Last Week

Had regular classes throughout the week. Attended all but one; that was early in the morning at 8am, didnt feel like listening to the droning after having slept pretty late.

Organized a quiz after long, had collected a surfeit of questions in the last few months, it was good to challenge the motley band of quizzers here with the stuff. Almost all the questions got answered, except the majority of the sports ones.

On the exercise front I resumed jogging after an extended injury induced break(my torn knee ligament) . The sheer sense of satisfaction one gets after a long run (in my case about 1.5-2 km) is uplifting, with the heart pumping away, intake of copious amount of fresh air. It brings a feeling of exhilaration. Though while running it takes a huge willpower to put one leg in front of other with the body wanting to call it off, but the mind willing it on, one of the few victories the mind has over the body. I would like to increase the score for the mind in the mind vs body game.

Finished a substantial back-log of newspapers and BusinessWorlds that had accumulated. I generally keep it in a place in the room so that the backlog is visible and I do take some action to dispose it off by reading. Rather than putting it in a neat stack out of eyesight, because that would mean it would keep on mounting.

Read a book by R.Laxman called "Distorted Mirror", light reading. Currently leafing through PowerShift by Toffler, he has a gripping style and grabs you by the eyeballs. I hope the pace continues throughout the book.
