Unplugged

  There is a void…sudden void…as if suddenly we r unplugged…the muscle memory, the dram memory, the cache automatically takes you to the laptop, the desk, the arena, the battle ground…that’s where you spent most of the last many months…that exact die area and power domain…that’s where so many things happened…every day, every hour and minute thinking of only one thing…the project, the closure, the tape out…every nerve net, every thought signal was on what all r the current problems and how to solve them..:convergence, congestion, timing, PV, going back, finding alternate solutions, discuss, debates, trials, runs, crashes, calls, meetings, many misses, like the edges with the new ball not carrying, when you put 128.4% into it…when we only talk about the project…any other talk is noise…when work outs, vacations, anything out of the project is a wide or a no ball…get back to the bowling crease and target the wickets…when even the spouse, kids talk of the timing and PV status…no idea wh...

PD is Sathavadhanam...

 Avadhanam is a Telugu prakriya...a form of literary art...the Avadhani will get queries or puzzles which are tricky, cryptic from say 8 or 100 or 1000 vruchhakas...the Avadhani needs to remember the sequence of all the queries and answer in a four liner padyam...one line at a time in the order of the questions...making sense to the query or puzzle, following all the literary rules of the padyam...it is a great art and I always admired the prakirya and Avadhanis. There will also be a group of participants who keep talking to the Avadhani on totally different topics, keep commenting and distracting...asandarBha prasangalu...the Avadhani needs to keep cool and complete his prakriya while keeping them engaged... With all due respect to the great art, PD is also a form of Avadhanam...satavadhanam...100 different things to be taken care of each popping up every day and new things popping up every other day right from fplan to clock to tran vios to timing to drc to...and then we need to ...

 Vikas bhai is always cheerful...havent seen him being dull or upset or tense any time...of course never seen him with his wife beside him too...I think the smiley in the lvs report is made after Vikas...V has a lot of connect...work, outside...so much more than the clock fanout itself...he brings in lots of good vibes all around...like that esd clamp cell...any zap on anyone around he puts down to ground and makes them cheerful...he has so much knowledge about everything...technology se current affairs thak...drc rules se architecture thak...he helps everyone...more help ful than someone who gives a false path during tapeout...more approachable..than any nearby eco filler cell...he has a diverse interests...books, drama, tech, PD...like a universal nand gate...and much much more...cooler than -40c...

Sthithapragna Tsunami

 I always liked chess…I used to play very well in my family when I used to play it…my main strength was patience and taking time and finally winning..:I rarely played time bound and when I played time bound and that too online I always made mistakes…and I watch all these blitz matches; they r just making so many moves per minute and wonder how they think so fast and not make mistakes…a traffic police in a busy junction in blr or any city is always in a lot of chaos….everyone wants to go and everyone keeps honking…he still handles it all well in the dust, in the heat and in the rains sometime…u will know his value when he is not there…always wondered the toughest job is to manage the kids in the kindergarten…no beating…shouting, reasoning doesn’t help…still needs to engage and manage…test matches in Australia are the toughest…Aussies make their own opportunities and build on them and once they smell a chance they pounce on the opponent team..imagine a series decider, playing for a d...
