It's been an interesting week. It started off on Monday (yes, I just pulled a Rebecca Black) when I did my laundry and hit the gym simultaneously. I lost track of time, so got there barely in time before they closed down, otherwise my clothes would have been stuck overnight.
Anyway, just as soon as I leave, it starts pouring. And I'm not talking about some ordinary rain here, it was raining cats and dogs. Naturally, I waited for some time, but there was no sign of the rain subsiding. It just kept getting stronger. I lost my patience and decided to Rambo it. And I actually felt like Rambo.
Imagine a scene in a Rajnikanth, with the hero running through the rain, carrying a heavy bag over the shoulder, with bad guys chasing him. That was what was running through my head. Once I reached the guest house, I was soaked, but I felt a warm satisfaction inside me, as if I had won.
Things are starting to pick up on the work front. I've read a few interesting papers that have begun to put things into perspective and I can formulate vaguely what I'll do later. But that also means I have to work quicker to finish my current task to move on.
The gym here is pretty good and quite a lot of people use it, which adds a good atmosphere to it. Most of them are friendly and willing to chat a bit. So the routine that I've been trying to get into is to hit the gym after work, and then go straight for some dinner (and juice.....I wonder though, does fresh juice give as much nutrition as fruits??? hmm...) I'm avoiding lassi now, because after drinking it at one of the food courts on campus, I decided there is no other place on campus that can serve such a good lassi.
Many of the old interns have started to leave, and next week, we'll be one of the oldest generation (if you can call it that), still remaining. Feels kinda weird in a way...
Yesterday also went to watch Hangover 2. I have mixed feelings about it. The bearded guy (Alan) really annoyed me, and I feel the movie could have been so much better without him (or if his character wasn't so childish) As for the people complaining that it portrays Thailand in a really negative light...well guys, face it. That aspect of Bangkok does exist, and even if we don't want to acknowledge it, we still have to admit it. But I also agree, there are ALOT of positive aspects of Bangkok, yet this isn't the style of movie to portray that. This is a movie which would make money by picking on the stereotypes, and honestly, it sells! Can't do much about that. We just have to encourage our family/friends to visit Bangkok and we can show them how awesome it is, first hand =)
Well, that's about it for now! Really looking forward to this weekend, Hyderabad! =) Will make sure I take my camera (and not take random pictures of trees, skies, floors and god knows what hahahah)
