Coefficient of Linear Expansion = 5

I’m bored, as you might have figured out from the title of this post. But don’t worry, this is not a post about Physics. I’m the last person on earth who you would find doing a post about physics. Vasudha P, however, has made a couple of interesting physics/math related posts lately. It’s Vasudha P mind you, not Vasudha W. Vasudha W once told me that her name was fairly uncommon. In the last couple of months, I’ve found 3 Vasudha’s including her. But I still haven’t come across any other people with my name after the one who became the Voice of India. Hence, my name is uncommoner(!). Therefore, I win. End of discussion.

I’ve seen 3 movies since yesterday. One being Jannat, which I thought was okay. And that is great considering it has the only guy who resembles an ape more than Rafael Nadal does. Yes, we’re talking about Emraan Kisshme..err I mean Hashmi. The second movie was Hindustani. It’s one of my favorite Kamala Hassan movies and though it tends to get stupid to the core at places, the acting is good. The third movie that I saw was Bhoothnath. Even that wasn’t bad. I liked the kid – Banku. But seriously, who names their kid Banku? Having said that, Banku is still better than Shiney Ahuja, Bright Kumar or Jung Fateh. It sucks that I don’t have a television in my room. Another thing that sucks is that my mother is just too smart. I wanted to watch television and she wanted to chuck me out. Here’s what happened:-

Mom: Chal, movie khatam. Ab jaa, light aur darwaaza band karne de. Subah kaam pe jaana hai.
Me: Nahi, mereko TV dekhna hai yaar.
Mom: Ae, jaa na. Subah se do picture dekh chuka hai. Pak gayi teri shakal dekh dekh ke. Ab ja.
Me: Huhuhahaha, main Bhoothnath hoon! Huhahahaha.
Mom: Ho gaya? Ab ja.
Me: Yaar aap so jao, light aur darwaaza band kar lo. Main bhoothnath hun, keyhole se nikal jaunga TV dekh ke.
Mom: Ek kaam kar. Tu bahar ja, main darwaaza band karti hun. Fir keyhole se andar aa jaana.
Me: Shaane kahin ke. Bleh. Good night.
Mom: Heh, goodnight.

So, now that that’s done with, aren’t you wondering why is this post titled so? Nope, don’t even think about going Robert Langdon on this one. It’s no code or mystery. Me, the meme king is gonna do two meme’s in this post. One being the Expansionist meme and the other being the 5 things meme. Hence, I joined them as Coeffecient of Linear EXPANSION = 5. Gedit? I’m clever na? I know. And if you really wanna know why I’m so good, you totally have to read this post by Nidhi. No seriously, do it. Opening another tab isn’t gonna make you lose any money. And now that we are opening tabs here, you might wanna wish Ashish a happy birthday, Reema a belated happy birthday and Krits a belated belated happy birthday.

And now, the meme’s! Come on, show me some enthusiasm, gimme the benefit of doubt at least. Ah, who am I kidding? I’m not in form and most of my previous posts have been depressing. But considering that most people are bored to death, I’m hoping you’ll read them. The next post will not be a meme. Honest! Pakka promise. Jhooth bole kauwa kaate, gadar waala kauwa. Ud jaa kaale kaanwa tere muh wich khand paawan? Remember him? Yep, woh waala kauwa.

Meme#1: The Expansionist Meme. Quite a few people tagged me to do this one and I’m not mentioning the names lest I forget someone. Here goes:-

Please thoughtfully consider the following, and choose one item for each of the categories below. (Be sure to describe your reasons for choosing)

One religious work from a non-familiar tradition you’ll read:
I’d like to read about Buddhism because it interests me. I want to read why Ashoka got into it. And the statues and temples you find in hill stations are fascinating. I would like to know more about them.

One music video–that you like–from your “least likely to listen to’ genre:
Twisted Transistor by Korn. I absolutely hate Korn and his songs. But this video wasn’t bad. But it still didn’t deserve to win over the video of Wake Me Up When September Ends. No, never.

A book from a genre you almost never read, that you have read, or you will read (promise!):
Uhh, I promise I’ll read my course books when college starts! :P

Somewhere you’d never thought to go on holiday/vacation, and why it might be fun to go there?
McLeodganj. I thought that would be a sleepy, boring place but it actually turned out to be fun. I will never forget the Tibetan food that I had there. It was horrible. I wonder why people believe in eating boiled vegetables in water. :/

A specific food you’ve never tried, but will because of this meme, honest!:
Err..come on. This is evil. I bet my parents made this meme so they could force me into eating onions, tomatoes, bhindi, karela and all that sada gala stuff. I will try bhindi once. And if I don’t like it, I’ll curse this meme. :/

A style of dance you probably won’t try (we won’t make you promise on this one)::
Erm, any of the traditional dances. I’m sure I’ll suck at them.

A career job you don’t feel you’re suited for, and why:
Accountant/Bank Job because I’ll ruin the bank single handedly with my mathematical skills. 2+2=222. Chak De!

An item that’s “thinking out of the box’ for this meme that hadn’t been included:
Erm, you could’ve asked which person you thought you’d never like but ended up liking and why.

If’s there’s one thing in life you wanted to do, and will do because of this meme, what will it be?
I have no clue. I mean, there’s nothing in life that I wanna do. Lame, I know, but that’s me.

Meme#2: Ze 5 Zings About Me Tag. As far as I remember, Bharat, Nik and NightWriter tagged me to do this.
