I don't get it.

Car owners to be offered up to $4,500 for 'guzzlers'

So you reward the dumbfucks who made the stupid decision of buying those gas guzzling vehicles in the first place. I simply don't get it, instead of giving tax rebates to the wise men you reward the stupid ones.

If any of you understand this please enlighten me on the motive behind this decision. I would be more than happy to listen to anything positive about it.

Me, myself

A lot of people have recently commented that I have changed a lot since they last met me or interacted with me, and the truth is I definitely have over the last 3 years or so. So let me define my new self here just to keep you people updated ( as if anybody from the past reads this blog :P), but still let me complete my responsibilities.

1. To begin with I am more interested in Mozart, Paul McCartney, Bach, Nicholas Hooper and so on than I am in Metallica, Tiesto or Slipknot.

2. I spend more time reading than I do chatting, socializing, driving, playing combined together.

3. I am single.

4. I cannot eat spicy food everyday anymore.

5. I have no problems staying awake for days at a stretch if its for programming.

6. I really really want to do a PHD from a good school, and I still may opt to enroll for it.

7. I am a strong believer of Murphy's Law.

8. Now I understand European movies, at least much more than before.

9. Evolution is the motto of life.

There are also some things about me which have not changed at all

1. F rule still applies :P, I am sure all the dudes reading this will understand well. Blonds still rule.

2. Favorite vacation destination is still GOA.

3. I am still a boy unwilling to give in.

4. I still am attracted to luxury like a moth to a flame.

5. I still am lazy.


Hope this helps.

Adios

A few standards I maintain in LIFE

Havent posted in a while so thought of making a close to meaning-less post.

Ever since I owned my first computing machine I have had the instinct to maintain a clutter free, beautiful, unique and practical desktop screen. Its been almost a decade of evolution on my machines and so has been in my taste to justify the above stated properties on my desktop screen.

My current desktop looks something like this

I get chills down my spine when I see a desktop with gazillions of icons each smaller than the bacteria residing on my fingers and I salute the people who have such desktops both for their laziness and their endurance to change.

Centre Court

For as far as I can remember Lawn Tennis was one of the very first sport I started watching and actually understanding. I remember at the age of 4 or 5 watching with my grandfather a Steffi Graf match and it was Wimbledon. Since early teenage I have had this dream of watching a match at the mecca of tennis "Wimbledon Centre Court".

Last time a British man won the Wimbledon championship was way back in 1936 but even then the British come out every year in rain and heat to watch the game, such is the love of the game. My dream seems to be realizable in the distant future but I have it in the back of my head and someday in this lifetime I will definitely be there.

Wimbledon Centre Court I shall come.

P.S. If you can meet with triumph and disaster / And treat those two imposters just the same.

Tired, down and out !

I am mentally tired of this bullshit. For the last 20 years of my life I have worked for this day and when it comes its not even a day its actually the dawn of an era and I am supposed to make daylight for my career out of the setting Sun. I did nothing wrong enough to deserve these times, well not in this life.

Anyways I do not wanna become the cribbing baby, I am very much up for the GAME even if I am on a side which has zero chances of winning. But I guess the time has come to stop for a moment and refresh the mind. And there is only place on Earth where I think that can happen and its back home, well not literally but its GOA. The best vacation I ever spent in life was in GOA, the place has a sound of tranquility about it, its not expensive, has beaches and of course barrels of liquor. Anyways my motive behind the trip would be peace of mind and relaxation. I am starting one last phase of trying really really hard to find a job and if it does not work out then its gonna be Viva La Goa.

So by 15th August either I would be in Goa or I would be employed and playing games on PS3 and honestly that sounds a future to look forward to either ways :D.

Maths

I am missing Maths in my life, with time I have started appreciating Maths more and more to the extent where I wish my career revolves around Maths to some degree.

I liked a Calculus from the day I got into it but attributed to pure laziness I never scored well in exams though I feel I understand Calculus better than a lot of my peers. If someone knows about interesting programming jobs or open source projects revolving around Calculus then please suggest those to me.

If I had to choose between a pretty girl and Maths I would choose Maths as everything that is TRUE is apparent on paper whereas with a girl everything apparent on a paper is FALSE.
