I know. Had the option of philosophy too but declined it for the same reason.

UPDATE :: So nothing happened as I had envisioned. Got selected in great engineering, architecture and law colleges (I have no clue how I got law). Toured those colleges, talked to seniors and graduates. Somehow I didn't like the whole 'engineering' environment. I don't know how it works at...

^ I share the same concern even though technically its not very confirmative.

Happens to me too. I believe that I'm unable to sense when people will be fine with my philosophical and knowledgable self or my crazy, totally 'not give a fuck' self. Most of the times I have no idea when to stop making jokes which has led to quite a few awkward situations. When people expect...

'Haraami' which is hindi for 'bastard'. Thats how we call each other here.

This is insane. I thought I was the only one. I tend to picture myself in a personal tragedy like loss of a loved one. In the hope that it will motivate me to do something great or just drastically change the way things are running.

Well I didn't mean to say that its useless if I dont find the answer. (Whats the 'answer' you seem to refer anyway?) I meant that I dont find the point of studying something which I'm not ready for. (gamma function doesn't just involve factorial) Whats the point of such brittle knowledge? I...

^ They have an Amazon list too if you want to buy any of those. You could've done that yourself but it just gets all those books at a single place.

^ whats the point if I get nowhere? Plus I like to study things only when I have a solid foundation for a particular level. I dont even have the pre-requisite knowledge t o grasp the concepts of 'mathematical analysis' I know I can learn it myself but I'm comfortable with the conventional...

http://artofmanliness.com/2008/05/14/100-must-read-books-the-essential-mans-library/ ^ This is the list I'm following. These are some of the great books humankind has managed to produce.They are pretty challenging too.

I cant find any logical explanation to believe that personality types and eye colour are related. I have black eyes by the way.

^I think there's Gamma function for that. Its not taught in high school so I dont know much.

I dont know how to explain you 'intuitively' but its because [(x)^1/2]^2=x, hence x^1/2 is the square root of x. Basically just another way of representing roots.

I loved how in 'The Matrix' one could learn any martial art. I would teach myself Kung-Fu with that method. But in actuality I want a parallel universe for myself if there is someone who can fulfill wishes and is reading this post by chance.

Spike lined ring This device was aimed not only at preventing masturbation, but nocturnal emissions as well. Young men would tie this ring of death around their member, and whenever they became aroused, the spikes would sink into their flesh, causing excruciating pain.

Well, not in my country. Its in the development stage and with the goverment restrictions loosening up, high quality projects are coming in. I think I'll be sticking with engineering. Pure research might bore the hell out of me and I'll be keeping architecture as a backup option if things...

My voice, too, depends on the situation. If I'm talking to my parents its a bit squeaky. With my friends its deep and loud only if I'm really excited about the topic or if we're cracking jokes by the second, otherwise I'm usually quiet or reply with just 'yes' or 'no' With girls I try my sexy...

Haha! My guess would be ENFP. What do you think?

A girl I know since I was 10, stills calls me (even though I left that school when I was 14) and we have conversations insanely long. She has a great sense of humor and loves to think and talk about crazy stuff. Once played hide and seek in a mall and went on a bus ride around the whole city...

lol same here. But where's my man Russell Peters??

Remember the noise our dial-up modems made? I have it as my ringtone. Nostalgia!! :D http://thew0rd.com/2010/07/13/56k-dial-up-modem-ringtone-for-iphone/

"Ring around the Rosy Pocket full of Posy Ashes, Ashes, We all Fall Down" You probably have a vision of children holding hands in a circle, rotating slowly while singing the song, then collapsing in a giggling heap at its conclusion. Just another innocent and meaningless rhyme? It...

Personally I used to think I was different for a period of time when I was 14 or 15. But gradually I realised that the behaviour we project and what we say is not very different, its actually pretty predictable. We might say that what we think is unlike anyone else but how many minds have we...

Let me clarify first that my high school education doesn't give any glimpse of what any of the courses will be like. So I can't tell you why I'm interested in any of these courses apart from the fact that since they involve logical thinking, I'm fine with that. Let me also tell you how things...

Engineering it is.

Yes it did. I started reading Catch 22 again but now I was making my notes and underlining. I cant "speed read" (tried to learn once, didn't work out for me) too.But the level of understanding and appreciation was much more. So even if I read, say 10 books this way, I'm good.

You mean Holden Caulfield?

Ok I get the idea. Thanks you guys. It sucks when you know stuff but cant explain it to the other person. Usually I have no clue where to start from. I have to practice on my structuring.

So I've planned to read around 50 to 60 books in coming months. I want to ask you guys how I can gain most from my reading. Should I write my thoughts about the subject, the philosophy while reading the book? I'm asking this because I always read the book but I dont have definite thoughts about...

Educate yourself.

Cant really say because we dont know how much percentage of urine we intake and also how many other people are swimming with you. Also this value is taken after how many hours since the last recycling of the water.

An average person’s yearly fast food intake will contain 12 pubic hairs. If you swim one hour in a public pool you will intake 1/12 liters of urine.

I have a theory that everybody around me is sacred of me. They're trying very hard to look good and impress me with their money, material possessions, intelligence etc. I mean if a person lived in total isolation what difference it would make to him/her if he/she has a Bugatti or a Beetle...

Will there be porn?

The phenomenon of male lactation in humans has become more common in recent years due to the use of medications that stimulate a human male's mammary glands. Male lactation is most commonly caused by hormonal treatments given to men suffering from prostate cancer. It is also possible for males...

So true. If only I didn't procrastinate so much my parents could've trusted me. Whenever I ask them to stop restricting my activities they always say that they wont because they dont trust me to live a balanced life i.e. Study for 4 hours and other stuff for an hour only. I want the exact...

- when you wish a happy birthday to a pokemon (Mewtwo feb. 6) but rarely bother about wishing a person irl.

I dont have a television.

I dont use them. Why would anyone bother so much for some scratch?

Well my question is simple. Which is better? I had decided to go for engineering first but now I realise I was following the flock. I mean its not that I wont be able to do it but I haven't really locked out my other options (which is usually the case here) Physics Major ; Sounds...

Absolutely nothing. Depression is a strong word. I may get upset over animal violence, or my father never understanding me, routine and repetitiveness, or the superfluous nature of society, or genital torture. But depressed? Never.

Try to convince yourself that being unhealthy is being inefficient. Then try to convince yourself that what you're doing is unhealthy. Sleep like normal human beings i.e. 8 hours starting at 10 maybe then wake up at 6.(not going to happen but still) Start running. You can check out the...

Same for me. But my dad locked up my CPU because I stopped concentrating on my school (which mostly comprised of copying paragraphs from a textbook to a notebook).

There's something wrong... I cant be a narcissist... Or am I?

My INTP brethren cope with the fact of being the jack of all trades and master of none? 5 Reasons why its good being one. :) www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2007/09/14/the-top-5-reasons-to-be-a-jack-of-all-trades/

One of my closest friend is very outgoing. We are honest to each other about our social ways and maybe that is what makes it click. Regarding the opposite sex, I like someone who's a bit shy but not socially awkward. And pretty, obviously.

We share the same date of birth.

Well I'm like you too. Always dreaming of being the guy who discovers superconductivity at room temperature or some ingenious technique to enable controlled fusion. But I find it difficult to sit down and open my textbooks and study and solve problems for hours. Usually I set goals which will...
