Draw your mind


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.

Its nice considering the various options it has.. However it follows a process of putting in intriguing keywords and simulataneously formatting. Would have been better if it would have allowed putting all the data first and then all the organizing.. May be this will be more useful for my presentation of data rather than thinking itself..
Onenote allows you to put in the datya 1st and then organize it..though it doesn have so many format block..so think in onenote, format in edraw..that ll b a better solution

ya rightly said,
this is good to present your initial draft, but not that good for thinking aloud!

Mind maps are the best thing that I have found in last few years, except my girlfriend.

PS: Try handmade ones, they offer far more possibilities.

I did not get what do you mean by hand made ones. Do you mean like drawing using pen on paper, by learning some techniques? Ya that would be worth a try!

yes,paper and pens 3-4 colours...
i have tried many softwares for mindmaps including mindmanager which is considered the best one. But nothing gives flexibility like handmade ones. though it does take more time and more than one iteration to get it perfect.

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
