Time For A Self Evaluation

Well this is time for my second annual talk, review talk and I have to submit a report on my two years' progress even though there is not much; to be frank. If somebody ask me what is the topic I work on now, I would say that it is on the tides in the upper atmosphere and the consequent electrodynamics in the ionosphere. But  I don't have adequate content to show in my second annual report neither I have anything to deliver in front of the people over here. Its quiet a sad state for any research fellow. I am disappointed but I have to somehow manage the situation, else my fellowship won't be extended!

So this is time for an introspection before I go forward with the preparations for my second annual report and talks. I remember Khalifa Omar's saying: "Judge yourself before the day you will be judged"! Yes I have to judge myself before I go to the day of my judgement in my institute too.

I have a little results to show, a few ideas. Whatever ideas I have got during my research life - and during other times too - were mostly during my Swala (the five times prayer in every day). Even though Swala is to be done very consciously, I was always distracted from the main point of it - the talk with God. But one advantage is that whatever forgotten before comes to mind during these prayer times. So I take it positively. So I am thinking to present those results I obtained during my last year's Ramadan. Thank God for introducing Swala and fasting in the absence of which I could never get time to think about my research ideas. I had already presented those results in an international conference held at Pune.

Next month is few hours ahead, and I have to prepare a lot. So bye for now.
