Nvm, when i disconnected out of the VPN to my workplace, the images loaded fine. Tried connecting to VPN again to test if the images would load this time, it didn't. Weird... It could be something specific with my VPN.

Into Thin Air - Jon Krakauer

If you like reading adventurous books, i'd recommend it. This one is about the Mt. Everest expedition of a group of people and the disaster that fell upon them.

You're Surely Joking Mr. Feynman - Richard Feynman

This one is collection of events in the life of Feynman. He's mostly known for being a scientist, but he's equally talented in few other areas as well. An interesting and fun book.

Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking - Malcolm Gladwell

Recommended if you are into psychology and knowing how our thoughts and actions are affected by our subconscious.

Man's Search for Meaning

Always know what 'DONE' looks like.

Reminding ourselves of what the done state of project looks like helps us stay on track, from developers to the leads.

A month before July 4th, i tried booking a camp site in Yosemite and got none. I should have known the camp sites gets completely booked 6-8 months ahead. When i called one of the camp sites, the automated machine replied -

press 1 to book for this year

press 2 to book for next year.

I'm interested to know more about the tools/techniques you used to scrap the sites and clean the results. I am working on scraping contents from a couple of sites and it seems to be a pain, probably because i don't have lot of experience around it.

Kathmandu does have some tech scene. Its nowhere near to neighbouring indian cities, but considering how small and underdeveloped the country is, i'd say its pretty good.

Thank you.

Wish you and your family a very Happy, Prosperous, Healthy and Peaceful Year 2017

Wow !! weekend of study and a great score in GRE. Any tips for someone like me who is trying to come up with a preparation plan ?

Trying to recall my memory - While reading the book, i could many times relate it to the problems i have been facing in life and my day to day work. Reading the book helped me pictures those things as a 'RESISTANCE'. I used to procastinate things for next day, i was reluctant to speak up and reach out to other co-workers. After reading the book i was able to convince myself that this was just a resistance and if i wanted to be happy and successful, i would have to overcome this resistance. I'm not saying i'm a completely changed person after reading the book, but it definitely had positive impacts in my life.

The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles

I read this book last year and it greatly motivated me to get things done, fight against procastination and overcome anxiety.

This is beautiful. Thank you !!
