Day 7

Day 7 (25th December)

The last week of 2018 has arrived. I am completely at peace with myself, because 2018 has been so kind to me. But one thing didn't happen this year - an annual event that I had initiated in 2006. After 12 editions, it didn't take place this year despite my best efforts to push people. A legacy that I wanted to remember fondly died suddenly. But now there is a move to revive it early next year. Today I wrote the operative part of the brochure for the event. 

And there was one necessary but tiresome chore which I had been procrastinating. I managed to get it done while listening to Naushad's compositions endlessly on Carvaan. So life can't be better on Christmas Day. And yes, looking forward to wake up early tomorrow for the Boxing Day cricket.

Day 86

Day 86 (7 th October) Today was the kind of day when I did not achieve much; yet I didn’t waste my time. Preparation for tomorrow’s lecture brought fresh insights. This is the joy of teaching. PS – This blog is now 2 weeks old and it is helping me to channelise my positive energy.

Day 93

Day 93 (30 th September) The day was consumed in preparing for tomorrow’s class, always a learning experience. Ryder Cup action played out in the background. I look for new things to present and new ways of presenting old things. I have complete autonomy in that I don’t have to follow any set syllabus or a prescribed textbook. Identifying and locating information is the easy part. Presenting them in a lucid way is the challenging part. Sometimes the presentation just assembles itself intuitively.

Day11

Day 11 (21st December)  Mailed the AI column. Looking for a title. Asked twitter, but got no response. I have couple of ideas in mind and will choose one.  Received a proper consulting request. Well more or less. Responded tersely because I am not desperate. Meeting with good friend at a bar that serves exotic craft beers. The place was overrun by women in early 40s celebrating silver jubilee of their class reunion. Almost all of them were surprisingly trim.
