I wanted to make my own map, and plotting system. Here’s what I imagined. Note: This post is a summary of all that I’ve read, and found to be related to this specific idea of mine — I don’t really know what I can do that would be counted as entirely ingenuous. How the images …

Major Joke: That kid makes up questions for himself, and even those he can’t solve
Major truth: He is truly awesome. Or at least, so I believe. When Lockhart said, In fact, if I had to design a mechanism for the express purpose of destroying a child’s natural curiosity and love of pattern-making, I couldn’t possibly do as good a job as is currently being done. I didn’t quite agree with …
What gives us more pleasure: the pursuit of of our desires or the attainment of them?
From Tony Robbins’s ‘The Monk who sold his Ferrari’: “How would you drop an egg thruogh a height of four feet, with a floor of concrete below, and still not have it cracked?” Trivially, we all begin by thinking how to circumvent the hardness of the concrete, or the weakness of the egg. We do …
Do we value only what we struggle for?
When was the last time you were delighted to get something you were ‘supposed’ to? For instance, how many of us would actually delight in receiving breakfast? Not me! What we do not struggle for, we take as granted — the most fundamental example being our own existence. Rarely would one find somebody so conscientious, he …
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 year’s crusade. …
Know Thyself
Know thyself. — Oracle ‘Nuff Said.
Why did I learn the Alphabet?
For those of you came here to just know the answer, very bluntly put — I don’t know. That perhaps why I asked the question in the first place. Also because the question troubles me. When I used to do it, I never even thought about it. Just like I never thought about anything I did …
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! It was definitely an …
The Opinion Paradox
An opinion of mine: All opinions are spurious, and delusory. Believe in this opinion of mine. Have fun dealing with that one! It seriously pains me, how every body opinionates on every other thing, person, and activity. The worst part perhaps, is how even I, despite being conscious of this terrible habit, fall prone to it often. I …
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 through …
