Of Fridays, Food and Friends

PSU Environmental club's booth during Career Day

At last! Finally an evening with no other task. Four of my students so far have applied for their Master’s program at KAUST. Reviewing their statements of purpose and writing recommendation letters took quiet a lot of time. We all took it seriously, now it is up to KAUST to select them.

At the moment I am watching ‘Friends’ – today is the back to back episode day which lifts my spirits. They are my 'Friends' just like they are for so many others.

Last week was mad and I get only one evening to relax. Unfair! Just kidding...

I had the monthly meetings with the training supervisors of five students, my own classes and 3-day Career Day events. We had a booth for our club too. Tomorrow I will attend a Dale Carnegie workshop – 9 to 5. Long day tomorrow! Just when I thought I would take the Saturday off – something comes up. That’s life, I guess. On Monday, I and another colleague are conducting a workshop for other colleagues. bahut hogaya...

I worked today till 4am, slept till 10am and then was working again – preparing lunch and watching TV. I made mixed vegetable stir fry and vegetable fried rice. There were all these vegetables in the fridge and I had no time to cook them. Finally yesterday I made brinjal curry in a novel way and today used most of the vegetables. Here are some pictures from my cell phone which means the quality may not be so good. Anyway, another entry into my ‘time capsule’.

All the vegetables neglected till today...

...are chopped into fine pieces

This one is for the fried rice-

And this for the veg stir fry-

Almost done!

There's the fried rice [picture not so good] and vegetables eaten with salted peanuts.
