A Song That Touched Me....

A couple of days ago, I heard this song by Cat Stevens called Wild World, and it touched me so much that I decided to put it up here.....

Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you wanna start something new
And it's breakin' my heart you're leavin'
Baby, I'm grievin'
But if you wanna leave, take good care
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there

Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
and I'll always remember you like a child, girl

You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breakin' my heart in two
Because I never wanna see you a sad, girl
Don't be a bad girl
But if you wanna leave, take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware

Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
and I'll always remember you like a child, girl

Baby, I love you
But if you wanna leave, take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware

Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
and I'll always remember you like a child, girl

A Snippet From Mook's Blog.....

Here's an extract from Mook's blog, a very good friend of mine....


" December 05
thx manu
thx a lot for being there for me...

well this is what happened today:

Eric and I broke up

i sat still for the whole 15 mins going over what actually just happened after i hung up the phone with eric. At first, I thought I felt i was going to be okay so i called manu to tell him (manu and i talked abt the problem last night anyway so..). when i actually told him that it's over been me and eric, i started to cry. tears just kept on coming out... i was actually kind of surprised by that cuz i thought i'd b alright.
....

so we talked for a long while and i felt better after that (he finally made me laugh in the end).
after that, i went online and saw eric's blog abt the end of our relationship and that made me cry again...

i'll get over it...especially when i kno that i've got a great friend like manu who can always make me smile and is always there for me.

thanks for everything "

Physics and Me...

Here's a big update of what happened this weekend. There was this huge 29 question long monster Physics AP Homework due on Friday midnight, and I had no freekin' idea of what I had to do. I called up my friend, Nestor to see how he was doing, and he was as bad as I was; hence he decided to come over because we thought that working together might help. We kept on trying repeatedly till about 8 pm, and then we just gave up. We both were stuck at about 35%, and there was no way we could have made it to a 70. Thereafter, we just said "SCREW IT, THIS SHIT IS IMPOSSIBLE!" and went to a party. When we came back (which was around 12:30 am), we noticed that the homework was now due on Sunday midnight, instead of Friday, which gave us 2 full days to work on it. The next day, which was Saturday, we went to a giant Physics Workshop at the Townview TAG (Talented and Gifted) School, but the real adventure was getting there! Me and Nestor, despite our best attempts, could not figure out where in the world this place was. Took us like 2 hours to get there, whereas the original journey was supposed to take only about 25-30 minutes. We also went to this other place, where the people thought that we were the volunteers that were there to help them, so they gave us free lunch! Anyways, later that evening, our forces were joined by David Gilchrist, another genius from my Physics AP class. So, the 3 man army of myself, David and Nestor started to work with a determined head, a head determined towards cracking the "Homework". 12 can of sodas, 2 BIG bags of Popcorn and 40+ hours later, we all ended up with all our answers correct!!! Hoo-ray!

End of the day, I was happy, David was jolly, Nestor was dancing, and Mr. Cameron was staring open-mouthed!

Life in My School, Woodrow Wilson High

Imagine life in Hell. Do you think that life in Woodrow is like that? Well, no! Imagine life in Heaven. Do you think that life in Woodrow is like that? Again, no! Imagine life somewhere in between. Do you think life in Woodrow is like that? Yeah, it is! My schedule is kinda like this. First period is AP Chemistry. Then, US History. 3rd is Band. Next, fourth period is AP Calculus. Fifth is dreaded AP Physics. Next, Advanced Computers. Finally, 7th is AP English. Now, do you expect school to be fun with 5 AP classes? Well, I think it is.......
I think that school should not be fun anyway. One goes to school to learn and to be someone in life, not to have fun! I mean, would I want to have fun in school at the stake of my career, also when I have the rest of the day and the weekends to have loads of fun. Don't get me wrong here, I am not one of those freaks who believes in all work and no play. I am just a sensible human being who dislikes all play and no work.

Energy Equals Mass Times The Square of The Speed Of Light

Sounds like Einstein's big idea, doesn't it?
I beckoned that this epoch-making equation deserved mention in my blog - the only thing in Physics that stumped me, left me clueless. As the big daddies of science say, the more you know, the more inquisitive you get. In my case, finding out how this equation was discovered, and how it turned the scientific world upside down, rose my curiosity to such an inextricable level that I could not live without knowing the truth, even for a day. Day and night of research over the Internet, heated discussions with my Physics professor and after-school study sessions with almost all my friends finally paid off, and I finally knew. I finally knew, that it takes over 30 years of sedulous hard work to get to something as big, as revolutionary as the concept itself, and barley 30 seconds to misuse it.

What is Life?

Aaahhhhh........
The ultimate question!
One question - billions of answers.
As I always say, why worry about it? Don't fix it if it ain't broke! But seriously, life is nothing but a quest for success, a journey of personal enhancement, a desire to know, a want to be somebody. Really, the point that I am trying to make here is that I don't care, and I don't think anyone should. Life is more like a resonation of the holy sound of God, and how he wants the world to be. This resonation manifests itself in tons of forms, the only thing to do really is to just figure out which of these forms work for you. It might be your conscience, or maybe your gut feeling or something.
So, the next time you think about this question, instead of trying to find an answer, try to realize how much time you are wasting in thinking about something that doesn't even make sense, while you could be performing your God-set purpose of life right that instant.

My First Blog

Let me brush up on who I am first. I am a foreign exchange student currently in the United States. I hail from New Delhi, India and I arrived here on the August 9th, 2005. It's been a long journey since then, tiring, frustrating, yet fun and cherishable. My last sentence might seem to be a paradox of some kind, but that is almost exactly how I feel, there are ups and there are downs. Sometimes there are more downs than ups, but you just have to get over them, cope with them and forget about them. Staying focussed always helps, concentrating on your primary goals always takes these puny, yet corrupting emotions away from you.
