Long week behind. Long week ahead

This is going to be a longie. Until Saturday. Bear with me. I will try to be as morose as possible. Or probably try to split it into 2 parts.

The week started out nice. Good weekend. Cleaning of home. Some catching up with research work in my field. And trip to the Indian stores for getting groceries.

Then came the lab assignment. Something which consumes more than 50% of my free time. It consisting of designing a memory cell, layout and then testing it. I ended up doing it for a very long time. Resulting in my timings getting skewed from 7:30 am in the morning to 3am the next day morning. That leaves me about just 4 and half hours of sleep. The entire week.

That continued for every day. And the only time I was at home was while eating. Or cooking for eating. The rest of the time, I was in the lab, the godforsaken freezer as it was affectionately called, that would put the weather of wintry Siberia to shame. I survived, consolation due to the sweater I was wearing.

Another busy event, which almost highlighted the week was the Career Fair.
True, I am not looking for a job. I was just looking for an internship.
And I ended up giving my resume to about 14 companies, including big-shots like AMD, Intel, NVidia, NI, National Semiconductor, TI, ARM, Freescale and much more. It was a busy two days. And I turned out all formals for that event.

It was with the approach of the weekend that my time improved.

If I am rite, and the Northie and Westernesse people can confirm me, it was the 10th day of Ganapathi Pooja(whatever). So I was invited to attend the bhajan.
That was totally new for me. All the singing and chanting. Followed by a dinner that was totally out of this place - Bhel Puri, Palkova (a milk sweet) and Gulab Jamun (tinned, of course).

Lots of photos and lots of fun later, I returned home late - 12 pm, to sleep and get ready for the next day's (Saturday) trip to San Antonio. Also got a camera for the trip.

I have been in the lab too long. And I am tired now. Having submitted that assignment which I was doing all of last week (and the previous) I will take exit now, but will make a brief appearance for the next post on the trip to San Antonio.

And here are the pics. The link is to my Yahoo photos. Go down to the San Antonio Directory.
And amuse yourself.
