We cannot get everything out of life

Other way to say this is in Adam Smith's words "Human wants are unlimited, resources are limited". But this poem below summarizes it best. At times shayaris can look so beautiful!


Kabhi Kisi Ko Muqamal Jahan Nahin Milta
Kahin Zamin To Kahin Aasmaan Nahi Milta


Jise Bhi Dekhiye Vo Apne Aap Mein Gum Hain
Zubah Mili Hain Magar Humzubah Nahin Milta


Kabhi Kisi Ko Muqamal Jahan Nahin Milta
Kahin Zamin To Kahin Aasmaan Nahi Milta


Bujha Saka Hain Bhala Kaun Waqt Ke Shole
Ye Aisi Aag Hain Jisme Dhuan Nahin Milta


Kabhi Kisi Ko Muqamal Jahan Nahin Milta
Kahin Zamin To Kahin Aasmaan Nahi Milta


Tere Zahan Mein Aisa Nahin Ki Pyar Na Ho
Zaha Umeed Ho Iski Wahan Nahin Milta


Kabhi Kisi Ko Muqamal Jahan Nahin Milta
Kahin Zamin To Kahin Aasmaan Nahi Milta

Racquet

In august I bought a squash racquet. In march this year its gone. That bloody frame made of carbon fiber broke down. The worst part is it did not happen while playing. Otherwise it would have been a consolation. Somebody borrowed from me. I lend him. He goes to his room. After minutes he discovers that racket is broken a bit. When I look at it that 'bit' was not really a bit. It was byte. Or may be megabyte if not gigabyte. Carbon fibre is supposed to last life long. That bloody quack who sold me the racquet told me this. My life goes on but its life ends. What am I supposed to do. End my life or somewhat.

Non living objects are to be used and living beings are for loving. So it's not love for racquet .But it carried more significance than just being a racquet. It was birthday gift.

Anyways there more setbacks these days than this. Nothing seems to be working in thesis these days. And I have to anyhow do it well before joining date- 28 june. Right now I have no clue how will I make it. I will make it through though. Because all things must pass! All things must pass away!

Talking sense

Why do people think that they sound more convincing by stretching R's and L's and making faces with the words and jumping around with the words. All they need to do is speak logical and sensible and intelligent things to convince people. Is it really that very difficult to say things sensibly?

When you have to say something say it. Don't over say it. Don't mix the sense of simple things with shitloads else they might get lost in the shitloads and never appear to surface of the matter.

Im staying back



So now it's official that I am staying  back at campus in summers. According to my supervisor I have to stay here at LEAST till mid of June. Good and bad in some sense. Good that I have one month more to enjoy campus life. bad that I wont make it to attend the SPIC MACY fellowship will not come after this year reason being it is offered only to students. A lot has happened. I am working more. At least trying more if not working more.

25 km cycling trip today was nice. Probably it was first time IIT Kanpur has organized such trip. The response was nothing less than humongous. 1100+ participation is something which misrepresents the usual laziness of IITK junta.

Btw I've just uploaded a new set of photos on flickr. All of them before sunset in hall 9.

Locked up

Enough wastage has been done. To the satisfactory level. Now Im no more wasting away.

The price is I spent a cube crazy week and lost something like 10 second. 50% of the time Im getting below 50 sec. And few 40s also.

Finally to get rid and start working on thesis I had to lock the cube up. I've locked the Rubik's Cube. It will come out only after wasting satisfactorily enough time on thesis.

I will waste myself on

After a sweet break of 5 days at home life is back on same old track.

Loads of cubing. In early 50s. Lots of 40s and few sub 40 sec timings.

I will waste myself on.......
