Feeling tired and lonely thanks to not spending Deepavali at home. Its nice to have a job in these tumultuous circumstances, but then, sometimes the question arises in my mind if the money is worth the effort. Not that my job is any different from the other guy next door in terms of hours of work and nature of progress.

Last few days, a distinct memory from my past has been visiting me quite often. Two days ago, the crew started waxing and polishing of the floor around my usual work place. I was wax-locked into a tiny corner of my office and instead of feeling cramped, I felt nostalgic about the entire situation. This reminded me of the days when a new block was being constructed in my school at Velachery. This was around 2000 or so, when students were prohibited from entering the newly constructed building due to the polish work that was going on then. Inspite of all the warnings, my friend and I frequently visited the place after hours and had a skid competition on the walls. When caught, the excuse was that we were going to the library, which was already operational across on the other side. I believe the skid marks are still present at the 3rd floor of the school, though Im not sure they were polished again later on. I would very much like to check this out when I visit the school again.

The second year in a row that Im onboard a ship during Diwali. Though it could have been avoided by signing on earlier, I thought that the time spent before this sailing at home was one of the most memorable occasions in my life.

Just had an altercation with the Cheif Engineer with an alarm. Looks like the stay onboard is not going to be as smooth as I thought it would be.

We crossed the equator just yesterday. The rain doesn't seem to be stopping at all. The cadets onboard say that its summer now in Cape Town. Im eagerly awaiting the ship's return to Capetown, so that I could visit Century city mall again.
P.S: My friend Praveen is now working in Johannesberg. I thought we could meet at Cape town, but he is very busy now to visit.
