Disclaimer

I think I should have written this even before I started writing this blog, but I consider that this disclaimer held and will hold for all things ever written on this blog. If it wasn't here on the blog before, well, I assumed that it was implied. Perhaps it may be time to make things explicit: if not now, it might be useful in the future.

Everything I write here, even up to and including guest posts, are solely at my own discretion and risk. No-one associated with me, neither my employers, my employees, my family, my friends, institutions I am associated with or the orgranisation hosting the web space is to be held responsible for anything written here. It is solely my own prerogative, and at my own will that I post whatever I do, and therefore all bouquets and brickbats, awards or lawsuits should be directed towards me and nobody else.

Also, there may be a lot of veiled references in the posts or the content published here: either in images, poems, or just plain text. Most of them are those that I designed and kept there purposefully. The others, well, you read them and you get hints... unintended hints as and when you pick them up and frown at or enjoy. They, too, are my own creation, and although I am responsible for them, I would want you to clarify them with me if you are in doubt before you jump to a conclusion.

The same holds for all posts/parts which I deem funny --- a lot is written for humour here, and if you do not understand the fun or humour in the post, well, I can't help it. Stop reading it: thats all. I will not clarify something until I think that it was unfair to write whatever it was, and I will not apologize for it either.

I do link to external sources at times --- I am not responsible for what they say or do or the authenticity/ appropriateness of the content there. If it is out there on the web, for public viewing, then I have a right to link to it and spread the word about it: I do not necessarily endorse what I link to always.

Also, please note that I am not responsible for any outcome that occurs to you out of following my ideas, my thoughts and/or suggestions. Most of the time they are said in jest, and when not, they are very specific to a particular case: which is me. You might draw inspiration from them, and want to apply something similar in your life, but I don't care and you take such inspiration/advice at your own risk: not mine.

I write about a lot of stuff here, and not everything I write is related to something in my personal life or is inspired by something like that. I write because I feel like writing, and I might imagine situations and write about them. So, a particularly deep and dark post from me doesn't mean that I am all blue, and neither does happy poetry mean that I am all sunshine. If you know me in person, don't think that something is happening to me all the time and they are inspiring posts --- they are not. I have my imagination, and I use it a lot.

Also, you may not use any part of the contents on this blog without explicitly citing the source on some other form of publication. Also, if you are about to publish any part or whole of the content of this blog in a commercial manner where you derive monetary profit out of it, you cannot do so without my explicit written permission: breaching that would mean infringement of copyright. Please refer to the Creative Commons license linked on the right for details.

Finally, by reading any content on the blog, you are bound by these conditions. If you need clarifications on anything, get in touch with me and I can explain things better.

  7. Anonymous (Sky?), first of all, thank you so much for calling me a geek! :) And no, I wouldn't be half as useful as a lawyer as I am right now, although I don't know what difference it makes if you multiply or divide zero with anything ;)

Maa khuh chihal a panjam hastam

The hit counter on my blog reached 20074 today. Why you may ask, is that news, and why hadn't I cheered myself up when it was at 20,000 for example? Well, it is news because 20074 has been a very special number for me during my entire college life: it was my admission number, and my system-wide unique identity. It is strange, and surprising, how these numbers become a part of our identity. The social security number, the passport number, the id number in the college, or even your roll number somehow becomes an almost innate part of the day-to-day life. As soon as I see the same number somewhere else: maybe on a telephone, on a hitcounter, maybe somewhere else... a thousand memories are triggered. As my eyes struck the hitcounter showing 20074 right now, I was thrown back to memories of filling up exam answer sheets, hostel admission forms, library recall requests, and so much more! I believe that number was present on almost every official form which I filled in college: even when

Swami Vivekananda and the Indian Renaissance

The following is an article I sent to my mother based on which she presented at one of her conferences. Do read. =======================================  The common perception of Swami Vivekananda as the religious leader who preached Hinduism to the West and established the Ramakrishna Mission in India is a very limited definition of the impact he had on the collective psyche of the common Indian. Besides his direct impact in adding steam to the Indian Renaissance, a large part of his thoughts and writings also affected the other stalwarts of the movement. While fathoming the entirety of his impact on the Indian Renaissance would be impossible, we will briefly explore some aspects of his influence in the following pages. Raja Ram Mohan Roy is generally credited with ushering in the revolution. His numerous ventures that contradicted the prevailing religious opinion of right and wrong broke the stranglehold of the prevalent quasi-religion, the norms of society and its sole autocrati

Tips and tricks for the GRE

Hello everybody, First of all, I thank all of you for the good wishes and congratulations that you have sent... either as mails, PMs, or anyhow. I have also been getting a lot of mails from people asking for tips and tricks and how I made it to the 800 in quants and 700 on the verbal. So if you are prepared for a lot of gyaan (which I love shelling out), here you go: 1. How long does it take to prepare? A: There is no definite time frame. But about 2-3 dedicated hours a day, for about two-and-a-half months is enough. Then, again, it is dependent on your level. To find that out, I'd suggest that you should take one paper-based test that is there in the front of the book (Barron's, Kaplan, anything... or even the Big Book). If you score about 750 on the quants, and about 500 on the verbal (no cheatings, etc) then the time frame I've said should be enough. If you scored more, great... you should try to get to around 1550!! But if less... well, spruce up depending on how
