Hmmm...Heaving a huge sigh of relief...
What a week it was: Sit-and-Study-at-home job for 8 days; No office work; Mid-sem Exams over the weekend; "Bheemana Amavasya" celebrations; Solar Eclipse on Friday; Visit of Rayara Math Seer to the house on Sunday, the D-day. All blissful events and some really, really, really nervous and tense moments! :-)
The most fascinating and long-awaited event, perhaps, was the mid-sem exams of my first sem MS Program. While I did reasonably well in 3 papers off the total 4, I couldn't do so in the 4th. Data Structures and Algorithms, per se, is a tough course. BITS, Pilani did a Marat-Safin-act in framing "Data Structures and Algorithms" question paper (For the uninitiated: Marat Safin is a Tennis player from Russia who is known for his tennis game that's so much unpredictable that he, sometimes, ends up beating the best players in the world at major tennis tournments, let alone the contradiction he makes for his game some other times when he loses to an incompetent tennis player!). Unpredictable questions, that, too, from the relatively less-scoped text of the book. My hopes of getting a respectable grade in the course rest on the comprehensive exams to be held during September last week.

Well, the last few weeks of intense academic activities have made me realize that a Masters degree, no matter whether it's offered in Distance Learning mode or Regular or Correspondence modes, keeps one really busy. Evident is the fact that, I'm writing a post, after such a long time, on my blog, although I'd made up my mind to frequently post wanderings of my mind on this blog!
Ooofff....Will pause now...Gotta catch up with some relaxation;Long time, you see!
