111.1

Yes. I've decided to tell the world.

      Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong

 This is my favorite epigram - which applies in situations where I hope it won't.

This, compared to the title, is 500% optimistic.111.1₂ is nothing but the number I dread -  7½. 

Actually, anything with a "half" part in it would do, but the worst number is 7½. All sorts of crazy things happen to me when there is anything with a 7½.  


For example, if I boot my computer at 7 : 30 (AM or PM. The number is enough.), it won't boot or there will be a power cut. If I correct someone's test paper (physics or biology or any class test), they get 7½ irrespective of whether the test is for 10 or 20 marks. Majority scored 7½ in the most recent English composition - I read the marks to ma'am.


Even though I am agnostic and I don't believe in superstitions (gave up my predictions on a good class/ bad class), this really makes me think - if I should "delve deeply" and experiment with it or I should "fear" a mere number.


Agnosticism and Linkin Park Rock!

 

A Wednesday...

Today is the first time I call Wednesday "good" because :

1. Sanskrit Period Free
2. Good time talking in the class..
3. I have a small hope of getting a new device with a "mystery feature"
4. I am still alive typing in this blog after 4xLOD

Wow.. Can't recollect any funny thing today except the 2nd anniversary celebrations.....


Thought : Be happy if you meet someone as confused as you.

Two 'Eyes' and One 'Tea' = SUPER CONFUSION

In case you don't know, this is the most awesome Indian college - IIT..

The dream college of all(Hmm.. a person I know has a very different ambition! So I won't say all) most - IIT was the topic of discussion today...

For the first time, I had a discussion with my friends (after school) about why we should go to coaching classes just to clear an entrance exam.... As mentioned by Arjun perfectly - Indian Institute of Tension - more frequently called IIT sets its entrance exam so tough that only the most brilliant of all can actually clear the exam with flying colours and the rest have to keep hoping that they would not be left out because of the 50% Quota or something....

Coming back to the discussion we had, the first question was : Why can't we study by ourselves? Why should we go to the infamous institutions like FIITJEE or SMART or Brilliant Tutorials, pay a lot knowing that you can't be sure about clearing the entrance exam?

I got "inspired" and actually, it is definitely valid asking this question. Why not have faith in yourself, work hard and succeed? It sounded absolutely like a "Personal Development" lecture despite the fact that I knew I was telling... How could I get so serious?

Asking the same question to my friend, we both came to the entrance gate of our school... Unfortunately, the day wasn't so lucky I suppose... There was another conversation which started exactly the same thing once we went there. Left with no other choice, I and my friend heard the usual parents' version of "Which IIT coaching class is better?" staring at each other helplessly..

OMG. Lots.Of.HW.To.Do. I better sleep rather than complete the HW

Moral : Even if you think you are serious or you are actually serious, you are YOU. Unfortunately, this time it is going to be a real for-your-good moral :( ...  "Never lose your seriousness once you are serious about studies since you aren't used to be serious about it very frequently"...

(K)Night and Day

It's been one hell of a weekend for me... Well, I wouldn't call it a weekend at all!


The newest equation I learnt was :
Sleepless Friday Night + Saturday Full Day School + Powerpoint = REAL MADNESS

Sitting in front of the computer is all through the day and night is what I've wanted and I never thought I would end up doing all sorts of crazy stuff (presentation) instead of Gaming...

Have no more time to spare.


PS : Knight and Day was a good film

Surprisingly, neither mom nor dad came this time!
