Complicated

 COMPLICATED

People say life is all about how you grow up, how you do and what you achieve. Different people have different prospective towards life and their own very unique definition about it. But all of them have a common point, life is about struggle. There are people who say life is study. Some say life is hard work. To achieve your desired goal is life. And there are yet another group of people who say life is love! And then culture also comes into the picture. For Indians, life is about making their parents feel proud of them. For some other country, it may be about the enjoyment. For some people, life is all about exploring, adventure and travelling. For artists, life may be about music and dance and guitar and flute and the countless! For a Physicist, life is about the Einstein's equation. For an Engineer, it may be about finding solutions to technical problems. And to the best of all these, everyone sounds good and incredible in its own way. But, if I would have to define what life is, I would say "Life is all about approximation. And how accurate you are in making that approximation is perfection. When you achieve perfection, you are limitless! ". Imagine a car (yes of course choose your best one). You can only drive the car on approximation. Accurate approximation makes you a good driver. And so is life.

Hard work pays. Does it? No, it's the patience that pays. Of course, hard work acts as the fuel but patience is the engine that will run your machine. I heard a quote somewhere a few days back, "Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated". Rubbish. I mean who says that! Life is indeed complicated. To whom it seems so simple? But, the beauty lies in complications. After all, we are humans and it's our passion to play with complications. One can't achieve success without difficulties. It doesn't makes any fun in achieving the success without complications. If life would be that simple, Einstein won't have to do such long calculations, Wright brothers won't have to do ridiculous experiments before flying the first aeroplane, Steve Jobs won't struggle to build up Apple. All of them took challenges and succeeded.

On the whole, life must be an Integrated Circuit that contains thousands of talent similar to circuits but designed to perform a specified task. This is what an Integrated Circuit is, your Life!

चुनावी नतीजे

आज भारत के 16वे लोक सभा चुनाव का परिणाम आ गया. जिस दिन का काफ़ी समय से पूरे भारत को इंतज़ार था वो आया और कई हैरतअंगेज पक्ष भी अपने साथ ले कर आया. चुनाव का यह सिलसिला सितंबर - अक्टूबर के महीने से चालू हुआ था और आज जा कर थमा. ऐसे में सबसे बड़ी बात ये है कि जनमत की जीत हुई और विश्व के सबसे बड़े चुनाव में बड़ी संख्या में लोगों ने अपना वोट डाला और चुनाव के प्रति अपनी जागरूकता दिखाई.

ऐसे तो नतीजे चुनाव के पहले और बाद भी काफ़ी स्पस्त थे लेकिन फिर भी आखिरी नतीजा तो सबसे अहम होता है. एनडीए को 331 सीटें मिलीं. वहीं ताज्जुब तब हुआ जब BJP को अकेले 282 सीटों पर विजय प्राप्त हुआ. ऐसा लग रहा था की मोदी की सरकार बनेगी लेकिन सिर्फ़ BJP 272 का जादुई आँकड़ा पार कर जाएगी इसका उम्मीद ना के बराबर ही था. देश में दिखाए गए सभी exit पोल के मुताबिक एनडीए की सरकार बननी तय थी और वही हुआ. नेताओं का कहना था की exit पोल पिछले दो साल की तरह इस साल भी ग़लत साबित होगा और मेरे ख्याल से ऐसा ही हुआ. फर्क सिर्फ़ इतना है की भारतीय जनता पार्टी को दिखाए गए सीटों की संख्या से भी बहुत ज्यादे वोट मिले और कांग्रेस को 50 का आँकड़ा पार कर पाना भी मुस्किल हो गया! एक बात तो साफ़ है कि देश में मोदी कि लहर है.

ये चुनाव मेरे लिए काफ़ी महत्वपूर्ण रहा. पता नहीं क्यों लेकिन मुझे मन ही मन ये लग रहा था की अबकी बार मोदी सरकार. शायद मुझे भी मोदी की लहर ही लग गयी थी. मुझे पोलिटिक्स में ज्यादा रूचि नही है फिर भी मैं अपने आप से काफ़ी हैरान था की मैं इसमे मजे ले रहा हूँ. सच कहूँ तो मैं मोदी को ही प्रधानमंत्री के रुप में देखना चाहता था और मेरा ऐसा मानना है की देश के बाकी लोग भी मेरे तरह ही सोचते हैं. बात अगर BJP की 30 साल बाद की सबसे बड़ी जीत की करें तो तीन बातें काफ़ी साफ़ नजर आती हैं-

1. देश में मोदी की लहर नहीं तूफान है.
2. लोग कांग्रेस की भ्रस्ट और जनविरोधि नीतियों से त्रस्त थे और बदलाव चाहते थे.
3. इस बार लोगों ने जात - पात से ऊपर उठ कर वोट डाला.

सारी राजनीतिक मान्यताएंं ध्वस्त हो गयीं और मोदी को सप्स्त बहुमत मिला. ये सिर्फ़ सत्तापलट नहीं बल्कि नई सोंच की जीत है. मेरे जैसे युवा वर्ग को रोजगार चाहिए, सिर्फ़ इतना ही नहीं रोजगार के अनेक अवसर चाहिए! आज भारत में रोजगार कि स्थिति बहुत खराब है और ऐसे में मोदी ही एक सहारा नजर आते हैं. गुजरात में उन्होंने ये साबित किया है. साथ ही भारत को विश्व में एक मज़बूत और शक्तिशाली देश बनाना होगा. अगर अपने experience की बात करूँ तो ये अनुभव काफी रोमांचक रहा. देश की राजनीति को समझने में काफी मदद मिली. नेताओं के चाल और सियासी दांव पेंच समझ आयी. पहली बार आँकलन करने की खुशी मह्सूस हुई. दिन भर टेलीविजन के सामने बैठा रहा और अपने आंक्लनो पे विचार करता रहा. हालाँकि अभी भी मेरे मन में काफ़ी सवाल जवाब के लिए उत्साहित बैठी है और आशा है की जल्दी ही मैं इनका जवाब ढूँढ लूँगा. नई सरकार को मेरी तरफ़ से बधाईया. चलता हूँ. मन खुश है. आज तो पार्टी बनती है!

Quantum Transplanting

Science & Technology has always served mankind to enrich itself to the extreme of its kind. Physics is the very foundation of matter and energy. And physics with addition to electronics has always resulted in some unexpected, unpredictable mind-blowing innovations. We invented laser, we invented the transistor, created first computer, helped to construct the internet, invented television, radio, radar, microwaves, MRI scans, X-rays and almost everything we see in our day to day life. The modern world is a slave of electronics. From analog to digital, continuous to binary, cell phones to internet, transistors to digital calculators, electronics in context with physics has invented some of the great discoveries of era on which our life depends upon.

The above information is not just informative rather a mass of people already know it. I am here to contrast my views over a new idea that is penetrating into my mind for several days. An idea that can bring revolution in this existing world. The idea of “Quantum Transplanting”.

It is believed that Einstein was the only person to use a maximum of 12% of his mind during his lifetime. When I say 12%, I mean while solving problems, he could only use 12% of his brain’s power/capacity to solve it. The rest 88% remains unused. No one after him or before him used this amount of brain in their lifetime. For the time being, put this fact on hold while I move on to the next piece of information.

It is quite clear that inspite of having brains of same capacity the mental ability of people varies from person to person. Some are intelligent, some weak, some extremely intelligent and some extremely weak when mental ability is taken into count. All the discoveries, laws and inventions are performed by a group of so called intelligent people who are supposed to use a bit more percentage of their brain than a normal or average person does. According to me, this results in slow output/outcomes of inventions/discoveries as only a few portion of people are involved in the same. Now, how to enhance this speed? The answer seems quite simpler yet tough to me. What about “Virtual Brain Transplantation”? Yes, you heard it correct, “Virtual Brain Transplantation”, a technique in which the brain of one person would virtually be transplanted into another person without actually removing it from the donor. This may be called as the photocopy technique. A photocopy of one’s brain would be pasted into another! Trust me, the consequences would be amazing. Let us go back to the fact of Einstein. Suppose the brain of Einstein is transplanted into a student. Since Einstein has made several discoveries and has plenty of knowledge, the student won’t have to study all those rubbish (pardon, not rubbish at all till date) again to understand what Einstein said. Infact, he already has a replica of Einstein’s brain that has knowledge highest from others. Now this student will work after 12% of brain to invent some more new things. On an average, he would add 7-8% of his brain and invent a new idea/theory. Imagine Einstein invented so many things by just using 12%, how much can be invented by using an extra of 8% to it? As soon as this 20% of brain invents something, it should be transplanted into another person (or I would say to every human being in this world) and he would add an extra 8%. And to be very sure, we would invent things very fast and reveal some of the unfolded facts of this universe very soon.

Now the question arises, how would we do so? Let me give you a brief information prior to its answer:

Consider two twins Rajiv and Saurabh. Let them be the students of a University away from their hometown. At one day, their parents come and take away Rajiv with them to their home for some days. Some day at home, they observe that Rajiv is feeling hungry and wants some food. Now here comes the fact that it is believed twins possess same nature of anger, hunger, happiness etc. at the same time. So it won’t be that difficult for the parents to know Saurabh (out there at University) would also be hungry. It is quite obvious. Infact, it is the property of twins.

Considering the same property, Science & Technology has also found out the same property when some sub-atomic particles are taken into count. Actually, atoms have some inherent property that can’t be altered or changed at any cost. An atom is somehow broke into two parts (it’s not that easy to break) and then one part is put for observation and another one is fixed into a computer. Now these two parts of the atom behave as twins. Any change in the 1^st part of atom would exactly be reflected by the 2^nd one in the computer. A GPIB card would trace/read the change in 2^nd part through the computer and we get to know what is actually happening in the 1^st part of atom. This is used to transfer information without having actual contact with the object. This technique is called as the “Quantum Information System”, a blessing of Quantum Mechanics. Quantum Information System or the QIS is a latest technology in which sub-atomic particles are used to trace information in a unique way. The atom kept in computer executes signals that are traced and manipulated by the GPIB card and stored in the form of digital signals and binary language.

The same technique can be used to transplant the brain. A part of suitable atom would be injected in a person’s brain through physical operation and another one into the computer. The atom in computer would exactly read the changes and information stored in the person’s mind and would reflect it in the computer. Here the noise and distortion in signal could be rectified by converting into digital signals and different gates. Digital electronics would help upto a great extent. Further the computer would transmit the information to another atom present in the brain of another person and hence, the information/brain would be transplanted virtually.

This technique is new and needs a lot of research yet to be done. But imagine how better the world would be where every people would have same mental capacity and an ever increasing mental strength. This would result so dramatically that one can’t imagine. Quantum Transplantation is an interesting topic and who knows if this happens in coming future and you would be the next inventor of a great discovery?

EXPLORING : THE BEST WAY TO EXPLORE YOURSELF

EXPLORING ENGINEERING

Engineering, rather the second name of higher education nowadays, is nothing but purely applied Physics followed by its validation to the nature with Mathematics. And Physics has always been a matter of exceptions. Engineering, with context to India, is the prior choice of students ready to take higher studies. And the survey that over 5 lac Engineers are manufactured every year reveals the fact that India is producing a remarkable number of more Engineers than what actually is needed. And yet we come across the statements like "We lack good engineers in India" by some great businessmen like Narayana Murthy (who is himself a pass out from IIT). Yes he is correct. India might produce Engineers in a quantity but surely lacks the quality. And this the reason why India is far behind in engineering, technology, communication, discovery and many more from some of the leading countries of the world. The reason behind this is the structure of Indian Education System and the mentality of Indian students as well. The only solution to this drastic situation is to Explore. Exploring is one of the most important things one should practice to do. The word 'Explore' is the root of all discoveries, laws and inventions that we study today. Actually, the more you explore, the more you get idea. The more you explore, the more you gain. The more you explore, the more you get confused. The more you explore, the more you clear your confusion. The more you explore, the more you get knowledge. The more you explore, the more you get clear conception. The more you explore, the more you achieve. The more you explore, the more you expertise. The more you explore, the more you discover. And the moment you discover, you conquer. A teacher might teach you well but it is impossible for him to give you each and every knowledge. Unless and until you explore, you won't achieve. But yes, at the same time, exploring is itself a difficult task to start. I would like to mention "All birds find shelter during rain, But Eagles avoid rain by flying above the clouds. Problems are common but approach makes the difference". Surely, Eagles would have explored a better way to save themselves. Considering Me,

I Love To Explore And This Is The Reason Why I Find Topics With Vast Concepts More Interesting. Because Topics With Limited Concept Won't Give You The Opportunity To EXPLORE.

Dream Big, Explore Big, Work Hard.

HOSTEL FOR ME

It's a common abbreviation we are used to listen since our childhood that there is a difference between Hotel and Hostel. The difference of 's'. And for sure, 's' stands for students. People say hostel is a place where you won't find any glimpse of life, you won't find good accommodations, you won't find good food. But this definition, rather a common misconception seems to be modified. For me, handling a situation is a different introspection. 'Seeing' a situation and 'Looking At' a situation are two different aspects. Anyone can see a situation but 'looking at' a situation is completely different and that requires knowledge. I too look at this particular situation differently (pardon if I am being a bit extraordinary, for sure I am not that good).

For Me, Hostel is a brilliant assembly of good friends. Actually, friends are the integral part of one's life. And good friends are always special. Here at hostel, one can have plenty of friends. But good friends are limited. And trust me, they would make you watch the beauty of life.

For Me, Hostel is the Melting Point of every Rich and Poor. People say, all are equal before law. The same thing happens here. Being a commoner is a legacy here. A rich may share the room with a poor with an extreme bond of coordination. And trust me, this bond never sees the status rather it neglects all the qualities and disqualities of one another.

For Me, Hostel is the Locus of foods from different parts of the Country. For food is the essential organ of the human life organism, we here at hostel, experience the variance of taste from different regions of the country. One can definitely justify why India is considered to be the country of exceptions. But again trust me, eating together with a huge crowd of friends is itself a different experience.

For Me, Hostel is a Home for some Brilliant Minds of the Country (yes, I am not among them. But obviously I am trying to be one). It's a common legacy that someone among us would get the highest package or would be renowned for his research work. But the fact is that the same would be from us and infact the brilliant among all of us. And this is the point where people are differentiated among themselves.

For Me, Hostel is like a Guardian which Provides Shelter to Live. Infact, it is the sole body in which we have to stay and share our sorrows as well as happiness. Yes, indeed one will have to do that. But trust me, hostel seems to be a good guardian.

One can definately find all the above things at his home. And therefore, I must say- For Me, Hostel is a Home Away From Home. It indeed depends on how you see things. Things are ofcourse good for positive and undoubtedly bad for negative.

At last, as an Engineer, being a bit scientific,

For Me, Hostel Is The Interference Of Wavefronts Coming From Different Parts Of Country. It's Upto You What You Choose Between The Corresponding Dark And Bright Fringes....

Prepone And Postpone

A few days back,when I was casually thinking over the words and their meanings, I came to know that there is no word in English language like prepone and postpone. Quiet confused? But yes, it is absolutely true that the word postpone which we use fluently rather phenomenally in our day to day life, has its no actual existence. No, Neither in British English, nor in American English.

Not convinced?

Let me give you a more clear conception about it:

'Pre' and 'Pone' are suffixes. The rule and regulations which every language has, and so English has too, and the grammar says that suffix and prefix can only be added to a word that has its actual existence. Just for example, prenoon and postnoon. Here, noon has its existance in English. But, to make the word prepone and postpone, 'pone' word should first exist in English. Is there any word like 'pone' that we have heard while reading English? No, so how can we make these words avoiding all the complexities of grammar?

But I would like to remind you here, English is the language of exceptions. Although not accepted by British as well as American English, this word is fluently used by both the verses. Actually, these words are the inventions of Indians English. Our writers, poets, novelists have shown their great influence in the field of language and literature and that is why Indian English is so widely accepted all over the world. 

Don't Take English For Granted!!!

English is considered to be the most widely read language in world. Every fifth person of this world is well familiar with this crazy language. Perhaps, it contains the largest vocabulary about 02 billion words. Prose  plays, dramas, fiction, couplets etc, these all beautiful shine of this widely read language make it a valuable one.

But the craze of this crazy language doesn't stops here. The way/style of reading and writing also minds here.

Here We Go:

Boxing rings are square, blood doesn't become sugar in blood sugar. If an Indian Pig from India, why not a Guinea Pig from Guinea?

Perhaps, all English superstars should be sent for an asylum. What is the use of that Hamburger in which there is no Ham? Sweat Meats are Candy and Sweet Potatoes are not Sweet. The name of meat refreshes my mood but these fools, call them candy. If potatoes are not sweet that what's the use of the name sweet potato?

Have Feet that Smell and Noses that Run! If a man is Human than what is Batman, He-man, Spider-man and all? If Vegetarians eat Vegetables, what do Humanitarians eat? If the going gets tough, the tough gets going, than what is the use of that going? It's worthless! Why do a Good Guy and Good Man differ from? Is there any Ice in an Ice Cream? Why don't they call it as a Cold Cream? But no, cold cream's are the lotion use to protect our face in winter!

If the 't' and 'i' are not of same size, than why it is said that " Cut your 't' and dot your 'i' , otherwise your 't' will become'l' and 'i' will become 'e' " ?

Every language has a sort of complications and its own royalty. It is up to us how to practice and enhance the brightness of the language at every stage. Perfectly it has been said "Practice Makes A Man Perfect And Complete". Don't take it as the TVC of Raymond's - A Complete Man. ;-) 

My Love For Physics

Yes, everyone would become a bit confused that even being a student of mathematics (as it is my main subject), I love physics. And this has some specific reasons as well. According to the present scenario and my personal observation, everything we do or even pretend to do, involves physics behind it.

Take an example:

The most common thing we do in our day to day life is eating (just taking a simple example). The basic principle involved behind it is 'Friction'. When we uphold the food, our hands apply frictional force so as to hold it and not allow it to slip. Similarly, while chewing, there is some kind of frictional force that is responsible for the proper chewing at our desired positions. Alternatively, just imagine the life without physics! We would hold the food to take it to the mouth but it would slip in between and may fall on our clothes. So funny but very serious!

I just find physics very interesting. It has many things yet to be discovered and it will last long. My viewpoint is that mathematics has been experimented and discovered so much that there is no more things to discover new. Some basic formulas and other key-points are the main theory for solving a question. All is that you have to apply your mental power to solve the tricky problems and make them in the format of the given formulas. Physics is somewhat different. Many things are yet to be discovered. Each and every question involves some new theory/facts.

I definitely love physics and my love would never end for that. I would also thank my teacher (we at Vidyamandir Classes, call them bhaiya) Rajeev Ranjan Kumar (B.Tech, IIT Guwahati) to generate a spark in me for physics.

JEE Preparation: A Long Term Game

No doubt, I am an aspirant for JEE but a thinker as well. At this stage of my life, when I am expected to appear for the exam, I casually turn around and think over my past and try to recall all the moments and get to a conclusion that this one is a big deal. A long-term game with a combination of hard labour and determination (which I surely lack J) results to the so what called JEE preparation. And the man having all these qualities qualifies it.

                                                                         Just think over it, I am going to appear for the exam after a long study of 14yrs right from the LKG. During these 14yrs , even a single small mistake would make me ineligible for taking the exam. Remember, there are plenty of distractions available in the market which would easily deviate somebody, and I too faced all these things. But a duet of self control and good guardianship will surely save from all these cheap things.
