So, after spending a week long vacation at my home in Delhi, I have returned to kgp on 8th. As always, the next one week is gonna be real dull and filled with homesickness and of course my efficiency for work will touch the bottom. Alas, I have no option. So, a day later we have our fortnight lab presentation. Thank heavens, I had already carried out an experiment for determining the boundary conditions of CO2 studies with my algae. I can present this data in the ppt. Friday evening from 5:45, it (ppt) started and went up to 9 pm. Ok, we have some latest movies put up in Netaji Auditorium every Friday and this Friday it was Bang Bang. I wanted to watch it but every time it happens so that all the good movies are showcased on the same Friday with my presentation. I sure missed it but I am planning to watch it on Sunday. [Sunday they have a student show at 9 am..yeah am :( but still I will go]
Its always good to download any movie from the internal LAN DC++ of our institute but watching a movie with your friends at Netaji is super fun. Not for the theater experience, since it is just a auditorium with not a hifi sound system..but the overall experience is always good every time I watch a movie there. I remember watching a crappy movie called "LUCK" once during my M.Tech..it was such a horrible movie but all the comments of fellow students made it an out-of-the-blue experience. So I simply go there for a good laugh. Anyways! I know I have absolutely deviated from my thought that I started this post with.
Down the memory lane..yes..its a Saturday afternoon, I am in my room with a hot cup of tea and outside its drizzling. The weather is pleasant and mood is relaxing. I have tons of work but I will not do any. Because this whole set up makes me memorize all the beautiful times that I had..meeting so many people with their distinct personalities. All of them have taught me something or other. I am thankful for all my enemies,friends and well wishers. But what I have realized is that everyone is selfish in one way or other (including myself). Obviously, you want good for you and your family so being a little selfish will not do any harm. It's good actually. But after I heard the news of Kailash Satyarthi getting the Noble Peace Prize 2014, it really knocked me down with a feather.
Some people have dreams and they pursue it. I am so glad to know that there still are people in this world who think of others before them. This is inspiring and motivating. I didn't know about him before he got the Nobel. Definitely this is not a good thing. He is someone who is not as young as the 17 yr old Malala, but he started the crusade against Child servitude from 1980. Giving up a lucrative career (He was an Electrical Engineer) for a cause like this is not an easy task. He must be driven with great enthusiasm. His perseverance, patience and persistence have got him the most prestigious Nobel Prize after three decades. Congratulations!
