Those nostalgic RED walls...

It's not just about those red walls...
It's about the people who have been there...lived there...

It's about eating together...those first cigs..nanu ki chai...

It's about that craziness...insanity…meaningless loud songs from rooms all day…all nights...
It's about those never-ending rumors...those screaming-voice-incidents from girls hostel...
It's about those white-ghosts-at-the-hostel-terrace stories...and those conspiracies…
The endless gyaan...funde… juniors...
Those fights..strikes..anti-principal'ism…

It's about those classrooms...those sleepless nights...questions with no answers...
It's about that usual chaos..confusion...exam dates......and those new syllabi/pattern cribs...
It’s about those..question-paper leak stories...vivas…practicals..file assignments..submissions...marks ...cut throat competitions...and what not!

It's about those last parting days...

...and everyone was nice..was a friend..then!

Superpower crap...

There could be many benefits of acquiring some sort of powers over people around...but collectively they form what I'll call them as a MILD superpowers..

REAL superpowers might include the ability to bend steel...fly like superman..shoot fire from your eyes...etc etc.

FULL-STRENGTH superpowers would be the ones that would make it *extra* easy to kill people...or keep you from getting killed. These are the best ones to have.
If you're telling me...you haven't ever concentrated on someone’s head...just to see if you can make it burst into flames...you’re lying!

Unfortunately, I only have MILD superpowers.

A MILD super power would be...for example...the ability to scratch the middle of your own back...but..that's just an example.

My MILD superpower is the ability to make people temporarily nicer....
When people don’t know what I think of them...they tend to treat me the same way that they treat everyone else.
Often..a guy(and rarely a gal) recognizes my face(I might look like those decent/innocent/gentleman/ignorent types...), suddenly becomes a little bit nicer.
I get more smiles...offers to help me in some way or the other.
I think that always makes people happy...and happy people are nice people...
And then...you witness a maroon turning into a *nice* chap...

I have other MILD superpowers too..like I cant remember phone numbers..bug numbers..and even birthdays..believe me that's a MILD superpower.
Oh yes..I cant even remember names..specially if that's a girl .
I could have a best friend for say 5 years..but if he goes away for a month and comes back without a name tag, it's going to be awkward..(for him).
My memory subsystem is simply not optimized for certain data types...
All this makes people treat me special...my cousins call me to remind me of their own birthdays...etc etc.

Oh, btw...I recently had a chance(read MILD superpower) to be able to *shutdown* and *retrieve* a friend of mine...:) (no offenses meant).

(with tongue-in-cheek)

Poised again...

giving me nuts actually..

link1
..so many ways to look at things...
Who decides ..what's *right* and what's *wrong*...?
Should prostitution be legalized..?
Are you allowed to wear Indian flag on mini skirt..?
What's the right age to order a drink..?
Is it ok to have pre-martial sex..?
Who decides when a party is over..You or the State?
Why should a bride be a virgin...?
Do we need moral policing..?
...
...

link2
Why do you have to lean either this side or that..?
Can we afford to see the world in just black or white..?
If, something is good, does that mean the opposite is bad..?
Can't there be more that just one point of view in the world..?
..
..
The way you see a particular situation depends on which side you see it from... (relativity).

"Gravity" conspiracies..

"Gravity" :- Not too long ago an apple landed on Newton's head and he loudly announced that there exists a force known as "Gravity"!!!

Now...what's tinkering me are..things like..what if we don't have "Gravity"?...and at the first place why the heck Newton called it "Gravity"?...could'nt he name it something else?...what actually prompted him to name it "Gravity" only..?

Or probably it dose'nt even exist at all..it's just that the apple dropped so hard that Newton lost his mind and invented this whole thing. Things do go up too.. you know... ;)

In that case...it would be an irrelevant thing to ask...the real question I should be bothering then should be: Is it gravity that pulls us or an invisible layer in the clouds that pushes us...???

But, I personally think..."Gravity" is like Matrix...you have to believe it really bad!

whatever it is..but for sure..."Gravity" is an *undue attraction*...and that might explain some of the behaviorals...:
---->I'm feeling an *undue attraction* towards girl A...that's "Gravity"!
---->I'm feeling an *undue attraction* towards girl B...that's "Gravity" again!!
---->And therefore...I'm revolving around both of them in an orbit that is proportional to the force of attraction and the period around each tends to half an year....[We'll call it kepler's law of heartly motion.] :)

Things that occurred..
-> without "Gravity" people would *fall* upwards...
-> jaws would'nt drop at sights of hot chics...
-> and obiously belts would prove to be useless...
-> you would'nt need RED BULL to get wings... ;)
-> without "Gravity" girls won't need a bra!!!
-> if we wont have gravity then guys wont be able to get laid ! and we *do not want that*!...CHEERS! to gravity and whatsoever to everyone else! ]
-> uncles would stop worrying about premature ejaculations [**needs citation**]
-> men would have high-pitched voices as their balls would'nt drop..
-> all the men would have Dali moustaches...
-> Without gravity your shit wont drop...and so if you'r kinda constipated...you might need a lil more of "Gravity"...
-> just imagine oceans without gravity...would be easy for birds to eat fish...
-> might be difficult to cook without "Gravity"...
-> I guess without gravity...marriage would mean getting magnets to stick bride and the groom together for life...or probably binding them with a belt or something. Noone would like that!
-> No "Gravity" might also mean no clothes actually....
Proof:
----->No "Gravity" ---> lot of randomness. (like..no orbits, and all other crap..etc..etc)
----->Lot of randomness ---> lot of freedom.
----->Lot of freedom ---> lot of possibilities.
----->Lot of possibilities --> lot of fun.
----->Lot of fun ---> lot of babes.
----->and there's no fun when babes have clothes... :)
You might argue..why do we see Astronauts wearing spacesuits traveling to the space(no "Gravity" zones)...probably it's not a spacesuit...It's just an enclosure for the pixies...astronauts are really/actually nude inside the spacesuit... :)

Newton actually used many names for gravity, including his preferred nomenclature, "apple-falling-down-thing". But...unfortunately...when Newton later tried to market Apple-Falling-Down-Thing Knives, the rather silly name ...caused them to not sell well owing to the lack of catchy brand name. So... he later referred "Gravity" as "->", which proved difficult to pronounce...and a whistling sound that decreased in pitch followed by a thudding noise made with the lips. This again proved difficult to write....and he ended up calling it "gravy", as in "if I can ever shift these bloody "->" Knives I'll be on the gravy train", which later became known as "Gravity" (as we know in now) due to a problem with the book publishing typesetters....
----> rather..if we didn't have "Gravity"...we wouldn't have "Gravity" knives [or any kind of knife for the matter]...and clearly we need knives to cut up our apples so it's a bit of a circular argument .

In simple words..probably, because after thinking about it gravely he could'nt come up with a grave enough solution..and too much graving led to the word "Gravity".. :P

Whatever it is...apples have been falling down ever since eve ate one of them...so to cover up the whole conspiracy...Newton came up with this "Gravity" thing...

May be there are some more "*grave* conspiracies around...then this stoopid "Gravity" conspiracy ...who knows!

This whole idea occured to me and had to work a bit for this post..(that includes google'ing around a bit, some of the wikipedias)..

And yes you are taking it right..two posts in a day means I have nothing better to do today...


Feel free to comment out your idea for "what if we don't have "Gravity"?" ...

A new approch to nose-picking...

and you thought nose-picking is a bad habbit? think again..!

There is an Austrian doctor who has gained popularity by advocating the picking-of-one's-nose -and-the-consumption-of-resulting-bounty, particularly in children.
[children being soft targets for new health theories...]

According to the theory...children/people who pick their noses with their fingers are healthier, happier, and *more in tune with their bodies*.

This forks from the notion that...exposing the body to the dried germ corpses helps to reinforce the immune system...

"With the finger you can get to places you just can't reach with a handkerchief, keeping your nose far cleaner. And eating the dry remains of what you pull out is a great way of strengthening the body's immune system."


"Medically it makes great sense and is a perfectly natural thing to do. In terms of the immune system the nose is a filter in which a great deal of bacteria are collected, and when this mixture arrives in the intestines it works just like a medicine."


Further, probably...the society should adopt a new approach to nose-picking, and encourage children to take up the habit...and even the adults should be welcome... :)

If the theory gets accepted..nose-picking could be considered just another humanly act..with no dirty looks attached...

can't stop myself thinking of interesting scenarios in which people would be found nose-picking...
[feel free to leave comments with interesting ones striking your ignited minds...:) ]

So..don't feel guilty if you'r caught picking nose in public...it's all part of one of those our good-health-drives... :)

Wikipedia too has a say.

A bit of google coined the terms like...
rhinotillexis: technical name for using one's finger to extract boogers.
(and doing so compulsively is termed: rhinotillexomania).
The act of eating the resulting harvest is called mucophagy.


Happy nose-picking!
