Diary 141: Study and Frustration Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:30 am. Today I woke up at around 11:00 am. I had an objective to complete a lot of exercises in DS today, so I quickly brushed my teeth, had my breakfast and started studying. I didn't go online yet. I kept on studying till 1:30 pm, and then went online. I realized that the developer has sent a new design for the internal page. I approved it and asked a few other doubts, which were cleared later. Today I was very frustrated with the non responsiveness of both Akshay and Dallas. So, I sent a mail with the designs again, but got no reply at all. I am kind of frustrated by this now. Then, my sister returned from school, and I had my lunch at around 2:50 pm. Also, today Dad finally found my sister's birth certificate somehow. We had the notion that it was never given to us by the hospital. After that, I reverted back to studies and continued the same till the late evening. In between, I took a break by listening to songs on YouTube and all. My mom and dad left for the police verification of Passport. I had a discussion about the names with Alok again. I suggested few and he liked only one of them. Anyways, after that I continued studying till 9:00 pm, and then had my pre work out dinner. Then I left for gym at around 9:30 pm. Today was workout day. I was kind of tired today after the workout, but I didn't miss the mark in any exercise except for the second set of leg raises. That is anyways a very tough one to sustain. I returned home, took a bath, and watched the TV for a while. Then I reverted to studies, and completed one of the exercises. There are 4 exercises of DS left, but I don't think I will handle all of them. I will return to DS after revisiting some concepts of Reasoning and Logical ability. I wrote this post then, and now I plan to study more and sleep by 3:30 am.

Diary 140: Last ODI for Rahul Dravid Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:00 am. Today, I woke up at around 10:30 am. I brushed my teeth, had my usual breakfast, and went online. No work again, and so I started studying. But before that, I opened up my mind by playing a bit of solitaire. Although, I didn't play that well, I was now awake. Then, I studied till the lunch time. My sister asked me doubts in English and I somehow managed to handle those. I even got confirmations from Alok. Then, I had my lunch at around 2:45 pm. I ate baingaan bharta after a long time, and it felt good. It was a less oily version but still, I loved it. Then I moved on lazily with the studies. I was facing problems with Data sufficiency questions. Some were really tricky. There are 14 Exercises to be done, and I just started the 6th one. Meanwhile, I got a call from Vaibhav, who said that he is not that happy with the internal page design of the website. So, I gave him the liberty of that and he started working on a new design. Later, I continued with the studies till late evening. I dropped off my mom at someone's house as she had a meeting regarding Durga Puja. At around 8:20 pm, I went out to pick up my mom from that house, and also brought some paani puris as requested by my sister. I just ate 2 of them and had my pre work out dinner. Then, I realized that there is a match going on, and that it was the last ODI match for Rahul Dravid. Anyways, India made an impressive 304/6 in their 50 overs, but the rain gods interfered again and killed the show. The match is still going on, so the final result is still on the way. Meanwhile, I went to gym for the cardio day, and came back at around 10:45 pm. I ate my post work out dinner and started watching the match. I started multi tasking between match and studies. Later, the rain interrupted again, and I moved to my room to write this post. Next, I plan to watch the match again, and study too. I plan to sleep by 4:00 am.

Diary 139: Study Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:30 am. Today I woke up at around 11:00 am with a call from Dad. He asked me to send him some document from the other laptop, so I got up and tried starting that laptop. Somehow, I managed to copy the file to a pen drive and then send it to dad's e-mail address. Then, I brushed my teeth, had my usual breakfast, and started studying. I continued studying till the lunch time. I had my lunch at around 2:30 pm. After that, I took a break from studies and played Solitaire. Later, I studied till 7:30 pm. Then, I had a discussion with Alok regarding the name of the website and he also gave me some tips with the approach and all. I noted them down in my mind. Also, I suggested few changes to the internal page design which were sent by Savita, the developer. It seems like a copy of the existing sites, so I was not that impressed. At around 8:30, I started watching KBC, then had my pre work out dinner, which was now a bowl of Daliya. After that, I left for Gym at 9:30 pm. Today was workout day. So, after a small warm up of 5 minutes or so, I jumped on to the workout. Well, it took a nice toll of my body, and I was exhausted at the end. I returned home, took a bath, and had my post workout dinner i.e. sprouted salad. Then, I started writing this post. Next, I plan to continue with DI. I will try my best to finish the basic DI tonight. I plan to sleep by 3:30 am.

Diary 138: Lazy Day

Yesterday I slept at around 4:00 am. Today I woke up at around 12:00 pm. Yah it was quite late, but I woke up once at 8:30 am to check out the color of Honda City that my Dad has selected. Although I had no role in that, but still I woke up so that I don't get an earful later. Anyways, I started my day as usual - brushed my teeth, had my usual breakfast and then went online. As expected there was no new work, so I started studying. Some of the questions in Quant were left, and after completing those, I felt lazy to start off with DI. I decided to take a break from studies and watch a movie. I started watching "Autograph", a Bengali movie. It was a different kind of movie and I loved it. It attacked the very basic fiber of Bengali Cinema production. Anyways, I had my usual lunch at around 2:30 pm. Also, I got the home page and internal page designs from the developer. I liked it, but Akshay said that it is very basic. Dallas said that the page has appeal. The afternoon was very lazy and I spent the time sleeping and watching the movie. Late afternoon, I had some Tea, and then played the guitar for a while. Then, I browsed randomly for a while. Later, I watched the KBC till 9:30 pm. I left for Gym then. Today was cardio day, but I added a new exercise in that. It was for the abs, and I never realized it until yesterday. May be this is the reason that my abs are not as much in shape as expected. I came back at around 10:45 pm, and took a bath. Then, I started writing this post. My sister is also studying in the same room, and I will also start with DI now. I wish me best of luck. I plan to sleep by 3:30 am.

Diary 137: Dad Returning From muscat/dubai Day

Yesterday I slept at around 4:00 am. Today, I woke up at around 11:30 am. I noticed that Dad has returned from Dubai/Muscat trip. He brought along lots of gifts and chocolates, and of course photos. I got a new T-shirt saying " I love Dubai", although I haven't been there at all. I brushed my teeth, and went online. Then, I heard stories about the neatness and the awesomeness of Dubai and Muscat. After that, I saw that there is no work at all at the job front, so I started studying. Today, I was supposed to start with DI, but I decided to complete the rest of the chapters in Quant, especially Geometry (similar triangles and all). I was facing tough problems in those, and all those reminded me of those 10th or 11th class theorems (Angle bisector theorem, Mid point theorem etc.). Anyways, I continued with the studies till the lunch time. I had my usual lunch and then realized that I have a meeting the developer. I remembered that he was going to show me some designs today. So, I left home and went there. I had a long meeting with him. I liked the neatness of the design and also suggested some additions and modifications. I returned home, and started studying again. I did that till late evening. Meanwhile, my sister challenged me to complete DI within 7 days. I will try to accomplish that. At around 8:30 pm, I started watching KBC. I did that till 9:30 pm, and then left for the gym. Today was the workout day. I increased my loads in many of the exercises and thus felt something in my arms and legs. I even followed up the workout with a treadmill for 5 minutes. I came back, took a bath, and then had a look at the photos and videos of Muscat and Dubai properly. Later, I had a nice little chat with Shatabdi (long lost chat/blog friend). Then, I decided to write this post. Next, I plan to study and then sleep at 3:00 am. I may also watch the movie - "Autograph" later but not so sure about it.
