The Intro.....

 So the world of blogging attracted me. Yes. Influenced by the numerous intellectual and awesome buddies that i happen to have, it was an inevitable step- blogging. So, here iam, ready to fulfil another important task at hand in my life-- thought processing and layout. I might be sounding very technical and direct, but the sole purpose of my blog apart from the obvious ' Food for thought' would be to process and lay out my haywire thoughts into a neat little blog, that would probably help me think in a more organized fashion, which in my life is definitely needed.

Iam a proud undergraduate student of the The Department of Engineering Physics, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. Writing has always been a mode to express the thoughts within, but the last two years have not been very liberal to me, owing to various reasons, due to which my style of writing, my ideologies, my way of expressing my deep intentions and desires have considerably altered. I now fear that if not modulated, the " Thoughts Within" would not be of any help to anyone, most importantly not to me at all. Therefore, in an effort to  be of a help rather than a liability to this world, i, Gourav Khullar, 18, am doing my part by expressing my perspective towards this rather awkward but awesome thingy called LIFE.

The blog has been named that way for a specific reason. I feel its a natural way of harbouring the rebellious and rational thoughts of some one who's iconic Batcave is his Mind ( and the Batman being my fav. comic character.)
So,The Rationalist's Batcave is aimed at free-thinking, rationalist ideologies(Captain Obvious!), liberal discussions, and definitely some crap talks on how this particular Homo sapiens lives his life. For the future readers of this blog, i would just say...umm....

Cheers:)

Here is my first official article for this blog of mine. And i felt that the perfect entry was not a new thought process or theory or opinion or belief....but a pre-written post that i once penned down to express what i was feeling during a very critical time.....when both personal and student phases of my life were in turmoil i would say. It was written on Facebook and posted through my profile on 06th September 2009.

I feel the post, in the core of it, still represents the essence of my ideologies, of what drives me forward at times, of what keeps me frm staggering in my path of the ambitions i have laid down for myself in the coming years.

For the reference,Pradeep sir n CM sir have been my teachers at Bakliwal Tutorials, my 2nd home in class 11th n 12th....who are like brotherly and fatherly figures to me. I would say that i have had the luck and opportuniy of studying at IITs due to these great intellectual n knowledgeable people. Kudos to them:)

What I want from Life.....

My teachers at Bakliwal tutorials, with the students

Sitting and listening to Pradeep sir can be an amazing Experience....specially if u acknowledge the fact that his lectures are soo filled wid information and data with such few written material! Listening to ChandraMohan sir can literally be a very practical and rib-tickling joy ride that each of his student will agree wid....cheers:)....but there is one thing that is common in the way both teachers teach......wich is what i really liked.....:)

Both Pradeep sir n CM sirappreciate the fact that whatever they teach their students...is actually the original work and hardwork of hundreds of great minds that started working since time immemorial....they know the fact that its da hardwork f our ancestors all over the world that we have so many laws just written and taken for granted in todays world!

Victor Grignard, Allesandro Volta, Euler,Michael Faraday, Isaac Newton,Albert Einstein, js to name a few.....these men had a thing in common.....all worked hard selflessly...in pursuit f their goals...and after achievin them....became immortal in the Sands Of Time......

It has been Pradeep sir n CM sir who made me realise what i want to actually achieve in dis life iv been given.....M1 Lecture..4th september 2009, 7:37 in mah watch....sir was talkin about the Simpson's Rule for Numerical Integration...named after Sir Thomas Simpson,a gr8 English Mathematician.....and he js said...it was due to the efforts of this guy that Areas under the curve used to be calculated earlier....

And it suddenly dawned on me...this is what i want....after all those chem lectures...those Named reactions...those Laws named after Gr8 people.....this is what i desire....that i do somethin worth my life! i achieve smthn in life so that my name is also engraved in da Book f Time like these amazin ppl! all i want to do is....do smthn in this life so that people remember me...be it whatvr...Khullar's Law....Gourav's Rule if you may.....whatver...but smthn wid wich the world remembers this odd human.....:)

Moreover...i promise to work for it...to toil for it...so i do not disappoint the people that hav unending Faith in me...who expect only the best for me....thank u fr ur support:)...coz i promise i wont let u down.....

So the jist is.......100 years frm now...i wish...maybe sm kid in high school shall chant my name a day before his exams and say......Why the Hell did dis idiot Make this Law!!?!?!?:P

Cheers:)
