Joseph P. Kennedy, the father of
the 35th United States President John F Kennedy is acclaimed to have said that
“When going gets tough, tough gets going”
As
I try to chew the flesh in his lines, I found no mistake in giving this man an overwhelming
ovation. There are gazillions of meanings stuffed into the compact disk of this
7 worded catchphrase. It is only when one is seasoned by the nature into
different shapes and forms, we come to realize and appreciate the lyrics of the
words that are of centuries-old (not a century in this case though).

At
this epoch of time, I have terribly fallen off from the cliff of writing in my
blog. As a result, my blog has suffered a big burst of hiccups leading to an
incessant consequential dormancy for more than
a month now. Both of my hands have been handcuffed and jailed to work for some academic proposals which are due next month. Sometimes, I question myself if
there is any byte of my brain unoccupied to think something different other
than the thesis over and over again.
I know
I have lost an appetite after going through this tough situation. Never have I realized
that the time fleets so mysteriously when we have more work to complete in less
time.
As
I walk alone in the jungle of reviewing literature for my thesis, I am taking a
break to water the lawn of my blog with this scribbling. It has been almost few
months that I have remained inside the cocoon of academic proceedings.
However, one thing I knew is that, as I stepped onto the floor of this tough situation, I
found myself already travelling a few yards towards the finish line. But I only
wish when this going gets tough, let the tough gets going successfully.
