Do you do a periodic mental "check" of how you are doing in life?
I realized something this week. I feel more at ease with my situation because I am in control of my life now. Aside from the usual insecurities about research work, publication and graduation that all PhD students have, I feel confident that things are going the right way. A huge contrast from how things have been this past year.
Even if the circumstances are adverse, I do not feel worried as long as I am in control and have no external pressures. It follows then that I should take decisions in life in such a way as to keep my independence. That line of thought leads down some difficult roads, which I fortunately do not have to worry about for a while.
This would normally be the point where I would say "In other news, ..." but there really is no other news. I needed some stability, now I got it. So it is time to make good things happen.
Cheers
Prashanth.

Good to hear...
There are decisions you feel good about, there are decisions you feel bad about, there are decisions you force self to take, there are decisions you indulge in...glad to know that you are enjoying this headiness of taking many a kind of decision n acting upon them or kicking some life into them..way to go, you are on ur way to garner one more layer of being level-headed, firm-footed and self reliant.

Terra,
Thanks!
Jyo,
Those are very nice adjectives that I someday hope to come close to achieving :)
as an extension of the write-up, can I deduct that you prefer working alone ???
@Jyoti: Yes, that would be a correct deduction :). So what is the result of the psychoanalysis?
