Research Daily Log

 I came around 10:45 am. Neethu was already here 10 mins before and said the guide was present when she came. The guide is present. Conversations from her cabin can be heard. Got to know that she hired two teachers to teach at the MSc department as part of the FYUGP programme, so she doesn't have to. Payment is apparently done by the MSc department itself. The guide was seen walking through the halls and sitting in the classroom on the phone for a long time. The guide had left the cabin for a while at noon. Probably went to have lunch.  around 11 am - Gulabi came  around 4:45pm- the guide has marked out and gone home 5:10 pm- All of us left home.

 11am - Reached the department. Neethu is already here. The guide's cabin is locked with the lights all off. The office people are all present.  around 11:45 am- Gulabi is here.  We were informed that the guide came early in the morning, marked in attendance, and left. ( Just like Monday and Tuesday last week). around 3pm- The guide came to the department.

 23 (Monday) March 2026 No scholars are present. I came to the department by noon with a blinding headache. The university fest 'Sargam' competitions are happening this week. The singing competition is happening in the auditorium right next to our room. My headache is worsening. I left by 3pm because my head was throbbing with pain. Shuba aunty came and asked if the other scholars were not coming today.  No sign of the guide. All the lights in the cabin are switched off.  I took a Dolo tablet and tried to sleep because the headache was unbearable.  23 (Tuesday) March 2026 Came to college by 11 am. Neethu has come from home and was already here. Gulabi is still in Trivandrum.  No sign of the guide. Both of us have a building headache. The programme noises and heat are not helping. We tried to leave by 4 pm, but the guide came with her son and left by 4:30 pm, after which we also left.  Went to sleep with a severe headache again.  25 (Wednesday...

10:35 am - I reached the department. Neethu is already present and sitting in the department library, where she has been since Deepthy left for her hometown 2 weeks ago. No sign of the guide in the cabin. Probably gone for a meeting. Computer Assistant and Shuba aunty were present in the office as we went to sign our attendance.  Around 12:30 pm- The computer assistant asked for our help to post about the summer vacation classes on the defl Insta page as directed by the registrar or something.  2:45 pm - Still no sight of the Guide in the cabin. 3:15 pm- I was called into the office to help them post about summer vacation classes in our department. The Computer Assistant told me to post it where there is a range for the internet, and that Shuba Aunty will come to collect once finished, because the guide has told them not to associate with the research scholars.  The guide has reached here by 3:30 pm. Gulabi went to give the compiled list. The guide made it clear then that...

They tried contacting Firoz from the Hindi department but could not reach them. Informed that they will let us know once they can reach him. Office people tried contacting Firoz sir, but he did not pick up the call, probably due to election duty. Firoz sir came to our office around 2pm. Gulabi went to ask for his help in our office, but ASO told her they are doing some important work and told her she would ...
