Sound and Loud mind!!

I am supposed to be attending 2 weeks of logic summer school. It is important to underline, italicize, and bold the word 'supposed'. In the last year and half I have read lots of theories on my own, understood them to whatever extent on my own. And this summer school was a chance for me to correct my own understanding. And it has gone quiet well. But then in this last two weeks I have experienced a sudden explosion of creativity in myself. Many of my friends know that I write stories, or at least I used to write them. I had hit a block and not able to proceed with any concrete story for long.

I have had 5 new ideas in the last two weeks. All thanks to these lecturers from different countries trying to explain ideas of Mu-Calculus and Artificial Planners... I hear them talking and then I hear my head talking. Describing a new story to me, and helping me fill in the blanks in the story during the next 1 hr. It is amazing. The funniest part is, I will be sitting with my note and pen ready to jot down some points in the lecture, listening intently. I will find that there is nothing to take down. After about an hour of no writing at all, suddenly i start scribbling a whole pageful or more details. If only anyone tried to get a good look at what i am writing!! I am sure even the lecturers will be amazed at this sincere student...

PS: I have had nearly 11 visits to my blog in the last three days... Thanks to my readers... You can drop some comments on how to improve my blog... I would be glad to make the necessary changes.

After I finished my bachelors, I haven't been physically active. In IIT we were introduced to the wonderful world of internet and LAN networks. Till then I had watched around 50 hollywood movies in all my life. But in the two years in IIT, I would have watched more than 200 movies easily. And that clearly broke all my love for playing games. I stopped playing.

But things did change in the second year, there was a TT board in our hostel and we started playing every evening for an hour. And then I came to sydney. The first year in sydney was worse again. Stopped playing all kinds of games, no physical workout.

I have revamped my schedule now. I have been regularly jogging for nearly 3.5 kms every weekday morning for the last 4 months. I walk 20kms every week. And add to that, I recently bought a TT board and we play there atleast once a week. But the highpoint is the last two days. I played 2 hrs TT last night against a Chinese guy. And I wasn't that bad. We were on a top-spin battle. He was giving me vicious spinners with a lot of bounce and I was giving them back to him. It was nice fun. And today I played badminton after 4 yrs, and I have still got it... I still suck at it...
