Moods in the lab: !

 

Guide is not here               Guide is calling  


In a Seminar         literature Survey      Tea break

Before noon on weekend   Ready for getting off work       &nbs p;       Tomorrow is a holiday

Got next target from Guide   Tough target Find impossible to meet guide's requirement staying back for 2hrs because the guide is still in the lab         for a whole nightstaying back on weekends  'Sorry-I-Don't-Know' what is happening        Made mistakes in work   Little achievement         Frustrating things happens   Academic section doesn't give the sti-pend:      Being advised extension for one more year

 CHEERS!!
