Life in Apr 25 - June 12 : part 2

Yes, there is one more part. Primarily because i forgot to add things in the previous one. Yes, this one was more.

Trip to walmart store. The .com employees are given a chance to to a store tour where we get to see how a store actually operates, what different items are, how pricing is updated etc etc. An informative visit, we went to Mtn view store. The interesting part was the culture of the company, the walmart cheer, how they greet their managers, overall atmosphere. A very different experience, i did not liked all the things that i saw. But public negativity is not an option in the digital world :) But overall, thankful for the experience.

Watched a play - Wedding album. Directed by Lillete Dubey, written by Girish Karnad. It was an ok play, could have been a lot better. It has all the elements to be a monsoon-wedding level but in the end, it fails to tie all things together.

Bought a groupon for massage. Went for it last week and what a painful experience. I think (i am not sure as it was my first time), i got a deep tissue massage, but what it felt like somebody was punching me strongly with elbows. God, i hope its not that awful all the time.



Partially read books -
Myth of rational markets. Idea that markets are irrational, it goes on to a big rhetoric bashing against financial research people who assume that markets are rational. Got too boring after 100 pages.
Value investing for Dummies- With a new zeal to start investing, i decided to learn about a few terms. Got too boring after few scans.
The gay science : By Fredric Nietzsche. Too abstract and broad. Should give another attempt some time later.


Not so great at work front, not much done. But things are now moving in full flow, lots of stuff to be done.
