Lot of time since my last entry. Probably because I have nothing much to do now, one of the unavoidable side-effects of suffering from the varicella-zoster virus, or for the normal homo sapien, chickenpox. Being shut up in my home for around 2 weeks, I hope you realize what it means.
"Ahhh" the doctor realised it as soon as I went to her "chickenpox.. haven't had it till now?" she started with this sentence and a wide casual smile on her face as if it was my fault. "Two weeks complete isolation" was her order, and I thought she was joking. Now I realise she wasnt! "Take all the certificates you want.. they'll get you the attendance" yeah.. now she was talking business! Two weeks of official bunk.. it seems my constant complaints of the really short (I mean it.. just 6 days!) break after the exams finally fell on the ears of the almighty, and he could spare some time to answer it.
But no.. as it turned out, it wasn't the kind of break I wanted. No going out of the house, no meeting with friends, complete weakness, face looking like the surface of the moon, and add to that a crashed graphics card ensuring I can't play any games too... these bring me back to the point I'm writing this entry - boredom! The only good thing it did to me was let me fulfill my entire year's sleep (I was literally dozing for around 15 hours a day for a few days in the beginning! :P)
And now as it is slowly retarding with things getting back to normal slowly, a sudden realization strikes me - I have to give GATE in a week's time! Although seriously preparing for it wasn't in my mind anytime - I only wanted to give it this time for practice, the next attempt being the real serious one - still the temptation of the score being valid for 2 years and the fact that the form cost me 1000 bucks were playing at the back of my mind. So a decision was taken (mostly to kill off time!) to start studying for it.
To get some inspiration (probably more satisfaction that someone is in the same state as you.. the best feeling at these times!), I called up another guy (Mihir) in my class who was giving GATE. As he blabs to me that he's finished Control Systems, Electronics and Networks, I realize this wasn't such a good idea! Goodbye to Mihir follows with a greeting to Mr. Ogata - time to start preparing now!
