Pycon India 2011 day 2

Sitting in Indigo flight 6E – 302 on way back to Chennai. PyCon Day 2, turned out to be a much more emotional day than anyone of us expected and the lesser spoken about it the better. A few of us did plan to go out for dinner or rather “dhum, dharu aur dinner” as one of them put it, however that did not happen. There were a few good talks, Raymond's talk on sub classing was an eye opener. Most of the things he talked about was what we do day to day, only it looked so much more cleaner when he explained it on stage. I came to appreciate a lot of code that I have written. Code that I though was way too trivial to be appreciated for elegance. There were a few very very controversial talks as well, and that meant a lot of good discussion post talk at the hallway. It was sad however that I could not attend the Django deployment talk that I so badly wanted to. But I got hold of the speaker after talk and we had a quick chat about the various deploy options available for django developers. I spent the second straight evening roaming the roads of Pune. Partly cross with a useless friend of mine who pulled out of a meetup because he was way too lazy. I ended up at this amazing dessert place called chocolade and had this thing called white chocolade which is something between a very thick milkshake and a melted ice cream. Needless to say it tasted amazing. I spent the rest of the evening trying to find a place that would serve me dinner without having me to wait for more than an hour. Gosh, Pune can get crowded at dinner time. Finally found this place called Aroma cafe where I had some decent Italian Alberto Pasta. Really loved the flavours in it. Thats where I also managed to watch some amount of EPL, ManU Thrashed Chelsea like crazy \m/. Spent the morning basically lazing around. Did try to put a word across to S, trying to figure out if I could come attend a few TFI classes / speak to the children., unfortunately I did not get a reply in time and had to forgo the plan and head to airport. May be its for the good.For the students I mean. I just realized off late that I can be a very crappy teacher, leave alone being a guy trying to inspire students. So yes here I am heading back to Chennai after a rather eventful weekend. Looking forward to getting back to Python, Work and Ultimate Baby!!
