I have been somewhat irregular with the blog for the last few days. Thinking of an excuse… what would that be? Well, I started working a bit these days. Yesterday I went looking for my PS2 (remember, the rendering competition… no? oh well).. and after a few emails here and there, a few knocks on even fewer doors, it seems that there is a bright chance for me to have it by next week.

So what did I do last couple of days? Worked a lot on a research problem in which I am beginning to think progress is nearly impossible. I had a meeting with my advisor today, and after that I have some more ideas which I will pursue in the next few days.

Thats more or less all for academics. Other than that, I watched a bollywood flick (few months old) “Saadi Ka Laddoo”. What am I turning into? The people who knew me in my pre-IITK and IITK days, would know Siddhartha and Usual Masala Bollywood Flicks don’t go hand in hand. But look at me now – voraciously devouring any movie that comes along. Whatever, I like this change. Even though this movie was a stupid one, it certainly made me laugh a number of times – and that made the 2.5 hours worthwhile. Actually more than worthwhile, because even a simple thing like “laugh” (not ‘love’ by the way… that has its own story) is gradually (I feel) slipping away from my life.

Last but not the least: DooM. I have been playing it more or less daily… for morr or less one hour/one-and-a-half hour. Usually it had 20+ hours of playtime, but I am playing really slow. I should be able to finish it by the end of this week. Today I entered Delta Labs, and left it there. I will play later…..
