that was then... this is NOW!

hmmm... So much has changed since that first craptastic blog! For starters... my cute li'l DNA have started behaving themselves and been giving some awesome results! One of which took me to Mexico almost!!! :D

My prof has loosened his hold over me and has let me take a whole month off!!!! So am all "YIPPPPEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!" all the time these days! There are very few things that can get me low these days!

That was the bright side of things... on the ... darker side(?!)... I have ended up losing one very good friend... I wish we could see eye to eye on a few issues and get bak together... time will tell... (sigh! i so do miss her!!!!... but she comes with a package that I don't like and don't get along with...)

My life has changed... since the last blog... I have grown. Better or worse?! Hell! It's my blog... obviously for the better!

I act like am not... but deep down... am a geek! I see the Physics... Chemistry and Biology in everything! I have to analyze... I just have to! Call me boring... I say... U jst not my type! (that's a lot more diplomatic and sounds better!)

I feel and kinda know, that am FINALLY understanding what standing up for oneself means... and also comprehending the consequences of it! Hurts sometimes... (talking abt the friend here...) but u can only do as much as u can...

The BIG question in my head is... y am i stuck with writing blogs abt myself rather than abt 'guy-gurl' issues or... 'movies in B(K, T)ollywood' or... 'Ballroom dances' that we know u haven't been to! well... the above mentioned are things that i talk about to people who care to listen... and what I write is stuff that I DO NOT talk about to people even if they did care to listen... Bitchy???! I would prefer Introvert...

The nice man who pays wants me at work... so till the next blog (bordering on narcissism...)... take care all!

My first blog!

Let's see... I am so frustrated with everything happening around me that I needed a let out that wouldn't really bother anyone... so here I am...
*WARNING*: I love long sentences...

I am an eternal optimist who believes "If anything can go wrong, it will!" ... Murphy's laws... I guess that makes me sound an eternal pessimist... but then again I truly truly believe that if you put in enough effort there is nothing that cannot be done! So that kinda sums up how I work.

Am in the US of A... the land where dreams come true! Honestly, it doesn't feel too different than home ... Chennai, India. The people I meet are different, the places I go to are different, the experiences are different. But that's it. The people are the same... hardworking... same expectations of life... This has led me to conclude that people at large are the same world over! Everybody's looking for a friendly face in everybody. People... think that's something for a completely different blog!

Let's not lose focus here... my complaints on life...

Am doing my Masters in the US... and Life sux! I work for a prof who is into nanotechnology. I sometimes wonder of he knows what he wants out of the whole thing! Then I realise, maybe it's me who hasn't quite grasped it all.
My prof... a nice guy... a nice person. But he won't let me go home for a decent period of time and that's bugging the life out of me! Doesn't he realise, that even if he did force me to stay here longer, my performance would be below zero b'cause I would be sulking so!? I am yet to convince him on that. I am just too scared thinking he will ask me to take a walk and not come back!!!

My experiments aren't doing much to support me either. They just won't work the way they are supposed to! Or maybe it's me! I am trying my best to prove that the fault is not at my end... no thanks to anyone on this.

I am bored of going to the lab everyday and returning back with absolutely no results. One thing stays constant though, that my prof doesn't think too much of me. That has not really changed for over 6 months now.
I seem to be right in every experiment that I come up with... to prove my assumptions wrong. To prove myself right... I haven't gotten a single experiment yet!!! (sulk!)

I am pissed. With the world at large! That's me today... at this moment.

I go out of my lab and see a squirrel, a bird, a hornet, my favorite janitor or technician and am all happy and spritely again! Doesn't take too much to get my spirit down... but on the bright side it doesn't take much to get my spirits soaring high again!!!! :)
