Shisha Cafe

Had been to a place called Shisha Cafe in ABC farms. Great ambiance with great
food and pretty good taste of music as well. And if you want a 'hukka', you
get to sit on a very comfortable diwan. One of us wanted the hukka, so we had
dinner on the diwan, and I settled into a nice cozy corner. This phenomenon
happens frequently with me and has been described before as 'The Settling of
Aditya' by some friends.
I had a shot at the hukka ... but I didn't see what was so great about it. I
sucked on a pipe, something went in through the mouth (though I didn't
realise it) and I blew out smoke through the nose (that I realised). So in
effect, you suck on something and smoke comes out of your nose - those are
the only sensations you are aware of. If that sounds very exciting, hukka is
for you. Just be sure that you dont try one in any village. Authentic hukkas
have tobacco. The one I tried was just flavoured (?) smoke.
Other than the hukka, the food was really good. I had a lazzagna (though it
was difficult to be very sure coz of the dim light) which was very good. One
the whole, worth a visit. Mind you, its a bit heavy on the pocket.

An 'eye opener' Let's say that you are teaching a class. Let's say that you are teaching Unix. You have drawn a neat sketch of the inode-wise layout of the disk and you are explaining the concept of the hierarchical filesystem and directories and inodes and hard and soft links with the help of your neat diagram. Suddenly you discover that one of the students is not getting the whole picture ... because he can't see ... *because he is blind*. At that moment I didn't really feel the impact because I was too engrossed in the subject, too engrossed in teaching. But the whole thing really hit me hard on the bus ride home. A thousand questions were raised, not many answered. First, about teaching - in such a situation, do you teach for the lowest denominator or the higher one. Doing anything is going to unfair to the other category. But in this case, the whole problem is magnified to a huge extent. I obviously cannot rely so much on gr...

Dumb and dumber

I think I gave myself the proof that my dumbness is unparalleled. There are two independent queues in our canteen for getting food coupons. After waiting in the first queue, for some reason, I decided to spend another fifteen minutes in the second one. I realised my stupid mistake when I reached the counter and the lady asked me what I wanted. I said 'nothing' and proceeded to the food counter, leaving the lady wondering what the hell had just happened. It going to be difficult to beat this act of stupidity!
