We shoot the breeze, use big words, laugh on each other, on ourselves, and just try to stay upbeat. :) Basically that’s right.

You take "philosophize" in that larger meaning where it does not mean anything. I see. You take “philosophize” in that larger meaning where it does not mean anything.

We philosophise about all this when we're in our more sober moods. that's bachelor of Technology mostly - getting angry and miserable and contemplating the meaning of the word "electrical" and how it applies to your degree in your sober moods!

It is somebody who is in a bad mood and says so, though not very clearly. Philosophy deals with what has been said about happiness and its opposite, and with what can be learnt from what has been said. Personal moods and states of mind should all be sent over to the psychology department. They love that kind of thing there. But this is not philosophy.

For three weeks. That's WAY too long. I tried to spread the misery - kinda happy it didn't spread. :) I hope to get better soon. Thanks for being kind and considerate about this. DK - I dunno what tangent you're on man, but continue. I might learn something new this way, and i can cheat a little and claim that it happened in March '08 - not a complete loss (save for barbarians!) Adam - I don't classify anyone permanently - you all (i.e., people I like talking to) shape shifting so-and-sos <i>adapt</i> to situations! Why can't y'all be <i>normal</i> and accept the stereotypes that society fosters on you? o.O Hmm?? By "us" I mean the same - at least "I" try not to get taken in by the most forceful voice. I want to stay balanced so I become equally and oppositely forceful. Devil's advocate and what not. Sometimes I try, sometimes I don't. Sometimes I succeed, other times, I fry. Anupam - Glad to see you here. It makes it easier to focus on getting your words out, doesn't it? (Not that it's always a good thing, but you're far more likely to end up closer to something really good this way). No I'm no misanthrope. Nothing that simple. :P There's parts of my mind I don't fully explore because they don't have any explicitly specified algorithmic patterns which I can discern! When I know, I'll blog it. :D DK/Adam/Anupam – I was in a terrible despairing kinda mood. For three weeks. That’s WAY too long.

Without discrimination.

It appears, 4 years for a B. Tech. make one indulge in a lot more philosophy than a 3 year philosophy honors course. People, the earth, other life forms, civilizations, the planets, the sun, the moon, the stars - What, who, why? Which detective is on this case? P.s. - free advertisement and a positive review - THANKS !! Does that mean we should all take the aisle seat?
