The Week

The week thats coming to end was average .. nothing much .. I mean no surprising news .... no surprising gains :)

Nevertheless quite a few small things did happen .... I rejoined guitar classes (as a matter of fact the guitar classes restarted) and so I am officialy learning guitar again. I watched "Aviator", the only movie this week and I read "Digital Fortress" by Dan Brown, a nice book with not so impressive ending.

I did eat out a lot during the last weekend and some of this week and tried out "Pizzeria" for the first time. It was pretty good as we (me and moka) found out. The burger was amazing even though I had only a few bites. We plan to go back there soon :) ... The BTP is also coming along slowly and the mid sem report is due Monday 4 PM. Burger is due 5 PM :)

Four Years

Today I went to the administrative department to get a bona-fide certificate. Something unexpected happened there. As I was about to leave with the certificate, the guy who issued it looked up at me and said "Four Years Huh !!! ..... So how have been these four years". I looked at him and smiled and kept smiling for sometime before I realized that he is really expecting an answer from me. I was not really sure what to say to this guy so I said that so far so good. The guy still did not look really satisfied with my answer and said "So far so good ?? .... would'nt you say it was good.... do you think there is scope for improvement ...... anyways that is always there". I said yeah there is really scope for improvement, both in me and in the system. I then told him that I think the administrative staff here is really helping, more so than the staff I met at IITB. "And what about the faculty", came the next question. I said that its OK and I feel that there should have been more faculty as ours is a very small department. Thankfully our meeting ended with this. I find it really difficult to answer this question. Yes I did have lot of compaints intially and it was difficult to adjust but over time a lot of those memories have faded and for good I feel. I do not want to remeber them and am happy the way its going right now. I think that I have finally made my peace with things here :)
