Day 3: Of Nintendo, Reservation Protests, Electrostatics, Knoppix and Batch 1
Whoa! The title itself is an antithesis.
First things first, I started Class XII (with respect to IITJEE) today with Electrostatics from HC Verma. The theory in this book is really amazing. I'll post some questions later..
On finishing the lullaby story describing the nuances of "a relativistic particle, having velocity comparable to velocity of light, may experience a change in mass, but never a change in charge", I booted the Knoppix LiveCD I recieved from INOI last year. I tried running Wine to play Windows games on Linux, but failed miserably with only 3 games running out of 10.
Today, our reshuffled batches list was announced (Oh, did I mention that I take coaching from Brilliant Tutorials). I reached the centre to see that I was assigned Batch 1, meaning I could study from all the cool teachers. 10 minutes later, I was answering frantic calls and SMS'es asking me about my friends' results. Finally, goodbye Manoj Khanna, goodbye Sanjay Tiwari....
When I got back home and switched on the television, I saw the mob of medical students take head on the brunt of police brutality. Water cannons, smoke grenades, teargas shells....., it seems Delhi Police has an unlimited arsenal for mob control. Buses full of arrested students left the site. The worst part is, that no political party, even the opposition, has taken any stance on this issue. This caste reservation scheme has gone too far, and Arjun Singh is surely going to have a Rang De Basanti-like showdown.
After all the hullabaloo, and the news channels having switched to Sansani, Murder, Vardaat etc. , I started playing on Nintendo (popularly known in India as "Video Game"). The nostalgia of playing all-time classics like Super Mario Bros, Contra, Tennis is simply exhilerating.

Due to availability of NES emulators, it is now possible to play these and many other games on your PC. Get FCEU, the NES emulator from here and game roms from here.
Today's Formula:
If there exist two point charges, q and Q, such that the distance between them is r, then the force of attraction/repulsion , F , between q and Q is given by
F=qQ/4πεr²
F=qQ/4πεr²
