Days of langour

My days at the library seem to stretch into infinity either way. I havent been allocated yet. Suddenly there seems to be a dearth of openings for guys with 3+ years solid C++/Unix/Team Lead experience. I have started developing mixed feeling about the entire episode. There are feelings of professional inadequacy with an artificial sense of relaxation. One good thing though is the quality of books at the TCS Deccanpark Library, which seems to have hit the roof lately. There are enough books to suit the entire spectrum of literary palate. Yesterday I spent an hour reading the aptly named One Minute Manager. Spencer Johnson(Who moved my cheese fame) condenses successful management into three dictums.
One Minute Goals
One Minute Praises
One Minute Reprimands
Truly, the book makes sense, and yes I am speaking in light of my past experiences with a large and varied team.
Another book I started on, and am thoroughly enjoying reading, is a lost and recovered lecture by Richard Feynman on the motion of planets. The book begins with an introduction to the entire debate on the motion of planets, proceeds with a brief biographical sketch of Feynman and goes on to narrate how Feynman explained Newton's fabled theory with his own reasoning and nothing more than geometry. If you are one who enjoyed high school physics, then this book is definitely a must read.
(READERS - More book reviews coming your way. Suggest some good ones, if possible.)

Hey gaga,
Blogging is great, especially if you have time to pen down your thoughts. As for me I have all the time in the world. :-)
