Day 41

Day 41 (20th November

Had only 600 more words to complete the column, but struggled all day. Barely finished at 8, and within minutes the editor was reminding me to rush it. The deadline was yesterday! The main reason for my tardiness is the laptop, which is disfunctional since last week. This forced me to unveil the iPad and use it for the first time ever. And no Office Word! So totally at sea in navigating! The other reason is that Artificial Photosynthesis is a completely new topic for me. I had difficulty in organising the stuff and to keeping it simple and sweet. Anyway at the end, a big relief and feeling like a student after completing the final examination!

Days 100 - 95

Most of us make resolutions at the start of every new year. But they often fall by the wayside before even the first fortnight is over. There are 100 more days left for 2018 to end. And I plan to post one positive and feel-good experience each day. So, this blog will be regularly updated, every 2-3 days, if not daily. It is primarily for my own evolution. Of course, you can choose to read it and get entertained or inspired as you wish. Day 100 (23 rd September) Today was the Ganesh Visrajan finale and I punished myself by going to Girgaon Chowpatty. My last such experience was 6 years ago in 2012. The objective was to test my ability and agility with the camera in the crush of a huge crowd with occasional random and chaotic movements. And I passed my test successfully. I obtained some decent pictures in rapidly failing light. Day 99 (24 th September) The class reconvened today after 10-day break for Ganapati. I began a new topic and spoke without using PowerPoint....
