It is actually beautiful, as beautiful and incredible as how the million stars don't fall into one another even when gravity is the only force present. The fact that the society is still running 'smoothly', in spite of the presence of radically different people, that are a part of it, is incredible. The magnitude of its awesomeness can be grasped better , if you realize that in every 200 years the society is virtually new (as a human can barely live up to a 100 years) , composed of no individual from the olden society. Yet the society is apparently the same. I know it changes. But come on, you still brush your teeth, take a bath, grow up, want to earn money, earn money, repent wanting to earn money, never repent earning money and do all the things that your father's father's father's father's father's father's father did. So, anyways, my point is that society plays a crucial role in sustenance. And by society I mean the mass. The majority of the soc

Indians have long confused respect with "not doing disrespectful jobs"! I don't want to bias this thought further by explaining it more. Moreover, I don't have any example in my life to support this strong statement strongly enough. But I want you to think about it for a moment, at least, and longer, if you will to. An anecdote: P4 batch (where batches ranged from P1 to P5 and then Q1 to Q5 each with a decreasing 'calibre') at Bansal Classes Kota. It was a maths class. The topic was 'Logarithms' (The first chapter). Teacher was Siddharth Premi. We were 'discussing' a tutorial sheet on log. It would be better if i write it like this Tejesh(thinking to self) : I am from State board I know nothing as compared to these people from CBSE SP: So any doubt in question 1? (no reply) Tejesh (thinking to self) : O god! please somebody ask the doubt in the second question. How dumb it would sound if I ask the first doubt. If to no one else, it would pro

Few things make my hairs stand on end (like when A.R. Rehman goes slightly higher the lasttime, as compared to the other times , when he goes 'Vandeeeeeeeee Mataram' in his song "Maa tujhe salaam" ). Few make my face blow like a balloon, as if I am trying to contain all the tears that are produced inside it, and then finally they start leaking through the orfices of the eyes.I cry like a baby (The last 3 minutes of Persuit of happyness) Some make me laugh my stomach into a daylong pain while some titillate me and make me hug myself... yet this is something which I experienced for the first time. A bit of everything. I understand the word 'Mesmerise' now! let yourself feel. from Esteban Diácono on Vimeo .

Is it only the words or is it something deeper that, when we refer to the time when British rule ended in India, we call it the time when "British Left India" ? But when Americans talk about the end of British rule in America. They say that it was when "We got independence" I am not saying that we don't use the words "We got independence " off and on, what i am saying is that America never uses "When British (or French for that matter) Left America".

They say the Process is more important than the Product . I take a particular case of this generic adage to say Preparation for entrance exams is more enriching than the actual college education . Particularly I have learnt more (academically) in the 2 years of Bansal (Kota) than in 4 years of IIT. And I don't know about IIMs or whether I would make into one sometime now, but I am sure that the preparation for CAT is enriching me.Here I share with you one of the things I am learning. I, having read lots of novels in the past 5-6 years, thought that my reading speed was fairly good. When I wanted to boost my morale, one day, I told myself why not find out how much actually my reading speed is? I did and shocked myself with mere 130 wpm (words per minute). To give a perspective an average reader has a speed of 250 words per minute (or did it say average American reader , but how does it matter). I was not and never will be satisfied with average. After all average means neither good

The appearance, algorithms, applications, competition, market, revenue earning methods, time to load etc. for the different search engines like Google, Bing and even Wolfram Alpha, may be different. But what unites them is their metaphysics. Try searching 'answer to life the universe and everything' in either one. Their calculators come forward with the answer "42" which, according to the original proposer, was a random number which came to his mind when he looked out of his window and he thought that it would be a good joke. Douglas Adams says that there is nothing special about the number and that even if there is, he did not mean it that way. But this has not stopped people from coming up with theories. After all why only 42, why not anything else like 32! I thought if there was really this game going on about making useless hypotheses, how can I not participate? After all, this is what I am good at! So I jumped in. 42 is a decimal representation of the more fundam

Out of the many optical illusions I have had the honour to see through books, stumbleupon, mails, t-shirts and all the other places they have found home, I like this one the best for a single reason. The others cause a slight optical illusion, I mean if you know that the two circles are equal , or the crooked lines are really same...then you can easily convince yourself that they are.This one is different. Try convincing yourself that the orange spirals are really not spirals but circles. Cannot do it right?Oof course you cannot because they are really spirals. Anyways how about convincing yourself that the blue and the green spirals which you see, are actually of same colour! :) Hint: After you have tried to look with one eye, two eyes, three eyes...printed it , inverted it...and done all sorts of things with it, try the colour picker in paint. Start>Accessories>paint>coloupicker!

I found these class of software which help us draw our mind and present it effectively. I must sayy they are not obviously what exactly they aim or boast to be, but surely are little helpful in the stated direction. I used Edraw Mind map V4 and here is the first thing I started drawing. I found them good for putting down possibilities. They are also good for things like first draft of novels and projects and for time planning etc. etc. So all in all a decent find.
