Cell phone , Nepal Nite & My Thesis

Magically, I lost my cell phone yesterday. I know i never walked outside in the icy waves. We had a meeting regarding Nepal Nite 2008 at Saurav's apartment. So, from the room i hardly crawled less than hundred feet to the car. I had replied a last phone call at around 9:30. Then, when our meeting ended at 11:30, surprisingly my cell phone was lost. I searched every corner in the meeting room (Saurav's living room) but i became hopeless. I went to the car to see if i dropped somewhere inside it. I forgot the cold and started cleaning the garbage inside the car, that was piled up since i bought it last year. The possibilities of getting my cell was narrowing down. But, i was still surprised "why it was not found inside the meeting room". I ran into the room again and call up Saurav for help to get my phone. But again, i was hopeless. There is not any place left inside the room to be looked at. So, i had no options than go home. With my sad mood i came back home. I could not sleep well. I just imagined the number of miss calls in my cell phone. I slept late last night. So, i got up at 9.00 this this morning. i was upset. I took a cup of tea. And just pick up Khem dai's cell phone and dialed to my number. The phone was not dead. So, i became sure that it is not out side the home. If it was outside, it should be dead due to cold. Dipin gave me one idea: May be the verizon office might be helpful to track the position/location of my phone set. But it did not work. Instead they were offering me another phone set for $250. I denied this offer. Then, immediately, i took khem dai's phone and went outside to clean up my car again. But it was fruitless. I was almost exhausted and hopeless. At that time i realized how much the technology has bound a human being in a small circle. In this moment, I felt the real attachment and dependence of human being with the machine technology. Anyway, i needed my cell phone. Then i had still a last hope....though small. I went to Saurav apartment again. I removed the couch where i sat yesterday for the whole 4 hours. I removed its seat. But i could not see my cell phone. Nitu told me that they had already spent nearly an hour looking for that.........I was almost about to give up.....i call on the cell again and again but there is no sound.............I took my long breathe...and about to say good bye to Nitu........My mind stroke me with some place..on the couch.....immediately my hand jumped into it....just felt like it was my phone...............MAGICALLY I GOT IT..............FINALLY.......I was so happy.....

Today, i had to meet Monish and Vedbar for Nepal Nite Campaign. The problem was that Vedbar was busy after 10.00 o'clock but there was no time for Monish before 11.00 o'clock. So, we decide to gather at 1.00 o'clock. We moved around the Brookings campaigning our program like postering, fund raising, church booking etc. It took about 3 hours to wrap up work for today. Till then my Cadillac had already drunk about 3 gallon of Premium unleaded gas in this chilly weather. No, problem.....we have to do something this time.....have to make it successful......

Now, it was the time to go for thesis write up. It has been already half a year i started this work. But it is still at infancy. It is very tough.....it needs concentration and dedication. Now-a- days....i don't have any concentration....
I had to go Library for statistical analysis of my phenotypic data. I spent about 4.5 hours in library today. But, i got more than 50 calls during that period..(..decoration committee is doing that...they need this item.....Our pre-designated chief guest has cancelled his attendance in NN08......Meeting to Dr. Hansen and fix the next possible guest.....phone card chahiyo....etc etc etc...)..ufff...thank god i found my lost cell phone.......
This is very clear how far i went today on my thesis work..........Nonetheless...I tried my best today....it was a good day.....I came home at 9.00pm with a whole chicken from WALMART. My kitchen work started with chopping the chicken, cleaning the utensils full of the sink, and ended up cooking DAL, BHAT and Chicken curry.....

OHHHHHHHH........It is VALANTINE'S DAY in Nepal NOW....I forgot it.......I will get very hard time tomorrow .....it's for sure.....

Whatever......I love to sleep now.....i am tired

good nite Brookings!
