Like never before...

It's all work work over my desk now... All online games, chatting reduced considerably... Somehow boss is happy on what I am doing now... A bit more work, I can wind up and pack off from this place...
Equations are in even my dreams now... numbers and exponentials and integrals work out even when I eat... It's nice to be a workaholic, feels good, like never before...
Outings and movies reduced a lot... Less music plays in my laptop and mobile... But still it feels good like never before...
'Photoes' album takes time to get the size increased... Photography was always my first passion... But feels good like never before...
It's not raining much, the climate is like summer... But feels good, like never before...
Infact, the feeling is great... after an interval, back again with a 'Big Bang'!!!

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...

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...

Misfits... The new champs...

Misfits.... Misfits....

The name was around the field for 2 days... Finally yesterday night when our captain received the winners prize; we too shouted at the top of our voice "misfits"...

Yeah, we won... we are the women football champs of HCU...

The first match against the Nagaland team last day was tough in a sense they played defense and I really had a tough time being the striker... But managed a goal... finally we won the match on penalty shoot out...

The final was worse... against the Mizo team... they were famous for rough game... and we were really roughened... Me and my my captain scored one goal each... But the referee mistakes gave the opponents 2 penalties inbetween and the match again went to penalty shoot out... Unlike the other day I didn't miss the shot... We won 2-0 in penalties...

The excitement followed was high... we danced, we jumped, we screamed... afterall it was our day... and we felt we deserved the victory...

To add to all these more happy news... Mallus won the men's title... So the party going double...

Misfiters time ahead...

Finally Monday... I hate Mondays... The fact that I dint show up my face in department on Saturday and Sunday make things even worse... A research scholar should never have week-ends.... Somebody told some time back; my boss... Anyway he didn't tell anything regarding my absence...

Whole week-end the Misfits were getting ready for the great tournament... Today 'Night cup' football starts here in HCU... Tomorrow is our match... The 'Misfit' team is ready... though with few injuries (including me)... That's our team... A mention about the team name... It has nothing to do with the 'Fitness'... The fact is when people form team on communities and all we are a mix of all... people from different states... We wont fit any where... but will fit everywhere... So all are waiting for the kick-off moment now...

I am the only one Research Scholar in the team... So need to finish so much of work in the mean time also... because my boss is not happy with my sporting activities in campus... he says I am too much involved in those... than research... So I can never neglect my work here and go after the matches alone....

It's football time...

I am back again... guess what... after cricket, its football season in campus... so excited... My final Nari cup football I suppose...

My team had won twice here in university.. but last year we didnt play... the reason was 95% of my team had finished their course and left the campus... and I missed them most and didnt look out for new players combined with some hectic research work...

This year also I thought, just like in cricket; 'ok no time for any more team formation, focus on work and leave'... But just like cricket, one team came for me... I couldnt say NO...

So I am back again... back as 'ME'... feeling so good... We worked out a bit in the mosrning... Our coach was optimistic... With a week to go, we have lots of work to do..,
