I have a lot to write about today. It has been quite some time since I posted a good healthy post. One was long over due.
So I will start with writing about the red blood cells in human bodies. It is very interesting to note that these are the very cells that are responsible for transferring whatever Oxygen there is in our body. Since all humans rely on Oxygen for their metabolism needs this molecule is absolutely essential for all the cells of the body except one. The only problem being that this cell that is loaded with Oxygen for almost half of its life span of 120 days it can't use that oxygen for its own energy requirements. Ironically all RBC (red blood cells) lack the ability to use Oxygen to run their metabolic functions and thus live otherwise. Irony will be an insufficient word here. There is one other class of cells in the body with similar fate but lesser irony involved. These are the renal medullary cells.
The temperatures in the country are plunging and in the process yielding the unforgiving chill in the weather. Lahore has experienced sub zero temperatures for the third day in row today. Jhang being a similar, rather more dry, climate must be a degree lower. Somewhere around -3C at night times. There was some rain about a week back and that has kept the fog at bay. The day is much much clear and one can see to quite some distance. Infact one of my early day chores comprises of enjoying the deep blue sky and the clear horizon in this farmhouse, away from all the pollution of the city.
The activity on our group's email list has dropped to zero for the past two weeks. My efforts to revive some kind of activity over that elist have turned up no or very little response. I have given up trying not because no one replies but because I too don't have time these days to indulge into activities other than my studies.
The studies are again gaining tempo. Through much trial and error I have realized, like a million times before, that I am essentially nocturnal in habit. I am regularly clocking good study hours. Today was a little extra to compensate for the eid break. I pray and hope that I can continue these good habits for much longer. A good playlist running in the background gives me much needed breaks after every minute, whenever my concentration breaks loose.
Have been listening to The Corrs a lot recently. Sometimes interspersed with a little from Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Counting Crows with Colorblind also provide exactly 3 minutes and 24 seconds of reprieve.
Eid will be celebrated on this coming wednesday. Soon afterwards I will be visiting Lahore for a two day tour. Looking forward to that. But if only I could manage to meet my targets in terms of my studies.
I am in consultation with a company for a job in its Lahore based office. Actually anyone who takes up the job will be responsible for the setting up of the office. It pertains to the field of medical technology and instrumentation. Pretty interesting job and I want to take it up but the only problem is that with my tight study schedules I might not be able to do justice with my job. Then again I will have to move out to Lahore which in itself is a tremendous task in undertaking.
