A friend of mine once used the analogy of a sine curve to describe feelings. And I have never found a better one. Though going by my normal tendency to dramatise things, I call it a roller-coaster.
Take today for example. I accidentally broke the 2 scented candles I'd bought for a couple of my friends. The plastic bag tore and fell right at the moment I was giving to someone. Came safe all the way from Toronto to here, but had to break at the ultimate moment. It's so depressing.
And then I wasted more than an hour in attempts to, umm, "shikaar"-karofy. Well Hindi mein yahi badal ke aata hai. Which magically panned out eventually. Yay! :D
But then I realized that information is a two-edged, very sharp sword, that needs to be used with lots of care!
Being civil when I'm pissed is so not my forte.

Scratch
I like Scratch :D At least for now. For those who dunno what it is, it is a programming application for beginners. It allows you to make use of a fun interface to implement algorithms. Since it is aimed mainly at small children, it has a cat as the protagonist, who is capable of saying "Meow". This is the first time that I am actually playing around with a software when I am supposed to, not 1 day before exam. Probably because it is simple, and only mildly challenging, at least the questions so far, I am working on it in the tutorial right now, instead of listening to the prof. Haha.
As has recently been pointed out to me, my blog can be perceived as frightening, and, I quote, "a super hyper hormonal overrush of emotions!". Interesting. I've never really thought about this. But I guess it is possibly true. Mainly because it is my place for ranting, venting, complaining, cursing, being depressed and depressing others. So I try to put the negative thoughts in my head in the blog, so I can be more sunshine-ey in real life. Also, I blog mainly when I have turmoil in my head; rarely when I'm happy. Hence, the abundance of depressed posts here. Plus, as I have discovered in the past, I am a person whose normal state is depressed. What can I say, "some people are more comfortable in hell". (It's a quote from the TV series 24). Wait, why am I justifying myself? :O I write because I like writing, since a Maths major does not give that much room for literary pursuits. I do not write to attract the attention of people or to make them feel concerned for my well being, I write more for my peace of mind.
The number of Facebook 'friends' one has is by no means a measure of how many friends they have in real life.
It really bugs me when people say 'typo' when they write down something wrongly. A TYPO is when you TYPE something wrong, not write down something on a piece of paper wrong. Dumbass!
Oh oh I have a tutor called DONG! My head kind of exploded when he told us. I cracked so many Dong jokes during tutorial yesterday. And he was encouraging us to call him when we had problems with tutorial, and also when we went to Clarke Quay. "See who I brought! I brought Dong!" :D Russell Peters should so meet this guy! Would you like some Shlong with that Dong ? :P

Everly - The Girl In The Moon
The girl in the moon
Is alone with the stars
And the spaceships
The girl in the moon
Is alone and alive
With the dust and the air
Nothing grows
Everything is moving
But only goes in circles
And no one to talk to
Is reason enough to be blue
The girl in the moon
With her dreams
Has a steel melting smile
But the girl with the blues
In the moon
Hasn't smiled in a long while
We've been waiting to see
If this girl she will smile
You know we've been waiting
Here for such long while.
Is alone with the stars
And the spaceships
The girl in the moon
Is alone and alive
With the dust and the air
Nothing grows
Everything is moving
But only goes in circles
And no one to talk to
Is reason enough to be blue
The girl in the moon
With her dreams
Has a steel melting smile
But the girl with the blues
In the moon
Hasn't smiled in a long while
We've been waiting to see
If this girl she will smile
You know we've been waiting
Here for such long while.
The beginning of the end.
1st Jan 2012
Today is the First of January, the first day of the year that Nostradamus, among many others, predicted would mark the end of the human civilization as we know it. And the decline has already begun. Today, when we woke up from our hangovers from last night's wild partying, switched on our laptops to start replying to the gazillion emails and New Year wishes, we found out that the damned internet wouldn't connect. It seems to be the same story with all our friends and family, and as the News Channels inform us, it seems to be a much larger scale problem. The whole picture is not clear yet, but it seems to be a global phenomenon.
7th Jan 2012
It's been a week since internet all around the world has been down. Despite day and night efforts by all sorts of technicians everywhere, they are as yet unable to locate the cause behind it, let alone solve it. While speculations in the media are rife about a global terrorist threat, those who had predicted this to be the year of the apocalypse have become even more vocal, and are calling this just the beginning. Many strange and seemingly unexplainable disappearances and weather phenomenon have been noted, despite efforts by governments to suppress such information, for fear of mass panic. Fear and uncertainty have crept into the daily lives of one and all, and many of those who were earlier cynics about the end of the world explanation are now beginning to change their minds.
The gigantic impact that the absence of internet has had economically as well as socially is indeed astounding, and it is gradually becoming clearer how completely dependent the human race had become on technology.
31st Jan 2012
A month into this horrific year, and we are still trying to get accustomed to lives without internet. Some positive points have emerged nonetheless. The resourcefulness of humans, when pushed against the wall, is once again becoming apparent. The quick-fix solutions that various companies and banks have come up with indeed provides some hope in these otherwise gloomy days. Not surprisingly, most of these solutions have come from the 2 Asian emerging superpowers, India and China. If it can indeed be fathomed that someone can benefit from the current world catastrophe, it is these two nations. While countries which are too accustomed to things always following set patterns and going right, for once being used to nothing working seems to be working perfectly in India's advantage. As all eyes turned to the US to be a global leader, all that has come out of the country is panic. The downfall of America, which started with Sept 11 might indeed be cemented this year, assuming any of us make it out alive. Obama, who brought so much hope during his Presidential campaign has seemed unable to deal with something of this magnitude. In his recent press interviews, he has had a haggard look, and his assurances to the American people that they are trying their best, and to have patience and faith, seems to be falling on deaf ears. He is no longer the man with the solutions.
p.s. To all those cynical about the end of the world in 2012 stories, don't worry I am one of you too. This random "story" just came into my head while I was supposed to be studying, so I decided to pen it down. Let's hope the world, and more importantly internet, never come to an end! Cheers :)

Kaise batayein
So I think I've managed to befuddle my mind into not knowing what is acceptable and what not anymore. For example, when I'm in a bus, I'm not sure anymore if it right to drive on the left side or right side. Ok I should stop wailing about this before people start collecting rotten tomatoes to throw at me next time they see me :D
So what's new? Hmm, lemme see. Nothing. And everything. But it's a different kind of new. Since it's been old before. Blah blah. Too early morning for philosophical shit.
I'm beginning to miss human company, after 2 weeks of trying to escape from it. Why must everyone be doing IA? :|
