Schrodinger V/S Dharmendra

There is this friend of mine from Mumbai. I call him Dharmendra, cause he has a huge body... spends all the time in the gym and he starts every alternate sentence with " Ma kasam" or " Teri maa ki..."

I have often imagined old Dharamendra or Dharam for short getting up in the middle of our calculas class and shouting " Chup raho Sirr.. Nahi to ma kasam mein tujhe maar daloonga...!!"

Well.. something similar to that happened and I nearly died of laughing.

It all started with our Quantum Mechanics class. The professor started with the basics and moved over to the dangerous Scrodinger wave equation. It was obvious that we were not understanding anything.
The merciless professor then rudely plucked out an electron from a Helium atom ( in theory of course) and put it in a box. He then began applying the Scrodinger equation to the electron. The poor electron was soo terrified that it gave out soo many equations for its momentum and radiations...
The black board was filled with all kinds of equations and the electron was screaming bloody murder. It was a ghastly sight. If Medha Padkar was present in our class, she would have immediatly started an "Electron Bachao Andolan" and would have fasted till the electron was released and given back to the poor helium atom.

Two hours after the class, all of us were sitting in the canteen discussing what each of us understood over a cup of tea. When it was old Dharams turn to explain, all us looked at him expectingly...
He paused, took a long breath and said.

"Schrodingerrrr..... Teri ma ki aisi ki taisi !!!!"

To be honest, that actually summed up the whole 2 hours of Quantum Mechanics.

This is what I found at a website:

I don't like it and I'm sorry I ever had anything to do with it.
Erwin Schrodinger commenting on Schrodinger's equations

That confirms the "Paap ka Aulat" theory.

Who killed Superman

Christopher Reeve who flew to fame as the star in the "Superman" series passed away today.
The cause of death was determined as heart failure.

Highly placed sources in the intelligence community suspects this could have been due to a major shock recieved by Mr Reeve when he was browsing the internet.

The suspicion was confirmed when the FBI, CIA and CIDs from Tamilnadu scanned a list of articles that were uploaded to the internet just before this tragic incident. They concluded that a particular photo from a recently updated blog was the cause of major shock to the veteran actor. This blog was posted by one of the directors of a very successful Linux support and solutions company called Poornam Info Vision

Things were not looking good for the director Mr. Amarjyoti Krishnan when the White House came to know about this. However it was the CIDs from Tamil Nadu with their ingenius dummy tests who proved that Mr Amar was innocent and it is the model in the picture who is really guilty.

There and Back Again

After 2 weeks in college, I finally got to go home during the last weekend.
I was thrilled to finally sit down and watch TV in my house, although I dont think my parents shared my enthusiasm. It was only on Sunday that my folks looked really happy when I was leaving for college.

Anyways... I am back to my old life here.
