Me: Do you believe in Soulmates?
Her: Yeah… I think there are soulmates for everybody.
Me: So there is one soulmate for everyone in the world?
Her: Yeah, the problem I think is finding them. But what about soulmates.
Me: The concept of soulmates is good but what if soulmates dont occur in pairs.
Her: I don’t understand.
Me: Well, lets say A is the soulmate of B. But what is the guarantee that B will automatically be the soulmate of A

Direction…

The Compass North

I walked the plains in search of what I wanted.
I knew where to find it,
And followed the directions on the compass.
Only when I reached my destination,
I realized that it wasn’t my goal,
I had followed the wrong compass.

Everybody is in search of the right direction, some use experience, some use intuition, some use faith and some use that compass deep inside their heart.

Numbers…

September 25, 2008 11:42 pm

I started reading Fermat’s Last Theorem a few days ago and it has by far been the most gripping non-fiction book I have ever read. This is the second book written by Simon Singh that I have picked up. The Code Book(review) was his other book and I loved it too.

The book is about a mathematical problem that took over 300 years to solve. The ‘last theorem’ is intriguing in itself but what i have enjoyed most about the book so far is the story of Pythagoras and his love for numbers. There is so little I knew about the man who had put forward probably the single most famous theorem in mathematics.
