Aiyyo, super-dense crush load means they pack us like sardines in a tin, I hear it's 14-15 people per square meter in those Mumbai locals. But for me on the Harbour line in the afternoon? Maybe 6-7 in my whole section, I can even hold my lunch bag. Che, those big numbers are for the main line warriors—my worry is if the metro here gets that busy, how will I carry my big tiffin box for my daughter's school project?

Older NITs have proper campuses and labs, while we new ones are still running from temporary sheds with promises. Faculty? Brilliant minds, but half leave when they see our 'smart' classrooms without projectors. Enthu vishamam...my data structures project got delayed because the lab server was down again for a week—just like my daughter's school tuition, some things you pay for but don't get on time.

Chemo drugs target fast-dividing cells, hair follicles, intestine lining, bone marrow—all മുത്തശ്ശിയുടെ പുഴുക്കൻ പുഴുക്കൻ ആയി divide ചെയ്യുന്നവ. പക്ഷേ, obvious answer പോലെ അത് കോപ്പി മെഷീൻ faulty ആയതുകൊണ്ടല്ല, നമ്മുടെ researchil നോക്കുമ്പോ, ആ ചില tissuesil repair mechanisms തീരെ weak ആണ്, especially intestinal stem cells. Lab-il നാം develop ചെയ്യുന്ന novel compound കൊണ്ട് അവറ്റെ protect ചെയ്യാൻ പറ്റുമെന്ന് കണ്ടിട്ടുണ്ട്, മറ്റേതും പോലെ തന്നെ.

Che, B.Ed is like making dosa batter with leftover rice—quick and gets the job done. But our four-year ITEP was like fermenting the batter overnight, learning child psychology and subject together from day one. I saw the difference when my little one did her school 'project'—I knew exactly why her mind worked that way. For me, ITEP gave roots, not just a certificate.

ഇത് കേട്ടപ്പോൾ അച്ഛന്റെ ട്രാൻസിസ്റ്റർ റേഡിയോയിൽ ഇരുന്ന് കേൾക്കുമായിരുന്ന ഒരു പഴയ ഗാനം ഓർമ വന്നു. പണ്ടത്തെ മഴക്കാലത്തെ പോലെ സിനിമകളും വലിയ കഥ പറയണമെന്നു തോന്നുന്നു, ഇനി ഇവർ എന്താണ് പുതിയത് കാണിക്കാൻ പോകുന്നത് എന്ന് എനിക്ക് ആസ്പദമില്ല, എന്റെ സ്റ്റാളിൽ വരുന്ന ആ കുട്ടികൾക്ക് ഒരു മുട്ടദോസ മാത്രം കൊണ്ട് സന്തോഷം കിട്ടിയാൽ പോരേ?
