White Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics.

Over the past week I got a lot of insight into what it feels like to be devoid of any kind of a life altogether. I was stuck at home trying to figure out the footlong formulae for a propability of a number to lie between 0.000 and 0.001.

Do you underestimate the capacity of such an occurance or just think in ur head.. Why the F&*@ do i CARE!
Well statisticians would argue saying its insanely important and they do care... heres why.

Starting of with an assumption that statisticians are Sex Deprived Human Beings. (likely posibility since those who werent deprived of it would not be as frustrated with their life as these statisticians are!)

So a bunch of geeky stats guys meet over a cuppa tea and try to find out the probability of them getting any action.
They start with the Basic Formula of N(a)/N(s), and to confirm their fears, the answer is 0!
So they embark on the journey of creating more formulae, each gets longer only to produce the same answer = 0!

Over the period, experience and desperate repetition proved that the formulae produced valid results (ie those that can be repeted n same value dervied!) and everybody started using these formulae for finding probabilities of other events in their lives.. the lifeless statisticians took shelter in the fact that they couldnt get no action so they might as well settle for fame, glory and accomplishment...

Because they were SO bored and so UNLOVED and So unintegrated into society, they emphasised on numbers and statistics so much ... that it came to be worshipped! [u see there are loads of people in the world deprived of action... Some specifially would know what i mean ; ) ]

Basically my point underneath the whole theory is that if only statisticians had not been so damned bored with their lives and SO deprived of LOVE and SEX... we would be spared of studying such a useless subject to start with!

But alas....

my 1st attempt at photoblogging...

Photoblogging looks like fun.. but im a little vary of the "The year that was" or "My life So far" kinda blogs which are usually the result of peoples' 1st attempt at photoblogging. Heres my little attempt at changing its flavor a little bit...

So Hear Goes...
Those two tall slim figures on either side of a baby me are what i call Mom n Dad...
I cant find a better picture to describe our relationship... that tiny little kid was looking up at them in awe.. in her head.. maybe thinking ... "Man...UR HUGE!"
but 16 odd years have gone by.. and she still looks up to them in awe... through the years having discovered that they are big people... not only because they are 30 years older... but because they have the biggest hearts and she can vouch for that for all she am worth!
There are Million things that these 2 individuals and 1 "complete "synergy have taught me.

To list 5 of the Most important ones; I'd Say
1) Independence
2) Selflessness
3) Patience
4) Walking...
5) Driving ;)


Best Friends (Proper noun) = Manasi

Thats what those 2 words translate to in my dictionary because she is one person I can give credit to for everything she has been and done over the 16 years of us being "Best Friends!"
She taught me how to tie my shoe laces...I taught her how to swing...
She tried in vain to teach me how to cycle... I tried in vain to teach her to swim...
We've had our share of fighting, bickering, bitching, hating, and then coming back to each other... knowing that after having been through ALL of that... we're still the same mad lil "Imps" that we have always been and that we belong together!

The 5 things i give her credit for (over everything else) are:
1) "Forgive and Forget"
2) The feeling of "Constant"
3) Whatever little I have of an Artistic Eye
4) Conversations (ask our parents of our ridiculous phone bills growing up ;) )
5) Being Manasi!
