1995-06-05 - Monday - Dr. KBR's first class - "Define everything" is his approach. Dr. KVR & Prof. seem to friction. Others yield, Prof takes all their hours for Tensors ... Shailesh Sir gave D. V. Hall when I went to ask him for another book. People (2 Italians + Indian escort) came to fix Non-linear Optics lab (NLO lab) - worked moving crates - escape from Prof's class ...
We were shielded from burnout from too many Prof.'s classes (like our seniors) by the non-linear optics lab setting up! He had to go and be with them etc at least today.
Idling away time? Not much constructive work to report. Study hours with Amar Singh's notice board program on Electricity ...
1995-06-06 - Tuesday - Splendid pineapple/mango/grape juice in "Chill Spot" - Rs. 3 per glass. CJMR wants to take zero hours every day this week. Koenig's mirror - no theory for non-uniform bending? Tutorial / Seminar classes for the Prof. to take over? ... AWR (Awareness course) zero hours. Talking to Shailesh Sir about C - whether 1st years should directly do C++ - he wanted somebody to talk about his work - allotting some graphics to II MSc boys.
Mind being disturbed, found even Suprabhatam and bhajan time, concentration span is in seconds only. So, not that much benefit from bhajans as on the first day...
1995-06-07 - Wednesday - Shailesh Sir took all 3 hours of practicals as a C++ OOP overview. But Vishwanath Sir feels we should do C first. Gave Rajesh Grover (classmate in Commerce stream) orders for C++ books - Rs. 200+ each. Advanced money for this & for Kshitij. Went to college after dinner for cleaning work - VC's coming to Department tomorrow to see non-linear optics lab.
Not going for optics lab work after tea - felt slightly guilty. Should avoid such acts of omission. Chanting 'Aum Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya' as You had told me to repeat after You ... (The dream this refers to is here.) Swagatam song (practice session), bhajans - I PG were to sit outside dining hall, presumably to create space. But is it necessary?
1995-06-08 - Thursday - NZ family Swami's video during Moral class (which is the first hour on Thursdays). Prof. ran through 2½ hours! but left us free after 1½ hours! Library - ferreted out Ben Franklin from Encyclopaediae. Phoned A3 (parents and sister) at 6:30 AM. Night - D. V. Hall notes. Meditation (10 minutes) - 1st years and I forgot, so started Sai Gayatri after night prayer. Swami's coming tomorrow - announced. Old songs also practised Bhajan time.
'Aum Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya' effect wearing off? (The dream this refers to is here.) Doubts will only shake, faith builds. Now I'm back to asking questions in class - sitting down makes it easier. I must cut the tendency to show off "my knowledge". Feeling sleepy Suprabhatam time ...
