Crazy bachelors

There are usually people around in my office during the night, some working hard and others who appear to be working hard. There are still others who come to office for PR purposes. I flip between 'appear to be working hard' and 'PR' categories.

Since Wednesday was Vinayaka Chaturthi and a holiday, there was hardly anyone in office on Tuesday night. Me and my roomie Nike were dead bored when we decided to go to mumbai for the heck of it. We took of from my bike at around 11:45 pm when the sensible lazy bone in our brain told us we were nuts! Instead lets go to this nice eatery near Pune station. Alright, we go towards it when we come close to a theater. Hey hey hang on..wats fun in eating food, we do that everyday screamed our 'gimme a break' brain-bone. Fine, so we pit stopped at the theater. There was this movie No Entry running and trusting wat my gym friends told me, we bought the tickets. After entering the theater we realized the blunder we made. It was a salman shirtless khan movie! Our wise-brain bone signaled danger in all directions. We were ready to hit the door when we heard the crowd laughing.

We sat on to watch the movie and man was it a roller coaster ride! I was suspended in mid air with fits of laughter right through the movie. Hey junta do not ever miss out No Entry!

Dark matter

Ever wondered if there was someone sitting next to you and you did not even know. We live in a three-dimensional world where every visual object is represented by an X, Y and Z coordinate. There have also been arguments on a fourth coordinate "time", based on which your other three coordinates can change.

Have you ever wondered why only three coordinates? Does the theory of an n dimensional universe hold water? We the humans are on the ever-growing lookout for aliens, organisms from other worlds. Are we looking in the right direction? What if we cannot sense them? They could be living right with us but on a different dimension. This has been beautifully explained in Michael Crichton's Sphere, one of my all time favorite books.


Recently, some astrophysicists have discovered up to 6 dimensions. They are basing this claim on the fact that there is some invisible dark matter that is having a gravitational affect on stars. 85% of the mass of the universe accounts for this dark matter. This invisible dark matter could be something visible on a different dimension. More on the article here.
