A 62 year old slow learner

I'm sure all of us are acquainted with the term "slow learner". Being a slow learner by birth is to no one's blame. She/he is just a slow gifted child. But when capability and intelligence is in over whelming proportions, a negligent attitude would result in being a slow learner and this outcome is absurd and inexcusable.

The slow learner I'm taking about is not a child, woman or man but it is congregation of very capable citizens to make up the so called "cradle of human race" - "India".

This picture brings back into memory the stories we have read in school and the tales told by our elders and kindles a small flame of patriotism within us. To see or hear of the great freedom fighters and leaders of our country who martyred themselves for freedom of the country is very Nobel idea. But how have the later generations really used this freedom?

Of whatever little I have seen in the world, i choose to conclude that, "We, Indians, have not participated in the growth of this country after the freedom struggle". The only country i have visited outside of India (Malaysia) acquired it's independence 7 years after us, is now home to 1) the worlds tallest twin towers 2) the worlds longest multi-purpose tunnel and 3) the second biggest collection of casinos (Las Vegas being no. 1... obviously). Let me share with you an incident that occurred; An Indian was stopped at security check in an airport in Canada and the officers presumed that he was a terrorist ('cos he was Indian). In reply to their accusations, he said, "How did you confuse me to be a terrorist? I'm an Indian. Terrorists hate America but Indians hate each other". (some of u wud know who i'm talkin abt... Its Russell Peters for dos who don't)

I don't mean to strike a cliché discussion here, but it is something i felt is worth addressing. Clearly, we cannot change over night but an effort from the younger generations would do no one bad. The Mangalore Molestation, Fraudulent Intellectuals, burning of property at chance mob gatherings may be news topics for a couple of weeks, but it VERY VERY CLEARLY SHOWS WHAT THE MENTALITY OF PEOPLE IS LIKE.

I propose a dream, just as the Americans have "The American Dream", I would sincerely advice people to have an "Indian Dream" wherein, Indians 1) care for fellow Indians 2) strive to achieve success 3) care for the environment 4) help the nation help you.

India needs about half a dozen "Obama(s)". Lets step up and have an "Obama" in everyone of us.

Hope i din sound boring.... it is something originating deep inside me... :)

Style... Illustrated

/* pls don consider to be an official blog... somethin i'm writin for fun... */

Three things a guy (a dude) should always keep in mind at any point of time in a day:

• What brand of clothes he is wearing, down to the very innermost
• How much cash he has in his wallet
• And, how much cash he can manage to get in the following few days to come.

these, and probably some more stuff like: what the back of his head looks like and how good the taste of a black forest is (yumm... :) )

What is life without style? It would be 100% redundant and boring with everybody acting, looking and behaving in the same way. Style of a person is, in essence, her/his identity. By style, I don't mean: showoff or freakin deck yourself in fancy wear - (i'm glad i mentioned this... looking at the response i got frm my earlier blog... 'MC' would appear in 6/10 sentences... :) ). Style can be the manner in which you talk, listen, sit, stand, walk (unable to think of more... shouldn't hav mentioned "black forest"... yumm... :) )

Anyway, I'm sure you guys get the picture of what exactly i mean by "a person should be stylish."

The three things i mentioned above, I'm sure most guys would be using it by now (oh! come on!!!)

See you soon... :)

Maturity Coefficient

inspiration: Barney Stinson (How I Met Your Mother) LoL:)

when we look back in time and think about the day we met a friend and think about how she/he was, in terms of attitude and gnyan, and then we see a difference in their qualities now, we tend to gauge things like what changes we can expect in them in the following years to come or how (kinda choosin the rite word here...) sensible they are now. And i personally feel that the future of this relationship partly depends on this difference.

Being the programmer that i am, i cant help but think of this difference in people as a simple integer. Let's look into what i call :

(sound_of_thunder)

"The Maturity Coefficient"

(sound_of_evil_laugh)


i paint quite a picture, don't i?
LoL:)

Let's assign the MC of a new born baby the value 0. And as the baby grows, she/he learns enormous amount of wisdom, either by self-experience or in case Indian society experience of the care takers. this growth can be perceived as an increase in the value of MC (not in any progression viz., AP,GP...). MC is time dependent. the value of MC may increase or remain the same with the increase in time. This change in MC can only be understood if the time difference is large (as in: a year or more). when we assign a value for a person, taking the day you met as reference, and assign a probable value for her/him taking the present configuration of the relationship in mind, and figure out the difference, we can fairly judge the person and predict the health of the relationship in future.

The significance of MC and this 'out of the mind, completely loony theory' will probably come into picture when you understand this load of crap and you are probably a year or more into the relationship.

I have a couple of friends whose MC difference is negligible. Not to judge these people or anything, but, I'm not very impressed by them (boo me). on a more serious note, i believe MC is quite accurate and has proved it's word in many instances of my life.

Please don use this on me... ;)
Take care fellows!

Hello World!

Hey folks! Allow me to express my train of thoughts and share with you - my take of the world and my perspective of life. Some of the subjects i'd like to talk about are: Formula-1, Crazy theories which i cook up in free time (usually in college), my experiences and stuff like that.

well, here goes nothing...
