I've started reading Ayn Rand's "The Fountainhead" when I should have been reading Operating Systems and Microprocessors ! Supposed to have a lab. sessional on 'Advanced Programming' tomorrow.. the intent to study is defintely there, but the drive seems amiss. Apart from these trivial issues, my major concern is something of a larger proportion - No, its not the troubling situation in Pakistan or the terror in Nandigram - its more grotesque - its my protruding tummy. Looks like its destined to manifest itself into a more sizable portion of my anatomy. There is no dearth as far as the initiatives of change are concerned, the persistence is lacking - just as it is with millions of people of the 'about to be obese' brotherhood. Have plans of materializing more on my plans, but nothing is easier done than said.
Meanwhile, I took time from my supposedly busy schedule and saw OSO(Om Shanti Om for the few who are wondering) yesterday. Actually, entertainment is a very high priority activity and Farah Khan shares this line of thought with me. Ok, if you think I am going a little over the top, then it might be the other way round i.e. I'm convinced when Farah Khan wants me to convince that a package containing everything from comedy to reincarnation is entertaining.
Something very interesting that happened recently during my microprocessor lab. sessional exam a couple of days back. I resorted to (traditionally) unfair means of taking the programs with me in my cell and could successfully finish what I was supposed to write. So, my egoist half taken care of, I was ready to let the altruist in me take over and help those in need. Did help a couple of guys, and one of them actually gave me a gift in the evening. Now, this is what I call a true expression of gratitude. I'll treasure the pen as a souvenir of his nature and as a token of his appreciation.
Even if I don't do so well in tomorrow's exam, I'll have one reason to be cheerful... atleast the weather is great !!!
