Such a lovely time

You know I was longing for this time when I could feel and say to myself that "I have no other option but to be in library".

Clearly, it is with no bad feelings that I have to go to the library but the truth is, I love to be in the library. Especially, in that corner or room or zone where I am not known to anybody. When I find that kind of space, a sense of completeness fills me from inside and my focus multiplies. Some people like to read or write in their rooms, classes, labs but I am a library person since my college days. I remember all my preparations for GATE, CSIR have been done being in the library. Still these days when I have to write Journal articles I find solace in the library and then the result is just awesome.
One more thing, off lately my life has been so so busy. I never got my "me" time. This is because most of the times, I used to be in lab and when I come back to my Hall, there you go, friends. Lots of friends. Having said that, I don't mean to sound someone who doesn't like to enjoy their company, in fact I used to have ultimate fun and laughter rounds. But, I always wanted to have that day in my life when I could say, since I have nothing else to do/go..I would
rather prefer to go to the dear library.
Well, since I am here in Sheffield and of course there s no match of the number of my friends between KGP and here, honestly telling, I kind of never felt alone or missing friends. Sounds weird? I don't know. But I always had so much to do. If I am not in lab (I mean after lab hours or during the weekend), either I 'd go to library to finish so many work I already have or go do shopping: my favorite thing. Besides that, how can I forget to mention watching South Park. I think this is the third post where I am mentioning South Park. So you can imagine my obsession. 
Anyways, sitting and writing while in the library, munching Doritos and sipping Cappucino, when it is 6:20 pm and sun still shining bright, I continue to work- being alone, unknown to the world still feeling so good and important.

So Cold

What the fuck is wrong here? Why it's cold when outside its not that much. I need to have a proper temperature to get my brain and body into work. I can't work when I m frigging frozen. It's a Friday and I wanna be with Eric Cartman for the next two days totally. No disturbance, only him and me. It's so cool to be with him. He has become my inspiration. How can he have such an amazing sense of humor, man!
Anyways, at the work front, it seems the wait is not getting over, we waited for the isolates for like 1.5 months, but here everybody is on a holiday, the pretty summers, the stupid British Summers. I thought only Indians were infamous to have that many holidays, but these people here go on holiday like anything. I really wanna do a job here, because I go home only 2 times in a year that too for a week each. But If  I work here, seems I may be rewarded roughly 2 months holiday for the beautiful summers and the cold winters.
My time is getting over quickly, and I wanna finish at least what I started. Let's see if it works. Meanwhile, Eric <3 p="">

Kuch to log kahenge..

There's a famous line from a Hindi movie song which goes like this, "Kuch to log kahenge, logon ka kaam hai kehna". Not minding their own business, they will always poke into others lives and have a say. I guess that's what being social is now-a days. That's what it meant may be when some elders used to say and even I heard in movies, aakhir rehna samaj mein hai hume. Because these people judge and have an opinion about other's lives Today, while reading a news report on Indian express about central govt. employees pensions getting raised, I just scrolled down to read people's comments. I was literally amused to read how conveniently people complained and titled central govt. employees as useless fellows (some even used really bad words for them) and that they don't deserve it. Seriously, so amused to read that. My father too is a retired central govt. employee and I have seen him not coming home for every 4-5 months because he was posted in highlands of Kashmir (even during Kargil war), Maoist prone North-East zones. Coming home after months was a usual routine in our house. We were not blessed to see father everyday like those other civilians children do but I am so much proud of him. He has worked in extreme environments from Kashmir's minus degree temperatures to facing Rajasthan Badhmere's intense desert heat, and many others like my father in the same fashion. And when knowing all this, you read some people calling these central govt. employees names is what really disturbs you. May God give them wisdom!.
Similarly, read another news article today where MTV VJ Bani shared how people have bodyshamed her for having a muscular body. This was specially she faced in India whereas abroad she was much appreciated for her hard work-out. Without knowing anything, and mattering to the person per se, people just open their mouth to speak shit most of the times. I have seen in the IIT itself. It is expected that people in IIT are educated and therefore supposed to have common-sense, alas, they all do the same. Bicker! It seems this is their only way of having fun.
