If you are - however, still reading this blog, first of all I must congratulate you on your exemplary endurance.Thank you for being such a great audience.
I reckon most of you might have watched 'A BEAUTIFUL MIND' one of my favourite movies of all time - in which Russell Crowe brilliantly portrays the delicate and intricate character of Pf.John Nash, the founder of Game Theory and the one who revolutionized the field of Governing dynamics. For those of you geeks who missed it, It would help you to know what game theory is about.
Adam Smith once said 'In competition,Individual ambition serves the common good'.Nash and three of his friends are at the bar one night when all of a sudden , they find themselves in the company of a bevy of beauties-a blonde and four brunettes(Its all right guys , stay with me)
The Guys argue over how they should approach the girls and that is when one of them cites Adam Smith's 'Individual ambition serves the common good'. And this uis where Nash sees a turn around in Governing Dynamics. He foresees that if they all follow Smith, and go for the blonde, they cancel out each other and therefore, none of them gets the blonde. Then after being turned down, when they approach the brunettes, THEY TURN THE GUYS DOWN AGAIN because no one likes to be second choice.
But if the guys all decide not to satisfy their individual ambitions and they do whats best for themselves, and the group, they approach the brunettes first and volla, every geek finds a girl for himself.And hence, the title- Gals, Geeks and Game theory. I trust that you would have liked this at least a teeny weeny bit and Im in hopes that you will like the blogs that are yet to be published.

First things first--the title for the blog and how it was born
To be honest, I am not an avid blogger and my blogging odyssey has just begun. I take utmost inspiration to vent out all my feelings and emotions (on this electronic space that google so graciously offers to human kind) from a senior and a junior of mine-Vineeth and Umesh(in that order, respectively)-Two very serious people who have played the blogging game for a long time now, and if you want to read some really good stuff, It would undoubtedly be in your best interest to close what you're reading right away, get started with theirs and then come back here and decide for yourself how bad this literary junk of mine really is.

Too much of modesty is unnecessary!
ur first post holds loads and loads of promise.
keep Blogging amidst your engagements!
We have seen Raina and Gambhir bat!
Sachin is on the field at last!
Umesh has already said what I wanted to tell you. I would just paraphrase his sentence. Modesty like beer is good in small quantities. Too much of it will make you look bloated :D
Great start and a good sign of things to come. Keep blogging.
