My brother...Sheldon personified...

Those who know me very well may have had their fill of stories of my brother...This is just a write up on one of the latest happenings that proves that my brother is "Sheldon personified" followed by a few of my brother's famous sayings.

Let me start of with the incident...

Whilst I was in my second year at Rajagiri, I came across a TV series called 'The Big Bang Theory' and to say I was hooked would be an understatement. I was pretty surprised when I came home to see my younger brother also watching the same TV series. He was hooked to an extent where he knew half the dalogues and could say them without any prompting.

As days went by, I began to see, what I call Sheldonism, in him. Knowing him and his gang of friends and I would probably describe them similar to the geeks/nerds in this series....

Yesterday he had the Scence Fair at school where he and a friend of his had an exhibit. This exhibit had its origins from an episode of 'The Big Bang Theory'. There is an episode where they show Sheldon, Leonard, Howard and Raj experimenting on a Non-Newtonin Fluid  . So they set up the entire thing and it was really a great concept. They set up the speakers and the mixture and showed people the oobleck do a dance. For those who haven't had a chance to see this series or couldn't understand this experiment, I suggest you watch the episode here.

 I had been mulling over the idea for putting down some of my brother's so called  "laws" and "survival tactics" for a long time now. Seeing his geekiness in the form of a great experiment,  I felt that it was high that I share these laws with a few others as well...

PS: You may raise your eyebrows after reading the below. These are straight from the horses aka Rohit's mouth...

Rohit's Law of Bottleum 

"The water in a bottle remains constant unless and until an external 'Rohit' comes and drinks it, where Rohit can mean anybody and everybody"

 Survival Rules

Rule 1: If anyone ever says anything you don't understand....just smile and nod your head at them...
Rule 2: Keep others expectation of you very low..So when you actually do something, they will be surprised and happy.
Rule 3: When people whom you don't know come and ask if you know them just smile and nod your head...
Rule 4: If you don't want your teacher to catch you during an extremely boring period, repeat whatever your teacher says at intervals, nod your head always, smile at the teacher and don't let them catch you yawning.

The most important rule here being the Rule No 4. According to my sources, this rule is used very extensively.

So signing off for now...and will be back with more of Rohit's craziness as soon as I can....
