I got a book!

without comments

Okay so this guy from FedEx calls me up.

“Sir”, he calls me (immediately kindling my interest ;) ), “You have a package from the States”.
“Ah! yes. I’ve been expecting it.”, I shout happily.

My friends Jerry and Pradeep came along with me to the local FedEx office. They gave me a book shaped package tightly bound in a white, synthetic, plastic-like cover.

Yes, I knew it was a book!.

Google had sent me a gift to congratulate me on my acceptance into the Google Summer of Code Programme.

I hastily unwrapped the package and showed off my book to my pals with a huge smile on my face.

I had been sent ‘Beautiful Code’ from O’REILLY.

I held it up proudly. This was proof of a dream come true. :)
