Cum and Scum!

I remember writing one of my initial posts in this virtual space about the fact that I am a full-fledged scientist and trying to make the best out of it. That feeling and sense of exuberance was reaffirmed today!

A visit to the microscope lab did it. Pretty cliched huh? A scientist with a microscope. Trust me, there's more. It wasn't just any microscope, it was a Scanning Electron Microscope. The kind of microscope that gives you images like this one;

Yup, you guessed it. Cum! Or at least its main constituent.

Amazing isn't it! Something so minute magnified a thousand times over and voila! As interesting as the idea may seem, the samples I was observing weren't of any part of the human anatomy. They were peanuts (nuts.... uh oh...). Each image formed on the computer screen unraveled mysteries of what took place when the nuts (uh...oh... *mind running afar*) were roasted employing a relatively new cooking method. There really is no other way to put it; it still very much marvels me to know how powerful science is and scientists are. 

Digressing, there is a cousin of mine whom I used to abhor because of how she puts up a fraudulent persona of being nice; Pseudo Lil' Miss Sunshine. The over-achiever whose perfect grades and bogus charm most often left me to be looked upon as dart-board for unprecedented bouts of verbal diarrhea! From my parents and from my relatives alike; I kid you fucking-not! A physician who has made herself comfortable in the Land of Shakespeare, she is currently on a 10-days holiday back in homeland. There is, however, without a doubt the consideration of how things have certainly taken a turn for the best for me this time around.

#1 I am no more an underachiever. I was never actually that much of a failure but Pseudo Lil' Miss Sunshine had perfect 10s in everything she did; straight A's student in all the public examinations, PSD scholar, and now a doctor. Incidentally, the only thing she ever did do best, besides studying, was being hypocritical. Both of us being of the same age did NOT help. More so because their abode was a mere 2 minutes drive from mine and The High Priestess was her aunt whom was closely knit to her mom; the sister!!!

#2 I am now indifferent to everything about her. Like every other post on "Just Me", this is merely my experiences; an outlet of expression. And trust me when I say, Pseudo Lil' Miss Sunshine deserves a post dedicated to her for being one of the most self-centered (owh, I forgot to mention that didn't I; intriguing given the fact that she helps people; possibly one of the many facades she puts up to seem impressive; whatever the reason, I could CARE less!!!), deceitful person I have ever known!
