A wake up thought...

You were pushed in this world. You cried when you arrived. Mom shoved her nipple in your mouth and you suckled and slept.  You slept thru and shat.  ...and then cried again. That's all about your genesis. Shakespeare called you an actor, but all through your life you think you are a director.

Whatever, you are just a victim of circumstances. ...circumstances, which you create by chasing your instincts. ...instincts, which are always right, in whatever mess they lead. You die as a popper without ever creating a void. In short, that's the story of everybody's life.

Lokpal Vs Anna

मसला ये है कि कातिल बना क़ाज़ी, कातिल ढूँढता है सुराग़
वो क्यों कर हो बेनकाब, बस अब क़यामत का है इंतज़ार

'Crazy U'

As our Sons & Daughters grow up and get ready to leave the nest, our worry is to provide them with the best launching pad which may push them in a future, we think is bright and best for them. But most of the times the little fellas have their own 'idea' and are willing to assume the role of a 'Pa', which gives heartburns to the most docile of us.

In such situation one could do nothing but laugh, so read a hillarious recount of a poor Dad, Andrew Ferguson, in 'Crazy U - One Dad's Crash Course in Getting His Kid Into College.'

In search of a tree

I am in search of a tree after listening to below story:

There were four friends in a village school. Three brilliant and one idiot. But friends are friends. After studying for few years the idiot dropped out and started running errands at his father's farm. However, the other three completed their studies with merit. Not having the opportunities to suit their qualification in the village, the trio decided to move to the capital city. The idiot pleaded with the departing friends to take him along. Thinking that the idiot might come handy in households, the three agreed.

The four of them set out on the journey, which entailed passage through a thick forest. Midway through the woods, they came across a heap of bones. The wise-men exclaimed, "A Lion's bones!, Let's reconstruct it." One of them assembled the bones into a complete skeleton. The other one clad it in flesh and skin. Now the third one said that he could bring the lion back to life. Hearing that, the idiot exclaimed, " Are you crazy, the thing will eat us all when comes to life."

The wise men just laughed at him. The idiot begged them to wait until he climbed a tree. As soon as the idiot climbed the tree, last of the wise put life into the lion...

...And the idiot survived to witness the end of wisdom n wits.

Dream your own dream

Installed with five senses and an analytical brain, man started storing and synthesising all information. This exclusive trait gave him access to the secrets of the nature and a pie of God's mind.

Nevertheless, human psyche is still contrary to nature's philosophy. Nature loves what we call chaos. We love order or bias which nature does not approve. Earth was the chosen planet for life. God instilled a little bias on this planet by slightly tilting the earth's spin axis, which makes order loving life possible here.

Despite the distinguishing characteristic, man never let go his animalistic instincts, like appeasement, obedience & discipline in return for reward and fear, which he inherited from his fore fathers. Basically and largely, till date, he remains a social 'animal' and a tail wagging follower, but for individuals, who led mass campaigns and movements and wrote history.

In recent times, a country with rich heritage but enigmatic past has suddenly acquired the centre stage. A country, which does not recognise individual identity and has achieved greatness through large sets of uniform natural numbers. Yes, it is China, where they do not look at any hero in Chang, Ming or Pu but people as a collective common noun. The ardent and faithful followers from China are capable of executing any senseless or headless state decree to ten on ten e.g. in 1958 they killed all the sparrows, an action which was later credited with exacerbating the Great Chinese Famine in which more than 30 million people died of starvation.

Earth was always one, but man divided territories to protect regional ecology within a friendly culture. But today, in spite of disparity, diversity and differences among races, in an absolute loss of creativity, we have all united in our pursuit of a common dream. Predictability of human race is at its acme. The growing uniformity of human design is disturbing the natural design and creating serious ecological imbalance. It is now between the human will and nature's tolerance. In absence of any insulation, a regional tragedy of past brought upon by error of judgement will be of global magnitude now. We need to break our steps and go out of synch. Humanity is in distress and calling for more naysayer to control the listing ship before she heels over to the angle of loll and attains natural equilibrium.

Gravity VS Electo-magnetic forces

In an atom there are mainly two types of forces acting,

1. Gravity

2. Electro magnetic force

Pure matter comes wrapped in extremely tight space time curvature, almost an infinite gravity. Nucleus of an atom consists of protons and neutrons which may be considered as particles containing pure matter ( today it is believed that these composite particles further consist of Quarks etc). Within a nucleus, electro-magnetic force(similar charged particles) prevent these particles, protons and neutrons, from collapsing into one another. But still the nucleus has a very close knit of the space-time fabric. Now, the electrons come into picture.

Electrons are basically energy particles and have the Particle-Wave Duality. The electrons are using electro magnetic energy to stretch the tight space-time latex wrapped around the nucleus, which gives required dimensions and body to a nucleus.

26/11 Wikileaks

Big Noise on 26/11 Wikileaks. It's shocking that Indian people and media are shocked by the Wiki revelations.

USA has always shared a special relationship with Pakistan, which may not be out of choice but due to her important place in the Middle-East politics, more so after the disintegration of Soviet Union. China has become the biggest threat and US's enemy number one. Uncle Sam feels, ME must be insulated from China, at any cost. Afghanistan and Pakistan are the two weak links, which must be closely guarded in order to arrest the red army rising. As far as India is concerned, Uncle Sam considers us a harmless non-entity in this Asian Mahjong. 

Coming back to 26/11, Kasab is one of us. One who washed dog-legs and supplied zigromate on ships. Indians must know that we are fighting no one but ourselves. Meri skin teri skin se jyada safed hai. This mentality has reduced us to bloody Indians.

There is strength in unity. India, like China, must recognize her people's power and stop looking here and there for help. I remember following couplet by Iqbal: 

Khudi ko kar buland itna ki har taqdeer se pahle
Khuda bande se yeh poochhe, bataa teri razaa kya hai  

So, India, stop grumbling and move ahead.

Balloon Theory of Universe

Further to my blog of 18th May, 2007  http://sudkjain.blogspot.com/2007/05/life-of-universe.html

Creation of universe

A big bang boom!!! And lo! Time, Space, Matter and Antimatter were born.

Matter and antimatter were produced in equal quantities. Both started destroying each other on contact. At this time, space-time latex divided itself into two identical balloons in a Mitosis division separating matter and ant-matter. Matter and Anti-matter got embedded in the two separate balloons respectively. And then the two balloons started inflating in different planes clear of each other.

Embedded in inflating latex of time and space(gravity), celestial bodies are merrily on their outward journey to eternity, so it seems.

Blowing balloons

The balloons are inflating, that means the space-time matrix is stretching. It further implies that in forward progression:

- space dimensions are expanding.

- time is ticking faster

- space-time curvature is flattening

- gravity is reducing due to increasing surface tension

End of Universe

Something created, must climax and end. Our world is destined to end abruptly at climax.

At some point in time the two balloons would be so overstretched that space-time warp of gravity would be so flat that it will not be able to hold matter or anti-matter. The matter will just free float on the balloon surface and will be free of gravity with respect to each other. In other words, the entire design would collapse and become a liquid mass, just to be sucked in by the blackholes. Finally, the space-time latex will burst away and matter will annihilate the entire anti-matter, leaving just the singular, lonesome energy behind.

To Sir Ken Robinson with Love

Not only the education system but the whole social structure needs to be renewed. We need to scrap the rusting goal posts at the two ends of this ground. Soccer should not be about scoring and winning but a jazzy display of speed and technique.

The eye of the problem lies in setting goals and defining standards. Our close conformity to these protocols has resulted in just bricks in the wall and a whitewashed wall. The current social system has destroyed the most essential element of life, and that is diversity. Life is becoming a stark mono-coloured canvas.

The argument for the system is, motivation. Our actions are motivated by rewards. That's why goals and standards. It would be highly impossible to motivate people in a goalless or rewardless society. And since, the reward has a relative notion attached, defined standards become an integral part of the system.

There could only be one winner. The exercise starts at conception. Out of millions, only one sperm scores in a ruthless competition. Certainly, it would take not only a paradigm shift but a major alteration in our DNA to realize Sir Ken Robinson's dream. Would somebody change the code, please?

the Grand Design

"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players" - William Shakespeare.

From classical to relativity and from relativity to quantum physics, science has travelled a long distance to arrive at what once the great Shakespeare wrote or for that matter what hindu vedas had professed long ago.

Now the science too believes that matter can be created out of nothing, all it needs are vibes emanating from consciousness. In other words, the world is just an individual perception of conscious. It all is nothing but 'maya', an illusion or the Grand Design.

Nirvana - The Great Escape

At velocities close to speed of light, the matter would sink deep into the fabric of space-time. ...and at the speed of light, it would just rip thru the space-time cage and escape to an infinite world.

...and this speed could only be attained by human brain stimulation and not in any Hadron Collider.

Long live Einstein!

What is Outsourcing

Yesterday, watching Obama's outburst against outsourcing on TV, my younger son enquired, "Papa, what is outsourcing?"

I replied, "Beta, everyday in the morning you shout, 'Ma, ho gai. Dhula do', That is outsourcing."

This morning he did not call his mother but washed his own.

Mr. Obama, take a clue. Stop making noises and wash, errrrrr 'wipe' your own.

POMDP

karmany evadhikaras te

ma phalesu kadachana

ma karma-phala-hetur bhur

ma te sango ’stv akarmani (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Two verse 47)

Notwithstanding above preaching from Bhagvad Gita, all our actions have always been driven by result and reward. In fact, the deviation from Krishna's above preaching differentiate living from non-living. The sun, the moon, the earth , rivers, mountains etc. are totally bound to their job without any interest in result of their action and hence their movements are absolutely predictable. On the contrary, living beings are totally result oriented in their actions, thus highly unpredictable in their movements and behaviour.

Yearning for more and a changing definition of result and reward, keep them confused in decision making and leave everybody guessing of their actions in pursuit for reward. Many a times this pursuit takes them beyond the realm of rationality. Yet, the complex human mind finds trends and predictability in weird affairs of the living, specially human. Driven by the reward a man could get by knowing the future course of action of other people, man has been striving hard to develop an algorithm for POMDP policy computation. A mathematical equation to describe complexities of human mind. Sounds exciting! The algorithm is being used to instil life in robots.

But more motivated are the financial institutions, who are desperate to look into the psyche of investors so that they could invest in futures ahead of the mob and make tons of money.

Know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em

Know when to walk away, know when to run.

With 'karma' closely following reward, we are heading into greater chaos. Everyday, stuck in traffic jams, I wish, if someone could write an algorithm to wriggle out of the mess, which is not half as complex as human mind. Yet, the day begins with a bigger jam and the traffic policeman at the crossing, appears to be doing greater duty to the mankind than all those great people, who wrote history and thus this murky future for us.

CWG

True to the name, a dirty, sly game is being played with common man's wealth.

By the way, it is shameful that we still endorse to imperialism and colonialism by continuing our membership with the CW club. It is nothing more than a rude reminder of the sovereignty of one nation over the other member states once upon a time. A confession, worth disclosing only to a priest. 
 
The organization stinks and sucks, so do the games.

A blasphemy against 'no God.'

My belief in God is purely for my selfish consumption. Speaking of self, I am at loss of explaining or relating logic to my actions many a times. Without wrecking my brain on exploring trivial irrationality of my behaviour, I simply owe it to the supernatural. I get 'peace' of my mind.

Science and human logic are far from being whole. The irrationality would exist as long as we are unable to beat light or look through the blackholes. So atheists, keep your frigging faith to yourselves and don't show me the gallows for my blasphemy.

Paint it black

Saying again, human paranoia and phobias have no rationale or base. The necklace of life has lost many a pearls because of such irrational behaviour of man. We are out to destroy diversity and colours.

The fate of Picasso's work is sealed. Our two year old is at work with a big brush and a pale of black paint.

Carry on son.

Privacy Unleashed

They fart, they burp,
They cough, they sneeze,
They smoke, they breathe,
They rot, they sweat.
Goddamn, gotta inhale the same bloody air.
My friends, how on earth is that fair?
Can't you leave troposphere, all for myself,
Without a trace or a smell of thyself?

Bhopal Gas Disaster - Ugly face

Hitler chose death for his crimes against humanity. In contrast we have Ansals, Andersons, Mahindras etc, who belong to a neo breed of  shameless and heartless white robe businessmen who live and let die to the last breath without ever owning their crimes.

To them, common man is just a 'human resource', who's price is a simple derivative of supply and demand. No doubt man has reduced to a resource. And it is the only resource which is growing quantitatively with time. Reason being, it chooses reproduction act as the main source of  recreation.

The system sucks. If it is all 'for me, of me and by me', then how the hell this cheap tag on me? The human species is next to God (or supreme to Atheists). The plight of fellow humans is painful and beyond my comprehension, 'cause in him and them, I see me.

Silver lining is, I am pretty much sure that the day would come when information will come handy and play it's role in 'rise and fall of Hitlers.'

 Taking pride in sibling's lion share of success - a very exclusive and special human trait. We are proud of you my sis.

of Court and Crime

The beauty of our legal system is that it looks upon a crime as a piece of modern art, which may be interpreted in many manipulations.
