ße: Yo!You weren't kidding man
µß: about?
ße: this Tex thingy
µß: latex?
ße: yeah.It does give out some awesome results.
µß: It does.. but barring for equations, Microsoft Word does give it a run for its money in capable hands
ße: I have to agree.
µß: Used and configured rightly, u can do everything latex does, in MS word and quite faster, than that
ße: I've seen that happen
µß: little quirks with MS word u need to get used to
but once u do,it's all fine.I prefer 'wysiwyg' editors
can't 'think' using latex -it is almost like programming your document
ße: I might take a stab at it
µß: u should
ße: somehow am attracted to latex :)
µß: i have no choice.My prof likes latex.
ße: That's kinky ;).Hope mine doesn't.
µß: "LaTeX"if that helps.Yours will go for spandex
ße: ..and why do they pronounce it 'la-tek'?
µß: Probably the chaps who came up with it wanted to distinguish it from the dirtier options.
ße: I prefer 'latex', though.
µß: I'm sure.

On person(al) finances
ßε: yo!
µß : wod doin'?
ßε: checking mails.
µß : and females?
ßε: not yet. what abt u?
µß : checking finances.
ßε: cool
µß : tagging transactions.. keeping tabs of where my meagre income's going
ßε: so? plenty of cash left in the bank eh? that'll help u net lotsa chicks!
µß : naah.. women come expensive - running in deficit.
ßε: come to think of it - there appears to be a direct correlation between the two.
µß: Between income and cash in the account? More money, more cash. Ain't that obvious?
ßε: Nope. Between income and no. of females in the account.
µß: More money, more women. More women, less money. Less money, fewer women. Sounds more like convoluted correlation.

On 'action' films
µß: seen '500 days of summer'?
ßε: nope .. old movie?
µß: nopes.. new one. released a few weeks ago.
ßε: hmmm...who's in it?
µß: as always! is it ever abt the storyline?
ßε: ok ok..what's in it?
µß: right.. now that is difficult. nothing in it for you to watch, but should train you a little on how to make the Bus Stop count -an engliss story told the bollywood way. replete with songs, desi cliches and all.
ßε: wonderful !! who's the director? karan johar?
µß: mark webb
ßε: wt*?
µß: know him?
ßε: nope. hence the wt*
ßε: any sizzl... is it good?
µß: the hotness is covered in desi wrappings.
ßε: oh! so they get straight down to the action eh? cool!
µß: remember the 80s movies in India?
ßε: yeah..?
µß: flowers swaying, legs playing under the blankets. censorship mode.
ßε: damn! gotta try that sometime.
µß: at your own risk.
On plain and smuldering hotness
µß: follow 'how I met your mother'?
ßε: cobie smulders..... she's hot!
µß: yeah. think so too.
ßε: now that's the kind i'm talkin abt!!
she's not plain hot.. she's smuldering smoldering hot.
µß: who's on ur hot list? the megan gale kind?
ßε: Megan gale/fox are teepee. but cobie is ....
µß: say it.
ßε: not going to.
µß:I know u want to.
ßε: no.
µß: u know u want to, too. let it out. lose control
ßε: cobie is beautiful!
µß: self-censorship. neat.
ßε: has that series ended?
µß: nopes. still on - he just might find his lady love this season.
ßε: i only managed to watch a few episodes :(
µß: hated it?
ßε: no. lost track of the series but cobie stayed with me (sigh)... and that bugger NPH ruined it for me. Was too distracted to figure out what it was abt. Would just wait for CS to cobie on ...er..appear on screen.
µß: not surprised. but NPH?
ßε: doogie howser- isn't he too in that series?
µß: who's doogie howser?
ßε: neil patrik harris
µß: oh! that guy. apparently he's down ur alley.
ßε: and why may i ask??
µß: heard ppl say he leans towards men.
ßε: in real life???????
µß: yeah
ßε: good for him. does cobie?
µß: towards men, yeah.
ßε: just imagine if ..oh! forget it!
µß: too late. i already did.
ßε: now THAT would be something!
µß: chee chee.

On research
Another one of those conversation that ßε managed to veer off towards predicted terrains.
- µß
ßε: its a totally diff ball game is it not - research?
- µß
ßε: its a totally diff ball game is it not - research?
µß: it is le, in some ways.. you keep working on something.
it may click and yield results or lead to a dead end.
and you need to be motivated enough to pick urself up and start all over again on a new subject.
ßε: sort of like wooing a gal.
µß: sort of like that.
