Finally....

Wow....the broadband is finally active today.....and good-bye to dial-up!! It has had taken 26 days for the broadband providers to activate it. It was a little hassle to go through this time than when we moved house last year. I have no idea why though.

Their service is usually good but we got fed up this time. We were given a minimum of 20 days to get the broadband and 7 days period for the phone line after moving house. But they took more than two weeks to give the phone line and the reason given for the delay was that the time it had taken for them to get the line enabled from BT (British Telecom). And now, 26 days for the broadband and this is even after our few shouts only. Every time you call, they say "give us a call in 48 hours period of time as I am just going to pass this job into our dash department." Exactly the same words every time!! I don't know whether they were being ignorant or technical probs or what. Had to ring them almost every two days to give a shout and the last one was very harsh. Well, that was the way because we can't rely on dial-up all the time as exams are coming up. Oh, by the way, forgot to mention that this was all about AOL Broadband. Glad that it has finally been activated.

And coming to talk about exams, I got my SSU assessment tomorrow in which I have got to perform the poem that I have written. On depression. Kinda strange that a medical school wants to see us performing arts, even though it's just reading out in my case! Some people in my group are even singing! A good, relaxing element but it would have been so if it is not near the semester exams. I still enjoy it anyway!

To those who are doing exams this summer, wishing all the very best! Ciaoo!

People and Perception...

Wondering…… of the different ways in which individuals take things into their minds. When lots of people have the same kind of perception, say on a specific matter, it then becomes the 'right' and routine one! And everything else what others think about it is the 'odd'. Totality of socially transmitted behavioural patterns- the one I liked of all the definitions of culture Ive came across. This is the way every culture in this world is structured, I guess. Culture gives a great way to the humans to have a straight, right and controlled life by drawing lines on what should be done and whatnot. Nevertheless the mode of perceptions in everything is gradually changing in this era.

People have their skill of intellectuality well developed than the past to think and analyse. This may explain the reason for all the controversies happening on almost all the things nowadays. One urges, tests, analyses and decides whether it is right or wrong and sticks with it. Yet some people have weird thinking, not after their own intellectual analysis but just by comprehending something that is cultivated by others purely blindfolded!

I have had come across several incidences where people try to push their opinions into others.....I generally listen and respect others views, and feel great when I do so. But my opinions are mine, they may sound and seem very wrong to others and vice versa but one should have absolutely no problem as long as I don’t drive my opinions into others after realising the existing contradiction.

You can never change something that is present without a clear origin and strictly man-made. This is with regard to psychological and perhaps philosophical aspects. Coming to think about this, if you take a career, one should enjoy whatever they do. And it will be pretty laborious if not.

One should/would not be bored of their career….. Of course, he/she must have been mastered the skill...and most importantly loves the job! I love what I have taken as my career....it’s not a sleep walk, but about highly thinking, reasoning, acquiring and applying knowledge. There may be hundreds of dislikes that can be pulled out on something if really wanted but it is all about how you perceive the info and how positive you look at something....

And nothing personal is necessarily required to write this .....!

Untitled....

Just handed in my assignment a few secs ago. And now got the time to get my hands on this blog! I had to kind of leave the assignment to the last min because of several reasons. Feeling very relaxed at the moment though it is only temporary until I start the next assignment for SSU. It's a reflective account that I have to write which is better than what I had to hand in today. Friday... essay had been submitted.... low intesity of stress.....and weekend!...some indefinable feeling! Wish you all have a leisurely weekend!

Friday 2 May 2008

The past two weeks had been quite hectic...Busy with moving house and a very packed time table. I have finally moved house on Wednesday! To those of you who are thinking oh my god, how many times this girl is going to be complaining about this..the answer is ..not anymore for sure! ;). Thanks to my two other friends, Kavas and Brave, who helped us with the removals and without them I can't imagine how it would have been to us!

One of the worst parts of moving house is the broadband connection! Not going to get broadband for 20 days. Arghhh! I don't understand why do they need such a long period to activate it. Some technical reasons or business benefits? I don't know! It is taking time for me to adapt to the new house, find it quite strange to be at a totally different place. So I am now completely relying on library for my Internet and studying. Will hopefully get the connection on the expected date.

In the library at the moment, just seen the email that my anatomy tutorial for this afternoon has been cancelled. The day was time tabled 9-5pm...and as of the cancellation it is now 9-4!! Wow whatta feeling you get when you hear a lecture or tutorial is cancelled!! And am so glad it is bank holiday on Monday.

Have a great weekend !

New season

 I cannot believe I made it back in here for the second time this year.  My new baby is playing/about to cry sort of state in the background...
