The solitude of prime numbers

Just heard about this book written in Italian last year and which has already been translated in English. The context was this very cool analogy that it draws between prime numbers and individuals, which I put here in my own words, since I don't know the original words right now...

[Prime numbers are these stubborn creatures that are only divisible by 1 and themselves. They get lonelier and lonelier as they move ahead (reference is to arbitrary gaps between primes as their size increases). Even though they get lonely and far apart from the rest of their family, they always eventually find a companion who stays close to them (reference is to the twin prime conjecture).
The tragedy, however, does not end there. Even though these companions are very close to each other, there is this evil force between them that tries its best to keep them apart. (this, of course, refers to the even number between the twin primes)]

...and the absolute lover of analogies that I am, this already attracts me towards this book and I think I should get hold of it soon..

Roland Garros and Wimbledon

The news of the day is that Roger Federer has twin daughters. What would they be called? Any guesses? How about calling them Roland Garros and Wimbledon :P.. after all if Lallu Prasaad Yadav can name his daughter Kursi since she was born in the year he won the elections, why can't Federer? :D

Anyway, congratulations to him :)

How much more wishful can thinking get :)

Someone told me once that "Happiness" often sneaks in through a window you didn't know you had left open. And then I looked all around the house to find that open window. I was about to give up when I suddenly caught sight of an open window. All excited, I rushed towards it and in that excitement, I slapped the window and bang it went. Shut! I tried hard to open it but the magic window that it was, it would not open once it has been shut.

I wish there is another window left open somewhere. No, I am not looking for it any more.

Longing to go
Memories to stay

Hope to go
Love to stay

but,


I am listening to this song right now :D

It is a funny thing about life that..

.. as you reap, so shall you sow.. and most of the times it is even unintentional.

Somehow life manages to make you do things you would have hated at a certain point of time..

Bommarillu

just finished watching this (Telugu) movie (with subtitles of course).. won't write a review here but just want to recommend it to those who like romantics... loved this movie, absolutely... and the female lead character, Hasini is a pleasure to watch... the kind of people i want to see more and more of (remember.. ek aisa jahaan hum banaayein :))!

and yes, I rarely watch non-hindi movies and have hardly watched about 20 or so of them with attention till the end ...
