Today's interviews finished much before time and I was back at home for lunch. Java aspirants outnumbered PL/SQL guys by scores and even the ones I interviewed were below average. I spent more time waiting for someone to turn up at my room than interviewing them but The Bell Jar gave me enough company. It was a surreal feeling sitting in that glass room trying to figure out Sylvia Plath's lines with nobody to disturb me, except for some drilling nearby...I guess I hadn't had such reading time since the days of early youth.
There was a kidnapping of a small boy very near to our house last week. Details are slowly emerging but not the leads to the culprit. The neighbourhood(4 schools and a children's play park in the radius of 100 meters) is struggling to come out of the shock and there is a whole lot of caution while sending the children out to play, even to the basement. The usually crowded skating rink is also empty these days and I wonder if that is linked too.
After I complained about its absence, winter appeared for about 40 days and now summer has reared its head. Some trees are bursting with flowers already and walking to the office watching them is the only time I wish I had a decent camera on my phone. At least for now.
This is one tip I want to pass down to the next generation - Onion juice - a teaspoon full with little jaggery is the best medicine for children's cough. It works for older people too but I'd rather eat the onion itself instead of taking the trouble to grate it.
