Herd of Human!

Is there any factor in this world which can make the entire human race to go in a definite direction? To make everyone to agree on something, even people from the same school or a family have different opinions which influence their decisions. I still wonder what made me decide to leave the family and India when everyone around me was not supporting my decision, was that to escape from problems or the quest to discover the unknown world...I don’t know what made me the black sheep, well! I don’t regret for being one, but often wonder how the life would have been if I were a white sheep! We still don’t know about the factors controlling our life and the decisions that we make. But this latest article shows the factor which controls the grazing habit of the cattle around the world. With the help of Google earth they have found out that the cattle always graze aligning North-South. We humans so different from our counterparts in the animal kingdom enjoy this unpredictability!

Me and my laptop!

Spending my days like this, staring at and sleeping with my laptop! Rest of the time of course eating with friends and bonding with little Adi, finally he is recognizing me, that really makes me feel top of the world! Paris is almost half empty! Well thanks to the friends and visitors who are making it half full! yes! still meeting new people! unfortunately short one! let me get back to chase my deadlines!

Food for deadlines!

Sorry! I have to contradict myself again when it comes to Parkinson’s Law. Well ! as my official lab works and deadlines are growing in my limited time left for my PhD completion, my personal works and commitments are shrinking drastically. Specially in spite of having busy schedule at work, thanks to my friends who are providing me with delicious home food from Micha’s delicious German salads, Alberto’s "pasta alla siciliana", Tiziana's "frittelle di riso" (obviously Italian) to Poonam , Vas and Meena contributing to flavours of India and the French desserts.... Well! Yesterday was Vas turn to make this big dinner in his own artistic environment, nice food and good laugh will help me going with my deadlines! Thanks to all!

Parkinson’s Law

Parkinson’s Law states "work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion» We can see this law works very well in Indian government offices, even the derived form of this law "Data expands to fill the space available for storage" works very well with my laptop; few months back 160 gb hard disc was full, after upgrading it to 320gb its still overflowing. But why the inverse of this law is not holding true! Especially in my case, my work never shrinks with the very limited deadlines I have. So, today’s little prayer, “please make the inverse of Parkinson’s law work for me! “

Les grandes eaux nocturnes

Yesterday Paris was blessed with one sunny day in between the horrible rainy summer. Me and my friends made full use of it by having picnic in the grand royal gardens of Versailles, to add more grace to the sunny day there was grand light, music, water and fireworks show. It was amazing to see such a majestic garden with lights and 18th century music. Well! Today Paris is back to its normal grey weather, anyways who needs the sun, when I have to spend the whole day at work!
