December 8-12, 2009 (Days 7922/3 - 7926/7)

'Reading' and 'studying' are two mutually exclusive activities and anyone who uses these words interchangeably, is a criminal offender.

December 3-7, 2009 (Days 7917/8 - 7921/2)

Discussing the question paper after an exam is like regurgitating your most-disliked food item that you had the misfortune to eat just now.

December 1-2, 2009 (Days 7915/6 - 7916/7)

Not doing what is required, is forgivable; doing what is not required, is not.

November 27-30, 2009 (Days 7911/2 - 7914/5)

With every effort, one loses the opportunity to experience the serendipitous benefits of laziness.

November 23-26, 2009(Days 7907/8 - 7910/1)

One's level of incompetence can be recognised by what qualifies as 'humour' for him/her.

November 22, 2009(Day 7906/7)

A nihilist cares about nothing; an enlightened nihilist cares about just one thing, which obviously can't be something as ridiculously trivial as examinations.

November 21, 2009 (Day 7905/6)

Mediocrity is the refuge of the insecure and the uncreative.

November 20, 2009 (Day 7904/5)

Sitting in a lecture with your eyes closed means that you cannot see the professor - it does not mean that the professor can't see you. Feline ignorance can be dangerous.

November 19, 2009 (Day 7903/4)

A lecture is the only time and place in which one is focused enough to sleep in peace.

November 18, 2009 (Day 7902/3)

A lecture is the only time and place in which one is focused enough to read the newspaper in peace.

November 17, 2009 (Day 7901/2)

In normal circumstances, 'dedication' and 'perseverance' are names given to things that people resort to, when they don't have enough self-confidence to believe that they can be successful without needing to slog their asses off.

November 14-16, 2009 (Days 7898/9 - 7900/1)

Those with limited ability and resources should refrain from imitating their superiors.

November 9-13, 2009 (Days 7893/4 - 7897/8)

In most anthropological cases, the future is similar to the past, only more unpredictable. Similarity with the past makes it so. Makes sense because it is contradictory.

November 5-8, 2009 (Days 7889/90 - 7892/3)

When one has everything one can possibly desire from life, arrogance could be born and burn everything to ashes. Now that is one alternative fuel that hasn't been thought of.

November 3-4, 2009 (Days 7887/8 - 7888/9)

There can't be anyone more powerful than someone who desists the end of adversity, except another one who desists the end of adversity.

November 1-2, 2009 (Days 7885/6 - 7886/7)

All formal organisations and systems in this world exist in order to beat, thrash, punch, whip, pummel, torture, excoriate, burn, water-board, circumcise, castrate, and brutally murder even the last iota of individualism from an individual and consign him/her to the socialistic mediocrity envisaged and championed by the impotent non-forces who have the power and the audacity to earn for their incompetence.

October 24-31, 2009 (Days 7877/8-7884/5)

All this time, I had been thinking that sub-sea-level expectations and selective underperformance were the keys to success. Now I see that there is no door and hence no lock and everyone's gone through the doorway while I had been searching for the keys. I breathe a sigh of relief, have a beer, turn back and keep the keys in my wallet for the rest of my life.

October 23-25, 2009 (Days 7876/7 - 7878/9)

Recorded human behaviour suggests that the quantums of partying and festivities are inversely proportional to sadness, depression, frustration, misfortune, dread, despair and many more such figments of man's (and more so woman's) imagination. The tendency to wholeheartedly desert common sense and sound logic, by the human race (with exceptions, thankfully) is indeed the greatest mystery of our times.

October 16-22, 2009 (Days 7869/70 - 7875/6)

Overt, ostentatious display of relieving of one's frustration can be quite pleasant (and even sanctimonious) to look at, but comes with the potentially spinal-cord-haemorrhaging combo-baggage of slatternly choked-up alleyways, left-lung cancer and twice-decimated sperm-count.

October 13-15, 2009 (Days 7867/8 - 7869/70)

The experience of delight and relief on reaching a destination usually implies a comprehensively screwed-up journey.

Oct 8-12, 2009 (Days 7862/3 - 7866/7)

Killing an unborn expectation also is a crime.

October 1-7, 2009 (Days 7854/5 - 7861/2)

When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Get going where?

September 24-30, 2009 (Days 7847/8 - 7853/4)

Dreams are not those which you see when you sleep. Dreams are those which don't let you sleep.

Then what should I do if my dream is to sleep?

September 16 - 23, 2009 (Days 7839/40 - 7846/7)

Every time you go through a tough phase and come out of it, you learn a lesson. This itself warrants a good hard celebration - hard enough to make you forget the lesson before you wake up the next morning.

August 11 - September 15, 2009 (Days 7802/3 - 7838/9)

You spend a hour sitting with a friend, you feel that only a minute has passed. You spend a minute sitting on a frying pan, you feel that a hour has passed.
So, never spend a minute sitting with a friend on a frying pan. Or for that matter, never spend a minute sitting alone on a frying pan. But, if you insist on doing something with a frying pan, you might as well stand on it, preferably wearing a thick, leather-soled shoe. And off course, if you happen to get one of those brainwaves of superhuman creativity, you could fry a fish on the frying pan. Not after standing on the frying pan wearing a thick, leather-soled shoe, though. So, ultimately, you need to prioritise.

July 29 - August 10, 2009 (Days 7789/90 - 7801/2)

Sometimes, an extremely powerful external stimulus is needed for you to really know yourself.

July 27 - 28, 2009 (Days 7787/8 - 7788/9)

There is only one thing worse than doing something efficiently which doesn't need to be done in the first place. And that is, doing something inefficiently which needs to be done.

July 20 - 26 (Days 7780/1 - 7786/7)

Squandering away the present in the hope of a bright future but with the experiential expectation of a dismal one, isn't a great strategy. The obviousness of this fact can be comprehended only in hindsight, though.

July 19, 2009 (Day 7779/80)

Despite the fact that it sucks, the Earth is a beautiful place to live in, or at least, I have trained my mind to believe that. No difference.

July 18, 2009 (Days 7778/9)

The penchant for searching for patterns where there are none is perhaps the second most annoying feature of a human being. The most annoying being his mere existence.

July 17, 2009 (Days 7777/8)

Why do humans have to be obsessed with whether life is good or bad? Can’t life just be?

July 14-16, 2009 (Days 7774/5-7776/7)

The fact that almost every human has the option to not only enjoy every single moment of his/her life but also end his/her life the moment he/she can’t, contradicts the fact the human race is on the whole a pretty miserable lot.

July 11-13, 2009 (Days 7771/2 – 7773/4)

Reading and studying are two entirely different tasks, and any confusion between the two should be made a criminal offence.

July 10, 2009 (Day 7770/1)

You know you are a true nihilist when you are not the slightest bit thrilled about solving a cryptic crossword completely for the first time in your life.

July 7-9, 2009 (Days 7768/9 – 7770/1)

Human irrationality is perhaps the biggest mystery of the universe, after human arrogance.

June 27, 2009 (Day 7758/9)

Normally, future plans remain just those: future plans.

June 26, 2009 (Day 7757/8)

The humans around you might conspire against you with their indifference, self-obsession, incompetence, mediocrity and stupidity. But it’s up to you to decide whether you plead them to stop, or ask them to kindly go to hell and rot.

June 25, 2009 (Day 7756/7)

There is hardly ever a more helpless individual than the one who has to tell something when he/she feels something else.

June 24, 2009 (Day 7755/6)

Usually the security of a nation is as poor as its people are.

June 23, 2009 (Day 7754/5)

The greatest fools are not those who are not intelligent; the greatest fools are those who are intelligent but unwise.

June 22, 2009 (Day 7753/4)

A serendipitously unexpected mediocre result can bring much more joy and relief than an anticipated outstanding one.

June 21, 2009 (Day 7752/3)

The effect of the summer solstice is much more profound when the cumulonimbus doesn’t make its presence felt.

June 20, 2009 (Day 7751/2)

The best thing about life is that it allows you to make a fresh start every moment. But then that might be the worst thing about it too, since the supposed fresh start could then be postponed for the next moment, every moment.

June 19, 2009 (Day 7750/1)

Sometimes, treachery of the most heinous kind is required to remind you of the fact that only you are responsible for your well-being and hardly anyone else gives a damn about it.

June 18, 2009 (Day 7749/50)

Greater the rise, harder the fall. Unless a guardian angel catches you in between on the way down. But since guardian angels haven't been witnessed in living memory, the smart thing to do is to carry a parachute in your backpack and to remember to take the backpack with you when you decide to jump off a cliff.

June 17, 2009 (Day 7748/9)

A plan half-executed is hardly better than a plan not executed or for that matter, the absence of a plan.

June 16, 2009 (Day 7747/8)

Moving in the wrong direction can certainly be much more detrimental than staying still; but at least, the former isn’t accompanied by the excess baggage of guilty conscience.

June 13-15, 2009 (Day 7744/5-7746/7)

No matter how much one has made a hash of one’s capabilities unknowingly and then given up on oneself knowingly as a gone case irretrievable from the chasms of underachievement and nihilism one has thrown oneself into, one would often experience fleeting moments of inspiration from one’s surroundings suggesting to try and mend one’s ways.

June 8-12, 2009 (Days 7739/40-7743/4)

Happiness is mostly about indulging in something you crave for and sadness is mostly about waiting (or hunting around) for the next such opportunity.
Note: These are normal, mortal, material, nihilistic happiness and sadness I am posting about and hence, whatever spiritual and philosophical advices I am going to get would only fall on deaf ears (and blind eyes – because comments are now enabled).

June 7, 2009 (Day 7738/9)

There is an inexplicable void left somewhere in one’s emotional space instead of the expected contentment, when something that you have disliked but taken for granted all your life, will be leaving you perhaps for ever.

June 6, 2009 (Day 7737/8)

Allowing oneself to travel new, retraceable roads generally gives one a feeling of abandonment and is at the same time, quite refreshing for the lungs.

June 5, 2009 (Day 7736/7)

The sacrifice of crypticism would certainly be detrimental to the experiential personal depth, but a bit of clarity never hurt anyone either.

June 4, 2009 (Day 7735/6)

The hopefully unwavering commitment to idle causes should be able to stand one in good stead for the morrow when the reasons would no longer be unimportant.

June 2, 2009 (Day 7733/4)

Enhanced pro-activity was certainly rejuvenating, albeit the concomitant mediocrities relevant to future prospects should appear to be a collective dampener.

May 30-31; June 1, 2009; June 3, 2009 (Days 7730/1-7732/3; Day 7734/5)

All the pottering around would have been inessential had the right decisions been taken, but saying no to guiltless entertainment would have been disappointingly foolish, irrespective of whether or not it would have qualified as being emotionally intelligent.

May 21, 2009 (Day 7721/2); May 22, 2009 (Day 7722/3); May 23, 2009 (Day 7723/4); May 24, 2009 (Day 7724/5); May 25–29, 2009 (Days 7725/6-7729/30)

Textual and other forms of notable indulgences were on the cards considering the favouritism issue, although the hashed mess was not required.

May 20, 2009 (Day 7720/1)

Social involvement was nowhere near as fruitful as it was on the previous occasion.

May 17, 2009 (Day 7717/8); May 18, 2009 (Day 7718/9); May 19, 2009 (Day 7719/20)

The non-axiomatic disposal of “duties” was certainly refreshing albeit lazily so.

May 16, 2009 (Day 7716/7)

People who hand over everything to the mercy of God do so to absolve themselves of all responsibilities.

The project plan with magnified restraining requirements was perhaps the lone non-idled iota.

Sometimes, the end and the beginning do not overlap; instead the latter appears to precede the former.

May 15, 2009 (Day 7715/6)

We take our colours from our surroundings, like a chameleon.

The social camouflage was nevertheless quite profitable.

With better prioritization some multi-yester ago, the transformation should have had become redundant.

May 14, 2009 (Day 7714/5)

To fully understand a beautiful thought requires as much time as to conceive it.

The adjectivally pneumonic dead revival was long overdue.

Late is not always better than never, but is at worst as bad as it is.

May 11, 2009 (Day 7711/2); May 12, 2009 (Day 7712/3); May 13, 2009 (Day 7713/4)

Ready money is not always Aladdin’s lamp.

The characteristic deference is incorrectly apt.

Management is a piece of cake, but perhaps some research is essential for it to be so.

May 10, 2009 (Day 7710/1)

It is excellent to have a giant’s strength, but tyrannous to use it like a giant.

The continuing fissure should have been preferably restrictive and restricted.

Still, the morrow waits with all of its unrelenting spirit.

May 9, 2009 (Day 7709/10)

Those are happy men whose natures sort with their vocations.

The breakage of the cycle was certainly refreshing despite the ensuing tedium.

The tomorrow is not here yet, though.

May 8, 2008 (Day 7708/9)

Although a democracy must often fight with one hand tied behind its back, it nonetheless has the upper hand.

The fortuitous escape was at best unplanned.

Hopefully, this is not one of those days for which there is no tomorrow.

May 3, 2009 (Day 7703/4); May 4, 2009 (Day 7704/5); May 5, 2009 (Day 7705/6); May 6, 2009 (Day 7706/7); May 7, 2009 (Day 7707/8)

Life of a man consists in what he is thinking of all day.

The constituents of the ultimate self-superset would be really malicious going by Ralph Waldo Emerson’s opinions.

Still, there is always a tomorrow to look forward to (except once, off course).

May 2, 2009 (Day 7702/3)

What’s in a number?

The second transformation was the unpleasant one, as usual.

Life goes on and on and on and off.

May 1, 2009 (Day 7701/2)

What’s in a name?

The timely ubiquitous nature of the reforming schemes is certainly reducing the brilliance of the invincible aura.

Perseverance is the grandfather of all arts though.

April 30, 2009 (Day 7700/1)

How small a portion of earth will hold us when we are dead, who ambitiously seek after the whole world while we are living.

The purposeful deferral of the sacred duty should not be a whole lot subtractive in the long run.

A real surprise is on the verge of birth.

April 29, 2009 (Day 7699/700)

To be patriotic, hate all nations but your own; to be religious, all sects but your own; to be moral, all pretences but your own.

The expectations were neither unmet nor exceeded.

The morrow is neither delightfully expected nor morosely unexpected.

April 28, 2009 (Day 7698/9)

The soundest argument will produce no more conviction in an empty head than the most superficial declamation; as a feather and a guinea fall with equal velocity in a vacuum.

The primordial access to the emergency exit door would have been redundant in the first place.

Overconfident or not, the result is expected to be unchanged.

April 27, 2009 (Day 7697/8)

The word maritorious is quite rare, while uxorious is fairly well known.

The narrow escape wouldn’t have been any wider with conscious deliberation.

The postponement would eventually have to be of a similar kind.

April 25, 2009 (Day 7695/6); April 26, 2009 (Day 7696/7)

Learning without thought is labor lost; thought without learning is perilous.

The initial self-obsession had rather been everlasting to have some positive later impact.

The normal wretched course of activities became the norm.

April 24, 2009 (Day 7694/5)

How easy to be amiable in the midst of happiness and success.

The absconding of the duo certainly didn’t help public relations.

Anyways, another absconding is in the offing.

April 23, 2009 (Day 7693/4)

A man should live with his superiors as he does with his fire: not too near, lest he burn; nor too far off, lest he freeze.

The unexpected selfless indifference could have been economical or prodigal.

This one time, financial security is undesirable.

April 22, 2009 (Day 7692/3)

Truth, in matters of religion, is simply the opinion that has survived.

The pleasantly unusual occurrence was not an aberration going by recent history.

And it would never be one on the basis of wishful and concrete thinking.

April 21, 2009 (Day 7691/2)

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of it.

The acknowledgment of a surprising fact certainly brought second thoughts about the former opinion.

But they remained just those.

April 20, 2009 (Day 7690/1)

Words are like money; there is nothing so useless, unless when in actual use.

The story of two halves was quite refreshing especially in the choice of the subject of better performance.

Other seemingly transient troubles were just behind the horizon though, the cause being a benign companion.

April 7, 2009 (Day 7677/8); April 8, 2009 (Day 7678/9); April 9, 2009 (Day 7679/80); April 10, 2009 (Day 7680/1); April 11, 2009 (Day 7681/2)

It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.

The tri-triad of tired tried days left the absence pending and the presence inevitable.

Flagrance was also on the same side as absenteeism for a day.

April 6, 2009 (Day 7676/7)

The purpose of education is not knowledge, but action.

The sole achievement today is right here.

Another one is potential onset of agnail.

April 5, 2009 (Day 7675/6)

Doubt is the beginning of wisdom, not the end of it.

The comparative continuity of the ethereal effort was worth self-appreciation.

The fact that not much came under the accomplishment domain remains oblivious to the long-term desire, and vice-versa.

April 4, 2009 (Day 7674/5)

Men have slow reflexes. In general it takes several generations for them to understand.

The serious let-up in the noble pursuit is only a preparation for the journey ahead.

Old habits can sometimes teach new lessons.

April 3, 2009 (Day 7673/4)

Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. Absolve you to yourself, and you shall have the suffrage of the world.

The stuttering initiation into the world of sanctimony could be corrected with the amount of time available.

The late flourish has been quite helpful in leaving things in a desirable state.

April 2, 2009 (Day 7672/3)

Like cars in amusement parks, our direction is often determined through collisions.

Feeble attempts at supposed consummation should not have ruled.

Even the disruptive trials fell one short.

April 1, 2009 (Day 7671/2)

Only the mediocre are always at their best.

The vindicated feeling at external words should be a discourager.

The starting dilemma should preferably be restricted to being just that.

March 31, 2009 (Day 7670/1)

Today is the first day of the rest of my life, just like everyday is.

The restarting kick-start had been scheduled eons ago.

The expectant resurrection has many potential stakeholders

March 30, 2009 (Day 7669/70)

With reaching the destination end the joys of the journey.

The absence of vagrant mirth may not be felt at the pinnacle.

It is always felt at the nadir though, though not in a desirable and stated way.

March 28, 2009 (Day 7667/8); March 29, 2009 (Day 7668/9)

The fear of some divine and supreme powers doesn’t always keep men in obedience.

The indifference for the previous debacle was enlightening.

So is the nonchalance at the current perseverant fight-back.

March 23, 2009 (Day 7662/3); March 24, 2009 (Day 7663/4); March 25, 2009 (Day 7664/5); March 26, 2009 (Day 7665/6) &

Birds of a feather don’t always gather together.

The gradual blur was not necessarily due to factual information.

Rather the usual procrastination was the culprit.

March 21, 2009 (Day 7661/2)

People are proud even in humility; they are proud of not being proud.

The separated quest was time well-spent.

The lack of revival using the ambiguous noun could have been eschewed though.

March 18, 2009 (Day 7657/8); March 19, 2009 (Day 7658/9); March 20, 2009 (Day 7659/60) & March 22, 2009 (Day 7661/2)

Idleness is an appendix to nobility.

The shrugging act was quite lengthy as it should have been because of its volume and the sheer rarity of miraculous ability.

The consequences were well worth the effort though.

March 17, 2009 (Day 7656/7)

The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen.

The backlog redemption could have been less messy but more time-consuming.

The Catalonian rival namesake need not come into the picture hereafter.

March 16, 2009 (Day 7655/6)

When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.

The futility of all perseverance would have been glaring, if the unpredictability of the silent one had been positively gauged.

Perseverance gives a lot to one’s character but takes an awful lot of time to achieve that purpose.

March 15, 2009 (Day 7654/5)

Most people prefer failing without having given their best to failing having given their best.

The reluctance to follow the majority as specified by the self-proclaimed apophthegm, should certainly be a glimmer of hope.

The futility of all hope better not be glaring, if the unpredictability of the silent one is being positively gauged.

March 14, 2009 (Day 7653/4)

You cannot step twice into the same river, for other waters are continually flowing in.

The futility of all perseverance would have been glaring, if the unpredictability of the silent one had been positively gauged.

Lack of strain also provides resistive power, without the egotistic anger.

March 10, 2009 (Day 7649/50)

The future has a way of arriving unannounced.

The futility of all pretence would have been glaring, if the unpredictability of the silent one had been positively gauged.

Strain often provides resistive power, usually along with plentiful egotistic anger.

March 5, 2009 (Day 7644/5); March 6, 2009 (Day 7645/6); March 7, 2009 (Day 7646/7); March 8, 2009 (Day 7647/8); March 9, 2009 (Day 7648/9); March 11,

What you are aware of you are in control of; what you are not aware of is in control of you.

To choose what is difficult all one’s days, as if it were easy, that is faith.

The decision of agnosticism primarily was logically the easier one to make, not in the controvertible sense though.

The secondary and ternary stories remained mere spectators.

March 4, 2009 (Day 7643/4)

We change the world not by what we say or do, but as a consequence of what we have become.

The newfound zeal should preferably be everlasting.

21 is also a really nice number. It is more of a rough-weather friend which mightn’t be around when the going is nice.

March 3, 2009 (Day 7642/3)

A man who wastes an hour does not know the value of life.

The profligacy is not a gift and hence every present is quite valuable.

Priceless contradictions are potential omens of impending undesirables.

March 2, 2009 (Day 7641/2)

There is no way to happiness; happiness is the way.

Change is not necessarily the only thing that is constant in life.

But sometimes, it can be the most necessary thing in life.

March 1, 2009 (Day 7640/1)

This is the time. This is the place. This is the vastness. Right here is paradise. Always. Always.

The mild initiation should be a harbinger of stronger things to come.

The proverbial late let-up is the deleterious quarter.

February 28, 2009 (Day 7639/40)

The best path to happiness is learning to change as rapidly as life does.

The plan has been knowingly postponed for more than the lower limit.

Timidity is not a space-filling virtue, but it is certainly a sentential one.

February 27, 2009 (Day 7638/9)

The worst that can happen to one’s ability is the loss of one’s own faith in it.

The abstracted response to vital information at the right time would have led to better timing.

Nevertheless, nothing is lost yet.

February 26, 2009 (Day 7637/8)

When I do something good, I feel good. When I do something bad, I feel bad. That is my religion.

The borealis-austral blunder could have been averted with more attention and flexibility.

The planned mono-slavery will have to be apparently put off for a day at least.

February 25, 2009 (Day 7636/7)

You see the world not as the world is, but as you are.

The heroic downfall was unexpected especially after the tri-bright initiation.

Anyways, the ‘challenges’ of the two-morrows are the ones that are being looked forward to.

February 24, 2009 (Day 7635/6)

When you have given your best, what else is there to think about?

A lie and a truth governed.

The truth was far more vital and hence, guilt wasn't born.

February 23, 2009 (Day 7634/5)

Form is temporary; class is permanent.

Today, the former got the award which the latter deserved.

Anyways, the owner of the two was the best.

February 22, 2009 (Day 7633/4)

The trouble with the world is that all the foolish people in it are always sure of themselves and the intelligent ones are always in self-doubt.

The compulsive decisions made continually for the last couple of years have found a rational reason besides the absurd one mentioned adjectivally.

Now the wait for legendary recognition begins.

February 21, 2009 (Day 7632/3)

The best measure of one’s intelligence is what one does during leisure.

The seemingly incorrect in hindsight choice is so not going to repeat.

The profundity of dumbness in case of aphorism being true amazes me.

February 20, 2009 (Day 7631/2)
