Im onto it again. Im spoilt again. Im awake late nights. No getting early. Its getting more and more difficult to take that routine back. New hostel hall-9 is boring and remotely located in the campus. Village hostel of IITK.

From last few days i caught bad cold. I think I will need medicine now to recover.

Exploring my hometown

I've been living in my town since I was in 4th class. I'm not in a mood to count now but still that's too much of time. There were so many incredible places near me unknown two me. Thanks to two of my friends who wished to see Allahabad and visited me a week ago. Revisiting planetarium after 15 years or so it was like visiting memory lanes. Watching Swaraj Bhawan museum as adults was more meaningful. I discovered Yamuna ghats which were more than good and worth visit. And the sunset at Sangam point was enchanting. The color and mix of sky was just wonderful!



Not to mention that I have a thing for clouds. I used to have a dusk-phobia earlier in my life. I couldn't bear dusk time outside roof specially in city crowd. I still remember the haunting image of December sky when I used to return from a coaching class in my high school days. Then there was psychological renaissance and I became admirer of the beautiful clouds. Colourful skies and there varied shapes too.

Back home

I’m back home enjoying a 1 week break. Now being a master’s student it’s not as easy to get a week’s break as it has been earlier. Get your leave application approved by your supervisor and submit it in department office. Only limited number of leaves available at disposal. On 15th I travelled to Lucknow (less than 100km away from IITK). Then along with my sister we came to our home town the same day. At home mamma is doing excellently well in her health. Her doctor recommended to stop taking medics. What better than this can happen.

Life is treating me good these days. Last 2-3 days were spent with friends who were visiting my place. Driving half the day in the city and around the city. I drove something like 60 km in 2 days.

Eating Mom made food and sitting back idle at home feels so good to me. Having mangos daily is yummy. I love em! But alas only 2 more days to go. :( Will be back by 23rd. All things must pass.

Misty

Just when I decided that I will write a confession something happened. Something happened and saved me the foolishness. I was thinking from quite a while. I was about to. It was on my fingertips ready to strike the keyboard. But then it changed. I went back. I got to state of uncertainty again. It's misty out here I can't see. I know what I want to see. But knowing is not enough. Still can't see. I'll wait for the mist to clear. Then it will come out. Everybody wait for the mist.

Lost in the world

There was a peahen roaming around in the lovely weather after the rain. She was accompanied by her three roaming peachicks. Two of them were quick and followed there mother.One was quite dumber and got left behind. He (lets suppose 'he'. I'm not anti-feminist if not feminist and I don't want to use 'it') was left behind and lost his mother. He was left behind in the race for survival.

We saw this baby lost in the world he doesn't knew. It was crying like you would cry if you were lost. Yes, it was not a human cry but it was filled the emotion you would carry. It must be the same feeling. Because the feeling does not know which species it is felt by. If we can't listen to his feelings then, well, I must say, its only our limitation. After all we are just humans. Nothing more.

Free time

With large part of the so called summer term of M.Tech. thesis finished I'm on another movie watching spree. Frequency of watching movie is on high. Three in a row from this morning. Two yesterday. That's quite too much for me.

Lots of news watch. The 3 favorite sites being hindu, bbc's S. Asia and IBNlive.

Fed has done it! He won Wimbildon for 6th time and record 15th time a grand slam. He says the excitment kept him from sleeming that night. Toast for the big man. King of his era. Now the only thing that will make him bigger and undisputed all time best is a win against Nadal. Lets wait and watch.

The new budget presented by Congress govt. allots around 500 cr rupees for RnD in scince and technology in India. And just for the sake of facts its nearly one-fourth of the budhed of Harvard.

Getting with the squash sessions. As for now I don't seem to gain any special skills as to what I was 2 months ago in the game. From few days I've been struggling with the backhand. I remember last semester when I used to practice lone I once came so close that backhand seemed more natural than forehand. But that's gone. Seems I need to practice on myh own. That's the best way. But these days we are into full court game during sessions so it's quite fun. To play with 2 people on court.

I've been also reading history books a few. History of Europe and the Indian history as well. I read to learn that I forgot many things from Indian history. Oh what a sin! Now is the redemption time!

I need anti-sleeping pills

Where do we get them. Im sleeping too much. There are many sleeping pills in the market. I wonder why they never worked on anti-sleeping pills. It seems reading and sleeping have ancestral enmity. Both of them ever-hostile to each other. As soon as I start to read a journal I'm down. I have a big task ahead. I have to read 7 papers till 5th July and summarize them too. If that is to be completed then only with the help of non-existent anti-sleeping pills.
