A realistic assessment of Tehelka

A very nice article by Kishore Asthana on the recent Tehelka Expose.

I agree with most of the arguments there. Very well written!!

My specifications

Off late, I have become so rigid that I can't tolerate so many things. May be it is time I consider living alone. But may be if I get my room for myself I shall be fine. So 2 more weeks!!

13 miles

i successfully ran 13 miles and man it was tough!!

He is back

So happy to see Sehwag back. I hope he can play like he used to in his glory days. The more important of the announcement, however was the dropping of Dravid. If he has been rested thats fine. But if he has been dropped because of his performance over the last ten ODI's nothing is more ridiculous. We are talking here about a great performer over the years and a guy who just renounced his captaincy. He should at least be given to settle back in his own team. Somebody please put some sense into the selectors!!

Weeping

Many of you might laugh at this, but for me weeping is one of the nicest forms of relieving stress and even finding a special kind of happiness. Watching good movies that touch you, for the way they connect with society or the issues that they tackle will move you, and if they can make you cry there is no good substitute for such tears. It makes me feel light hearted and much better. I don't know why!!

I still remember the day I read Kite Runner. There was something in the book that I connected so deeply I was crying for more than an hour and after all that I finally realized what I connected with and it made me exactly identify my mistake. I know I don't have the chance or the power to correct it but at least I can now clearly admit it.

Movies and life

Was watching movies of various types. "Kannethal Muthu mittal" and "Shankarabharanam".....

Watching them you realize there are so many pressing things in the world and yet you carry on in your life as if everything is fine and work on solving research problems that actually amount to solving nothing but trivial issues. I know I am ranting but being a Phd student and working on "research" yoiu sometimes feel is it all really worth it. It is not because I am finding it hard, but it is because I am not sure if this is what I was meant to and should be doing.

I am yet to find a goal and I hope it is something I can be satisfied without any qualms when I am close to the end of this life.

Well, was it right?

I would not have accepted what happened today during my first year at UT or any time before. Am I becoming so liberal? or is it being ... I even don't know what it is. But I am sure it was inappropriate

Life however moves on
