I'm going home in about nine days. I love that city -the people, the weather and the nostalgia. It's a laid back Mumbai. Nobody is ever in a hurry. And everyone has time for good conversation. You get Carslbergs there, and the water tastes like wine.
Folks there are a little spoiled though. It's 24 degrees at this time of the year, and people are whining. Ahmedabad climate annoys me. It is humid and scorching hot 9 months of the year, and unbearably cold for 2.5 months. There are two weeks in October when you can venture outdoors. Today, I went to watch The Expendables in a theatre at the other end of town. And it was in Hindi! This would never happen in Bangalore. Hell, we'd probably have riots if something like that happened. And they'd beat up all the Tamil speaking people again. Anyway, we eventually found a PVR that was screening it in English. And the movie was incredible -there was enough testostorone oozing out of that screen to turn MJ into a man. Brainless mindless action + cliched oneliners from the 80s = 10 on 10 in my books.
I've been meaning to put in another entry for 1,266 days now. Chemical Engineering makes you become lazy and procrastinate. It is 4 years of learning one equation: in - out + generation = accumulation. There are different ways of writing this equation, and that's what the four years are for. With a little bit of integration and differentiation, you can turn that innocuous little equation into
Once upon a time, people could get PhDs for stuff like this.
Second year of MBA is very very relaxed. I have finally gotten time to do all the stuff I have wanted to do for years, but haven't really had the time for. Sikkim is an idea that might happen next term. Right now, I've backlogged way too much work, though. To get started on studying, I glugged down a Red Bull, saw a scene from 'Remember the Titans' to get pumped up, and sat down to read 'Nagle & Hogan'. No use. This book is a horse tranquilizer.
