Tomorrow Never Comes

Procrastination leads to Predicament
Very true statement that - the saying has been reeling in my head for the past fortnight, and may be more...
Also I had been in a circle of procrastinating thoughts about procrastination too!!
Coupled with laziness - it is definitely a recipe for disaster.



For the past few days - my schedule has been pretty much the same; wake up late in the morning, think of MTP and other stuff, push off the work to afternoon, evening, night and then poof - the day is up!
And also it had been days since I went to the lab.
Each day would start with a temporary anxiety - soon to give way for delaying work and apathy. The only warning bell would be a meeting with the Prof - after which it would be back to square one...

"There is always tomorrow" is surely a double-edged sword!
Its time to buck up and try doing some work...
Not that I am going to change immediately - but I have taken a first step by writing down this post - which I had been postponing for many weeks now. Just hoping that it carries over to work as well...

Single Again ;-)


"Room # B-208
Hostel 14
IIT Bombay"
This will be my address for the next one year....

Finally shifted to the new hostel room - and feels good; specially because its a single room....
After many days - things went on as planned - smooth payment of fees, getting mess card done, and moving to the new room.
Of course - no "room-warming" happened, but got the nook cleaned before entering. And moving can be a real pain - realized that for just 3 times up and down and a few steps of walking.
Oh, and took out the lights of the whole wing by accidentally pressing a light switch that was not supposed to be pressed - Kind of a solid entry ;-)

And its great to be 'single' again - no sharing of keys or available space, no adjust-maadi business, no sharing of compartments of the cupboard, no waiting outside the locked door when one forgets the keys inside, no blaming each other for things that may or may not have been because of one another, no talks on who goes to take a bath first or second, no competition on who sleeps later in the night(almost ending up to be an early morning :D), and my personal favorite - no late night fake calls to wake up a snoring roomie!!
So a lot of No's and Yes to one full year of alone life :-)

There are 2 drawbacks though - one, you won't have anybody to talk to if you are bored or want to bore someone, and two - the new hostel room is a tad farther from the department than the old room - so more laziness to fight!!
Oh and also an MTP to be taken seriously !
So Single with a Tingle !!
