A Sudden Outburst of Common-sense

2009-07-02T11:13:00.005-04:00

My belief in the Indian Judiciary is bolstered further. Though it took 8 years of litigation, in one swish of the hammer a repulsive and utterly ridiculous law(section 377 of IPC) has been read down. India has further reclaimed its original flavor, a Land of true equality, a Land of true freedom. India has shaken cleaner of years of domination by the narrow values of foreign culture. We have

Secularism of India

2009-06-29T12:30:00.011-04:00

Existence of secularism in the fabric of a country's constitution is always indicative of an advanced culture and a logical coherence in the definition of a nation. India had adopted (forced!) a brand of secularism when her constitution was drafted 60 years back. But, the Indian brand of secularism is rather peculiar. It does not seek an equality by removing 'religion' as a factor while dealing

Revolution of the Mass

2009-04-19T21:31:00.006-04:00

This fragment of engagement of my thoughts stemmed about two and a half years back. I got my new desktop at home, and rented Gharey Bairey, a Bengalee movie, directed by Satyajit Ray, based on Rabindranath Tagore's 1915 work that goes by the same name. It is set against the backdrop of the Swadeshi Movement, it posed a very novel question : Is a 'nation' ready for a revolution, even if it meant

Weapons of Future?

2009-04-03T04:14:00.023-04:00

Einstein had once remarked that "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."I had often wondered about the nature of a third world war. Gedanken experiments, given the constraints of world politics, is an interesting activity. Over the years it has been becoming increasingly clear, that conventional warfare, such that we

Though my substantial computer education has been through strong doses of open source and Richard Stallman, I feel indebted to Mr. William Gates III.3 days after he quit his legendary Microsoft.Mr. Gates through his Microsoft gave us humans a lot to feel happy and indebted. Whatever may be his motive, he's a visionary, who has contributed laudably to the human society at large and is still doing

Puzzling Forbes List

2008-06-30T20:02:00.000-04:00

I was having a look at the Forbes list of world billionaires, and to my great surprise discovered 4 Indians sitting tight in the top 10 list!What is this world coming to? If one goes by numbers, there are only 2 U.S. guys, Buffet and Gates (as usual), Carlos Slim, a Mexican telecom magnate, followed by a train of the 4 Indians: Mittal, the Ambani brothers and KP Singh, then comes a giant each

The Indian Civ in AOE III

2008-04-05T00:47:00.000-04:00

This one is special, very special to me. The Asian Dynasties expansion marks the entry of a serious Indian component in RTS games. My personal opinion is that its awesome, all RTS lovers and specially the AOE freaks should try this. Microsoft has done an excellent job this time.So what are the key points of the Indian civ?First and most importantly look out for a rush. This civ is extremely

Of late I had been searching for ways I could include equations in the blog, to make it more scientifically relevant for such future uses. The following is what I found : 1. One can convert the expression into a typical picture ( png/jpg/tif etc ). You can find it here. 2. You can go here. This one is more direct in the way that you can actually type in the LaTeX code in your blogger

role of media in civil/political unrest

Recently I came across the case of a certain Kashmir Singh, who was recently released from a Pakistan prison. He's an Indian who was detained for suspected espionage. Well that is not clear though, the crux is that he spent long years in Pakistan prison, which is believed to be tormenting experience for Indians. Apparently this guy claimed in a press conference that he was working for

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear--not absence of fear. Except acreature be part coward it is not a compliment to say it is brave; it is merelya loose misapplication of the word. Consider the flea!--incomparably thebravest of all the creatures of God, if ignorance of fear were courage.Whether you are asleep or awake he will attack you, caring nothing for the factthat in bulk and

In this experiment they put eight monkeys in a room. In the middle of theroom is a ladder, leading to a bunch of bananas hanging from a hook on theceiling. Each time a monkey tries to climb the ladder, all the monkeys aresprayed with ice water, which makes them miserable.Soon enough, whenever a monkey attempts to climb the ladder, all of theother monkeys, not wanting to be sprayed, set upon him
