Austin- near 2 yrs!!
I have been returning to post a lot.......
This is associated to the fact that I spend a lot of time alone....
I usually do spend a lot of time alone in my basement office... but at least in the morning time I used to have company...Now for various reasons I wont have that company!!
One of my good friends is finishing her Phd.. So her place will be vacant..... I will have to get used to that fact..... and then another office mate is heading to India..... So that leaves me alone [:(] in the office.......at least for a month may be.... I have to blog to keep my social contact (:D) ........
Anyway
Have to start my quals preparation........
Have to finish some stuff for the paper....
Have lots of stuff to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But the reason I started this blog was different... It is to see my 2 years in Austin .....
Professionally.......
Well, I guess i did decently in the courses (I surely should have done better with my grades!)
Research has two fronts, the publishing part and the other part is the research for funding.....
Without any doubt I spent most of my time in the latter... It is very useful practically but wont allow the opportunity to publish much... on the former, I did get one in my first summer. I hope to get one more this summer...... But I think I did gain a lot of knowledge and technical know how that should keep me in good stead but surely I have a lot more to learn and very little time... I need to work on that front
Personally....
It was all great until I went to India...... In india I had issues...... I could not resolve them... I tried after coming to austin... But things did not work out.... Dont know !! I should have tried harder.... But i could not push beyond a limit.... I have this feeling of guilt for not being able to keep my word.. that would leave a mark on me forever!! For now there is nothing I can do.....
Freinds.........
It was not all rosy even with friends I guess..... The kind of personality i have i make friends and people i cant talk much to.... Fortunately for a long time the former group was way larger than the second group..... But slowly i feel that the former group has dwindled...because of graduations...... The new students hopefully this year will fill the voids!! I desperately hope so!!
It is necessary to have a large grp........ so that i dont just talk about work and my guide all the time...... anyway!!
Well thats all I guess!!

War on Terror
Everybody in the world is concerned about the mumbai balsts...except the people who can act!!
I have had friends here ask me if everything is alright after mumbai...and what is the government doing to act!!
What should i say...
Everybody knows the people involved in this drastic act stay across the border honing their skills of making bombs and blowing up trains... under the careful guidance of ISI.... but still we talk of the useless peace process..... What is the solution to this problem!!.....
Look at Israel...... the lebanese killed 9 ..yes u read it right 9 people.. For that they started the war on lebanon killing more than 300 innocent civilians... is it right ..obviously not... but israel does not give a damn about lives of people in other countries when their citizens are at risk.... What the hell is our government doing... each country makes its own destiny... you sit back and take it..every damn country will give it to you... With the kind of leverage we should be exerting in this world what we are doing is close to nothing... common the leaders in power.... please!!!! i beg you..please wake up!!! and start acting like people with a spine.....
We are calm Dr.Man Mohan!!! We just dont want the government also to be calm..... attack the damn terrorist camps and eliminate them....
Dont act as we are ready to be blasted please come and do it kinds..... Plz for Godsake...we had enuf deaths till now...and we dont need any more!!!!

Appearance
Why on earth should appearance matter?
This is something I believe.... I tend to outrightly reject the point that appearance can and will influence the way you are looked upon...
The first time a person is seen he is judged based on the appearance... but once you are known as a person you should not be.. The first impression stays on agreed but still it should not influence the people so much that they cannot appreciate the good part of you just because they dont appreciate your appearance... If that's how it is... I would say "Go to Hell" to such people... they are too superfluous!!
For example if you are a prof and teach a class.... the fact that you are not at your best might and will influence a certain portion of class not to listen to your lecture.. I feel that portion of the class, in the first place, would not have heard the lecture for some other reason if not this... so dont care. As a prof you should invest time in certain things like preparing for the class and stuff... But not on getting ready !! (looks wise!!)
Of course I agree I have strong views But I will stick to them at any rate....
But time will come when I will have to decide how I will be and i believe I know the answer!!
Anyway............back to work !!!

Random Thoughts
I started reading lots of stuff, off late...... be it novels..be it blogs.. I do read a lot....
I do believe that reading helps to broaden your perspective in life... Things that you are in no way related to come up if you read some random novels and random pieces.... I read a very nice article about understanding the people who form the minority in a particular issue (ex: being left handed !!)

Gen
Been sometime since I blogged....
Life has been in slow motion for a while...My prof has taken a break.. So did I.. I guess I needed one!! Now I have to start thinking ahead... After my second summer in US.... I feel I have made reasonable progress... But its what I do from now that will decide where I will be in 2-3 years from now.... I have my qualifiers sometime in august... Have to start preparing for that.....
I , on the research side, have been happy with my progress. I felt I was learning stuff everyday..... But from now on I need to start reading a variety of texts to improve my knowledge!! Lets see what I will do....
Before that i have a gauss code to finish :)

Federer - The God
Fedi has done it... Thank God.....
I was so tense... man what a match....
he started in a great way....... but rest of the match was close...but he pulled through!!!
He committed unforced errors in the 3 rd set tie break.... Apart from that it was an awesome display!!
Nadal was a fighter!! and he did his bit ........ He fought and was a gracious loser... it was just that fedi was too good!!!
And my night out was worth it !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well.... also I loved his blazer....... It suited him I think :D
Fedi did it...
I am so happy ... I dont feel like sleeping now :D
The countdown ..its his 8th.............. atleast 6 more to go!!!!

July continues and Wimbledon
Well, the last two days have been crazy!!
Dont know when I am sleping and when I am up!!!
Anyway... the CEMDAP runs finally seem to have reached a point where they should be better....
Wimbledon has been going on fine....
Mauresmo won the ladies final.... well she more than deserved to... she has a game better than most others in the women's circuit..... but her temparament (till today!!) was suspect.. she will win more grandslams for sure..... but how many... let history decide!!
then coming to the big thing the Federer Vs Nadal Final... I to be honest did not want Nadal to reach the Finals.... dont know what federer is thinking....But he somehow needs to win this... If he looses on grass ... Oh God I wont be able to see that!!!!!
hoping and wishing him all the best!!!
