Our education system

How come one feels so grossly unsatisfied after attending a day's worth of classes?

How come you feel you are losing on something when you listen to the boring lecture blabber?

Why do you need to shut your thoughts to stay sane in class?

Happy Puja, everyone! ...

... As for me, the East remains only a dream...

Music to blow your mind...and in India !

Looks like the Indian contemporary music scene does exist beyond the Bollywood trash one gets to hear everywhere. And not just exists, it's thriving. True, one usually gets to hear of only one-off bands like Pentagram, Parikrama, Swarathma, Indian Ocean, etc. But there's some mindfucking music out there...or under there, let's say...'cuz it's Underground Music which is providing the platform to some truly awesome talent of our times. =)

What's New?

It's Teachers' Day, so I thought why not bore you all with some latest random events in my life...(a thought which in itself is pretty miscellaneous)

1. UrbanDictionary published my word!
Yes, I invented a word- "Rexcitement", which the UrbDic (if I may say so) published! yaay! It's derived from rex, which is Latin for King, and excitement, which is well...English for excitement. Detailed meaning and usage may be referred to here.

2. I discovered a tin of Threptin in my cupboard!

For those of you who do not know Threptin are these protein-rich "The Meal between Meals" biscuits, which taste ghastly. That is, if you are a novice. But for a hard-core addict like me, they are the best thing which happened to the world after low-waisted jeans, psychedelic chemicals, and the resignation of Shashi Tharoor. Also compensate for the awful food I'm served these days.

What to do when faced with seventy armed Hollixes?

Zaphod Beeblebrox had always known something was wrong with his head. Like it had been cut open and then sewn together again, but not very efficiently. The threads used were perhaps what poor Scottish weavers in the 18th century used for patching up kilts. No wonder Zaphod often had the feeling that a bagpipe was playing somewhere around him.

Rechristening

Yeah so I'm renaming this blog Infinite Improbability Drive. You'd know what that means if you've read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Interestingly, now the name also shortens to IID, pronounce-iable as id, which in Fruedian terms is that part of the brain which governs the baser instincts. Cheers!

In Defence of Hair

Yeah, it's not a haystack, it's my hair. No, I did not get it curled or puffed. Yeah, humidity does that to it. Yes, I do get haircuts. 

Stacey's Warning

Hello. My name is Stacey. I am 15 years old and I am beat up by my parents every night. I have bloodshot eyes and moldy hair. I killed my mother. My lips are cut and my nose is broken. This is my story.

Weird e-mail III : Yet more trash!

The third in the series of 'weird e-mail'...to complete the trilogy, so to say?...

Why he makes sense with regard to the 377 brouhaha

Dr. S is our criminal law professor. And everyone hates him because...well, of many reasons. Anyway, one of the primary of those is that he argues that homosexuality is against public morality.

Weird e-mail II

Sequel to my earlier post, Weird e-mail .... =D

Dead roses

Okay guys, so I cleared the first round of the poetry contest, and I've submitted the entry for the second round, the topic for which is 'Flowers'.

Weird e-mail

Here's a funny e-mail I received some days back...Do you think they have a contest to write such things? Then I bet this was the winner, haha! =D. Read on...

Entwined

This is something I'm submitting for a poetry contest. The theme of the first round is 'Ocean'...Pray it wins =P

How to be an amoeba

Life would have been just so easier if we all were amoebae. The way I see it, every wiseman's book recommends the amoeboid life...

A funny conversation

Conversation at lunch today...

Surrealism

It's something I wrote in February...Remembered it again today.
Some people hurt. I wonder sometimes why I let them...

Legen-"wait for it"-dary!

Today was stuff legends are made of. We were [FINALLY !] shown our corrected Criminal Law-I answer sheets, from last trimester, and well, I passed! =D ! The reason for my surprise can be attributed to the following...

Implications of the theory of boredom

I guess boredom is more a universal phenomenon than anything else. Sample this text I received during the classes today...

Ode to summer

Now this might sound a bit odd, but this blog is exclusively for my summers...what I did the previous summers, what I have been doing this summer, and what I'll probably be doing in the summers to come.
