Day 52


Day 52 (10th November)

Immersed in correcting answer books, I experienced 8 of the Navarasas. Couple of answers were unexpectedly clever and made me squeal in delight. But many of them wracked my nerves as I struggled to decipher the handwriting and decode the logic. I am lenient not to dock marks for bad presentation. Sadly, I spotted some clear evidence of cheating. It makes me angry and disappointed. I cannot let this pass. An honest human being is more important than a dishonest engineer in my value system. I am not sure how I want to handle this.

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.
