At times you get these weird dreams that are so unreal that you actually end up remembering them after you are awake. At least the skeleton of the plot.
I watched Shutter Island yesterday night. Brilliant movie, totally recommended. Read the wanderlust’s review of the film here.

I have a habit of downloading a copy of interesting e-books that are freely available on the internet so that I can browse through my collection whenever I am bored and I don’t have a working internet connection.

Institutes such as the Institute of Mathematical Sciences Chennai, and now apparently even the Chennai Mathematical Institute shortlist candidates for their MSc and PhD programs based on scores of this test. I wrote the Theoretical Computer Science paper.

So, I finally have all things at one place. My website, my Blog and all my blog posts. I must thank Sathya for the inspiration to undertake this fun task.
So, how does just about anybody go about buying some domain space, getting a shiny new domain name, then creating wordpress blog and finally migrating stuff [...]

I am in the process of applying to universities, like I mentioned in one of my earlier posts.
Thus, earlier this week, it suddenly struck me that I didn’t have a Resume. So far I have had to prepare a Resume only once, and that was when I interviewed for the IBM Extreme Blue Internship. And [...]

ego@sofia:~$ vim ~/.vimrc
Error detected while processing /home/ego/.vimrc:
