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.

A near dear friend of mine gave birth to a handsome baby boy a few hours ago. I have been thrilled with the whole thing from day one of the whole pregnancy and its hard to explain the delight I feel.

I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me… but it’s hard to stay mad, when there’s so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I’m seeing it all at once, and it’s too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that’s about to burst… And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can’t feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life… You have no idea what I’m talking about, I’m sure. But don’t worry… you will someday.

- Finishing Lines… American Beauty

When I first watched American Beauty it was on a television movie channel. I had heard so much about it and wanted to know what it was about. What impressed me then the most was the ending of the film… that line(above quote) struck a chord with me… Far away from understanding the movie, back then I thought it was an above average movie. Blame it mostly on the overly censored movie channels (it was the clipping of what was considered ‘bad language’ that bothered me more than the nudity) and the ad breaks that just ruined the flow of the movie.

Wakened one night by a curious dream
and a voice that seemed to be speaking to me
like a far-off subterranean dream
I rose and asked: What do you want of me?
