A New Passion

This thing on the left is the new love of my life, a Rubik's cube. Rubik's cube - a puzzle made in the 70's by erno rubik quickly rose to be the puzzle everyone wanted to solve. Its poularity skyrocketed after its invention and now everyone has seen or atleast heard of rubik's cube. I am one of those people who are totally addicted to this wonderful , wonderful thing . I first heard of the cube sometime back but obviously i couldnt solve it and i quietly forgot about it with sudoku occupying my mind. This sem sometime in Jan there was a rubik's cube workshop held in my college . As was the case with every workshop i decided to ditch this too preferring to lie on my arse enjoying yet another nap. But people returned with an algorithm sheet and suddenly everyone started solving it and quickly it became a craze in the coll. I looked around as people started solving it quicker and quicker without breaking a sweat . Srini was even doing it in the class. It was then I thought "Man i NEED to solve the cube" . As soon as I went back to blore for a mini break i sat in front of the comp looking at video tutorials and surprisingly i found it bloody easy to solve. But then even though i can comfortably solve it i keep doing it again and again for hours together even though i know the end result is always the same. Doing it faster is the main aim now and now i can do it within 2 minutes( not that good but i am trying hard to get it within 1 ). So i will leave u with two ppl who can really teach YOU how to solve the cube. Try it, its simple.
