Pre-compilation jitters

After churning out a zillion lines of code you are all set to run it. Just two keys Ctrl+R hold your destiny in them. You realize that in a few moments the result of your hand-aching effort of the last week will be out. The infinite number of loops, the multidimensional arrays, the scary pointers, the sub-sub-sub-functions, and all the random characters that you keyed into the program will be put to test. You know that what has to be done is already done. There are bound to be some errors and that Ctrl + R is just a formality. But still you feel something very strange. Your stomach begins to feel funny. I have been one such victim for the past few days. In such circumstances we (at least I) undergo many physiological changes. My fingers begin a tremble a bit. I'm sure my hearbeat goes down to 42 from the current 72 (don't ask why 42, I just happen to like it). There is definitely a change in my blood pressure (msot likely it decreases). I almost break into a cold sweat. Now in some cases I also get goosebumps. It vaguely reminds me of a similar feeling. When I used to travel from our town to our village in the orange bus and it felt very nauseating feeling. I had no option but to go on with it.


But finally Ctrl + R happens. The compiler finds some errors. You make appropriate correstions. And its Ctrl + R again. After a few iterations of this procedure ... the code tastes really sweet .. ummmm.
