What sucks about being a man?

By -

You are in a real hurry for whatever reason. But you also gotta pee. You walk towards the place. And in a hurry, you're taking the thing out & something down there hurts. Sucks like nothing else.

Got it? No...

Sometimes, some live pubic hair ( a bit longer ones) get trapped under your foreskin (somehow) & they rest there in the contracted state of the system. Now, you're taking the system out in haste. And these thin threads of keratin ( hair) rub against your softness. It should hurt…. & It does. You realize this within milliseconds and then slide the entire foreskin backward & liberate the poor guys. Only now can you release the chemicals. And all this jaddojahad takes 2 seconds extra…which you definitely don't like.

One more thing that sucks about being born like this is you need to adjust the thing in different orientations at different instants of time, especially when u sit in one posture for long hrs. At any time, it can say, “Let me rest on the left. No no… I wanna stand vertically now. Slid me down…. Can't u see it's getting disturbing?”

You, in unawareness, simply do whatever he asks for… so that you can focus on your work… And just then, u find someone staring at you like, “ It's class. You here too ?”

Huffff!

PhD Interview @ IISc: questions asked

By -
Image
My friends & I jotted down the questions that we were asked during the 2 rounds of our interview for PhD neuroscience at IISc. I also posted a video on YouTube ( scroll down) but that doesn't mention all the questions. Some good places to stay nearby: NestInn, Isnas residency and Akshara regency: all are within 1 km radius from D Gate of IISc.  Here u go: The horizontal lines separate the write-up by 4 of us: ________________ Some basic mathematics will be useful, I think  Even candidates with no maths background are usually asked to plot simple graphs like y=x, y=x+7, y=x^2, etc  And a few questions on probability & statistics  Learn some of this stuff from YouTube, I suggest.  They asked me mostly physics questions since I come from MSc physics background: Round 1: Gave me a matrix. What you say about the eigenvalues of this matrix without solving it? Can these eigenvalues be complex?  What's radioactive decay? Can we predict the no. o...

A guide to DST INSPIRE PhD fellowship

By -
Image
Target audience: tentative DST INSPIRE fellows and aspirants of the same. I also made 2 videos on the topic: All about DST INSPIRE PhD fellowship Vinod's guide to DST INSPIRE PhD fellowship I am a 2nd year PhD scholar at the Centre for Neuroscience, IISc, Bengaluru.  I was an INSPIRE SHE scholar during my BSc at DU (2016-19) and MSc in Physics at IIT-G (2019-21). I was not an institute topper  but an inspire-SHE scholar with 60%+ in MSc. Hence, I could apply.  After my MSc, I had a gap of 2 years before I joined PhD.  You have to make a separate account on the INSPIRE portal for fellowship. Like, use a different email address than SHE one. If you are university gold medalist in MSc/MS, the procedure remains the same.  For people who apply for INSPIRE fellowship after getting enrolled in PhD, the procedure is slightly different. Their application directly jumps to level 2 evaluation, I assume. My Timeline:_________________ 2016-2021: INSPIRE SHE Scholar for 5 ye...

PID, Sexually Transmitted Infections & My recent Sirsa visit

By -
Image
 This one is important. Lemme pen it down before life goes busy again.  (Names changed in the narration for obvious reasons.) Today, I accompanied my mausa ji (my sister's sasur) for his visit to XYZ Heart Hospital, Sirsa. He has been suffering from pain-in-chest issues. Today, his angiography (an X-ray after injecting a special dye into the blood vessels) was supposed to happen. Turned out they were going by a relative's car, and I joined them at Malsisar. The relative (our driver), Badri Nath, was to visit UVW Hospital for the diagnosis of her wife, Manju, who had been suffering from continuous rounds of fever for the last 20 days. On the way, I went through past diagnoses and reports of my mausa ji. The Jaipur report said, " sinus bradycardia" . Roughly "slow heartbeat". I couldn't go deeper. I had no time to bother about Manju's reports. We reached and parted our ways. Dr. X first made Mausaji undergo a blood test to ensure he was fit for angiog...

The 'pee pressure' in Salasar Darbar

By -
Image
          The bus (Salasar Darbar, I couldn't find its picture) departed from Taranagar, the city where I pursued my Senior Secondary. I had just emptied my bladder, so I wasn't expecting any urine problems until the next city, Sardarshahar.          (I forgot to mention. I was going to Pokhran, Jaisalmer, where my sister is posted as a primary teacher in a nearby rural school. Her flatmate had gone home. My bhanja is just 2 yrs old.)         But I was wrong. Within minutes, I could feel the pressure again building up in my bladder. "I just peed. It's beyond comprehension!" I laughed. My rational mind had already projected, "You can't make it to Sardarshahar, boy. It is at least an hour away. Better to ask the guy to stop the bus for you at the next village or so and release it." Another bunch of neurons jumped in, "Come on, Vinoda, don't fall for such nonsense. You just peed 5 minutes ...

Sex Differences in Human Mating

By -
Image
(Pasting my response to a question I got on a WhatsApp group: Why do many IIScian men chase women and once the woman is into them they are like " meh! I am not into u anymore"? It's so disheartening and emotionally so heavy on us women.) Although nothing justifies this behaviour, I think there's some explanation from evol-psycho as to why it's mostly men doing this, not women. And it's important to understand this -- just like it's important to understand criminal psychology.   Disclaimer: I am not a mate psychology expert. I just happen to be deeply interested in sex differences in humans. The interest developed with a desire to understand the typical behaviors of my sisters and women in general.  ( Maiden Mother Matriarch podcast: Diana Fleischman & Louise Perry on 'Uncanny Vulvas' (sex robots) and Sex Differences in our evolved psychology ) Just to remind u, our evolved psychology, at times, works in unconscious ways. U don’t ge...

Conversation waves in Delhi

By -
Image
Before leaving Delhi from ISBT now, in the last 40 hours, I have slipped into several long-term free-flowing conversations with primarily 2 friends of mine - one of my ex-roomies and a newly happened JNUite friend. One went about 3-4 hrs long. Fairly existential stuff.. crossing boundaries of disciplines with absolute flexibility. Almost unbelievable!  AS and I started with the conditions back home, how the career-playing-field has changed for us, getting married, etc., but soon slipped into Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), weed, psychedelics in general, our association with ISKCON and inevitably discussed Open Eyed Meditation and the so-called Mindfulness. The illusion  of free will again became a crucial friction point between us.  I admit I pushed it on AS way harder than optimal. I generally do that with Physics people since they are better positioned to address this question head-on. Kharbanda, if she is reading this, can relate to this, "Umm.. yeah...

What is a waste of time ?

• Listening to 'motivational speakers' for 'motivation' is a waste of time. • Watching Bollywood movies to know what's true love, is a waste of time. • Reading Swara Bhaskar's tweets is a total waste of time. • Searching for jio network at random places to get those few msgs is a waste of time. • Arguing with a fanatic, telling 'yoga is not about religion' , is a waste of time. • Watching Salman's movies to get some new perspective of life is a total waste of time. • Listening to Rahul Gandhi's opinions on certain things is a waste of time. • Uploading a meme/joke & waiting for reactions throughout the day is a total waste of time. • Reading Amar Gupta / Deepa in pursuit to learn Physics is a waste of time. • Waiting for a relatively cool day in Churu is a waste of time. • Reading Schrödinger's biography to get some moralities is a total waste of time. • Looking for 'IISc’s new discovery on superconductivity a...

Radha kaise na jale? Evolutuon of jealousy in romantic relathionships

By -
Image
 Aag tan-man mein lage, Radha kaise na jale? This aag is an evolved psychological trait, say evolutionary psychologists. Does that mean jealousy in the context of romantic relationships is just evolutionary conditioning, often playing in unconscious ways you can't do much about?  Does that also mean over evolutionary history, a greater and greater proportion of the human population started feeling jealous of their partner(s) intimately interacting with others from the opposite sex (let's keep homosexuality aside for now)? Under what selection pressures do you think the trait of jealousy would result in greater reproductive success?                                                         (Scene: Lagaan, Bollywood - 2001) It might have gone something like this:  (good chances that I'll make scientifically incorrect statements here)...

On wasting time

By -
Image
I am yet to find an optimal way of estimating how much one should regret on the time he 'wastes' a day.  You don't waste much time on daily basis? Sachchi? Like snacking on social media, YouTube for 2 minutes (of course it gets elongated to half an hour) or arguing with your taau on how dumb & superstitious most people around you often are...or  thinking about how beautiful you looked in that pic 4 yrs ago...or re-reading that insignificant wtsp chat with a stranger that has 0.0001 probability of encountering you again in future.. Or reading this nonsense on my blog? Is it a 'total waste'? No, it's the process from which the new ideas, imaginations, plans & dreams emerge. From this random purposeless 'snacking'. But as far as your near future-goal/ plan / determination is concerned it's almost a total waste.  I am in 02550, hoping to reach Kamakhya within 5 hrs, to complete my last 3.5 months of master of physics at IITG.  New Jal...

SG quotes

By -
Hundreds and thousands of living beings meet death at every moment, yet the foolish man thinks himself deathless and does not prepare for death. This is the biggest wonder of life. (-Death: An Inside Story) The fear is simply because you are not living with life, You are living in your mind. (- Mystic's Musings) You have come here to avoid life or to experience it? - Death : An inside story The most beautiful moments in life are moments when you are expressing your joy, not when you are seeking it. Sex in the body is fine. Money in the wallet is fine. It is only a problem when they enter your mind. If your body goes in search of a relationship, we call this sexuality. If your mind goes in search of relationships, we call this companionship. If your emotion goes in search of relationships, we call this love. If your energies go in search of relationship, we call this yoga. (-Life and Death in One Breath ) If you think hundred percent logically, there is really no possibility of li...
