November of 2003. I was working as an intern at Honeywell in Bangalore. My mentor just set my ass on fire and took off. I had a deadline to complete this super-crazy code by tomorrow. I had a big fight with my g/f the evening before. She was complaining about how insensitive I've become during my internship since I was spending more time at work and less time on the phone with her.
So I was sitting in front my computer in this lonely corner on the 5th floor of the Uranus building thinking about what to do. I wear my headphones and the music settles in the back of my head helping my brain come up with the right code for the algorithm I had to implement. And that's when "Fast car" by Tracy Chapman came on... I couldn't remember seriously listening to this song before but that day it just took out everything off my head.
"Fast Car" kept me going straight until I finished my work at 3am in the morning the next day. Tired and exhausted but very happy with what I achieved I left for home. Unfortunately I had to walk back home since I could not find any public transportation at that time. But it didn't matter. I was a Fast Car heading in to neverland..! Oh yeah my mentor and my other teammate patented our algorithm after I left Honeywell for College..! :) And the fight with my g/f....Er..that's another story..!
