Alhamdulillah (Praise be to God)...
Last Thursday, the project which I was working on, went live. It was such a pleasant gift to see so many smiling faces around me and good wishes mails in my box. As usual, this work also went through so many ups and downs. There were times when I even missed my prayer schedule. Ramdhan fasting was a bit difficult with this project seeking my availability almost anytime. God's grace, all went fine.
The day before our go-live, we got a defect with the code. We had to analyze the code at those dying moments and was finally able to find it out and come up with the solution. The next day, that fix was made and the processes were completed successfully.
The funny thing here was, I was not feeling well and had applied for a half day leave on this penultimate day. I was relaxing at home when I got the call regarding the defect. Then I had to be on call for more than 3 hours. I lost a leave, infact half day leave.
My manager threw us a party at MangoShiva (No offense to anything in this world...this is a name of a restaurant here in Calgary). I enjoyed sea food dinner spiced with Prawns, Calamari, Mussels and Scallops.
Looking back at the 3-4 months of struggle, and the feeling I now have, it makes me believe that it was indeed an effort well worth
