 It was a normal workday. Meetings, fixes, calls.

Skipping was part of the evening schedule.

Thought of the day - a blissfully empty mind is a great state of mind to be in.

Thought train

The music is playing from my earphones and i have got one hour of a battery in laptop. This bearably hot evening i am on my train back to Bangalore from Udgir, my native. Humpi Link express, the train, is passing through some part of Andra Pradesh and its 4:47pm. In many Hindu rituals the priests pronounce the historic name of the area where the ritual is performed. I grew up listening to my being called as "Dandak Aranya". As it used to be called since Aryan time. Integral part of the Aryawarta - what we call Indian subcontinent.

Absolute and Relative

In geometry, we always start with axioms. Axiom of a point. Then follow the definitions of the line, plane, co-ordinate system. Thereupon built up are the various theorems and thier proofs till the enormous field of modern animation. So is the way with any scientific stream. Sciences depend more on experiments for their deductions. With the advent of programming, we see lots of mathematics, algorithms, heuristics, data churning and simulations taking pace aiding experiments. Looking at the genesis of every field and thinking why it is the way it is as it is, leads to an interesting sea of possibilities. I start with the numeral system we use. Decimal for the humans and binary for the computers. Origins of numeral system lie the social life engaged in trading for fulfilling its needs and advncement of its individuals. Answer to why not have a hundred as base opposed to ten, lie in human memory to memorize distict numerals when remembering was imperative. For computers it was the two d...
