Rediscovering the 'ZERO'!!

hmmm....testing my GK, I think it was our very own Mr.Ramanujam,who had the honor of inventing the ‘ZERO’. And soo many years after that groundbreaking conception of the oval, am rediscovering it..N ya sometimes sucking at it and at others, loving it..

For instance, now with diwali in clear view, I thought lets go and give ma Dads money a run for it..well, the malls were way ahead of me..they had already drawn the game plan for giving everyone a run for their money. Every item had a tag with so many trailing ‘ZEROES’ that even ‘I’ couldn’t indulge myself. That’s one very obvious place where I had rediscovered the huge oval!!

Going chronologically backwards, then there was this time when we had examz…everything was ‘THE’ rediscovery where the mighty were concerned..The syllabus had our brain jumbled up with nothing but them. And then the preparation itself had us envisaging our marks as the huge old dreaded ovals and eggs. And when they did arrive they were just a bit more than our dear old friend.

And speaking of eggs ,every poached egg and an omelet(sunny side up, yummy!!) had me thinking of ‘ZEROES’ again. Don’t ask me why. Every Gulab-jamun, pani puri, rasgulla(yup, yummy again) had me thinking of….guess what..

Maybe cause every time I give in to these temptations in disguise, my calorie count is again packed with the trailing ‘ZEROES’!!

And when an utterly jobless hour stretches leisurely in front me, I pick up my remote and turn on the IDIOT BOX. And there goes again!!Totally deranged creatures(no offence meant folks!!)sashaying around, covered in suave and elegant scraps of clothes, scraps nonetheless, and flaunting their size 'ZERO'.

And being a comps engg(to be!!), looking at my lappy daily and knowing that its native language is again full of ‘ZEROES’ triggers the journey of my blissful rediscovery..Every electronics device reminds me of its digital lingo which is again full of my ol friend, this time, turning them ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’!!

Randomly speaking, everything in this world, at the break of the eternal dawn, comes down to ‘ZERO’. The universe started from a ‘ZERO’ and as they say in bible, will end on Armageddon, yet again at ‘ZERO’. Kalyug is up for a run these decades, and when its number is up, again back to my favorite ‘ZERO’. WTC fell, the rubble mass was ground ‘ZERO’!!

Zero Zero everywhere, not a spot to think and spare!!

And with all that binary programming last sem, I really miss my friend this time..;-)

And with MIT this sem dealing in hexadecimals, I guess its time to let go of ma rediscovery and practice safe hex…;-)

Lolzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!
