11 thoughts in Dark Humour

1. I always thought that life would open up after iit. It did, n it chewed too.... now i am just waiting when it would go for a dump n flush me out....

2. Every wednesday our mess serves chicken. If the piece is bigger than 2 inches you get 1! If its less than that you get 2.. Its more of a way of showing that chicken is still not extinct actually..


3. I dreamed of becoming a physicist. N then i look at my electrodynamics prof. and realize that any dream no matter how big, can go horribly wrong n still come true!


4. I was sitting at the wind tunnel a couple of days back n i saw this girl i was about to hit on. But i didnt coz i found out she aint single. Its wrong you know.. Its like i am trying to walk into society n it looks at my Y chromosomes... n then says, 'Sorry sir, those aren't allowed!'


5. There are two types of people who have eaten up our society. People with money and people with religion. N then there are two types of people who have been eaten up- people who lived for money and people who craved for religion...

Frankly, everywhere i go i get to see a lot of eaten up digested zombies dancing around and going.... gaaaaaa.... n i am like 'oh yeah, sure, thats exotic, now fuck off!'

6. At times, oh well actually lotsa times, people tell me that smoking kills and i would die and shit this, shit that n bla bla bla.... 

n i think, ' Okay, so i would die and he would live... well, if god really had to make so many immortals, we sure could use a lil less talkative ones! '

7. At times people tell me unemployment stories and what i would do with a physics degree... 

i just tell them that i would go back home, build a massage parlor, give random massages to fat-arse aunties while telling them physics stories of fast electrons and bending time!

8. So she was really drunk and beautiful that night so i gave her a lift home, kissed her and returned back to iit. I guess that was the 2nd time i said no to alcohol flavored sex(1st time on iit roof)... 

I still feel both the girls no matter where they are now and all my sperm cells in my sperm city must be laughing at me.. saying, 'Aaaah, that helpful worthless clown!'
I dont blame them, i think the same. But i dont regret it though... oh well, may be a lil bit. 

9. As a high-school kid iit was all about going abroad at the end of 2nd yr, 3rd yr and then going away n never coming back at the end of the 4th. This summer i left my foreign intern just to work in IIT Delhi to work under a theoretical physicist who has come from IITk. Honestly, all that i come to know now is that dreams dont commute

Guess Hisenberg just left that for us to figure out on our own....

10. So i had this friend in my room that day n i was like... dude what is the 1st thing you see in a girl? he kept on going from eyes to face to waist to personality n all... i guess the clusters came in at 8th n 9th. 

N then i was like... 'guys are going gay, n its worse coz this time gays are equipped well for producing more gays!!' I still doubt it though ;-)

11. I had a friend during the summers and we were working under the same prof, different projects though. Being physics interns working in hardcore theory we were proud people. And at times in reading room, he would see photos in fb of engineers in gown, graduating and he would be like..

'look, one more useless engineer enters the world'
me- ' yeah kinda amazing how happy they become... to become nothing at all!'
n then we laughed..
I am pretty sure some engineer right now is looking at it from the other side of the screen n saying...
'look, one more unemployed worthless physicist is about to crowd the over-crowded world' n having a laugh with his other engineer friend at the same time.
I dont mind. Nature is relative n so are you n I. ;-)

Face to face with Feynman

Personally the entire idea of looking up to a role model never seemed attractive or worth appreciating to me. One's journey should be independent and an unguided walk towards a self chosen horizon on a self contained highway.. But then along the way you do come across people and get to know about their stories and every once in a blue moon you do come to admire a few of them truly and get deeply inspired by them. 
One of those few people for me is Richard Feynman.

Feynman was a theoretical physicist of mid 20th century. Nobel laureate for his theory on Quantum Electrodynamics and an eternal figure in physics for many other contributions; Feynman, apart from being one of the most gifted scientists of his times was also a very colorful person- a bongo player, a nude artist, a womanizer n yet a dedicated lover, an eternal enthusiast, a safe cracker, a humorous show-offer, a truly talented lecturer and so much more...

Every physicist like every footballer or every musician has his own style. Feynman was known for his intuition, his very visual imagination and his capability of mathsifying them to equations that in turn could speak for his thoughts loud and clear..

Interesting thing is I came to know of Feynman long after i started pursuing physics. Truth is my entry into physics was very mathematical. As a kid back in school i guess the only thing that i tried and did was mathematics. Even though school maths was pretty trivial and stupid but i still had my own times with classical geometry and algebra. And when i entered in my higher secondary and got into physics, it was truly enlightening in the sense that i got to know that all those lines and circles, xs and ys weren't just little games i used to play on white sheets but those were 'real' as in i could use them to understand things going on in the real world! I guess thats when i got hooked for good. It was only after i finished school, entered iit and while chatting with a friend in fb (i guess Ojas) that he told me that there's this guy called Feynman and " dude's lectures are actually pretty great! " :D


 

____

I wanted to talk about Feynman's path integral formulation of quantum mechanics but then i figured the man truly needs to get a sexy intro! I appreciated Feynman before as a great historical figure but his science was beyond me then so i never could truly appreciate him as a scientist... but a few days back i reached the chapter on path integrals and the Lagrangian formulation in Shankar's QM book and i finally came to see Feynman's work. One word -' amazing ' 

So that's why I dropped by here today to talk about it but then may be many of you dont know about him which is of course not required to appreciate his work but still... dude was awesome so i guess its okay to waste a post just like that and get back to path integrals on the next post! : )

and here are some photos.... enjoy! ;-)

___________________________________________ __ __






the 3 vol.s of Feynman's lectures are still very famous amongst physics students... 






That's Arline, Feynman's colg. time girl friend. She had Tuberculosis. Nevertheless he did marry her even after knowing that she would die soon so that he could take care of her... she died n he went into 'bang everyone phase'


 'lets get banging, shall we??' ;-)



Feynman playing bongos! 
' On the infrequent occasions when I have been called upon in a formal place to play the bongo drums, the introducer never seems to find it necessary to mention that I also do theoretical physics.'







These are some of his sketches.....





that's i guess one of his rough notes... every physics student ends up with a huge collection of these of his own... apparently his doodles were of the same quality as his work unlike us of course! :D

' A poet once said, "The whole universe is in a glass of wine." We will probably never know in what sense he meant that, for poets do not write to be understood. But it is true that if we look at a glass of wine closely enough we see the entire universe. '








' I have a friend who's an artist and he's sometimes taken a view which I don't agree with very well. He'll hold up a flower and say, "Look how beautiful it is," and I'll agree, I think. And he says - "you see, I as an artist can see how beautiful this is, but you as a scientist, oh, take this all apart and it becomes a dull thing." And I think that he's kind of nutty. First of all, the beauty that he sees is available to other people and to me, too, I believe, although I might not be quite as refined aesthetically as he is; but I can appreciate the beauty of a flower. At the same time I see much more about the flower than he sees. I can imagine the cells in there, the complicated actions inside which also have a beauty. I mean it's not just beauty at this dimension of one centimetre, there is also beauty at a smaller dimension, the inner structure. Also the processes, the fact that the colours in the flower evolved in order to attract insects to pllinate it is interesting - it means that insects can see the colour. It adds a question: Does this aesthetic sense also exist in the lower forms? Why is it aesthetic? All kins of interesting questions which shows that science knowledge only adds to the excitement and mystery and the awe of a flower. It only adds; I don't understand how it subtracts. '

Ambiguity

I was happy
I was a happy sperm when i won the race.
Scared, i cried like hell
Seeing the old nurse's tired face.
I was a dreamer
I dreamed of free wings and a newer horizon,
the world on the other side and a bright new sun.
But then hey, 
They never taught me how to dream,
A lil too grey.. A lil less did i say..
That their reality always lacked the cream.

I was a traveller
I travelled through the stagnant planes, ups, downs
Pretty strangers who walked by in glossy gowns..
But then this heart that i carried along 
Always bore this undefined , unrealized ambiguity
A soul drifting by in sheer anonymity..

I am still me
Anonymous, obscure, confused..
and yet there's always one more dream to see
One more highway that wants me to flee.
And why so hard is it even now
That this empty soul cant give up on reality?..

The Empty Dance Floor...

I sketched her and i sketched her nice
With empty eyes and unreal lies.
Empty dance floors and forbidden rythms
Confused me to uncanny rhymes.
I stared at her and i wont anymore
I find she never was singing the single lore
But i still stand here beside the empty floor
With a single heart that wants to soar.
Man, i should have known she wasnt single
Never was the friendly stranger up to mingle
But then again the poor boy walks
and he walks away from the empty dance floor
With piercing eyes set across the big blue shore.

The cigarette burnt, the dj stopped
The girls left and reality dropped
The smoke cleared
and i could finally see whats left
moonlit, my corner seat
did finally get me in its debt..
The last sip of my scotch that i did save
Didnt quite save me anymore...
But nevertheless i did embrace the empty dance floor..... . .


PS: Next blog post would be on my project and physics... I have had it with stupid despo chick-hunting times...... -_-

The North Indian Algorithm of Having a ' g f '

Reason why i am still single is this--> (so dont fucking ask me again why i am c-| )

North Indian Algorithm Of Getting Girls

Phase1
1. Sit amongst your friends and spot a chick and lock your target on her like an eternal despo.
2. Stalk her on fb, follow her around and eventually you get to know her friends n movements n all..
3. Find a guy friend of hers whom you got to know from 2 and make him a mutual one. 
4.Use him to get her in a pre-planned situation with your mutual. Eventually you drop by and make him introduce you to her and vice versa.  

Now the poor giirl thinks you are not a creepy despo (which you are) and you just 'happened' to meet her just like one of her favorite 'bollywood' movies..

Phase2
5. Become a blood sucking fevicol and attend her hang outs and keep the mutual guy pretty close.
6. Eventually you exchange no.s with her and start whats called the 'phone complications'... Through this you go from 'friend' to 'close friend' to 'closer friend' to more... This part basically includes cheesy smses and stuff.
7. And finally when you have fed her with enough complications to completely leave her confused, you find the right time and then do what they call 'propose' 
(weird! people here dont know the difference between 'propose' which is used as in marraige proposals and 'confess' which i guess is the right word but then hey, you cant help it, its north india sweetheart..)
8. If she accepts it you take her out on a coffee and if she doesnt you go back to your pile of single friends and bitch about her and say shit and look for your next target.

So, thats how it works over here. Not that i hate north indians (i actually have a lot of good friends, guys and girls) but frankly speaking, wearing mini skirts and getting drunk doesnot show you are modernised. In the rest of the world the algorithm is simple.
1. You walk up to a pretty girl and strike a conversation.
2. and then If she is interesting (which she might or might not be,), ask her out for a coffee.
3. Take her around and if you guys are compatible and commute then move on from 'dating' to a 'relationship' or else retire back and stay friends and part ways.... 

See, its that simple for the rest of the world but that aint gonna work here, why?
coz..
1. guys are 'afraid' of girls. (in a mall, i asked a friend of mine to go hit on a girl, he told me he almost had a heart attack while walking upto her! :D )
2. girls get freaked out by strangers. (A friend of mine who is a girl, told me to keep chatting with this chick for '2 months' before i ask her to come out for a coffee! :D )

Even though its all weird from an alien eye but this puzzling society is also self consistent and logical. The girl is never really sure if he is going to get drunk and stick a fucking rod inside her crotch (Delhi rape case... you never hear these anywhere else....) or creep her out in some other of his exotic ways...
And even the guy has to fake the entire thing and make that classic 'bollywood' entry (so that the girl doesnt consider him to be a psycho creepy rapist or something, which clearly he is not mosta the time)... and then pretend to be a casual innocent friend who sometimes looses it and acts funny and confusing (thats how you incorporate the  cheesy smses n everything..) and finally hit her before she knows it. If you dont fake it, she ll freak out.... and if you arent smart enough you might just scare the girl away.

Not all the guys make it though, most of the time the guys after the entire of his 4 months' struggle just get 'bro-zoned' , 'friend-zoned' n all types of other special 'zones' are there. 
Many times the guy infatuates so much along the way coz notice the guy is after the girl like mad for such a long time and that too even without knowing her that well. And its because of this heavy infatuation that at the end when she says 'no', he will finally get to know that he has a pair of balls hanging around his dick and how he expresses this feeling is by 'bitching' about her, saying random shit about her n all( not all of them do that though)... many times guys are even found commiting suicides, crying like a fat cry baby n many other types of simmilar activities are being seen in heart broken north indian guys.. (notice, all that for some pretty face that he didnt even get to know that well on the 1st place...)

Weird part of the story is this that this never ending cheesy story based on a 'despo' guy faking it all along and a 'proud' girl daydreaming in some unrealistic bollywood land is called 'love'.
Seriously, give me a break..... -__-

Me? well, err..

Hi.. i am Chitrodeep. Friends call me chitro.

I am a physics student at IIT Delhi doing my btech in engineering physics. Becoming a theoretical physicist someday is a dream but for now i am just enjoying the whole drive on the highway towards it. As every chapter and every day unfolds i get to see nature coming alive a li'l bit more and nothing gives a man more pleasure than getting to know why nature is the way she is.. So, yeah physics is a passion that defines me but then its not the only one.


Apart from physics I also like cartooning, traveling , drinking red wine, smoking Davidoff Classics, meeting new strangers, seeing new places (i strive for change and to be on the road in search for newer horizons; to somewhere away from any given boring social nest is what i am made for! 6-j )

I love listening to Nirvana, Iron and Wine, Fossils etc; Favorite pass time's got to be 
1. sketching nudes (always had a mysterious appreciation and attraction towards the feminine form!O_o) 
2. reading Calvin and Hobbes strips. (Bill Watterson sure has given the world an amazing window to escape into a world of a small lonely kid and his imaginary friend, 'a tiger'! and what he has done will echo through eternity.)

Other than that i am a pretty chilled out guy who likes taking life as it comes and leave it by as it passes away. For me living the dreams is so much more important than seeing them and waiting for them to come true.

At one point of my life i never thought writing could ever be my cup of tea but i guess life truly is a wonderful journey of self discoveries. So here i am, looking forward to read, write n share..;-)

Having said all that i would have to say that i am still on the process of self discovery and selfish excursions; I still dont know completely who Chitrodeep is and how i can expand his horizons more in newer dimensions. I still dont know how much more wind his good ol' wings need beneath them and how much more storm they would love to challenge. So yeah, the quest is ' O N ' babes..;-) 




I stare at it and i decide to stand by it, my good ol' painting
It still seems some shades are given while some still need making.... 





wow! writing about yourself was sorta...  part creepy and part fun! 3:D~
