http://rohitsrealm.com/archive/2013/03/24/rohit-reviews-nausea

March 24, 2013. Well, dear readers, it's been a while. I hope you didn't miss me too much over the past few months. (I grant you that it is hard indeed to imagine the scenario in which anyone might miss me or this most dreadful blog, but hey—the world is full of strange and dreadful phenomena. Who am I to judge? By Jean-Paul Sartre, which I finished on a plane from Los Angeles to New York last Christmas. To put it mildly, it was definitely not a merry read. Sartre's first novel, and purportedly his best,.

http://rohitsrealm.com/archive/2008/05/05/stable-marriage-and-information-failure-in-the-social-marketplace

May 05, 2008. Stable Marriage and Information Failure in the Social Marketplace. Standing around at a bar last Friday night, sipping a dirty martini and semi-engaged in a lackluster conversation with some random woman I had met approximately ninety seconds earlier, I felt my thoughts drift almost involuntarily from trying to figure out whether she was attractive or I was hallucinating, to the Stable Marriage Algorithm and pervasive information failures in day-to-day existence. This is only one of the.

Rohit's Realm | The Principles of Discontentment

http://rohitsrealm.com/archive/2006/09/19/the-principles-of-discontentment

September 19, 2006. The Principles of Discontentment. I was recently asked what, in retrospect, may possibly be the single most poignant question one can ask another human being:. What in this life do you live for? Put another way—a way that is more appropriate for an article on rohitsrealm.com. Why is it that you have not yet killed yourself and put everyone out of their collective miseries? Ostensibly, this should be a rather easy question to answer insofar as you are not actively contemplating suicide.

September 24, 2010. Fun with Flex, Bison, and Friends. Has been particularly prolific. For me, if this (worthless) site. I wrote more regularly in the last three weeks elapsed than I had in the past three years. Dragon of existential angst.

Rohit's Realm | Some Reflections on the Tenth Anniversary of the Realm

http://rohitsrealm.com/archive/2012/08/18/some-reflections-on-the-tenth-anniversary-of-the-realm

August 18, 2012. Some Reflections on the Tenth Anniversary of the Realm. Even typing that title is a little disorienting: has it really been. Have I really been tending this miserable little spot on the web full of irrational rage. And misguided existential angst. And random computer shit. Am I really so. That a decade can pass me by with nary a notice? And yet it is. Although some manifestation of this website has existed since Halloween of 2001, the blog. And now New York. Than I was then.

Rohit's Realm | 30 Seconds of Bliss (in an Otherwise Meaningless Existence)

http://rohitsrealm.com/archive/2007/11/24/30-seconds-of-bliss-in-an-otherwise-meaningless-existence

November 24, 2007. 30 Seconds of Bliss (in an Otherwise Meaningless Existence). Tis the season of giving thanks, or at least the time for decadent consumption and mindless consumerism, so to counteract—I mean, commemorate—this. Period of the year, I thought I would add my own (necessarily worthless) two cents to the loud din of Thanksgiving-related postings permeating the so-called blogosphere. Now, as we all know, I am nothing if not the stereotypical bourgeoisie. Mdash;even for my usual suicidal. That ...

September 20, 2007. Tying the Noose: Criteria for Marital Bliss. Though I have not yet attained the age where relatives routinely harass me about asinine topics such as. Or, worse,. It seems that no conversation these days, whether it be with friends or strangers, is complete without a discussion of one's.

Rohit's Realm | On Asset Classes and Relationship Portfolios

http://rohitsrealm.com/archive/2011/07/04/on-asset-classes-and-relationship-portfolios

July 04, 2011. On Asset Classes and Relationship Portfolios. As the wretched few who have been with me for far too many years know, there are moments, thankfully few and far in between, when I emerge from a haze of existential angst. To direct my attention and incoherence upon some subject other than the futility of life. One such phenomenon with which I have occupied myself over the years is social networking, or more specifically, the proper mechanisms by which to sort. Still exists on the web. Disclai...

Rohit's Realm | The Curse of an Overly Analytical Mind

http://rohitsrealm.com/archive/2006/09/25/the-curse-of-an-overly-analytical-mind

September 25, 2006. The Curse of an Overly Analytical Mind. Have you ever engaged in an experience with the full knowledge that it would be the last time you ever experience it? How did that change that experience? Is there a fundamental duality between engaging in an experience—physically, mentally, emotionally—and garnering an understanding of the implications of that experience? Does a Heisenberg-esque Uncertainty Principle. Exist in social interactions as much as it does in quantum mechanics? It is t...
