The Dead Sea Scrawls: July 2005
http://ijalabs.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html
The Dead Sea Scrawls. Friday, July 29, 2005. Communication: Physical and beyond. I'm sitting in front of my PC now - talking with my mother on the couch behind me. Chatting with my friend 300 kilometres away through the internet. Looking at my sister's face from halfway around the world. I feel a closeness as if we were all at the same place. How is this possible? Man's hunger for socializing and some people who chose to do something to sate the hunger. What would life be like if all this didn't exist?

The Dead Sea Scrawls: May 2005
http://ijalabs.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html
The Dead Sea Scrawls. Wednesday, May 25, 2005. Baby talk. Or is it? What is it with toddlers these days? The maturity and learning rate of today's babies is simply mind-boggling. A movie called Look Who's Talking (one of my favourites) which tries to look at this world from a baby's point of view. There may be more to that movie than just a good laugh. You maybe hearing voices from your womb before you know it. Parents today try to prepare their kids in advance. But is their any limit to this advancement?

The Dead Sea Scrawls: December 2007
http://ijalabs.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
The Dead Sea Scrawls. Friday, December 21, 2007. What's in a name? All the senior 'Sanskrit people' (Sastrigal's who unwittingly make eye-contact with me) I asked started enthusiastically - "'Bala' means 'young'" (I had figured out as much from my incredibly inadequate Sanskrit education in school). And then, the awkward pause again. The conclusion they finally arrived at was that "Ji" is the usual suffix meant to signify respect (similar to 'Mr.'). 'Mr. Young'? It Do you have to rub it in?

Thank you. As I recover from the flashback with no item songs :(, I find that I have done no cleaning at all, with my sis sifting through the pile.

The Dead Sea Scrawls. Friday, May 13, 2005. The fall before the fall (Grad School - Part 2). Wooly finished his apps about two months before me and was living his life while I was running from shop to shop searching for the cheapest print cursing all those schools who colored their forms in pschyedelic hues. The college chose to conduct its exams at this precise moment (of course, what's more important than my application? Safe: Schools you think you are too good for. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
