Lazy day

What a lazy Sunday. In 4 months I'll stamp my sixth year in Korea. Never thought it would be, cause I dream to be in nepal every next year..kkk. But this has been wonderfully lazy  day in all these years.  One day when I was feeling lazy, I packed my bag, went to Yongsan and bought a stupid laptop.

But this sunday has seen the height of my laziness. I slept until 1:00 PM. Woke up with a headache, ate my lunch and back again in the bed. Family went on to shopping, while I shrugged inside the warm blanket. I didn't really sleep, but I shrugged, and waited for family to comeback. Samridhhi played, watched TV, did some english exercise, and I did nothing. For once I asked her if she wanted to eat something, and i loved what she said..NO!! She went on with her stuffs while i napped. Until 4 I shurgged, slept, looked at the ceiling and again slept.

Now at the end of the day I am writing this lazy blog. I promise to write better things next time LOL!!!

Nami's defense is done this week

After 3 and half years is yet another PhD defense is formally finished successfully with base of hope for further upgrading contribution in science. We are glad that it is over, the strenuous part of student life. One has to admire the situation in which this all got started. With 10 months baby, me as a student and again herself, in a country where language is completely unknown to us. This as been a class struggle for all three of us including all our family members back home who have supported us as always. Also our professors who've been with us throughout academically, friends in Korea, both nepali, koreans and other international friends, and all our other friends have made our moments here easy and worth-while. We are very grateful for both our acquaintances in our academic pursuit.

Huh got the categories done!!

May be wordpress is good.. but I simply wanted to stay with this blog. Why? just because I can use my gmail Id to open it and I hate to fill more forms and write my address and phone number again and again. It was long since I was hoping to add categories. Despite that I am a lousy blogger, I will probably have 30 to 40 post in 10 years time. I wanted them in categories so that I can look back. Hmm...Might not look too neat..but now I am used to evolution, revolution and changes..duh :D

Weekend's report

A day before weekend begin, MDS was online at my yahoo messenger. The times have changed since she was jumping jack long back during BITS days and a mom now with 5 years old kid. Never failed to impress me with her dynamism and eagerness to go ahead. I should remember to send her docs and pics~~ tada!!. And then I just knew, this weekend would bring back more memories. Like last weeks chole bhature at Aruns home, this week was dedicated to samosa and sleep. I'll put up the pics of them too.. This weekend also marked Nami's progress on research up 5 IF journal publication, which probably is one of the best in record for contribution to the science from our family. Well done and Hearty congratulations!!. By the weekend was over Pakistan slayed West Indies in 2-Twenty World Cup Cricket elating Waleed as much as I can see. So waiting for next week might be rasbhari and lalmon (:-)) I am chilled out listening to Wrestler by Bruce Springsteen.

Hiking in solitude



This picture was taken in one of the ski mountains near Pechyang in Korea. I was there participating in our Ubines Lab workshop, however I went this hiking trip alone when all other members went for rafting. On top of the ski mountain, in this wilderness was this butterfly, apparently in solitude, fluttering among plethora of jungle flowers and definitely unaware of this capture.

International Food Restival In Suwon Youth Culture

I was having a lazy day today. I still find fun in not doing anything. Reflects the inner lazy being in me.. And then received a call from Suraj. Hey where are you? I am in my room!! Are you sleeping? Felt little shy to be honest.. And then the call was for going to Youth Culture Center.

Relatively small gathering of Korean kids and stalls. Photo exhibition and foods of China, Nepal, Latin and Cameroon was placed on our side of stalls. We gave a performance.. honestly it was bad as it could be.. However, guys did something eventhough just for a show!! Cheers!!

One Year in Ajou

Its been a year now in Ajou, a right time to introspect and evaluate. This is just to record things of past year, people, food, language weather that became part of day to day life.

I remember the first day I arrived here, especially because of strange characters in the billboards and signboards which didn't made any sense to me. Land was strange for me where all peoples looked alike, spoke strange language and ate strange thing with awful smell. In a very short time, I got used to as expected. Since I live in my own separate land of thoughts and dreams, I barely noticed this sudden change in environment. New friends are now old and comfy as any old boots, new seat is same as the one of KU where I sat for 3-4 years, amazing dell machine is alike old pampared pentium-I and internet downloads as if I've been doing it for years.

Research and Study
Thinking about research, everyday I feel like I am starting something new, means I am still nowhere and fresh. Somehow 2 papers accepted, 2 awaiting response, 1 writing and 2 under preliminary state. Out of 7, 3 of them is my effort, 2 with zeeshan and Guenhee and 2 co-authoring with Chang Su. 6 courses passed with decent figures, still helping me to go on with my so-called research on wireless computing. Partial knowledge of simulators and general idea on how to make papers for journals and conferences are something I learnt this year. Creative thinking and critical thinking both are almost same as it used to be before. Reading habit not yet substantial as I thought it would be. No doubt I have wasted a hell lot of time browsing internet, looking for papers I never read, software I never used, mailing list I never responded to and etc etc.
Friends and Society
Guys offered dinner first night I was here and they still do at times. First met Suraj and then whole lot slowly. Significant amount collectively spent on 2030, This, This plus, few other international brands, draft beer and Soju kept us inact and intact.
Suraj still a sort of general manager/accountant/advisor..done lot of roles left some remarkable incidents. A black out night and lost in bus-terminal can be two separate stories :-). Transcended from MBA to Industrial engineering, he will probably figure out intelligent artifacts for human kind.
Always 'Yes' to drink.. Sangram worked out his fate and luck to be his way. This purely nocturnal creature had been the one to create definte impression upon all by upfront actions in first few days. Since then he turtled himself towards the end of of this year with representative tag, guitar flicks and unexposed self-composure.
Another part of this coin...Chiran successfully demonstrated his cooking skills (well cooked, 10% finished, hot tarkarizz), interfering skills (this is just based on the complaints that people have made ..not my own observation). Pushing his studies quite well, a regular bass guitarist and friend to all ..still rolling.
Outspoken, straigth from the heart, hard working in almost all aspects, Samundra..about this guy anyone will be impressed by his natural behavior and kindness. Irish probably will be in his thoughts.. I don't know..but may be I can explain :-)
Devinder..a big brother for all..an exemplary transfer from MBA to PhD, Challenge being a Motivation and Never to Give Up a theme and lot more in his account.
Khagendra ji ..a remarkable social worker, a good friend and paving his path to US..we hope to hear his accomplishments in future.
Korea and Koreans
...And this is the place I came, finally, I loved it the way it is. There are few grieviences, language is still tough and (korean) people are one hell of a kind. They are nice, lovely, kind and helpful. However, self-composed within themselves, voracious soju drukards, comic and cartoon lovers, cartriders spacecrafts maniacs. Made a really good friends like Chang suh, Sung hee, Song woo, Young mi, Kook kee, Bo Sung. All other labmates are great too. The major impact person for me, my Professor, who had a very different way of enlightening students. I believed in my luck when I found out that my Professor was a famous person in the area. And then I was surprised to know how lucky I am when I understood that my professor is really amazing. I am glad I am working under him.
Something I missed during this year
Most importantly, the birth of my child... Still haven't seen her and that is the deepest sadness rooted inside me. Haven't been able to be with Namu, when she needed me the most.
