Upanishad

Verse from Brihadaranyaka Upanishad :

Asatoma sat gamayah,
Tamasoma jyotir gamayah,
Mrityorma amritmam gamayah

Meaning :

Lead me from untruth to Truth,
Lead me from darkness to Light,
Lead me from death to Immortality.

T-3 days

Another countdown. 3 days to D-day.

Will be back next friday with loads of things to blog about and with an update on my exam. Till then, adios.

My Instant haiku

Night and day has lost its meaningWhither are we working hard ?Coffee has lost its taste.

Zen amidst monotony

Without going out the door, know the world ;
Without peering out the window, see the Heavenly Tao.
The further one goes,
The less one knows.
Therefore the sage
Knows without going,
Names without seeing,
Achieves without striving.

I really loved it. It somehow connects to somewhere inside me, past the words, past touch. I have been trying to find out the original source for quite sometime but in vain.

Tragedy of life

Wasting away energy on ghostly dreams,
Missing the beauty of the moment ;
The fragile mirror that is bound to be broken,
The tragedy, not realizing this truth.

Arise. Live beyond dreams and bondage.
Let every moment be the perfect time,
For the end of life to enlighten the mind.

Oh thee, my light, my spirit. Rest in peace.

T-15 days

Exactly 15 more days left. I am feeling my guts churning out weird sounds and in queer ways. I am really scared about my qualifier exam. I guess, i am scared and excited, both at the same time. I don’t remember the last time i was this anxious to write an exam. Definitely not in REC or any of the other sem exams here. hmm. Maybe the IIT qualifiers after high school did come close. Anyway, this one is going to be different, i am sure and can’t wait to hit it head on.

Now officially, This is WAR.

Reflection of Lasers

I have stumbled upon one of the most addictive and beautiful game I have ever laid my eyes on. It is beautiful because the simple laws of reflection of light have been so slickly introduced and designed into a simple, rule based game. And it is addictive because it does prove that I can still make this soft mind think and in-effect pushes me to play even more. There is nothing fancy about the game and probably that is also why it stands out. Kudos to the creator !

Here is a small screenshot of the game which has got me tied to the computer more so during my breaks.

And finally, here is the link. If you are sitting there, idly, reading my post right now, click on and play like a maniac.

My current record is Level 16. I am sure i am gonna break it soon, probably in my next break 😉 in about 2 hours. Adios.

Premier League Photo of the Decade

The photo is from the Premier League web site Ten Seasons Awards section.

It is such a great illustration of the empathy (if not outright identification) of the sports fan with the athlete, all the more evident in English soccer because of the unique proximity of the stands to the fields.

I think I recognize Fowler, Owen and Heskey for Liverpool. After some search, i think the keeper is Massimo Taibi in his brief, who had a troubled cameo as Manchester United goalie.

How ironic would it be if he ended up in the photo of the decade …
