Oh my god man, can you believe it, its been more than a year since I started this blog… I was just reading some old posts and I can’t believe how much I have changed.. I am like a whole different person now..
Anyway, People celebrate birthdays even of their dead kids and this blog isn’t dead, just asleep. So I guess it deserves a wish..
Belated Happy Birthday “Back and Forth”!!
Oh my god.. I’m almost nostalgic.. so signing off!
Yes, its the love tag doing the round of this part of the blogosphere these days. I have been tagged by Reema and the title comes from Priya’s comment on Arvind’s post.
RULE #1 People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs and replace any question that they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves.
RULE #2 Tag 6 people to do this quiz and they cannot refuse. These people must state who they were tagged by and cannot tag the person whom they were tagged by. Continue this game by sending it to other people.
I’m gonna go ahead and steal Reema’s style by posting pictures, but I’m gonna write the answers, so its a mix and match. Here it is:
1. If your lover betrayed you, what will your reaction be?
I will ask her and find out why before going into depression and isolation for several weeks.
2. If you can have a dream to come true, what would it be?
Perfect life, which means I am a successful director, and going out with Hilary Duff, with lots of money.
3. Whose butt would you like to kick?
Right now, Mr. Bansal, the owner of Bansal Classes.
4. What would you do with a billion dollars?
Make movies, publish novels, buy subway (restaurant), buy a Ford gt40, buy the fucking IIT.
5. Will you fall in love with your best friend?
I would prefer not to, but love is not a choice 😉
6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone?
Being loved, always!
7. How long do you intend to wait for someone you really love?
28 days 6 hours 42 minute 12 seconds [DD]
Ok, seriously, if there is no inclination from her side, then until she is happily married.
8. If the person you secretly like is already attached, what would you do?
Win her over… what else?
9. If you like to act with someone, who will it be? Your gf/bf or an actress/actor?
Will Smith.
10. What takes you down the fastest?
A lift, nothing faster exists for taking us down, as far as I know.
11. How would you see yourself in ten years time?
Through a time machine…
ok seriously, I don’t know, I am trying to figure it out.
12. What’s your fear?
Not being needed, living a worthless life.
13. What kind of a person do you think the person who tagged you is?
A teacher to the core, with an alter ego of a student.
14. Would you rather be single and rich or married but poor?
Single and rich, at least you can buy things to distract yourself.

Chao!
Let me see, I wrote the last post about my life in July. Not much has been going on though, as nothing much happens in this dreaded town. Nevertheless, I would like to update you guys on what’s been going on with me a little…
Firstly, let me apologize, for I realized that ever since I have come here, surprisingly, I have been talking too much about girls and relationships. In fact I’d go as far as saying that I had become obsessed with these topics. But, as for my love of theories, I have come up with a theory for this too. You see, firstly, I just turned 16 and a fresh pang of hormones hit my body, and more importantly my environment changed. Of all the guys I know in Kota, 80% of them are in relationships(of course with girls). 10% don’t want to be in one, 5% are desperate to be in one but are afraid to do something and 5% want it but deny it, saying that their studies will be affected. The thing with humans is that we follow what the majority is doing. In fact some researchers have proved that of majority of people say that 2+2 is not equal to 4, most people would be ready to change their answer. The same applies here. When most guys I know, are in relationships, and happy being in them, my brain thinks that it is something to be pursued and will help me be happy, and it must be good for me because most of them are doing it. I don’t know whether it’s good for me or not, but I certainly think about girls more, and girls make constant appearances in my dreams(pleanty to catch up with there). Anyway, the point was that apologize to you guys and myself too, for having done that.
Well, moving on, after July came August. The test of August 3 went bad, and besides celebrating the independence day doing nothing, I also went home for 4 days in the middle of August. Catching up with not so old friends and having fun after quite a long time. Despite my sister’s big ego issues that I wasn’t giving that much attention to her, I managed to be happy for those days. But, no one was satified. Parents said we spent too much time with friends, friends said we spent too little time with them, we felt we didn’t get much time at home after so many months. All in all a fruitful trip :P. Oh, and Vipul(my ex-room partner) showed me the pictures of her “dearly beloved”. Have to say, not at all what I imagined. We also celebrated his birthday on the 25th, and I gifted him a frame for the photo of his “db”. See, how thoughtful of me? (Yes, I’m insecure).
Anyway, I also happened to check out that latest delighting news about the IITs that how the OBCs will now only need 50% of the marks gotten by last candidate of the general category who got in. Obviously, generals still have the same number of seats, but the thing is that the institute is being diluted, its credibilty will be lost by the time I pass out, I guess. I don’t understand why we still play the old dirty game of “divide and rule”? I guess Bhagat Singh was right in a way when he said that independence through congress would just replace the whites with the browns, poor will still suffer and they still do. We have 1/3rd of the poorest people of the world living in India. The day I read it, I made up half my mind to leave for home the very same day. But, then I thought that maybe I could get into a foreign institute, as they say that if you have prepared for IIT, you have prepared for all of ’em. Cuz seriously, I am done with Indians. More on that later I guess(Yes, I still have a lot left).
I’ve also joined a new private Maths tution here, because my luck so far with maths teachers at the institute has been bad. And the first day, I accidently attened a 12th class batch, but didn’t have the balls to say it after realizing that after the first ten minutes, so I sat there for an hour and a half drawing on my copy. I’ve been pretty sick the whole last week with cold and fever, and have been spending my days pretty much in bed, thus the inactivity in the blogosphere. That, and my lack of creativity for coming up with comments, but that’s not the point here. And as a result of spending most of my time in bed, I have been having more dreams, and pretty good ones, you know the ones which make you feel miserable when you wake up, because you realize that life in reality still sucks and nothing will change for the next two years. And the hangovers of these dreams have been even worse. Seriously, like the other day, I woke up from such a dream to read an sms from my friend as follows:
A true love happens only once in d life time,
If it fails,
Then remaining is just a compromise with the 1and with our life.
Sad but True!
To which, in my post waking up hang over of the dream, I replied:
Ha Ha… Sad? I’d say funny enough to stab myself in the heart with it.
Man, he must have thought I was a freak.
Anyway, I am ok now, and in full swing to clean up my room, my studies and my blogging habits and my life. Bye for now.
So, I was going through my RSS and I found this interesting post on boingboing.net by about unusual measurement method used in this cup:
Harry White designed this measuring cup with units of measure like “tyrannosaurus rex brain,” “vol. of body cells that die on a good day,” and “enough plutonium to make a bomb.” He also has a cookbook with recipes that use these measurement units.
