Are you a Physicist?

"You might be a Physics Student...

* if you have no life - and you can PROVE it mathematically.
* if you enjoy pain.
* if you know vector calculus but you can't remember how to do long division.
* if you chuckle whenever anyone says 'centrifugal force.'
* if you've actually used every single function on your graphing calculator.
* if when you look in a mirror, you see a physics student.
* if it is sunny and 70 degrees outside, and you are working on a computer.
* if you frequently whistle the theme song to 'MacGyver.'
* if you always do homework on Friday nights.
* if you know how to integrate a chicken and can take the derivative of water.
* if you think in 'maths.'
* if you've calculated that the World Series actually diverges.
* if you hesitate to look at something because you don't want to break down its wave function.
* if you have a pet named after a scientist.
* if you laugh at jokes about mathematicians.
* if the Humane Society has you arrested because you actually performed the Schrodinger's Cat experiment.
* if you can translate English into Binary.
* if you can't remember what's behind the door in the science building which says 'Exit.'
* if you have to bring a jacket with you, in the middle of summer, because there's a wind-chill factor in the lab.
* If you are completely addicted to caffeine.
* if you avoid doing anything because you don't want to contribute to the eventual heat-death of the universe.
* if you consider ANY non-science course 'easy.'
* if when your professor asks you where your homework is, you claim to have accidentally determined its momentum so precisely, that according to Heisenberg it could be anywhere in the universe.
* if the 'fun' center of your brain has deteriorated from lack of use.
* if you'll assume that a 'horse' is a 'sphere' in order to make the maths easier.
# if you understood more than five of these indicators.
# if you make a hard copy of this list, and post it on your door.

Brighter side of breaking up :)

"Dieting is easier when you don’t have an appetite.

Even though you’ve become massively in debt from gifts you bought your ex, at least your newfound addiction to cigarettes has left you with bad breath.

Since on average you fall in love every 9 years, you’ll only be 40 when it happens again.

You get to do a huge spring-cleaning regardless of the season since half your stuff is now in the “memorabilia” category.

You get to experience what its like to be a depressed, tormented artist… just without the motivation or talent.

Crying at movies no longer makes you feel stupid, since it’s the only place where its okay to do it in public.

You can appreciate the nuanced subtlety in the lyrics to Richard Marx’s “I’ll be waiting right here for you”.

You finally get to learn how to delete a number in your cell phone address book.

The fact that your cell phone now has 148 empty slots, gives you a new urgency in reconnecting with lost friends.

You get to experience a deep warm connection when the guy at Starbucks says 'Have a nice day!' and smiles.

You can do empirical studies on whether alcohol is actually a depressant.

You find yourself answering the question “How are you today?” honestly and at great length.

You get to finally reconnect with your pet.

You begin to wonder whether pets think in sentences and whether the words” i love you “ ever crossed their minds.

You get to look forward to dates where you catch someone else up on how many siblings you have as well as all the other mundane facts of your life.

You get to hone your marketing skills by attempting to sell “beauty on the inside” in noisy bars.

You can try to convince your parents that they owe you money considering how much they saved since you aren’t going to have a wedding.

Boggle is easier to win when you play by yourself.

You can remember old times by revisiting the single-serving coffee maker your mom bought you during college.

You get to rely on that killer instinct "

Right in my backyard

One month since the last post. Things have been quite busy on the academic front, something very usual for us civil engineers at SPCE. finaaly im done with my submisions and with prep leave on I guess I can post more frequently (Please associate frequently with a time period of 15 days)

Last four years at SPCE, and I learnt this now !

Right next to my college is ...

Gilbert Hill is a 200 foot (91 m) monolith column of black basalt rock in Andheri, Bombay. The rock has a sheer vertical face and was created when molten lava was squeezed out of the earth's clefts during the Mesozoic Era about 65 million years ago. During that era, molten lava had spread around most of the Indian states of Maharashtra, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh, covering an area of 50,000 sq km. The volcanic eruptions were also responsible for the destruction of plant and animal life during that era.

According to experts, this rare geological phenomenon was the remnants of a ridge and had clusters of vertical columns in nearby Jogeshwari which were quarried off two decades ago. These vertical columns are similar to the Devil's Tower in Wyoming, and the Devil's Post Pile National Monument in eastern California, USA.

Atop the rock column, two Hindu temples; the Gaodevi and Durgamata temples, set in a small garden, is accessed by a steep staircase carved into the rock. The hill offers a panoramic view of the city of Bombay.
