Hot days and heated up times...

Delhi Summers are finally here!! if you ask me they are pretty much like those pathetic lectures by dumb prof.s who also happen to have the hardest attendence policies!! yup, they ll come n you just cant avoid them.. no proxying, no bunking and no way to get rid off them!! (we have a fair share of those in IIT!(-_-)

Summers are pretty much like that.. you just cant fly away; my top floor room becomes a pressure cooker by the time morning starts diffusing into the scary afternoons... most of the time i just ditch my beautiful hot single room and end up in the reading room or library and at night i go and sleep in the common room of our hostel. I am pretty homeless right now actually and its fun living that way; i dont know why but it is!! i guess at times life seems sexier when you switch your survival strategies and take on a different way of staying alive but whatever it is i still dont see myself falling in love with delhi summers anytime sooner in next 2 years.. after these 2 years i ll never come back to delhi again just like i ll never go back to my home town to 'settle' or 'stay'(i mean i do like visiting my home though!) 

I feed on change; There is just so much to live and there is such less time.. the world is so big, I still dont understand why homo sapiens love caging themselves in a bounded region for there entire lives........ . . 

But then again i guess this time i have definitely decided to take on the whole dry,dirty and hot delhi summers head on! (even though i know its going to be like dancing on the frying pan! you cant keep your feet for long and the whole thing looks like a dance but then again, it really isnt!) 

I have decided to stay back at IIT Delhi to do my internship under Prof. Ravishankar. He happens to be one of the two good theoretical physicists of our hopeless physics department with people working in applied and experimental fields (stupid people, they still think manupulating nature and using her ways for the betterment of man kind is more important then understanding nature and why she is the way she is...)

But then who cares about them; i am dead locked on what i want to do and i dont think the worthless system has what it takes to stop me.. and yeah, there ll always be distracting big stamps and tags to bug you.. as for example 'The Foreign Intern'

Yeah, iniially I was very excited about it but then i realized that the people who were actually taking us are just a bunch of experimentalists looking for lab assistants... 

I know it would have been fun.. the world abroad, the foreign lands beyond the indian horizons, new places to explore, new people to know,new friends to hang out with, newer tastes of food n wine..  newer ways to discover the world... almost a dream come true but i guess at times self-discovery requires a step back rather than a step ahead towards useless tags...

The most important thing that the tag of IIT taught me is to not run after useless tags.

I tried in lots of places and did get a few. One applied physicist in Imperial College of London was giving me some modelling work on plasma physics and photonics but then whats the point of modelling a bunch of equations that i still dont completely get, right??
Eventually the whole point of IIT Delhi is to use all the basic physics courses and as many maths courses as i can to build up a strong base in theory. Once i am able to do that i can go abroad  for Higher studies in Theoretical Physics after i am done with my btech. 
So eventually if everything goes righ setting the sails for the world beyond the Indian horizons will not really be a herculean task and of course the tag of IIT will come handy. But if you ask me if  I am not able to develope a strong base in physics then there is no point of trying for higher studies in theoretical physics; I dont want to be a physicist just by big degrees n tags.. 
So after a lot of to and fros in my heart my mind finally settled down to stay back now. After all its a high time that i get back to physics and i get back to physics in style.

So yeah I am staying back with Ravishankar's Super Symmetrical Quantum Mechanics and Delhi's hot summers along with really great physics courses coming next sem... and i dont regret it a bit.

And as for the near future, my majors are coming up and there are loads of stuff to catch up with! 

Guess the hot Delhite days are bringing along with it real heated up times.. and yup, no backing down this time.

dude looks philosophical, right?!

thats what a guy told me when i decided to stay back!:D
