Doubts..


Was just remembering the kindaa doubts I used to get in school..outright stupid, but worth a thought anywhile.. For eg :

I spent almost a whole year(5th or 6th, i don't remember) convincing myself that angle B (shown above) is indeed equal to angle A, and not greater. I asked my teacher, my dad..but I wasn't convinced..Finally had to convince myself somehow.


Second one..When first exposed to electricity(in 9th, I think), we were taught that there is no current when a circuit is open. So i had this doubt : Current is produced by the flow of electrons. Now, if the circuit is open, how do the electrons know that the circuit is open without actually flowing, and finding out, and inturn not flowing...Hilarious absolutely, but the shocking part is I did not get an answer even from my teacher, for which I was terribly upset.

Also , a question which came about when I was teaching my sister optics a few months back(when she came up with it...), as to 'Why certain objects are transparent, and others opaque'. An absolutely stud question, I didn't have an answer to it, neither did any of my friends..Whose answer I finally found in Griffith, which had hajjar electromagnetic polarization funda in it, and that the phenomenon of transparency was actually found in 1987..!! Phew..

Nostalgia..

Why..

Why is it that I get depressed often..
Why is it that I feel I am not made for engineering..
Why is it that I feel IIT is not the place for me..
Why is it that I feel I am a useless piece of shit..
Why is it that I cannot stand against atrocious ' RG'..
Why is it that I sometimes feel its better I stayed in school forever..
Why is it that I keep wanting to mark my life..
Why is it that I feel I want to be the best in anything I do..
Why is it that I don't feel like doing anything because I am NOT the best in anything..
Why is it that I feel inferior to others..
Why is it that I feel I'll never be loved again...
Why is it that I feel I need to satisfy everybody's expectations..
Why is it that I am more of a conformist than a rebel..

Probably something's wrong with my head..

Hindi Commentary...

Hindi commentary sucks..

I was watching the India-Sri Lanka match today on DD. Hence got another opportunity to listen to the 'unbearable' hindi commentary. I was so pissed off with it, I thought I should put up a post on the jargon they speak..Well, it isn't exactly jargon, but so highly irritating as they just kinda narrate whats happening. I compiled a few of 'em, and I have translated it into english, which has made it even funnier. Imagining the Hindi version might be necessary for a few..

1) 'Murali's deliveries are coming in and going out'..
He meant the normal offspin and the doosra... But are we viewers blind..? Can't we see it..?

2) Senseless idiots, usually shout at the top of their voice..
' And Gambhir lofts it straight towards Mid wicket with great force(70 Db)......and...... one bounce to the fielder(30 Db)..' And this happens hajjar times..

3) An extension of the previous..
' And Gambhir has hit the ball straight towards square leg, its going to the boundary(70 Db), but...the fielder is there(30 Db)..'

3) This was the one I couldn't believe..Man..! How can they speak rubbish..??
'If everything goes well, India plays well'..

4) ' Oh..a beauuuutifuuuul outswinger from Zoysa, BUT Dravid misses it marginally..'
Again, can't we see..?? And what does he mean by ' Beautiful outswinger BUT Dravid...'

5) When they turn the camera towards Attapattu for a few seconds, show him thinking..
' Attapattu seems to be in deep thought, wondering what to do..'
Oh..ya..thanx.. I thought he was day dreaming..

6) Some ridiculously obvious statements, over and over again..
' India should try and get some wickets' or
' Sri Lanka should try to score some runs now '
What else are the players out for..Chick Hunting..??

7) The standard Hindi dialogue which can make a new born baby wake up from deep sleep..
' And..its an over pitched ball, Dravid takes it close to his body, uses his wrist, turns it towards deep mid wicket, and the ball is going towards the deep mid wicket boundary..and its 4 runs'..(Linearly increases from 25 to 80 Db). I know, the fun here is half lost because its put in English..

8) ' Dravid wanted to hit the ball towards deep square leg, but took the top edge and went to mid off..'
Oooh.. I didn't know that. I thought he did some magic and got the ball to mid off when his bat was towards square leg..

9) One more ridiculous statement
' Sehwag's confidence is showing right from within himself..'
Oh..my sweet ass..Will I show everybody Sehwag's confidence..?

And some N others.. but i had lost patience to even listen to them.. These fellows seriously need some training..Oh ya..i forgot the last bit..

10) After Sri Lanka won the match...
' Sri lanka have won the match. They must be happy.'

Anoxymoron..

How's this statement:

I am not totally useless. I can be used as a bad example.
