An invigorating bhaat session meandering seamlessly into the stretches of the night and we have a blog to write. The eccentricity of such nocturnal rap sessions is the perfectly random behaviour of the topics, the views and the equally random behaviour of both. Mathematically, the discussion could be modelled as a random permutation of a set of functions, such that each function possesses the peculiar property that the function and all its derivatives are continuous but none could be determined to be non-increasing or non-decreasing.
The low-cost (or rather no-cost) bhaat sessions are available in plenty and could be viewed as an ideal prototype to exemplify the Third Law of Thermodynamics. In an era where amalgamated sciences are emerging each day (Bio-Infomratics, Socio-Biology and stuff), such bhaat session could pave a way for studying yet another path-breaking heterogeneous field of science. This field would bring together the laws of physics with the social and psychological studies of mankind.
A bhaat session is generally triggered when a group of persons, who have nothing worthwhile to do, start talking. The ability to talk is critical but the mere definition obviates the necessity for hearing. If the group starts to hear, the possibility of deriving a conclusion arises which is not expected even in subpar bhating sessions.
Women, with the natural dexterity to bhat, are gifted with a tailormade part in the brain. Men, however, are denied with such gifts. But there are certain institutions that specialize in training men for bhating. One such institution is engineering. The engineering schools train the incoming fledglings for enough competency to take on either software industry or management. Whereas women have a special part in the brain, its ironic that men learn this skill by the gradual erosion of a part of brain (through the aforementioned institutions).
The intricacies of bhating are still an enigma but a better understanding of bhating could incite answers to a plethora of unreciprocated questions pertaining to the gamut of sciences.

Problems
(Please dont pull your hair after reading this !!)
The universe of all problems is arbitrarily divided into being solvable or unsolvable. Unsolvable problems are actually simple as they do not burden the ego with the guilt of a defeat. The solvable problems, on the other hand, are again classified as being simple and difficult. But commonsense says that if a problem could be solved, it must not be difficult and hence simple.
But for most of the people, problems are always difficult. This is simply because they think that the problem is solvable. Thinking otherwise would not only make their life simpler but also make the problem vanish. But there are people who oppose this outlook towards problems and try to solve the “solvable difficult” problems. When they do not succeed, they realize that the problem was unsolvable and bawl over their wasted energies. If they succeed, they realize the problem was actually simple and then they again cry over their wasted energies because the problem was simple.
Inventing a bulb was simple for Adison but it is still unsolvable for a person like me. Though each problem proposes itself in a different way to each individual, the hardness of a problem should not depend on how an individual perceives it. It should be either simple or unsolvable.
We are not sure how many problems are unsolvable but the problems which could be solved are always simple. Because after being solved, they are simple and being independent of time, if they are simple at some point of time, then they should be simple at all points of time. All solvable problems are simple.
The dynamics of a problem are always simple but the equations of the solution might be unsolvable. Though the solution to a simple problem is also simple because had it been difficult, the problem would not have been simple in the first place. Then what is it that makes Adison invent a bulb and not me. It is the abilities of the individual that make the difference. The perception of an individual, his intelligence, his knowledge, his perseverance, his determination, his confidence, his competence all contribute to the solution of the solution. People who have the right ingredients almost always solve the problem because they see it as being simple and not unsolvable !!

Just a thought
Often confronted with Gandhism, I have debated on either sides and never reached a conclusion as to I believe in it or not. I could never believe that every problem in this world could be solved through ahimsa, but it is though quite evident that if every man does believe in this, then this world will become a better place and we will reach very close to the so-called utopian concept of the world.
But man is inherently a violent creature, and living in peace with non-violence seems impossible for him. Maybe to tame this violent creature even a little bit needs a tamer, and actually a Mahatma indeed.

Yeh Jo Des Hai Tera
It was 2 o'clock in the night when three of us were talking about all the useless things in the world. It was afterall a Friday night and there was no Irene. But suddenly one of my friend asked me why I am not pursuing higher studies and I replied that I do not want to settle abroad. "Why not?" and I carefully whisked away the question by saying that the reasons are personal and emotional. It was my turn now and I asked what are your reasons to go abroad and he was also smart enough to say that there are better career options there. Fair enough.
The third of us asked the second that why does he consider US a better career option with job opportunities growing every day. The answer started a chain of discussion between those two and as usual the discussion went off the premise of the initial question. They discussed everything from India's GDP, its econony, how these would improve if more manufacturing companies open up and so on an so forth.
I had recently watched Swades and listening to this discussion amongst us, I started appreciating the movie even more. The problem as depicted in the movie is the people. The movie tackled very grass root problems of illiteracy, basic amneties and how we, the people, could help solve them. I started thinking that the movie was a masterpiece because it clearly depicted the mentality of all of us.
We are supposed to be among the top brains of the nation. If there is none of us here, then who will make the GDP higher, who will bring manufacturing companies, who will better the economy. It is a hard question to ponder over. It is even harder to stand this truth because we all know it but do not admit it. I have been tormented myself and now I am admitting it.

Me myself and no Irene
Earlier people used to go to some dense forest of Himalayas to detach
themselves from family, friends and all other relatives.
These days they join Software Industry... -- Annonymous
This quote that I picked up from the net clearly depicts the plight of software engineers. And now it will even become clear that why there is no Irene.
Well nothing much to blog about right now. Just started the blog, so thought to add a few lines. Will post a few things soon and if you accidentally happen to visit this page again, be sure that you have insurance (for the accident.. of course).
