Trying hard!

Ya, I am enjoying these days just by looking into my subject areas.I have started taking interest in my real work,also I am enjoying the classes of Bala sir.He is a great teacher and motivator too indeed.I like his style of teaching very much, the way, he starts the topic,just amazing, last class he taught a mechanism leading to logarthmic rate law; i.e., 'space charge theory' a noble prize winning work, just awesome to give words the work,totally beyond to explain and also he explained in a very lucid manner another mechanism 'electron tunneling theory' to explain logarithmic rate law, it was also very good.Finally I enjoyed all that very much.I have still problem to make friendship with the books but I am trying hard to cope up with all that. I just have to start writing my termpaper, have collected some good relevent papers and also I have read some nice review papers on the topic itself so made a outline but have to write all that and I'll try hard to give a fininshing the way it may publish afterwards.Anyway the main thing which is going to make difference is I have started taking interest in my work.

Still Hope?

Well, I am struggling too much these days not because of outside but just because of myself as I have decided not to read anything till the pressure is going up to irresistible limit besides knowing that it is going to affect my future plans in every way......got bala'sir quizz two copy and I did very bad, got only 5 out of 10 besides knowing everything of the paper what can I do man...What I am feeling about myself that I did very bad everywhere in last lap of the race which is also reflecting here and it shows I am very much poor in rapid section of every show.Generally I loose my confidence and concentration if there is less time remaining and I feel myself unable to solve even a very simple problem just feeling out of the way during that period. And the problem what I have sorted out is not to read properly or more clearly thouroughly before any exam, in general before any exam I try my best to clear every concept related to topic and just appear in exam without much thinking and practice of the problem on the topic to be examined and in that way I make myself less confident in every way which has very much dominating effect when there is less time to think in examination hall.Here I have strong belief that these are just because of not doing hard work, in the sense proper thinking on the topic and more practice on the topic related problems, and hope so I am going to remove these weaknesses next time in a very positive way(Inshaallah).
And nowdays I am very much thinking of making my future work in the area of high temperature materials mainly superalloys and intermetallics not just because of it is quite interesting and related to my semester and M.Tech. project but also the fact that rare earth materials are going to make a place there, for example 'Neodymium–cerium oxide as new thermal barrier coating material ' (Hui et al) is having very good property as TBC materaial. And I am also very much interested to know the cause of brittle bahaviour of intermetallic compounds because of this making these materials unwanted to be used at high temperature otherwise having all the good property to used as a high temperature materials.And I also want to know what is the reason for high oxygen solubility of Ti, Zr, and Hf which is not understood till yet.
I am closing this by placing a high quality proverb 'It is not necessary to win everytime but trying everytime till win'.
Hoping best to all,
Ajeet

Still Fighting

Well, these days are going to be very crucial for me in coming future...I did'nt get prof. of my choice here and I have to work in area which is not of my choice, still I have to manage with that and have to do my best as Bala sir said once in our class that anybodys best come in his worst phase of life, talking about Wagner(great scientist) who published his great works during second world war.I got topic of my choice for term paper which is ' Coatings for high temperature oxidation and hot corrosion resistance of superalloys used in jet engines' and definetly I am going to enjoy to learn all that about this topic. Also I am struggling with my nature of studying which is not of learning more and more from the book, generally I learn the basic and like to think on problems with own which is creating problem here as if you are willing to get good CPI here then anybody has to be very studious and having good CPI is must for getting good institutions for higher study, even then I am trying to cope-up with all that.I went Ayodhya during puja vacation and felt all that spiritual feeling of being at such a great pilgrimage.I came back on 4th and started sleeping and sleeping and today I got some sense to do something meaningful thats why I am writing this.Classes will be start from 9th and after that schedule is going to be very hectic as from 18th midsem-2 is going to be started and simultaneously have to work on term paper as at the end of the semester there will be no time for the term paper due to mugging whole semester syllabus in a very little span of time. I am also thinking about some new things which is to be implemented in near future, even I do'nt have very much clear picture of all that, but I think so.I am thinking about to creat a positive break-down in Hall-Petch behavior of material by minimizing the surface energy and thermal energy with microcrystalline materials at low temperatures.Once I'll get experimental evidence then I'll see if it is possible at ambient temperatures by any means or not.Even at low temperatures it is going to be very tough to get that as at low temperatures materials behave in a brittle manner but I am hoping it may be compensated by increasing the size of the material(optimizing).But anyway all this going to be very much interesting.
I am closing my writing with a great proverb 'NEVER GIVE-UP'

Have a nice weekend to all
