Strange

A thing (read PC) that you dont own, makes you feel so uncomfortable using it.

It just feels strange to be seated in front of a Computer system in IPC (esp if you go there after a long long time)!

Seated in A-24..

Guru

The songs: 'Ay hairathe' and 'Barso re', are so brilliant!

A R Rahman is a great music director and a wonderful singer. After such a long time i'm listening to hindi music and oh its wonderful. His songs are so melodious, so soulful, so beautiful. Always feel like listening to the same song over and over again. Awesome!

A Mountain so easily climbed!

Oh great! Idleness can provoke mind to think of stuffs that stay suppressed during the time of activity and wow.. am i not bored and idle?

Yeah, since the comprees have ended, I can think of nothing but how dumb i've been and still am, wanting do something that i am not very much capable of.. chasing a dream of childhood.. being hopelessly passionate about something i know very little of.. getting library books issued in the hope of learning that 'something' (i've read like just 20 pages of the book, "QED - The Strange Theory of Light and Matter", and am completely awed by it. Hats off to Feynman!).. that 'something' being PHYSICS and me being a Researcher (Even when i'm typing this down, i feel like a complete idiot and cant help laughing at myself!). I sure have succeded in climbing the Mountain!

Feynman says - "The scale of 'light' can be described by numbers - called the frequency - and as the numbers get higher, the light goes from red to blue to violet to ultraviolet. We can't see UV light but it can affect photographic plates. It's still light - only the number is different." Now i want to draw anology in here (Since i've already climbed the Mountain, it doesnt make much difference if i make a fool of myself further!). Red indicates 'Danger' zone and Blue lies in the 'Comfort' zone, so if i replace the 'numbers' with CGPA and 'light' with zones (Zones: Danger to Comfort), people would want to move up the scale. And considering the fact that my 'number' is worthless, plus, me being hopelessly passionate about physics, plus, me knowing nothing much of physics, plus, me not showing much enthu in the 'in' thing - i.e comps, Research line is, as people tell me, not advised at this stage. They say that it can wait and i should concentrate on improving my 'number', i.e. moving it up the scale! (I hope that this semester would drag my 'number' up a bit.. and if it does, then, thanx to Physics CDCs, without which the 'number' might have slided down the scale!) But the problem here is that i am stupid cuz i cant get myself to sit and study.. hey! can i see myself climbing higher on the Mountain? What a stupid analogy! But, I dont care!

After writing about numbers, i feel like writing about my awesome comunication skills. I am simply awesome at killing a beautiful convo (or maybe forcing it to commit suicide) by talking of things irrelevant to the topic of conversation (How can i forget the PS-I GDs?). Why do i blank out in front of a crowd? I do not know.. maybe because climbing that Mountain is too tempting, for it is an easier escape route! It ob is not good! Anyways, lets see.

Mountain.. what Mountain? Mountain of stupidity! A Mountain that i've so easily climbed! And yea.. I've reached such heights that i can barely see the foot of this Mountain!

Crazy!

This is really very crazy but i like the fact that Feynman was a Taurian.

8 mile - a shocking revelation

8 Mile
A semi biography of Eminem. Yesterday started to watch this movie, saw till the point in the movie where B-Rabbit played Eminem gets intimidated by the crowd and doesnt say a word in that rap-something-competition. The movie was a bit slow and the rap thing was tough for me to understand (was barely able to catch a few words), so i switched off the TV. But, curiosity got better hold of me and so switched on the movie again after about 1:30 hrs or so (dont remember).. but the movie was almost over.

Must say that it was a shocking revelation to me. Hadnt imagined that people have to face these kinds of hardships too. God! Now, when i tried listening to eminem again (with lyrics), it shocked me to depths unimaginable (okay, I cant listen to his songs, they have too much of frustration in them.. its a bit tough to tolerate). But the calm look can hold this much of hurt and frustration, i never imagined. It sure was a shocking revelation.

* I guess that i should cut down my intake of rock songs, its having a funny impact on me. :)

Blogosphere

Blogosphere is turning Grey!

Its an article which came in "The Hindu" which says that the senior citizens have stepped into the world of Blogging. The article says that the elderly people enjoy reading blogs and can afford to do so because they have plenty of time in their hands unlike 'young' people who barely find time. The blogs they own is their experiences, their life, documented in the form of posts or some of the bloggers are more sophisticated and maintain video blogs.

What i really find tickling in the article, is that, 'young' people have blogs which is more of 'me me and me'. It almost made me laugh (me again? hehe).

Anyways, Its really nice to know that the Elderly also enjoy what Internet has to offer.
