...Hey Kiran...
hello...
First let me introduce myself. My name is Shivpal, I am an Indian, and am a 1st Year MS student at IISER Mohali(The Heaven for Science students in India). I've read almost all of the posts here. So, you don't have friends, and that's a greater problem than the experimental confirmation of String theory.
When i was a child, i never used to go out and play with other children, because i liked to sit alone and do my own work, i was excellent at studies, but didn't had any good friends. Then as I grew up i started playing outdoor games, i started with cricket, which i soon left because it had 9 spectators and 4 players on field, and then i tried my hand on Soccer, Basketball and Volleyball, if you have a brilliant mind you can easily master these games. But the most beautiful gift i got from these was friends. So i recommend you to go out and play some sports, at first people may be unwelcoming but they will adopt you, as you adapt the game.
Now, taking about other things, you said that people here don't like science they love money and rather go for engineering. I agree. But still there is a creed of nerds like us lurking all over the place. The best example i can give is of myself. I cleared the JEE(rank 5633), AIEEE also, but I kicked the engineering institutes, because all I had always wanted to be was a Scientist, I joined IISER. We have the Best teachers of science you can find in India, most of them are working scientists.
Like you I never use Bad language, once I punched the face of an opponent on the Soccer field for calling me something i don't want to tell here, his nose started bleeding. But then i felt that somewhere i was wrong too. You say you talk about life much, me too. People generally don't like these kinds of talks, but i never care i talk to anyone i get close to me, i talk about Physics, most of my jokes are scientific, some people don't understand them, but at IISER most of them do, and they do laugh on my jokes seriously, lol.
And if you say you like thinking and talking about life, then why don't you like living the live to the fullest, i mean that you say you don't like movies and parties, that means that you are missing a whole chunk of happiness from the cake of life. You say you never lie, same here. But I think you have lied a little bit here, its not bad to lie for some good, you say you don't like movies, but you have made an excellent video yourself, and I think you want to say you don't watch much movies, but still its is recommended to watch some good flicks to learn some good Directing and Acting skills to make better videos. I don't watch much movies too, (fact i watched 0 movies in the years 2006-08), but still i like editing videos, making my own videos with vfx, i have just downloaded Moviestorm free software for making 3d animations, i like editing photos via Photoshop, composing my own music with Flp.
I am a lot like you but still a lot different. The biggest difference is this - I have many good friends, who will do anything for me. You too can have friends, they are easy to find, all you have to do is to search for them in the correct place and also adjust a little bit. i have evolved much from the time when i had no friends at all to the time when i have so many loving people all around me. As i said you have to adjust, I never use bad language, but also the thing is that i don't care if someone else uses it, at first they will use bad words for you but if you don't care about it and reply politely, then they will slowly start to be polite with you too, but still here is an adjustment to make that you can't stop them from using those words for others. If you want to have a good friend then you have to sacrifice a bit for it. Most of my friends are good at Science, but still i have to adjust a bit on the language thing.
You think that movies, sports and girls are waste of time, i agree to a length but not fully. If taken in a controlled amount they help you to live your life better. I was quite shy at school, i never talked to girls, but dude mark my words, girls like nerds ;-) (fact Schrodinger solved a new math problem and dated a new girl), they reached me but i never replied comfortably, then i started to be a bit less shy, built up my confidence by speaking in front of the whole school on the stage, and now in college they call me the Rockstar because i hosted the odd-sem-cultural-event in my first sem in the college and i sang a song and played a character in a drama too. And after such social and cultural activities your mind gets relaxed and you can improve your nerdiness, and surely you can make friends and fans.
So, my dear geeky, nerdy, science loving friend, if i clear even the preliminary stages of the criteria of being your friend please consider me as one, and if you want to know more about me (as u don't know how i look like) please join Facebook and you can see my profile
http://www.facebook.com/shivpal , i would like to have another science lover as my friend.
It will be a pleasure to know if i was helpful or not. And remember keep on making friends, interact more with people, and one day you will find the Best friend of your life. That's, quite long but, all.
Yours Friendly,
...Shivpal...
