Goodbye

तुम अपनी नयी दुनिया में
खो जाओ पराये बन कर
जी पाये तो जी लेंगे हम
मरने की सज़ा पाने को...

जीवन के सफ़र में राही
मिलते हैं बिछड़ जाने को
और दे जाते हैं यादें
तन्हाई में तडपाने को...

A fact, in science, is not a mere fact, but an instance

Check out Bertrand Russell's article 'Characteristics of the Scientific Method' here. Though the practical relevance and accuracy of some of his arguments have changed after 80 years, the crux hasn't. Philosophy of science is a highly delightful and delectable subject (about which scientists are unfortunately unaware or lukewarm) . If you could persevere through slightly complicated language, you will find this readworthy.

He passingly mentions the discipline of animal behaviour, which makes it even more interesting for some of us.

Bin Tere (Reprise)

The Price of Happiness

Replaced Surf with Nirma/Ujala, Nike/Reebok with DJC, Coke with Frooti, Snickers/Toblerone with Cadbury's, Pizzas with Parathas...God, I'm poor!
