Facebook precedes Blogging

well the reason i'm not blogging much these days is due to the emergence of Facebook.Its much easier to reach a wider section of people posting daily updates on oneself than writing a para on Blogpost which not many read...
Lack of readership is another reason which discourages me from blogging.

Anyway I wont be disappearing from Blogpost.Will update about the important happenings in my life here from time to time...

97th Indian Science Congress

Had a superb time at the 97th ISC at Trivandrum...
Apart from the science exhibits and lectures the most exciting part of my whole trip was the buffet breakfast lunch and dinner provided there...
Was lucky enough to have got the hostel accomodation...The place for the gastronomic delights was just a stone's throw away...

Coming to the poster presentation which we did,it went off very well with many senior ISRO officials appreciating our work!!!But the best thing I took away from the conference was the spirit of participation.An old man aged around 70 had come from Kolkata with his design of a ladder mechanism to climb trees.Its precisely these things which inspire us and motivate us to come up with something better each time we get onto the field!

The train journey was all the more exciting with 2 of our friends having unreserved tickets playing cops n robbers with the TT...But at last they managed to sleep in our compartment.SVCEians don't accept defeat whether its a professor or TT...Victory is always ours...

Say hello to 2010 and Goodbye to 2009

Well another year comes to an end and another starts.
Don't know how this cycle keeps on going.The last year breezed by so quickly that before I realised its 2010.

2009 hasn't been that great a year for me but I hope to make amends in 2010 by making it the best year till now in my life.(well that's the resolution we do take in the beginning of the year isn't it?) I just understood how great people can be in the previous year.People whom we think are the closest to us turn out to be our bete noire!So its not worth it spending our time thinking about such people cos the more we dwelve into others' minds the more we lose our own identity.The more we think why the other person hurt us,the more we hurt ourselves.The bottom line is that some people never change no matter how hard we try.Hope they eventually realise our worth and make amends.

Very excited about the Indian Science Congress '10 which I'll be attending in Trivandrum this week.Will update on the event once I'm back from it.
