New Year!

Yet another year has come and gone. All these passing years just mean that I am getting older! That is not something I really appreciate! :-D When I was a kid, I always wished there was some sort of time machine. I just wanted to be a really small child away from the school, but old enough to remember everything. As I grew older, the desire for time machine really came on strongly. Mainly because I wanted to correct the stupid things I did like not studying for certain exams or to stop myself from saying/doing some idiotic stuff.

Later on, I became bolder and had a new optimistic outlook. Whatever deep shit I drag myself into, I will be able to escape. May be its that belief that got me out of a lot of nose deep in crap situations. The desire for time machine has not entirely vanished, but lets say when I think about it, it makes me think a lot. The impact of such a thing on the entire world. The impact on the lives of billions of people, animals, plants, and the like! A banquet for my ever thinking brain. :-D

What did last year give me? A few successes, some disappointments, some heartache...Well, this is life!

What are the expectations this year? A lot of ambitious stuff I must say. One of them is learning a new language. I am still confused whether to learn Chinese or Japanese! Jap means understanding the Kurasawa movies and Studio Ghibli movies I have natively. Also the hentai movies I sort of have a liking ;-) (If you don't know Hentai, do a search in Wikipedia!) Chinese means...well kungfu movies!

Several other ideas as well. Hope they all lead to fruition!

Heres wishing a happy and prosperous 2008 for you and me. :-)

Why is the beer bottle so slender? I think its a deconstruction of the fact that you get a pot belly after a few beers over a period of time. Ah well, I should be taking a few sit ups! Ciao. P.S: I should be remembering the following cartoon before I start a fight with someone. Ciao again. (toon courtesy: xkcd )

Scholarship!

Found this is Friday Five and liked it. 1. If you were to have a scholarship created in your honor, what qualities would you look for in applicants (leadership, service, GPA, etc.)? GPA is bullshit. People with high GPA can be both muggers and geniuses. There can be people with no real "definitive talent" having a high GPA. Also, some can be flatout arses with no regard for the society. I would never create a scholarship in terms of GPA. Service is paramount. IQ and EQ both are equally important. Abstract thought counts. Creativity would be a defining factor. Enthusiasm is a must. There will be personal interviews. 2. Who would be eligible to apply for your scholarship (members of a certain major, ethnic group, sexuality, etc.)? No discrimination except there would be a weightage given to economically disadvantaged. Their need would be greater than that of a well to do kid. 3. Would it be need-based or not? Why? Need-based is contentious. Whose need? Some may need the money ...
