I admit that I am writing this post under generous influence of compounds made up of single hydroxyl group with varying numbers of methyl group. But sometimes these compounds can help you in disseminating truth at an easier rate and never let you feel embarrassed, atleast at the time of writing ;).
So what do I have to say today. Its been a long day and the major achievement for today was the hair cut and head massage from the saloon nearby. And I talked with my cousin's wife whose son, i.e my nephew, celebrated his 28th day today. He marks the arrival of next generation in my dad's family and I feel more older now. Yes I am an Uncle now and I am totally elated. As has been the practice for the past few days, I went out for my evening walk and came back all fresh. In between all these, the routine activities of signing the roll muster, paying visit to computer lab, regular dosage of FB and afternoon nap was all done.
Evenings in IIT during December can be very tricky. Mess food is seriously lacking the quality that you always end up eating outside. And so we started on our journey to a new hotel in the neighbourhood. The ambience in the Restaurant was too good and we were watching the ODI match between India and WI. It didn't take us much time to decide on the poison for the day and to our surprise all that is associated with this ritual were supplied for free by them. Truly, it was a lucky day for us. What else can you expect on an outing - Good poison, nice food and wonderful ambience allowing you to relax.
With this background I think its time to step into matter at hand. So what do I think of matters which rest in my hand? As of now nothing. May be constant iterations about the topic may be swinging me slightly towards a favourable stand on it. But what are the things I should be considering critically:
1) How should the stage be set ?
2) What should be the expectations?
3) What if the ?
4) How will I ensure that the discussion remains within the limits regardless of the outcome?
5) What is the next step if it is positive?
6) Is this undue attention really needed?
Well answer to Q1 would be extempore. You have to make use of the situation at hand and make maximum out of it. And this will be the hardest part, as I am not so confident of extempore when it comes to this realm.
Q2 is very clear for me. It is 10:90 for me in terms of percentages. So there should never be high hopes.
Q3 is the one part which I haven't figured out till now. For anyone else, it will be easy to say that we have to move on, but for me its not the case. The primary situation that it is not fully rising out of deep feeling is what makes it tricky. The case is more or less built up based on regular mocking and jokes among us and ofcourse some rumours.
Q4 is more or less based on the trust factor. If there is enough courage to accept the outcome, whatever it is, this question becomes irrelevant.
Q5 is something for which preparations have not been made. Will have think of all that in case of that eventuality, which is again highly unlikely.
Q6 Now that everything is back to normal, I feel that whatever I have written till now is a big comedy. No one would have ever made so much fuss about such a silly matter, leave alone blog. Good thing is that the viewership to this blog is very limited which makes it not so important. I think this should be left at the hands of fate, in whatever form it presents itself. I am not so keen on pressing it much further at this juncture. There is no point in doing so. I am pretty sure that the result will not be favourable and whatever is left of this campus life will be a horrible journey in that case for me. Why to waste precious six months that is never going to come back?
So Moral of the Story: Lets live the life with all the freedom for another six months and let us see what future has in store for me.
