Just when I was beginning to feel , may be this blogging craze is going last for a longer than expected season...boom , its gone. I am beginning to feel the enthu levels slowly dying. I guess some people never change . But then it could also be that I simbly ODed my way from blogdom to boredom. Only time will tell .

My life so far .....since friday i.e

Friday after a night of the usual catch-up-with-the-sorority/gossip/bitching session over fruity cosmopolitans, I hit the sack around 3 in the a.m.

Saturday morning, technically...noon, over a steaming mug of elaichi chai, i sat down to pore over a 35 page grant proposal . Someone's got to do the dirty work of pointing out all the silly mistakes the boss makes in his write-up ...the devil that I am, how could I give up on this opportunity ? (that and also the fact that boss himself plonked the document on my table with one line 'by sunday evening ').

Anyhooo, I did relish scribbling huge circles around typos, writing my intellectually BS comments all over the place ...he he , especially made sure I had my crimson red gel pen with me handy ...You should see those research reports I get back from the boss every semester end, so battered and bruised that I can barely manage to recognise those sentences I had so painstakingly and groggily typed at 2 in the morning...oh u bet ...revenge is sweet !!!

After some real serious scribbles for about 2 pages , I lost interest eventually. Sunday evening was still more than 24 hours away ...no worries !!! Dashed off to the lab , did some sample collections. Evening had a "dosa party" as a farewell for one very pregnant girlfriend, who was finally wrapping up her doctorate and joining her hubby for good. Oh ...happy stories make me sooo senti...*sniff sniff*. I attempted to show-off my malluistic attitude with some major claims on the lines of ..."oh dosas ...here let me show you how to make some nice crispy ones ". To put a long story short, I was royally kicked away from the smoking stove and the burnt pile of dough I had ended up with. In my defense ...I can only work my charm and make 'em crispy if I do the whole procedure myself , besides I just cannot concentrate with hazaar people around !! Party was loads of fun ...with crispy brown dosas with globs of aloo sabzi, yummy chutneys, spicy sambar. Its funny how desi parties are always about eating and antaksharis :-)

Tried very hard at reading some more of that grant at night ...gawd it was soooo boring. I would probably written that in there, if my degree was'nt at stake !!

Sunday evening after some serious headache inducing concentration, finished it !!!

Monday was pretty darn hectic ...started a whole new set of experiments ...which translates to less time I can spend playing literati :-(( .

Lord .....Mercy ....I had the worst working day of my life today ..oh yeah , have been thru worse lazy days . Two of my experiments bombed big time ...now that makes 4 expts that I have to troubleshoot and get it working before I can even dream of graduating ....oh I am sooooo sad , i could eat a whole grilled chicken burger with french fries and a coke...ok ok diet coke :-((((
