Aromale

I am not sure about where this post will end up.But i am sure that it has been inspired by this song.Aaromale -which literally means, "my dear dearest" from the movie, Vinnaithaandi varuvaaya.
The movie itself opened to rave reviews, the characters stood out for their queer qualities,or rather wierdness as the not so youth of tomorrow (the youth of today) might put it.

Jesse is a malayali girl.She is christian.She has strict family values.She has a rich dad.She can buy a passport to america like any of us can.She loves her dad.She marries the one her dad asks her to,without shedding too many tears.Yet.We hate her.I do.Trisha post-marriage,walking on the brooklyn/golden gate bridge,pisses the hell out of me.I feel sad for "Karthik" (protagonist) .I do not know why.In fact,the movie starts (scarily enough) perpetrating some kind of an irksome feeling towards respectable,obedient and well brought up girls who love their dads a bit too much.Prejudice.

Strange is love.Stranger are movies.Strangest is the effect it has on definitions of love.Girl loves boy,boy loves girl,girl loves dad,girl ditches boy for dad,boy is who we all want to see happy.Screw the girls happiness,screw old bonds!

Where do i stand?Boy or Girl ? I dont know! For the world is not a movie for us to stand back and rate,we would rather be better of moving on from such scarring experiences,if it ever happened to any of us.

And yes,if we wer as creative as A.R.Rahman,who celebrates his birthday today,we would all be singing, Aaromale! in one big chorus...

bezier must die

Its funny how when you want something so much , someone out there in the universe decides to make it a little more "interesting" by throwing in a bunch of crap aimed right at you.Oh heck yeah...Computer graphics , and  bezier curves...and other math , and other polynomials ,and linear algebra... i love you god. i truly do. i dont want to see your face right now ! (thats right . for now..dont send me to hell though..)

the bing way

I have always been bashed up due to my irresistibly irritating nature of cracking a joke as a follow up to every question or comment someone makes. I am wondering if this is a reallly really bad thing or if its just one of those things people like to stop you from doing because they are not used to someone doing it.I mean.I am ethically confused here. I know that i am not a very very funny guy or something.I am sure that i do make some people laugh.If people are laughing to please me , its their problem.I also happen to know that i do have an excessive tendency to do it, but its the only way i usually manage to get my point across, and sometimes, with pinch of bad humour/sarcasm if you will. It seemed to work fine until i started finding a bunch of people , adding to an ever growing list of "no sarcasmoers" .. Life as it was , officially rocks , and life as it IS , might start officially sucking.Time to say goodbye to chandler bing like ( ok i knw the comparison is too much , but just like he said.."i like to use humour as a defence mechanism") stuff or not ?

Still confused

Sometimes it is hard to know if you are good or not any good at all..even the silliest problems can scare the shit out of you ... and crisis hits..

this PETA thing.

There was a time in my childhood when i was an animal rights lover.Then i grew up. I still think that animals have their rights.Yes they do.But in this course of growing up , i also realized that humans have their rights too.So when i see a PETA ad/ commercial that says "would you eat your dog for thanksgiving ?  then why the turkey?" I only have one thing to ask them.."Did you guys evolve from martians ?" .I mean, come on guys ! We are freaking omnivores ! We were born that way , and sadly this is how nature works ! You cant stop someone from eating meat by using cheap emotional blackmail.I am not saying that PETA is not doing anything good.Its just that they have started acting like the NEWS TV channels that start putting up soft porn kind of news when they have nothing to talk about ( rakhi sawant smooch scandal for example).

Its about time that PETA started looking a lil bit into the deep multi-species shit that they are in ( uumm smelly uh) , and realize that they are treading a very fine line between being stupid and being completely credible.There is going to be sometime in the future where they are going to turn into a nonsense group if it keeps going like this. And it would be rather interesting to see how this is going to look like.May be something like this .

- PETA comes up with a new resolution that its not just enough that they have turned almost every meat/beef loving mallu and every karuvadu loving tamilian into a vegan (yeah..vegan.not vegetarian) ,and its equally important , in places like india, where plants are molested to their Nth degree; that they come up with some kind of legal protection for plants as well.
- To follow up this truly "vegetable" idea,
a. No vegetarian shall ever touch , boil , cut leaves or plants
b.He shall eat vegetables , but shall ensure that once he consumes them , he shall either make sure that the seeds go where they are supposed to , and not the trash / the visceral post-processing units and plumbing.
c.If seeds are not eaten , they shall be treated like newborn babies , and shall be either buried near a well lit , fertile area (soil ie) , and not under any circumstance will allow it to be cooked ( jackfruit seed curry) or baked (like cashews) or be brewed ( like coffee ( or beer? )).
d.He shall eat fruits as well , provided he makes sure that for every fruit he eats, he places the subsequent resulting residue (seeds) in areas similar to those in clause b.
e.Drinking honey is not under any act.As long as you are keeping the honey bees happy. (This could be hard to determine , deterministically .
f.No rice , no wheat , no flour.No cereals.
g.America will now declare Pizza a vegetable in all districts, not just schools , to stop kids from skipping classes to plant their seeds.
h.To avoid confusion about how to make pizzas out of non-grain materials , please wait for "Organic Pizza Manual volume I".I can assure you that this should not take more than 1 year.Most scientists have quit their jobs to cure cancer, and have started working on this , since this is a matter of utmost , national and international stature.
i.Hummingbirds and honeybees shall be our new mascots, since they not only suck honey out of flowers without harming them,but also aid in cross pollination. (Federal law states that humans shall not try cross pollination with other species.But we really dont care about humans.We only care about animals.)

ANNEX : In the long term, we do realize that there might be a problem with people dying and all that with symptoms similar to famine.We do understand that this could be a problem for you humans.But then, in the long run, we are planning to turn monkeys into "socially aware" creatures as well.This means that they might actually stop eating "bananas" and start eating some of the other things that they dont like eating.This case, we all get to have bananas...Go bananas !

PS : This is a frustrated human being.
PPS : This is a frustrated vegetarian.

History with Math

A lot of people like math, and more than an equal total of people hate it. Not because math sucks or is insignificant in your life.It is pretty significant. Its a way of measuring how things work , and putting it down on paper. Its almost like reprogrammable logic if you will

But enough of bullshit, lets talk why people could hate math..these are mixed with my experiences + some hypothetical / situations that i have come across in my life as well.

Reason 1:  You have an awesome teacher who keeps telling you how awesome math is , but not why.

Reason 2:You are a tamil brahmin, and in your family getting something lesser than a 100 for math is considered to be stupid , and you just dont understand why they like math ( they never bother to tell u anything beyond the fact that they come in handy for stuff like plan drawing, bank accounting etc..oh come on !)

Reason 3: If you are good at math , you were considered a genius, but if you were good at something like painting , you were considered to be a "good painter" , who gets attention only in his painting class that happens once in a week , and mostly that is going to be replaced by an extra math class to cover the syllabus...So math played the bitch , and kicked all the artists out.Bad Math !

Reason 4: It helps in getting your hands tired, and worst of all ,these things that you solve (like 25 problems a day !) , are things you don't even bother to remember. Math was all about practice from grade 1 to grade 12 and beyond..Not at all what a subject of such scientific caliber should be treated like...

Reason 5:  Its that one subject where you are constantly learning things that you dont see in the real world..visually ,its just not there .. remember integrals ? did u like em until they taught you how to apply them ? And that was a chapter ? And that chapter is only carrying 6 marks , and so u decide to skip it  ? Or do you remember the curves ? single lines , etc ?  You dont get to  surface integrals until you reach college, and mostly , by that time u hate math enough to actually not have any interest in anything they teach you in that class.

PS : Some of this might only apply / most of it rather , only to our education system..the indian system. I think its high time we changed it before kids actually give up on something as awesome as math can be.Its all about grooming them to like it , by using the right approaches. i hope someone out there gets the hint.
