So. I've found this incredible webcomic that I'm totally addicted to. It's a story of a journalist/blogger Hazel and her strangely delightful friends. I started off with it a few days back and its taking up most of my time these days.

So since we're on the subject of webcomics .. my love for webcomics began about a couple of months before my exams at Oxford. My vicious urge to procrastinate coupled with my mind being too exhausted to read blogs and magazines led naturally to.. webcomics. My entree into webcomicdom began with.. oh crap.. cant remember really. What was it? Uhm.. okay, embarassing revelation here.. I used to follow Luann online.. dont know why though. It's become incredibly silly over the past few years.. and the punchlines mostly get a smirk out of me.. seldom a laugh. Anywho.. so what was my first proper webcom.. dont know really. QC, Dinosaur Comics, SMBC - can all battle for the first spot maybe. Oh.. I used to read xkcd as well.. but I hardly ever got the jokes.. they're so obscure most of the times. Blah. And PhD comics! I'm no PhD student.. but they're hilarious.

This reminds me.. I'll be attending a PhD film screening at Oxford sometime in Michaelmas this year. Should be fun.

Back to webcomics.. others that I enjoyed/loved - PerryBibleFellowship, Channel Ate, etc.

That's it for now.. cant be bothered to type more. And gotta head home in a bit anyway. Yes. I'm blogging from work.

Its late evening now and I'm lying on the bed, in a position that's probably going to give me a debilitating back pain some time later in life. But I cant be bothered to get up and sit straight. Economists call this 'time inconsistency'. Also known as procrastination. It affects the best of us, paralyzing plans, turning us into blundering fools. But we never give up on it. Or at least I dont. I'm pretty sure this blog is a tool to procrastinate. I'm not sure what I'm trying to postpone though. It could be the fact that I still am not sure about what exactly I want to do for my MPhil. And that scares the hell out of me. Maybe I'm thinking too much, expecting something grand to materialize.

I need inspiration. INSPIRATION.

Good morning my omniscient readers. It's a fresh windy day today. The weather, in the words of E, is romantic - absolutely perfect for a bollywood love song in the gardens of the Patna zoo. It makes no difference once you reach office though. Its an airtight box of sorts, air conditioned - sometimes chilly. The internet works, most of the times. Its almost like we've been transported to a different world.

I'm about to resume work on my report. Its on all sorts of research opportunities that are available in Bihar, mapped to the various research areas. I'm done with Agriculture and Infrastructure and Urbanization.

Today's agenda -

1. Complete the following sections :

• Governance, Accountability and Political Economy
• Climate change, Natural Resources and Environment
• Human Capital

2. Work on the slides for the presentation and also.. call Prof C to find out whether I can use the slides at all. What a colossal waste all of yesterday's effort shall be - if the laptop isnt available.

Thats about it for now.

Cheers!
