The love of lacoste

Last friday I went to Macys to do some window shopping not much has changed at Macys after they took over Marshall Fields you will still find all the designer brands Ralph Lauren, BOSS, Lacoste and others. So I went to the lacoste section where I spotted some nice looking polo shirts the blue one with a price tag of $85 wow now thats a lot of money for a cotton polo but then it was Lacoste designed in france made in peru the other colors were good too but I wasnt in the mood of spending that much so later that day I went to ebay and searched for lacoste polos and found many sellers selling them while I was browsing through all this I also has suspicions like what if the seller sends me the wrong color shirt or worst what if the shirt is a fake so after googling a bit I did find out that there were fake shirts around anyways I found this seller selling a lot of 3 shirts and the images provided looked good thats when I decided I gotta have those at all cost and the price of 3 shirts $60 which means $20 per shirt not too bad eh!!! I placed the order and got the shirts via priority mail within 2 days and the shirts were exactly as described and they look good I compared them with the ones available at macys and nordstorm and they are strikingly similar so even if they are fake they are darn good fakes... love it

Arey, I am 43% Pakistani!

Arey, you are 43% Pakistani!

 

Not bad, but not good enough to call yourself a real Pakistani either! You seem more London than Lahore, so why not try wearing a shalwar kameez for a week and maybe that'll bump up your rating...

How Pakistani are you? (first class number one!)

Oh no!!! I am a 43% Pakistani thats too bad how will I return to Pakistan with a score like this the questions were bad well not all but a few were stupid. There should have been choices

Blizzard, Hectic Day and Lost

So I was standing there waiting for the bus to take me to the blue line at Jefferson Park and the weather in chicago truly amazing 32 degrees and a blizzard in progress pulpy ice and I stood there waiting for the bus it took a good 25 minutes!!!! thank you CTA oh I so miss karachi even though buses dont have any fixed timings but yet the frequency of them showing up is much better than chicago hectic day at work I hate switching from one module to another this is happening too often now and it gives me a headache. The weather has been really annoying its supposed to be spring here it april but we have snow and rain and blizzards but at the end of day I watched Lost loved todays episode and really disappointed at Juliet though why is she helping the others!!!!

Python: First Impressions

Its been around 3 months now since I started working with python scripts although it would be too undermining to call it a scripting language as its a very powerful language which covers the object oriented concepts. Everything in python is a simple var or a list or a dictionary(Maps in java and C++). If you have worked with C++ or Java the learning curve for python is short. Python is usually compared with Java and benchmarks show that its faster than java bytecode. But the language has some quirks that if not mastered can create disasters like for code blocks instead of {} python used indentation (tabs, whitespace) to determine if a line is part of some function or class and when you are working with a team you need to need to set the indentations so if you are using 4 spaces for your part while your teammate is using a tab character for indentation now if you want to change something from your teammates module and you use your indentation level the python interpreter wont like it and will give you errors which will result in you pulling your hairs so beware of the indentations that you set. Other thing that you should watch out for is python vars are initialized to "None" and surprisingly this None is not equivalent to null or NULL infact its a string so while you are expecting integers or other data types other than string watch out for the string content None.

Personally, I am not a big of using indentations for code blocks the idea is neat but I would still prefer Java and C++ because of their code organization

Weather Rants

A week back I wrote how the weather in chicago got so much better and the arrival of spring well it appears I spoke too soon this whole week the tempreature took a 360 turn and today (Sunday) light snow is expected on friday morning it was like 24 degrees in the morning and this is april and its supposed to be spring!!!! ... and while I was watching this movie "Lake House" they talked abt 60 degrees on valentines day and the so called global warming is here oh so now someone can please explain why we have tempreatures in the upper 20s in april to be honest now I really cant make any meaning of this global warming is it here was here will it be here ha only time will tell but whatever this daylight saving is still here and the sun doesnt set until its 7:30pm in chicago btw I was telling my trainer how we can get tempreatures around 140 F in Karachi he was shocked!! :) I told him it was like Phoenix, AZ and I have seen people cant stand the heat here when its 100F here. Hopefully, this will be the last wave of winter in chicago sorry cant help it I am an optimist
