I cant stop being bothered by the ads on the TV mobile(singapore buses have tv on them, which are a constant bother and destroy my peace) about the upcoming “Sex and the City Movie, now from the tv screen to the silver screen.” I vaguely noticed a very very old Kim Catrall (granma catrall ..she is 52) eating a nacho like thing looking at a man in the 30s taking a very public shower. Then there is Sarah Jessica Parker asking for a huge closet for her marriage which I think is completely useless because she looks like the scarecrow from the wizard of oz or batman.
While millions of over pampered, insecure women will run to the movie theaters clutching their imitation Louis Vuitton purses with suffering boyfriends who have to be like one of the guys with lot of money and working at wallstreet, some things are pretty clear. Carrie Bradshaw in spite of having all the sex in the Big Apple is always stressed because she lives way beyond her means. I mean common , a woman writing a silly willy article in the corner of a newspaper page cannot afford so many pairs of shoes(yes i might have watched a few episodes out of curiousity). And Kim katrall who is 52 should really be worried about osteoporesis than her increasing sex drive and cradle snatching.
Anyway by the unfortunate turn of events, there is a possibility I have to accompany one of my female “friends” to watch sex and the city on the big scree. I sometimes feel like the little bald gay guy who is friends with carrie bradshaw. Its not really “Sex and the City” its just a female version of rocky balboa where very very old women trying to distract people with flashy clothes try to get the last one shot at glory before starting to receive their social security check. Its just a post menopausal clearance sale. Only reason they wear the revealing clothes is to deal with the hot flushes.
Since I was a kid, I have been a big complainer. I am bit fussy over everything and am very hard to satisfy(non sexual reference). But I maybe one of the few people I know who believe sincerely that if you are not satisfied with what you have it will drive you and motivate you to want more and more.
Being happy is the worst thing that can happen to you. Can you imagine those mornings when you were truly happy, you don’t care about anything. You take in your breakfast slowly,read the newspaper and slowly go to work. Chances are you will be fired within few months if you enjoy your life so much. Also remember the time you had a girlfriend and you were really happy. You did not care if you lost your job or lost your friends all because u were really satisfied. In every direction you looked , you only saw her face. That illusion did not last for long and when you hit the ground really hard , you realized you had even lost the quality of motivation.
I believe being hungry, dissatisfied and having your back against the wall would be the best thing that can happen to you, because if will uncover the sheer willpower you have to break free from the rut. Many people instead of trying to break free from the prison of misery they are in permanently try for a temporary solution with tiny things which might cause them temporary pleasures. Also this illusion does not last forever and you end up at the place you started from, this time even more de motivated because you have the illusion of trying different things(tiny pleasure solution) and failing to achieve the happily ever after.
In conclusion, the best thing is to look facts straight in the face, and see how miserable your life is and how you want to change it. This is the only way which can get you out of the job, relationship or any other situation which you hate so much.

Exams are stressful. No I don’t mean that get up at 5 o clock drink 10 espresso and laborious preparation, but I also mean the psychological impact which comes along with it. Some exams come with tons at stake along with it and thinking that you have done badly means it can be career changing for you. My quantum information exam did not go as well as planned in spite of putting atleast 7 or 8, 12 hr days behind it which is horribly disappointing. To understand the monstrosity of the exam , part of one question required us to find the eigenvalues of 4 X 4 matrix on spot (people who know what eigenvalues are would know how terrible and impossible this is.) My other exam which is “Nano structure” went really well and I think I got everything right. Exams over and really emotionally battered I have to continue my Atom chip experiment.
Going back to a previous blog of mine, I had made a fleeting reference to a young girl in my French class who I enjoy a conversation with. The young girl who is actually got a name, Julie , was offended on reading my blog about calling her a young girl because apparently calling someone young means calling them stupid. Anyway I am grateful to Julie to make my post exam time very delightful providing an intelligent conversation and movie partner. I have gone with her for “Iron man” which turned out to be superb and then for frozen margaritas afterwards. I happened to go for “Other Boyeln girl” with her today only to run out of the theater with her because the movie was terribly suffocating. She seems to have this terrible impression that Im a mean man and she gets quite a kick from that. Anyway hoping to see more of her in the future before she leaves for cambridge.
