Some Poetry

Oh, tell the people what matters Death doesn’t care about your money, As for family, it’ll probably end, Well before the last stars cease to remain sunny Oh, if perhaps, from this hopelessly large, Chessboard, if you find the rules, Maybe, we all will get closer To the “bright point of light”, Which we all can’t seem to stop thinking about I don’t fear failure, not even if it becomes my whole life For each Michelson-Morley experiment, There may be bound to appear, The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Observatory (Sidenote: Michelson and Morley were pretty successful in their own right) I don’t want to hear that, “God does not make mistakes” If he does exist, he probably made too many Otherwise, how would we marvel,  at this marvellous world, where man didn’t take the risk it takes?

I love people/I hate people

Pro-social Samyak: Human is a social animal. How on Earth can a human live without social interaction? After all, research has proven it has many benefits! Anti-social Samyak: Benefits? What benefits are you talking about? All this nuisance of making contacts and basing your life decisions upon them? These funny little creatures, whom even you  sometimes think is just part of an elaborate machine prank on the mind that we all inhabit Pro-social Samyak: That is all moonshine! Talk about that when you know how VR actually works and other problems related to Computational Complexity Anti-social Samyak: It is useless to base your emotions and life goals around people that aren't you. After all, what have they done for you? The first thoughts that come to my mind are of humiliation and exclusion. I don't need those idiots  Pro-social Samyak: You're asking what they have done for me? Ask what they haven't done for me! You are who you are because of whom you befriended and who...

Goodbye, 2020

As we all wave goodbye to you, during your last 2 days of existence, let me deliver your "eulogy" of sorts: Thank you for coming to this part of the Internet to celebrate the life and, why not say it, death of 2020. I remember her childhood, January when we all were filled with hopes of a great new decade. I wanted to make this year the most cherished year of my childhood, my junior year in high school and sweet 16! None could have thought what happened to her two months down the line, the most cherished months of spring, even though humanity's medicine had progressed since we last left her relatives, a 100 years ago. She, one of the chosen leap years, would've hosted the Summ...

Happy Holiday Season!

It's the Christmas Eve today, and winter feels like I am still in February and not December , yet the calendar and computer refuse to say so. We will all be entering the year 12 , 021  (Let's hope it's gonna be a bit less exciting/boring than 12,020), the beginning of my final year in school, and my (at least partly) entry into adulting!  Right now, I am engrossed in prepping for some of the tests that have the power to influence the trajectory of my life (JEE, KVPY, IOQP, NTSE-II) and thus I prefer to refrain myself from enjoying the festive mood. However, I wish y'all a really Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year! Je vous souhaite à tous un très joyeux Nöel et une très bonne année! (Thanks 2 years of High School French) Courtesy: Pinterest Au revoir!

The rate of flow of time: Which is increasing, at least for me

  Not so long ago, during my 14th year of existence, I thought this was rubbish, how can life possibly speed up? Obviously, it must be some kind of adult joke which I can't possibly understand. Yet, even in this sentence, I find for myself that, yeah, "time" does fly fast. It has been three years since I shifted to this huge city, whose innards I have yet to visit, two years since I went to Earth Science Olympiad camp and almost a year since COVID-19 has transformed our lives for at least another year to come (Stay safe and wear a mask, GET VACCINATED!!!) (Future Samyak:<digression>) Yet, I almost always think of myself as that middle school kid in the small town of Jammu, who used to boast about being the smart guy and winning all the non-sports competitions in the town.  In short, "hot and happening"! My position on the Dunning Kruger graph for Life and other HS topics This attitude, due to being a large fish in a small pond, was all but destroyed when I...
