Randomness

Right now, I have an assignment to choose 1 out of first 15 sections in the book of "The Society of Mind" by Marvin Minsky and write a one page summary of it as homework assignment for Artificial Intelligence Course in my graduate studies.

Since it was not an easy choice where all parts are good topics, I decided to generate a random number using RANDOM.org website between 1 to 15. It may sound lot of unnecessary work for just a number but if you might have faced or heard that some of the best things happens by chance and I thought that if I choose a random chapter rather than going by my bias, it will give me an opportunity to explore something new and who knows it might hold my attention for entire life. 

The stage is set.

Get Set Go.

So my random number is 11 and so it is. The section name is "The Shape of Space". Wow, I surely wouldn't have picked this one thinking "What has space got to do with Artificial Intelligence?". Let's see how it works out. Don't let too much intelligence ruin the chance of discovering something new by loosening yourself and giving randomness a chance.

Have  Nice Weekend.
Cheers.

EMI

The title of this post is inspired by a Bollywood movie sharing same name. I happen to be neglecting to watch this flick for quite some time just because the print was not of good. quality But, today I decided to go for it as pass time during my dinner.



The movie revolves around the life of people in debt with home loans, personnel loans and credit card loans. It shows how much pain and embarrassment loan recovery agent inflict upon defaulters. It staged how a husband and wife plan to divorce due to unbearable pressure of monthly EMIs. In one case, a father takes 10 lakhs to fund his son's foreign MBA studies where the son later drops out in the middle of the course only to see one day how his dad is humiliated by these recovery goons.

Truly, lives of several people is loosing peace because of the desires to have more than what one's means allow due to peers pressure or uncontrolled desires. Also, after watching the movie I felt a sense of relief and calmness thinking that "Good that I did not pursued my MS else I would have ended up taking more than 8 lakhs loan and my entire family's life and peace would have been now mortgaged.

Today, again I have made up my mind not to pursue any plan if its cost is more than 3 lakh loan but rather be satisfied with low risk pursuit so that the welfare of my family is taken care with peace. God I wish all families who are seething under the pain of loan to get out of it and live at peace.
AMEN !!

For Hire...

The trouble times teach us alternative career path. I am on one of them. Do not fear and you can be confident on my chopping skills. I have proven track record of undertaking any tough assignment and finishing it to fine details. You can be relaxed when U know I am on it. There have been times when I have worked artistically on my subject of torture though may seems brutal to their well wishers.


Opps!! I was talking about choosing Chef as my alternate career option. What did you think ?

Oh my Goosh !!!

KnowHow Air Kiss :)

The wikipedia starts with "The air kiss is a ritual or social gesture whose meaning is basically the same as that of many forms of kissing." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_kiss). This act of kissing is mostly seen in movies and in celebrity shows where the two parties do some strange act of kissing in air. I was never interested to know about it until the moment which made me to do some brief research on its details.

An old friend of mine is expected to see me and I will be meeting her after long time. After completing a brief planning of her visit, I came across a strange doubt. "Should I hug her or should I just handshake her ?"

I don't want to get too close to her and make the situation uncomfortable for both of us and nor do I want to give her cold welcome. Then a sudden idea of the "strange act" came to my mind. After doing some Google on the world wide web I came across this video which very lucidly explains the theory and demonstrates elegantly the idea of kissing in air. I am sure everyone of us might come across a similar dilemma someday but take my word, this social gesture is not at all rough but a very educated way to express your warm welcome to the other party.

I am herein posting the 70% video as my free video converter do not allow 100% conversion. The link of the video is at the bottom and you can use that to see the remaining..

Please do leave a comment on what is your idea of this situation and how would you react to it. Well, let me see how it turns out in my case ;)

Happy Kissing...Muaaaah !!

Dasvidanya sued for copyright violation

I never realized how could someone steal my story without my consent. Do you know any lawyer ?

Dasvidanya, is story of my life. It is about me and my "Things to Do" habit. Not every morning but yes quite frequently I make my "Things to do" list which may comprise of post-it notes or notepad document on my office desktop. Also, I swear how closely the writer peeped into my personal life and noted it's minute details.

I have a 4 girls in my life who became a part of it and I cannot clear the impressions they left. It reminds me of how I still feel about one of my school day girl, the one for whom I fought with my competitor in class 5 and even got thrashings from my class teacher with badminton racket. I adore her till today. The office life of Mr. Amar reminds me of my complacent nature of agreeing to most of people and never fighting for my own right. I was never weak but non-violence became my nature without even me noticing it. Actor wishes reminds me of my own which I hold to myself and how they have taken back seat and grooming my career took front. My first wish to learn painting, my second to go and study at IIT, learning tabla, guitar, violin , keeping good health with regular excercise and so on have become unknown to my life. How I neglected the beauty of nature and hardly remember when I saw last sun rise or sun set. My family and my friends are great asset in my life and how I silently adore them in darkness. My brother, who is more than just a blood relation but more of my friend and my love for him is as much as a mother have for her child.

The anger that lies dormant in him, the smile that covers most of his face all time and a restless mind is the characterestic of Amar. The wish for Foreign trip holds close to both of the hearts. I am speechless. I am dumb not knowing how to react or what transformation should I bring to my life to make it truly lively else rightly commented, "You died long back, this chart is just the print out"

Dasvidanya :)
