Comfortably Numb


Have you ever burnt a book?
It’s very painful. (To the book that is)
Books don’t burn easily.
When ignited, they catch fire but after some time, the flame puffs out.
For effectively burning the book, it must be tortured, ripped apart page by page.
I don't want to get into the Gory Details.

People all around me are talented. They play good music, are excellent intellectuals, and efficient stock pickers.
The last time, I listened to Fur Elise by Beethoven, I was mesmerised by the way seven different piece of Frequencies along with their half notes, could produce such a sweet sounding music with varying pitch combinations.

I tried and tried and miserably failed to estimate the probability of Beethoven having come up with that piece of music, playing different notes at random.

They call it destiny, you meeting your Girlfriend. The past always looks like destiny doesn’t it? A million pens made in a factory and the one pen that you buy was also meant for you. Destiny. The Shirt you buy and the laptop you get. Destiny. Shit.

Yes Destiny, for the sake of the death of a Young Squirrel. I shall call it Destiny too!

Ya ya, you cannot connect the dots looking Forward. It is because you simply can’t connect the dots looking forward. The Entropy of the world is very high. Everybody can connect the dots looking backward. The past is easily predictable. Isn’t it?

I am now sick of Expertise at any levels. It’s not long before I concluded that there are no experts. The word is false. Words like, “The illegitimate child” or “A Stupid Person”.

I played my first song with careful Concentration in 45 days after I first touched a Guitar in my life. Voila, Am a 45 day expert in the science of Guitar. I know no shit about it.

And wow, am an Expert too!

I stopped checking the speed of the download of files in my browser. When I want a file, i click the link wait for the download to start and I move on. Its much pleasure to come after awhile to see my file completely downloaded than to check my file download every five minutes and find it not downloaded yet. It just damns with me in the latter way. Why would my stupid up browser not download at a proper speed? I feel pity for the people who check the state of their stocks with widgets running in their Phone's Home screen. They must feel pretty bad more often. I smile. I continue to smile.

Thedi Choru - A Translation and a Happy New Year

A very Happy New Year! I thought I'd do a translation of one of my favourite piece of poetry from Mahakavi Bharathiar. If you don’t know about him, there's Wikipedia. This guy has been demonstrating to me greatly, in how the vocabulary you think can greatly impact the way by which you act; in how the vocabulary in which you think, forges new strong behaviour into you. That's the ultimate power of language. Now that many of you will be having hopes, dreams and significant resolutions for the New Year, a more perfect stage can never be asked for. தேடிச் சோறுநிதந் தின்று - பல சின்னஞ் சிறுகதைகள் பேசி - மனம் வாடித் துன்பமிக உழன்று - பிறர் வாடப் பலசெயல்கள் செய்து - நரை கூடிக் கிழப்பருவ மெய்தி - கொடுங் கூற்றுக் கிரையெனப்பின் மாயும் - பல வேடிக்கை மனிதரைப் போலே - நான் வீழ்வே னென்று நினைத் தாயோ ? நின்னைச் சிலவரங்கள் கேட்பேன் - அவை நேரே இன்றெனக்குத் தருவாய் - என்றன் முன்னைத் தீயவினைப் பயன்கள் - இன்னும் மூளா தழிந்திடுதல் வேண்டும் - இனி என்னைப் புத...

Best Dialogues from V for Vendetta and their meanings and Quotations

“Creedy : Die! Die! Why won't you die?... Why won't you die? V : Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.” V for Vendetta is one of my favourite movies and I thought I’d put up a collection of good quotes from it. The Quotes are taken from IMDB Memorable Quotes, thanks to IMDB. The glory of an Idea! Evey Hammond : [ voiceover ] Remember, remember, the Fifth of November, the Gunpowder Treason and Plot. I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot. But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know, in 1605, he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But who was he really? What was he like? We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten, but 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I've witnessed first-hand the power of ideas, I've seen people kill in the n...

(Updated!) Xolo Q800 – A review with pros and cons

UPDATE: Whatever is written below applies for the Xolo Q800 phones with MTK6589 chipsets. The Q800s with  MTK6589M chipsets may or may not qualify for what is written down here. (I think that the phones which costed less than 12k have the MTK6589M chipsets. ) Android smartphones are everywhere these days. They run the latest operating system and they are all identical. You try out different brands and they all have the same android. At the time of this blog post, it is Jelly bean. So, what makes a smartphone different from another. They all have IPS screens, HD playback, ble... all sorts of common stuff. Difference? Xolo Q800 is a smartphone and here is where the difference is. 1. There are absolutely no bloatware in the device. The device is pure stock Jelly bean. There is one app called Xolo care which just sits silently in the corner helping you to check updates to the operating system and contact customer care. Too bad I don't ...
