Hmm... I feel better...

"The great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do..."

It came as 'Today's fortune' for me... I hardly believe in stuff like that... but like the quotes google keeps in the home page sometimes...

Today's fortune quotes above for me; I feel it's just for me... Because I am doing the same now...

It always happens; there will someone or some group always there to criticize or laugh at our actions and behavior and it happens to be neither they are good at anything... just interested in keeping our spirits down... I am surrounded by some of those kind of people... the kind of people just waiting for a chance to laugh at me... and waiting for me moment to see me tumble... With such people around I was cautious in my public profile... 'I should not give a chance'...

But recently one of my friends opened my eyes on something I never thought of... She told me... 'how better you are than those bunch, you are trying; that makes you a winner.... but those who never even try to do something; they are just losers... you don't have to worry about those people; because they just talk and you do...'

Hmm... why should I let myself down... I can do better things... I know that.... and in past I have done that... I just have to believe in myself... and if someone desire that I fall down, I can show that I won't fall but fly...

And it's blue blue sky again....

The sky it's cleared up... after a week of gloom, it changed it's colors back to summer again...

The rain was good, relieving from the heat... but it brought me confined to room because of the bad cold and fever I got because of the rain... last week-end I was in rain for 3 days... too many parties and functions to attend... and roamed around in Nova a lot in rain... The aftereffect, one week of sickness...

Finally today I saw the sky getting cleared up, so does my fever and cold... I am in lab in perfect health... Boss had given me o much work at the beginning of the week, I couldn't finish any full... so lots of things to catch up...

And... from tomorrow whole of my group will be out of station... all going to Bhubaneswar for a workshop... it's for the experimentalists, so the theoretician; me is staying back here... with a desire to finish some works... hope I can do; with the University fest coming up next week and so many other distractions around too...

Rain, Easter and a busy Week-end...

Thus went by another week-end, fun filled and busy... It was so special in many senses... Holi week-end first of all... then came the rain... and many parties inbetween...

All started with the Good Friday rain... We all went to church drenched only to know that the mass was in Telugu... all of us were non-Telugues... so we were just standing and listening to the 'unknown' but 'known' language... A rain on Good Friday was expected... But nobody expected it to last for days...

Saturday my friend Dame had a party to give... She is from Meghalaya and her Dad is now the new Chief Minister there... A toast to the new CM behalf of his daughter... Rain tried to make the spoil spot, but it was fun...

Easter, my last one in Hyderabad... needed to be celebrated... After the mass, my boss invited his whole group for a lunch... In the afternoon myself Jacob and Gineesh started our Easter dinner preparations... Appam and chicken was the special of the day... My close buddies in university came over... had a wonderful and memorable dinner with all chit-chats and movies...

During lunch with my guide's family we all got to see the Bhagavath Gita episodes from his collection... While watching that he was stressing on the fact 'work is worship'... that was his moto all his life... After all the festivities yesterday I had another motivational talk from my boss... 'Time is money'... 'You are running out of time'... As before, it's me again back to the busy schedules again... I am working on 3 problems now... that means 3 papers to be written soon...

Slowing down!?

It's worst stage in my phase of work... when we are supposed to be at the best, we are seeing in the ourself in the reverse trend... It's depressing time...

Being in the final year, I am supposed to see the last page of my work... but instead, the pressure had eaten me almost and I am finding myself confused and lost...

LOST in real sense... I am in a stage where I don't know where to go next... what to do next... I did know what I was doing and how far to go... Now I feel blank inside...

People say it's the time... it's the weather... hmm... but it's not good at all... Everyone says they are in the same phase... like a 'researcher's block'... nothing coming out... want to do many a things... but like a dehydrated vegetable...

What needed this time is some energy boosters... a motivational breakthrough result... hmm... I am in the process of writing 3 more abstracts for 3 more conferences coming up soon... lots of things to do...

Waiting for my boost up...

A fun filled week-end....

It has been a very busy week-end... and fun filled too...

To start with; the Women's day celebration here... It's the last one for me here in campus... and being in the busy schedule I didn't put much effort for organization. But on the D Day its all on the senior citizens to take care... Well right from the games till the last music beat of the midnight DJ... I was non-stop running...

Everytime organization is fun when we have a great team round... this time too, all my old buddies were there... So Just like old days... we did it again... The photoes tell more of the stories...

Sunday Jacob had decided for a dinner party in his new house... But the previous day's work had given me a bad cold and head ache... I was sneezing all the time... Still managed to get up at 11.00am and dragged myself to the house... Once the cooking process started with Jacob and Sushil in kitchen, I forgot my ill health... The chicken curry they made; yummy plus the veg dish and salad from my hands and home made pickles made the dinner....

Back again in the week days... busy... seminars and meeting boss... happening one after another...

Inbetween I found some time for photographing the flowery campus... may be I can upload that later and save for yet another photoblog...

Busy March...

Finally March here... so does summer in Hyderabad... Days are getting hotter... and energy lesser... Work has slowed down a bit; mostly attributed to the fun filled football month February... It seemed I was back in my old working ways; but March is again a sporty month... All school games and athletics coming up.. How much ever I tried to hide away from the responsibility of organizing and participating... grr... I was traced out...

From 11th till 26th... with many gaps... all these events are going to happen... and I am one of the organizers plus a sure participant of athletics... It's again me finding extra time for my work... like in Feb...

It's not just sports; but many other things in our school too... Sometimes it's good to be in the limelight; but sometimes responsibilities in excess is a headache... Being one of the senior most people expect a lot from me I know... but I need to get time for my works too... Difficult time... But I know I can manage...
