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 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.

Days 31 -33

Day 33 (29th November) Corrected the Quiz. It provided an insight into how I should set the question paper for the final exam. Not all students are comfortable with numericals. Just hours before boarding the train, a fresh round of anxiety invaded my mind. Day 32 (30th November) A day spent in the train, anxious and stressed. Formulated the question paper to relieve my stress. Day 31 (1st December) Almost miraculously, the obstacles got cleared and we closed the deal. Huge day. Visited temples to offer thanks and celebrated at a quaint cafe. 

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.
