My-steries

Life is full of mysteries; it just depends on where you look.

-Donnie Darko ;)

There are so many paradoxes in life, some I cannot understand, most I do not want to understand, and on the rest, I blog about.

Have you walked into Coffee Day?

Yes?

Have you ever watched T.V. there?

Yes?

Then, pray, for heaven’s sake, why do they mute the T.V and play English music on their in-house jukebox?

Around a month back, at one of these Coffee Day’s, it was delightful to watch Himesh Reshammiya singing Britney Spears’ “You’ve got me crazy” at the top of his voice.

Otherwise, it’s a news reporter head banging in front of the Supreme Court singing the Cranberries’ Zombie.

Or Lalu Prasad singing “I’m a Barbie girl”.

But, I am told, I have the uncanny ability to see through hidden motives. This time too, I’ve succeeded. Coffee Day is acting in the interest of the public. It’s making us burn the calories our drinks are loaded with by making is laugh. Cunning.

Ad. Recommendation:: Maxim’s new television ad. Cunning again.

Just Another Day

I feel just the same as I did yesterday.

Some thoughts...

I like desolation. Especially, when it’s awful.

I would like to sit in the middle of a desert, staring at the lone tree that has survived.

Or on a frozen lake, looking at the fishes through a small hole in the ice.

Or in the middle of a classroom during an exam with everyone is staring at me expecting answers, when I know none.

That, to me, would be blissful.

Song Recommendation::

Baa Baa Black Sheep. Or if you’re into heavy stuff, try Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Both, I strongly recommend.

Stats yet again!

Sigh!!!

Controversies.

Nevertheless, it’s been a good week for me. The cube takes me a maximum of 5 minutes. My results haven’t come out, yet. Exams start next week again, I’ve yet to buy books.

Yeah, that is what would qualify as a week good enough for me.

Yesterday, three of my best friends went out for a movie that I should have gone out for too(Uppi Dada M.B.B.S). Too bad I missed it. But, well it was time well spent at home anyway. Being the type of person that relinquishes the little free time I get, I imported an activity normally reserved for Multiple Choice exams.

Yes, I tossed coins. A Re.1 coin, minted 2001.

I tossed it once, heads.

I tossed it twice, heads again.

Thrice, heads yet again.

Four times, five times all the way up to sixty eight times.

The heads to tails ratio came out to an astonishing 45:23. Now, my statistics book tells me I am wrong, really wrong.

So, to test my hypothesis, I took a Re.2 coin. Minted 2003.

Well, again, the ratio was 42:26.

That got me thinking. Now, it’s only the second time that something so dramatic has happened to me.(I am obviously talking about me thinking).

So, are the coins in India biased towards heads?? Now, now, before you start barraging me with the choicest of abuses, let me assert. They are not biased.

But I, as my own personal opinion say, that yes, they are biased.

Now, it’s only to be found out whether my statistics teacher will buy my argument.

I hope he does.
