August 18, 2009 - Pink Floyd - The Thin Eyes Lyrics

If you should go skating

On the thin ice of modern life
Dragging behind you the silent reproach
Of a million tear-stained eyes
Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice
Appears under your feet.
You slip out of your depth and out of your mind
With your fear flowing out behind you
As you claw the thin ice.

July 5, 2009 - The Duty Of An Individual

"The individual's duty is to do what he wants to do, to think whatever he likes, to be accountable to no one buy himself, and to challenge every idea and every person." - Jean Paul Sartre from his novel, The Age Of Reason.

July 5, 2009 - Sartre's Quote - Existentialism

"Man is alone, abandoned on earth in the midst of his infinite responsibilities, without help, with no other aim than the one he sets himself, with no other destiny than the one he forges for himself on this earth." - Jean Paul Sartre.

This seems to be the easiest to understand definition of existentialism.

July 4, 2009 - Chemistry, A New Fascination

As I was learning a bit of Chemistry today, I learnt that things can burn in water. H20 or commonly known as water, is made up of hydrogen and oxygen. Things can only burn in the presence of oxygen, and oxygen helps things to burn, whereas hydrogen burns even if it reacts with air. If hydrogen reacts with air, it is reacting with oxygen. Hydrogen and oxygen form water. Water is only formed if the ratio of mixing of both the objects is proper.
It’s wonderful how the water we drink and use daily, in such large quantities, can also cause fires, which is the exact opposite of water.
