What if "Maggus" don't have a choice ?

There are two possible reasons for stopping by this post; you happened to be among those hard-working study-serious college-goer who lament not being perceived as fun by his/her peers. Or you have a soft spot for these people, striving to pay off the debt from when he single-handedly completed your group project. There could be a hundred other reasons, so let's jump into the matter. Let's construct a scenario with simplified assumptions. Suppose there are 5 students in your project team. Each of you has decided whether you want to work or not. If you decide to work, you must put in an effort of value "e". The project will be possible if at least 3 of the students participate. A successful project rewards everyone in the team "r", which is greater in value than "e". So what do you think will happen. Let's assume that each of you is rational (which secretly implies you will maximise your personal gain whenever possible). Will all five contribute

Time-bound

The worst thing that can happen to you in an exam hall is the sudden realisation that you have forgotten to get your watch. And it is more than dreadful because you must force your already occupied little brain with another vital decision. You should get up from the seat and fetch that watch from your dorm. As you run through the daunting logistics of the process, you slowly give in to the laziness borrowed from the intense session of fast study and the sleepless previous night. That may be your biggest mistake. Even though you easily convince yourself that there are always other instruments that will keep a check on the time you have in hand, nothing indeed does so. You can only ask the invigilator once, owing to the public nuisance you could become. Although if you are "the extroverted" who does not care much about the issue, you realise that there is only a certain number of times you can ask someone time. If the odds are in your favour, the sweet person sitting beside you

Life Decisions

This post is  my ideology  on “Suicide” , a grave issue in colleges these days , and people who are sensitive to the issue …..  its not for you, Rat-Race  : In this capitalist world, we believe  anyone can achieve success in life by sheer will and labor , most of us dream to attain big. And work day in day out to achieve it . In the long run, wear ourselves out,  set emotions to less priority  and then become quite insensitive to our environments. We risk relationships, family for career.  Is the outcome as rosy as we dream ?? ………….Not always But when even after all this we fail to achieve our goal, we decide to end all this. Atheism  : When somebody rejects the existence of God, he sees   himself as the sole creator and destroyer of his fortune .  It does give us some control over us, but when  something terrible happens or calamity strikes , we just give up …believing   its beyond our means as humans to endure such pain. When we are connected to God, we see him as savior in dark

The (Un)Coders Syndrome

(  this is an experience of a first-year after the first semester, no offence.. ); Several weeks ago, most of my friends went sick with a very contagious disease:- coding.  And very quickly its distinct symptoms grasped them; people started ‘night-outs’ to complete their tasks, disturbing happiness the moment their code worked and taking up more online courses than they could manage. I was somehow immune to all this, even though my roomie was among the pioneer victims. I successfully resisted all his attempts to transduce the deadly symptoms. But soon the picture changed…… this was no disease rather an adaptive evolution, a must for people here so that you could find some recognition after your B.Tech years,….I was shocked and scared; tried hopelessly to contract the disease but the symptoms would evade away in just hours. oh! I actually sat down to try to learn Java……..ha…ha..ha.
