Day 42

Day 42 (20th November)

Gurgaon, screened by Indian Express Film Club, was a poor selection. The script was weak, the pacing was poor, the acting was terrible and the background score was incongruous. I did not find a single redeeming feature. Some people walked out midway; my first such experience at IE film club screening. Left immediately after the film ended and did not stay back for the discussions, as I normally do. But I have no regrets watching this movie, because only in comparison with such bad films, can you appreciate the script, score, editing and acting in a good film.

Today was the deadline for my column and I haven't made much progress in last 2 days. But feeling confident about tomorrow.

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.
