World cup is so much screwing up my schedule...not that i am the sincerest of students......but i do feel like working once in a while and its sooo tough getting up in the morning after watching matches well past sunrise......and being a cricket enthusiast wanting to watch other teams play does not help much.....on monday i spent the night watching Australia vs Pakistan.....was great to see Pakistan lose...as always....but i just did not get up the next morning on time...sleeping at 7.00 a.m after watching Australia bat did not help much..another good thing was that atleast, i ended up experiencing the joys in a sunrise after a long time....aisa nahi to vaisa....so instead of waking up at 9.00 being in school by 11.00 i ended up sleeping till noon....then i realize i was supposed to meet Boss/Dr. G ( my advisor).... at 11.00 and get some corrections verified in a paper we are presenting at a conference.........so i reached late and i went into his office later when he had the time and showed him the paper and apologized for not coming in the morning since it just 'slipped outta my mind' that we had to meet.....he gives me one of those serious looks and i thought i was done for.....and he says..."really Puneri....were we supposed to meet this morning?....i thought we had a meeting scheduled for tomorrow morning!!"......we did have one scheduled for wednesday too....and the one on tuesday was something which he had not made a note of....so if i would not have pointed out my folly i could have gotten away with it.....and boy did i fell like giving myself GPL for that.....but i must admit that he is the most flexible guy to work with....as long as he gets his stuff on time he is happy....and he is ok with giving extensions to deadlines too ...once in a while that is.....not to mention the parties and dinners at his place with good food...lotsa wine and cocktails....those periodic group lunches.....summer picnics........im pretty sure now that you are wondering whether i ever get any work done......am i gonna miss working for such a boss once i get a true job or what?......pehele job milna mangta....then we can do the talking......talk about building castles.....

so have finally decided against watching the New zealand vs West indies match tonite...decided i would retire early......but here i am blogging away to glory listening to some kick ass guitar stuff by joe satriani.....well past my bedtime.......should sleep nahi to maa chilayegi...good night ppl...

ciao and sweet dreams and don't you bite the bugs!!!!!!!
