I don’t know why things start with a bang and then fade slowly into darkness. Take orkut for example. In the beginning it was a craze- people formed thousands of communities- and now look- there’s hardly any activity going on. If we drew a graph of activity versus time, it would be an exponential curve, downwards. Wonder why. Consistency. Maybe it’s the same logic of ‘It’s easy to make a promise, but immensely difficult to follow it through’...When we fade out of one, the other ones surface; and the same repeats. Is that why they say ‘history repeats itself’?

These fashion ‘forecasts’ are crazy. I refuse to ‘get’ them - WHO decides what is IN fashion and what is OUT-OF fashion? Everything seems to be coming round- my mom laughs at our lack of originality...What is ‘IN’ now, is what was ‘IN’ even when she was a teenager- ‘Nothing great in the human race having had 25 years to evolve- we’ve arrived at the same thing!’

I have never applied make-up on my face. Till today. Eye pencil. I wonder if it’s the age factor- the older you get, the more make-up you start applying... It amuses me to see how ALL women are scared of growing old. EVERYONE wants to ‘stay young’. ‘18 till I die’.

I was giving physics ‘gyaan’ to my friend over chat yesterday- reminded me of the times I used to hang out in the yahoo physics chat room- we were a wonderful set of psychos; nothing else but ‘miscellaneous’ to describe us--> school kids, accomplished businessmen, architecture students looking for a ‘break’, misled stalkers, time-passers, genuine physicists, losers, and pick pockets- ALL came together to discuss the string theory. Of course, the theory also included unexpected and sometimes undesirable field trips into random talk- hehe- but it was fun altogether. I don’t think I will get to experience that again. But I will surely tell my grandchildren about it. :)
