There was this talk going on in one of our extra-curricular sessions about 'RELATIONSHIPS'. Well, a few talked about their friends and the kind of relationships they'd had in their past and the regular crap. And then rose a gentleman amongst us and started talking about spark, magic and all that. The obscureness in his speech interested me to a good deal and moreover I strongly agreed with what he told. This is what he told[in my own words of what I could perceive] "All may tell the various reasons for their love, and why they liked their friends, but the fact is that there’s always this spark, or hidden magic that attracts people and make them fall in love or even friendship. The magic strings each other and builds the bond." [Seemed he'd been hit by a thunderbolt like what happened to Michael Corleone due to Appollonia Vitelli in Godfather ;)] And the person who was heading the conference did not agree with him[Of course he was counselor or somebody, he...

I'm totally sick of examinations and stuff. World's worst stressors are exams. I've always had this opinion right from my childhood. Hmmm... So to get a break I was running through my old memories and thoughts. One such is the admiration for this quote, "Sometimes people are beautiful. Not in looks. Not in what they say. Just in what they are." --Markus Zusak The quote itself is amazing. Reminds me of so many things. And note that Markus Zusak's wonderful book called 'The Book Thief' which was a good read. Laziness blocks me from writing more. ;)

Disclaimer: The following words are not generalized at all, they're specific to a few persons. Does the post's title sound like, "But, why's the rum gone?".*silly* I wish I had been born 200 years earlier. Look at the world today, hmm ok the men today. Shouldn't a girl expect the lowest degree of decency from a man? It's even okay when your mind is as dirty as a dustbin, but why do you show? Mischievousness is accepted only to a tolerable extent. Man!!, there's no trace of chivalry in today's men as a matter of fact there's no trace of purity in a few of  today's women[I know it's a disgrace to the whole community]. God!, Save the men, Heal the world!! P.S - I think these days I'm becoming more cynical. I'll try not to reflect that on my posts.

I don't know why I chose to read '2 States' over 'The Subtle Knife'. My copy of 'Subtle Knife' is sleeping in the shelf. I wish I had finished it off instead of reading this one. M' Okay let me tell why this book was so insipid, [beware of spoilers hehe!] Possible reasons why I picked up this book: 1. Thought it would be a light-read. 2. It involved IIM A 3. Curiosity to know the speciality of Tamil girls 4. Heard it is a slapstick comedy [ which is not, in any way] Top reasons why I disliked it: 1. Cliched plot with stale scenes. [Ithellam nanga 'Poovellam Kettupar' la ye pathutomm, Chetan!!] 2. Making fun of South-Indians went overboard. [where Punjabis were never hurt in any dialogues, a very feeble mocking was clear] 3. Nothing less than a Bollywood drama, too filmy! 4. Totally predictable. 5. Ananya herself [there're are a multitude of reasons to hate her, which I won't enumerate here] 6. The feeling of reading his p...

"If conversation was the lyrics, laughter was the music, making time spent together a melody that could be replayed over and over without getting stale."  — Nicholas Sparks Today I spent the best of hours in almost a month. We had a reunion with my intimate friends [my lovely cousin incl. but separately]. In case of my friends, it started off with kidding each other and ended with 'miss you's. And with Pavi, it's all about the big laughs we had commenting on others photos, and making fun of the stupid guy who spammed my phone's inbox with funny messages (rofl). There's an assurance with Pavi, which is more laughs per minute. She's a wisecracker you know? Lovely moments!! The above quote reflects my feelings on the reunion. God! I miss y'all terribly.

Does anyone think that I write in an elderly way? Because I have no clue why some people misinterpret my age.  First of all, let me tell you my looks are not in anyway linked here to this topic. :P The count has gone to 3, the people who thought that I am elder than what I really am. Let me substantiate, the other day my cousin showed my blog to her friend and was told that her friend didn't believe that I am in my early 20's...blow me!!... why would she think so?? Ok, and another day my blogger friend [we know each other through a mutual friend] thought that I was her friend's[the mutual friend] akka or somebody...SHOOT me!! Even my classmate thinks so... I went back through my posts once again and felt ill at ease. And you know "I am my own worse critic",  so I guess my posts didn't reflect my youthful nature ;)....nangalum youth than nangalum youth than...heheh! What am I supposed to do just ramble something hyperactively to prove my age? Anyway if I...

If a match is intefered by rain and the result is restrained by it, they calculate a score [which is unlikely] by the Duckworth-Lewis method. But how do they do that? Am I the only one who never understood the Duckworth Lewis method. Okay, I was so vetty that I took pains[:P] to do a petty research about it.[Mostly Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V work]. Who are these complicators? The D/L method was devised by two English statisticians, Frank Duckworth and Tony Lewis. Applying the D/L method The procedure for setting a revised target, which is the same for any number of stoppages at any stage of the match, is as follows. For each team's innings (a) from the table note the resource percentage the team had available at the start of their innings; (b) using the table, calculate the resource percentage lost by each interruption; (c) hence calculate the resource percentage available. If Team 2 have less resources available than Team 1, then calculate the ratio of the resources available to th...
