Randomness and I have been like Siamese twins all these years.
Now, I wake up every morning to see my clock blink 7:10
Breakfast at 8:15.
Nandini waving bye from our balcony at 8:25.
Driving my spark via Kottur to see the same school bus turning at the same corner at 8:30.
Sign attendance register at 8:40.
I see more positives here.
-Now I get enough rest being inside campus.
-Driving 100kms every day around Chennai's scenic roads : no more :-)
-Nandini is busy with Mellinam Education
-More time for Tamil related research.
-I get to see energetic students with smiles all around the campus.
-The feeling I get after a good lecture.
-Three large cups of green tea every after noon.
-Snacks from Krishna Sweets during every PhD viva.
-Organizing events.
That list can run even longer I guess.
I should find some time in evenings and weekends for other creative activities that I have been doing 24/7.
I still cannot believe this has happened to me.
Quite unable to see myself as an Assistant Professor here in this University.
The place where I used to be the 'naughtiest' student ever [Thanks: Dr. Ranjani Parthasarathi].
The place where I convinced most of my lecturers to cancel classes for exams/movies.
The place where I fell madly in love with Nandini.
I never try to predict where life is going to take me next.
Now that I have a role to play with huge responsibilities, I am going to see what's the best that i can do.
omg!.. its 3:00 now.
Green Tea Time. :-)

You wake up daily at 7:10am????? I'll be wating for my bus at that time. Its really great to hear that you are doing tamil related researches. Do you have any idea like starting a school for tamil literature, like how bharadwaj opened a school of music????? It will be nice if you do it...

//Assistant Professor // :-) Well done! What else can I say! Words are the "usage" in father and son's avocation's.
//fell madly in love with Nandini// Were you a student then or what?
I have met some Electrical Dept. Assoc. Professor's.
Suggesting you do something, in terms of "green" energy stuff.
