Delicate Sound of Thunder

My typical diet during the day

2011-04-20T05:34:00.000-07:00

Morning
Glass of full fat milk with protein powder and small amount of bournvita

During the day
1 - apple, 1-orange, 1-sweet lime, few pieces of watermelon/papaya
Half a fist full of almonds and walnuts

Evening (at around 6.30)
Two boiled eggs

Dinner
Boiled cauliflower, cabbage, onions with cottage cheese and a cup of curd
or
a bowl of sprouts, one cup of cabbage/beans
or
assorted vegetables baked over a layer of cheese

Yet to assess the amount of carbs, protien and fat. This is definitely yielding results

Physical activity
two rounds of golf during the weekends

How to succeed with the Primal Blueprint

2011-04-19T03:42:00.000-07:00

This is an article by Mark in his blog www.marksdailyapple.com and I thought I should share some of the excerpts

You’ve defined the “what”. If your goal is to lose weight, build muscle, increase energy or just generally look and feel healthier these graphics explain the basics of the “how”.

The Primal Blueprint Carbohydrate Curve

What’ll It Be? The “Sweet Spot” or the “Danger Zone”?

Carbohydrate intake is often the decisive factor in weight loss success and prevention of widespread health problems like Metabolic Syndrome, obesity and type 2 diabetes. These average daily intake levels assume that you are also getting sufficient protein and healthy fats, and are doing some amount of Primal exercise. The ranges in each zone account for individual metabolic differences.

0-50 grams per day: Ketosis and I.F. (Intermittent Fasting) zone. Excellent catalyst for rapid fat loss through I.F. Not recommended for prolonged periods (except in medically supervised programs for obese or Type 2 diabetics) due to unnecessary deprivation of plant foods.
50-100 grams per day: Sweet Spot for Weight Loss. Steadily drop excess body fat by minimizing insulin production. Enables 1-2 pounds per week of fat loss with satisfying, minimally restrictive meals.
100-150 grams per day: Primal Maintenance zone. Once you’ve arrived at your goal or ideal body composition, you can maintain it quite easily here while enjoying abundant vegetables, fruits and other Primal foods.
150-300 grams a day: Insidious Weight Gain zone. Most health conscious eaters and unsuccessful dieters end up here, due to frequent intake of sugar and grain products (breads, pastas, cereals, rice, potatoes – even whole grains). Despite trying to “do the right thing” (minimize fat, cut calories), people can still gain an average of 1.5 pounds of fat every year for decades.
300+ grams a day: Danger Zone of average American diet. All but the most extreme exercisers will tend to produce excessive insulin and store excessive fat over the years at this intake level. Increases risk for obesity, Metabolic Syndrome and type 2 diabetes.

The Primal Blueprint Food Pyramid
For effortless weight loss, vibrant health, and maximum longevity

General Guidelines: 80% of body composition success is determined by diet. Limit processed carb intake (hence, insulin production), and obtain sufficient protein and fat to fuel and rebuild.

Protein: Average .7 – 1 gram per pound of lean body mass/day – depending on activity levels (more at times is fine).

Carbs: 50-100 grams/day (or less) = accelerated fat loss. 100-150 grams/day = effortless weight maintenance. Heavy exercisers can increase carb intake as needed to replace glycogen stores.

Fat: Enjoy freely but sensibly for balance of caloric needs and high dietary satisfaction levels.

Avoid Poisonous Things: Conventional Wisdom’s dietary guidelines promote fat storage, type 2 diabetes, inflammation and obesity!

Eliminate: Sugary foods and beverages, grains (wheat, corn, rice, pasta, breads, cereals, etc.), legumes (soy and other beans), trans and partially hydrogenated fats, high-risk conventional meat and produce, and excess PUFA’s (instead, increase omega-3 oils).

Modern Adjustments: Some modern foods that Grok didn’t eat can still be included in a healthy diet

Moderation: Certain high glycemic fruit, coffee, high-fat dairy products, starchy tuber vegetables, and wild rice.

Supplements: Multivitamin/mineral formula, probiotics, omega-3 fish oil and protein powder.

Herbs, spices and extracts: Offer many health benefits and enhance enjoyment of meals.

Sensible indulgences: Dark chocolate, moderate alcohol, high-fat treats.

The Primal Blueprint Fitness Pyramid
For functional, diverse athletic ability, and a lean, proportioned physique

In short, following the food pyramid, the carbohydrate curve and understanding of the required physical workouts will lead to an extremely healthy lifestyle, an energetic body and a sound mind!

Back to writing after 5 years

2011-04-18T01:09:00.000-07:00

I know it has been a real long time since I wrote something. Looking back, things have changed a lot for the better. The last five years have been an amazing time learning new things, growing professionally and growing more as a person.

Now that I have decided to start writing again, there are few key things which I would like to write about. Most of my posts will be related to one of these topics.

1. Entrepreneurship and starting up - the last few years have been spent in understanding how businesses are created, how they evolve and what great entrepreneurs are made of. I have spent time as a founding team member of a startup which grew significantly in numbers and people till the recession decided to consume the whole organization. More about my professional profile here

2. Online businesses, e-commerce, payments and retail ecosystem in India - Most of my experience has been on payment systems, value added service delivery, e-commerce, new devices ad telecom systems. I will be writing about the exciting world of consumer payments and emerging business areas

3. Golf - I started playing golf from June 2010. This game has completely caught my attention. Thanks to Pankaj Sharma and Siddharth Kapur, my interest in the game has been completely high. I have managed to transform myself from a beginner who misses the ball while swinging his club to driving 250 yards consistently. Additionally, I have also managed to play several courses in Delhi NCR - Noida Golf Course, Qutab Golf Course, Air Force Golf course at Chanakyapuri and the Air force Golf course at Hindon. My 9 months of golfing experience included 2 months of rib injury due to excess practice. Finally managed to reach a handicap of 18.

4. Primal Living - Recently introduced to me by my dear friend raj, who writes here, the primal way of living has definitely improved my energy levels, my body composition and I'm sure in a very short while, it is going to lead me to a good lean body structure. The original practioner of primal living has written several articles most of which I am in the process of reading here. The beauty of what Raj has done is taken the primal living fundamentals and applied it to the the Indian context. What he will be about to unravel in the next few years will lead to a billion Indians leading a healthy lifestyle.

So I wrap up my first blog after 5 years by setting the context that I hope will start being informative and a good read.

Cheers

Along life's path --some crap dished out

2006-10-23T10:15:00.000-07:00

The ups and downs , the twists and turns
Paths unwinding to infinity.
Carrying surprises along,
some happy some not.

Life warns us of losing something,
warns us time and again.
With incidents changing us,
changing the very self we were,
to adapt to its whims and fancies,

But sadly man realizes ,
these warning signs.
Stays connected to mortals,
fellow men and seducing fairer ones.
All that matters is the journey,
So love and let love go.

When we two parted by Lord byron

2006-01-30T00:54:00.000-08:00

When we two parted
In silence and tears,
Half broken-hearted
To sever for years,
Pale grew thy cheek and cold,
Colder thy kiss;
Truly that hour foretold
Sorrow to this.

The dew of the morning
Sunk chill on my brow--
It felt like the warning
Of what I feel now.
Thy vows are all broken,
And light is thy fame;
I hear thy name spoken,
And share in its shame.

They name thee before me,
A knell to mine ear;
A shrudder comes o'er me--
Why wert thou so dear?
They know not I knew thee,
Who knew thee so well--
Long, long I shall rue thee,
Too deeply to tell.

In secret we met--
In silence I grieve,
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive
If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee?--
With silence and tears.

rotating algorithm cipher....

2005-08-25T02:54:00.000-07:00

well this is something I came up when I was pissed drunk last weekend. I know it might sound greek n latin... but ive tried to simplify the algorithm.

imagine a set of encryption algorithms say {a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i}

Lets assume there is a master program that would execute one or more of these algorithms.

assume a disc... let a,b,c sit on the disc. let there be another disc. let d,e,f sit on that one. let there be a third disc. let g,h,i sit on the third disc.

lets say D is the data to be encrypted.

let at time t=0 let disc one start to rotate(whcih means the master program would keep executing algos a,b,c in a time varying fashion)(i could make things complex by including a statement that let the time be influenced by a function...but lets leave it as it is)

lets say after time t = 10 the disc two starts rotatiung ano0ng with disc one. now the maser program operates on the data with two algos... i mean a,e... b,f.. c,g...and so one depending on the relative positions of these discs....

similarly let the third disc also start rotating after say time t = 20 and then the master program would play with 3 algos at a time..one from disc one....two from disc 2 and the third form disc 3...

so the data would be time varying...encryption would become time varying...and the decryptor...first has to knwo about the configuration of the discs... and then synchronize his disc with the encryptors disc... and finally decrpyt the data.

Remember...

each algorithm has its own keys and operational complexities...

this is what i call a rotating algorithm cipher...

end of it.... i cant think where i started ;)

Complex human mind and the existence theory

2005-08-08T00:13:00.000-07:00

Have you ever wondered how powerful your brain is. I mean i personally keep wondering about it all the time. Although I am not an biology expert, I always keep thinking of the algorithms that make you live.

I prefer calling them the survival algorithms. I would like to categorize them very broadly as Learning algorithms, Recognition algorithms,and interpretation algorithms.

I am actually surprised at the power of the human mind. Although Scientists all over the world have proposed theories about various aspects of perception..thought...and what not. I would like to give my view on the entire human existence which would probably link the spiritual aspect...(those that were believed to exist ) and the scientific aspect (those that have been proved to exist).

I believe that all creatures on this earth follow a particular equation. And one firm thought is that the number of organisms in this world has always been constant. Well yes i know what ur thinking...your thinking i am a fool..well let me explain. I feel that when the world came into existence there was soemthing that happened that triggered the first living organisms on this planet. and then this kept on growing for ages till it attained a saturation point. Now from that point onwards the number of living organisms have been constant.

Well i dont have statistics to prove that these many tigers dies last year and these many babies were born...and also i would like to leave the part before number of organisms on this planet attained saturation to the other creative thinkers in this world to prove.

See each species has its own characteristics.. its own abitlities , its own communication protocols...its own way of survival. But there is one thing thats common to all species...thats life...let us for now assume its some kind of a battery that powers the entire living system. Let us assume that life is a horizontal in the living systems structural hierarchy. And all species are verticals.

My theory is that the species live a life...and then shift to some other organism and continue to live their life. the mind has various layers. the first layer would be that of the present life. your entire functional system would use this layer for all its data access and decision making. This is the layer that has helped you learn recognize and survive. this is the layer that you realize when you are concious. Now below that is the sub concious which you will not be able to relate to. but some triggers and commans and signals keep arrving from the sub concious to the concious person. none of us speak it out..we just call them intution.

I also believe that by some techniques you could definitely access the sub concious layer. below the subconcious layer is the most protected and guarded layer access to which is not easy. this is the layer that has information on past lives. Our human mind knows everything. We are not sure how to access this data. Although few techniques like hypnotism and regression have proved that this layer of the brain could be accessed.

I also believe that when you die, they say that the soul has left the body. In the sense I would like to put it as the soul( the battery) has been removed from the system and now it exists some where else with the memory of your life zipped...compressed...encrypted..and kept into the sub councious alyer of some other living organism in the world. But remember it exists !!

Let love go - R.L.Stevenson

2005-07-19T01:59:00.000-07:00

Let love go, if go she will.
Seek not, O fool, her wanton flight to stay.
Of all she gives and takes away
The best remains behind her still.

The best remains behind; in vain
Joy she may give and take again,
Joy she may take and leave us pain,
If yet she leave behind
The constant mind
To meet all fortunes nobly, to endure
All things with a good heart, and still be pure,
Still to be foremost in the foremost cause,
And still be worthy of the love that was.
Love coming is omnipotent indeed,
But not Love going. Let her go. The seed
Springs in the favouring Summer air, and grows,
And waxes strong; and when the Summer goes,
Remains, a perfect tree.

Joy she may give and take again,
Joy she may take and leave us pain.
O Love, and what care we?
For one thing thou hast given, O Love, one thing
Is ours that nothing can remove;
And as the King discrowned is still a King,
The unhappy lover still preserves his love.

Is Astrology true?

2005-05-28T21:25:00.000-07:00

This is an issue i've been wondering ever since I saw what they call "panchangam" in our communities. Its a chart that has all the planetary positions at the instant u were born. Based on that astrologers could fortell the way ur life is gonna shape. Well at first thought i would say this is absurd. But looking at the things written and the way things have shaped, anyone in my position would say its true.

If astrologers know how that planetary positions affect the way you live, what have scientists done about it. These scientists have tried to verify the astrologers' claim and i guess the reason they're keeping quiet is that probably even they believe in it. I would like to asociate a different angle to it. If planetary forces control human existence on planet earth why havent we been able to relate it as to how. What is the missing element?

Why is match-making so popular? How do they try to associate two charts and speak of its compatibility? does it mean that the entire human race is bound by certain patterns of life formed by the permutations and combinations of the planetary positions?

The worst thing that happened off late was this - my parents tried something known as the "olai chuvadi" or rather " naadi josiyam". All you have to do is that you give ur thumb imprssion and name. and based on that the person would pick up an olai chuvadi (for those who dont know what olai chuvadi is...these are ancients writings on leaves about lots of things) and well guess what....its written in that as to what my grand ma's name is...what my grandpa's name is...and plus loads of stuff about my entire family. And you wouldnt believe it...RECORDS OF PREVIOUS BIRTHS...now this is something i did not believe. But somebody gimme a reason why I should not.

Is my life based on the patterns formewd on my thumb. Have these patterns got to do anything with the planetary positions?

I am still not convinced...

Gazing at the stars few minutes back...the entire incident flashed in front of his eyes...certain words certain people uttered...certain things that just flashed .the things he had achiheved...the nights he slept in a 10* 10 ft room....was he a failure or was he not...a question that kept racing in his mind...his creation was in front of him...he cherished what he saw..loved it...but something in him said that the child was heading in the wrong direction...he had to do something...he spoke...spoke like he had never spoken before....convinced that the mindset was changed...time passed....he was about to leave...it was time he handed over his child to someone...he trusted them..he liked them...he never told them he did..he never told them he admired them...but he cherished at the way they took care of his child...that was him...finally the day came when they said goodbye...the moment was nostalgic.,..evry moment he spent with the child flashed in front of his eyes....the day when it started walking...the day when the baby wanted to run...the days when we carried it on our shoulders....the baby was rich...it had loads of money...and also people who wanted to take care of the baby jus for the money...we never cared...we loved the kid...for what it was...we wanted to keep the kid away from all these people who wud bring the kid to shame...its probably my last word ill be speaking to the child in person...

Campus Interviews...

2005-01-20T12:25:00.000-08:00

Well I know I have not been blogging enough but well there is a reason to it. I need to have some content and Neuron was damn slow.

This season the campus scenario was not as good as last sem. The comapnies like TCS and INFY which were the hopes of getting into the software industry for many civil chemical and mech students took only 24 and 15 students respectively. basically because of corporate ego clash. Wipro was gien the slot before these two companies and they took 115.

loads of other companies also came and took 1/2/3/4/5 whatever..and ORACLE took 15 people. Well on a personal front the first company i attended was TI..and the apti was literally a bits digi and analog quiz with negative marking and hence explains the reason i didnt get shortlisted..plus i didnt have the X factor(CGPA >9.0)...well the next company i wrote was HUGHES...I had 1.5 Hr of techincal interview. It was awesome. finally made it into huges.

Waiting for the second round to begin.

My experiences with Jv

2004-12-28T01:04:00.000-08:00

In the past few weeks I have been reading lots of poetry thats why maybe I thought I should blog few of them and so I did. There were times in my PS when my mind used to be full of variables and methods and classes and Trees and Tables and Renderers and what not.. A day did not begin without going throught he topics on forum.java.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumid=57
I would look into new issues coming up in Java Swing. Try answering some of them (...although i have'nt got any dukes so far) and try catching up with my own design.

Today seems different to me. Let me first explain why I came here. Ever since my second yr second sem I was caught in a beautiful world of images called Vision and IP. Did plenty of project work and must say I have done quite a bit of research in the field and have also submitted an international paper. This was May 2004. When I knew I was coming to DaimlerChrysler my happiness knew no bounds. They had an amazing research group. I was all geared to work in there.

July 4th I land at DaimlerChrysler Research and Technology India. Few days later after the rigourous orientation sessions we had..finally the list of projects had been finalised. I find myself in front of a Compaq Machine with Eclipse IDE open. Yes, they had put me into the sofware division on a live project because java developers were the need of the hour.

I was dissappointed. But definitely being adaptive, tried to love what i had. But initially I was into testing. Well I know the very word would bring out the yuckiest expressions anyone would have got. Well I felt the same...I was just here physically. But my mind wandered into imagining what a loser I was sitting in front of the Eclipse IDE. But I did not have an option.

Well phase one of the project was over and in phase 2 I was made a dveeloper. Well there is a certain pride in saying it when you have been in a testing team for over two months. Then I started to explore the world of Java. I almost fell in love with it. It is such a beautiful programming languages ever discovered. I should say that James Gosling must be given a nobel prize for it. Well in the year 2004 4.5M developers and 1.5M devices use this technology (thanks to Ratish for the blog site of James gosling... :)) ..now thats a whooping number.

Since I always complained that I needed some amount of research involved in the job i do...my Project manager asked me to design a very complex user interface design. He told me that it wasnt easy and it was upto me to get this design working. Well must agree it was a bit tough. But once you get your fuindamentals of Java right..i.e about how java draws its components..what are the methods it uses..what are Trees and Tables and how are they rendered and how are they edited and how to handle events...well if these things are ok then i guess what I did was pretty simple. But what i figured out was that most java developers know little bit about most things but not most thing about one particular thing.

Well thats my love story with java. Came in as a research guy and go out as a hard core sofware developer. Last two days at DC. I know I've learnt lots...but as i said..Java is an ocean..and ocean where you wont repent if you were drowned. I did'nt ..;)

Inpire me !

Even thousand words cannot sometimes inspire a person, but some other times it just requires few....

"If you don't go down in history you didn't exist!"

To see a world in a grain of sand

and a heaven in a wild flower,

hold infinity in the palm of your hand

and eternity in an hour.

Divine Image....William Blake...

2004-12-19T22:20:00.000-08:00

Cruelty has a human heart,
And Jealousy a human face;
Terror the human form divine,
And secrecy the human dress.

The human dress is forged iron,
The human form a fiery forge,
The human face a furnace seal'd,
The human heart its hungry gorge.

She walks in beauty...Lord Byron..personal favourites

2004-12-16T03:33:00.000-08:00

She walks in Beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which Heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

Lochinvar...by Sir Walter Scott...personal favourites

2004-12-16T03:29:00.000-08:00

Oh! young Lochinvar is come out of the west,

Through all the wide Border his steed was the best;

And save his good broadsword he weapons had none.

He rode all unarmed and he rode all alone.

So faithful in love and so dauntless in war,

There never was knight like the young Lochinvar.

He stayed not for brake and he stopped not for stone,

He swam the Eske river where ford there was none,

But ere he alighted at Netherby gate

The bride had consented, the gallant came late:

For a laggard in love and a dastard in war

Was to wed the fair Ellen of brave Lochinvar.

So boldly he entered the Netherby Hall,

Among bridesmen, and kinsmen, and brothers, and all:

Then spoke the bride’s father, his hand on his sword,

For the poor craven bridegroom said never a word,

‘Oh! come ye in peace here, or come ye in war,

Or to dance at our bridal, young Lord Lochinvar?’

‘I long wooed your daughter, my suit you denied;

Love swells like the Solway, but ebbs like its tide

And now am I come, with this lost love of mine,

To lead but one measure, drink one cup of wine.

There are maidens in Scotland more lovely by far,

That would gladly be bride to the young Lochinvar.’

The bride kissed the goblet; the knight took it up,

He quaffed off the wine, and he threw down the cup,

She looked down to blush, and she looked up to sigh,

With a smile on her lips and a tear in her eye.

He took her soft hand ere her mother could bar,

‘Now tread we a measure!’ said young Lochinvar.

So stately his form, and so lovely her face,

That never a hall such a galliard did grace;

While her mother did fret, and her father did fume,

And the bridegroom stood dangling his bonnet and plume;

And the bride-maidens whispered ‘’Twere better by far

To have matched our fair cousin with young Lochinvar.’

One touch to her hand and one word in her ear,

When they reached the hall-door, and the charger stood near;

So light to the croupe the fair lady he swung,

So light to the saddle before her he sprung!

‘She is won! we are gone, over bank, bush, and scaur;

They’ll have fleet steeds that follow,’ quoth young Lochinvar.

There was mounting ’mong Graemes of the Netherby clan;

Fosters, Fenwicks, and Musgraves, they rode and they ran:

There was racing and chasing on Cannobie Lee,

But the lost bride of Netherby ne’er did they see.

So daring in love and so dauntless in war,

Have ye e’er heard of gallant like young Lochinvar?

...
For I will consider my cat Jeoffry.
For he is the servant of the living God.
Duly and daily serving him.

For at the first glance
Of the glory of God in the East
He worships in his way.
For this is done by wreathing his body
Seven times round with elegant quickness.
For he knows that God is his saviour.
For God has bless'd him
In the variety of his movements.
For there is nothing sweeter
Than his peace when at rest.

For I am possessed of a cat,
Surpassing in beauty,
From whom I take occasion
To bless Almighty God.
For the Mouse is a creature
Of great personal valour.
For this is a true case--
Cat takes female mouse,
Male mouse will not depart,
but stands threat'ning and daring.
If you will let her go,
I will engage you,
As prodigious a creature as you are.

For the Mouse is a creature
Of great personal valour.
For the Mouse is of
An hospitable disposition.

For the flowers are great blessings.
For the flowers are great blessings.
For the flowers have their angels,
Even the words of God's creation.
For the flower glorifies God
And the root parries the adversary.
For there is a language of flowers.
For the flowers are peculiarly
....

For H is a spirit
And therefore he is God.
For K is king
And therefore he is God.
For L is love
And therefore he is God.
For M is musick
And therefore he is God.
And therefore he is God.
For the instruments are by their rhimes,
For the shawm rhimes
are lawn fawn and the like.
For the shawm rhimes
are moon boon and the like.
For the harp rhimes
are sing ring and the like.
For the harp rhimes
are ring string and the like.

For the cymbal rhimes
are bell well and the like.
For the cymbal rhimes
are toll soul and the like.
For the flute rhimes
are tooth youth and the like.
For the flute rhimes
are suit mute and the like.
For the bassoon rhimes
are pass class and the like.
For the dulcimer rhimes
are grace place and the like.
For the clarinet rhimes
are clean seen and the like.
For the trumpet rhimes
are sound bound and the like.
For the trumpet of God
is a blessed intelligence
And so are all the instruments in Heav'n.

For God the Father Almighty plays upon the harp
Of stupendous magnitude and melody.
For at that time malignity ceases
And the devils themselves are at peace.
For this time is perceptible to man
By a remarkable stillness and serenity of soul.

All About Love....

2004-12-09T05:34:00.000-08:00

" ...love has to be so,
involving and general,
particular and terrifying,
honoured and yet in mourning,
flowering like the stars,
and measureless as a kiss." - Pablo Neruda

Celia: "Oh Charles?a woman needs certain things. She needs to be loved, wanted, cherished, sought after, wooed, flattered, cosseted, pampered. She needs sympathy, affection, devotion, understanding, tenderness, infatuation, adulation, idolatry?that isn't much to ask, is it Charles?" ?[Barry Took and Marty Feldman, Round the Horne, BBC Radio, 1966]

Thus love can make us disregard most defects and deficiencies?even when, as Shakespeare said, we may still be aware that we?re seeing them:

WHEN my love swears that she is made of truth,
I do believe her, though I know she lies,
That she might think me some untutor'd youth,
Unskilful in the world's false forgeries.
Thus vainly thinking that she thinks me young,
Although I know my years be past the best,
I smiling credit her false-speaking tongue,
Outfacing faults in love with love's ill rest.
But wherefore says my love that she is young?
And wherefore say not I that I am old?
O, love's best habit is a soothing tongue,
And age, in love, loves not to have years told.
Therefore I'll lie with love, and love with me,
Since that our faults in love thus smother'd be.

We similarly deceive ourselves not only in our personal lives but also in realms of abstract ideas. Listen to Richard Feynman?s words:

"That was the beginning and the idea seemed so obvious to me that I fell deeply in love with it. And, like falling in love with a woman, it is only possible if you don't know too much about her, so you cannot see her faults. The faults will become apparent later, but after the love is strong enough to hold you to her. So, I was held to this theory, in spite of all the difficulties, by my youthful enthusiasm."? 1966 Nobel Prize lecture.

"Love thyself"
-thats me

Five Point Someone

2004-12-09T01:45:00.000-08:00

Finally I found the patience and the time to read a book. Having read it I thought why not write a review. And here it goes...five point someone..

As the name and the byline suggests, it was a story if three friends at IIT. From the word go the book has attitude written all over it. The book speaks of three friends Alok, Ryan and Hari(the author) who have different backgrounds and have walked through the gates of IIT after having clearing one of the most toughest entrance examinations in the world.

In the very first page the author conveys a clear message to his friends who would be in some corner of the globe that its his version of the story and if they have anything to say they might as well pen down their versions. One interesting characted that I was particularly impressed int his book was that of Ryan ..the cool dude. He was a guy who was this typical boarding school product and had been away from his parents for most of his life. He was tall, smart and of course handsome. It was a perfect display of guts when he breaks a coke bottle and threatens to stab the senior if he doesnt go out of his room during freshers. His character is an intense one if you get into the intricacies mentioned in the book. It shows that since his parents put him in a boarding school he started hating them. He never used to reply to any of their letters. For him friends were everything. He could do anything for them...from taking Alok's dad to the hospital at night even after he stopped speaking to alok for over an year...to mixing vodka and rolling joints. He knew how to have fun.

Ryan displays an amazing sense of creativity when he questions his mech prof about a bench press being a machine and still does not make workout easy. His heights of craziness can be seen when he makes a radio during their final lab practicals with the components given for their experiment...and alos when he suggests that hari take a few shots of vodka befiore he goes for his viva as it may dissolve the fear of speaking...to stealing the final mech paper from prof. cherians room.

Well he just rocks. And there is also this amazing story of hari and neha. Neha..wondering who...she is hari's princess and prof.cherian's daughter. Wow what a way to greet her happy bday in the middle of the night. These guys help hari jump into her room through her terrace without getting caught and hari gives her a rose. Great idea hun....guess who's?..of course Ryan.

over all the book was fun to read...and since I am also staying in a hostel in my college i was able to relate to the book....great piece of work...although some people felt the ending was bad...well i dunno i felt it was normal...and it had to be normal.

Funny but interesting ...!

He was an innocent kid uncorrupted by the forces of evil existing on planet earth. His mind was pure and his actions had no motive. Every night lying down on the terrace of his apartment he would gaze at the sky. Gaze at them with a sparkle in his eyes, with a hope that one day, he would be able to reach to them.His mother told him that above all existed god and every time he gazed at the sky it would be with the intention of meeting god. He was fascinated by nature. He loved to watch the water droplets fall from the sky when it rained. Nature gave rise to doubts in the mind of this innocent child. Questions remained unanswered in his mind.Years passed by and he did all routines as a normal boy of his age would do. Innocence had left long ago. He knew what the world was and what was needed to survive. He admired beauty. He developed a passion for knowing more people. He was very outspoken. He made lot of friends. He started becoming responsible. And then developed an urge in him to achieve, a desire to conquer the world, a fire in him that refused to cease. He could not stand defeat. He could not forget an injury caused to him and saw to it that the person who had injured him has been injured in return. He was the most caring person for those who cared for him. His thoughts were far beyond the imagination of his friends. He was a brilliant student.He loved thinking about serious things in life. He paid attention to the intricacies of life. His mind was muddled with thoughts about life and people. He admired beauty in its every form and felt that beauty was at its best in a woman. In his quest for beauty, he met a girl whom he thought had something for him. He felt a magnetic attraction towards her. He knew he had a challenge ahead. And without much effort he won her heart. He felt being on the top of the world. He felt as though he had reached the stars he used to gaze years back. They spent lots of time together getting to know each other well. Shared their common thoughts, argued over uncommon ones and became good friends. In the process he always had a question. Where was he heading? Was this his dream? He had no answer. But he always felt that he wasn't happy with the relationship.Time passed by as it wouldn't stop. Slowly he realized the change in him. Changed for the better? he had no answer. He felt as if he has drowned deep into an ocean of water. He felt lonely. He felt like talking to someone, he couldn't. He wanted to break away from the confusion, he couldn't. He wanted to escape from the world, he couldn't. Was it her? he had no answer. He felt as if the biting cold water deep under the ocean had frozen him and his brain to death.He decided that he has more to offer to the world than to the girl. So he broke up with her. They parted as friends and he is still in touch with her.His life had a new beginning. He felt as though he was reborn. He had new ambitions, new ideas, and the vitality in him to achieve them. He rediscovered the fire that had been suppressed in him for long. He had the drive and the motivation. He could see success in front of his eyes. He saw a new ray of hope that came out of his self-realization.That day he went upto the terrace of his apartment, looked up at the stars and said "Run away! For I shall reach you and bring you down to earth. Success is mine and I shall have it. "That was the last he saw of the stars, for he realized that success is about satisfaction of one's self. And he was satisfied.

Laloo Prasad Yadav talks to his son.

Laloo: I want you to marry a girl of my choice
Son : "I want to choose my own bride".
Laloo : "But the girl is Ambani's daughter."
Son : "Well, in that case...... Yes"

Next Laloo approaches Mukesh Ambani

Laloo : "I have a husband for your daughter."
Ambani : "But my daughter is too young to marry."
Laloo : "But this young man is a vice-president of the World Bank."
Ambani : "Ah, in that case.....Yes"

Finally Laloo goes to see the president of the World Bank.
Laloo : "I have a young man to be recommended as a vice-president."
President :"But I already have more vice-presidents than I need."
Laloo : "But this young man is Ambani's son-in-law."
President : "Ah, in that case.......Yes."

CAT gone to the dogs...

2004-11-23T01:02:00.000-08:00

Four months ago, listening to a B-School Grad who had been paid to let us know of the pros and cons of doing an MBA from the IIMs, made me think whether I should go in for an MBA. He was successful in convincing me that it is worth giving a shot at CAT which is considered to be one of the toughest management entrance exams in the world.

There began a journey....a journey of compromises, time management, regularity in classes, continuous revision..a journey which made me dream. Dream of all the things beautiful and bright that these small compromises in life could bring. The dream also carried with it a nightmare...a nightmare of uncertainity..a nightmare of competing with 150,000 students..and most of all a nightmare of failure.

"Everything about CAT is uncertain", said another tutor who was handling a workshop on strategies for CAT. How uncertain is the question. I did not believe him until the morning of 21st Nov 2004, when I was sitting in a classroom filled with dreamers like me, and the CAT paper was distributed. Uncertainity was as uncertain as uncertainity could be. The whole pattern had changed. Less number of questions, increased complexity, uncertain negative marking,...you name it .

The moment I stepped out of the hall I knew I had lost it. It was a bad feeling. I felt like I'm in the middle of no where. I felt like a loser. I have never felt so bad in life.

It took me two whole days to recover form the shock. I have recovered and am a better person now. It was told world over that CAT 2004 was tough. I was'nt bothered. Somebody told me the solutions were out ...I didnt bother. Two days later ....48 hrs of solitude ...Im feeling betterand I'm a stronger person ..I know how to handle failures.

As somebody had rightly said..

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams"

CAT 2005 ...I'm back

Is it time to bell the CAT ?

2004-11-06T02:24:00.000-08:00

Its november and its time for every individual (I'm sure there are more than fifty thousand of them) to take the most coveted management entrance test in India....Common Addmission Test(CAT). A dream for most graduates to get a boost in their career or so to say to earn a few lakhs more. Is it really worth it? Lets see...

After your graduate studies , the urge to add another tag behing their names for the sake of...money...marriage..career..god knows, makes a person's life so confused ( i am not an exception). Confusion began in June when those institutes with their flashy ads and attractive statistics wanted me to enrol myself into one of their programs. All those marketing brains sitting in the AC rooms in offices of these institutes literally sweat it out to get people in.

I visited the office of a a very popular institute. There was a lady who asked me to take seat and wait till the previous guy fell for her trap. I was looking around the place and saw a magazine rack full of business magazines. I just picked up one of them to while away time. Was reading through it...till the moment she gave a sweet smile. She smiled as if she saw a 12 thoudand rupee demand draft stuck on my forehead.

She first enquired about my background and the course I would like to enrol myself into and stuff like that. She was pretty smart to pass on a form for me to fill up my contact details. I spoke to her for about an hour and at the end of my discussion she had convinced me that in four months from now I would be entering the gates of the top Business schools in India with an admission letter.

It seemed pretty simple in the beginning. All you have to study is Class ten mathematics and a good knowledge of verbal and analytical skills. "Is it all that simple ?" I asked myself but let the next four months answer this question.

I got my regular dose of class room coaching and study materials which ideally you are supposed ot do at home. Well I really felt like asking myself do you really wanna do it? I didnt have an answer as future was as uncertain as uncertainity could be.

I figured out that I had to battle it out against 2.5 lakh other people for the most coveted 1000 seats in the IIMs...What does an IIM give you....brand name...money...lifestyle...well although there is nothing more you could ask for in life...does it give you self satisfaction? does it do justice to the four years of Bachelor of Engineering honours in electrical and electronics from BITS pilani.....? Well form what I could see most people who choiose to do their MBA from the IIMs sacrifice their graduate degree and end up doing financial analysis and marketing.

Well I am not saying an MBA does not help you. well it does. If money and lifestyle are the only things that you want from an MBA from the IIMs...then there are hazaar ways of getting it....and MBA is not your destination. And what criteria are you tested on to enter into one of the top B schools in india...Simple math and English..and a GD and Personal interview...well thats not enough...

Once in class there was an instructor...himself an IIM -A Grad(pretty proud at that)...who put up a question to the students..."Why do you wanna do an MBA?"...not a soul had an answer..."Whats do u wanna do after you do ur MBA?"....same silence...well that moment...I realized a truth...I am working towards an aimless future....I am studying for an examination that would get me an admission into an IIM...but why do i wanna do it?...or what do I wanna do after that?...I seriously didnt have an idea. That was the time when I realised that 99% of the 2.5 lakh fools in this country had no answer.

a person who wishes to be a future leader...a person who wishes to transform the existing Indian society into an economically sustained developed country through entrepreneurial activity ...a person who has a dream in his mind...a vision...a person who would make india's name shine in the top conglomerates in the world...and one who is a wild animal will be tamed by the education at IIMs....his dream will take shape...he will gain a new perspective to achieve...that should be the kind of person applying for an MBA...

Now that I have realized I have started to dream...dream about what I want to do...whether or not I wanna do an MBA...and well honestly speaking I hope this self realization matures into a beautiful dream.

Well Asthma in....

2004-10-08T03:12:00.000-07:00

yesterday evening when a truck went past me blowing every single speck of dust on the road onto my face, i knew....Asthma had to come soon...It didnt take tong before I had my first series of coughs...well i felt as though my lungs were dancing at satan's tunes...satan was happy...I knew nothing about what was happening to me...and what should be done...Apprehensions in my mind about consulting a doctor...the fear of him finding out my problems..

I went home and tried having something warm for my throat...i knew i had an asthme attack...and i did not have an inhaler...or rather havent used it so far..one of my friends said..try this..and u'llm be alright....the way a baba would offer dope to a guy who is craving for ecstacy...i took it from him...and he taught me how to use it...it was called asthalin...i took one puff of it...and my cough ceased..and I was feeling better..

The next day one of my friends told me to take another inhaler caller aerocort...im yet to try it...well humans are'nt only addicted to drugs...they are also to medicines...especially...nothing can save a dying asthmatics life more than a puff of Salbutamol...

Block...sometimes i feel like killing myself !

2004-10-07T06:54:00.000-07:00

Well inspired by my favourite senior, I started blogging. Everytime I think of wrinting a blog, I end up in void space. Even this time I guess this is the fourth line I'm typing in a span of 20 minutes. Well, thats the block.

Every time I start writing, the very first thing that sucks up my time is the Title, or rather the subject of my blog. I dream about writing about my favourite topics like music that would trancend me from reality, how individual pieces of noise would combine to produce ethereal music, how I dream of cooking, my fantasies in the wee hours of midnight, my experiences in a remote village in Rajasthan called pilani, my treks, my travelling adventures, my idea of beauty, the thoughts in solitude, brain waves in romance, the conflicts in my mind, the BIG question on my future, my passions in life, the percieving the world through a pair of lenses, birdwatching (a great salim ali fan...?), my love for liquor, et al.

And then I'm caught in an ocean of topics where I struggle to choose one. And then when I'm done (Its almost an hour), I start typing. Then comes the guy who would rather kill me than stay with me...Mr. Block again.

And so I decided I give a tribute to Mr. Block...and hence the blog.

By the end of this blog I think now I know what to write and how to....

Thank you Mr. Block...Defeating you was a great challenge.

The Big Bang in bangalore

2004-09-30T01:51:00.000-07:00

Its been three months here in bangalore. It is a wonderful place and the climate is awesome throughout the year. Come weekend and all party animals are out on the streets.

Ask anyone from Bangalore what they think about this city, and in all probability, the answer will be "the best city in the world". Everyone has a different reason to love this city, which leads India in technological and cultural development. Today it is the fastest growing city in Asia with a burgeoning population of nearly four million. It is a city for all seasons. Come any time of the year - Bangalore is beautiful. Take a stroll in evergreen Cubbon Park spread over an area of 500 acres dominated by the imposing granite building, the Vidhan Saudha, the public library, a childrens park and an aquarium are located here. Adjoining it are the government museum and the industrial and technological museum. Or take a leisurely walk around the Lal Bagh the 250-acre botanical gardens laid out by Hyder Ali and Tipu. Sultan over 200 years ago. Here a magnificent Victorian style glass house where flower shows are held twice a year, August and January.

The uniqueness of Bangalore can be attributed to the open minded progressive nature of its citizens. It is a true melting pot of different people, cultures, and languages. Bangalore is probably the only city in India in which you will hear Kannada spoken as much as Tamil or Telugu or Hindi. The city is also home to some of the most high tech industries in India. As a result of its cosmopolitan nature, Bangalore attracts people from all over India and is among the fastest growing cities in Asia.

Bangalore has a moderate climate throughout the year due to its elevation (1000m). It is also blessed with a large number of lakes and parks within the city. The nature loving citizens have planted many trees along the roads which has enabled the city to maintain its green looks despite its rapid expansion. Bangalore is therefore aptly called the "Garden City."

Its been three months and I've loved every moment spent here....
