Technical update

Since this is a non technical space, I will dwell only in the delight and certain facts of my latest tech endeavor. As many know I am building a haptic glove that dreams to give some feedback to the user when he tries touching a virtual object. It is fun.

After two weeks of implementing the finger tracking and collision detection of the fingers with the object, today, I jumped in phase two of the project i.e. actually building the glove. The feeling is the most satisfying I have ever had in my work life. Although I am nervous and unsure about my abilities, techniques and dedication, I am immensely excited to be a part of my imagination. This is the first time I am living my early morning fantasy in real. Shringi sitting in a lab, thinking, going away for a while, writing some code or getting together some hardware, making something work, getting frustrated on defeats, trying to explain roadblocks. This is a feeling which tells me I finally know what I want to do. Be an explorer.

I will be proud of myself only when I live on the rules of being real and honest and achieve what my raw self can. Rest any success that comes my way will not be enough to satisfy me.

The last two lines were unnecessary but it would be cruel to delete them.
