something tht i can identify with..

Don't ask questions, you should be seen and not heard!
Who are you to think? it is so because it is so!
Don't try to understand, believe!
Don't argue, obey!
Don't rebel, adjust!
Don't stand out, belong!
Don't struggle, compromise!
Who are you to know?
society knows best!
Who are you to object?
All values are relative...

- Ayn Rand ( Atlas Shrugged)

these lines I'm reminded of, often. by instances tht happen in my life and the ones tht I see hppening to others. damn it!! why do I take life soo seriously??

looking around...

Tell me why
the moon plays peek-a boo,
the stars twinkle,
the seasons change,
but people care no more..

Tell me why
when we hear a cry,
we do not wipe the tear,
but shrug our shoulders
and walk away...

Tell me why
there are many old and weary,
wanting to die,
but it is the young ones that are nipped
without a chance to bloom...

Tell me why
the world is dark
though the sun is shining
there is blood everywhere
but none in people's heart

Tell me why
give me reasons
make me understand...
are we asking,
'who is my brother?'...

An introspection of a math student

It ws the day b4 my math ppr..
i ws getting really worked up seeing the books piled in a heap.
the Delhi dust still on their covers..
desperetly wishing to take my mind off
i read the syllabus,
which looked like a dozen greek letters
not different frm the ones in the text..
the result of this tiresome exercise is
the not so brilliant scribbling tht follows..

On the eve of the exam!!
Some real analysis:

On the eve of the Exam!!

Some real analysis:

Going through the syllabusmy head is in a whirl,
Successive + partial differentiation
Equals failure undefferentiated for me,
I'm so over my limits and stilll continuing,
Going off the tanget nd still hoping to remain normal,
The singular point??
Will the curve of my results
pass the point of inflection??

will it have a +ve slope??
or will its curvature fom a perfect circle??
if the theory of equations cud solve this problem..

cos and sin seem to get tangled and tanned,
multiply or divide, add or subtract,
the result tends to zero..
will i be the lowest ranking matrix
in the vast 3-d space of student vectors??
is my grade going to show a null set??


oh my marks seem to be non derivable
my future indeterminant,
who can integrate me from this differentiatetd state?
oh the problem is so complex,
hope the answer is non trivial..

lemme take a path asymptotic to de- moiver's
nd get help frm pythagoras nd euler,
cos othrwise i'll truly be a shining Indian,
holding the numeral of Indian origin lovingly in my hands... ;)
