Meanings and Definitions 2008-03-10 02:22:46
Everyone knows what a definition is. A definition is an effort to put down the
meaning of a concrete or abstract object in the world in concrete terms, in
order that there may be no confusion about what is meant when we use the word or
symbol that stands for it. An ideal definition rigidly pins down the object it
has to define, so that the definition becomes a single and unmistakable way to
refer to, or find, or check your knowledge of the object concerned. A
definition’s purpose is to remove all vagueness and all subjective aspects about
the meaning of a term, and to put forward a most objective description, so that
the meaning is the same for every last man, or maybe machine, that comes across
it.
How concrete is this system really? If you think about it,
there are some te Read more:Meanings

The Vapour 2008-03-16 02:12:00 There
are little unseen tendrils of vapour around you. Yes, now. Look around. No, I
didn’t say you’d be able to see them. But they are there. They coil slowly
heavenward and return with the rains. They crawl over the wet rocks, float low
over the breathing grass after the rain, slip down beaver holes and accumulate
in comfortable shadowed corners.
I saw them two years back, midnight, across the highway on an empty
patch of grass. It was a sort of misty smoke, arising slowly from the wet
earth, hidden but for the occasional truck throwing its passing halogen glare
over this mysterious substance as it thundered across the highway. It was
beautiful to see this living fume, waving gently over the top of the dark
grass, almost inviting.
I know what it is. It is nothing, and it is all. I k

Blood, Gore and Me 2008-03-21 01:35:46 This
post will be about me, so if you aren’t really interested, you may skip it.
Now, whatever is the reason for taking the time and effort of
writing a post and starting with a line like that?
Well, the reason is that I don’t like talking much about myself.
This has germinated from a dislike of persons who like to talk about
themselves, either openly or subtly (half an hour through the talk, you start
realizing that this person is only talking about himself or herself).
The fact is, I may say that I don’t like talking about myself, but
maybe I actually do. There are so many traits in a person’s character that are
invisible to him but quite plainly visible to others. These things fall in the
Blind quadrant. I’ll tell you about that later. Anyway, so I know that there’s

The Face 2008-03-25 01:44:11
There is this face
cream for acne that sis uses. There's a picture of a girl with that satin type
of skin on the cream:
This picture is also
on the paper box this thing was in.
Now, there's this another thing that she uses to darken her eyelashes. It's a curious
little pencil type of thing, only very thin and brittle (I know, because I've
already broken one of hers). Maybe they call it an eyeliner, or mascara, or whatever. Anyway, it's very
sticky and you can use it on any type of surface. Only thing is, it's meant to
come off easily.
So there's a girl's face looking pretty
on the paper box, and there's this tool. And there's me.
If you call these three x, y and z, then after about ten minutes, x + y + z
gives:

What I think of academic talk 2008-04-10 02:46:12 Suppose
we have a system (A) of linear equations.
Suppose it defines all possible orientations of a particular
magnetic field in space, under certain conditions.
Suppose some of these orientations satisfy a second set (B) of linear
equations, where n(B) ≤ n(A).
Suppose we take the two systems A and B and the magnetic field and
reduce the three entities by way of a 2/3 dimensional
conversion to obtain 2 entities which may be systems or physical phenomena.
Suppose we take these 2 mathematical and/or physical entities,
clearly define the point of discontinuity between them with the help of a set
of unrestricted operation (gapping) rules, hence obtain 2 disjoint entities,
reduce their dimensions to about 4π (sq.
cm.) X 10 (cm.) right-circular cylinders, and stick them up your nose.

Thoughts 2008-04-17 02:43:23 The only thing that’s missing in this gift of life is an essential
ingredient: a constant reminder of how precious it is.
But is life precious only because we are living?
Then I woke up. Suddenly, I was irreversibly awake. And the reality
that I saw, I had always known it — deep within the deepest place inside me I
had known it to be true. Yet the realization was shattering, perhaps because of
the very fact that I had buried this knowledge so deep.

This is what humans are all about: gang up and fight. It goes by
different names — patriotism, team spirit… Give yourself the illusion that
there is somewhere a goodness in this
effort, and you can go right ahead. A band music can play alo
The Handshake Hours 2008-04-25 08:48:41 When the
clock strikes 12, the hour and minute hands exactly line up with each other. Are
there other times when this handshake happens? We could say six-thirty, but
nope, the hour hand is a little further than the half-hour mark. Not a quarter
past three, the hour hand is ahead. Not a quarter to nine, the hour hand is
behind. So is it just twelve o’ clock? Are there no other times like this when
the hour and minute hands line up perfectly?
If there weren’t any, how could the minute hand cross the hour hand
once every hour? The answer, as you might be knowing, is that there are other such times, only they are not
so neatly expressible. What are those times?
I have developed a very simple algorithm which I have used to found
those times. They are given below, the seconds correct up to Read more:Hours
Transitions 2008-05-06 07:22:02 I saw a
dead animal lying on the street today. Near a busy bend. It was a small animal,
about the size of a cat. I think it was a cat, but it might have been a young
dog. It had clearly been run over or pressed to the road in some other way. This
showed only in its head, as far as I remember. Its head was strangely narrow.
It had been squashed in a little. There wasn’t much blood I could see, but the
jaws had been pressed down and the tongue was lolling out of the slightly open
mouth.
Disturbing, no doubt. However, after the almost one second that I
had glanced at it, I knew that not all of that disturbing feeling related to
the obvious reasons connected with a gruesome death. Or maybe, they connected
with exactly that, only momentarily I had forgotten what feelings were supposed
to be Read more:Transitions
Me or You? 2008-05-08 08:02:39 Someone
has insisted, repeatedly, that I am a bit too concerned about myself, always
muddled up with sordid affairs inside my head, and that I don’t care a hang
about others.

Dove is burning up Indonesia. 2008-05-21 07:20:07
I learnt
a few weeks back from the Greenpeace
website that Unilever, which manufactures Dove, uses palm oil in many of
its products. That's not a problem. The problem is that they are acquiring this
palm oil from illegal suppliers in Indonesia
, as a result of which the
Indonesian forests are under a huge, huge threat. Let me remind you, there

last night. (I don’t call it at 3 this

night at 3.) In that dream, I was in some type of hotel. That hotel had an
ancient little statue. It was a fat, stout old man’s statue. The statue had a
long thing in its hand. Most probably it was a whip. But its purpose was not
torture. The hotel people had told me once that that statue had been built

in a disk crash. However, today I opened an old backup CD to look for WinRAR

A scene in the middle of waking from a dream

Now, here, my world is running a fever
