its all that .. (!)

hey guys!

that's two posts in a day, but then, that's the point right. expression and all that :)

re-discovered bruce springsteen today. 'the boys are back in town' and 'Cadillac ranch'. wow! no wonder he was so goddarn popular  =)

took a long walk today, got a friend over and drank awesome khus juice!

started entrance preparation like Finally! logical reasoning and all, its actually great fun you know; thinking which two statements are logically congruent, clocks and calenders, venn diagrams and all ...

i was thinking about *guess what* *pause*  MATHS today. i don't know one person who doesn't complain about taking (having, rather) maths. 'so hard', 'so much practice to do', 'so much left', 'bad teacher', 'i don't get anything' are like the first of a million complaints. and i have to admit, i'm not that great at maths. but i enjoy doing it; specially geometry. i promise ;P

i read these amazing quotes about it too.
here's a sample:

1) "In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them." 


2) “Mathematics is made of 50 percent formulas, 50 percent proofs, and 50 percent imagination.”


So cool, right? 

Roads and those

lets talk about the longest running show on indian television - roadies! i doubt there's a single one of us who hasn't seen even one episode of this famous, unpopular with parents, controversial reality show. ;)


some of us may think that all these people on roadies and splitsvilla are naturally this vicious and spiteful, and often, full of so much venom. but as yorish from the invasion said - "In the right situation, we are all capable of the most terrible crimes. To imagine a world where this was not so ... is to imagine a world where human beings cease to be human." 


this just means that when it comes to competition, in the right circumstances, we'd really do anything. this probably explains how and why mohit voted zaid out last week. when its a case of survival, we cease to have all those Christian values of compassion and benevolence et al. suddenly the thought of a mother snake eating her recently hatched young doesn't seem so gruesome, does it? :)


but this doesn't mean we are like that all the time. its important to remember that certain situations can bring out the animalistic instincts in us; it doesn't influence our daily life; which is affected by what we've learnt through civilisation. 

happy happy!

Went to a friend's place today; early afternoon right until now. there is seriously nothing like spending a day alone with a close friend. i guess its your comfort level you know, you feel this ease with certain people, where you're never really censoring what you want to say; and doing what freud calls free association - talking whatever comes to mind and not blocking anything. it sometimes works as a stress buster (often, more like). remember the last time you ranted on and on about something to a friend on the phone, like for hours, and felt so amazing after that? ;)

if you do, then you know what i'm talking about.

and then we did the usual; walked in to a mall! just some window shopping, some brownie and chocolate eating, pepsi drinking, then back!

came back to what - more ipl watching. seriously now i'm fed up of it. there's so much cricket you can watch in a month right? i enjoy watching cricket, really. but too much of this is not good. for me.

now i'm planning to get back to some work, my studying for this year is so not over! starting slowly, i should be able to build a consistent pace in a week, by when it will totally be time to get headlong into this ..

cheerio!

beginning

hey guys!

this is my second blog. the first one just didn't work; i had created it in some frenzy of enthusiasm after i read about all these successful bloggers .. i guess i wasn't me then to sit in front of this and type. now i'm hoping for a new beginning - like so many of us do so often .. not a problem i think, (to shoot another cliche at you) the world runs on hope. right?

i have got over with my class 12 boards. on 23rd in fact. now, i just enjoying what life is like without timetables and strict schedules and deadlines for everyday. not for long, though. entrance time is closer than i'd like to believe. so another two days; of mall-hopping and movie-watching, and then we're back to business :)

but i'll keep in touch with you and more importantly, with myself and my ideas.

have a good day!
