Oh! It's Nothing!!

Belonging to the sacred clan of Atheists, I knew God can do "nothing" whatever I may be upto, although I felt the Force...
With a heart as pure as Bisleri, and a mind as bright as a Blackbody, I set forth on a journey through the darkest alleys, in the 3-membered dungeons, with other victims of destiny; trapped in the gen-jutsu of lavish bunglows, ravishing partners, Swiss accounts and a legacy of success; we left our homes, our families, our beloveds ( those who had time to have some, while we "mugged" for JEE) , our sleep, our apetite, everything (nearly :P)...... When anyone asks me - What are doing these days at IIT, sir utha k, seena taan k, me faqr se kehta hu,"Kuch nahi"..... Absolutely "Nothing".....

So, what is this NOTHING neway.... some say it is a hoax, just like Superman and Area 51, but these are the people who still are unaware of the Force and toil 18hrs a day, only to be beaten by those who r now just like me, but above, who do "NOTHING" and just by advancing to "Super-IITian" mode, top course in matter of hours... But, I know NOTHING (i am dropping the quotes for saving some energy for my children...) better than any1 else... I am a true master of NOTHING.... I'd even say, I m made up of NOTHING, and it shows... People look at me and say, "There is NOTHING on ur bones" or "U eat NOTHING"... U C, I have it all....

My definition of NOTHING - (assuming reader knows what a THING is) Anything that cannot be named is NOTHING... U C.. U pass on a one-liner, and Prof. asks what was it.... Yes, it was NOTHING... U have majors from 29th and what have u been doing the whole day... NOTHING... Go on, u r getting hold of it... U C, the old definition is wrong, where NOTHING means non-existence of Anything... (although the subject of Anything is itself very complex and involved, specially when it comes to choosing ice-cream, but it is out of scope of this text.....) NOTHING is an instance of Anything that cannot be named, or even better "that has no apparent significance", this saves u the trouble of calling NOTHING without a name.... U C, I have spent my whole life studying NOTHING, spending hours like chillar, with sole purpose... NOTHING... take for instance, what is this post about-NOTHING..... what do professors teach us - NOTHING.... what do u see in a girl - NOTHING...... what will happen if u flunk these majors - NOTHING..... what do u take from DC, from net - NOTHING..... what will we give to this world - NOTHING
U C, now UC... I am a firm believer that GOD tricked us in believing 42 was the answer, when we were so close to discovering NOTHING.... I have faith in NOTHING, it is the universal ANSWER....
What was there before Big Bang - NOTHING
What is that projecting in ur pocket - NOTHING
And on..n on... n on...


I feel like I am the creator of NOTHING...  I am leaving NOTHING to this world as my gift.... And after reading this post, I hope u understand NOTHING.... I am NOTHING!!! And hence, I pass into NOTHINGNESS.......

(Pun intended everywhere, If u r doing NOTHING, try looking for NOTHING, U C.... u'll get it)

I tried to read Algebra after Minors

Hi..
Being an IITian, I make a lot of efforts to keep up with ever rising standards of procrastination and lousiness. I feel obliged to confess sins like studying after minors, etc, and I am ready for prosecution.

This is what actually happened....
After having screwed the minors, I watched Freaks and Geeks (it kicks ass!!) all night, partly because I was guilty. The little bit of conscience, I still have left in me, started revolting, much like the "Angel and Devil" situation in Tom n Jerry, and just to suppress it, I had to pick up a book, which happened to be on "Algebra". This is where my "Special Task Force of thoughts" came to rescue. Here is the report....

The standard ones came first : -
Why am I here? I used to be so good, what happened to me? Am I fit to be in IIT?

And then begun specialised, situation dependant thought process : -
"I am going around in a circle, ie ending where I begun, not matter what I do. I must follow a plan. If I assume that whosoever made the circle must have made it to his specifications, ie something must have bound him to the centre, and he went round and round. (It seems more logical that someone else has already been here). Now the question is was the guy rational or irrational. Because he was a human, and humans cannot form groups as they do not have unity. Hence, humans are not rational, ie humans are irrational. So, it must have been an irrational thought which bound him to his centre of attraction (which most probably was some XX creature). So, I also know that if I take rational steps, and knowing that I am not at the correct position, then I will never end up on my original point, since the circle is irrational, except the case where radius = p/q(pi). But, I have tried taking rational steps after all the 4 exams till now, and I end up at the same position where I begun, so r = p/q(pi) and the circle is indeed rational, and thus, I have to take irrational steps such that they do not become rational at a time. Also, the answer to this question must be irrational, which in turn implies lack of rationality in IIT courses."
And here is a new turn :-
"Even if I take irrational steps, there are uncountable number of them, and since I am literate and know the scientific notation, I can never stop counting, then my whole analysis must be flawed. Talking about analysis, what if it is not to be solved using algebraic theory, but "real analysis" which sounds more rational (damn these rationals). Being on a circle, most familiar situation would be a Discrete Metric over all Real choices. This explains I feel like being trapped in the same circle even after making different choices. I am indeed a Self-Centered person, and so even after making different choices, I will always be the center of my world. This analysis is really complex (damn it!!!) . But, luckily the same analysis is valid for all the complex situations as well. This also means I can never get out this vicious circle, until of course, either I am kicked out, or pass out, or maybe some new "Metric" enters my life where someone/something else is more special, and my steps become sequential rather than simultaneous, and hence my rollback equilibrium shifts to optimum performance. Till then, I am more like prisoner and the equilibrium solution of my dilemma is the worst for me. Whoa... I finally sorted this out.... damn it, I don't want to miss 10th class in a row"

So u see, I was more or less able to pass the 2 hrs I had left after finishing Freaks and Geeks, and before my maths class. More of this later. :)

I leave it to the reader to help me out with the loopholes.... or new theories...

This is me....

Dear readers
This is my first blog. I believe it is customary to introduce oneself in first blog. I am not going to give a formal introduction in foreseeable future. I am a student at IIT, and I have a handful of reasons to start blogging, like a need to express myself, discuss things I love, meet new people, and all my good and successful friends doing it. I am decent in studies, but I love thinking and doing things out of the box, ie making new ways rather than getting stuck in traffic. I want to become a great physicist, and I love to do anything that makes me feel alive.
My favourite words are "Who Cares!!!"
This blog is specifically for discussing anything and everything, and of course, ANYTHING INTERESTING IN PHYSICS AND MATHEMATICS. I had a decent rank in IITJEE (in top 100), and I'd love to help, of course, until someone does not become a pest, that is. Any constructive sugestions are welcome.
Adios
PS - Tell me if u do anything crazy and exciting...
