Today there was the delivery of sprint 1, and we were compelled to come to office even on weekends, two days at office. Working so hard. Yesterday code got compiled, and we are happy.

Day: Sunday
Project: SWA
Today we were working on the remaining functionality. And one of the team member was facing real problem in understanding the domain, and there we tried to explain him how the logic is running. Since morning me and other guy were reciting the words: download, upload, verfiyThrus. And after dinner, we came back and again the story repeats. Explaining him the domain. He is facing real problem in understanding the code.
This guy, Nitin got so fed up. He almost took the chair and tried to hit them. I was so startled. Ha ha! I could not control the laugh. And you have to see other peoples face. Total mess, but lot of fun. What ever this is one of the ultimate experiences I ever had in my career. I never had this much of fun when coding and specially deadline is terrifically so close.
We all finished the job some how and delivered the code. And these guys are so great, they drop me at my home like my brother used to do in the college days. I feel my golden old days came back to me. Since 10 days I am coming to my home at 11 / 12 pm. It's so much fun to work late in the nights. We apparently all are enjoying the work.
Two days back I was like pushing them too hard to finish the job, I was shouting in the meeting in front of the GPM that "we will be doing the job, and we are that capable of finishing it in two days." PM or GPM were not trusting me, that's the fun part. I am the only person who was shouting in the meeting. No one were ready to talk even a single word. They were staring with red hot eyes, perhaps thinking to kill me in their minds.
"Sali thu marvayigi."
I compelled them to work. I can make any one work, motivating others is new character I developed. But pushing them was the risk I had to take. I expected hatred, but they did not hate me. Today we did as I declared. PM was so happy to the see the code. Besides my team is no more angry on me but say I am the soul of the team.
"Olivia please don't stop talking, you are the spirit of our team."
I loved every second with this team; no ego, no grudges, no jealousy, no arrogance, no partiality. They all are so cool. Hope it stays so. This is real fun, this is called living. I am loving it. I am actually living life now . . .
"Work is fun!"
