If only George hadnt come up with a prequel trilogy. I would have been able to fantasize about this. This and for creating Jar Jar. I am concentrating, hoping that if I concentrate hard enough, George's balls will self combust.

Cricket
For us guys to openly discuss girls, infront of girls, we devised a system. Basing it on “cricket” methodology, we have ended up with a whole legendarium.
Test Match - Long term commitment, where you plan on playing for a long time with the opposing team, because you want to, and does the other team.
One Day – Do I need to say more. Done for the sheer pleasure of it. Short term, concise, mutually beneficial, usually.
T20 – Less then one day. :Z, purpose being usually to kill time, or to show off cricketing skills.
Everything can be meant to be understood anyway you want to understand. You don’t want to play against the team,. The weather conditions were not meant to be. The pitch is too hard. The ball is tampered with. There is too much excessive threading on the ball. (In some scenarios, the girl can be referred to as a ball). The other team keeps bowling a Yorker, and you keep on dodging it. Instead of bowling a reverse swing, the other team bowled a leg spin. The other team plays a knockout tournament, you lose once, you are out of the tournament.

Common App Primary Essay (The most serious post you are ever going to see here)
“She loved the light too much too fear the flame.”
Those words have stuck with me my whole life. I cannot place exactly where I heard it or read it, but it has ended up consuming me. Slowly, as time has passed and I have grown older I have realized that it truly captures human nature without distorting or corrupting it; that is, all of us, no matter how sane or in control of ourselves will always want the very things that will cause our demise. Most of the prominent literature is based on this concept: Romeo and Juliet, Othello, Anna Karenina, Misery.
I want to teach, read and research. Compared to teaching, I find other professions boring and monotonous. On the other hand, teaching I find very entertaining. I never want to do a 9 to 5 desk job in my life. I idea of sitting on the same desk everyday for 8 hours frightens me. I have an aversion to boredom which I have a difficulty describing in words. Standing out in a crowd is not what I planned to achieve. Rather tha preferring “The Dark Knight”’s Joker, I prefer the one fro “Batman: The Animated Series”. Probably because of the fact that he is voiced by Luke Skywalker is truly enthralling for me. Due to my nagging curiosity, I have no doubt I will get involved in research. I am willing to go at lengths for a certain piece of information.
I plan on majoring in Mathematics and Economics. Also a minor in philosophy. While studying the creativity dampening A Level syllabus, I started asking questions that no one around me was willing to answer. How did mathematical subject matter reach the stage it is in now? What is the relation between logic and mathematics? How is it that the abstract world of mathematics is connected to our materialistic world? What importance does an abstract mathematical object hold in the materialistic world? Why is it that the Pythagoras' theorem can be proved in so many different ways? What makes mathematics the universal language? How does one solve morality based questions in economics? How is it just to support economic growth of one specific unit, and not of the others? I tried getting the answers myself. With the luxury of the internet available to me, I tried doing research. But it seems that text can only lead you on to a certain extent, after that you need someone to guide you. I did get the answer to one question. “What is economics?” But the answer I got was nothing but an amalgamation, or rather a survey of definitional and territorial difficulties. The nagging curiosity in me feels that I need to know the answer to these questions. Only then will I be able to fully comprehend what I want to comprehend.
Game theory. It consists of all of the above mentioned disciples, i.e. applied mathematics, economics, and philosophy. It tries to mathematically capture human behavior, with ones decision based on the decisions made by others. Then there is also decision theory - multiply the value of the result from decision with the probability of that result happening, higher the number, the better the decision is. Mathematically proving that the decisions that humans make, which they consider beneficial for themselves, actually end up having a negative impact on them. The complexity of neurons traveling through a human brain, leading to the human making a decision. Simplified to an equation.
