The summer heat

This is just to inform all my faithful readers (and those of you who have wandered here by dire accident) that the weather in Delhi is as fickle as the heart of a bumble bee! There was a time not so long ago, when a human being could walk for a kilometer in the middle of the day without going insane, but today, it took a herculean effort to just get to the cyber-cafe just behind my hostel! I'm absolutely sure I've darkened three shades during this short walk.

This is also to inform you all that life is going to get extremely busy in the next few days. Classes have shifted into third gear, and one particular professor had used the strangest metaphor when he described his course. He compared our class with pregnancy! Where after we go through a painful struggle for over 4 months, we'll produce material that we will be proud of for a long time! As a half-baked academician, I'm not so sure if I want that for myself. But let's see how things move on!

I'd rather get a job for myself as soon as possible. In this modern version of Survival of the Fittest, I'll soon have to get into a state of economic stability, at least after I finish my Degree. Hope to find some new avenues to gain work experience, and new contacts, by the time a month is up. But for that I have to start looking! The smarter among my readers would have found out by now that I am not that kind of a person. But well, if I can walk for 3 kilometers in the hot Delhi sun without kissing the ground even once, I should be able to do this too!
