Cribs, feel-goods.

My social life is coming to a standstill. I hardly ever hang out, spend time, chit-chat, go to social networks. I cannot believe I did all this through the days of my PhD. Being a post-doc is definitely very different, I am only now finding out. I seem to get hardly any time any more. The week goes past me. In spite of being in the most amazing locality on the face of this earth, I hardly go out. There is always more to do than what I have done. Partly this can be ascribed to my inefficiency. But that cannot be all. It must be that there is just too much to do. And at the end of the day I get so darn tired!

On the up side, the TIFR campus is indeed worth staying in for long stretches of time. Yes, there is colaba out there just in the backyard, which I am not managing to visit as often as I would have liked. But who cares? I can always look at this sea and the landscape. Also, I am getting pleasures of figuring out small little new things everyday. This is exceptional and I am loving it. I must post about some simple puzzles again. But that's for later. I get to go home and see my parents often. Again not as often as I would have liked. But much much more than when I was away.

Life has changed a great deal.

At a similar phase in my life in the past, I have taken my hobby of reading to the next level and made it a habit. Now I cannot sleep without reading a page. The proceses of discovering what unwinds you itself it a destressing act.
