Lets start at the start!

This is an early post to direct you to a new story (slowly converting into a novel) which I have started writing. Hope you enjoy the start of the "start at the start" novel.

In fact the regular followers of my blog (who includes me and only me for now) would have realized that this is somewhat like the older post I wrote. I would say to them "Thank you very much for following the blog so intently and yes you are right. That is were this all started".

For others, this is the link to the old post the older post .

Sahi!

Since you are writing it, it would be full of crazy ideas.

We need to move beyond something sleazy and derogatory - as FPS was... (clearly the context is that you both are IITians)

A science fiction is a good choice :)

oh i finally get teh comment!
FPS (five point someone)
Let me assure you ,
this is different in many ways.
First because, the intension is to structure my thoughts and make them readable, not write something that people already know and want to read more about.
But secondly, this would not sell that much.
If you want a comparision right at the start, i would say a mix of george orwell's Animal farm and yann martell's Life of pi.

The ' What if ? ' illusion

As humans, our mere ability to think 'What if?' makes us believe that we are in control. But do we really change things, do we affect the reality. If we do , to what degree? It is said that if a butterfly makes an extra flap of its wings, the reality can change so much so that after a decade a nonexistent cyclone can result.Is it really true? Even if it is, does the butterfly really have a control enough to make that extra flap? Is it really free will or an illusion of free will? A very fascinating example is seen in first person games like Prince of Persia or God of wars and so on.The game makers try hard to give the gamers a feeling that they can do anything in that virtual world. The game programmers know very well though that they can program only a limited number of options. There cannot be more than a finite number of stimulus- response pairs that they would have programmed. Even then, while we play the game we feel that we are in complete control (at least that is the ai

IIM Ahmedabad interview

14th March 2010, IIFT Delhi Morning 8:45 exactly around 28 call getters were divided into 4 panels .Then we were called in for writing our essays. In ten minutes we were supposed to write an essay on "Is banning politicians with criminal records from contesting election violation of their rights?". At first I felt it was a bouncer, so I only had two choices, either duck down and give up or hook. I could not have played a defensive shot. It was a bouncer because I had to be sure that I don't mention any random political proper nouns in the essay which i could be questioned upon later in the interview. so very carefully i put forward two points, in a fairly structured way. Firstly, that in india politicians are looked upon as leaders, and there is a need of immaculate integrity at the top.Secondly, if thousands of citizens' rights are at stake, we can forgo a chance of violating one politician's rights and if he is a true servant, he won't mind it. I thoug
