Summer holidays are a time to break free but this isn't the case with me.Being not lucky enough to get a FT, I had to choose kgp as my destination for this summer thinking that everything would be fine once you get something in your head to ponder on. Yeah I am talking about the so called academic PROJECTS that are supposedly the way to develop a broader and a more practical field of knowledge. Days were quite ok till kgp started showing its true colors. I am talking about the high temperature that cooks you up and the infinite humidity that drains every other drop of water out of your tiring body. This being one of my experiences about the conditions of kgp. You get frustrated of the war between the fan,rotating a few feet above your head, trying its best to keep you dry and the humid heat squeezing sweat out of you. Most of the time the latter wins by a long margin. Cases grow worse when you get a professor like the one i am working under! 
Bearing all these i continued my work until something really annoying and strange peeped in. POWER CUTS are so rare in West Bengal and are not expected at all in IITs but this time the special cases worked quite well.
Power cuts are so common now a days over here, sometimes power goes for 4 to 5 hrs! and when it does, it reminds me of my hometown dhanbad where atleast the power cuts were bearable because of the less humidity over there. On the contrary ,here it just makes me idle and wet!
With all these external disturbance "factors" you expect your luck to be with you, but oh dear! this sentence doesn't bother me. Recently, a few days ago i lost my cycle key. This was followed by UPS's battery giving up. Now wait there's more to come. My fluorescent bulb stopped glowing. And then I got a sore throat! All of these happened in a queue and they made me utter "man!! i'm screwed!"
