My Map — II

I see that the orig­i­nal aim of my map: to be able to pin­point any loca­tion on the map with just one piece of infor­ma­tion instead of two, was rather ran­domly far-fetched. What I was imag­in­ing, was cre­at­ing a map­ping of all the points in two dimen­sions to a sys­tem in one dimen­sion. Which per

My own Map

I wanted to make my own map, and plot­ting sys­tem. Here’s what I imag­ined. Note: This post is a sum­mary of all that I’ve read, and found to be related to this spe­cific idea of mine — I don’t really know what I can do that would be counted as entirely ingen­u­ous. How the images

Major Joke: That kid makes up questions for himself, and even those he can’t solve

Major truth: He is truly awe­some. Or at least, so I believe. When Lock­hart said, In fact,  if  I  had  to  design  a mech­a­nism  for  the  express pur­pose  of  destroy­ing  a  child’s  nat­ural curios­ity and  love of  pattern-making, I couldn’t pos­si­bly do as good a  job as  is  cur­rently being done. I didn’t quite agree with

What gives us more pleasure: the pursuit of of our desires or the attainment of them?

From Tony Robbins’s ‘The Monk who sold his Fer­rari’: “How would you drop an egg thruogh a height of four feet, with a floor of con­crete below, and still not have it cracked?” Triv­ially, we all begin by think­ing how to cir­cum­vent the hard­ness of the con­crete, or the weak­ness of the egg. We do

Do we value only what we struggle for?

When was the last time you were delighted to get some­thing you were ‘sup­posed’ to? For instance, how many of us would actu­ally delight in receiv­ing break­fast? Not me! What we do not strug­gle for, we take as granted — the most fun­da­men­tal exam­ple being our own exis­tence. Rarely would one find some­body so con­sci­en­tious, he

The Mathematical Crusade

It hap­pened. Like, two weeks ago. See — that’s how awe­somely fast my life is. Hence, I for­got to tell you about it. Now, I’m pretty offi­cially also called tech.head, while Anurag is called Ac.  Head. And I’ve actu­ally aban­doned most of my anger at that. Here go my “tech­ni­cal” con­tri­bu­tions to this year’s cru­sade.

Know Thyself

Know thy­self. — Ora­cle ‘Nuff Said.

Why did I learn the Alphabet?

For those of you came here to just know the answer, very bluntly put — I don’t know. That per­haps why I asked the ques­tion in the first place. Also because the ques­tion trou­bles me. When I used to do it, I never even thought about it. Just like I never thought about any­thing I did

I Had A Road Accident! :D

Oh yes! Fif­teen days ago. And not just a ran­dom acci­dent. One in which I was hos­pi­tal­ized for three days! And I got to miss all my half-yearlies. Truth be said, I could’ve given the last two HY exams, but why put the effort when I have the option not to! It was def­i­nitely an

The Opinion Paradox

An opin­ion of mine: All opin­ions are spu­ri­ous, and delu­sory. Believe in this opin­ion of mine. Have fun deal­ing with that one! It seri­ously pains me, how every body opin­ion­ates on every other thing, per­son, and activ­ity. The worst part per­haps, is how even I, despite being con­scious of this ter­ri­ble habit, fall prone to it often. I
