Reading is(or can be) Fun

Illuminati and Anti-Matter
The two are neither synonymous, and neither of the same origin. If you read the second book(published in 2000) Dan Brown wrote you’ll understand how these two words form the complete story of a book you cannot put down, when you start reading it. What’s great about Dan Brown is that he seems to have a lot of knowledge about what he writes. This book enlightened me and upgraded the knowledge I already had, making the book seem really interesting. You move through the 600 pages as if you had to catch a train. This is probably the best book I have ever read, certainly better than the HP series which becomes plain and repetitive, and the LotR which can never be called un-put-down-able.


Illuminati-A beautiful ambigram that is almost impossible to
create using any programing language existent today.

Apart from Hassasins and Anti-Matter, life has been the same way it is supposed to be. Flipping pages of “Mathematics by RD Sharma” and “Gogia’s Physics” has suddenly brought a long lost interest back, an interest which I hope I am able to sustain till this time next year(2007). One amazing thing I’ve noticed is, after mentioning Anna in my previous post my blog has recieved 5-6 new visitors daily. That’s what is meant by adwords, I guess. Yesterday I had a Y! Chat with this person I have never met before. He argued saying that google’s email service does not come even half as close to what Y! or Hotmail provides. It was my turn then. As a fan of Google, I would never stop using its services as they have always helped me where others couldn’t. Now virtually almost all free webmail providers have upgraded their per-user storage limit from single MBs to 100s of them. Again credit to You-Know-Who. Not Voldemort but Google. All those who opened that little mail of mine yesterday would have enjoyed seeing the best portrayal of Superman yet. Now you’ve got to see this one before it is removed. Though the usual disclaimer holds good. Exactly a month left for our 1.5 months of study leave, because by chance or by purpose I along with my buddies have been promoted to 12th grade. Cool huh! Let me also tell you that this is a great achievement because people like me who have no more knowledge than what they had in Class 10 find it really tough to cope with the usual regular work and last-minute studies. So that is what I am trying to change.

I wish we had people like Langdon alive. He is a good example of “Using power without strength.” We need people like him to improve the most-corrupt goverment in existence. All you poor guys who are going to write the IIT exam in 2008 will have a really tough time because people who are worse than you will get through into the best institute for engineering in India and soon the world. Oh well, that does not bother me much because I had already decided that I wouldn’t waste money on coaching for an exam I knew I had no chance of cracking. Look at those guys who do well at VMC and Narayana and flunk in school exams. Here I would like to ask, “What’s the point guys, what is it?

  • You are the first realistic-about-IIT person I have ever met.Few people realise that coachings hardly help anybody get into IIT.They just raise your rank a few notches up or down.It’s either an extraordinary brain that gets you in there
    or its reservation.
