Its been a while that i din update my blog...!
As i was browsing , i saw a bookmark of my own blog.. Then i thot ,"ok lemme see whts the condition of my blog.. whether itzz still der or not" ( as i din access it for quite a long time..)
To my surprise.. when i got in.. i checked the date of the last post i've posted, it was feb 6 2010.. and today is feb 6 2011..
and then i realised that "its been a while" actually depicted an year...
i really dunno whether it was an anticipation by me .. or just a mere coincidence to reopen my blog exactly after an year..!
whatever it was, i just know a thing.. an year has been passed in this whole process..!! ;)

The Best Conversation Ever...!!!
An Atheist Professor of Philosophy speaks to his class on the problem Science has with God, The Almighty.
He asks one of his new students to stand and.....
Prof: So you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely, sir.
Prof: Is God good?
Student: Sure.
Prof: Is God all-powerful?
Student: Yes.
Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal
him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God
didn't.
How is this God good then? Hmm?
(Student is silent.)
Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fellow. Is
God good?
Student: Yes.
Prof: Is Satan good?
Student: No.
Prof: Where does Satan come from?
Student: From...God...
Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student: Yes.
Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything.
Correct?
Student: Yes.
Prof: So who created evil?
Student does not answer.
Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these
terrible things exist in the world, don't they?
Student: Yes, sir.
Prof: So, who created them?
Student has no answer.
Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe
the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God?
Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?
Student: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student: Yes.
Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol,
science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.
Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.
Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Prof: Yes.
Student: And is there such a thing as cold?
Prof: Yes.
Student: No sir. There isn't.
(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat,
mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold.
Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the
absence of it.
(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)
Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as
darkness?
Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?
Student: You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of
something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light,
flashing light....But if you have no light constantly, you have
nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness
isn't. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker,
wouldn't you?
Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.
To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it.
Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize
where the argument is going.)
Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
(The class is in uproar.)
Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the
Professor's brain?
(The class breaks out into laughter.)
Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's
brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so.
So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable,
demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir.
With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.)
Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.
Student: That is it sir... The link between man & god is FAITH . That is all that keeps things moving & alive.
This student was none other than Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, the Ex-President of India.
I thought this was a pretty good discussion and on an extremely philosophical standpoint, perhaps more than so any other discussion or article you may ever read.
"I agree, people that love science are perhaps obsessed with the concept of duality! "
He asks one of his new students to stand and.....
Prof: So you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely, sir.
Prof: Is God good?
Student: Sure.

Mathematically There is Zero Life in The Universe...!
Correct me if I am wrong but,
There are anywhere from 200 to 400 Billion Stars in our Galaxy alone. Each of these stars has the possibility of having Planets revolving around them.
There are approx 80 Billion Galaxies in the observable universe.
In all The observable universe contains about 3 to 7 × 1022 stars (30 to 70 sextillion stars) Each of these stars again, capable of orbiting planets.
If we are to believe that Planet Earth is the only planet with life on it, intelligent or not (which many people still do ;)) then by rounding off to the nearest whole number which would be rounding down, we we would be forced to arrive at zero.
There is ZERO life in the universe...this means you!!!
So next time you are having the discussion of whether or not there is life in the universe you can tell them no, not even on planet Earth. :D
I have added this Quote from the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy posted by Pazcat which summarizes what it is I am trying unsuccessfully to get across ...
It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.
"Before counting ourselves just think whether we are counted....!! "

Understanding girls aint a big deal..... Its the BIGGEST deal..!!.!
Recently I tried to find out what the greatest men couldn't find ...! I tried to look past a girl's mind.. Rather i can say heart!
What made me do such crazy things is just another mystery but whatever I did made me thank the god a cent more than I used to earlier as I found the biggest mystery is not the building of Pyramids , nor the construction of Stonehenge or the Bermuda triangle..
I later understood that the earth-shaking mysteries are just among us is every place, every point .. rather in every aspect of out life.. They are Women in general and Girls in particular.
Few of the basic things Understood by me included the following thesis...
1) When a girl says she is fine, she is never fine.
2) When she says she is comfortable, She is not..!
3) When a girl touches her hairs often , it means she has done champi ( massaging the hair with oil) the night before.
4)When she rolls around a single point, she is lying.
5) When she often keeps her hand on her chin, it means she has done some new nail paint or glitters.
6)When she says she is single, she never means that.
.
.
(the list will go on)
In short , we should interpret the girls mind in the antagonistic way.. ( not always.. as they say truth sometimes.. don't look for me when u mess up!!) .
The points I cited are just like picking a couple of words from a dictionary. Yes.. if u fall into the ocean of understanding a girls psychology, even god will think twice before trying to save u..!
I just went till a foot deep until piranhas finally caught my legs.;)
What Universal truth I found out was girls are always honest to there best friends ( gender doesn't matter). They keep the promise and share everything that they can seldom do with their parents. Yes, they even take what the friends say seriously and try to prove them wrong. Thats what we call a challenging nature right ?
One of the famous quote:
"A guy and a girl can be just friends, but at one point or another, they will fall for each other...Maybe temporarily, maybe at the wrong time, maybe too late, or maybe forever."
--------Dave Matthews Band
Another important aspect is never ever break a promise to a girl. It may have serious effects on her mind state. It is better not to make any promise to avoid aftereffects when failed to deliver the promise..!
Girls hate lies. So never lie to a girl. Even if your hearts beats for one of your closest friend , Just tell her that you love her instead of locking it in your heart than regretting for the whole life.
Dont think that asking her will spoil your relationship instead asking her will make the world see a beautiful relationship. Just go ahead ...! If she is your best friend she ought to understand you.
Dont fear..! Be Audacious..!

Different kind of teachers in my life...Part Deux
So after a long struggle... I finally completed my Xth with 85 %.
Now the biggest aim was to secure myself a place in either of the reputed colleges in the city.
After consistent long runs from one college to the another , I finally made into a good college , that too not far from my residence.
The first teacher came to our class started teaching biology after a brief introduction about herself. She was in her 40's , long hairs, clear face. She was wearing a crisp Cotton Saree.. To tell the truth, I didn't like the lecture as I experienced that sitting in the college was a different aspect than sitting in school.
The lecture went on and on and on...! ( School lecture duration was 35 min while in college was 55 min ) . Thats it ! It was the first and the last time I ever sat for her lecture... ( Attendance wasn't taken till our batch because students used to prepare of Entrance exams sitting at home)
Sorry to say guys, I still don't remember what she taught or how she taught.
( you cant judge a teacher by her first lecture, can u? )
He was tall , dark in complexion ,neatly combed hairs with his usual white shirt and black pant.( Dont imagine him to be a character in MEN IN BLACK !! ;) )
He taught us maths. I started hating maths for the first time in my life. Yes ! Thats true.
His main drawback was he used to solve the very first sum in the chapter which was like a cake walk and expected us to solve the rest that was supposed to be difficult even for him I suppose.
He never interacted with the students. Just came to the class, did his job of writing numbers in the board and foooooooooo ! He was gone...
Strange teacher ...!
The English madam was short and healthy. She was very very strict. I still remember her insulting my friend for not knowing his mother tongue . She is from South India with a very good blend of English cum South Indian accent...!
She was strict with her attendance which made me sit for her lectures. I really wonder how I sat for that 55 min. Einstein's Theory of Relativity acted perfect for her lecture.
" 55 min was like 5 days ..! "
I still see her few times on the road, I tend to hit the gas rather than having a pit stop.
We friends used to play football in between lectures on the basket ball court of our college. After playing we used to run for the lectures and knock the class door 15min late and still we were taken inside by our Hindi teacher. This guy was very versatile teacher. Thin , wheatish complexion ,very long hairs for a male teacher. He told us all those stories that was out of our syllabus. The stories were practical and political . It was put straight by him and to my surprise his predictions came true. One of that was the logical prediction of Ms. Pratibha Patil becoming the President of India even before she contested elections.. Yes he analysed politically and was true.
Recently heard he was promoted. God Bless him !
Practical and straightforward people excel soon, dont they ?

Dreaming our way
Dream is a semi-conscious state where we have absolutely no control over our thoughts and expressions (unless we master lucid dreaming).
Did you know that most of us spend six years or more of our lifetime dreaming? Research proves that all of us dream at least twice or more in our sleep though we may not remember when we get up. In 5 minutes of waking, half of our dream is forgotten and within 10 minutes, almost all dreams are forgotten. People who are blind from birth too dream. It is just that the dreams of these individuals are formed by other sense such as the touch, smell, sound and taste.
During roman era some dreams were even discussed and interpreted in the senate as the dream was considered to be a God sent message for the mankind. Lucid dreams are considered those dreams where person can take full or partial control of their dreams.
Most important fact in order to be aware that we are dreaming is practice. Writing down and keeping track of your dreams is very important. Second thing is noticing signs or triggers that can help us stay aware that we are in dreaming state. Once we start dreaming lucidly we could control the imaginary experiences in the dream environment. This is extremely important for people that have nightmares.
Interesting facts is that our body is paralyzed during our sleep probably to prevent the body from acting out dreams.

Different kind of teachers in my life...Part Uno
I always had an habit of observing people , their style , their body language etc. This wasn't just an observation but in my earlier days but I tried to imitate them too (Its a natural human tendency to imitate others though..) . This habit of me somewhat made a mimic.
I didn't take any special efforts to master this art but it was something easy for me. I still dunno why I am comfortable with mimicry than with writing papers...! ;)
Coming to the theme of this post , I have seen many kinds of teachers who try to put something they know into the empty bucket of the students..! Yes they try their level best. But its we students who ignore them at least once even if he/she has been practicing this art of teaching over decades , don't we?
The first teacher in my list was my 6th standard class teacher. He used to teach us Marathi . He was supreme in his subject.This guy was good to those who always stick to him and accept his sayings as biblical.
Half of the lecture used to go in hibernating, the rest was spent in hearing his advice , the complaint regarding a particular student about a mistake that he had committed years back..! He used to remind us of our mistakes committed in 6th standard even in 10th ..! His memory was equal to current 10GB SD RAM..
GOD CURSE HIS MEMORY...!!!!
The next on the list is my 8th standard English teacher. This guy was a lunatic. After coming to the class his main job was to look for a prey. The student who makes an eye contact with him will be seen with scars the next day ! He had plenty of reasons to thrash one. I still didn't know whether he came for teaching or wrestling..! The lecture used to go in silence as none of us knew the technique of defense. I was good at English at that time so he couldn't break my morale.
He thrashed my Benchmate and warned me as we were giggling when was in action with some student. I kept myself cool at that instant as I used to fight those days for what we call now as justice...!
Keeping in mind the virtue of forgiveness .. I forgive him.
The 9th and 10th class geography teacher was simply a bluff. Half of the lecture was spent in making the students believe what he said. Ya he was professional in it.
His stories include an house in Karnataka ( Kerala in other divisions , Andhra in some class ..) where natural gas fumes out of an house. People residing there used that gas to cook. ;)
A beautiful place he went but never knew the name.
Seeing an artificial Mansarovar in Pakistan, riding a scooter with his wife in the pillion seat in 12 feet of water.. etc etc. were his superhit stories :P
His imagination power was awesome..!
We never knew the actual chapter name till the very end..
"He could be a good grandpa one day to narrate such sagas to his grandchildrens "
History teacher came to our class , read the text-book aloud used to go away. I dont know whether she really liked that subject because her presence was never felt. Though she tried her level best , she could never do full justice. The students who concentrated well came out with flying colors but for others... no need to tell. I loved history so somehow my track record was good.
For maths, I didnt really expect a good teacher , but our teacher was fantastic. She was a South Indian full of brains. She put the habit of solving sums on our own without the reference books. Her teaching made the whole class concentrate right on the topic as she used to check anyone's book at anytime or call a random number to solver the sum on the board. Though she never insulted anyone for his/her mistakes but the students used to feel the guilty. She was mesmerizing, I really thank her for her prolonged efforts in making me learn what I wished to.
P.S : This post was not to point out the mistakes of my teachers but to share my experiences with them..!
Wear my shoes ... you can understand me..!
I didn't take any special efforts to master this art but it was something easy for me. I still dunno why I am comfortable with mimicry than with writing papers...! ;)
Coming to the theme of this post , I have seen many kinds of teachers who try to put something they know into the empty bucket of the students..! Yes they try their level best. But its we students who ignore them at least once even if he/she has been practicing this art of teaching over decades , don't we?
The first teacher in my list was my 6th standard class teacher. He used to teach us Marathi . He was supreme in his subject.This guy was good to those who always stick to him and accept his sayings as biblical.
Half of the lecture used to go in hibernating, the rest was spent in hearing his advice , the complaint regarding a particular student about a mistake that he had committed years back..! He used to remind us of our mistakes committed in 6th standard even in 10th ..! His memory was equal to current 10GB SD RAM..
GOD CURSE HIS MEMORY...!!!!
The next on the list is my 8th standard English teacher. This guy was a lunatic. After coming to the class his main job was to look for a prey. The student who makes an eye contact with him will be seen with scars the next day ! He had plenty of reasons to thrash one. I still didn't know whether he came for teaching or wrestling..! The lecture used to go in silence as none of us knew the technique of defense. I was good at English at that time so he couldn't break my morale.
He thrashed my Benchmate and warned me as we were giggling when was in action with some student. I kept myself cool at that instant as I used to fight those days for what we call now as justice...!
Keeping in mind the virtue of forgiveness .. I forgive him.
The 9th and 10th class geography teacher was simply a bluff. Half of the lecture was spent in making the students believe what he said. Ya he was professional in it.
His stories include an house in Karnataka ( Kerala in other divisions , Andhra in some class ..) where natural gas fumes out of an house. People residing there used that gas to cook. ;)
A beautiful place he went but never knew the name.
Seeing an artificial Mansarovar in Pakistan, riding a scooter with his wife in the pillion seat in 12 feet of water.. etc etc. were his superhit stories :P
His imagination power was awesome..!
We never knew the actual chapter name till the very end..
"He could be a good grandpa one day to narrate such sagas to his grandchildrens "
History teacher came to our class , read the text-book aloud used to go away. I dont know whether she really liked that subject because her presence was never felt. Though she tried her level best , she could never do full justice. The students who concentrated well came out with flying colors but for others... no need to tell. I loved history so somehow my track record was good.
For maths, I didnt really expect a good teacher , but our teacher was fantastic. She was a South Indian full of brains. She put the habit of solving sums on our own without the reference books. Her teaching made the whole class concentrate right on the topic as she used to check anyone's book at anytime or call a random number to solver the sum on the board. Though she never insulted anyone for his/her mistakes but the students used to feel the guilty. She was mesmerizing, I really thank her for her prolonged efforts in making me learn what I wished to.
P.S : This post was not to point out the mistakes of my teachers but to share my experiences with them..!
