Le me dozing off in Intuit office - jobless on the first day - on my comfortable SteelCase chair.

“Hey, Wake up!”

I’m up. It’s my mentor Harsh Vardhan Gupta. He has a serious look on his face, and his phone in his hand.

“The team manager is back from the US. He tried to wake you up, but you wouldn’t respond. He called me.”

While doing a couple of screencasts that we had to do as a part of our course, I went through the process of learning how to create a screencast with just the basic ffmpeg tool. After facing a couple of hurdles and several iterations of juggling with settings later, I finally came up with the right recipe: It works smooth as a charm.

This is a beautiful poem I found from the movie Fracture. It’s written by Dr. Seuss. It’s inspiring!

Congratulations!
Today is your day,
You’re off to Great Places!
You’re off and away!

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You’re on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who’ll decide where to go.
