The Zero Run

I ran past the crowd and ran,
In process, faster than I knew I can

There were twists and turns I liked to take,
but hurdles doubting if I'll ever make.

Then suddenly, one day, I am alone but best.
unthinking continuing the sprint sans rest

There I see again, the losers, I had left behind,
On shock, then reflection, its re-loop not rewind

I shiver on realization; the absence of aim is cold,
but the warmth of the view of this cycle is gold!

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

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.
