Year 2009 ( I remember it like it was yesterday): I was sitting behind Alokananda who was sitting with a bunch of her friends. There was some conflict about a pen which I claimed to be mine even though it was Aloka's between all of those who were present there. Aloka was not there for some reason I do not remember. When she returned she saw the conflict and saw someone was asking me, "Prove that this pen is yours". Alokananda told me to tell them that The pen is marked as a gel pen by its manufacturer but she is using a ball point refill inside it.. I did not tell them about it because I was doing the useless argument with those folks not to win the argument but the way she wanted to prove that the pen was mine was nice.
Now, that is the habit we were talking about in Year 2012
Year 2012

There are a few moments and quotes about her which I always remember crystal clearly. Another example is her Samosa quote.
I am sure she does not want to see me changed as a person but she is not happy about a few of my habits like sitting on tall fences like a monkey, sitting like L, chewing leaves, wearing my left shoe in right foot and right shoe in the left, etc

So you sit on fences like a monkey.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.

I mean I am like a monkey not the fence.
Hi niharika_kumar;
Once a student just casually mentioned, "... you must have heard of Alokananda"
The professor replied, "How could I not know her? Half of the particles in the universe belong to her."

Agonizer is defined as a person or something that causes mental anguish to someone. It is something that causes one to suffer extreme pain or great anguish. Agonizer also means someone who can make a great effort; struggle.
This meant that your problems would do this because people would have to struggle hard to get them right.

So, I had the correct idea of the word in my mind before
It is something that causes one to suffer extreme pain
I am sorry but why does that give you a lot of pain?

Reading what a physicist thinks is agony. Seeing Carl's fat face and reading his kaboobly doo is super agony. The quote by Newton is nice.

He is called a debunker and his job was to go around discrediting sightings of extraterrestrial craft. He was well compensated for his activities.

He is assigned the job because he is a famous name. He just says no to any case that deals with extraterrestrials.
