Life's not the same....

It's 8.00 pm and I am in my lab... nothing like that happened b4 in my research life... life's changing.... for everything there's a time... this is the time to move out...
Life going hell lot busy with the thesis work.... it's correction time and seminar preparation... the target is mid-march when i can have a big smile... till then its a busy bee routine...
I hardly see my close friends around.... neither I am spending time in gops... and not even photography series (though i click random clinks now and then)... Not so interest in late night movies in my laptop... Instead, it's late night tea and 'latex' typings...
It's not just the thesis, but something which i can never live without too... its the sports month here... my football team 'misfits' in the field already practicing... all the excuses to keep away, will never work with them... so i am field too...
My life in hyderabad is shuttling between the football field and the lab.. two extremes, for many I am a mystery person, managing extreme works... but thatz me... and thatz making me different... and truly I am loving it....

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..,
