Run Arjun Run !!

Long car rides on a bright sunny day through the numerous villages and open fields scattered on the banks of national highway 24 seem to ever-fascinate me. On more than one occasion have I dreamily entertained the thought of just getting out of the car and run through the fields for no simple rhyme or reason.
I can always make up a reason for this thought, say to touch the horizon, but giving such a reason is worse than revealing none. The spirit of free man in me always takes over my dreams (or day dreams) and pushes me to think and act as if the world has no limitations.
Now of course running through the open fields without any reason, do not indicate crossing any trifling limitation.
In symbol, the above paragraph indicates all the wishes i have, all my likes and dislikes that i want to pursue, which so far have been neglected. I spend everyday contemplating their[my imminent wishes] necessity, my laziness and my incompetence. Is it possible for me to just run to them ? I wish.
Not very insightful ? Well who said it would be.

Eat like a Mathematician

Lately i have been eating like a student of a business school. They admire the fastness of the fast food, the economies of scale and the consequential affordability. They eat keeping their retirement plan in mind and healthily-ever-after-attitude. Whatever be the goal, healthy eating is the way to success of mind, body and soul.
Mathemaiticians, whenever they eat, eat the best. Their diet, naturally, comprises of fresh fruits (especially apples), juices, salads, cold sandwiches, white meat and loads of coffee (ouch!). It is just not the menu but also the time of their meals which leads to their sharp minds.
Juicy hamburgers (fozen stuff always leaves some water), grilled chicken and french fries is the worst invention (or discovery) of mankind. And i have rediscovered it so many times myself, without learning an important lesson. That i, as a Mathematician have no retirement plan, and so i should train my body for the long journey and not look for the short term gains. Anyways the fried stuff is disturbing my study habits, sleeping schedule and giving me a paunch. So i can bypass the philosophy and cut the crap from my diet.

The above paragraph is not copyrighted, so please feel free to share the above view with friends and family and encourage them to eat healthy. And my business school friends: Eat busy.
