Today was one of those days when I felt "oh my god what am I doing in life". It has been days since i did bakkar with anyone for a good length of time. My god this country makes life busy for people and puts in a mental barrier called privacy. I miss hostel life. Roorkee was so much fun, I want marwaha, sashi and F-99 back. LIfe without this at night 9 pm looks really difficult to me.

After dinner at 9 pm it starts, I am the guy who starts usually " Dude the system sucks, we never used our brains after clearing the entrance to come in here". And thats enough to trigger a discussion that encompasses so topics one can hardly think of. and all on the cosy bed there with some song for marwaha on the comp. Everytime the sem begins Marwaha says "abhe is bar phodna hai yaar kuch tho karna hai", I still remember these lines. And i knew how this determination used to fade away as time passes.

But we all finally landed ourselves in decent career platforms didn't we, we managed our way through with 4 years of bakkar. Who the hell said grad school life is good and United states is fun. Life sucks, at least cleveland, Ohio sucks big time and roorkee, uttaranchal, India ROCKS.

admiring archimedes

What did this great greek brain give the world, 2 amazing laws in science without which we would still be fumbling in the pre industrial era. The law of buyoncy and the lever principle. I like the 2nd one more, because it is more thoughtful way in which archmides discovered it and of course it has also got to do with the fact that Applied strcutural mechanics is my major. The lever principle might look very elementary to a layman, but the way it was first formulated by archimedes is still astounding. He thought of the principle of virtual work during
232 B.C. when no one had thougt about such things. The statement "GIVE ME A PLACE TO STAND AND I WILL MOVE THE EARTH" was very thoughtful and confident statement from a man who the intricacies of what he was talking. I dont know why, but still such fundamental discoveries in mechanics look more convincing and show sheer talent than a new micromechanical tissue analysis or whatever!!!!!!!!!!

Humming Raaja's tune

These days nothing appeals to me more than the maestro's music. If only my pc could express it's emotions it would start crying " Oh my god again, this guy is playing karagattakaran for the 20th time today". Music keeps a man going and Illayaraja's music keeps a man rocking. "kamam thedum ulagile...nada thyagarajarum, onnai uruki uyiril vilakai erinaramma".... amazing lyrics. he is simply excellent the one and only raaja. Maestro says all musicians cheat people very well and the guy who cheats people better is called the better music director. 25 years this guy has given us flawless music and we never needed to listen to anything else right. I started becoming a raaja fan only during my final and 4th year at Roorkee and I am still exploring on and on the depth's of his tunes. will write more later.
