I Hate Mathematics

Oooh! I can write ten books on this topic. Although before I start, I will take the scared vow of the Brotherhood of Math Hating People. It is as follows :

"I solemnly declare without fear of being called a dumbo, nimcompoop, moron. stupid e.t.c e.t.c that I hate maths. I hate it in all it's forms and practices. I despise those who find mathematics interesting and colourful. I hate all the people of all shapes and sizes and ages who love maths. And I will stand by my word till the last nanosecond of the breath left in my body and I will declare I hate Maths. All heil Biology"

Now I can start my piece on this disgusting subject ever. First of all who is this Aryabhatta. This dude invented or discovered or whatever the term Zero '0'. I mean come on, what was wrong with this bloke? How mentally unstable one has to be to discover something like this. Just Imagine!!!!

Anyways, moving on, let me ask you this question, can you imagne maths? I mean can you see it and imagine it or smell it or visualize it? I can see pictures in history books, I can imagine a lovely scenery after reading a nice piece in english literature, I can smell the fumes coming out of a test tube in a chemistry lab, but can you do any such things with maths???

It's all about numbers, angles, and god knows what else. I mean a train is going this way with this much speed and another one is coming in the opposite direction with this much speed. Find out the relative speed. WHY???? I MEAN COME ON!!!! Let the trains be.As long as they dont collide let them be man. What relative, felative, superlative speed you are talking about here. I mean what kind of a person will come up with something like this. To torture and tease human beings who just wants the trains TO BE!!! God!! I really never could solve this one or understand why it was so important to find the solution to this problem when the two trains are on different tracks altogether.

There is another type of maths, it is called geometry. Ooooh. this one is filthy!! I tell ya!!! Filthy!!! It can give you nightmares, daymares even in extreme cases afternoonmares too. Oh! How I suffered at the hands of this unforgiving beast. First of all, the part of my brain which is supposed to be dealing with shape and stuff is not very functional, second I dont understand angles and third I am bad at drawing stuff. Oh!! this one was like torture. How many days and weeks I prayed that I can get rid of this subject you people wont believe. What pain and anguish I suffered at the hands of this is beyond human understanding. I used to wish everyday that my geometry teacher will call in sick or she has expired or the school has declared that geomatry is out of syllabus. But none of this as you guessed it right never happened. From 6th till 10th standard I was subjected to the torture of this beast. So you can see it has a lasting effect as I have still not gotten over it.

The most unforgiving lot are the parents. It's like if a child is not good at maths he or she is an automatic dumbass and an object of shame. That is it. No further discussion. Straightway judgement is passed. Everytime you bring in the report card, first thing dad will take a look at is how much you scored in maths!!! WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What about the ten or eleven other subjects? Why do you have to take a look at that one subject in which I have invariably scored the lowest or have barely passed. And this thing can get worse if you have a brilliant in maths brother or sister or cousin you are like so dead. The humiliation is complete. The comparison will start and will never end. Even when you are thirty or forty they will still compare... oh! how good he or she was in maths so naturally their kids are also good...somehow indirectly pointing out that we have not much hope with your kids as they are going to be dumbasses as you are and for what....all this is because of MATHS!!!! Ooooooh! How much I hate it.

My Favorite Pastimes

I have often been intrigued by the term hobby!! I mean what kind of a term is that? HOBBY?? or when people ask you what are your HOBBIES??? It sounds very funny to my ears. So I have decided that it is better to write 'Past time' then Hobby.

Well before I start this I must mention something here, there is a reason for me to name my blog the way it is, I really do love to talk to people. Most of the times it is misunderstood and I am labeled as talkative, but I really find it extremely stimulating to talk to people from different backgrounds, different taste, different interest, I mean there is so much to know and I find conversing with someone is the best way to know more stuff, so as to speak. And one thing helps and that is that I am not judgmental, other than some extreme cases.


Lets see, I like watching movies, (WHO DOESN'T) apart from horror flicks, unfortunately I am going to be watching one very soon,( The Reaping). There is a reason for me not to like horror flick's and I can definitely for sure blame the whole thing on my Big Brother.... Yeah that is correct, he used to scare me to death every night with this phrase "DRACULA!!! ---THERE IS DRACULA HIDING OVER THERE, WAITING FOR YOU" Man you guys wont believe this I used to pray so that I wont have to get up in the middle of the night to take a piss. Such an A-hole!!! (This is said with fondness) Apart from that I like all genres of movies, sci-fi and adventure stuff are my favorites. My all time favorite ones are as follows: (This should be interesting I have watched a lot of movies)
  • Star Wars (Only the older ones, not the new episodes, too much of CGI.)
  • Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade(The whole series in fact, this one is my favourite.)
  • Lord of the Rings (The whole series, read the book too)
  • A Walk In the Clouds (If you guys have not seen this one, watch it, its beautiful)
  • Von Ryan's Express
  • The Great Escape
  • Pulp Fiction
  • MacKennas Gold (That song ' Old Turkey Buzzard is so cool. I love that song)
  • King Solomon's Mines
  • Aliens (First time I watched it, it was with my brother, I was hiding under the seat majority of the time, not Kiddin!!! )
  • The Good, Bad and the Ugly
  • Sholay (This one is my all time favorite Hindi movie)
  • Gupi Gayen Bagha Byen,the whole series, (This one is my all time favorite Bengali Movie.)
  • The Ghost and the Darkness
  • The Omen (Original version, cannot help it, it was nice)
  • Golmaal (The original) There are very few comedies made better than this.
  • Coming to America (Watch this one, it's funny)
  • Sleepless in Seattle
  • Forest Gump
  • The Sound Of Music
  • Guns Of Navaronne
  • Silence of the Lambs (I just love this series and also Sir Anthony Hopkins, he is too cool)
  • Surviving Picasso
  • A Bridge too Far
  • Platoon
  • First Blood
  • Rocky4
  • Mission Impossible (I like the whole series so far)
  • Hearts In Atlantis (No this one is not about Atlantis)
  • North by Nothwest
  • The Fourth Protocol
  • Where Eagles Dare
  • Arsenic and Old Lace (This is an Old movie, but if you can watch it, this is one of the funniest movies I have seen, it is hilarious)
  • An Affair to Remember(An All time Classic)
  • Philadelphia
  • Bachelor Party (This one is cool, it has got Tom Hanks starring, entertaining for us i.e)
  • The Matrix
  • Enter the Dragon (All time favorite martial arts movie)
  • My Own Private Idaho
  • Point Break
  • Young Guns
  • Unforgiven
I will keep on adding to this, as I will remember more, for now this is it.

My Fellow Freaks!!!!

I am a self confessed freak.I dont feel shame for confessing this. I mean I am different, and everyone different is viewed as a freak. Check this dude out. Necrophobic He is someone I know and he is very curious about DEATH!!! Now one might say what a freak!! And this is the reason I am mentioning his blog here, coz he is different and so a fellow freak.

Everyone would like to see themselves as being different, but not everyone is. Hidden inside us is the same urge to be praised and worshipped and be the most popular guy in the group. But not everyone notices one thing and that is, the ones who actually gets to become that crowned jewel is someone who was once called a FREAK!!! And the reason for people following him or admiring him is that he is at the core DIFFERENT FROM THE REST...A FELLOW FREAK.
