" By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest."

Short and Sweet.

First off- funny word I came across the other day: callipygian. Calli meaning beautiful and pygian is derived pyge- buttocks. So, a person with great buttocks is a callipygian.

Sounds sane enough when I'm telling it to you know, depending on who you are, but it was so damn when I found this word. Still is, in fact.

Another great discovery: What is photography etymologically? "Written in light"- I thought it sounded great... written in light. Sigh(the good one).

Weather is awesome, I finally met and heard Dr. Kalam- he's a funny (in a good way) man and it was a funny episode. But he is a nice guy, and that's big coming from me. At one point he asked us to pledge to create a corruption free world, this part was very conveniently ignored by a few people present there.

That's about it. Hope you guys had a lovely day.

All my love.

    Goodsthuff. I'm going to start calling lots of girls callipygian. Since they won't know what it means, they'll never know they're being eve-teased! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    But seriously, eve-teasing is bad. Don't do it. Just look at callipygian girls, and be happy. Perhaps you can draw a few of their pyges in light.

    @koze: You do realize that they can just go and look up the word too, right?

    @Ira: Motivated by my writing? You're kidding me!

    @Nav: Yes, I met him. He's also going to be teaching in my college, and he is my senior. But he won't be teaching me, or so I think, so yay for you.

    How I came across it, is a funny story. One that is best taken to the grave.

    Thanks for not running away you guys,

    All my love.

    Lol. Nice word. Always good to expand your vocab. :D

    And I like the written in light.

    Me too!

    It's got that poetic/ romantic touch to it, doesn't it?

    All my love.
