Ok.. I'm taking a break from serious stuff. This one's on the lighter side..
You've heard of Moore's law.. well, he was no Einstein.. if he can make laws, so can I. Here are mine. These have been verified many times experimentally and accidentally. There's no doubt about their validity whatsoever (they definitely work perfectly well in my frame of reference )
Tim's First Law: With respect to a stationary bus stop, the frequency of buses is always higher in the opposite direction of intended travel.
Tim's Second Law: The no of lines constituting the syllabus of a particular subject is inversely proportional to the effort required in comprehending it.
Motivation behind the laws:
The First Law: You know how irritating it is when your carrying your heavy backpack, waiting at a bus stop, and you see a bus every minute or so stopping on the other side of the road, and all you can do is watch the passengers coming after you leave before you in LIFO manner. Well, every time this happens it baffles me. I mean, either the bus operators conspire against me, or its just how things work!!! Since this happens almost at any bus stop and across a wide range of time slots, i concluded it couldn't be a meticulous plan against me. That means its a natural phenomenon. It doesn't hurt that bad now - at least i got a law out of it :)
The Second Law: Its happened more than once - I'll have about 32 hours left for an exam, and i pick up the syllabus, discover that a one or more modules are just 2 lines long covering about 2 or 3 topics and judge that its not gonna be a herculean task finishing it. And then when I actually get down to study, brimming with self confidence, i learn just how deep the thing is...more than compensating its width - or the lack of it.
20 years from now, when people start quoting these laws, they may use this page as reference - this is the official release of my laws as i can't find an appropriate journal to submit them as a paper [:)]

The third law...The third law
I dont even want to start off on how vital it always turns out to be
:) .. wats the thirs law? maybe we can have a common law - somthin like the 2nd law of thermodynamics..
Damn, how did i manage 2 delete that? ok, here it goes again:
For the 1st law, i'll take ur word, since i dont use buses much (God bless my love child, my beautiful F-16!) but 2nd is very certainly universal... Wenever the syllabus is 2 lines long, it occupies 300 pages in the book n each pages luks lyk it will tk 12 hours 2 understand...
BTW, nice 2 know thr r othrs lyk me who hv a 1st pick up d syllabus 16 hours b4 d exam :P
Murphy's Laws my boy!!! :P Murphy already had a law for everything that can go against one!!!
yeah..that b@$t@rd [:p] stole the whole show by some awesome creativity..
Keep up the good work.
the first law..its damn rite..it always happens to me...
@nikhil: pleased to hear that. my law works :)
Maybe we should have mirrors on each bus stop ... you wouldn't mind the wait then [:)] ...
your 2nd law for some weird reason reminded me of "shorter the cloths costlier it gets" [:P] (don't try connecting ... i have no clue myself)
hehe... nice one..
