Thought Power

Ever since I have been thinking, I have tried to discover the process of thinking. It has been as elusive a problem to solve as solving any open problem in the realm of Computer Science or in any particular domain for that purpose. When I think how I think, it is actually the same thinking capability of mine that I am using to discover what it really is. I am trying to define x using x. This is what is called recursion. Either thoughts can exist and are expressed in term of other thoughts or they do not exist at all. Going by the above conclusion, thoughts can either exist or they do not. Viewing from a mental paradigm, either a mind is full of thoughts giving it enough expressive power or there are no thoughts at all. Thoughts form the seeds of expression. Any thought goes through several phases before it is expressed through the various modes of expression. Expression is basically in the form of actions. Actions depict power and strength. Hence transitively thoughts form the basis of actions. The first phase of thought conversion to expression involve visualization. It is this vision of the thought that drives the other phases which I will discuss later.

SML - Stretching my Limits

It has been quite an evening for me though. I swam 50 laps i.e., 1000 metres straight with only a 5-10 seconds break after every 20 metres lap. It was great, I felt as if I was the best swimmer in the world. I never expected though that I will be able to do that. It however proved to be a mind game. Instead of counting till 50 I counted 1 every 2 laps and I had to make it till 25. And there it was I never knew how I strecthed my limit and crossed all mental barriers to complete the above mentioned 50 laps. I got the hint of how winners achieve. It is just a matter of perceptions. Some body has rightly said, Winners do not do different things, they do things differnently. There are various ways of acheiving success and I just took one of the ways and Bull's eye I achieved my target. Life is just about learning and it is just a matter of when you realize your real potential. It is just lessons like (SML) that one should learn and jot it down to be referred to later. So, In essence I am still seeking and I am yet to get what I seek. I do not know what I am going to get or what I seek till I actaully get it. Anyway I will just end it here....just to learn more and seek more...

Scorching Sun and the AC

It is summer time and it is very very hot out here. You would say what is new with that. But there is an emperical observation over here. Remaining seated in the centrally air conditioned laboratory is a luxury, provides a lot of comfort. But going out for lunch or snacks or even a cup of tea is discouraging. It is just that beating the heat has become difficult now a days. May be its the Global warming effect that is the reason behnd this or may be remaining in the AC for so long is doing its job. But whatever the reason may be, I am feeling the scorching sun every iota of a second the moment I step outside of the office. I do not know what I am to conclude about this but I go onto say that, Everything has its merits and demerits. And sometimes the merit counts and sometimes its rather nasty counterpart. Its not just about beating the heat that I am concerned, its about everything I do. But one thing is for sure I shoud not complain, because it is this act of mine that is going to make my life even worse. Adios, Amigos.....See ya later...

Re-surrection

Everything needs a change sometime or the other. I have been seeking in the External for quite sometime, I had been away for quite some time now to seek the Internal. As every single human being will agree, no sort of extremism ever helps, there is always a hybrid or moderate mode for most of the things that we do. Everything that we do/have/, if observed carefully has two facets, to name them an external and an internal. For example, taking a simple example of a rose flower, its beauty and smell are its external manifestation and the kind of happiness or appreciation that it evokes in us, by virtue of it external properties(being a Computer Science Engineer, I take the freedom to specify properties of Systems :-) ) contributes to its internal manifestations. These two manifestations although are wide apart, but there seems to be an invisible thread of bonding which binds both of the above. The bonding which ties both these extremes is a layer, which corresponds to the path of moderation, which has been referred to above. We are unconsciously or sub-consciously conscious of it but we are not aware of it that we are conscious of this particular aspect. This middle path is what I would like to call "Eternal" a hybrid of external and internal. I can write volumes on this but wrods fail to express what I intend to express. I will continue seeking to express the Internal aspects to the External aspects taking the help of the Eternal to bridge the gap between the two, being consciously aware of it.
