Sine of Madness II

An astronomer, a physicist and a mathematician are on a train in Scotland.
The astronomer looks out of the window, sees a black sheep standing in a field, and remarks, "How odd. Scottish sheep are black."
"No, no, no!" says the physicist. "Only some Scottish sheep are black."
The mathematician rolls his eyes at his companions' muddled thinking and says, "In Scotland, there is at least one sheep, at least one side of which is black."

Finally I'll have a semester in which more than half of the courses are of my interest. Electromagnetics, Linear Algebra, Discrete Mathematical Structures(Mathematical Logic and all) , Linear Programming, and the best- Contemporary Fiction. And this Fiction Course requires us to read Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban! So my plans and attempts at forgetting HP (so that I can enjoy it all over again after a few years) have failed. I'll have to reimmerse myself into that world this year only. Yippee!!!!
P.S: Harry Potter critics- Keep away your disparagin eyes from this post,and try to keep your disapproving comments to yourself.

Dhan Te Nan!

"Aaja Aaja dil Nichode..
Raat ki Matki tode
koi good luck nikale..
aaj ghulak to fode"

Can a song lyrics get stupider than that?

Yes it can,when it comes to Bollywood! Somehow I wonder what would have happened to my soul had I been a hardcore Bollywood fan.


Meanwhile,I'll be leaving for Delhi in 6 hours.Its early yes,but I have some shopping to do.

Misunderstood Matters

Sometimes for doing a noble deed you have to 'act' selfish. People clash, interfere and try to replace your vision for the deed with their own. They manipulate,change and in most cases stop everything altogether. and Then the only way to get the work done is portray your actions as being done for self interest,rather than for the general good.
Everyone wants to be part of a noble deed,even if they in some way, hinder it .But no one wants to interfere with the work of a selfish man unless they themselves feel threatened.

On the other side of the coin,what most people do is disguise their self interest as a noble deed for the general good. There is a thin line between these two, which is difficult for other people to see.

Intricate..........but in my life,I have taken the bitter pill.

Breaking the Fourth Wall

I was reading my last year's posts a while back.And I noticed that my writing style has surely changed...for the worse.I noticed that I was a lot frank and light hearted back then...and writing was a lot easier.
or Is it that I myself has changed over the year? I dont think so...But I do feel the increased number of readers of my blog has affected me ,my ideas and what I decide to publish.Somehow the words I publish do not convey the feeling I want to convey(thats what I felt reading a recent article I wrote on girls). So I have decided on NOT publishing stuff for a while and just saving them..and then publishing it later.That way I wont be conscious of the reader's gaze while writing anything and I will live freely again.
Another thing I have noticed is the lines I write without thinking anything are the most original and describe my feelings in the most honest way,and when I keep editing something in pursuit of a better english or better reading experience for a viewer ,my original thoughts get corrupted in the process.
So..well..thats it I guess.

Sine of Madness

A physicist, a biologist and a mathematician are sitting in a street café watching people entering and leaving the house on the other side of the street. First they see two people entering the house. Time passes. After a while they notice three people leaving the house. The physicist says, "The measurement wasn't accurate."
The biologist says, "They must have reproduced."
The mathematician says, "If one more person enters the house then it will be empty."

Some Holiday moments

Parents are funny....

"This looks like a bank statement.Credits earned etc.. What the hell is it?"
My Dad , while looking at my Semester II grade card.


"Skying Flew/Bird's Fly/ THE Sklew"
Names given by Mom to the new pandemic gripping the world.

"You should really be able to identify edible plants .Like in college, you should easily be able to spot a tulsi plant in front of like say,the law department."
Dad lecturing. After recovering from my bafflement , I sarcastically asked "Law department in IIT?"

"To make an impression in front of your juniors ,always have a first aid kit ready with you."
Maybe Bhatta and Sahil Singla would be the coolest ones next years, acc. to Dad. ;)

Others:

"Sundar bhaiya, 50 Rupiye de do. JINGER khana hai"
A beggar in front of KFC to my utter disbelief. India is for sure getting westernized.

Friends:

"This is so Bollywood"
Tarasha, on for a short vacation, who watched Slumdog in US and US based Kambakkht Ishq here.Its a pity I wasnt able to convince her to watch 'New York'.

"I would love to meet those dumb blondes"
Me to Tarasha.She did come across the Dumb blondes, American Dudes, Geeky Asians,and Cool Niggas out there.
