'Shesh' (finished). With the project proposal, following the standard last-minute rushes, and mental pleads with the Power Board to keep the electricity on long enough for printing the pages and pages of the proposal.It’s a bit of a strange feeling, working to looming deadlines again. These days, I’m more accustomed to Bangladeshi-style timing: flexible, vague, and prone to expansion. Most of the deadlines I work to are self-imposed, forcing me find my own motivation to get things done. These kinds of demands from others are a definite rarity, more reminiscent of essay deadlines at university than my Bangladeshi days.I can’t say I miss the rush to meet deadlines. But the sense of ‘shesh’ on completion is still indeed a good one.
