#9: The ruccus on-board!

I should rather say overboard.. or may be over-boreddd i think.. hmm anyway getting u back to my arena.. well.. the pitch looks rather bad.. not fit for another innings but the two sides are strong on playing and the decision is taken! damn.. left to the players luck now! the ball could bounce, spin or fly however it wants!

dude.. i haven't yet gone crazy but a lot of cricket watching and 'anna-hazare'-ing does motivate u to do something like this! kinda showing off u know. ;) coz it looks like there is nothing else left.. what a turn of events.. m i watching a movie? then.. must i say, God.. u r the awsomest director i have seen. so much entropy.. apriori as well as aposteriori.. damn! (explanation follows.. patience....)

lets rotate around some 'morteins' and get back to the time before cricket and any other rukkus.. life seems to be at peace.. project goingg ok ok.. acads too a lil better.. and recently an intern confirmed.. phew! and i lived on n on.. only to realize had to wake up later.. the intern said lil difficult when its time one packs up.. so tried for another.. it kept me dangling till a three days before the start of my innings..(endsems!).. n then acads... this whole one midsem concept.. donno what effect its gonna show..  my last chance to prove to my ppl.. (hope my 'boys' [-incidentally i don't have a lady prof-] will do a great job with the papers.. :P) .. they have turned out to be more uncertain than the conditions in Japan.. m so tired of doing things over n over n over again when i clearly know what difference it makes.. well.. some say these do not make life... so chill babe.. then temme what do make life?? please..

M waiting!

P.S. - Sometimes.. uncertainties do make life interesting init? never thought I d blog again but damn I so am.. the moral is - it never is a stand-still... you r surely on a positive or a negative slope.. but watever it is.. it cant go more than pi/2.. so try reaching pi and keep your mental state there.. ;) :D
'preaching is easy', somehow is making a great deal of sense right at this moment, right?! well.. something izzzzzz.. :D

#8: The infant inside..

It always is weird to talk about yourself, one's brain gets bombarded with a lot of calculations. Can I say this? If I say, will it be SD("Self-Dabba") ? If I dont say it, will people think I am a big duffer?

Keeping all this aside, (I hope you do too), I would like to talk about what life is on my inside. I am a kid, in the way, I would love it if daddy would hug me and say I love you. I am a kid, in the way that I would lovvee to fight with my bro wheneva he is home on petty issues.. that I would love to make as many friends as possible, that one day, as I pass by, I dream to see everyone I can recognize, stop by and have a long chat... that I would love to spend time with people close.. that I don't hide anything with them... that I cant keep a secret(:P)... that I don't really think before I speak in front of them.. that at times, I get too possessive of them.. that I dont expect or want big gifts or lucrative treats, but a sweet smile and a strong support when I stand aloof in a game and want someone to continue playing...

The world outside seems full of malignancy, which needs to be rooted out. It was peaceful till there were people who were bearing your responsibility, but then all of a sudden, when you realize you are at that same position next.. it takes some time to adapt and adjust.. and in the meantime, there is a climb.. (gets me reminded of the song :P) it is all that matters..

I am sure everyone my age, will experience this.. and everyone has an inside that is similar to mine.. but why then does it have to be so difficult..so complicated.. due to the same child within? I never understood...

#7: The Cross-roads yet again

Yes, in this journey of mine, i do witness a lot of them. Rather, every student of my age does. In this rich world of science, it is very tedious a job to choose the right road lest one might end up reciting “The Road Not Taken”. Me, a “bachelor” right now have to become a “Master” soon. Yeah Right! Master of? That is where the cross-roads form.

Everything looks equally appealing, equally good and bad. What is it that makes me feel rightful? What is it that makes me feel satisfied? There is no answer unless i enter the 5th dimension and look at the 6th then. (refer to: www.tenthdimension.com) How I wish there was a meter to measure that. Sometimes, it just feels like – Cmon,go with the flow, take up whatever comes up and move on. But what if i end up being a Master of none?

Am I so ignorant that I can not even choose what I want at the age of 20 too?? Well, i do not know how idiotic this can sound, but it was always nice when there was someone else to decide for us, like at the age of 4. At that time, dude, one doznt know what he might be upto. The elders choose for him. Its almost the same here. We think we know what we are going to do but du-uH! I so totally disagree. So do many, who follow, -not judging book by cover-ish stuff.

hoping not having to recite poems in future,

#6:The lexicon I live in

Do NOT blame me for the post. The other day, in my probability class, the words that were so fluently ejecting off my prof are the ones which obviated my next step.  He was busy trying to feed our brains with some useful desserts (probably), while one of that was busy configuring the syntax of the food. :P

Hello!, such was the word power then! I wonder if I could get a good GRE score at the end somehow after i finish the course(which is also a probability :P) Yeah, so lets not ‘digress’. This ‘digression’ was where he led us to in the first class itself. So did I digress.. not to the destination he took the class to, though. Well, forget that and lets continue our discussion with ‘tenacity’. As i was saying, there are a lot of varieties in the profs you come across, and poor brain needs to have such a huge ram to switch its compatibilities from one to the other with good efficiency and reasonably needed frequency. ufff..

With so much of processing already being done, if a new task comes up, a high priority interrupt is raised and the system shuts. Though, sometimes, one might experience ‘serendipity’ on the way. Such cases are exceptional, mind you!  In some cases, the system just heats up and that might lead to a fatal flaw. :-o Anyway, thank God, that he has given the students enough size of ram to prioritize things properly, with tools like proxies, but damn! i just came to know there are profs who detect forgery with the blink of an eye! aaargh! And people still say, God plays fair!! well, maybe he does, who knoes that guy might have used up full ram while doing it, which, can not be done by people like me, with already so much parallel processing taking place. :D whatever, i like this ‘conjecture’ and please myself so.

geee.. :D

PS:  The ‘quoted’ ones were the literal words the prof i mentioned in the beginning used- viral, init!? :P

#5: Throwing 'Light' on The Einstein Paradox

Hey there!
dont go too hay-way about the title of the blog,dude, you have seen it right. I call it the Einstein paradox, for reasons, gonna become obvious.
For a start, lets get back to our good old classical mechanics where everything starts acting weird and spooky. Oh yea, its this spookiness that led people take 'biggg' magnifying glasses and dig out such brilliant fundae as the strings, anti-gravity, anti-matter, especially quantum,etc. all is well till here. One big lead in this battalion of people was Albert Einstein.
As you should know, if you intend to stick to the rest of the blog, any body exibhits two kind of masses. The rest mass and the effective mass when in motion. Usually, whenever a body is in motion, its 'effective' mass will not be the same as what it was. But that difference is usually negligible for what bodies we come across everyday, or the macro ones. When we look at the atomic and sub-atomic level, things change. This was when a definition for a rest mass and mass in motion was needed- all a consequence of the theory of relativity.
When proposing the theory of relativity, Einstein has given his two most famous postulates, put in very simple terms as-
-speed of light is absolute
-speed of light is invariant
The reason behind the light's speed being absolute, was that the rest mass of a photon,(~a particle of light) is considered zero. And thus, lights speed was set as the limit and absolute. and there comes our famous equation, E=m*c^2.
BUT.. there is no solid proof to the statements made above. Oh yes, they say that the nuclear fission and fusion reactions carried out practically agreed with the equation. Well, right now i can only say hypothetically, that there might be energy which might be 'invisible' to those who are tapping it. Its still a mystery. How could one just set the limit like that? why is mass of a photon zero? (refer to 'tachyons') Why is lights speed invariant? Hope it gets resolved with a strong evidence one day.....
Waiting for such a day,
shampoo
(This led me to go and work on relativity at IITM but in vain. There needs to be a strong proof and that can only come through practical demos, but I dont think there are instruments in todays world, where we can scale things up to the level of 'light'- the Almighty of classical mechanics. )

#4:Waka waka..

Tsamina mina eh eh.. waka waka eh eh.. this song must have reached millions worldwide. Brilliantly made and beautifully performed by Shakira, the song certainly evades ones soul off. Equally competent is the theme song of fifa-by k'naan.
I still remember the first time I listened to them. When I did, they were no special. But somehow, probably while shoulder sniffing over one of my friends, I got to watch the video of this song-Waka Waka. 'atta video, boy! The spirit and the energy were mind blowing, anyway, but the thing that moved me the most was the way life was picturized. You see all the Africans dancing around with such envi-able glee, least bothered about every other damn thing. Do you think you could ever do that in your life? forget everything, just love life and enjoy?
Its not all that pleasing to accept but the fact is, you cant. Just relax for a while, and think what you are making of your life. Remember, its your only life. Is it going to be a mere struggle for success or is it going to be a 'struggle' to keep yourself happy at the end of the day? Lets date back to the B.C. period, oh yes, they did not 'enjoy' any of these lucrative equipment but they lived life for living it. These days, the trend has gotten onto the other end of the rod. You live life to be a someone in this society, to have some status in this society, else it looks like there is no meaning to life. What if you are not that someone? what if you are a no-one? If as long as you live, you live happily, mind you!,your everything will be in place. So will the world be in its own. Its this strife to succeed, the ego when you can not see someone becoming the someone you wanted to be, the jealousy that crops up consequently that are ruining this world. Being a someone isnt wrong but that shouldnt be at such huge an opportunity cost as that of your happiness. Live life to love it! I wish I could get back to the good old times when all was well...
Might sound like emotional bullshit, but there were a lot of times, when in my own life, I underwent the same and it took a lot of time to realize that its time to move on, Just move on... Whether you live in a metropolitan city or over a countryside, it doesnt matter, all that matters is whether there were times in your life, where you just danced on and on like those gleeful ones in the video...
Just move on,
Shampooo..

#3:Life and its manifestations..

For a change, try discarding the electronic travel equipment and rely on ur feet.. stroll over the countryside.. into the woods and the bushes and into the nature if you really wanna know what life is... The place I currently live in is an amazing fiesta for nature walkers.
That reminds me of a professor, Dr.Susy Varughese, who introduced us to this side of science. It was part of a course called Industrial Design, where students are introduced to every discipline of Science and Technology. So, Prof. Susy was there to talk on bio stuff, like prosthetic arms,etc. Well, the subject totally squeezed out all the enthu in us, we, being techies, or rather non-biotics. :P But the moment I saw her, some kinda interest crept in. Her way of dressing,(very simple), talking and especially that aura of happiness and contentment I saw in her. They impressed me a lot. She is a simple woman, working and enjoying whose eyes see everything, naturally.
She told us to have a look at all those birds flying around us and gave names to each of those. Boy, I didnt know there were so many kinds of them till then, each unique in its own way.
On a stroll, yesterday evening, I was looking at all those different manifestations, this thing called life, takes over. It was just after a pour when the sun started to almost set but did not yet. The fresh green leaves, so lovely and lively, extending a warm welcome to their guest. The just-born flowers offering the untouched nectar happily to those colourful butterflies hovering around. The chirping birds chattering and twittering around giving you the most intersting company. Move on a little and there come the big ones- doggies and kitties, jumping around in ecstasy without any absolute thought of what next. From the corner of your eye, you can catch the glimpse of a hare running around, trying its best not to be seen. Then you encompass the very familiar huge family in the neighbourhood, of Mr & Mrs Bull, the air of pride in their walk, striding along the entire path. Then a roar of va-a-arious insects speeding ahead with the awe that reminds you of a lawyer ready to argue his case. Also, if you moved out at the right minute, you may come across a mongoose thieving around, a monkey surprising you, a snake startling you, or even a wild boar scaring you out of your senses, if at all you enter its private arena!
Such diversity of life.. left me dazzled and the best I can do is to share, how beautifully made our environment is, with my fellow sapiens....HOSANNA!
