old stories to learn from

This December, everyone from our family( By family i mean my great grandfather's, all the sons and daughters,who in turn with their sons and daughters, and who again in turn with their sons and daughters, and for some of them who have, in turn with their sons ! ) was invited to Bombay for rashmi didi's marriage and then everyone came to Nagpur for nhana dadaji's 75th birthday.It was a grand function. As is the case with these functions we all gathered a night before, to talk talk and talk.Everyone had so much to say and so many people to talk with.Especially i, living away from my family for 6 years of studies, was too overwhelmed to meet everyone. So ya,we talked and i felt very lucky to be able to hear stories of past from my grandfathers and ter sisters, who all have the following in common- too many stories to share and too good a way of telling them. Some of them i mention here, others are fr me to know. Subhadra dadiji told this one- "When we were young ,say abou...

parallel universes and Dreams

how we move from one universe to another. transfering energy in fact accounting for the energy we are held responsible to . so logically steps are followed.. now in dreams no logic we see a random parallel universe. something related to these points. will think and write

Saturation!

technology dependent on database. larger the data, more the experience more the information more is the technology.. so far so good ...but in future will this excess information...all-things-are-proof-in-writing history..this database overload...lead to a saturation in technology growth.. will think and write.just putting the idea here.

found something interesting on the net - BENFORD's LAW

Fun (and Fraud Detection) with Benford’s Law Benford’s law is one of those things your high school math teacher would break out on a slow, rainy day when the students’ attention span was even lower than usual. He’d start out by asking the class to look at the leading digits in a list of numbers and then predict how many times each leading digit would appear first in the list. The students would make some guesses and eventually come to the consensus that the probability would be pretty close — about 11% each. Then, the teacher would just sit back, smile, and gently shake his head at his simple-minded pupils. He would then go on to explain Benford’s law, which would blow everyone’s mind — at least through lunchtime. Per Wikipedia : Benford’s law, also called the first-digit law, states that in lists of numbers from many real-life sources of data, the leading digit is distributed in a specific, non-uniform way. Specifically, in this way: Leading Digit Probability 1 ...

awesome non transitive dice

© Copyright 2003, Jim Loy Here are four interesting and famous dice. They are known as non-transitive dice, or Efron's dice. Here is the game we play with them. You can choose any die (singular of dice) that you want, and then I will choose my die; we roll our dice and the higher number wins. Which die would you choose? It turns out that it doesn't matter which one you choose, I will win 2/3 of the time, you will only win 1/3 of the time (in other words, I have a 2:1 advantage). Does that make sense to you? Whichever die you choose, I will choose the one immediately to its left. If you choose the left one, I will choose the right one. The logical way to see if one die beats another is to list the 36 possible outcomes, like this: 4 4 4 4 0 0 3 * * * * 3 * * * * 3 ...

a brief history... by a human cell...addressed to the fellow cells

Lets go back to a time when we were animals ,even more back when we were small unicellular organisms. At that time we were dispersed, not colonized, even the concept of a colony was not known to us.We were one, single entity. Our existence continued because of ourselves. Nobody helped us and we helped nobody. We traded with mother nature regularly. She gave us useful nutrients, we did some of her work. Many things we are doing today in this nation called the human body are what we learnt then. Like initially we did not even have the concept of an entity. So we defined what an entity is and then we defined borders. Just for fun, one day , one of our forefathers thought Say everything inside this membrane is me. Eventually we started developing a feeling, lets call it the EATY feeling ( E verything outside is to be A ttached T o Y ourself). We then learnt how to pass the outside particles inside our body. We were on fire in defining things on that day. And we did a good job. We take tho...
