The bus lady

Author : 3.14-eater      Blog : High Entropy      Date : 6/18/2013 10:42:00 AM

'This is our bus lady. I couldn't take a better photo (I'll try again perhaps) but for me this seems enough. More often than not we end up travelling in the same bus that she drives. She takes us to college. The probability of that happening in an extensive public transport system is less when you do not travel at the same time everyday. (By the way, all the women bus drivers here are amazing.)Some may recognize if I describe her. Fair chinese/singaporean lady, boy cut with strands o(...)'

Weather, we should do it.

'So rapid changes in weather conditions for some areas in India are being predicted...and they are happening. Sudden bursts of heavy rain have already caused casualties in Uttarakhand and Gujarat among many other places. And this is only the 'reported' news. Trend is on the rise every year. We are surely not limited by technology. Assuming, there is no 'political agenda' behind not saving people from floods (or at least rehabilitate) but surely we could have some smart (mind you) fai(...)'

This folks, was a year of full of stories... - Part I

Author : 3.14-eater      Blog : High Entropy      Date : 6/11/2013 12:59:00 PM

'The past year has been very overloaded with 'firsts'. I'd like to share the general trend.What once used to be the happy and independence based feeling of venturing out of your country and creating a fresh life somewhere else has ended up a cartoon movie. I kid you not there is funny background music playing all the time. A lot of observation has led to the following write-up that would probably give you a heads up when you visit a foreign land for the first time.The law of new expa(...)'

Out of the thousand things, is it ok if I miss out on few?

Author : 3.14-eater      Blog : High Entropy      Date : 4/24/2013 9:36:00 AM

'Okay. So,I have been trying to make something of myself. The specific attempts haven't always been successful but I'm trying nevertheless. I'm trying to do different things and I'm trying to empty out all those hypothetical to-do lists in various domains of my life at once. It seems quite the contrary although I haven't achieved much in this vacation time... not even half of what I had planned. And I do hold myself accountable. Part of it has been laziness and pure disinterest. Time(...)'

The importance of being earnest...on LinkedIn

'Generic discussion, disclaimer attached, all due respect, not rebellion and conditions apply :)Professional networking has always made sense. One of the biggest professional networking portals is LinkedIn. Even when I think from the perspective of an employer and not a job seeker, I find LinkedIn provides a lot more user friendly interface than many of the other resume management systems and is an extremely under-rated tool. As someone looking to hire, I would be interested in every(...)'

The fever is such that I could almost see a Christmas cap wearing elf/santa imitation in each of the ground staff at Changi airport. Instrumental versions of Christmas Carols were being played. Changi airport by itself looks like I landed in some really rich and posh and executive part of the world, which of course is what it should be like. It is uncanny that b(...)'

You often test yourself like that. In endurance. For me this situation brings back the scene from House MD where Dr. Gregory House runs. Runs like hell. Every step of his is a jolt of irritating pain in the thighs from where a part of the muscle was removed. But he runs because he knows popping in a pain kill(...)'

I love the fact that I read the two that I had access to and worked hard (very, very hard) to bring them to their finishing point. I hate the fact that the story has not even remotely reached its closure. It's been torture reading it. And it surely leaves you irritated. A torture one would like to force on themselves and enjoy it. The constant bickering at the back of your mind as to where the hell this next (...)'

He usually wants something completely else.(I always spell Diwali different every time because I don't know the correct spelling.)Anyhow I have been wishing for absolute solitude for a few days. Had been high time to stop and introspect rather than burn up all my time in interaction. Sometimes having people around you all the time becomes difficult to manage. Or rather, sometimes having to rush through the daily ro(...)'
