Sleeplessness

Woke up at 12.45AM.

Yesterday during tea, Amma was asking me why I've been looking so dull ever since I came back from the US. I asked her what do you mean dull. She said I used to be full of energy earlier, now something's gone wrong.

Finally I think I realised the reason at 1.15AM. I need to read, write, study and paint.

I opened one of the books on the basics of pumps and blowers out of a sudden urge. And I actually kinda liked going through it briefly, because I could relate to its terms quite easily. Then it dawned upon me that my mind has been sleeping for a long while now. Its a very bad thing to do, letting your mind sleep when you're not physically sleeping. I was wondering whether this field really holds my interest - and I have a gut feeling it does.

Teju I don't know what great things I can do in the field of mechanical engg. But I've always liked this field the most in engineering. I feel the least I can do is get my basics right, by reading up. At least.... at least I'll know where I stand at the moment. I don't find the text uninteresting, so why not give it a shot? I'll have to structure my reading sections and take notes to make it effective.

These are my thoughts for today.
