Ifs and Buts...

If sunlight could burn fat, I would start looking awwwwwwsum and get back to weighing 50 kg...but that is not to be...

The Earth smells different here...or maybe it just doesn't smell at all...not even when it rains...something what Mordor would smell like if I were a hobbit and if you took pride in being Gandalf...

Anyway, I overate the Laksa today...you don't know what Laksa is? Or may be, I just spelled it wrong...but then, it's a kind of soup...Thai or Chinese, I can't really tell...but it seemed Thai to me...but it must be Chinese...oh whatever!!!

okay..i get it, the picture seems to have no connection with the writing here...but well, can't help it...Dylan is God...he just has to be there when I write anything...on the other hand, it's blasphemy to call him God...

Australia is a place where you buy stuff and return them within a certain period and get your cash back or get some other stuff...I don't know what else you can do here besides studying and shopping and getting drunk...in a way, it sucks!

Anyway, ppl around me just wonder if I ever sleep....well this is the end...dont feel like writing anymore...

oh by the way, "Desolation Row" and "With God on it's side"......i just luuuuuuuuuuuvvvvvvvvv these dylan numbers...

To go or not to go...

it's such an irony...with so many elements of comic relief around the campus, how can anyone guess about the blood-shed of unarmed men and women in some other part of the world??? Women are getting raped in some remote village of West Bengal, and all these happy people due south can at most munch their breakfast reading about it in some newspaper...or not...there's nothing in the newspapers here anyway...only the arrest of Tarek Rahman in Bangladesh created some comic relief during breakfast today...

and this is Thursday night here...people are busy getting drunk on cheap booze at mooseheads...and i spend my worthless insomniac life blogging...splendid...

well not so worthless after all maybe...the quality of education received is what I gain...who knows, may be I'll only be a wasteful investment of the already sucked out, poor third world...

bar hopping...

indecent exposure...

well...ahem...the only indecent exposure I had was that to UV rays...the cocktail I had from Trinity bar was called indecent exposure, consisting of gin, watermelon, herbs...then we went to a couple of worthless bars until we landed at Mooseheads...not bad for a first night out in Canberra...
my friend who was driving us along didn't have a sip of drink, but still got pulled by the cops to have a 'breath test', which she righteously passed...else she would have lost her driving license...

Reflections

The Door...

Another day in Oz-Land...

Just another day passed…it seems like the sequel of Run Lola Run…every morning, I barely pull myself from bed to the loo…then walk like a zombie to the dining hall…grab myself a quick sandwich, and if I am unlucky, the grilling machine won’t toast my bread enough. And if I am any later than 8:30am, which I always am, I miss the good hot stuff…then I have to go through the same cold tuna fish with salad sandwich…but the Lipton tea is good…I never tried the cereals though…will do it, if I wake up early tomorrow morning…

Today I actually found two really heavy Biology books from the Hancock Library…and I am lucky I got to borrow it for 4 weeks. I would have never bought the books otherwise…oh and today I also went for the BBQ of Ekta- an Indian Subcontinent Students’ Association…again, met a girl from Kolkata…Kolkata shotty pichhu charchena…eikhaneo maobad, eikhaneo naxal…aaro koto ki boshe ache amar jonne ke jane…(ami jani ekhon eta porey ekjoner ga-ta gulachhe…tahole tumi glucose guley khao kutu…energy pabe)…Anyway, I met a girl from Bangladesh also…but she was born and brought up in Canberra…and I met a lot of South Indians…they kept on talking of Dosa…but offered me a fag…it felt good, after so long…since the time of the slogans…

Went to the school of psychology to take part in a PhD research project...this lady is doing "Making Poverty History"...there was a group discussion...it seemed like I was the only person talking...apparently she is concerned about Water for Life projects...it's about supplying safe drinking water in developing countries...had to answer a queer set of questionnaires as well...

I find a very strange trend in some students here…especially those who are from Malaysia and Singapore…they seem to be apprehensive of blogging…afraid of revealing…afraid of being in the wrong after writing about known people around…that’s so weird…I never thought of it this way…that I will be uncomfortable if I wrote something strong about somebody…..phew! the whole thing doesn’t register inside me…I can’t think of a life having to curb my straight-forwardness…or not being able to write openly…

There’s an Italian population genetics researcher in my hall…I met his wife today…she is just too beautiful and speaks in this really lovely spanglish accent…she is Mexican...she offered teaching me basics in Spanish…hope it works out…I wanted to learn Spanish so much…just didn’t take it up as an elective for fear of doing badly in assignments and exams…but if I get to learn the basics, I will be able to take up a second semester course in it….damn, shan’t I write about something else…

But what else is there to write…besides that I am studying…at least trying to…

Ki-ta boli aar...

I think I will remain jet-lagged forever...It's 2 am here, and am wide awake. I mean, if you have dinner at 6:00pm, you are bound to fall asleep by 7pm, and then ...well, I just woke up at 9pm...So here am I, blogging...

Last week ladh khe khe chhilam...cos Univesity was closed due to the hailstorm...It looked like it snowed...

Anyway, it was fun yesterday at the Biology lab...the building is named BaMBi, short for Molecular Bio or something...(much better than BoZo, botany and zoology building)...saw my own cheek cells under the microscope...and many other plant cells...the most pointless part was, breaking a hen egg shell, putting the yolk and albumen in a petri dish, and drawing the whole structure...

It seems very x-filish to float around the lab wearing a white coat and goggles...in fact the co-ordinator lady looks better than Dana Scully...

just had a bad dream...hence this blog...now, DONT ASK WHY...
