This will be a short one. After yesterday’s post, I swear. So, I visited a temple (an overrated one, at that) recently. And I asked myself, am I an atheist. I definitely have a problem with religious people, who do all the vegetarianism-bullshit and claim it to be symbolic of some kind of devotion. I …

Failures
I recently received numerous examination results of mine (well, two, to enumerate, but that’s still more than average). And I failed in both. I didn’t fail per se, but the results were pretty bad that they left little, if any, scope for being happy. I consider that failure enough. What’s the value of a result …
Why I started qount-it
There’s that prezi which, in principle, does answer that question. And there are also tiny paragraphs over on the currently open blog (phi). I don’t really know what to add here, so I’ll just tell you a story. I don’t know when the idea came — I don’t even remember if it’s my brother’s idea or …
Save the planet?!
Save yourself. Save the tree, save the bees Save the whales, save those snails And the greatest arrogance of all, “Save the planet”. What?! Are the fucking people kidding me? Save the planet, we don’t even know how to take care of ourselves yet. …
Writing after thought
It’s been ages since I posted something. I want to write about the numerous things I’ve done, the very many thoughts I’ve encountered, and the awesome books I’ve read. But after much thought, it boils down to, who cares? What’s mine, is mine. It’s mostly remain with me, if it needs to. So what’s the …
My Map — II
I see that the original aim of my map: to be able to pinpoint any location on the map with just one piece of information instead of two, was rather randomly far-fetched. What I was imagining, was creating a mapping of all the points in two dimensions to a system in one dimension. Which per …
My own Map
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 …
