Moving into my quarters
A few days back, I got residential quarters assigned within the campus. I was extatic to learn that I was assigned quarters next door to Arunn Narasimhan, in apartment D1-56. However, my happiness was short-lived, as Lakshmi informs us that she and Arunn have moved to a larger and better place. Well, such is life!
My quarters still need some renovation in the kitchen, toilet and bathroom. The junior engineer has promised me that the work will be done by Wednesday. As of now, the work hasn’t even started. I am hoping that I get to move and settle in at least before the semester starts.
Its times like these that I feel knowing Tamil would have helped. In any case, the fun of being at a new place is in part to learn a new language and get to understand parts of the new culture; that I intend to do in the due course of time.
Niket: Welcome to IITM. I guess we are helping you with our absence!
Rest we shall take it through email, when you find time….
Not to worry, Niket ! We are just a stone’s throw away from our old nest, not that you should throw any to check out. And welcome to campus. I hope you love it the way we do.
[…] An unforeseen house change - correctly predicted for me by the weekly astrological section of the local daily - has left indelible results. It has left already one very disappointed and another ecstatic. The vacation mood is yet to sweep me off the feet although I do feel like dirt now, ready to be swept off. But we lost the broom in the house shift. I remain unswept. Classes begin next week and I like to teach according to point #14 but am yet to plan on how to transfer the heat. I remain inept. Finally, the house change extended my simple blog break into a month long Sudo Ubuntu one. Thankfully, Ubuntu has made my air-conditioners work efficiently due to the perennial PJ of Windows remaining closed. I remain cold. To get back to the science blogging groove, let me start with this one I made today. I remain unwept. […]
