The Mathematical Crusade

It hap­pened. Like, two weeks ago. See — that’s how awe­somely fast my life is. Hence, I for­got to tell you about it. Now, I’m pretty offi­cially also called tech.head, while Anurag is called Ac.  Head. And I’ve actu­ally aban­doned most of my anger at that. Here go my “tech­ni­cal” con­tri­bu­tions to this

I Had A Road Accident! :D

Oh yes! Fif­teen days ago. And not just a ran­dom acci­dent. One in which I was hos­pi­tal­ized for three days! And I got to miss all my half-yearlies. Truth be said, I could’ve given the last two HY exams, but why put the effort when I have the option not to!

Hitopadesa — A Penguin India Classic

I reg­is­tered for this “blog a Pen­guin India Clas­sic”, got the book, and didn’t man­age to com­plete it for nearly two months. That goes nowhere to say how good or bad the book was, but does go to say how cal­lous, dis­tracted and shame­less a per­son I am.
Well, I finally man­aged to read

Jonathan Livingston Seagull

A story. Yup. That’s all it is. Minus the adjec­tives.
Life-changing, mem­o­rable, and most influ­en­tial; unfor­get­table and really thor­oughly awe­some. Of course it would only be self-flattering to say any such thing on them­selves. 
It is about a seag­ull with the name of Jonathan Liv­ingston. I could go about telling you the whole story, con­sid­er­ing its just

Does History Repeat Itself?

Q. Prompt:

–Mark Twain
Assign­ment: Does his­tory repeat itself? […] Write an essay.

The Eight Irresistible Principles of Fun

A Must-Watch. I mean I’ve been telling it to nearly all the peo­ple I’ve met. You just got  to see this. Cause if you don’t, trust me, you’re wast­ing your life.
Update: I absolutely for­got to men­tion that you could see the proper flash video of the same, which makes it eas­ier to nav­i­gate,

99 — Unexpectedly Nice!

I acci­den­tally watched a movie. Hindi one, start to end. Which is an over­whelm­ing shock. . But yeah, it was 99, and rather unex­pect­edly, fun too! Well, the only fun I had expected, was from Cyrus Broacha — but whoa, there was a hell lot more. I won’t exactly go into the details of

What is the ulti­mate answer to life, uni­verse and every­thing?
What is the num­ber of this post on this blog?
 
Here goes my 42nd post. It ain’t exactly no land­mark, but still. Have fun. Can you imag­ine you actu­ally bore the tor­ture for so long? 
Or per­haps, did

Happy Towel Day!

I missed the Towel Day, which was to be cel­e­brated on the 25th of May. Which is in fact. a very sad thing to hap­pen, but yeah… I’ll take care not to miss it the next time around! 364 days left for it, after all! :-O
You can also know if it is Towel Day, just to

FluteBox & BeardyMan

An Amaz­ing piece — there are sup­pos­edly other human “beat­boxes” as well. But I’m pretty sure these guys are the best. Hope I could find them to learn that from any one of them some day.… (Espe­cially the Flute one!)
