Zaroorat hai, zaroorat hai

Yaay... the #%&!$ project deadline is finally over! All pending comments have been answered, and I plan to visit all your blogs soon. Anyway, I was looking through some blogs of people I know in person and noticed that I had been tagged over a year back by my sister. Well, it is never too late to take up the tags, and this one pleases me no end.

I need to describe eight different qualities I would like to see in my would be life-partner (who, wherever she is, already has my sympathies :D ). And then I need to pass the tag onto 4 others. As I see it, there are two ways of answering the tag. One is to be honest with myself and write the truth here: in sincere detail. But that, I suspect, will start giving my mom and a lot of other people a lot of ideas, besides putting me through some traumatic (blogging) experiences. Therefore, in the interest of public mental health, I wouldn't do that. Instead, the alternate way of describing the potential unlucky lady would be as follows:
  1. Should be less than or equal to 70 kilos in weight: I can lift that much with one hand. The other arm should always be free ;)
  2. Should be perfectly hare-brained... a see-through tunnel between the ears is the hallmark of the ideal candidate.
  3. Must have a firm and unshakeable belief that I am the best thing to have happened to this earth since God Himself!
  4. Must rate me as 100% sexy, 100% cool and 100% trustworthy on Orkut... never mind what the real life details are. Must also become a fan upon very first acquaintance!
  5. Must remind me time and again that I look and smell my best when I don't bathe/shave for a week or two. In fact, should compete with me at times to see who can stay without bathing for how long.
  6. Should nominate this blog for the Nobel prize in Literature every year: in fact she should also file a PIL in some Indian court suing the Nobel committee if they don't award it to me every year. Did I mention the IndiBloggies, too?
  7. Should constantly worry that she is getting thin and should need daily reminders from me that no, she is actually getting fat and she needn't gorge on all the delicacies I cook from time to time.
  8. Must, must, absolutely must always believe that she is the only specimen of her kind!
Bolo, hai koi nazar / aaine mein? :D

  5. Pallavi, you *almost* got the gist of the post, and I mean almost. I wouldn't spoil the fun for you and tell you why, therefore, orkut was mentioned!

    Alka, kya karen, engineer hain! :D

    Varun, bhai, find someone who matches even one of these criteria remotely (minus the weight thing of course): and marry her right away!

    Miss NMA, of course I'm joking here --- who on earth would want to marry a robot? Aur kabhi kabhaar humare liye bhale ka bhi dua maang liya kijiye! Overblown woman, hah! I shall let the consequences of soemthing similar happening to you wide open to speculation :D

  7. You can lift up 70KILOS with ONE HAND??? Why don't you compete for Mr universe instead?

  8. She has my sympathies too ;p

    I totally agree with point 2 by the way. To agree to marry you, she will have to be hare-brained :D

    As always...

  11. Alka, this might enlighten you a bit about the connection between engineers and bathing: washing bedsheets .

    Raman, I did manage that feat: only once though. Upto 50 kilos is not a problem any day! :)

    Sky, oh I shall forever have a supply of fried rabbit meat, then ... garma garam (non-fat) bheja fry!!

    Hari, yeah I know that the Chennai sun is blazing hot these days :P

    Miss NMA, "prospective female candidate ( moi:D )" --- ROTFL from my side!! Make that a double!!

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
