Turning a sphere inside out
so a friend posted this link as his gtalk status n i was greatly impressed hence i share it below. the beauty of mathematics which sometimes dances in front of my eyes and at other times eludes me, is incomparable. a mathematician is an artist, a visionary and a tad bit self contained and often very boring. lol!
and truthfully this video has no bearing whatsoever on my life and its current updates ;)

Miss (my) Slumber
so here at xl i've discovered a new side to me. yes cliche but true. let's just say i've discovered more sides to me than i knew before!
i just cant help it. it's definitely not planned, it's not intended, it's something i resist yet something i'm seen rather often indulging in. oh how i try to justify not just to myself but to all those who catch me in action that it wasnt meant to be. but to no avail. it happened. it happens. n i dnt see y it wont happen again.
yes, one rather (in)famous ability i've discovered, is sleeping in class!
but there is a pattern you see. when some patch of never ending theory comes up which I find no way of comprehending, my brain starts off with things i do. so mostly i try to doodle but when even that fails, my brain in the auto mode switches off. heard of battery savers?
so to help me better explain-read the brilliant piece of art below.
thnx xkcd.com for making my situation atleast humourous :D

weighty issues
yes, as the title suggests this post is all about weight issues. who's? mine!
my brother had once very beautifully written about my battle with my weight, way back when orkut was the "in" thing and having meaningful testimonials was the ultimate need. he'd said, "she'd be perfect if only she could get herself motivated to do something about her biggest problem-her weight". it's funny and embarrassing to admit that it's still true.
a friend tonight very crisply showed me the root of the problem for me. her(very true) observation is that I can eat whenever and whatever I feel like irrespective of hunger! till a few moments after she said it, I could've counted eating as my best time pass and hobby-I love food!
I love all aspects of food! I love to cook, I love to shop for gourmet foods, I love to go shop for vegetables cause I can imagine having them for dinner soon, I can watch cookery shows, I love to experiment with food and I love food! when i qualified for xl and it was time for me to leave home, i went to a book store to buy myself a book-I shortlisted 3books out of which the one i finally picked is titled "The Virago Book of Eating". how much more can i say?
so tonight, sitting at bishuda(midnight food haven), while i gorged on french toast, my friend muddled up the courage to tell me the real reason why I am fat-cause I eat randomly-whenever and whatever. so touched as i was by the concern n the dawn(i keep forgeting, or keep making myself forget) of this knowledge, i sulked. a little. i closed the open box of cookies on my desk and decided to be better at it. then i started writing this entry and just writing about food has cheered me up!
so maybe i'm fat. ok, no maybe, i am fat. but atleast i'm happy!
ok, so sometimes happiness should also be derived from external things like two dress sizes smaller, and it must be time for me to try. again :)
