Odds and Ends

Not a Bachelor much longer!

If you read that title and thought that some hare-brained girl with rather poor judgement has agreed to marry me, then you are greatly mistaken. This post is just an announcement of my post-graduate study plans.

From early-August this year, I shall be quitting my cushy and comfortable job in the corporate world (I have a very nice chair at work) and will be jumping head-first into the crazy world of classrooms, labs and research at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. It is a Masters-by-Research programme called MSc(Engg) at the Supercomputer Education and Research Centre at IISc. The last few months have been crazy and I am happy to have made it. I will be going back to college after a full three years, so wish me luck!

PS:

1. A detailed post of my past three months' adventure will follow. Hopefully.

2. On a completely unrelated note, I am now the uncle of a baby boy! He's tiny and cute and much like his uncle, words like "extreme handsomeness" are being used to describe him (I am serious! Why are you laughing?).  So, now that I have been "uncleified",  I guess I am no longer allowed to snarl at random kids on the street who call me "uncle". Sigh.
