<a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/weekend/story/0,,1409903,00.html">great article</a>, more like an interview with him where he actually explains how he is able to do the things that he does.

This post is beautiful. Reminds me of my time in Goa and Mangalore during my trip. Words well woven and written out in a poetic expression that depicts the ocean in a very subtle way. The pictures that are in the post are also very graphically depictive. Here it is.

Listen to what great a silence they behold;
Sun in the clear blue sky, the vagrant breeze warm and dry.

The prelude draws its overtures from the reprise.
Slow and steady the tune is built.
With the flats and sharps as they gather,
Tempo together with the minors and majors.
Into an experience of this astounding resonance. The voice of orbital orgasm!

Whither the moon? Whither the waters? The roar!
As the scale descends, the roar drowns into a death,
Only to pass the dying refrain as the theme to the next.
The roar speaks in a million accents: of triumphs, of disappointments,
Of convictions, of negotiations , of a variety emotions and naked reasons.

In this brutal might there is beauty – austere or magnifique;
but nothing is permitted to last more than the lifetime of a wave.
This is no ordinary orchestra.
This is life, the concert writ against the horizon of constancy.

This is one hell of a way to write a glossary on the different terms used by people who blog.

Read more on “If these words were people, I would embrace their genocide“. I have linked to this site previously and as before, this one too is a very funny article.

Actually, I do share the same feeling about many of the dumb blogs I come across every day, but hey, “One man’s junk is another man’s treasure !”. So live with it.

This week’s been terrible. My research has come to a standstill because of a problem for which i know the reason, but have no clue whatsoever about the solution. This sucks. I was supposed to meet my prof thrice this week. Never met him even once.

I guess the bug in the code is trivial because i have checked all the complex use cases and it works mighty fine for all of them. Confused as i am, this damn bug is ruining my short sleep too. It is getting pretty pathetic.

My qualifier is drawing really close and i am beginning to get terrified now. I have lots more to read but so little time left. I think i am going to clear only two out of the three papers this time and take the last one in January. Hopefully, i should be able to pass them before Jan or else i’m done for 🙁

The one fun part is that i am leaving to Savannah, GA tomorrow to meet mayilan. Malli from boston is also joining us and i sure hope that this will turn things around … Anyway, more when i get back on Monday …

  <span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;">Well eventhough this sort of thing is intuitive, IMO, knowledge is nothing but memories digged out from our own mind, hidden until the right moment, felt in a flash as intuition ! Before i become more philosophical, just read the article. Nothing mind-bending really but definitely worth the time.</span>

    You sure are interesting, little ants, crawling around on a largely uninteresting little sphere you honestly believe you control. You do not understand the wonder that surrounds you in this vast Universe, but each and every one of you believes you are the center of it. Most of the time, your tiny tragedies and victories are the only thing that matters. You rush around, acting all serious and important, as though your next wrong step could cause all of existence to collapse around you.</span>

Its so burnt into my mind for reasons i consciously do not know ! Anyway, here is the beauty for your pleasure.</p>

        I&#8217;d like to share a&#8230; revelation I had, during my time here. It came to me when I tried to&#8230; classify your species. I realized that you&#8217;re not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but&#8230; you humans do not. You move to an area&#8230; and you multiply and multiply&#8230; until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to.. spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Humans beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet&#8230; and we&#8230; are the cure.
