I have seen him somewhere

How often this question strikes in a your mind in a day, "I have seen him somewhere"? or "I have seen her somewhere"? Probably an alternative question that may be strking your mind could be, "I am seeing him for the first time, but looks like I have seen him. I have met him. I have talked with him somewhere"??

Since last few days its hapening to me many times a day. Now I had to find reason for that, right? Also I will have to know weather this happens with all of you or not, right? And that is for what this post is.

Okay. So one of the reason I found behind this i-have-seen-him-before syndrome is, information overload. I mean, really. Just observe, in a week how many new faces you are seeing? How many in a months and in years. I am sure you will not remembering all of them. Well, I know there will always be exception to this and one of that exceptional case is my friend. He says me, he never forgets faces of girls. He never gets infected by i-have-seen-her disease, as long as girls are concerned. So they are definetely exception to this.

Okay, so now getting onto the track again, I was explaining that the number of people you meet in a week or month or year are getting increasing ever. Lets talk about old days where people were used to devote their whole professional life serving to single organization and getting born, broght-up & died in same town. And just compare it with current lifestyle. Till this time, just count how many rooms you have changed? How many roommates have been changed even thouigh you have never changed your room? How many towns you have lived? How many schools/colleges/companies you have changed? I am sure its gonna be long, really loooong, list. And so it is quite quite natural to get infected by i-have-seen-him-somewhere disease. Same is the case with me.

Recently I have seen someone in my organization, and than came a flash like thought, "I have seen him somewhere". Also with this thought an instant unconscious answer came, "in a hollywood movie I had seen yesterday" !!! Than my conscious mind woke-up roaring, "what the hell?? This man? And in hollywood movie?? Get lost dude. He is not an actor for sure". This battle continues and gets quietened automatically after somtime. But than again suddenly while talking with a friend or while talking on a phone or while peeing (yes while peeing) an answer strikes, "Aha !!! I had seen him in a train and he was my lone companion during my never ending 36 hours of journey of that train".

So this is what happens to me. How often do you get attacked by this syndrome?? And what do you feel is the reason for that??

Did you mean fatima?

I was searhcing for 'eetimes' on twitter, but by mistke I typed 'eetims'. And than twitter asked, "Did you mean fatima?", like a deaf person. Ha ha ha ...

Bura mat mano, ye TV show hai ...

Bug loggin by testing team ...

Introduction:

Roshan D'Mello (QA Tester)
Developer (Mukesh Thakur)



Roshan D'Mello: Hey Mukesh, there is a bug in your code. Type a text in
username text box and press enter. Beep sound doesn't appear.
Mukesh Thakur: How can that be a bug? There is no requirement that beep
sound should come. Anyway, I will assign it to offshore and get it fixed.


After 2 days,

Mukesh Thakur: Roshan, bug is fixed. Please verify.

After another 2 days,

Roshan D'Mello: I have re-opened the bug because sound is not coming in
some PCs. Sound is coming in my machine, but my colleague Rajat Choudhry
is not getting the sound.


After another 2 days,



Mukesh Thakur: Not a bug. I observed that your friend Rajat Choudhry h as
Old IBM machine. Unlike your DELL machine, IBM machines do not have
inbuilt speakers. So, to hear the sound in Rajat Choudhry's machine,
please use head phones and then get the bug closed soon.


Another 2 days,



Roshan D'Mello: I have re-opened the bug because sound tone is Different
across different machines. Sound is coming as 'BEEP' in my machine, but My
colleague Rajat Choudhry who is having IBM machine is getting the sound as
'TONG'.



Mukesh Thakur: Not a bug. Get lost man. What can we do for the bug? The
Two machines are built in such a way that they produce different sounds.Do
You expect the developers to rebuild the IBM processors to make them
uniform?
Please close it.


Another 2 days,



Roshan D'Mello: I have re-opened the bug because intensity of beep Sound
produced on 2 different DELL machines is different. My machine produces
Beep sound of i ntensity 10 decibels whereas my friend's machine produces
Sound worth 20 decibels. Fix your code to make the sound uniform across a
ll machines.







Another 2 days later,



Mukesh Thakur: Once again it is not a bug. I have noticed that the Volume
set is different on the two machines. Ensure that volume is same in both
The machines before I get mad and then close the bug.



Another 2 days,



Roshan D'Mello: I have re-opened the bug.
Mukesh Thakur: What ?? Why? What more stupid reasons can be there for
re-opening?
Roshan D'Mello: Sound intensity is different for machines placed at
different locations (different buildings). So, I have re-opened it.



After 2 days,



Mukesh Thakur: I have made some scientists do an acoustical analysis of
the two buildings you used for testing. They have observed that the
acoustics in the two buildings v aries to a large extent. That is why
sound intensity is different across the 2 buildings. So, I beg you to
please close the bugs.



After 1 year



Roshan D'Mello: I am re-opeing the bug. During the year, I requested The
clients to arrange architects to build two buildings with same Acoustical
features, so that I can t est it again. Now, when I tested, I found that
intensity of sound still varying. So, I am re-opening the defect.



Mukesh Thakur: GROWLLLL.....I am really mad now. I am sure that the Sound
waves of the two buildings are getting distorted due to some background
noice or something. Now I need to waste time to prove that it is because
of background noice.



Roshan D'Mello: No need for that. We will put the machines and run them
in vacuum and see.



Mukesh Thakur: ??

He is now in mental asylum while Roshan D’Mello has become QA Manager.
