There is an exception to every rule..to which there is an exception..for which there is an exception......

While it's been a while since my last post..and I must say the idea of putting something up just for the sake of it, is totally not worth it.. I've flirted with  several topics..Each one seemed a great idea...But i think this one is the best of the lot..The others are a little more insane...And I will  release them in a while..!  The topic is about how we tend make exceptions about rules and how they apply to certain people....So this lead me to a lot of thinking..and I've actually spent a lot of time thinking about this..and also self- observing how I carry out the above...So I beging by asking when we allow ourselves to create an  exception to a rule..When we do so..Do we not assume that the particular instance that we do make an exception is the last one ?  Is it not a pretty poor reflection on ourselves when we tend to go on making exception to rules again and again ? And I am not tallking about silly rules such as " No Choclates today " or " No skipping the gym today " and so on..maybe more serious ones..such as Alcohol abstinence..? Or quitting smoking for example ? And so I began to wonder at what point of time shold we draw the line and say..Enough is enough...Lets stop everything here!!  

The other point in this train of thought that I had is that when we have a certain opinion on something and the a rule we follow on some aspect of life..do we often assume that it is ok for someone else that is a really good friend of ours...or someone that we care about.. to actually violate that rule and go against it..!@??? Why do we then try and spend some effort justifying the fact that it is ok to do so ? Are we then not hypocritical and  slightly disappointing ? Do we not then think to ourselves..Oh no..MAYBE  our opinion on the matter is wrong and that what the other person thinks is actually right ?  Do we always allow ourselves to change our opinion on things ?? Is that ok beacuse after all our opinions can be changed ?? Or do we stay rigid and true to ourselves. ? 

So this is what I have been thinking of  for a while,,and I would love to hear the opinions that you guys have...Mind you if the opionions are that I am a ravaging lunatic...I dont want to heat it..!!!

Do empty vessels really make more noise ?

This is something I have been thinking about for a couple of weeks now..and although this blog is meant to help make me not think of such topics in future, I have found that this is something I wonder pretty often on..So here goes, and this in intended for most of my Indian friends..Do we as Indians tend to spend most of our time thinking about stuff that is of absolutely no importance ? For e.g. Remember the day when you did that thing with all the other people, wasn't that fun ? That persons dress is so weird looking ? I wonder if he/she doesn't take a bath in the morning ? Does that person not like me or looking at me thinking " yuck those Indians ".. Is that girl seeing the guy she is sitting next to ?? and we all know how that questions leads on to another one..But for fear of having this blog flagged of as spam as well.I wont spell that out in words..But I hope you guys get what I mean ? Well if you don't have such random thoughts and think that I am just plain crazy ( Sure there are lots of you guys around ), then don't read on..You'll probably get more bored.

Well what I meant to say is this..Is it just us Indians that tend to " Think " a lot more than than usual Americans ?? Do we spend a lot of our energies actually thinking of such stuff ? And is that why American students are much more organized and ultimately more successful than us ? Is there really a solution to this random thinking ? And if we were to stop doing this random thinking...Would wonderful blogs like this ever come up ?

Why my Biological Clock needs a new Battery

Something I realized through the course of Last semester is that fact that I do indeed have a Biological clock...I've always wondered how people realize that they actually do have one.. But when you cant seem to get up before 2 in the afternoon and when you cant sleep before 3 in the Morning...it sort of dawns on you that there's something wrong with your sleep cycle..Thats what led me to realize that yeah I might need to change the battery on my Bio-Clock ? !!! Its really putting off...You struggle to get up for class...Then since lab has started there's this need to sometimes get up at like 9 in the morning...And there is no was that can happen if i sleep at like 3 in the morning right ?? So whats the solution then..? ? Sleep early..Which is he he almost close to impossible..!!! So you might say, come you lazy ass, and wake up everyday by setting up an alarm ..!! But there comes the other problem.., i cna never ever ever get up to an alarm..Man those things are fucking irritating..!! But I have gotten up everytime i set up an alarm to see a Football match..which I've always thought of as pretty weird I wonder if getting up to an alarm has anything to do with actually want to get up in the morning..I mean yea obviously I have a slight bias towards seeing matches.But I really have wondered if there is a connection between the two..And added on top of that is my poor Roommate's continous wonderment at why I never seem to have to get up..So here goes..Is there an actual solution to changing the battery on my Biological Clock ?? Or i do go get a new one at WAL MART or something ?? Or even better, is it on Amazon ? ...
