Today finally the stars and the planets (and the satellites if you wish) have aligned themselves strategically to orchestrate this grand event. The new laptop, the Internet connection, and yours truly are all in the same place at the same time!
It has been one week at TIFR for me. The accommodation is nice and the office too. And that is a white board in my office. (Did I hear someone ask the relevance? Well, if you want to ask such questions you better not be here!)
This evening I am going back home for the weekend. Tomorrow there is a big party. This is a party my parents have arranged because I have come back from Chennai and also because they are happy that I submitted the thesis. I feel strange, embarrassed, but in a good way.
Here is a 'fool'-ish joke I tell at the risk of losing all my friends (would you want to be friends with someone who cracks such jokes? Not unless you are crazy!):
I was taking a walk near the sea in TIFR. I just uttered "sea rocks!" and a friend of mine asked, "yeah, so what about them?"
Ok, on this note, we part (very likely for good).

Complete k joke! I am sure you made it up all by yourself! Which “friend” would stoop to such pathetic levels? But let us not spoil the happy mood all around! Great for you that you are back home and making everyone there happy! Though I am pretty sure there are enough — dare I say dear — things in Chennai that you are missing! :)
By the way, unrelated to all this, what is to explain the fact that Chennai also seems very happy these days?
Oh naw. You are too pretty, intelligent, kind, smart, lively and all that, for your friends to leave you.
LOL
@sps: Ahem, yes I miss you!! :)
@anonymous: Is that Akshay or Beli? In any case, thank you thank you.
@vish: Thanks for visiting. I assume the LOL was for the joke (conveniently)!
Of course you know I didn't mean me! :-) By the way, your profile still says IMSc, Chennai, etc. Change, change!
@sps: Oh yes! Thanks for reminding me to update the profile. I'll do it immediately.
And update your imsc homepage, and copy the contents to your tifr homepage.
I wont leave you because of bad jokes. No i wont.
*lou*
Hey unpred, thankyathankya!!
Now that we are at it, don't you also think that the joke is awesome? :)
This joke is in the innocent category. People leaving you because of this is the last thing you need to worry about.
But, knowing you, I can assure you that you are capable of certain "jokes" that will make people keep a safe distance from you for the rest of their life. I do, and I will.
The previous is an amazing anonymous commenter. Nice way of keeping a distance pal!! By checking the blog I maintain and commenting on it, you sure are keeping a lot of distance :D. Nice joke, no?
Thanks for staying anonymous, though. That way I can keep a distance from you!
That was a fantastically short and hard-hitting reply to the anonymous post!
Oooooh. I think anon proves that venom is available aplenty in the world and can be delivered to your doorstep even without placing an order!!! Very what a!!!
How come only the safety of an anon identity gives him the courage to speak his mind???
Anons - Can't live with or without them.
You are sure you were never a party to anonymous commenting/blogging? Pot calling the kettle black. This exasperates me.
