Ok – let’s get straight to the point.
What the (insert obscenity of choice here) is the point of “record” books?
If you are studying MBBS, especially in India – you’ll know the custom I speak of. I can only hope that it’s a quirk of the educational system that’s indigenous to this wonderful nation – because if it’s not my faith in humanity’s ability to evolve will be reduced to dust. Well, not quite, but you know.
I have tried to search for a reason – and all I could come up with was that perhaps they – whoever those *%#^# were - believed in the whole “neatness, organization and learning by repetition thing.”
Yes, They, that makes total sense. Men and women who are 2 years away from holding people’s lives in their hands really need to write information in a blank book – that is already present in another book in order to get anything through their thick skulls. It’s completely logical, really. After all, what are we but the descendents of apes – our cognitive process really couldn’t deal with something like say – LEARNING!
And so, sadly, after many hours of intense contemplation, I must conclude that record books, like most other things in this world, really have no logical basis. They exist simply to make the time you spend on this planet feel a little more useless.
But what do I care – after all, don’t I believe in the benign indifference of the world?
Still….Grrr…..Waiting.

Ruminations
Its the 10th of October 2008 and this blog has been around for some time now.
I've been reflecting intensely on things for one year and seven months - and that, really hasn't changed my life too much. Perhaps its time to change tactics. The answer isn't really in asking the questions - which I've really become quite good at over the past 2 and a half years - and not even in looking for or finding the answers - but letting life answer its own questions. If that sounds like a vague, philosophical excuse for actually participating in life - thats exactly what its not. I suppose I actually have to start engaging - experiment to find the answer to the hypothesis and all that.
Maybe this blog needs a purpose now - its just been floating about in cyberspace, all alone. I think it needs to be rooted now.
Something will present itself, I am sure.
