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!

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.
