I was with office folks, having chai.. I wanted to tell them a dialogue from the movie Wall-Street 2 by Michael Douglas. So I started by saying, there is this movie Wall-Street 2, did any one of you watched?. The answer was negative. The I said "There is this guy".... "ooh I forgot his guy's name.."... "Let me see if I can recollect the name" After some thought.. I remember this movie, Basic

My frequency of blogging has been reduced dramatically.. not the same with my online activity though. Was thinking what might be the reason. Apparently one reason would be my attention span for any give thought (to develop and analyze) has been reduced significantly, which pushed me towards micro blogging..  Never the less, there is nothing like.. a full blog post.

For those you who are interested in ancient sculpture.. there is this place, 11km away from Lonavala.. Karla caves and Bhaja caves (near to Karla caves).

This word generally doesn't come to my mind.. but today.. I feel like saying it multiple times.. for so may reasons,  I don't like the way I work.. and it is a failure! Of late, I realized that it is a pain to resolve the complexities that surround us. It would have been good, if I don't have any stake in the outcome.. me becoming a mere third party to my own life would be awesome.

What keeps you busy and interested in a day-to-day life.. ?? Some food for my brain.?? There is a downside for this.

To put it straight, there are many layers between 'what we are' and 'what others think we are'.. If we are not interested in others' perception about us.. you can skip the rest. But for others.. As humans, we always learn about our surroundings... and the extent depends on our capacity to analyse and resolve things..

I guess, I was in my final year of bachelors when I first heard about CFD.. and my understanding was like.. it is a way to calculate solution for fluid flow equations numerically. With this rudimentary understanding at the back of my mind.. I told my closest one.. that I'm going to join a CFD class.. and the question was why.. ? and what do you want to do with it.. ?and I told like this.. well, I

This is a very simple question to ask. Not so long ago, I used to think what makes people read news papers for such an extended periods of time. What keeps them interested to know about the things which are very loosely related (at least I used to think) to them?Now things changed. I spend almost 3 to 4 hrs a day on reading just news which includes technology, international politics, terrorism,

After almost four or five months of lazying around (excluding office hours)..  yesterday at a frustrating moment, I decided that I would do some thing.. different. obviously some tech-geek stuff.... There aren't much that interest me.. technical side.. I would read a lot of garbage which would apparently not at all useful at this point.. but will give me a feel of whats going on in the world..

Now.. there is a book that I know which states that we don't have free will.. which means what ever decision you are going to take, it was defined by a hell a lot of parameters that came from a deterministic world..  and our body like a lot of things in nature is functioning 'cas of some chemical, electrical and other responses.. We already discarded randomness as not true randomness.. so.. our

If random is not random.. then it implies the world is deterministic..  What a fun to imagine a deterministic world... Let us see.. now some body sometime back.. started (initiated this system) with deterministic dynamics. Since it is a deterministic system it would follow a path which don't have any alternative except to follow the way given by the change equations of the system..In other words.

Entire probability theory depends on this concept called.. "Random event" if you can recollect..For example.. Coin flipping.. Now if you flip a coin the probability of getting head would be 1/2.. but if you clearly observe the number of turns that coin can take depends on deterministic variables like.. the force (or torque) we give it to the coin the and the climate conditions.. Since we don't

(other words.. don't hurt without purpose.... ) Never take anything/anyone for granted.. either personally or professionally.. Believing in situations rather than people makes.. you more practical.Your actions should

.. ever told anyone that I did it for you and you didn't even respond/realise/recognise? There are this things called morals. Even though working in the limits of those doesn't come naturally to us, we impose those restrictions on our actions after the entire thought process. With me most of the times I can't really remember what are the rule when you do certain types of actions. So.. what is the

For the past 10days.. I was getting increasingly frustrated about the way I'm spending my time! I guess it is a sort of life style issue but the only thing kept on coming to mind was "Whats the point in doing all these things?"details of why frustrated, what I'm doing, what I'm thinking.. are too much clumsy right now.. grr.. I guess that is why I'm frustrated.. :D

* This post is not about the news..Every time something happens in India like recent blasts in multiple cities or serious blasts in Hyd I used to think (it was more of a feeling) that our system learns and improves. As I said I was optimistic.It happened again... I could not really concentrate on my regular work. I stuck my face to this monitor for two days.. just continually getting updates. It

Oh my dear.. Its been a long time since we were apart.. and still I felt you were with me..  and finally I felt the inevitable.. and your memories started to fade..There were nights that I never wanted to sleep.. being with you. Now it is so rare to have you in my thoughts..there were no updates from you.. a simple hi and hello now and then...   I know, won't bring you any closer.. I forgot the

The following may connect well the 'ps' of my previous post. In my final days.. of iisc. A group of people gathered in Prof. Ayyappa's lab. I started talking my concerns about my job.. Somehow I was really concerned about the things I would do as my job.. There was an inspiring statement from that conversation.. "The thing that earns you bread and butter need not be the one you are passionate

There is a disadvantage and an andvantage in learning.. the technology first rather than science. (I've included maths into scince)..The advantage is obvious as you concentrate on the situation rather than method so that you look more practical. The disadvantage is also equally appealing.. though you understand the significance of the physical problem at your hand.. you will feel very less about

"We live in a world of incredible complexity. I hope we don't get our minds stuck so deep in our heuristics and simplified modeling that we forget how complex the dynamic, nonlinear and analog reality we exist in is."I read this somewhere on Linus's blog.I've been thinking about this for some time.. My problem is only one thing.. how can we fit this incredibly complex system into a simplified

For almost 10 days.. no information flow through my regular channels. Though I have access to the net, it is giving me enough troubles to make me frustrated :). So no updates here.. Whats happening these days..? Nothing much. I visited my sis's house and stayed there for a day and went to cousin's house.. spent some good time. If you guys ever been to 'konaseema' (in river Godavari delta) you

After spending some good time in Pune.. I, finally, reached my home town. I'm in my, once upon a time, bed room. Eating & sleeping.... thats all!!!PS: my forgetfulness made my journey eventful though...

So.. finally I made it to Mumbai!! And I'm currently in some sort of hotel. The interesting thing here is.. Here in my room, the electric power control is neatly digitalized. That means.. I can operate everything.. from a central location (this is possible without digitalizing..:D) but you can also.. connect to a some kind of processor/control to do some sort of automation.. ps: people are doing

What a coincidence (the word to defy reality).. yesterday I was thinking about my routine routine.. way of life.. and something happened today morning at 4am.. and made me happy :)The key is keep learning, keep thinking, keep talking, keep posting.. ;), and finally keep DOING.what next..??

Though not officially.. today is my final working day here in Duncan. I finished whatever I need to do for the time I stay here. :) But unlike last time, today my mood is not that much elevated. Importance of events is dying down so.. fast now a days.. and to expect some thing to happen every day.. is, yes.. stupidity..  Common krishna.. some times.. routine isn't that bad.

Last time I talked about the nature of my dreams.. Today afternoon I slept. Somehow I got a dream.. The details are like this.. I was discussing something with a Chinese guy about how to design a custom surfactant molecule to enhance the wettability characteristics. The details of this part.. I forgot.. Anyway.. at the end of our discussion, one Chinese lady came. I guess her job is to design an

I don't believe in praying to god. That far I'm sure.. anyway.. the thought started like this!! I was thinking about human eye and as we all know that we took.. too many years to understand the underlying theory!! If we believe that there is nothing called god and everything.. happend through evolution.. then, it is quite amazing the way.. evolution has understood the necessities for sensing..
