Change v/s Self-Improvement

Last semester at the University, i would be late almost everyday when i had classes early in the morning at 08:30. However, this semester i took a resolution to not come late anymore.

However this positive resolution started to haunt my thoughts.

If x = 2 ,then -x = -2

When i would do things badly, the results were kinda good. Now if i do it the correct way, the results might be the opposite

I started to think resolutions should not be considered as an act to *change* yourself. It is to make the same “old you” better.

We remove a negative value y,

x – y = 5

Someone wanting to change himself is a coward IMO. He doesn’t has the guts to admit he has flaws. He prefers instead to throw his ownself away and install someone else’s mind which he considers better.

But, no one is Perfect!

The person above will copy the flaws of the role model too.  What would he do next? Enter in an (infinite) loop to search for a new role model?

A wise man can learn, even from a fool, but a fool cannot learn, even from a wise man.

To become a better person, it is important for one to remain himself, improve his own good qualities and eliminate his own bad qualities. Just copying someone might lead him to have a troubled personality. His life would be the most boring of all.

Live your own life. God gave you life as a gift. Don’t waste it 🙂

Taking the “191 Express Curepipe” bus

It’s the first time i saw the bus “191 Express Curepipe” passing through The University of Mauritius at Reduit. I boarded the bus without knowing it’s route. It did the same route as “173 Curepipe” does till Pont Fer i.e. it passes at Ebene first.

At the round about near SUPERCASH, the bus did not go in the direction of sir Abdool Razack Mohamed Hall. Instead, it continued on the motorway until it reached the Aux Coulee round about.
It then went through Aux Coulee till the Aux Coulee Police Station. From there, it went to Curepipe as other buses usually do.

I can’t tell exactly if the journey took less time. But it was definitely more comfortable 🙂

DTC: The New SMS

Since last week in Mauritus, SMS prices of Orange and Emtel has risen up to 70cents/- and for MTML 10cents/- i’ve heard. So, instead pf using SMS, why not make calls of 0.5-1 mins known as Do Tiny Calls :P. Call rate is 1.20/min.

Pros:-
  • Information can travell in both directions
  • Costs almost the same or even less.
  • Only the person needing you pays

 Cons:-

  • It is cheaper for people on the same network only
  • Girls might have a *little* difficulty to have conversation of less than 1 minute 😀

1st day of Semester 2 at UoM

Our first class with Zakobi got canceled as another lecturer was doing lecture in the class we were supposed to work. It is not unusual for Zakobi to cancel any class at anytime.

Afterwards. We did a labsheet on Python which went rather fine.

Then we were supposed to have another practical from 12:30 to 14:30. But since we did not do any theory for the module, the lecturer only introduced the module and the class finished around 13:30. We were allowed to go anywhere we want but on the campus itself till 14:20. She told us to come in her office at that time so as she’ll check who are the one who left. WTF!? This is just abuse of power by lecturers :@
