Cyclone ke side effects

Backdrop:
  1. Due to heavy rains, the schools are off and RRJ, therefore, in RRS's office
  2.  A conversation a long time ago about what does a PhD student do and how long it takes to finish etc.                         
When RRJ and RRS were walking back after lunch in the canteen, one of RRS's student (J) crossed them.

J: When mu is increasing rho is decreasing.
RRS: How is that possible?
J: Really! I will show you later.

Then J goes for his lunch

RRJ: When something is increasing, it is decreasing! How is this possible?
RRS: Not possible
RRJ: That is a problem. Answer should be found
RRS: Yes. He is the student. He should find the answer
RRJ: Then one more year. 6 years then. Which year is he in?
RRS: Third year.
RRJ: Only third year. Then maybe not sixth year.
RRS: Yes. He will finish in 5.
RRJ: What is his problem?
[RRS describes the problem]
RBR: Not fully understood, but ok.....

A bit late in the day

But we finally got around to watching 'Fiddler on the roof'. An old musical released in 1973 but was an instant hit with the viewers of age ranging between 7 and 76.

You know.......

..... you are back to base when:
  • The first step you take outside the airport is in a puddle.
  • Hair goes back into its frizzy mode by the time you reach home.
  • During family breakfast you have the privilege of viewing  an intimate scene between two monkeys right on the window sill. Aaaarrrgh!
