Update catch!

Back to blogging...After a long wait. But, not self-inflicted. Temporarily was this service shut down and now following its restoration, I am following suit. Rubiks cube, anybody wrapping their heads around this? Do not be blinded by the colour squares that pop up everywhere precisely where you want it not to be. Whoever says cubing is easy should be thrust a Rubik instead of a number.

In other matters, Johnson is in a desperate mood to break any person who dares to stand in his way to hitting the stumps, failing which he will do it verbally. If actions fail to speak louder, then words will, by default. AAP is desperately trying to grab attention to its antics, the only thing they have forgotten is that their antics have already been taken note of. They should be made to read the newspapers first, as eminent writers cringe about the loss of reading habits. And movie stars too,for, for any youth and below, the only bamboo product they pick up after bed-rise is the supplement providing the life-and-death news of who Rajni is slated to act with in his next foray.

Elsewhere, the NBA All-stars game is being played with none of the Indians understanding the nuances and intricacies of this beautiful game where players look like giants from another planet and the fight for a ball to be put in a hoop. Barcelona decimate Rayo Vallecano to make us think why not give the league title to them, yet again. Facebook buys Whatsapp for a measly 19-billion dollar deal which got us thinking as to why Zuckerberg could not just renew his Whatsapp subscription with a costly 1-dollar per year. Our Finance Minister, Paneerselvam releases the financial budget for Tamilnadu which we students dutifully read during lecture hours, primarily because even these seem brilliant compared to the lecture drone.

Ending this with another tip of cubing: Do not ever make the mistake of gifting it to a person, not on his birthhour not on his deathhour and not any hour in the middle. If you already did, then redeem yourself before its too late. And by the way solving the cube is just formula-memorization and dedicated application. RUR'URUU is the first step:P.

Sonnet 18

Sonnets do not seem so dull suddenly .  Most of us hate hot and sultry summer days, don't we? Well then. We should be intrigued to witness a minority group that is interested in them. To such a group belongs Shakespeare. Yes. The very same person who penned pearls of wisdom on the landscape of love, the agony of pain and the anti-ephemeral nature of reproduction. Femininity is mostly associated with beauty. William ventures to an extent where he undermines the magnificence of the Sun illuminating Earth, and elevates the beauty of his love. However delve further into the sonnet and you will find a parallel story emerging. A story of the Sun's glory! Weaving both extremes into a single sonnet, he implores the reader to make a choice. Persons who are and have been in love would relate the sonnet to a woman's beauty while the rest would relate it to the Sun. Note the lines 'Rough winds...short a date'. Winds of high velocity may obscure the brightness ...

Head-less and Tail-less.

Crisp. This single five letter word evokes many feelings and pleasant sceneries within us, only upon dwelling though. It may be the delicious crunch of a packet of chips, the refreshing atmosphere surrounding us or one of the many letter-assortments availed to emphasize an individual’s character, to name a few. I will portray this word in a completely new light in this essay, as that in relation to the broad canvas spanned by cyber-borders and its ilk. To initiate the discussion, let us take the case of Narendra Modi, the honourable Prime Minister of India. He ushered in a new paradigm of campaigning in the prelude to the Lok Sabha elections in 2014. Successfully wielding the weapon of social media, he lured the major demographic of India: the youth. That he won the election by a staggering margin is ample proof of what social media and in broader terms, what the Internet can do. The question being debated here is not the after-shocks of social media but the exploitation of the I...

Forks.

There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat, And we must take the current when it serves, Or lose all our ventures.  These lines were spoken by Shakespeare through the guise of Brutus in 'Julius Caesar'. Had my high-school English text not contained lessons on Shakespeare's plays, my thoughts would never have been influenced or widened to the level it currently has been now. The above quote has been one of many that I have tried to understand and also could relate myself to, during my trysts with life's curves. Being an open-minded person comes with its own travails. Acquaintances dismiss you off with a wave of the hand or a shrug of the face whenever you contradict society's opinion. Friends do not quite grasp your flight of thoughts and utter all-too-familiar refrains of exasperation. To ride all this a...
