Cricket… funny game..

Today, and this must be sounding repetitive  already, I woke up at 6, switched off the alarm, called and woke up my gf and slept again. Woke at 7.30AM and actually went to gym for a not too intense workout. Had a smallish breakfast and went for the lecture of SAJV. Enjoyed the antics under the name of presentation from Abhinav, Adit and crew. Had Negotiation submission today. So, hurriedly modified the reflection paper written by a friend and submitted it. Watched two movies back to back. And now its time to sleep.

The going raw thing is growing inside me, held back only by the equal amount of junk food I am suddenly craving for and eating. Maybe I am paying a bit too much attention to the fact that I am eating more raw, and hence the mind is craving for oil and junk. I am still not feeling totally alert and I need to enter into a deeper sleep to achieve that.

Today, I acted on the advice given to me by my negotiation professor. The long story is as follows:  He used to teach me organizational design subject in the first year. I loved the elective and I think he did notice me. Although my attitude of staying away from teachers apart from the interaction is lecture did not allow me to bond with him as much as I would have liked to build. Now, during the last lecture, he was talking about power and politics and he mentioned that “some people might have got less marks than they would have because they never interacted or showed extra interest”. I figured it was directed towards me because of his hints during the discussion. Today, immediately after the lecture, I went to him to discuss what was explained in the class, and I must say I detected a faint flicker in his eyes. I must have got the hint he gave me. So now I will build on that, and I need to do so too, because I want to learn so much from him. The fact that he is the coordinator of placement cell in the college does help a bit too

Today I went to gym and as I had mentioned in previous posts, felt the glucose level dropping while exercising. So I stopped it immediately, and came back to the room to have a banana or two. Next time onwards, I will have glucose before I go to the gym. Atleast todays physical mastery was on target.

Mental mastery was on target too,  I did understand a bit about how one should approach a placement process. That was very illuminating for me. But it was not a very strenuous day as far as this part is concerned. Nor was I totally awake in a way. There is always this drowsiness overshadowing everything I do.

Emotionally also I was very stable and positive almost the whole day. So that is good enough. I need to create finer points of evaluation so I can grow in this area too.

Spiritual growth is happening since I became conscious of the fact that my spiritual focus is getting lost in the day to day muddle of living my life and doing what matters to me mostly in short term. This lope sided living must be balanced and I think I am off to a good solid start here.

Well, tomorrow alumni meet is happening with cricket match scheduled between my team and alumni team. This should be interesting. I am really looking forward to playing in that match with my newly found muscles and stamina. Hope I will last long enough on the crease to showcase it to the audience.

Talking of cricket, I had really stopped watching the game for years. Sachin was in a bad patch and somehow I was bored of the game. That interest is back now, and is eating into my schedule, replacing other things. I am watching the test match almost the whole time and I think I should must curtail the thing.Bad things can happe, including wastage of time. not that I am a highly effective person anyways, somehow I cant find the energy to do all those things I have always wanted to do. I think the time is ripe to address such major issues plaguing my life.

I am ready to take on myself.
