Life moves on, as it has always done.And as it does so, a frequent irritant comes in the way : examinations. So my first minors are about to come, [on 20th, 21st, and 22nd], and preperations for them are starting up and gathering momentum. Momentum. Speaking of which, I had a long hearty discussion with Prof. Purohit today [ok, he's an associate professor, but same thing], about a question that has been irking me for a little while now: Somebody had put forward the question, that if a current is flowing through a conductor, and if I break the conductor, why wouldn't the electron, having some finite momentum, obey the law of inertia, and drop out of that conductor? [If you look at it analogously, if you are running into a wall at a great speed, the moment you collide with the wall, you don't stop at that same instant.1st law and 3rd law combined]. But after the discussion, we mutually reached a conclusion, that the drift velocity of the elctron, is in itself, very very small [of the order of 1 to 2 cms. per second], and this small drift velocity, when multiplied with the electron's mass, gives a momentum, whose energy is nowhere near the work function of any metal. It also involves a little bit of spintronics, a newly-emerging field, where the spin of the elctron is continously monitored and took into account with its other attributes. Anyway, but what is important, is that the former concept, of elctron-falling-due-to-inertia, can actually be achieved in nanotechnology, where a conductor with a very small work function can be developed. Anyhow.That was that. The rest od the days past as usual, with me returning from college around about 6-ish, having coffee at barista [almost daily, which now I will have to consciously reduce!], and then mostly just trying to get some work done. Today, however, I started revising electrodynamics, which, if you have done, and have encountered the laplacian operator, you would know that it can be a dear friend!

For the past few days, I have become grossly obsessed with a few songs from the movie parineeta, which, I think you would agree with me, has had one of the best collections of music that any recent hindi movies have had.Especially the songs Soona man kaa angan, and Raat Hamari toh, and piyu bole, are extremely beautiful. And there is something about these songs, that makes you listen to them over and over and over again, and still a million more times.With all the melodious melting of different key signatures and bases, there is something in them which shouts aloud of their uniqueness.almost like Mona Lisa, with depths of sadness hidden behind a mask of beauty, serenity, and joy.Which shouts with its muting silence to those who can realize it.Which wants to tell a story, but is unable to translate it into words. Sadness, which almost wants to describe beauty
