Tryst with physics

Let me start of by saying that i was never good at physics (sorry A.O sir...big fan of urs...brilliant man u are...but couldn't get head to tails of what u were saying man). I suppose engineering was not supposed to be the career option for me as it so physics-centric..but lets not go along that road shall we. I suppose my first tryst with physics was at the age of 2. I saw a pond in the premises of a temple and , being the einstein that i was, thought it was a swimming pool and jumped into it!! The laws of hydrodynamics were not very kind to me and i almost drowned had my dad not been around (thanks 'ol chap).

Circa 1989, i was quite fascinated by the pair of openings in the wall and decide to stick a scissor into it. Yes, that opening was the switch plug and yes i got a royal shock...never liked electrical engineering ever since. Between 1989 to 1994 i tried desparetly to prove that superman was no fluke and i tried to jump from everywhere...i have not proved it yet and got a few broken bones in the bargain...but full marks for trying!!Damn that newton...if only a coconut fell on his head instead...think of the number of kids who would not have commited suicide because of him..ah well.

From the aforementioned episodes i am quite sure u must be thinking that i am screwed up somewhere...and honestly even i am beginning to think likewise...
