Check this out.
I wish I had the aptitude (or rather appetite) for learning math like that kid.
Today, I had one of the most refreshing debates on facebook. I dont know if non-friends can access it, but I am posting the link anyway-

Phew! Thats a lotta travelling.
Okay, that has been a hectic one and a half months, which saw me travel large distances. As soon as my exams got over, on May 1st I left Chennai for Delhi, where I was hoping to meet some old friends and school. That happened, and it was fun visiting the school once again, being introduced by your teachers as the smartest kid in class, best quizzer etc. (I was never good with modesty, though I loved being honest). On my last day there, I made the mistake of spending a 150 bucks to watch Watchmen, which according to me, was a very weird movie, the kind of which you have to wiki afterwards, so that you get those Ohhhh-so-that-was-what-that-was-all-about moments.
I am sorry Doc, but I just didn't like it.
After that and a 45 hours spent in a train in which they serve food for people with minuscule stomachs (they serve 2 rotis, so small that you can feed them to ants, and still they will be crying for more), I reached God's Own (mine too) Country's capital. 2 days later was a cousin's wedding, in which I had good traditional food after a hell of a long time, and boy, was I a wolf that day. In Kerala I met up with a friend and had nice game of football. Otherwise, my hours were passed in eating, sleeping and playing badminton.
After that, I reached Mumbai on the 4th of June, where I enjoyed Vada Pav, and some quality reflection time in front of the TV, where I realized that India wasn't going to win this World Cup T20. On 12th, I boarded the Saurashtra Mail, and here I am in the land of Milk and ....errr....well, not sure there is a lot of Honey here, but still its fine.
This entire trip around India saw me put on fat, and with no sign of any physical exercise for the next 2 months........I am told that the future is clouded by tachyons (Thank you for that insight, Doc Manhattan). I ate a lot of stuff, and most of it was awesome. I developed a love for fish, all kinds of them - be it fried or curry.
Karimeen Pollichathu - One of my favourite dishes, which involves doing some kind of cooking that I do not know to a fish which is peculiar to Kerala backwaters.
Now that I am in a city which can hardly call my home (I have stayed in this house for only 10 days, and know absolutely no one here except for my dad’s colleagues) my days here shall be passed in driving lessons, playing the piano, watching TV (lots of it), reading books and whiling away time on the Internet. I leave with a question which has disturbed me quite often –
In a movie theatre, which arm rest is yours?
