The first sounds

Didn't know that there would be a feeling that would come anywhere close to hearing the first clear words said by RRJ. Managed to get the chord 'C' sound clear last night. Oh it was so pure, so sweet and all that. Of course keeping it pure and sweet for the next two seconds almost killed me in pain and then the usual muting and buzzing took over. Anyhow it is chords A, C and E that are slowly becoming familiar. Fingertips are bearing the burnt feeling and torturous positioning with minimal fretting. The remaining chords look painfully complex but the idea is to keep at it.

What do couples talk about?

Do you share office gossip with your spouse/partner? Is it a good idea to bring work related emotions to home? Apparently not, if you check here. We seem to be doing it all the time, talking about office that is, specially over tea in the evenings. Garam chai and taaza khabar. Simple incidents around the academic/non-academic activities at our workplace with a little bit of embellishments provide us with a lot of entertaining moments.

Student interviews, faculty meetings, teaching related interactions, research related interactions, there is so much human element to it and we are so involved in our office dealings that it is difficult to cut it off completely. That is the sit-com that we get to enjoy considering our TV is deeply involved in transmitting activities of pogo-land or cartoon network. There are dangers of telling details because one person is very aware of your actions and thoughts. In some sense you are held accountable. Also, the advice that you receive from the other may not be suited for your own personality. The last but the most dangerous one is that the receiver of transmissions from pogo/c-n is not a dedicated receiver, it also receives air-waves from us and quite capable of retransmitting without prior notice.
