To me both Religion and belief go hand in hand. You might differ and have something else in mind but this blog isn't for you. This blog is for me.
Many a times I have been questioned by my friends about why I do not eat jootha. My answer, though simple, is too difficult to digest for some people. I just say that it is my belief, that by eating the jootha of another person I will inherit his/her thoughts and thought processes. I being completely satisfied with my own thoughts and thought processes would not like to bear another person's burden.
That this belief comes from my religious following, is irrelevant as I have embraced my religion and will follow its every belief to the point I can. The point never is to be perfect, but to try as hard as you can.
For that matter I believe that God listens to my prayers and has often blessed me with things I might not deserve and that whatever happens is God's will and I have to accept it. Now some people will tell me this is bullshit and I will say "That is your belief". Ultimately even that person is following his beliefs.
I know just one thing, if I have to believe in something, I will believe in God and that every action of his is meant for my good. If nothing it gives me support when I need it, when no one else comes to me. It will always be there to rely upon and it will never abandon me.
I choose to see signs of his blessings in everything around me, that helps me fortify my belief. Now people might call that positive thinking, that again is their belief as I know nothing of positive or negative thinking.
I have a thinking of my own, beliefs of my own and I am happy with them.
My only advice to you guys, go find your own beliefs and have something that will give you hope when you need it, will give you support when you are falling and will give you something to live for. Go find it!!

Theory of Happytivity : Harpreet Singh aka Happy
Preface: (Plz try and read) Before I embark on this lengthy post, my serious apologies to my commerce friends who might not be able to understand this extensively but I hope I would be able to get my message across. This post is meant to tackle an issue bigger than all of us, an issue that I have noticed over the years and an issue I would like to rid human kind of.
Nobody is perfect and neither am I. All my claims are open to challenge, if you dont like them say so.
Special mention of Amir Kumar, who , over the past one and a half years has helped me improve my understanding and use of this subject. If someone is to be my Guru in this field it would be Amir Kumar. He really deserves a Nobel Peace Prize (atleast more than Obama). Now this is my theory which I hope will get me my Nobel Prize for Happyness (should the committee decide to give one).
The Theory
A perfect example to quote here would be the Muqaddar ka Sikandar. Muqaddar ka Sikandar is defined as the person who, during his lifetime, is able to gather a net positive happy energy so that at the time he dies, he has a quantum of happyness left to smile. This is the ultimate goal of a person following this theory and this is the best death he can get.
Properties of Happy Particles
Comparison with Nuclear Physics - Even though there are many similarities in the two theories there are some stark differences in the two. Let us consider the process of fission and fusion to illustrate the properties of Happy Particles.
The balance between happy and anti-happy particles is essential for life. Anti-happy particles are necessary to remind people of the presence of happy particles. It is something like the relationship between Batman and Joker. One is present because of the other, but what would happen if the Batman and the Joker were to work together? I feel that Gotham city will be the safest place on earth.
Moksha - The Happy One
The state of Moksha in this theory would be the ability to create happy particles even in the presence of anti-happy particles and to achieve a state of harmony between the two.
This theory is developing and I would like to welcome any suggestions/additions to the theory.

Now this is my theory which I hope will get me my Nobel Prize for Happyness (should the committee decide to give one).
The Theory
Dual Nature: Under normal circumstances, happy particles behave like waves, sometimes they have a higher energy and then they have a low energy. The practical experiment to confirm this nature would be the observation of a normal human being who, during the course of his life goes through this wave like nature of happy particles.
The particle nature of the happy particles relates to external disturbances in the normal course of happy particles. When bombarded with other high energy or low energy happy particles there occurs a quantum shift in the energy of the original happy particle. The practical experiment to confirm this nature of happy particles would be to observe some reality comedy shows. What happens during a comedy show is that the people on the show bombard other people with high energy happy particles, which leads to everybody having a quantum shift in their happy particle energy and everybody actually feels the extra boost of Happyness. The other experiment is of the Saas bahu sagas where the people on the show bombard other people with ultra low energy happy particles which drain all Happy energy and leave just the anti-Happy particles around.A perfect example to quote here would be the Muqaddar ka Sikandar. Muqaddar ka Sikandar is defined as the person who, during his lifetime, is able to gather a net positive happy energy so that at the time he dies, he has a quantum of happyness left to smile. This is the ultimate goal of a person following this theory and this is the best death he can get.
Properties of Happy Particles
Comparison with Nuclear Physics - Even though there are many similarities in the two theories there are some stark differences in the two. Let us consider the process of fission and fusion to illustrate the properties of Happy Particles.
- Fission - The first and the most basic difference is in the kind of particles and energy released during nuclear fission and the fission of Happy particles. Nuclear fission produces harmful byproducts and the energy released by it leads to massive destruction if uncontrolled (causes various types of cancers), whereas fission of Happy particles produces Happy particles and lots of Happy energy, both of which are not harmful and can even cure diseases like cancer (Happy particles induce laughter and laughter is the best medicine). Both kind of fission require a stimulus to initiate the reaction and both are chain reactions which if not controlled lead to the new particles being created in exponentially increasing numbers.
- Fusion - Fusion of two happy particles is very different from nuclear fusion. Two happy particles attract each other, hence making fusion of happy particles much easier than nuclear fusion.
The balance between happy and anti-happy particles is essential for life. Anti-happy particles are necessary to remind people of the presence of happy particles. It is something like the relationship between Batman and Joker. One is present because of the other, but what would happen if the Batman and the Joker were to work together?

Puri ka LEGENDARY BTP
Professor SD Joshi. Very senior prof of our dept.
Prof Shantanu Agarwal. Very Senior+interested in "interrogating" students like puri.
Prof Hanmandlu Puri's BTP guide
Scene 1 : (Starter)
Puri is explaining a slide with many different sinusoidal graphs (dont know what he was explaining as i knew it was trash)
Prof SD Joshi : Why are there so many graphs on this slide.
Puri : doesnt have a clue except the first 2 graphs, starts speaking trash.
Joshi : u dont know what u are speaking
puri : again trash talking
Joshi (he knows puri doesnt know anything) : between the 1st and 5th graphs tell me which one has a higher frequency.
Puri : Says the wrong one first and everyone starts laughing and then he says the correct one.
Joshi after having confirmed Puri doesnt know anything leaves this here.
Break for laughing
Scene 2 : (Main Course)
Puri is at the crux of his BTP presentation, explainging the Principal Component Analysis and again SD Joshi is confused.
After puri is done explaining how he uses the PCA for his problem, Joshi asks his question, yet again.
Joshi : Why are you doing the PCA?
Puri : first I do this then i do this then this..... (this is the methodology he used)
Joshi : I am asking WHY did you do the PCA?
Puri : first I do this then i do this then this..... (this is the methodology he used)
Joshi : I dont think you understand the question. Why did you do the PCA? I am not asking how you used the PCA?
Puri : first I do this then i do this then this..... (this is the methodology he used)
Joshi : You dont know anything.
Puri : Sir, I am explaining. First I do this then i do this then this..... (this is the methodology he used)
Shantanu Chaudhary also becomes frustrated by now and asks puri to move on.
Break for laughing
Scene 3 : (Dessert -> Cake)
Puri quickly moves through the rest of the presentation and shows the References section and then shows the Thank You slide.
Shantanu Chaudhary notices something and asks him to go back one slide to the references slide.
Now everyone laughs after seeing the references. Why? It looked something like below -
[1]
[43]
[162]
[189]
For the benefit of those of you who didnt notice this yet, please look at the numbering.
Shantanu Chaudhary : Did you copy this from somewhere?
Puri : No Sir. I made this slide on my own.
Shantanu Chaudhary : I can see you copied this from somewhere.
Puri : No Sir. I made this slide on my own.
Shantanu Chaudhary : You copied this from somewhere.
Puri : No Sir. I made this slide on my own.
Hanmandlu : Accept that you have copied this from somewhere.
Puri (Making a pleading face, trying to convince he is speaking the truth) : No Sir. I made this slide on my own.
Shantanu gets frustrated again and asks him to go.
Break for laughing
Scene 4 : (Icing on the cake)
Puri returns to the hostel after all the presentations were done. I meet him at the staircase and ask why did he lie and why the numbering of the references were so?
Puri(making a very serious face, and i knew he will speak the truth now) : yaar mujhe laga ki every paper has a specific number assigned to it for use in the References section. I have checked in 2-3 papers and these papers had the same numbers.
After this I started laughing like hell and went to Prateek's room and fell on the bed laughing.
And now I come to know that he was thinking of applying for the Best BTP Award.

Games
Games are anything that you play or that you can control in some way.
To me, games are a way of life, especially computer games. Every now and then I see myself almost 50-60% of my day playing or talking about them. Yes, you may call me a gaming freak and I would not "mind it".
But this is not for what I am writing this blog, I am writing this blog because I myself realize sometimes that I do go out of my way to play. Like some kind of addiction. It is this that I want to bring out. Addiction to something is that you are not able to live without it(in a vague sense) and you need that thing to survive.
This is the same with me and computer games. I cannot simply live without them. I can hold myself back from playing games(btw this is what I am trying now), but I wonder for how long will I be able to do it. Isnt this an addiction??
I am not saying whether playing is good or bad. I personally believe that I owe my intelligence first to God and then to games. Playing games is definitely not a bad thing but when the games become an addiction, there is definitely some work to be done.
I know all this because I have experienced it but what I dont know is where to go from here???
This is a dead end for me. I cannot give up games for the rest of my life(its simply not possible) nor can I live with the guilt of having an addiction.
