I'm a Nerdy Girl, In my Nerdy World

Title sung, of course, to Aqua's 'I'm a Barbie Girl'.

And I swear - there's an Indian rip-off of this...hmmm.

Right - so back to the REAL reason for this post.

I think I've returned to Academic Heaven, after a short sojourn in what I'd like to call Academic Hell, but will refrain from doing so as segments of this academic life of mine may get worse...

Anyway. Don't you love it when you can write papers on things that you actually love? That you're actually passionate about? I wrote a paper about Chai Tea Lattes last year (I hate them with a passion, but love Chai/Tea in general), and this year, or this term to be more exact, I'm writing three papers on topics that I absolutely adore.

The first is on the motto of my life: khudi ko kar buland itna keh har taqdeer se pehle Khuda bande se khud poochhe bataa teri razaa kya hai.

The second is on a king/poet I've been interested in ever since I first saw my favourite movie in the whole wide world (Shatranj Ke Khiladi): Wajid Ali Shah

And the third paper is connected to my Master's Thesis: Conceptions of Nationalism in South Asia

Woot Woot!

Now: back to reading Iqbal's 'Asrar-i-Khudi' - which is absolutely beautiful by the way...
