What's with this blog??? Defunct for months, eh! Time to sweep aside the cobwebs yet again.
Madison tit-bits
Let me start by apologizing to the scant readers who might have given up all hope, if ever there was some, to see something new spring up here. Spring... ya, that's something new. The next five months are the best time to be in this part of the globe. Longer days, warmer nights, music by the lake, bike trips, shorts and tees.... those little things I never knew I would cherish and crave for!
From back home
Think India right now and the first thing that comes to one's mind is the 22 yard strip, timber, men-in-blue and the Cup. However mediocre the teams may be, this Cup seems to have been as entertaining as any. Holding it in the subcontinent, the heart of the cricketing world, has proven to be a master stroke for the ICC. More moolaah, more fans, everyone's happy. The Indian team has stumbled its way through to set up a mouth watering clash with neighbours Pakistan. May the best team win.
Across the world
Earthquakes, tsunamis, nuclear threats.. eeks! What's next? (I had stopped here to check on an experiment. As things usually turn out, I followed this with a quick browse of the world news and was horrified to watch a video of a Brazilian teen being shot five times by a bunch of cops!! It seemed as if the cops were on weed, or thought they were playing PS2... sanity, people!)
Lab chatter
NO AIR BUBBLES!!! Yay!
I am getting started on a project that involves watching how bacteria get killed by a toxin; and until today, was being 'bug'ged by air bubbles that would enter my reaction chamber. This problem seems to have been sorted out today. Hope this isn't a flash in the pan. Progress feels sweet :)
That's all for now. Peace out...
