chlorate in hundred kilogram quantities.

Anyway, at this point you can save these crystals as is and use them for your experiments.

They are however somewhat large.

If you prefer a fine powder you'll have to grind these up.

Alternatively we can recrystallize them and get smaller purer crystals that way.

Transfer the crystals to large beaker or flask and add water.

I'm using some of the water to wash out my beakers and funnels to get maximum transfer.

The ratio is about 100mL of water for every 60g of potassium chlorate.

So i'm using a total of 1.2 liters of water.

Now simply heat it up until it completely dissolves.

This dissolving has the added effect of releasing any entrapped impurities like potassium chloride.

So when we recrystallize we'll have a somewhat purer product.

Okay everything is dissolved. Now we turn off the heating and let it cool.

When things slowly crystallize, like in the chlorate cell, they tend to form large crystals.

But when they're forced to crystallize very quickly.

They tend to form very small crystals.

This gives us the basis for controlling crystal size.

For pyrotechnics and similar, smaller crystals are prefered for faster and more consistent reactions.

Okay it's cool. Let me filter it. And there we go.

A much finer product of potassium chlorate.

The supernatant is now saturated with potassium chlorate and released impurities like potassium chloride

so i recommend storing that too and using it in future potassium chlorate runs.

Anyway, here is the comparison of the potassium chlorate both before and after recrystallization.

As you can see, recrystallization has considerably reduced the crystal size.

To test it we mix it with about a one third equivalent by mass of sugar and set it on fire.

That intense burn confirms we have a powerful oxidizer.

And there you have it.

Took over a month, but with some simple parts you can buy off ebay, we made potassium chlorate by electrolysis of potassium chloride.

In a future video i'll build a more advanced cell that produces potassium chlorate at greater rates with even higher efficiency in a smaller space.

Thanks for watching.

South Korea's Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha has reaffirmed Seoul's two-track approach

of sanctions and dialogue on North Korea.

During a 20-minute phone conversation with her British counterpart Boris Johnson on Saturday,...

Minister Kang said Seoul will continue to work with the international community to pressure

Pyongyang through sanctions.

She said the ultimate goal is to change the regime's attitude and bring it back to the

negotiating table.

The two officials also agreed that South Korea and Britain's relations are developing into

a quasi-alliance level... and the two will continue trying to resolve the North Korea

issue.

Brickmania Giveaway Review - Duration: 1:55.

A few days ago a package from the USA arrived by me

it was my price from the Brickmania social media giveaway

If you want to know what I got and if I like it

wait until the intro

in it was the MARK V Brickarms pack

and the A7V weapons pack

actually these sets are made for building one of this tanks

Even I will not do this in the near future

I can use many of the very cool Brickarms items

for example good looking weapon boxes

or artillery shells. But also some weapons and machine guns.

In total two very awesome packs

and if I want to build the two tanks I am well supplied

additionally I got the hydraulic press

designed by Yitzy Kasowitz

the building kit consists of 63 Lego parts

and a coulored instruction

This one is extreamly well done but the assembly was a little bit tricky

especially the light sabers were a bit unstable

because of that the skill level is 3.

But in the end it was suprisingly steady and looked amazing.

the play feature works perfect with two rubber bands.

Overall this is a really nice model.

As a little extra I also received a magazine

which is really cool.

you notice that Brickmania has more experience then other custom shops.

Every single product is high quality and looks professional

So it is a really nice price and thanks again to Brickmania.

School DIDN'T teach me (#10): Got my ass kicked! - How a 'blind' man gets motivated? - Duration: 13:57.

MARIO! STOP! ITS ME! STOP! PIOTR!

<Mario is telling not too funny joke>

Priest says: :We gathered here today..." Someone from the crowd: "We gathered here today..."

Prest: "Hey, you with bulging eyes - STOP!"

The frog answers: "Did you hear that Crocodile?!"

RIGHT! You watched my video where I talked about motivation

You questioned me when in this video I mentioned that 'gratefulness' is a key to motivation in my opinion

(In the very moment when you consciously understand how much you already have...)

(... you wake up in the morning, you open your eyes, you can see, you can hear, you can breath)

now... what if you wake up in the morning and life doesn't seem to be that "amazing"?

In your case -' you can't see'

I thought that you are the best person to ask this question...

How would you call your lack of vision issue?

What names would doctors give you?

Disable, unable, blind

"A HORSE IS BLIND! AND YOUR MOTHER!"

When someone calls me this names on the street, that's how I always answer :)

Quick story: Recently, after a training at the gym

I did biceps and my back because they will NOT work out themselves :)

After I finished and I was just about to leave the building

I approach the staircase and suddenly some woman jumps out of nowhere and calls: "STOP! STOP!"

I ask: "WHAT HAPPENED?!"

She says: "STAIRCASE!"

So I answer: "OK, OK, I know..." and I show here the staircase with my walking stick

But she doesn't really care, she grabs my hand and tries to take me down the staircase so I do not fall

My thought after that was that people do not really help me with this

So people do not really help you doing that?

Exactly. Here's the key

I talk now generally about disabled people

Why so many people are more disabled that they really are?

Because they are perceived as disabled!

If they were given more opportunities to make mistakes, fall a bit more often

and if people stopped talking: You're blind, he's blind...

If someone tells you 100 times that you are blind, then no matter what - you start to believe in it!

You are NOT blind. You are heedless - as one of my colleagues would say

Noone is blind - You're simply distracted

You just need to listen to the environment, use different senses

But unfortunately... The society is putting you down - constantly.

There was a time you actually saw, right?

Yeah, my parents noticed that something is not quite right when I was... maybe 4 years old

When I couldn't see some details etc.

Apparently, at that time I already didn't see some small things, details.

I am interested in this particular thing...

Wasn't it shocking for you when you lost your sight?

I understand when a person is born blind

But what happens when you actually saw and then you suddenly loose it.

You loose the thing which most of the people on the planet take for granted - they just have it

Well... First of all, there is a lot of frustration

Especially when you walk into something, you hit yourself, fall...

When you do mistake and for example put your hand where it should not land

It definitely has huge impact on the person's mind. For sure.

I see... That's what I was thinking, it must not be easy... But I just cannot imagine it myself

Well... most of the activities, things you do are difficult, especially in todays world

Our world today is very visual.

It is sometimes difficult to speak to someone.

When someone tries to explain you something the use words: "Here, there, like this"

Everyone is showing instead of explaining

Even when they speak, they still show: 'Like this' , 'this way'

Damn it, I have never thought about it THIS way...

See, for a person like me, it is an empty information

Have you ever thought that you miss your sight or maybe you're jealous?

Not really. Lack of sight opened different doors for me

Ooo, that's interesting.What do you mean by this?

The simplest example: Meeting another person

Usually, people unconsciously judge newly met people straight away

You look at someone and first things you notice is what the person looks like

You look at their color of skin, what clothes does he or he wear

You notice if such person is clean or dirty, lacks one tooth, is bold etc.

You look and in one second you already have an opinion of the person!

Damn, true story!

In my case, for example, I may judge someone by their scent

I am sometimes fooled by the scents for example

But it doesn't happen that often. People usually have natural smell... until people gets a shower, everything is fine :)

So basically you are not able to judge someone by their looks.

When I meet someone, I automatically 'FEEL' the person

I 'see' what and how the person talks to me

whats the tone of their voice, what's their energy...

For example a person may be repulsive for everyone and I will make friends with them

Or on the other hand a person may be super 'cool', good looking, smelling nicely and be popular...

... and I will not have connection with such person

Do you ever ask questions such as:

"Why did it happen to me?"

Maybe in the past, many times.

How about now?

Now no. First of all, I have never blamed God or my parents or the world or anyone for that

I thought I must be extraordinary if I have the condition I have

More and more often I treat it as a Blessing

Ahh... Exactly! I think the same way. When something like this happens in your life you either sit on your ass and complain...

...or you take it as a blessing and you use it to your advantage.

Thell me what do you do. I know that 'sitting idle' is the last thing you could do

I have hidden or maybe even not hidden ADHD

There has always been something in me that prevented me from being still and idle

Even when I used to be at school, when they forced me to sit behind that bench...

... the teacher used to constantly ask me to stop moving, stop fiddling.

Apart from doing Capoeira, what else occupies your time?

I train other martial arts

<as we all could see at the beginning of this video>

I swim - probably a habit from my childhood

I know you also do gymnastics.

I also think that Music can be also added

Thanks to you I play the drums, its also very kinetic

OK! LAST QUESTION

I want YOU to answer your own question which you asked me after watching my video about Motivation

What is it like you wake up in the morning and life may not look that brilliantly - in your case, you cannot see

Where is your motivation coming from when you wake up in the morning?

I understand there are days when you cannot be bothered - everyone has those days

But usually: What motivates you every day?

One day, I talked to my psychotherapist - there was a time I really needed psychotherapist's help

He told me that its possible that I do all those things because...

I have vision issues and that's what motivates me - my handicap

Because I cannot see, I tell to myself: I am still fuckin' gonna do it even though I cannot see.

Like agains fate?

Yes, against all of this destiny.

- "You cant see - Sit on a couch, play an audiobook..."

"... order a pizza so they can DELIVER it to you"

Yes, you could live like this

But you do not have to?

Well, I wouldn't stand it, it would kill me.

Once upon a time I went on a certain course where I had to sit and learn

This is not for me. Maybe that's why I am a manual therapist today - there is loads of movement involved

I just cannot sit and do nothing.

Imagine if ALL people in the world were blind?

Noone would complain. It would be just normal.

Maybe even it is like this in reality? The only difference is that I walk into people and they do not walk into me?

I see myself as normal. Its just sometimes I step into dogs poo :)

Some say that "Bland cannot see shit"

There are moments I get frustrated, especially in the city...

...where there is constant fight for money and a customer

everyone aggressively advertise their business, put obstacles on a pavement

and its sometimes challenging to walk through this city jungle.

But you know, when I have a better day, I treat it as a training ground

And this is it!

You said such important thing...

In my case for example, I like this kind of grinding.

I like this concept when life get challenging and I understand it got challenging.

I also understand it is an opportunity for me to grow physically and mentally.

I understand that you have the same.

From the city jungle and chaos I created my own training ground

Since I said "No, thank you" for the last guide's dog which was always pulling my ass this and that way around the city

and I found a book about echolocation, and when I read this book and I understood how to train it...

...then all of those obstacles became my friends

Does it actually work?

Yes, but there is a lot of practice involved

I actually remember that book, you played it to me once

For example, now when I approach a parked car, I still hit it with my stick but only because I want the drivers to start parking in the right places :)

Now I am able to hear a parked car, a tree, a bin, a bus stop

Its like I walk and I can here them talking to me: I am here

It is the reflected sounds I make which tell me about the positions of the obstacles

Its an active echolocation

Everything depends on us how we see things

There was a time I was getting furious when walking into all those obstacles

I was cursing and swearing like crazy

It was actually one of the reasons I needed help of a psychotherapist

I was so angry and I didn't know how to deal with it

The problem was that I was concentrated on this anger.

I did not understand that those obstacles are just to help me to train!

SO YOU CAN! Human can became a bat if he wants to!

<Some guy aproached asking for bathrooms... KEEP WATCHING>

Look at this... A 'blind' man is explaining how to find bathrooms...

In my opinion, feeling pity for someone only show that you feel that you're better.

People say: "I feel sorry for you"

"You feel sorry? Do you think you're fucking better than me?"

"Oh, but the are things you cannot do"

"Yes, but there are also things which I can do and you cannot"

Man, that was awesome! Thanks a lot!

Do you think you can text quickly? Look at that...

What did you type?

"What time do we meet?"

Once Upon a Time in HITEC CITY | Telugu Short Film 2017 | Directed by Seshu Innamuri #NewShortFilms - Duration: 31:31.

25 years in a cubicle.

Seems like yesterday but a very long time.

If you only consider the time that I actually sat there..

even that might come to around 10 years.

I joined in the Pune branch during the Y2K crisis.

Anyway, this is not about me.

The stories you are about to see,

they're about a few people from my office

who left or had to leave due to various reasons.

Sometimes I wonder

I too should have.

Surya, change the song dear

Sorry sir

Uday, did you see my charts somewhere

It's getting late Bindu

The people at the bank will just gossip if I am not there.

Also, customers might be waiting for me.

I am done. Let's go.

Ohů My bagů One minute

Ok, let's go

HuhůI forgot to pack the lunch

oh..common. We can eat out for today

No, the cooking will go waste.

You freshen up. I will be back in a moment.

What the hell, Bindu

hello, girl, that's not a makeup mirror

Really

You have a mirror in your handbag...

why don't you use that one!

I like this one better.

Ok..bye

Is this the way to say goodbye...

what've you learnt watching all those english movies?

We have to go shopping for curtains in the evening, remember?

bye

Very good Tom, Nice to hear that, what else?

Hari

I will send the documents at the end of the day

Please review those

I will call you back in one hour

ok..bye

What's it Sagar?

I am not feeling alright today, I am going to take sick leave

Haven't you exhausted your sick leaves quota, dear?

I will take a vacation leave then!

Vacation leave needs to be applied one week in advance

..else the upper management will not agree

What should I do then? I am not feeling well. What should I do?

Ask for a paracetamol from the reception desk and take it.

You will feel much better.

Huh..huh..You and your damn suggestions

What is it Sagar, you are saying?

You'll have it from me, soon

Did you check the database in the Lotus?

Hmmm... You should get it Tom!

Sagar is actually working on that..

He should done by now.

Who's Hari?

Tom, I will call you back.

Are you Hari, dear?

Yes, sir

You got cancer, dear

What?

It's a small cell carcinoma of lungs

It's spread to all organs

Cancer? No way. Why would I get that?

Do you smoke, dear?

No Sir. Never.

I think I tasted it once around 10 years ago.

That's it. That's the reason.

Ok Sir, what about the treatment?

It's stage 4 dear. There is no treatment.

But to improve your lifespan, you can opt for maintenance chemo

You can start the procedure from tommorrow

Lifespan means!!! Don't I have a lot of time left?

My guess is that it's a maximum of 3

3 years?

No dear, 3 months.

Hari dear, don't lose hope

By the grace of god, miracles happen all the time

Hi, Mr. Sharma

Hari, what's happening? Where are you?

What happened?

Tom called. He's really pissed off.

He says, you haven't delivered the documents he asked for.

What the heck is going on Hari?

Sagar worked on that. He should have delivered.

Wait... Let me find out.

Aren't you supposed to monitor that?

I don't know how but deliver by tommorrow morning.

Please wait.. I have something personal to discuss.

Asshole

Answer the phone, you idiot

Lakshmi!

Ha.. tell me

Are the kids asleep?

oh..yeah...long ago

Ok, I am still in office. I will be late.

Late? How long? 100 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,000 I can't say. But, wait for me. Need to talk to you.

About what? Did your mom complain again?

Wait.. I'll tell you

What about your dinner?

I'll have something here at office

Ok.. then

Ok..bye

Hi Tom, How are you? Sorry for the inconvenience!

I have sent you all the reports, please review.

Hi everyone, thank you for the farewell.

I am grateful to this organization and you all...

to make my stay memorable

I am sad to say goodbye...

but

I would like to spend with my family, all these 3 months

I would like to take this oppurtunity to thank all my managers....

We are so sorry to hear this, Hari

we'll be all missing you

I can understand your situation

But you know how strict the corporate policies are

Everybody has to server a 3 month notice period

No exceptions

If you don't

There can be some problems for you

The company can hold processing your provident fund and gratuity amounts

But, there isn't much i can...

moreover

Actually, the company has done so much for you

You should have the moral responsibility to return the favor

How can you resign without training your replacement?

Backup needs to be groomed...

Hi Tom

The account is made FINAL, finally

Hari

There's an IMS trainsing session scheduled from you. People are waiting.

I am coming, dear

ok

People say, he was coing a COBOL MOVE statement when he finally moved out of this world

Dude, she's alone. I see a chance.

You remember everything, right?

Just avoid speaking in english. You'll do fine.

Hmmm... very true

Hmmm... remove this

We, software engineers are looked down upon these days

Ok?

Huh...ok

Ok.. go now

Hello...madam

Ya?

I have lost my way here. Can you help me?

Where do you have to go?

Into your heart

Software engineer?

Yes, Madam

Please

I started testing. It should be done by tommorrow, Friday.

And I am also doing analysis...

It's ok Vikas

shit

screw it

Ok...guys. I have some very important news.

Tommorrow, 30 percent of the organization...

which is, like, 3 from our team

are going to get laidoff

Maybe, something to do with Donald Trump's policies

But, the reason I am informing you is that

I want to know if anybody has plans

...to leave the organization in the near future

So, anybody?

Ok..then

You guys can leave

And.. one more thing.

No discussion on the floor

Absolutely no discussion

Keep this a secret for me, till tommorrow. Ok.. thank you.

"30 percent of you are going to get laid off"

Trump dude, you are so great.

Ram, I need to speak to you.

Ok.. go ahead

Is my name featured in the list tomorrow?

You will know tommorrow.

No, I need to know it now, please

Ok then. I wouldn't have told if you were featured in the list. So, you are not.

Why is it sir? Why am I not included in the list?

What do mean 'why?'? What the heck are you talking about?

Why aren't you giving me a chance? How come?

Are you joking? I have a lot of work to do. You go and do yours.

Mr. Ram, please

Have you lost your mind, Surender?

Corporate has been very clear. Only the bottom 30 percent will be taken into account.

You are my one of the best developers of our team.

Why will I include your name in the list?

What kind of justice is this sir? You provide work to us and motivation to somebody else?

Why are you treating us like animals?

Do you have plans to resign here soon?

Why would I do that? I always stay till I am pushed out.

There ends the discussion.

Also, you were rated 5 in your last appraisal.

It's tough to convince upper managerment to include your name.

How can I send my best people away?

Chill.. Mr. Ram... Time for the confession.

I do nothing here all week. The real work is one on the weekends at home, with my cousin's help.

But....you...

Leave all that...Let me tell you the real truth.

I got in here with a fake work experience.

What?

I was jobless for 4 years after my graduation.

Surprising!!

Ok..then, I will use these to convince the upper manangement

ok

Ok..then

Ok sir, Thank you. I will get going.

I am taking leave for this 2nd half of the day.

I need to prepare for tommorrow. I will leave right away then.

Suri

Where are you headed, dude?

I am not in the mood to listen to your stupid suggestions now

Come, Let's go to the cafeteria and discuss.

No man

C'mon dude, it's important to discuss in the cafeteria

No man, leave me alone, I can take care of myself

In Bhagavad Gita, Ghatasala sir said

People going away are always good and those left behind are their sweet memories.

What's the occassion and what nonsense are you preaching. Stupid fellow.

This activity is very essential for the survival of the company.

If this activity is no performed, we might have to close shop permanantly

Now...you are on the track, dude

It shouldn't be a loss for everybody, right?

You should all take this positively

Ok, without wasting anytime, I will read out the list

Y. Neelima

WTF dude, Are they considering ladies as well?

Why not? Why should they be any different?

True man. Correct.

Next, it's going to be your name

It's a joke, chill man.

Next, M. Rajesh

Thank God

Stop your stupid jokes. Understand.

You can probably find another job easily with all your fake certificates.

It will be difficult for me if I lose this job.

WTF man, what do you mean losing job?

It's not a joke anymore, ok

What dude? You mean people are getting fired now?

What else then? Did you think they are distributing tamarind rice?

Dude!! But they said, we are going to get laid

It's not 'get laid', it's 'get laid off'

and finally...

K. Surender

No...........Mr. Ram

No sir, it was a mistake. I take back my request.

I don't want to go away, let me get back to work

Ram!

Mr. Ram. I am not agreeing to this injustice. I am not.

Hey, Surender's friend. Help out, dear.

Please sir... have mercy

Mr. Ram ..... Please

Hello madam, how are you?

Aren't you following me for the last 2 to 3 days?

So, you don't remember me, disappointing.

I am hurt.

Let me give you a hint.

3 months back ... in your previous company

When you resigned!!

I am the one who conducted your exit interview.

Techdynos?

That's right

Can we sit some place and talk!

What's it about?

What's this?

It's an offer you can't refuse.

Jai Santhoshi ma. I am Murali.

May you always have the blessings of Goddess Santhoshi ma.

All you have to do is make a hundred copies of this letter..

Surya!!!

sorry sir

It's an offer you can't refuse

You have to return to your old job.

Things haven't been going smoothly in your project after you left.

What?

You mean to say ... I mean ...

.... are you serious?

Ok.. Let's meet at office tomorrow.

Hello.... I am not interested

How can you reject this? We are offering you 3 times your previous salary.

Don't want your money. I never liked the job. That's the reason I resigned.

If you excuse me, I have to go. There's a class in progress.

Ghantasaala from Bhagavad Gita said...

"Virtuous people do not work for self but for the society"

Sir, All these quotes from Bhagavad Gita are not actually said by Ghantasaala.

Who's it then?

S.P Balasubramanyam

No, it was Ghantasaala

Are you ready for a bet Sir?

50 rupees

150 Hello!!

250

350

380 Excuse me!!!

450

Oků the CD is in the car. Let's go and. ů

Shut up

What's wrong with you people? Are you guys mad?

Anyway, I am not interested

You can leave now

Have you ever palyed cards? You can't just win some money and vanish.

You have to be ready to play again. Everybody has to win, right.

Is it?

Isn't your husband the branch manager of Kukatpally Syndicate bank?

Looks like he doesn't know you were once a software engineer ...

... before your marriage.

You should be honest in a marriage especially when it's arranged.

It's a pity that he still thinks you have always been a simple school teacher.

Don't know how he would take it when he knows the truth!

You can't do this to me

Ghantasaala also said

"anger takes your wisdom away. Wisdom takes away memory along with it."

"Memory takes away reasoning and with out reasoning, you are doomed"

It's just a 3 months project.

Nobody needs to know a thing.

You can return to your kindergarten kids.

My exit was legitimate. I am not liable to anyone.

The project kick-off meeting is at 11am tomorrow.

I hope you will be there...

... on time

Bindu! Bindu Darling!

Here you are!

Why are you sitting here? Isn't it time for your school?

Actually, there's a fancy dress competition at school

I will be going late. You can go.

Is everything alright? Are you not feeling well?

No, I am fine. You go.

Ok then. You take care.

Bye

Always remember the company's motto. At the end of the day ...

it's all about the leveraging the time ...

... and creting a synergy between the resources.

I want everyone to open your project documents...

Moving forward, corporate decided to have ...

... a paradigm shift with holistic approach.

You need to think out of the box

PUSH THE ENVOLOPE

Bindu

Bindu, are you ok?

I'll be back

Ok.. Let's also take a break

Hmmm... How did the competition go?

What competition?

That....

you said some thing about a fancy dress competition at school!

Oh.. that one, it was ok

So... Which dress won the first prize?

hmmm... I don't remember

How can you forget so soon?

Oh my god... I said I don't remember

I am sorry... I don't feel like talking now. Let's talk later.

What happened, Bindu?

It's nothing serious.

I forgot to tell you.

My school timings are changed from tomorrow.

You need not drop me off. I will go at a different time.

Ok. Great.

I don't have to be late everyday waiting for you.

Do you like to have a sweet?

No

I don't like this set up. It feels like being under a street light.

Can you switch on some lights?

When are you going today?

... to the school!!

Same... at around 11.

Sit here. Need to talk to you.

I saw you in Hitec City

Saw you going into Techdynos building.

Don't know how or why you doubted or guessed it!

But

It's true

I was a software engineer at Techdynos

I quit before marriage

I wanted to start a new life.

You can now stop your enquires about me.

The passion less work, pointless meetings,

useless outings, worthless trainings,

daily calls, timesheets, test plans,

reviews, RCAs, appraisals,

one-on-ones, deadlines, competition, on-sites,

It was all a bottom-less pit

A constant struggle every day, every hour, every minute

I couldn't fucking take it anymore

I couldn't

Please excuse my French

I am sorry Bindu

Please forgive me

Don't ask me to go back again.

Why aren't you coming again?

Do you think you are attending some women's puja everyday?

Are you expecting a special invite daily?

Not going to come anymore. What the F are you going to do?

I think I haven't made myself clear enough.

Ghantasaala once said

Even without virtues, others path ů

Tell your corporate to go fuck off
