Day 87


Day 87 (6th October)

What a splendid day! The knotty problem of yesterday got unknotted rather easily and in the process yielded solutions to a couple of other situations that had been on my backburner. The euphoria generated spilled over and became infectious.
But there was something else that made my day. It was an innocuous tweet - People who live far below their means enjoy a freedom that people busy upgrading their lifestyles can’t fathom. Without wanting to sound boastful, I want to say I have been practising it for decades. And I have tasted that freedom.

Day 34

Day 34 (28th November) The course is done and dusted. Wrapped it up with a quiz and soliciting feedback. The feedback is delightful, way better than I had expected. There are clear suggestions for improvement, in case I wish to repeat it next year. The most important suggestion concerns my voice. I must ask the college to get me a better mike, one that I don't have to hold in my hand. Two courses taught this year. Must focus on the book now.

Day 74

Day 74 (19 th October) I have a lot to write about today, but in no frame of mind to write now after watching visuals of the Amritsar train tragedy. Such mindless tragedies are waiting to happen across the country. We continue to treat human lives with utter callousness. A tragedy on a festive occasion is doubly disturbing.

Day 78

Day 78 (15th October) I had a lot on my plate today but returned home to a non-responsive computer. The frustration mounted as I kept attempting to revive it. Technical Support numbers were non-existent. And I had almost reconciled to replacing a crashed harddisk. But just few minutes before the computer has risen like a Phoenix. It is time to take the warnings seriously and do some proactive maintenance.
