There and back again

My last blog-entry was posted on the date, 09-09-09, and after a brief moment of dormancy, this one comes and the date today is 10-01-10, if nothing else, it sure is a binary representation of ... - never mind. Anyhow, there is no excuse for being so inactive for last three months. And today is probably a bad day to make a comeback as mostly on Sundays, when I have nothing to do, my brain feels bruised with numbed surprise. I hope the last line gives you an idea of what I am trying to say. If it does, please let me know, because it doesnt make any sense to me. So I will restrict myself to some of my activities and findings in the last few months.


I was in Kuala Lumpur for the new year celebrations. I have added KL to my list of 'Perfect Places For My Post-Retirement Plans'. Its high standard of living coupled with low cost of living makes it an ideal place. On top of it, any foreigner can buy property there. I came to know that Shah Rukh Khan just bought a mansion there. Wouldnt be that bad to have him as a neighbour.

I realized that I can enjoy sleeping for long hours on a regular basis.

I got admitted to TU Delft for the fall 2010 semester. I believe I took going Dutch quite seriously.

I had seen the Matrix Trilogy about 20 times and had never come to know the secret of as how did the sun appear in the end and everything went fine thereon. But after reading the 'Bits and Pieces of Information' I can understand a lot about the machine world.

After getting bored with Tolkein, I have started reading Douglas Adams. I am currently on the Part 3 in the Trilogy of 5. [Part 3: Life, the Universe and Everything]

I want to share much more, but my laptop's battery is over and my charger's pin is broken and I have the other charger in the lab and I am in no mood to go to the lab on a Sunday and ... whatever...this post will be continuuueee........<.>

I have been reading the about the imaginary worlds of Tolkien for the last ten days now and its hard to stay in touch with reality after that. In just one week I have finished The Children of Hurin and The Silmarillion books and trust me, I am only able to think about the Elves and the Valars only during my waking hours. In fact I even had a dream in which I was an Elvish lord. But when one thinks of this stuff, its amazingly easy to draw analogies between the races of the Middle Earth plus the lands far beyond its realm and the actual world.
Another thing is the way Tolkien writes. I almost read them as if I singing. And it got so onto my mind that sometimes I start using that poem like style in my thoughts and that is a very distracting thing to happen when you have serious things to think about.
The only other thing I have done in last 10 days is watch the latest Final Destination in which they finally negate the whole point of the first three parts. Anyhow it was a good watch partly because the movie hall was empty but some 7-8 odd people at an ungodly hour.
And the latest thing on the Done List happens to be this post which was just for passing time as the last 50MB of The People vs Larry Flynt are downloaded onto my computer. Got a busy night ahead. 26 seconds left. Time just enough to say bye. Still 10 seconds left. Ah!

Oh My God

Yes, that was what I uttered about a few days back when I made the following observations:

OMG Moment I: I had no blog entry for the month of May and the month of June was also going post-less...

OMG Moment II: There are no stray dogs in Singapore, not even one (I know you won't believe that, but trust me)

OMG Moment III: There are no pet cats in Singapore, only stray cats (again: my observation, subject to corruption)

OMG Moment IV: The per capita population of dogs is higher than that of humans (per capita calculated on a per house basis)

OMG Moment V: I haven't had alcohol or a smoke (in any form) in last 40 days

OMG Moment VI: When I realized that I had let myself become victim to classical form of capitalism (true story, shall appear later in this blog)

ps: the title does not have any connection to any living person, not that it could not have, but still clarifying

the inconvinient truth

Life is just not fair. Think about it. Had it been fair, wouldn't it have been unfair to all of us. Come on, our sense of joy essentially (indirectly) comes from someone else's suffering/failure. Hence, there is no Utopia/Atlantis. Q.E.D.

Dont worry, I am not going insane, but its just the Post-B-Tech-Project-Presentation-Hubba-Bubba-Syndrome. There are two main aims for this presentation.

Aim #1: for the professors to get their frustrations out. (frustration leads to depression).

Aim #2 to humiliate the students by making them realize that how insignificant it is now to even thinking of working for 12 f****** credits. (humiliation leads to aggression).

revolutionary road

dear friends/readers,
this is not a spoiler post but about 'n' number of things you can do if you plan to go and watch the legendary, "The Revolutionary Road" in a hall.

1. if you have always wanted to try your hands on the games on your mobile phone and havent been able to do so for a long time.

2. if you want to desperately set a new high score on your favourite game on your mobile phone.

3. if you want to widen your social circle; but you can only hope to have a hot girl/guy sitting next to you.

4. if you have not been able to catch up on your life lately, it would be great to get a bit nostalgic

5. if you have not been able to get a proper sleep for a few days; movie halls are perfect places to sleep.

6. "do comment if you found anything else interesting that i might have missed out"
