Later Gator !

I don't even know what was I thinking , when I decided to wander into the lab in the morning. Like I have ever got any work done on a sunday ! Well maybe ,the one time when I had a conference abstract due and I had to get atleast one experiment done , so I could write and send something by 5 pm on monday :-D

Yeah procrastination : thats what I do for a living ! For me , if anything that needs to be done can wait ...then let it wait !. I actually have one of those magnetic stickers that says " I do my work at the same time, everytime; the last minute " :-)I even put it up on my work bench in the lab , until my adviser came across it one day and gave me one of those 'no-wonder' looks . I have moved it to my room since .

Somehow I get the general impression that procrastination is a very common desi fever . Have seen the symptoms in almost all my friends. Its always dilly-dallying till the last day (or even hrs amongst the most (over)confident junta) and then there is a delirious scampering to finish the assigned task. I have to say I have'nt come across many non-desi junta who share my excitement for the last minute adrenalin pumping thrill I get scurrying around with one eye on the watch.

Be it to attend the dreaded 8.30 am Immunology class back in IIT (that class deserves a whole blog by itself...but later ! ) , or the 9.40 pm movie at the mall on a friday night in Iowa city.

I guess some things just don't change. To my credit , I was on time for my wedding (did'nt miss the muhurat there ) :-D
