TOC-is it?

I think it might be getting too late to mend now.
For the last 3 days I have been trying to understand this complex topic in TOC, but i couldn't make any head or tail of it.This has seldom happened before. I mean, i think of myself as as rather ordinary guy who can at least understand what's written in front of him.Now, it seems, even that virtue is gone. All's that left is a foolish mind with nothing to boast of.
Well, not exactly nothing.
Today , in DSA class, madam was talking about NP problems. And that finding prime numbers used to be a problem of exponential complexity until recently. But 6 years ago, some professor and his student from IIT Kanpur solved it in polynomial time.It was a huge breakthrough internationally.
Guess who was the student. Well, thats my brother NS.

Now,it would be quite natural for me to feel depressed about how i have let my family down and what a loser I am; but starngely, I don't feel that way at all.
I feel proud- proud to have a blood relation to him.
Here I am crying about a simple problem in TOC, and this guy, who shares my genes, has brought the world to his feet!

It's a strange phenomena , how simple matters can lift your spirits for a day.

At least, I need it to last for a day- tomorrow I have my TOC quiz :)

You should be able to easily guess , why I have written his name using 1's and @'s instead of i's and a's.

I don't wanna him/or anyone known him to know about this blog and to whom it belongs.
