So far I have said close to nothing about my work here. The reason being that the task I was assigned was related to programming, an instrument interfacing, the coding of which involves no physics, and I was not very satisfied with it. At the same time, having come for just 2 months with very limited exposure, experience and knowledge, I couldn't expect to be given some hi-fi pure-Physics project either. This leaves me disillusioned as I burden myself with the feeling that I am good for nothing.
Of late though, it has been nice to be around with Siva. Most of the people here work hard, but Siva probably works the hardest, he is always the last one to leave the lab, and by some margin. I have been learning a lot about the laser experiments he is performing. I continuously bug him with questions, (mostly I prefer thinking aloud) and he always answers my doubts patiently. More importantly, I am also getting an idea about the lifestyle of researchers in general.
I sometimes go and attend the talks. They are nice too. But overall, academically speaking, there is something amiss.
